Brown Bear Relishes Fish
But Wants 10 Catch Own

MILWAUKEE,. Keepers at Wash
ington park zoo here recently were
puzzled by new Alaskan brown
bear cub which refused a fish
thrown into its den.
Fish is the principal diet CT the
brown bear, and officials were at a
loss to explain the cubs action.
Soon afterward a tank of running
water was put in the cage, and a
Ash was tossed in the water. The
cub quickly ran to the edge of the
tahlx and hooked the Ash with a
paw.
Zoo authorities explained it was
the bears instinct FOR catching his
own fish. Thereafter its meals were
thrown into the water.

why ships Sink

Steel ships win go to the bottom,
since density of iron is greater than
water. Pressure in a given region
makes iron denser in the same ra-
ito as that of the water. so no
matter how deep the water the ship
will sink to the bottom.

AS we look over the organic

there is n which has stood out
and is still standing as a bulwark
OF the ideas and ideals for which
we look toward.
The Young Women's Christian

the purpose of this national and
international organization are the
things which women all over the
world r seeking. If one is ask
ed, what is the YWCA, we have
only to recall its purpose of build
ing "a fellowship of women and
girls devoted to the task of realiz-
ing in u common life those ideals
of personal and social living to
which we are committed by our
faith as christians" In doing this
the women seek to understand
Jesus, to share his love for all PEG
pie, and to grow in the knowledge
of oGd-" This statement of pur-
pose carries with it all that YWCA
stands for and all that it strives to
be.
The YWCA is an idea as much
as it is an organization. It can
not be seen anymore than a person
IN his entirety can be You
can describe a persons physical
appearance and notice how she
talks and acts, but the real person
you do not see. So it is with the

M. F.-My husband and 1 are
buying 2 lots in Memphis and we
have gotten hard up and find we
cannot keep up the payments. My
husband has paid for one of the
lots and we asked if we could turn
the other back in but find that we
won't be allowed to do that.
Should we just let it go back?
Ans: One lot is paid for. Hold
on to it if you can. For that is
the location of your future home.
Your problem is to get shed of the
second lot. I should not be too
hard to get a buyer to take over
your equity. Run an ad in the pa
per-pass the word among your
friends and associates. Let folks
know you are offering a bargain
and you will not have too much
trouble disposing of this oblig-
alton. The people you are dealing
with will be glad to handle the le-
gal transaction if you bring a cash
customer around.
Sgt. Ii have two girls. One
I have knowmf for some time, I met
her while stationed in Massachu-
sets. She is a nice person and I
was going to marry her when I
rturned. But, now I have met an
other girl through mail and her
letter. are so touching, I am fall
ing for her. The girl in Mass,
doesn't like to write and she is not
romantic at all. Her letters are
dry. The other girl sends me
sweet poems, love notes and asks
important questions about life.
She is hard working and I would
not mind having a girl like her.
Which must / choose?
Ans: At ease, Sarge, slow down
a little. You do not have to rush
into a marriage with either girl.
The girl in Massachusetts has
something on the ball you know or
you wouldn't have considered mar
rying her in the first place. The
other girl writes swell letters and
seemingly is the answer to a Sar-
geant's prayers but you can't eat
sweet poems and love notes. Mail
order romances are risky business.
Keep both friendships. Make it
a point to meet this new girl and
after you have known her person
ally for six months, there will be
no doubt in your mind as to which
girl is the n you want for a life
partner.

M. MI am a farmer and a
preacher. I didn't get to finish
high school and have decided that
1 would like to take up my studies
again and get a High School dip
Iona if possible but this is my
problem. I have five young child
rem and when I get my books down
to study they make so much noise
1 don't get much out of what I
read. Sometimes I feel like just
giving up, they worry me so.
Ans: You are quite right in
wanting to further your education
and should you be able to get a
diploma it would mean a lot to
you in your work. Instead of TAX
ing your study period at night,
right at the time that the kiddies
are clowning and cutting up the
most, my suggestion is that you
get up an hour earlier in the morn
ing and study while the children
sleep. Being a farmer, this should
not be too hard. Children are only
childrn onece. At their ages, play
is necessary for their growth and
development. Be patient and UNI
derstanding with them.

M. TT have been married five
years to a very fine man. We have
a nice home, he Is kind and gives
me everything 1 want but for the
past few months I have been very
unhappy. On my vacation this
summer I met a man that I feel
sure can make me happier than I
have ever been before. Unlike my
husband, this man likes parties,
dances, music, ETC., and suddenly
/ find that I do also. In fact, we
have everything in common. He
is also married but says he will
divorce his wife if / consent to
marry him. Mr.. Wallace did I mar
ny the wrong man? Please tell
me what to do about all this.
Ans: It could be that you mar
ried the wrong man, but I doubt
it. Continue to cultivate this out
side friendship however, and there
is a strong possibility that your
husband will feel that he married
the wrong woman. For a song, a
dance and a few drinks, you are
foolishly considering walking out
on a good, kind husband and TAX
ing unto yourself one who has prov
en- by word and deed that he Is
just not the type to be faithful.
