Turnobout

I was not particularly interested ir
"Bewildered Bachelors" complaint, nor
in the replies to it. I am too old to
complain of my failure to get the
woman I want to accept me either as
husband or friend. The subject under
discussion, however, gives me an oppor-
tunity to say something related to it.
In these days of women's economic
emancipation, when many of them get
larger salaries than men, they should
pay their own expenses when accom-
panied by male escorts. The custom
which compels escorts to pay the ex-
penses of unmarried women adds up
to a gigantic steal perpetrated upon
men by women. The alimony racket is
another injustice which women inf1ict
upon men.
Nothing is too good for the worthy
mothers who bring us into the world
and there is no denying that worthy
mothers and wives deserve support,
with proper safeguards for the husband
from the alimony racket and other in
justices. But in our society. where
women already own around 80 per cent
of the wealth, my proposition should
be openly faced.

1t Helps to Be Paid

In The Star of March 8, there was
an article quoting Lady Astor as saying:
THE reason so many people go to psy-
chiatrists and psychoanalysts is because
they like to talk about themselves. And
there is nothing more boring"
Granted! I should like to say, how
ever, that these people do pay. and very
generously. for the privilege of boring
the poor old psychoanalyst. Millions OF
so-called normal individuals. on the
other hand, talk quite as incessantiy
about themselves to any one who can
be cornered, with no chance of escape,
and never think of offering a penny's
compensation.

New All-High Marks
Attendance At Parks

Arthur Day, Parks Management
Supervisor of the Ohio Division
of Parks, has announced that the
use of state park areas this year
has been considerably heavier
than last year.
Figures gathered by the Parks
Division through June 80 show
that more than $3,500,000 persons
have used the parks, excluding
the state lakes, such as Indian,
Loramie, Buckeye, Portage and
st. MaryS. Census at these lakes
includes permanent residents and
therefore is not included in the
overall total.
Day states that in view of the
extremely good weather enjoyed
through the months of July and
August, the total figures for the
fiscal year of 1851 could well set
new all time high of attendance
at Ohio'S parks.
