saying she wanted to be inde-
pendent.
Recently she came to me say
ingf she had gotten involved"
with a man of her own age who
just won't let her alone. She
says she was so lonely she got
involved in an affair before she
realized what kind of a man
he was. Now she sees they are
unsuited in every way, but he
refuses to give her up.
I repeated my invitation to
come live with me and my hus-
band. but Mother says she
doen't want to interfere in our
lives. I am really worried about
her safety.
Mrs. d. M. - This man has
made threats against me and
my family and I don't want to
bring any trouble to my chill
dren. I told him I am willing
to be friends, but that's all. He
just ignores this and keeps
chasing after me.
This man is so jealous it is
really frightening. If / say !
am going to be at a friends
house. he calls up to check up
on me. This becomes very en-
barrassing. He always asks me
why I don't take him to visit
my friends and ! can't tell him
it's because he embarrasSes me
by not dressing or acting right.
1 had really hoped to meet
someone I could marry so I
would not be a burden on the
children. This man is willing to
marry me, but he is so pee
liar I don't think I could live
with him.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Mrs. d. MS fear Of being
a burden on her children and
her involvement in a strange
relationship with a man who
persecutes her seem to be diff
ferent aspects of the same pic
ture. She is so dependent, so
afraid Of being alone, she
tries not to admit it but filings
herself desperately at the first
person who wants her-regard-
less Of whether or not she
wants him.

little knowledge is not danger
Gus; it can be lifesaving.
In my lifetime of practice I
have observed all kinds Of
human beings. Without reser-
walton I can say that the super
optimists died earlier than
their normally apprehensive
neighhors.
For example. take such a
lion in sleeps clothing as APP
pendicitis. One Of the first
cases I rode ambulance for
when I was an intern was a
young man with a ruptured APP
pendix. With us was his dis
traNght bride Of one week.
Sensing how desperately Ill he
was she kept saying 1T kept
telling Charlie not to take a
laxative for his stomach pain.
I told him that I'd read some
where that it was dangerous
to take medicine until you
were sure it wasn't your APP
pendix. He laughed at me. He
kept tell me I was a scarcely
cat" The young man died two
days later: not Of a misprint,
but of lack Of print.
Likewise, I have seen UNI
necessary and tragic deaths
from coronary thrombosis (pa-
tients who treated it lightly as
Indigestion; from tuberculo-
sis Tin patients who treated
themselves with cough mix
lures for months thinking they
had chronic bronchitis: from

never even read one Of the sew

The sun came out at the last
moment. The bridal party stood
on the steps Of Sacred Heart
Church and a blizzard of rice
cascaded across the Sunbeams.
Flashbulbs winked. A stout
woman in a big floppy sum-
mer hat yelled: Happy is the
bride the sun shines on"
That was IS years ago. Last
week the bride sat looking out
the front window. 1t wasn't
much Of a view. She lives at
283 Jackson avenue, Jersey
City. N. j. This is a shopping
section. What she saw were
stores and buses and television
antennae on rooftops.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Foley live
on the second floor. There is
. bakery below. The building
Is part of a row of brick flats,
dark, damp dismal. The name
is in the second bell. When it
is rung, there is no answer. The
visitor gets to the second floor
and a woman's voice says:
"Come in"
The entrance is through the
kitchen. The walls have been
painted many times. The kitch-
en- range is spotlesS. 1t is sell
dom. There is a dark din
ing room and, through an arch,
q living room. In the dining
room, the bride sits on a couch.
She lives most Of her life in
this corner. The bridegroom
sits at the dining room table
with pencil and pad. He is
working on a budget.
Fifteen Years DownhiIl
Much has happened in the
fifteen years, since the sun
shone on Mary Foley. At the
wedding. she was an attractive
girl with black hair and big
hazel eyes. John was short and
brown-haired. a neat, intelli-
gent man built like a jockey.
Today, Mary's hair is snowy.
Her hips are big and wattles
are forming on her throat. She
sits in the dark room with her
hands lying on their sides. She
is paralyzed.
John Foley is gray and his
face is wizened. Both legs are
partially paralyzed. He can
walk as far as the kitchen and
back. These two were not
blessed with children. They
are alone. Sometimes, the lady
upstairs comes down and cooks
a meal for them. Otherwise,
they MUNICH a piece Of cake
and make bologna sandwiches.
This can be a good Sunday
dinner too. II one is hungry.
Happy is the bride Mary
Foley is happy. So is John.

can convince your husband
that thousands have been
shuffled off prematurely simply
because they are stubborn.
Either they call themselves
fatalists: "I'll 60 when my
number comes up. There's
nothing anybody can do about
1t" or, they abhor being thought
cowardly: I'm not one Of
those scared hypochondriacs. /"
Tell your husband, Mrs.
L.K.G. that we ARE all scared"
to some degree. None of US
wants to die .prematurely. And
the honest and sensible ones
among us do something about
it. They INFORM themselves.
BY so doing they make better
and more cooperative patients
for their doctors.

YMCA HELPS
BOYS EARN
CAMP FEES

Boys who are thrifty will be
able to earn the total fee for
camp this summer without any ex-
pense to their parents, Mrs. SmJan
Harris, chairman of the YMCA
Camp Committee announced to-.
day.
Cases of Garden Bouquet COM
plexion soap have been deliver
ed to the Carver Branch office for
the purpose of aiding youngsters
to acquire funds for camp. The
soap sells for so cents a box 4
cakes to box) and so percent
of the proceeds from soap sold
by a youngSter will be credited to
his individual camp account.
The chairman of the committee
stated that camp is something you
cannot afford to put off any more
than you can afford to put off
your child's going to school. Only
four or five yean2 Of his life are
ideally suited to camp life. If he
mis- es out on this he loses for the
most of life the knowledge and
enjoyment that camp life give
him.
The Camp Committee h a &
worked out a plan by which all
youngsters may sell soap to earn
their way to camp this season.
There are approximately II weeks
before camp time. Your con may
sell IL boxes of soap per week
and earn his total camp fee for
Lake Placid Camp. Mrs. Harris
pointed out that with just a little
effort any boy ought to be able to
60 to camp.
Parents, who are interested in
their youngsten earning their way
to camp are requested to contact
the YMCA office, $40 NV 18th
st., or call FIR 4-7829, Monday
through Friday during the hours
of 8 am. TO pm.

WHERE WE LIVE AFFECTS on
r THINKING

The Gallop Poll, directed by
George Gallup of the American
Inutitute of Public Opinion, has
recently shown that geography
affects race bias. When the Su-
preme Court handed down its
historic decision that segregation
of the races in the public cchoolS
violates the Constitution, in the
35 states of the North, initial re-
acton to the decision was one of
approval. This opinion hau not
changed since then, and has
grown steadily stronger during the
past three years.
Firm opposition to the Supreme
CourtC decision of May II, 1854,
has always been found in the
South. However, in the last three
years, the number of Southerners
who disagree with the decision
has leSened. But there is still a
substantial majority in the South
today who oppose the school rul-
ing. Taking the views of Ameri-
cans as a whole, the percentage
rum like this: So per cent of all
Americans favor the decision, 81
per cent are against it, and 6 per
cent have no opinion.
1t is good to know that large
majority of Americans still favor
democracy in practice as well as
in hiytory. 1t is to be hoped too,
that the majority of Southerners
may soon come to realize that
practicing democracy is not only
the bet way to live in the United
States, but is also better for bus
mess conditions, educational OPP
portunities for all and harmonious
relations between the two races.
