Arizona sun., 1954-02-12

Dear Miss Ball:
l am % years old and have just
completed my college course which
was interrupted by two years OF
Army service. The CT Bill covered
my tuition and l worked part time.
to take care gof myself. My brother
completed law school. in much the
same way
1 met a very nice girl on the
campus and we were planning to
marry but my family insisted we
wait. They offered to help finance
my course in. medical school if /
did not marry. They feel l should.
have at least $500, in the bank,
clothes to last a, year and a career
we'll started. :. before < considering
marriage. My parents also feel
they have. done lot for US and as
part payment<in return, my broth
er and l should make down pay
ment on a home for them. =
My girl friend feels we should
marry and that since I'll have to
work anyway, we could work to-
gether. She does not feel that my
parents are being fair or that they
want me to marry, but rather that
my mother wants to keep us home.
With my sisters. it was juts the op-
posite. She let them marry while
in college and continued to finance
their course, even to their masters
degrees.
l am torn between my mother
and MY girl. Who is right?
Arnold, Ohio.
Dear Arnold:
Have you decided that you want
to study medicine, or is that just
your parents ambition? If you
want to be a doctor, more power
to you. Since you must work any
way, marriage would be good for
you. From your letter, it seems
your girl really loves you and has
thought through the situation
thoroughly. Recent surveys have
proved that married students are
the better students, and that they
are stable and we'll adjutsed. Be-
sides, at %, you will be older than
most of your classmates, and this
is an age at which a man is nor
mally married.
If you are sure you are in love,
then by all means marry. There
are many scholarships available.
Seek one; then if you two plan
we'll together and you work during
the summer, you will succeed.
The old idea of having a large
bank account has been discarded
in these days of high living costs
and double salaries in the family.
Your parents must take modern
view. Their present one appears
selfish and jealous. 1t would seem
that they should consider the allot-
ments you and your brother sent
home from the Army as adequate
repayment to them. Take a stand
and break away from MONS ZAP
ron strings" otherwise you will end
up a lonely old man. E. B.

each member is requested to re-
port her activities this year to the

Mrs. Agnes Pearce, Vice-presi-
dent and Director of Literature,
gave an interesting summary of
the study-book. THE American
Way. Going back to the very be-
ginning of the awakening of our
country to the need for a temper
ance movement, she quoted say
ings of George Washington, Presi-
dent Thomas jefferson, President
Jackson; Benjamin Franklin,
shrewdest of the founding fathers;
and several other famous states
men some whom according to rec
ords felt that nothing good could
come from the use of SpirituouS
liquors. President Madison, the
real author of the American Con-
stitution was the first signer of
The Presidential Declaration"
which read as follows:
Being satisfied from observa-
ton and experience, as well as
from medical testimony, that ar
dent spirits as a drink is not only
needless but harmful, and that the
entire disuse of it would tend to
promote the health, the virtue, and
the happiness of the community,
we hereby express our conviction
that, should the citizens of the
United States, and especially all
young men, discontinue entirely
the use of it, they would not only
promote their own personal bene-
fit but the good of the country and
the world.
