How much alcohol can be con-
sumed before the imbiber Il
legally drunk?
The logical answer would seem
to be: 1T depends. For it is
w ell-understood phenomenon
that some people can quaR quite
a bit of ale with no apparent
effect, while others go reelinr
upon little more than the sniff
Of q cork.
But an increasing number Of
jurisdictions are arriving al
what they conceive to be a scien.
tific formula for determining
drunkenness.
The magic gauge is OILS PEI
cent.
Well over a third Of the Statei
have now established by status
that If blood tests made upor
individuals believed to be DRUM
show that alcohol present in thu
blood amounts to OILS per cen
or more by weight, a legal pre-
sumption Of intoxication arises
Where did the OILS per cen
come from?
That figure was arrived at b!
scientists who presented thei
findings to the American Medl
cal Association, the American
IBar Association and the Ameri
can Safety Council. All threl
groups approved the findings
and experts in the field indicatI
that they set up a reasonabl,
liberal standard. In other words
lit takes a fair amount Of drink
ling to get the blood alcohol con
tent up to OILS per cent.
Nevertheless, these, laws, whicl
are aimed primarily at train
safety, have been and are bein
fought at every turn. The Ques

Thus far ID appears that the

Of the courts.

after a citizen arrested under it
argued that the law conflicted
with the established principle
that a defendant is innocent
until proved guilty. How. he
wanted to know, could he be pre-

and intoxicated at the same
time?
1t was a good question. But
the Arizona court pointed out
that the statutory presumption
of intoxication created by the
results Of the blood test is a re-
buttable one; i.e.. it's not in

THE DETAILS

Lucy-I am engaged to be
married. but I have learned that
the man who has been telling
me how much he loves me has
been behaving promiscuously
with other women. I am 4
prude and I could understand
his running around if we were
mot engaged to be married.
When I confronted him with
what ! had learned, he not only
admitted it, but argued that he
had a right to do what he was
doing as long as we were not yet
married.
I have pinned all my hopes
for the future on being his wife
and rearing a family with him.
I will be heartbroken if I have
to give him up but / can't
endure the thought Of his not
only being unfaithful to me but
even arguing that it is his right.
Frank have been indiscreet
or I would not have been found
out, and I probably have been
very stupid in speaking frankly
about this to Lucy. I believe it
is mostly her fault.
| / was eager to marry her two
years ago, but she put me of
for one reason or another, plac-
| ing consideration for other
people and her convenience
above my wishes.
1t may be shocking to Lucy,
and perhaps it would be to many
people, but / do not believe in
celibacy at my age. 1 do not feel
that I am being unfaithful, be-
cause / do not have any feeling
of romantic attachment or love
for anyone but Lucy, and she has
no rivals. I want her to be the
mother of my children and to
run my home, but if I have to
accept her terms and her time,
I feel I have a right to some
things on my own.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Two wrongs don't make this
Situation right. A girl should not
expect man to wait years fol
marriage if he is able to provide
a home and eager to do so.
Franks solution Of the prob
lem created by Lucy's unreason-
ably long engagement hardly
provides a good basis for future
trust and happiness. A great deal
of damage has already been done
to the planned marriage, and
these twolpeople should now be
completely honest with each
other If they are to have any
chance for happiness together
Franks disposition to feel
sorry for himself and blame
Lucy alone for his transgres-
Isions is an attitude that Il
hardly compatible with a whole
some marriage; on the other
hand. there is a germ of truth
lin his complaint.
It will not be an easy matter
for these two people to forgive
leach other completely and to
start afresh; indeed, it is doubt
lful If they can achieve such q
state of mind.
If Frank really believes he il
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-19

entitled to stray every time he
has an unsatisfied urge. then he
is not a desirable husband. And
If Lucy is the kind of person
who will turn resentment over
this matter upon him at every
disagreement in the future. then
she will not be a good wife fdl'
him.
The damage that has been
done must be wholly or at least
substantially repaired by mutual
forgiveness, or this couple should
part from each other.

BY THOMAS COLLINS

From one Of the popular re-
tirement areas of America, an
area Of oranges. sunshine and
pensions, comes a bit Of retire
ment wisdom.
To you not yet retired and to-
you who now live in such areas,
1t may be valuable.
The wisdom comes from Frank
w. Nichols. 81, a retired public
utility ofiicial who has q retire
ment income of $3.50 a month.
He has three children-a mar
ried son living in New York
State, an unmarried daughter
working in Chicago. and a mar
ried daughter in Missouri. He
and his wife are living in an at
tractive four-room stucco house,
have some beautiful flowers, a
fair lawn, a 1853 car, and a COM
Portable life.
81 believe" Mr.. Nichols says.
"that / have the sort Of good
retirement life you see in the
insurance ads in the magazines
and that they picture In the
house organs in the Office back
home. 1t is slice of the
American Dream. the freedom.
the fish and the fulfillment that
come to those who work until
65 and keep their ears clean.
All around me are other for
tunate people who have about
what my wife and I have. We
are the privileged class Of re-
tired America.
Not Enough
"Yet what we have is not
quite enough.
Sunshine and oranges, free
dom and fish, laughing and loaf
ing are not sufficient-in them
selves-for the Golden Years.
They are a magnificent frame.
But they are Just a frame.
after spending 90 months of
my retirement here, have come
to understand that retirement is
doing something. Doing some
thing that is important.
During these % months my
neighbors and / have mostly been
toads on a log. We putter. We
don't admit it. We try to hide
1t from neighbors and the people
back home. But we putter.
ION q typical day this is the
sort Of thing that can happen:
You wake up early, get up slowly,
go through breakfast indiffer-
entity, then look around for some
thing to do. You go on an errand
to the store. You wait for the
mailman. You go for a walk.
You fuss around the yard. And
all the while. both you and the
retired fellow down the street,
who is doing the same nothing,
are trying to shield the situation
from each other"
Now, Mr.. Nichols suggests the
thing to do is to recognize the
problem, then go on from there.
Work Important
"That's what I'm doing now.
I'm going to hold to the sunshine.
Nobody can convince me ever
that Ohio snow is better. And I'm
going TO find something reason
ably important to do.

MISS SURLES' DEBUT
Her Flowers Were From
President, His Family

It isn't every debutante that
will have such a special mo-
mento Of her party-namely a
bouquet from the President
and Mrs. Eisenhower.
This is the case, however,
for Miss Barbara Surles who
was presented to her grand
parents and parents friends
yesterday.
She carried a small nosegay
Of red rosebuds circled with
lacy paper. The package
came wrapped with a picture
Of the White House and the
card inside which will be kept
for many years was handwrit-
ten. The roses were from
President and Mrs. Eisenhower
and Mrs. Doud. Mrs. Doud is
Mrs. Eisenhower'S mother.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wilmer Joyce

latter's gra n ddaughter. 1t
was a $50 to 1880 At Home
at the Walters spacious Co

Surles is the daughter of Col.
and Mrs. Alexander Day
Surles, jr.
The party was a farewell
for the Surles as well as an
early debut for Barbara. The
whole family is leaving the
first Of the year for Honolulu
where Col. Surles will be Chief
of Staff of the Hawaiian Com
nand.
It was for this reason Mrs.
Waller decided to have the
party now. Barbara, a senior
at st. Agnes School. really
would make her debut next
year, but since she will be
gone for about three years
this would be impossible.
Forming the receiving line
were Mr.. and Mrs. Waller. Col
