widower of 48. We have known
each other for three years and
have been dating steadily.
would love to marry Leonard
but he is full Of doubts and
|hesitations.
There is not only the question
of the difference in our ages, but
the fact that Leonard has three
children and I have none. I love
his children dearly and would
certainly think of them as my
own. II we have more children
I'd be delighted, but If we
shouldn't. I would always feel
that I have a family.
1t seems to me that it is all
very simple and I don't really
see what Leonard is worrying
about if he loves me as he says
he does. We are so compatible
that all our friends say we seem
like a long-married couple.
Leonard il do love Mildred
and think she is very sweet to
treat the difference in our ages
so lightly, but she is really q
romantic girl and doesn't want
to look the facts square in the
face. Sixteen years is really q
very big age difference. When
am an aging so. she'll still be q
young woman.
Also, it doesn't seem fair to
burden q young woman like Mil
dred with a whole family. She
seems to get along very well with
the kids. but she is more like q
big sister to them than mother
When I see them together, I feel
as though I have one foot in the
grave. They call me q square
but honestly I can't keep up with
them.
I feel that I am really too old
to be raising any more children
and it doesn't seem fair to de-
prive Mildred Of children Of her
own.

The combined forces of the

THE Sermon on the Mount" a
Icantata composed by Max See

The work consists Of six Sec

the Sermon on the Mount, and
each section itself divided into
three parts: a contrapuntal
piece for organ, a baritone solo
with organ accompaniment, and
"a treatment Of the same words
by the choir. Variety. within this
somewhat styled framework,
was obtained by stylistic diff
ferences and by differences in
the nature Of the harmonic and
contrapuntal treatment.
The baritone solos were sung
by John Yard. who projected the
text with a sort Of sustained
lyricism that sometimes fit the
words.
The choruses sang with con-
siderable verve. as though in
spired by the task Of performing
an exciting new work, as indeed

How Benefits
Saved CTS
Family
BY RAY HENRY

Goe Gavin wasn't content tc
be an ordinary CT. So, not long
after he entered the Army or
January 30. 1943, he volunteered
for the paratroopS.
Less than two years later, he
was in the bloody battle for the
city Of Bastogne, Belgium. with
the 101st Airborne Division. II
was Christmastime. 1914.
The nearly beaten Germans
in desperation. launched a coun-
ter-attack along the western
front to try to cut across Belgi-
UNI to the sea. They hoped to
split the Allied forces and take
the Belgium ports.
Bastogne. a tiny city of some
$500 people lay in the direct
line Of attack. The 101st was
rushed to the city by truck to
halt the on-rushing Germans.
In the fighting that followed
Goe Gavin was critically
wounded. He spent the next
year-and-a-half in Army hospi-
tails.
After his discharge. he re-
turned to his wife. Jane, whom
he had married before going
overseas.
Two Children Born
In 1947, their daughter, Pat
ricia. was born. Joseph jr., was
born three years later.
During these years and until
april 20 of this year. Joe's wages
we're supplemented by monthly
payments from the Veterans Ad-
ninistration for his wounds.
But, Joe Gavin never COM
pletely recovered from the head
wounds he received at Bastogne.
His wife says he sometimes had
dizzy spells and at times lost his
memory.
On the night of April 20. he
apparently had one of his dizzy
spells. He fell from q subway
platform near his home in Ozone
Park. N. Y. into the side Of a
passing train. He died Of injuries
in a nearby hospital.
Joe had worked enough to
make Jane and the two children
eligible for Social Security pay
ments. On June 6. in a special
ceremony in New York, Jane re-
ceived her first check and. In
Icidentally. became the ten mil
Ilionth living Social Security re-
cipient.
To mark the occasion, Secre-
tary OF Health, Education and
Welfare. Marion Folsom. pre-
Sented the check.
Security Guaranteed
But. to Jane Gavin. the i'm
portance Of the presentation was
the fact that through the Social
Security system and the Veter-
ans Administration she and her
children will have enough money
to live comfortably until the
children have grown.
Her monthly Social Security
check will be 5000 until Patricia
reaches Is. Then until Joseph
Ijr., reaches 18 she will receive
|$162.80 a month. After that
she'll get no monthly checks
until she reaches 81. She'll be
eligible to about $8l q month at
that time.
Along with the money she'll
get from the Veterans Admins
tration. Jane Gavin will be able
to keep her family together and
probably will not have to take
a job.

mism seems reasonable in view
Of the fact that she has found q
man and family she loves. She
is not so young and inexpe-
rienced that she cannot under
stand the meaning Of an age
difference Of Is years.
Leonard's reasoning, on the
other hand, seems faulty. Mildred
shows no sign Of being a roman
tic girl" She considers his three
children a blessing rather than a
burden" She keeps an open
mind on the question of having
more children.
The problem here is not so
much the difference in ages, but
Leonard's obsesSsive worry about
his advanced age. This middle
age anxiety would probably have
come to him whether or not the
question of marriage to Mildred
had arisen.
Instead Of plaguing himself
with vague doubts and worries,
Leonard should go to the doctor
for thorough physical checkup.
He may find that some medical
ton will improve his state Of
mind. But further than that,
he should discuss his anxieties
about marriage to Mildred with
the doctor.
He may learn that he hasn't
got even his big toe in the grave
yet. Armed with the knowledge
OF what he can expect Of him.
self In the years ahead, he should
be able to make a more rational
decision about this marriage.

Nevertheless they are very diff

Woody Herman has tipped the

add that if Louis Jordan, who
has been taking it easy in the

would get settled with a good

have something of gold mine
