Why do wives so frequently
break up their own homes
and families nowadays? We
used to hear of 1.-The other

we still do. But more and
more frequently, it's a wife,
not a husband, who violates
the marriage VOWS. This was
the conclusion of a group Of
lawyers with whom I lunched
recently.
IT can't help being APP

handled in recent years. in
which a wife and mother was
the most fragrant offender
by getting mixed up with
some other man. Are times

Everyone agreed that they

certainly accounts for part
of the trouble" said a wom-
an attorney. "All statistics
show that the number of fe-
male alcoholics is increasing

go to a so-called party and
all get beastly drunk. OF
course a lot of things are
going to happen that weren't

Some Of those cold-sober
parties are just as bad" a
man argued. I'm some in
stances. the difficulty GER
tainly grows out of the in
creasing employment Of
women outside the home.
There used to be talk about
the man who had an office
wife; but as women are
more and more thrown into
business or industry, those
who lack either stability or
basic character have plenty
of chances to get into trouble.
Perhaps the continuous ex-
ploitation of this situation in
motion pictures, TV. and f1c-
ton gives them some ideas"

There's a minor factor
that produces some very
messy affairs" the woman at

custom Of two couples be-
coming so chummy that they
carry on almost all their So

but surely taboo in a mixed crowd
@. Do you dance the first and
last dance with the boy who took
you to the dance?
A. You should certainly reserve
these dances for him, and he
should courteously ask you for
them. But boys will be boys, SO
don't expect him to come through
with perfect manners. (Also they
like to get as much mileage out of
a dance as possible, and it presents
opportunities to meet other girls)
@. How do you accept or decline
a request to dance?
A. If he asks-sav "Yes, I'd like
to dance. If you want to refuse,
decline gracefully, saying some
thing like Pm sorry, I'm going
to. sit this out" "a smart boy will
figure out you don't want to dance
with him, unless you said: Later,
perhaps, or some such encourag-
ing remark. But it is good manners
not to dance that dance with an
other, if you have turned one invi-
tation DOWN.

It's the dance. season, and the
handwriting is in the mail. That
first big dance poses many prob
lens, especially when it is a holi-

mother has all the questions well
in hand. She writes for answers
so her 15-year-old daughter will
be up on dance etiquette:
@. Where does your head belong
on your partners shoulder. or
near him or should it be erect on
your shoulders?
A. Only a couple who are en-
gagged may be excused for using
each other as cushions when dane,
ing. The ideal stance is relaxed
with the head held erect, but not
stiffly.
@. How should your partner hold
you? Where should his hands be
placed?
A. A very tall boy dancing with
a small girl may be forced to hold
her at the shoulder line. The usual
spot is slightly above the waist
line. (Some boys do take a death
grip, and you can only get him to
desist by asking him to take it
easy. Don't hesitate.)
@. Is it permissible for a girl
to ask a boy to dance? Where there
are more girls than boys?
A. Things can't be that tough
for any girl. Think what would
happen if he refused. Some boys
would, too.
@. May girls. dance with each
other?

ers and 1903, or AZ per cent, were

The study shows that the typical
elementary school teacher deyotes
typical secondary school teacher
81 hours and 26 minutes week to
classroom instruction, supervision
of the lunch period, conferences
with students, parents, other staff
members and administrators, and
record keeping. In addition, the
typical elementary teacher spends
8 hours and 20 minutes and the
typical secondary teacher 10 hours
and 81 minutes per week after
school in planning and preparing
lessons, correcting papers and
tests, working or class records,
attending P.T.A. meetings, partici-
pating in other school-community
services, taking in-service courses,
and in other professional activities.
BY comparison, in a similar
statewide study made several
years ago in California it was
found that the work-week of the
typical elementary teacher $50 per
cent of the total number of teach
ers) was AZ hours and 21 minutes
and that of the typical secondary
teacher (32 per cent of the total
number of teachers) was 43 hours

sis, therefore, the typical Califor-
MIA teacher works AZ hours and Al
minutes per week as compared
with a work-week of 43 hours and
1 min. for the typical Delaware
teacher.
Another part of the Delaware
study was concerned with deter
mining the amount of free time
teachers have during the lunch
period. information on this ques-
tion included 1852 elementary

talk about the car, the road, and
his driving. Praise his careful
driving, encourage him to prove
that teen-agers make the best
drivers.
New Responsibility
When he finlaly is able to take
the car out on his own the ques-
tion of car insurance comes up.
Unfortunately the rates for this
kind of insurance are considerably
higher when a teen-ager is one of
those permitted to drive. No car
should ever be on the road without
adequate insurance. This matter
should be thoroughly discussed
with a tesn-ager wanting to drive.
1t is my feeling that the additional
cost of the car insurance is an ex-
pense the boy himself should pay.
Let him get some out-of-school
and weekend jobs and earn the
money that is needed to have him
covered by insurance. This. adds
to his feeling of responsibility
about the car.
So at Christmas time give your
boy the first step in learning to
drive. He will appreciate your
recognition of his growing maturi-
ty, feel warm and friendly toward
you and most likely do everything
in his power to warrant your con-
f1dence in him.
Milford chronicle., 1957-12-13


Why not get him a learners p
ing lessons for Christmas?
Every American boy wants to
drive a car, and almost every one
will. 1t is part of our cultural pat
tern. 1t is much better to encour-
age your boy to be good safe
driver than to forbid his driving
and set the stage for unwise trans
gressions.
Christmas is a wonderful time
to show your boy that you recog-
nize his growing up and have faith
in his developing responsibility. He
will live up to yyeur high opinion
of him. He will take pride in being
the best of possible drivers. You
may have to watch yourself that
you are as good as he isl
Biggest Gift
Insist on absolute observance of
the law. Do not let him take the
wheel of the car until he has a
learners permit, and no permit
until he is old enough by law to
have one.
Almost every 16-year-old boy
itches to drive. That's why the
tedious hours of practice are look
ed forward to eagerly, never felt
as a burden. Once the real drivers
license is acquired he may express
a sudden desire for long Sunday
trips. Go with him and let him drive
a good deal of the time. Let him

@. What do you say at the end of
dance number?
A. Be enthusiastic, not gushy if
you enjoyed the dance. Say: "That
was fun" or 81 enjoyed that very
much" If the dance was a bore,
just smile and nod your head
slightly when he thanks you (and
he should. But who can tell.)
One point every girl should know
is that if her dancing partner does
anything distasteful, from clutch
ing like an octopus to cavorting
like a monkey, he should be left
fiat on the dance floor. You don't
want to be a party to his exhibi-
tiOnism.

voter in Berwick township had his
own ideas for his ballot in the fall
elections here.
He printed, under his own title
of the live and let live amend

After that he drew two squares
one marked "yes" and the other

"yes" square.
Election officials threw out the
ballot because it had been defaced
