A WOMAN DOCTOR

nothing to marriage but bread which sustans lfe but

even lighthearted woman to greet them with smile.
Many husbands haphazard in their observance of

moment in his quest for votes.
During the 1856 primary
race in California, his schedule

to speed down the highway to

Suddenly they heard the

Leonard should talk of going
into the Navy simply to escape
his sisters. They are really so
good to him. They press his
shirts and sew on his buttons
and keep his room neat with
out his even asking.
My husband and I feel It is
so much more sensible for
Leonard to join the Reserve
Ofhcers Training Corps at COL
lege. Then he could be an
ofiicer and he would have his
schooling behind him. II he
goes into the Navy, he may
never get t o college.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We can't help sympathizine
with Leonard in his girl
trouble. 1t sounds as though
his sisters fuss over him en-
tirely too much.
The j. DIS have gone a little
on the track in their emphasis
on Leonard's manliness. II he
goes into the Navy. he may
learn that sewing on his but

things in order and other
Sissy" jobs are far from taboo
for the red-blooded American
herman. There is no reason
why q boy Of his age should
have all those women waiting
on him-and expecting things
In return from him.
Unless the j. DIS can effect
a revolutionary change in the
home situation, the change tc
a masculine environment is al
most q necessity for Leonard
at this stage. He can profit

Gussie Moran is the extern
mis- star whose lace-trimmed
panties made tongues wag
from Forest Hills to wimble-
don q few years ago. If Gorge
Gus Gussie," as the sports world
tagged her. was not the best
lady tennis player produced.
she was probably the sexiest
to reach the big leagues. and
her fiair for public relations
is still with US.
A few nights ago Gussie, who
now has her own Tv show. was
quizzing fight promoter Teddy
Bremen about some Of the
seamier sides Of his profession.
How. Gussie inquired, did Mr..
Bremen feel about CONNER.
cializing on q sport like box
ing? Wasn't it just "legalized
mayhem"
Smooth Answer
Teddy'S answer was smooth
enough: Prizefghters 60 into
the business with their eyes
open: it offers most Of them q
better livelihood than they
could otherwise expect; there
Is no real danger in profess
sional fighting unless fighters
are out Of condition or have
been badly matched; more
Americans succumb every year
from football or baseball in
juries than from boxing, etc.
While the theory is not en-
tirely tenable. 1t probably holds
some water. On the other hand.
Gussie'S term for boxing Is
neither novel nor correct.
A lot of people still call box
ing "legalized mayhem" posi-
bly, because prize fighting was
illegal in so many States for so
long. But even when 1t was
outlawed, the reason does not
seem to have been primarily
because the law considered it
mayhem.
Mayhem q Crime
Mayhem is a crime in which
one party willfully and mali
ciously disables or disflgures
another. 1t may have been
possible to consider boxing as
mayhem in the days when
fighters fought with bare
knuckles and whaled away at
each other for 40 or SO rounds
until one Of them was uncon-
scious. But the main thinking
at the time seems to have

