attracted our attention, and, we believe, deserves further
comment.
MR. NC EVITT says, in effect that the several memo
randa which DR. Anduze sent to the Governor went urnoticed
at least to the extent that they were not even answered In
fact, this was clearly implied in DR.. Anduzes letter Of resig-
nation.
THIS TYPE OF thing IS ordinarily not. called to public
attention, or taken up seriously, but it has seemed to become
! pattern Of the last two Administrations And while it is true
that Governor Gordon is in no way responsible tor what his
predecessor lid nevertheless, there should be a serious effort
not to take up where the former left off, OF to fail to correct
acts which are in general not in good taste.
Il will Be remembered that former Governor Alexander
paid little or no attention to correspondence. and many a
communication went without even the courtesy Of acEnoW-
Judgement. The What House, busy as it is, never allows a
letter to 20 unnoticed, be it consequential or not. After all,
in a democracy, citizens have the right to let their leaders
know what they think, and the only way these leaders have
Of letting the people know that letters were received is to
answer them.
ON THE MAINLAND the Democrats are accusing the
administration Of being one of big business Of not concern
ing itself. with the little folks. That accusation might find
merit in these Islands if the executive violates one Of the.
cardinal principles Of good public office and relations-that
Of recognizing correspondence.
IT Is AMAZING to US why a man Of the experience Of
the Governor should become SO engrossed in his job that he
fails to take advantage of such a little, yet highly welcome
aspect Of good government. Politicians are happy when they
receive letters. 1t lets them know that people are thinking

have apparently worked in
equities among the four; so the
executrix objected, claiming that
since the phrase was merely a
request and not a command she
was entitled to equal remunera-
ton. She won her point with the
judge. but only after much fuss.
Of course. this kind Of thing
can work in reverse. That is,
executors sometimes interpret
will provisions as merely requests
although the courts later con-
strue them as commands.
Tied Up Inheritance
Such a predicament apparent
ly was at the base Of recent
legal action in which Chicago
Judge George M. Fisher tied UP
the $l2 million inheritance of
heiress Mollie Bragno. The rea-
son was that previous executor
had either ignored or misinter-
preted the will controlling the
estate BY failing to sell a depart
ment store at a specified time.
Either extreme can usually be
avoided BY using precise to-the-
point phrasing, the meaning OF
which is as singular as possible.

Don D.-"My wife and / come
from a small town and met at a
small college. My wife was always
very shy and. in general, socially
backward. 1t didn't matter much
at that time. I thought her shy
ness was cute and we didn't have
to do much socializing anyway.
Nov, however, I am connected
with a large firm and have a
promising career as an executive
We have three children and live
in a suburban community where
there is lots of entertaining.
II find that I enjoy socializing
very much. This is nice crowd
and I can form excellent business
contacts among them. But Sue
makes it very difficult.
She doesn't like to entertain
She says she can never be friends
with these people. She doesn't
dress or act in the right way to
fit in with them. She just doesn't
want to become sophisticated. +"
Sue W.-"Don seems to have
forgotten the time when we used
to agree about the kind of people
he now admires. We called them
"phonieS" then - not Sophisti-
Gated. Don does not realize that
in accepting these people, he re-
jects the people who do not fit
in with them.
There was a time, too, when
Don agreed with me about such
things as married people flirting
around and too much drinking
lat parties. We thought such
things were pretty contemplate.
He doesn't seem to object any
longer and does far too much
drinking himself.
Maybe I'm just a small town
girl, but l can't be happy here.
/ don't want to bring up my chill
Idren in this community. I feel
we should get out and make a
new start elsewhere. l think this
is more important than business
considerations"
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Don and Sue have indeed
grown far apart and each is in
some measure to blame.
I Don's criticism of his wife's
lack of social sophistication can
only make her feel more left
out and i'll at ease. Sues re-
fusal to bulge an inch from the
point of view she held as a
young girl and to undertake the
responsibilities of the wife of q
rising business executive drives
Don to try to make an even
stronger effort to At in with the
crowd.
Sues solution is rather I'M
realistic. Don has the respon-
sibility of earning living fol
his family. He cannot blithely
pull up stakes and start from
scratch elsewhere.
Besides, he must take the job
for which he is qualified. In
another community he will
probably find himself among
similar people, in a similar
social setting.
Sue must realize that she is
viewing this crowd" from a dis
lance with the maximum OF
hostility. She ought to try to
get to know some of the in
dividuals in the crowd. She'll
probably find many who share
her values.

she is exaggerating the amount

goes on. In any case, she is
