THE FAMILY COUNCIL
Man, 26, Feels Stuck
With Girl HE DisIikes
THE PROBLEM
Jim D. Mother got me into this.
Mrs T. D-His friend is bad influence
THE DETAILS

Jim D.-Two years ago my
mother introduced me to the
daughter of a friend Of hers and
I went out with her quite a lot
for about year.
This girl. Betty, is 90, three
years older than / am. She is
very homely and she is taller
than am. I'm very embar-
raised when I go out with her
and / decided to call 1t quits.
That is easier said than done,
however. Betty calls me con-
stantly at home and at my Office.
She keeps inviting me over to
her home for dinner and gives
me gifts on every occasion.
don't reciprocate until it be-
comes absolutely necessary. She
has practically asked me to
marry her and I've had to more
or less dodge the proposal.
I can't tell this girl to let me
alone. I don't want to hurt her
feelings. My mother got me in
to this and l think she ought to
get me out by having a quiet
talk with Betty.
Mrs. T. Dim simply doesn't
know what is good for him. This
girl. while not the most beautiful
in the world, is by no means
homely. She is intelligent. has a
charming personality and is a
good homemaker.
She is by no means at a loss
for men, but she happens to care
for Jim. It's his luck and he is
too much a fool to know it.
When Jim first started seeing
Betty. he liked her very much
and saw none of the faults he
now speaks Of. Last year, how
ever. he took up with a friend
who has been very bad in
fluence on him. This youn man
Immediately made fun Of Betty
and told Jim that he looks like
an idiot going out with a girl
older ard taller than he is.
This is nonsense. because Betty
looks younger than Jim and is
no more than fraction of an
inch taller. Jim has admitted ne
wouldn't have noticed these
things about Betty if his friend
hadn't pointed them out.
The COUNCILS VIEW
1t appears from both state
ments that Jim is being per-
secuted or inundated by his
mother, Betty and a friend. Any
one who can manage to get
presumed by three separate in-
dividuals must be asking for 1t
And If Jim is asking for 1t, his
mother is at least partially re-
sponsible.
Mrs. T. DIS notion that Jim
"doesn't know what is good for
him" encourages this man OF
26 to rely on anyone's judgment
but his own. When a young man
must ask his mothers help ia
getting out Of a situation" with
a girl. things have gotten mighty
bad with him.
jim should recognize that his
attitude toward Betty is very
much conditioned by his i'm
mature relationship with his
mother. He has let Betty take
the reins OF his life. Then.
ashamed OF himself. angry and
uncomfortable. he makes the ges-
lures Of trying to shake her of
He doesn't really know how he
feels about her. and thus be-
comes the prey OF any friend
who has his own reasons for
wanting TO get in on the act.

very much. You don't know
how much Ill appreciate hear
ing from you. Mr.. L. L.
I'd like to pass along the
"other advice" first. I believe you
should develop sounder phi
losophy of life. You seem to be
one Of those unfortunate people
who become panicky at the very
thought of old age.
How old we are depends less
upon the age of our bones and
arteries than upon the I'M
quenchable flame of youth that
lights up all of our thoughts and
aspirations.
This may sound like a lot of
|highfalutin hocus-pocus. Never
theless. it is true. In my practice
I have seen white-haired people
of 70. and over. who were much
younger than many dark-haired
men and women in their forties
and fifties.
Mr.. l.. L., believe that you
are depressed about the evidence
of aging than you are about the
gray hair. Face 1t. And better
do something about it. Like, for
example, reading the biography
of BENJAMIN Franklin - and
many other young oldsters.
AS for the use of hair dyes, for
the most part they are not dan
gerous. I suggest. however, that
you let a professional do the job.
Also. have patch test done
first to make certain that you
are not sensitive to the solutions.
For. as a recent statement in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association warns: "As
far as a safe method Of chang
ing the color Of the hair is con-
cerned, there is no absolutely
safe procedure. An occasional
person will still react unfavor-
ably"

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
It's How Old You FeeI-Not Look
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Benjamin Franklin said: "All
would live long, but none would
be old" Yet, he himself was a
living example of a youthful old
age. From his writings and other
accomplishments-such as help
ing, draw up the Constitution
when he was in his 80s-we
garner the proof of his ire
pressible high spirits.
Yes, all of us would live long
but how many sacrifice our
youthfulness prematurely? Fol
example. consider such an item
in the normal aging process as
gray hair, Here is a letter I re-
ceived a few days ago:
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: am
depressed. i have been for
over a year. simply must do
something about my gray hair.
! am a clerk in an insurance
company and 1 am only AZ
years old. Although l have
no lines in my face or wrinkles
/ look 20 years older than the
other men in my Office.
They kid me about It: call
me "old man" and such things.
/ laugh 1t Off-they think-but
inside 1t almost kills me. For
months l have been consider
ing the use Of those advertised
solutions that darken hair. But
! have been unable to make up
my mind about it.
One reason Is that I think
I'll come in for more kidding
than / ever had II l walk into
work looking like a "yOung
man" again. The other Is that
/ wonder il I can harm myself
by using the artificial applica-
tiOns to my hair.
/ know that l will have to be
the one to make the final
decision. But l wish you would
help me in this: are these
hair preparations on the
market safe to use? And Of
course, I'll appreciate any
other advice you may wish TO
pass along to me. Thanks

