manltarlan reason is offered bv
writers who claim that the mar
rage was originally ordained to
provide a place for the childless
widow in the family. Indeed a
widow, especially when she is left
chlldless, is tragically lost with
out coincidence. It was certainly
an instance of the close ties of
Jewish family life to provide a
source of hope and a future for a
widow in commanding the hus-
bands brother to marry her.
The famous "Sefer Hachinuch"
offers yet another interesting
reason. The latter claims that a
married woman is like a part of
her husband, tracing this claim
back to the early story of Genesis
where Eve is taken from one of
Adams ribs. Thus, the widow, a
part of her late husband, is joined
by levirate marriage with his
brother, who is also part of his
late brother and a seed is estab-
lished to develop into an off
spring which shall continue the
memory of the deceased.

DEAR MISS DIX: This is a
plea from one who has not been
allowed to mature socially. My
parents have done much to full
fill my desire for knowledge, but
have not realized my need for
human relationships. I have
never been permitted to do the
things that other youngsters do,
or to have any intimate associa-
tion with boys and girls Of my own
age.
have never even had a girl
friend, and as the result I lack
knowledge Of life and emotional
control. My parents consider that
I am a reincarnation of their
youth and that I want to do only
the things that they used to do
when they were young. am ex-
pected to fall in with this plan as
If were q baby. How can I make
them understand that a girl of 10
has some right to make decisions
for herself and to have her chance
at life?
T. S. B.
Answer: There is no problem
harder to solve than that Of the
children who are enslaved by pos
Sessive parents. because the pa
rents are so unalterably sure that
they are right and that they are

Occasionally ragged electric wire sets

Such flaws are caused not only by

saving branches.
Fortunately, the birds do not do much
damage, in this respect.
Despite the fact that there are thou
sands of times more birds than squirrels.
the flyers do relatively little harm, for
their claws are made for grasping rather
than cutting.
That is why they are able to perch on

the protection of the future of Christian democ-

manned adequately, they are certain to fall
before the onslaughts of aggressive materialism-

neglect. The consequences of any decline OF
religion would be tragic beyond words. We need

we never have needed them before.

commonplace in Washington suburbs,
the excitement dies, but still there is
lingering doubt.
1t is that first time-after that, the
sight no longer excites, but it remains
interesting.
Squirrels cause these cuts when, now
and then, they lose their balance.
About once every 20 feet, according
to our observation, even the best furry
tight-rope walker loses his equilibrium.
Then he turns completely upside
down, hangs on for a few seconds. and
rights himself.
The claws are sharp, and dig in as
the animal twirls around.
No wonder they do some damage, un-
seen by the human eye from below.
This damage is something the phone
company has to contend against. There
is also harm from rubbing branches.
Blocks of wood, affixed over the wires,
tend to prevent damage from saving
branches.
If squirrels put phone out of COM
mission. it shows that the wire leading
into the house is rather old.
Newer wires do not suffer, apparently.
Fortunately, squirrels do not chew
wiring. If they did, the company really
would have something to contend with.
