These Women:
Love Begins At
Forty - Or Does 1t?
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer

There is considerable talk-one
might almost say propaganda
about how mistaken we all are in
assuming that life stops abruptly
around the 10th birthday.
The opinion, however, is held in
some pretty important places-like
employers who want to hire new
hands. Almost any want-ad sec
tion you read is studded with job
notations bearing are require
ments, most of which place 35 as
the maximum. A Mr.. Pitkin wrote
book about life beginning at 40
which several years ago put a
little fire into the idea that wisdom
and experience counted for some
thing too.
But no one seems to have done
much to disabuse the general pub
lie of the idea that, there can be
fun, even glamor, on the long side
of the 40th birthday. And for this
little notion, / think we can thank
heartily not only the movies but
our popular fiction magazines.
Miss Isobel Moore, who writes
stories and sells them to these
aforementioned magazines, came
right out on a radio broadcast l
happened to be listening to one
day and admitted there was a mag
azine cabal against permitting any
1 female of such advanced years be-
coming, of all things, heroine.
eff you want to sell your story,
said Miss Moore with some bitter
ness, you have to keep your hero
inc under 40, and she must be slim
oh, she might have a few gray
hairs, but only very few"
This situation, she continued, Of
fers some pretty problems to au-
thors who have evolved plot about
married woman (the heroine)
who has adult children. This plot

ours in magazines, just to break uI
the monotony of a steady diet ot

Bonn SOlOns To Have
Own Restaurant

BONN. Germany -(P)- One of
Europe's ritziest restaurants is
rising here on the green banks of
the Rhine just for the new West
German parliament. You'll have to
get elected to parliament-or know
one of its members-to dine in it.
Public and press will be banned
so the parliamentary deputies
can at least get some rest while
they are eating" says Manager
Paul la Roche. The east side of
the restaurant, facing the Rhine,
is built entirely of glass. Ensconc-
ed in green leather chairs, deput-
les can gaze across a poplar-stud-
ded terrace at the storied Rhine
river.
Newsmen assigned to cover the
new parliament will get spacious
establishment all their own. Sever
al two story buildings with sound
proof rooms are going up near the
parliament building just for the
press. Newsmen also will have a
special restaurant for their use.

Cantaloupe Variety
Tests Reported From
Substati0n

In a test of over 10e varieties of
cantaloupes-som varfties which
came from as far away places as
Korea, India, Egypt and Iran-re-
search horticulturists of the Uni
versity Of Delaware Agricultural
experiment station, rate a variety
from Florida named as Smiths
perfect as outstanding. 1t has been
given this rating because of it's
quality and resistance to downy
mildew.
These variety tests, conducted at
the University's Agricultural Sub
station near Georgetown this sea-
son, were for the purpose of find
ing varieties resistant to downy
mildew and which could also be
used for future breeding investi-
cations.
e. M. Rain, of the department of
horticulture, describes the Smiths
Perfect variety as one which is al
being grown to some extent in
Florida and says that seed Is avail
able there. He says that the canta-
loup is extremely sweet and flaw
orsome. Melons of this variety pick
ed at random and tested for sugar
content scored 1412l9o sugar. The
Delaware state law requires a min
imun of SO.
Compared to other varities Smith
perfect was much more resistant to
downy mildew. It's resistance was
much greater than that of Texas
Resistant No. variety which rat
es considerably higher than vari.
cites now grown locally.
The Smith perfect variety is not
as closely netted as most varities
and this characteristic may handi
cap it for our markets where con
sumers generally prefer netteC
fruit.
Because of its other character
istics, however it is suggested tina
growers make a trial planting o
this variety next year compare it
qualities and resistance with varit
| les ow being raised.

though Manager McGraw of the

Hunters Warned
To Avert Deaths

In an attempt to curb the some
1000 hunting accidents that oc-
cur during the fall seasons each
year, the New England Outdoor
Writers Association conducted a
recent exhaustive study of such
accidents in the United States and
Canada.
The investigation revealed that
deer and big game hunting ac-
counted for most of the accidents,
followed by rabbits, upland birds
and duck hunting in that order.
Resident hunters caused 95 per
cent of the casualties. The most
frequent cause of hunting acci-
dents is "person mistaken for
game" number two was mot
knowing the gun was loaded" and
the third was carrying a loaded
gun in the car" Hunting with
the safety off and position of the
hunter tied for fourth place. Fol-
lowing along in order was heavy
concentration of hunters, faulty or
obsolete firearms, mental incom-
petence, poor visibility, falling
with loaded gun, deceptive cloth
ing, faulty eyesight, and last
place goes to "under the influence
of alcohol"
Here in Ohio, hunting accidents
for many years have been few
considering that nearly a million
hunters are in the field sometime
during the season.