SECURITY FOR YOU
Nv RAY HENRY

ONE OF THE DOCTORS who
aided at the birth Of social secur-
ity, Marion Folsom. did some
reminiscing the other day. He
recalled a few of the attitudes
toward social security when Con-
gress approved it back in 1885.
Now Secretary Of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare, Mr.. Fol-
som caves these as samples:
. Social security will close all
the Nations factories.
. It's just another attempt to
open the goose and get all the
golden eggs at once.
. 1t will become 1.-THE wages
Of the driven slave"
. 1t will lead to a Nation of
regimented people. all wearing
dog tags.
But. today. Folsom said, atti-
tudes have changed.
Few people now question
whether we should have a basic
social security system. And the
old fears have not been borne
out"
Mr.. Folsom did his reminiscing
on an occasion when few people
we're likely to challenge the sue
cess Of Social Security in provid-
ing benefits. 1t was the day the
10 millionth person started draw
ing a monthly Social Security
check and he presented the first
check to that person.
Certainly no one can doubt
that the growth of the Social
Security System has been amaz-
ing. Take a look for yourself:
The first monthly payments
were made in January. 1910. BY
the end Of the year, some $780,
900 persons were drawing pay
mentS.
By July. 1914. monthly pay
ments hit the million mark and
by September, 1850, 3 million
persons were drawing them.
In 1850, Congress changed the
Social Security law making more
people eligible and in the next
two years. 2 million more per-
sons were added to the Social
Security rolls.
In 1854. Congress again liber-
allied the conditions under which
a person could get payments and
by 1856 8 million persons we're
getting monthly checks.
Today. it's 10 million.
Some 100000 persons are
getting the payments as retired
workers and as dependents. The
rest are children under 10 or dis
abled children over 10, mothers
of children under 10, widows,
dependent widowers and depen-
dent parents.
THE AVERAGE PAYMENT to
retired workers with no depend
ents is SCI a month. Retired
couples average $l06 a month.
Family payments to a widow
with two children average $l40.
But. that's only part of the
story. The rest involves the in
surance protection the system
provides for people who haven't
reached a point where they're
eligible to draw payments.
Ninety per cent OF all paid
work in the country is covered
by the program and 70 million
persons are now insured. OF
these, "a million are perma-
|nently insured and may qualify
for old-age or survivors pay

THE KEY TO SUCCESS

For centuries man has sought
a Surefire key to success. Some
say that this key is financial
power, while others contend that
it is political influence. But can
these keys really open the door
to success?
1t should be understood that
the key to success is a composite
one which includes cooperation,
fair play, honesty and hard work.
While 1t is true enough that
success can be reached without
some of these elements, is 1t not
also true that once one attains
a goal through trickery, dishon-
esty, and interruptions tactics, his
position 10 In constant Jeopardy
Of attacks by those who have been
unfairly treated?
Rapid success that is Short
lived is seldom worth the schem-
ing and conniving necessary to
reach it. On the other hand, if
one chooses the sure - though
sometimes slower - path to sue
cess, it is likely that its duration
will be longer and more secure.
In addition to the constant fear
lurking In the heart Of the sue
cessful man who has been dog
matte and dishonest in his deal
ings, there are the merciless floa-
sings of his conscience will leave
him a broken and detected
wretch. iii

and lasting success can be OPEN

ton, fair play, honesty, and hard
work.

After the session. newsmen

MANTEO-MOYOCK SPLIT
FIRST BASKETBALL GAMES


The Manteo Redskins basketball
teams split their seasons opener
last Tuesday night at Moyock as
the Manteo girls squeezed by the
Moyock team by a 22-15 score. The
Moyock boys won their game by
scoring a basket with only one
minute to go and then kept the
Redskins from getting near the
basket to win 27-25.
In the girls game the score was
tied several times in the first quar-
ter and ended in an 8-8 tie. The
Moyock girls had the lead 1871
at the end of the second quarter.
Moyock still had the lead at the
start of the fourth quarter, then
a basket by Carol Perry broke the
ice for Manteo and they went on
to win by the final score of 22-15.
1t was, without doubt, differ
ent team than the one which rep
resented Manteo last year, and won
the tournaments championship. AL
though Coach Ayers has several
of his guards, he has only one
remaining forward, Helen Baum,
from last years team. This was
night. The fordwards' passing and
working was fair, but they couldn't
seem to find the basket.
The Manteo boys started off
with surprising show of strength,
taking an early 10 lead and then
had a 11-3 lead at the end of the
first period. But the second quar-
ter was a nightmare for the Red
skins, as Gary Meekins was re-
moved from the game, and Law
renee Swain received a sprained
ankle and had to be taken out. The
team scored only 2 points in the
entire second quarter, while Moy-
ock score z, cutting Manteo to
a 1910 lead. Gary Meekins fouled
out in the early fourth quarter and
this removed most of Manteo's
heighth from the game. But Man
teo's passing and failure to shoot
often enough when they had OPEN
ings, lost the game for them.
Hughes Tillett was high point man
for the Manteo boys.
This Friday night, the Redskins
will play their first home game of
the season, as they will face En-
gelhard. The girls game will start
at 1880. Next Tuesday night, the
teams will travel to Swan Quarter.
