COUNSELOR -.
Dear Mrs. Lee,

Dear Mrs. Lee,
I am nineteen years old and
was graduated from high school
last June. 1 do not feel that I
want to go to college, at least
not right now. / have job in a
shoe store and the manager of the
store tells me that when 1 am
twenty-one I shall be eligible to
manage one of his other stores.
1 have helped him in this store
after school and on Saturdays
for four years.
I do not know exactly how to
explain my problem. There is a
girl who works in an office not
far from the store in which I
work. I got acquainted with her
at the drug store where we eat
lunch. I met her last year while
/ was still in school. I used to go
to her house and we would play
the piano and dance and sing,
and several times we had din
ner together, but we would al
ways go Dutch" I never really
asked her for a date. The thing
is she is eight years older than I.
Now find that I like to be with
her more than with most of the
girls my own age, and I have
been thinking of asking her to
marry me.
My parents say she is too old
for me to spend so much Of my
time with. What do you think
about a fellows getting serious
with a girl older than himself?
j. N.
Dear J. NJ: -...-
While we cannot say what girl
is right for what boy, we can set
for some ideas that every couple
contemplating marriage should
consider.
It might be that you and your
girl are wonderfully suited for
each other, but since you question
the wisdom of marrying an older
girl than yourself, we shall try
and discuss the problem as hon.
estly and intelligently as we can.
I believe that a persons age is
more a matter of his thought
about himself and his outlook on
life than it is a matter of years.
It takes certain number Of years
to mature physically and a Ger
tain amount Of living to develop
mental and emotional maturity.
think that every boy at some
time in his growing up falls for
an older girl; likewise every girl
falls for an older man. It Is part
of growing up. So II you win stop
and analyze emotional sadsfac-

surprises. Many misplaced items
will turn up in quite unexpected
places. Don't accuse others OF
taking items as they will later
show up in your possession.
The first of the week is an
ideal time to make loans. 1t is
ideal for both parties, as the one
will be able to repay and the
other will be repaid.

The cards show success in the
culinary field. Try out new
ideas on the family dinner. Many
new recipes will be found worth
while and new tastes will pep up
spring appetites.
The weekend is ideal for plan
ming parties and trips. Many
showers will be planned, and
wedding plans formed.
The first of the week is health
time. 1t is a good time to go on
diets. Spring health tonics need
not be bitter medicines but bet
Ter still is a good spring salad.

ton You receive from being with
this girl, you will be able to see
the problem more clearly.
Usually the appeal of the older
girl is the desire to continue the
mother complex with someone
nearer your own age. In other
words you want someone who
will help you declde about things
but will not blame you if the de-
cision is wrong. Someone who
will always love you regardless
of what you do, or how bad you
treat her.
One of the hazards of this type
of relationship is the tendency
of the older girl to give you an
inferiority complex as she would
feel that her judgment is super
ior to yours due to added years.
She may be inclined to be some
what mothrerly toward you ra-
Their than to accept you as her
equal in judgment and insight.
would suggest that you try
dating her for a few months be-
fore you make up your mind about
marriage. There is plenty of time
for that later. Also you yourself
will change great deal in both
your outlook on life and on the
type of companions you wish to
spend your time with, in the next
three years. If you think back
about the girls you thought were
tops in the last three years, and
then realize how you feel about
them now, you will see what
mean about changing your view
point on desired qualities for

Well, Kennewick avenue bios
somed out with two more stores
over the weekend. And wonder
full addition to the shopping CEN
ter they are. The more choice
merchandise there is to offer the
public, the more trade will stop
to see. and to buy.
The more shoes the merrier.
For some reason during the war,
the shoe manufacturers seemed
to think peoples feet should
change and they ceased making
some of the wider widths. Maybe
I'm a freak but my feet didn't
get any narrower during the war
And I'm just as uncomfortable
after the war in narrow shoes as
I was during the war. The idea
that putting on shoe that is
two sizes too long, in order to be
wide enough, and expecting me
to be comfortable is deep fall
acy. It just doesn't work. ..

It was a bad break for the
churches with the fishing season
opening on Easter Sunday. If you
must 60 fishing, I suggest you
get up and try out sunrise serv-
ices. Then you can 60 fishing,
even if that is difficult place for
the family to show off their
spring finery. The sunrise serv-
ice is a lovely idea. We hold

Well, the state has fixed Ken

Film Storage Building

Construction of one or more
buildings at Suitland, Md, to
service and store official Govern
ment films has been recommended
to Congress by Federal Works Ad-
ministrator Philip B. Fleming,
with approval of the Budget Bu-
reau.
A proposed bill. submitted by
Maj. Gen. Fleming: was referred
to the Senate Public Works Com
mittee. 1t would authorize an
appropriation of $5,125,00 for the
purpose.
The facilities are needed, Gen.
Fleming said, because current pro-
grams of the Federal Government
are increasing the existing haz-
ards of fire and deterioration" in
current storage places.
At present. the administrator
pointed out. an estimated 450,00O,-
900 feet of record film are being
handled at Archives and other
agencies of the Government.
Much of this film, he charged, is
kept lin totally unsuitable and
inadequate Government installa-
tions and commercial bonded
storage vaults in Washington and

The first new structure will be
constructed to contain 800 vaults
for about 250,O00,OOO feet of film.

yesterday when the Park Police

According to Park Police, Miller
has a record of arrests dating
back to 1885 and apparently was
on parole from a 1888 conviction
for robbery and assault.
Police records show Miller re-
ceived a one to five year sentence
for unauthorized use of an auto
in 1885 and was placed on proba-
ton. In 1888 he was sentenced to
from 18 months to five years on

More Study Is Urged
On How Body Copes
With Radioisotopes

Greater emphasis on how radio
isotopes are absorbed by the body
in order to discover possible harm
ful effects of radioactive mate
fials was urged today by DR..
Charles F. Geschickter, pathology
professor at Georgetown Univer-
sity Medical School.
In an address at the two-day
Eastern Conference of Radiolog-
lists, meeting at the Hotel Statler,
DR.. Geschickter pointed out that
doctors are giving wide attention
to the hope that these radioactive
substances can cure cancer.
But corresponding interest
has not been evident in where
these materials go in the body,
how they are absorbed, what they
do and how long they stay" he de-
clared.
Until these things are known
definitely. he said, doctors must
consider the possibility that the
isotopes may make benign tumors
cancerous and produce other
harmful effects. The pathologist
urged the Atomic Energy Commits
sion as we'll as individual doctors
to put more stress on the problem
of how isotopes are absorbed by
body tissues.
At the opening session yester-
day. the radiologists were told of
a new technique for treating can
Ger of the bladder with radium.
In a four-year study of 13 cases,
II patients have been freed of
bladder cancer through use of the
new Walter Reed technique"
DR.. Milton Friedman, Walter
Reed consultant in radiology, said
only 6 per cent of cases treated
by previous means remained cured
for flve-year periods. He de-
veloped the new method Jointly
with DR.. Lloyd G. Lewis, Wash
ington urologist, who described
the technique.
The technique consists of in
Producing radium into the blad-
der, incased in the tip of a rubber
catheter. By expanding this rub
Der tip, the doctors explained, the
radium inside it can act on the
entire bladder wall, effecting a
much wider area than previously.

are necessary, the doctors said.
