By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

| One of the wonders that eter-
nally beset me as I study family
life is that in-laws so often fail
to mind their own business. What
a blessing intelligent in-laws can
be to young couple, the sort of
in-laws who are ready with help
and advice when it is asked for
and needed, but who keep their
noses out of new homes otherwise! |!
! have a letter from a frantic
young mother who is being be-
deviled by her husbands mother.
All that has happened to this new
wife is that she's had a baby,
could use some guidance in ham
ding it preferably from her own
mother), but otherwise wants to
be let alone to enjoy the expert
ence. Here's how Mrs. E. describes
her plight:
"I've been happily married for
a year and a half and have a baby
6 weeks old. Of course, I could
use little information now and
then, since the schools seems to
take it for granted that every girl
will die an old maid-at least
they give us no help for the jobs
we're actually going to, meet. I
think I have sense enough to ask
for help when I need it, and I
would naturally turn to my own
mother for the purpose-but my
husbands mother doesn't give me
a chance. She keeps the tele-
phone busy all the time!" The
conversation (somewhat one
sidedD goes like this, to summar-
ize Mrs. Els lengthy account:
"A little breeze is coming up
outside-are you sure Junior isn't
in a draft?"
"Have you given Junior his bath

vet? Be sure to use no water
just OIL"
How long since you have
changed Junior? A baby's always
more comfortable when he's dry. y
BE sure to put Junior outside
to sleep this morning-it's a beau
tiful day."
Don't feed Junior too much.
Last time was there I noticed
he didn't take half his bottle,
Remember his little stomach is so
tiny,
Mrs. E. continues, when I hear
this five or six times a day, can
you blame me for wanting to
blow up? She even comes to the
house when we're away (she has
Ia key and sends our clothes to
her own laundry-as if I couldn't
even wash clothes! don't want
to hurt her feelings, but I Just
can't take this much longer; but
how can put stop to it?"
Turn the job over to your hus-
band. It's his mother who is
causing the trouble. He should
explain the situation to her, kindly
but firmly, and insist that she use
a little more sense. She'll pout for
a while. but will come around.
All smart grandmothers do.
Let's have some understanding
for this grandmother. This is an
exciting event for all women in
her position, but their excitement
gets out of hand when they
haven't enough to occupy them
selves. I'm printing your letter,
Mrs. E., largely for the benefit of
all grandmothers who may be
tempted to let their enthusiasm
turn them into nuisances.
This grandma. I think, needs
to reOrganiZe her life S0mewhot

Council leurns--
Continued from paFc l

When detailed reeommcnda- tons from inc City Planning Commission regarding parking on Palmer streets were read Coun cilmcn and City Clerk William Head joined in a criticism uf the commission for getting the cart before the horse"
 Don't they know we can't do anything on the streets of Pal mer until we get that map they're supposed to be working on?' one of them asked.
 Several weeks ago the Council had appropriated $500 authorlz- ing the planning commission to % ahead m the preparation of 8 map that would describe all known boundaries within the city and to describe them. The headline was April IS.
 Head pointed out the urgent need for a city map with deScrlp- tionS of meets, bounds, and ownership in order to get ease mentS and deeds to the streets of Palmer for the city. Four months ago, Head stated, R. C. Caldwell of Thomas B. Bourne and Associ- ates had indicated the serious necessity of getting this work done so the city could acquire ownership or easements for city streets before the water distri- button system could be put in.
 Until we do this Head said, we have no control over the streets of Palmer. We don't even have the authority to dig a trench"
 By implication Head was tell ing the Council that any day they might get wire from Don Will son, similar to the wire received yesterday, in which he would ask for immediate assurance that the city had ownership of its streets. It is believed that there will be no trouble with plated subdi- 1 visions such as the ARRC's, but figuring out the boundaries ot streets in unplatted areas will be a difficult chore.
 The City Clerk reported that S5050 had been received from the Territory on refunds from liquor licenses granted in Palmer. lie reported a balance in the city account of $12,403.43 with the
