Plan Now to Enjoy Life
When Children Are Gone

Icompanionship, of having fun and
doing things together. Many cou-
piles think, when the children
are grown and we do not have
that responsibility we will have
fun" When the time comes they
find themselves somewhat awk-
ward and it isn't so much fun.
The wife may be having memo
pause, which doesn't help matters,
and the husband may be lost be-
cause of the emptiness and quiet
ness of the home and also because
of retirement.
If you are parents. begin now
the habit of doing some things
together without the children. Plan
evenings out together and short
trips if you cannot take longer
ones. 1t is usually possible to ar
range with a friend or relative to
care for the small fry, for a return
of favors.
Keep the feeling of your mar
riage fresh and alive and begin
letting go of your children emo
tionally long before Shey leave
home. Begin interesting new &C
tivities and develop hobbies az
soon as they are all Of school age.
These measures will pad the shock
of their loss and will allow middle
and later years to be real fun.
Evening star., 1952-12-12
By Josephine Lowmon

Middle age often is a time oi
Illustration when it should be one
of the most pleasant times of life
One of the main reasons for this
lis the failure of parents to realize
that their children are only leased
to them for a few short years. If
the parents live normal life span,
they will be alone again when they
are in the prime of life, after their
children grow up and leave home.
Many marriages break up after
the offspring go out into the world.
Sometimes this is due to the fact
that the children we're the only
bond between the husband and
wife. The parents had lived for
and through their children and
had lost sight of their marriage.
However. there are many essen
TALLY fine marriages which go on
the rocks at this time simply be-
cause the husband and wife had
not prepared for this period. They
had put the children first always
rather than making a habit of
putting themselves first part of
the time.
After years Of this it is impos-
sible to recapture the old habit of

Marquette Heights just a few
months ago. I'm not sure ex-
actly what you want to know
but I shall tell you a few details.
If I leave out anything you can
write me through RCH.
First of all, Marquette Heights
is not a city but instead a hous-
ing development. There are 472
families in the area. There are
no apartments, only individual
three-bedroom homes which can
be rented or purchased. All
homes have radiant heated
floors which we found wonder
full for small children VINO seem
to spend most of their time on
the floor. We did have a wool
pad and rug in the living room
and didn't find it cut down on
the heat whole lot. Some, per-
haps, but not enough to really
make difference.
Marquette Heights (at the
time we were there) had its own
police and volunteer fire de-
partments and a small shopping
center market, post office
and gift shop. There are sew

Your Gift
Can Look

By EIeni

The gifts one selects for friends
at Christmastime should reflect
some thought on the part of the
giver
Something different is always
sought. Yet sometimes a dupli-
cate or a gift of similar item
used frequently during the year
and which has become worn with
use is enjoyed frequently as much.
In this category fall gloves,
compacts. jewelry and handbags.
And somehow a pretty umbrella
is always a welcome gift, either
coming as a replacement for a
lost one or as a special gift thought
when it is as pretty as our pic
tured Italian silk slim umbrella.
Our gift roundup" items are
from a leading F street gift shop.

When Earth's last picture is painted,
And the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors are faded. and
The. youngest critic has died.
We shall rest, and faith. we shall need It
,, Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of all Good Workmen shall
Set US to work anew!
And those that were good shall be happy;
They shall sit in golden chair:
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas
With brushes of cameps hair:
They shall find real saints to draw from
Magdalene. Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
And never grow tired at ALL
And only the Master shall praise us.
And only the Master shall blame:
And no one shall work for money, and no
One shall work for fame;
But each for the JOY of the working. and
Each in his separate star
Shall draw the Thing as he, sees 1t.
The God of things as they are!

WINDOW BOX.
I'M. McB., Washington

To the woman who wished to
have her window box of coleuses
to harmonic with its surround
ings: I knew of a woman who
tired of going all over the house
to care for her flowers, being so
careful not to spill water on
polished furniture and picking
up fallen leaves.
She decided to consolidate
her plants into one group: her
husband made an open-front
cabinet to fit under the window
she had chosen and a metal
worker was given an order to
make a water-t tight box to fit
the top of the cabinet. The
ends of the cabinet were finished
to match the woodwork, the in
side of the cabinet and outside
of the metal box were painted in
one of the brighter shades of
her draperies (chartreuse). In
side the box she placed two rows
of potted plants. mostly gera-
niums, which she wrote were al
ways in bloom and much ad-
mired by her guests.
Some writer's advise placing
an indoor window box with the
bottom flush with the sill so
that the sun may warm the soil:
but am sure the coleuses, with
sunshine on plants only, will
make vivid mass. Last winter
I had some coleuses merely in
water and set close to the Win- /
dow glass; they, were SO color
full that the neighhor in the
next house told me she wor1-
dered what flower was blooming
so brightly in my window.

was beginning to be satisfied for those who had the
money. Then, bang, came Korea! War scares and
talk of shortages prompted a mad rush of scare
buying. According to a recent sampling study of
about 10000 families by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tstics, good cross section of population, from
almost hun0red large cities to small towns, the
1850 buyers upper mddle-class families with
a net income, after taxes of about $4,000 But their
spending spree put them in the red to the tune of
$4OO that year!
Keep in mind that these were people with net
earnings of $4,3OO-an appreciabe cut above the
average worker with gross earnings of $4,000 Even
so, they not only had to dip into savings but into
the hole for the purchases they made. Why did
they spend? Their wants were spawned primarily
by war hysteria and cries of shortages. There were
those who were afraid that if they waited they
wouldn't be able to buy that new car, or washer or
suit of clothes; that if they did wait prices would
skyrocket. In other words many of these people
had their hands forced by fear
PRICING YOURSELF OUT OF THE MARKET
Sales managers can talk all they want to about
the need to sell and sell hard but if the consumer
can't afford the price tag, how is he going to buy?
We've watched the recent potato fasco change the
dietary habits of a number of people Potato sales
still haven't fully recovered while the sales of rice

companies raise fares too fast they lost 1919 of their

Whatever happened to natural rubber-and but

question explains why the auomoive industry is in
the peculiar economic paradox of having both a
shortage of cars and a shortage of BUYERS The his
