Laura-My husband, Paul, has
been drifting into a situation
that is causing me great embar-
rassment and concern, but he
refuses to admit that l have any
cause for complaint.
Several years ago we became
friendly with another family
that had recently moved into
our neighborhood. We all
seemed to hit it off well, made a
number of brief vacation trips
together and soon fitted into
each others social circle.
I thought the two women and
the two men would be close
friends. but I was not at all
prepared for the turn that this
relationship appears to have
taken. Gradually, 1 found that
my husband was doing little err
rands for the other woman, such
as helping her with some garden
problems, while she was giving
my husband lifts in her car.
I am not jealous, because
know that my husband and this
woman have real interests in
common that would draw them
together, such as gardening and
stamp collecting. What bothers
me most is that people are talk
ing, and even saying things to
me.
My husband resents any Sug-
gestionS that I am embarrassed.
He simply says he has never
been a conventional person and
that his and my friends know
him too well to suspect him.
feel this has gone so far as to
destroy my social life and that
it may reach tragic proportions,
but my husband acts as if am
the only person being unrea-
Sonable.
Paul-My wife has suddenly
turned conventional and small
town on me. She has known

II you look back in history
you will find that man has been
exposed to tension through the
ages. We speak of our wars, the
menace of the hydrogen bomb,
depressions and the battle for
economic survival as if only this
generation has had to live
through such tension filled years.
Nevertheless, we'd better re-
member that there were the
seven fat years and the seven
lean years" long before people
even knew what the word de
preston" meant. The discovery
Of gunpowder must have sent
shivers running down the backs
of our antecedents. Wars and
threats of wars are nothing new
to man.
AS for economic insecurity,
how did our cavemen ancestors
feel when they had to go fora
ging? Taking on one of those
prehistoric monsters was not
conductive to relaxation and
freedom from fear.
Rather than say tits the
goth century failing" and let il

sion and fatigue is to accept
tension as a problem that needs
to be solved by you personally
You will never overcome it if you
relegate it to a problem that mil
lions are "stuck with" simply
because they live in this century
Give Yourself a Quiz
First ask yourself a few ques-
tions. Just how tense a person
are you? How long have you
been this way? Can you recog-
nize tenSeness or does your wife
or husband have to tell you that
you have been tying yourself
up into knots? Have you beer
having symptoms related to your
heart or intestines or stomach
for instance, while your doctor
can find no organic cause fol
how badly you feel?
You can learn to ease your
tensions. But you must be able
to examine yourself effectively
and say: II am quite a tense
person at that" Having ad.

Helpful in FOrgeries
This is not to imply that hand
writing experts are of little value
in court. That is not true. They
provide genuine service and are
especially helpful in forgery
cases. since they can often show
that a signature is forged by
picking out certain "tell-tale'
signs that appear when

Bank tellers or others with
professional experience in verify
ing signatures may also be called
upon as handwriting experts, but
so may amateurs in certain cases
If you, as a layman, happen to
have personal knowledge of the
signature or handwriting in
question, your opinion may carry
as much or more weight than
that of the pros.

den. We are both very interested
in gardening and we have learned
from each other. My wife is
also a good gardener, and there
is no reason except her own
loneliness why she should not
participate in all this.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Paul's glib explanation that he
is not a conventional person
falls far short of clearing up this
problem. If he intends to be as
unconventional as he has been
described above, he should not
live, as he does, in conventional
neighborhood, but should seek
a bohemia, if such exists, where
his behavior would not be con-
sidered noteworthy.
Laura does not help matters
when she says she is not jealous
A wife has every right to be
jealous when a husband insists
on sharing his hobbies with an
other woman. BY diSavowing
Jealousy, Laura has put herself
in a weak position, denying her
husband an innocent and per-
fectly proper association merely
because a few tongues are
wagging.
Laura has right to be jealous
of her husbands time and COM
pany, and should not concede
that everything goes, if only
short or outright physical inf
deity. Jealousy, of course, is a
poor word for assertion of rights
because it usually denotes an
irrational attitude. Irrational
jealousy is a dangerous extreme,
but so is an attitude that permits
a husband to choose another
woman for his best friend.

It's more than billions of dol

The program has been de-
scribed both as a $33 billion and
"a $50 billion project. Even these
figures seem larger at each

The $33 billion figure is basic;
