parent reason because disease
or malfunction can cause this.
Now look at the plan of
your daily life. Do you rush
all day long once you are out
of bed? This one factor can
give you that tired feeling.
Hurry is one of the most usual
reasons for fatigue and one
which is most often overlooked.
You may find that even a little
less sleep in the morning is
better than that mad dash to
get to work.
1t may be that you are try
ing to do too many things or
that you organize badly. If
you add new activities to your
life cut out some of the old
ones. You must unload if you
keep piling on or fatigue will
get you. Take your house
keeping a little less seriously.
Take life a little easier. You
cannot enjoy it if you are rid

Report on Joliet
r. W., Arlington


For C. F. alexandria, as
requested in the issue Of De-
cember l8;
Joliet, III. has good public
schools. The population is
predominantly Catholic, and
the parochial schools are very
good also, running all the way
through high school and even
a girls college. Apartments are
scarce and not too modern. !
don't know about rental hous-
ing, but believe it is rather
scarce also. Most people in
Joliet own their own homes.
The city is divided by a large
canal, with an East Side and
West Side. The West Side is
considered more choice as a
residential district. I would
say the cost of living is ap-
proximately the same as it
is here, With perhaps rent pe1ng
higher in respect to what you
get here for the money. Joliet
is much dirtier, because of the
steel mills, railroads and other
industries located there. Cur
tains and the like need laun-
dering much more often. The
population is largely of foreign
extraction, engaged as laborers
in the mills and factories. The
stores cater to this class of
worker, but since Chicago is
only an hour away you can
shop there for most items. The
Chicago stores all deliver mer-
chandise to Joliet. Public
transportation is very poor.
and a car is a must. Bus and
train service is frequent and
good. For further information,
you may reach me through this
column.

Annual Play
AT Child Center

When 10 volunteer helpers
pitch in and join a paint-it-
yourself project you know
something's up.
The new look" they gave
the Brookland Child Center
helped to set the stage for the
center's annual play and
Christmas party which took
place today at IL am. The
play entitled "A Match Girls
Dream" included scenes of the
Nativity.
A nonprofit undertaking the
Brookland Child Center in
Berwyn Heights, Md. teaches
children who have special
needs. 1t is directed by Miss
Dorothy Anne Doyle.
The party was sponsored by
H. E. L. P. (Help Exceptional
Little People, a group that
works for retarded children.

Dear DR.. Popenoe:

Dear DR.. Popenoe:
am beginning to believe
that columns like yours do
harm. especially to unmarried
persons. and particularly to
older men and women. You
are continually advising mar
riage and telling women to go
where men are and explain
ing to them how they can make
themselves attractive and win
a man. The result is that a lot
of older men become afraid to
talk to an unmarried woman
because they take it for
granted that she is out to get a
husband.
II am a widow and have al
ways liked men. A brief mar
riage at the age of 20 gave me
immunity for the future.
Since then, my interest in men
and their affairs is simply
friendly. / have a good job

work because they can usually
talk Interestingly about what
has made them successful. I
like professional men. especially
physicians, because they have
so many interesting expert
ences. For a deep friendship !
would enjoy meeting a man
who is gentle, quiet. kindly and
generous. A man who enjoys
books. music. flowers, children,
and animals, is interested in
current topics and likes to dis
cuss them.

that men of my own age or a
