Problems Todoy
By Muriel Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
story is q long one, but perhaps
you can condense it for publi-
cation. I was married IA years
ago, at the age of 16. We had
two children, and were reason
ably happy for three years. Then
my husband began drinking,
gambling and dating other
women. We separated, later were
divorced. My mother took care
of my babies while I worked.
Then I remarried-to man Of
far less character than my first
husband. We had two children
before he left me for another
woman. At that point, there just
didn't seem to be any future for
me. My mother, Of course, was a
tremendous help. I worked hard,
but was almost a nervous wreck.
I became so thin that I looked
like a walking skeleton. Then my
first husband, who had mean
while enlisted in the Army, got
in touch with me. He was a
completely changed man-no
more drinking, no more gam
bling-just sincere devotion to
me and the children. Incl
dentally. he loves the two that
aren't his as much as his own.
So we remarked and have been
completely happy. Now to the
problem. He is being stationed
about 1000 miles from here and
wants me to go with him, taking
the children. Of course. My
mother objects, and since she has
been so good to me I feel ] do
owe her consideration. She wants
me to continue staying with her,
as I did before my marriage. My
heart tells me to go with my hus-
band; my conscience tells me to
stay with my mother. Which is
right?
ANSWER: Your mother has
indeed been good to you. but
your place is with your husband.
You have had IA years of trou-
bled existence most Of which
had to omit, since your letter
was very long-and now you
have achieved what appears to
be complete happiness for your
self an6 your family. If you
fail your man this time. you
may not have another chance.
Your mother should be thankful
to see you settled at last. She
should encourage you to do
everything possible to maintain
your life as it is. Both you
and your husband have shown.

Why Grow Old?

the expectation that the Jews of
America will eventually cease
their gifts to Israel and that the
country can then be strangled

The speaker also asserted that
no nation would dare to perse-

knew there was a strong Jewish
state to intercede in their behalf.

to life. Even your best friend

Poor mouth hygiene can cause

teeth, the result may well be an
unpleasant breath. Diseased or
decayed teeth may also be a
cause.
Infected tonsils or Sinuses can
