Problems Todoy
Housekeeper
JobOffered,
Small Pay
By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS N1SSEN: AT oz
am about to get q divorce from
my second husband. My first
husband died several years ago
after 20 years Of a wonderful
marriage. My present husband
is much older than I and think
he really married to have some
one to take care of him. I have
been offered a job as housekeeper
for a really elderly man-63 to
be exact. He has promised that
if I continue in the house until
he dies, he'll leave me quite a
bit of money. However, the sal
airy he has offered Is quite small,
barely enough to get along on.
Do you think I should accept the
offer? Mrs. T.
ANSWER: You would be q
very foolish woman to accept this
proposition. You'll be tied down
for goodness knows how many
years at an inadequate wage,
then you'll probably discover that
the promised money has gone to
a distant relative, or a not-so-
gullible friend. It would be far
better for you to get a job with
no strings attached, but at fair
salary. Housekeepers are much
in demand and you'll have little
trouble getting placed. Actually
I can't see where the offered job
is any improvement over the one
you have. At least, if you stay
with your husband you have legal
status and a definite right to
whatever property or money he
has. You've only been married
a year and that just isn't an
adequate adjustment period.
Perhaps your husband did marry
primarily to be cared for, but
what's wrong with that? Taking
care Of an elderly man who gives
you the security of marriage and
looking after a stranger who
bangles promises is a choice with
all the advantages in favor of
the husband-or SO it seems to
me. Give your marriage another
chance and if things don't work
out, at least take a job Offering
the dignity Of living wage.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: I'm en-
gagged to fine young man whose
job involves quite bit of travel
ing. Since he's been away on
the latest trip-which is quite a
long one-I've gone out with an
other boy and I'm afraid I've
fallen for him, though I don't
know whether it's love or in
fatuation. I don't know whether
to break my engagement and
marry suitor No. 2, or whether
I'll get over this heart attack.
CLARICE G.
ANSWER: When doubts asSail
the lovelorn it usually means
that either decision will be the
wrong one. II you marry either
one, the other will Immediately
take on an aura of glamour and
your cry will be. "Oh, if only
had married the other one!" The
best plan is to get a better per-
soective of both. Break your
engagement. confide the diff
Guilty to your f1ance, then see
Row the men compare when
they're on equal footing.

Alaska Spuds Produce
Potato Chips AS Good Or
Better Than Stateside

Potato chips from locally grown
tubers provide a potential market
for Alaskan potato farmers, Cur
It's H. Dearborn, University of AL
aska extension horticulturalist,
said recently.
Clarence Nelson and Earl Stene-
hjen of the Anchorage Potato
Chip Co. work with Dearborn to
test potato varieties. So far the
Kennebec potato is the only COM
mercial variety considered salts
factory for chipping purposes.
Both Arctic Seeding and Knik
varieties are rated low for potato
chips, Dearborn said.
Of the four new varieties avail
able through the Alaska Certified
Seed Growers Association for
commercial production, 114-3 and
47.3 produce chips as good or
better than chips made from
stateside potatoes. The numbered
varieties will be given names soon
SO that homemakers may ask for
them in the stores another year.

KEY TO ECONOMIC ADVANCE

Harley L. Lutz, an authority on taxation recently
made this important contribution to discussions
of revision Of tax system: there has been some
disposition to repeat the ageod but allacious
ment that what is needed is more consumption rather
than investment. This is the issue of static
versus dynamic economy The key to future economic
advance and to the maintenance of employment, pro-
duction, and income, is capital formation''
sound and constructive tax policy must do every
thing within to encourage people to invest their

\ RHEUMATIC FEVER

Rheumatic fever is an infectious
disease most common among chill
dren and young people. The in
lection usually causes inflamma-
ton of the joints and may spread
to other parts of the body. The
heart is especially susceptible.
Bacteria which cause a "strep"
sore throat are involved in the
onslaught of the disease. Rheuma-
tic fever is a product of that ini-
tial infection Streptococcus in

Strep throat can be passed along
to someone else by a cough or
sneeze Even talking in close pro-
ximity with some infected person
can bring on the infection The
tonsils are an excellent breeding
place for these strep bacteria
which soon reach the blood stream
when the tonsil becomes inflam-

offset starting failure or high
way breakdown. And winter oil
and grease plus a set of chains
in the trunk are not enough.
Windshield wipers, brakes, car

spark plugs rate critical inspec-
ton.
Here's a check list for your me-
chanic-or you, if you're the me-
chanical type:
Ignition. Worn parts or faulty
adjustment can result in lot of
trouble including hard starting,
serious loss of power and poor
fuel consumption. If distributor
points are badly pitted, invest in
new ones and install new con-
densor too before it becomes
weak link in the system. Remem-
Der to check all wires; cracked or
worn insulation can cause seri-

If your plugs haven't been serv-
iced in the last 5000 or 1000 miles
have them cleaned; if you've more
than 10000 miles on them, better
replace them. Cleaned or new
plugs help restore engine zip-a