the cause. Sometimes. I'M
fortunately. such men refuse
to permit the adoption Of q
child: it seems to them q
public admission Of failure.
The stake men have in
their virility is at the root Of
adultery and promiscuity.
Some men are promiscuous
in their youth and haven't
the sense or the control to
stop themselves later. These
are the child-men. searching
for new toys. Marriage has
no meaning for them because
they lack the maturity to APP
preciate its values. As they
grow older, their conquests
become shabbier and their
decisions about themselves
must become correspondingly
greater. It's a tawdry. pitiable
existence with a certain end
ing; sans family. sans dignity.
sans all.
But most men. ! suspect,
contemplate q small amount
Of adultery and this happens
usually after they have been
married about 10 years. At
this period all the forces that
tempt a man to wander have
ripened. First. his job is not
as time-consuming as it was
In the early years and his
income is sufiicient to sup
port his fancies. Second, his
love-making with this wife
has fallen into q pattern,
monotonous and practicable
for them both. And most i'm
portant Of all, the man has
the feeling that the interest,"
ing part of this life is over.
He has found his own limita-
tons and the limitations Of
his occupation. His body is
beginning to thicken and his
hair to thin. He badly needs
. sense Of adventure. and at
this propitious moment per-
haps he catches an adoring
look on his secretary's face
or else q former girl friend
turns UP. single and bright
Of eye.
A man who permits him
self to gallop into an extra
marital r elationship has
problems. Philandering is ex-
tremely expensive and is
bound to strain his financial
resources. It also requires a
great deal Of time, some of
which he may have preferred
to spend with his children or
on the golf course. Little gen.
tleman that he is. he is great
ly concerned with secrecy: he
doesn't want to hurt his
wife's feelings. As his mis-
tress becomes more familiar.
she becomes more demand
ing. She has him at her
mercy, and she knows 1t. He
worries and writhes and
starts over again with an
Z other woman.
Philanderings have only
the advantage Of the excite
ment Of pursuit and the sat-
isfaction Of victory. They
have the disadvantage Of
splitting a mans life: one
half accepted and comfort
able. and the other half
Illicit and degrading. He
suffers a similar split In his
inner self, one side Of him
searching for support for
his ego and the other reject
ing the affections Of an
easily won woman as false.
Instead Of an affair. a
man who is beginning to feel
restless needs a substitute
adventure. Membership in a
spirited service club provides
this for some men. so does
q hunting or fishing trip at
regular intervals. Some men
work of the cravings Of
these moody years by head

yet chosen to be covered by So
cial Security now have until
April IS. 1859, to do so.
Their right to sign up had
run out last April is. But, Con-
gress-just before adjourning--
extended this deadline for an
other two years.
Under Social Security, cler-
gymen-unlike most people
have the option Of deciding
whether they want to particle
pate in the Social Security pro-
gram. Congress made coverage
optional because some religious
sects objected to compulsory
coverage.
Out Of this optional arrange
ment grew the deadline for
signing up.
Here's how:
In 1854, Congress changed
the Social Security law which
for the FIRST time provided COW
erage for clergymen-on any
basis. The effective date was
January /, 1855.
Because Congress felt there
should be q deadline for them
to decide whether they wanted
to be covered, it set April IS.
1857. as the final signing date.
After the deadline, Congress
found that many clergymen
hadn't signed up due to mis-
understandings or lack Of
knowledge; that nearly half
hadn't signed. To give them
another chance. it extended the
deadline to April IS. 1859.
Only clergymen who are new
ly ordained will be brought un-
der the law after that date.
And, they must voluntarily sign
up within two years from the
April is which follows their
ordination or be barred from
coverage forever.
II you're q clergyman and
you haven't higned up for So
cial Security coverage, it's easy
to do so. But. it's going to cost
you between $3.50 and $267.75
in Social Security tax when you
file your income tax return for
1857.
First. here's the story on
how to sign up:
You should write or visit your
nearest Social Security office
and ask for a Social Security
number and for q special APP
plication (Form 203D on
which you must signify your
desire to be covered.
The form must be fielled out
and filed with the nearest dis
strict ONCE Of the Internal
Revenue Service.
The coverage will be as q
self employed person even
though you may be working
for q salary from your church.
AS q self-employed person.
you'll be expected to file by
next April is q report Of your
earnings along with your reg
ular income tax form.
You'll also be expected to pay
the Social Security tax on your
earrings up TO $4,000 q year for
the years 1856 and 1857. The
amount could run from a low
of $3.50 to a high Of $267.75.
BY paying your tax for 1856
and 1857. you'll be considered
covered by Social Security as
of Jan. /. 1856. II you're any.
where near retirement age
65-getting this retroactive
coverage could mean a consid-
cradle difference in the size of
your future retirement pay
ments.
Once you elect coverage,
you'll have to continue to file
q tax return and pay the So
cial Security tax in each year
you earn $500 or more.
Incidentally, your church or
institution doesn't become in
volved or obligated in any way
In your arrangement for Social
Security coverage. But, there's
nothing to stop your church
from adding the cost Of the
tax to your salary or compen-
sation.
