FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

LONG SHOT: AS a youth, Sir
Winston Churchill was interested
i'm q military career. After
graduation from Harrow, he de-
Icided to attend Sandhurst, the
British West Point.
The entrance examination was
stiff and Churchill did not like
to study. Twice he failed the
exam. When he was given a
third chance, he was almost
desperate enough to do some
serious boning. Then he realized
how much study that would
involve. and he gave cp the idea.
Instead, he took a gamble.
He knew that the toughest ques-
ton. which counted the most.
would be to draw, from memory,
a map Of some area of the
Isprawling British Empire.
Churchill tossed into q hat
10 number Of slips Of paper, each
bearing the name Of a different
British territory. With eyes
closed, he drew out one Of the
slips. On 1t was written New
Zealand"
He pored over the map Of New
Zealand until he knew 1t. On
the day of the examination. he
was ready-if his long shot came
in. Sure enough, New Zealand
was the map called for and he
came through with flying colors.

For the past two years. the
National Manpower Council has
been working the other side Of
the street. It's been studying
womanpower.
The council. a private re-
search organization financed by
the Ford Foundation. discovered
- not too surprisingly - that
women are pretty important to
us men.
They're especially important.
said the council in a recently
published 371-page book. because
many of them work and con-
tribute their skills in business
and industry. If they didn't.
the council added. American
society wouldn't be what it is
today.
Conclusions aside. the council
came up with some new statistics
about working women.
For instance: Today, one
third Of all the women in the
United States. IA or over. are
in the labor force. Three out Of
every ten married women are
now working. including nearly
two out of every five mothers
whose children are in school. At
least nine out Of ten women are
likely to work outside their home
during their lifetime.
Thus. millions of women are
building Social Security rights
through the payment Of Social
Security taxes.
Establish Eligibility
And. according to the councils
figures. today,s average woman
will work under social security
long enough to be eligible for
payments when she
the social security re-
tirement age Of 81. To be
eligible for payments. all men
and women are expected at least
a certain minimum time under
social security.
The average woman now in
her mid-30s. the council cal
culated. can expect to put in
more than 20 years on a job.
And, today's average school,
girl can look forward to some
Is years or more in work out
side her home.
II you're a working woman.
10 years is the maximum time
you1l have to work under social
security to be eligible for pay
ments when you reach 81.
But, il you were born before
January /. 1909. the time you'll
have to work is less than 10
years-the exact amount de-
pending on the year in which
you reach 81. The nearer you
are now to 81, the less time
under social security you'll need.
But. in any case, you'll have to
have at least one and half years.
Although you may work
enough under social security to
be eligible for payments. 1t

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Wages of Homemokinq
By Or. PETER ]. sTElNcRoHN

It seems I stirred up a hornets
nest a few weeks ago. Many Of
you will recall that attributed
much of nervousness in house.
wives to their unwillingness to
accept homemaking and raising
children as their life's work.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: For
many years now, 1t has been a
source Of annoyance to me to
listen to the various views OF in
dividuals who, commercially
enough, work as homemakers--
and at various outside paying
jobs. Iemphasize the word pay
ing because their outside work
is salaried. But. and it is q big
but how many of these out
side salaried wives take the
trouble to tell the world in gen.
eral just how much they con-
tribute actually to the earning
power of their husbands?
do they. for instance, take
into consideration the added
hair-dos. carfare, etc., which is
cost Of extra clothes. cosmetics,
a necessary cost in order that
they may earn q so-called
salary?
do they take the trouble to
inform the general public that
they pay for laundry service,
cleaning women, baby-sitters,
cooks in some instances, and in
general pay through the nose for
Everything that we homemakers
strive to save money on for our
ever-loving husbands?
Time Saved
"Also, how about the time we
take to save money during the
grocery shopping expeditions we
constantly go on; plus the time
we spend sewing our own clothes
and those Of our families-which
we could not possibly do If we
were employed outside the
homes? And the mending?
II. for one. think it is high
time someone took the trouble
to publicize the fact that we
homemakers earn, and do
mean earn more for our respec-
tive families than the outside
worker who has to pay someone
for all the chores which we do
automatically in our week s
work.
| Shopping. too. should be a
considerable item. since we can
feed our families much cheaper
and better than the working
wife who stops at the most con-
venient store, whether it is
economical or not. and almost
always chooses the quickest,
easiest and most expensive
qulckle TO feed the family.
DO Gardening, Too
"And then there is the gar
dening. How many Of our sal
aried housewives do their own
gardening? How can they?
They don't have the time. But
we homemakers do the Job and
no one ever stops to consider
what 1t would cost to hire a
gardener.
"Ah me. I'm not bitter, but
just a bit fed up with the injus-
tice Of the whole deal. For
heavens sake. give the home
maker her due and stop making

FUN
FAMILY FUN
Games
That All
Can Play
BY MILO r. CHRISTENSEN
Superintendent Of Recreation
For the District Of Columbia


When a child is in school, he
is directed by his teacher; when
in church, by his Sunday school
teacher; on the playground. by
the recreation leader. A parent
finds he must be all these things
and even more in order that his
child develop physically. men,
tally. morally and spiritually.
Play is important for its own
sake. It is the change of pace
or activity that replenishes
vitality. It is important for all
ages, from the small child to
the retired grandparent.
Having fun together is an ex-
cellent way for children and
parents to learn to know each
other. On a rainy afternoon
when children are restless and
tempers strained, start a project
every member of the family can
share.
Make Candy or Popcorn Balls
Let the family leaf through
mons cookbook for a simple
recipe for cookies, candy, pop
corn balls, etc. Having each
member share in the making
Dad can sift the flour, junior
will measure the sugar. while
sister and mother add the eggs
and blend the ingredients to-
gether. The real reward comes
not from the eating, but the
happy smiles and flashing eyes
of the children who have shared
a new experience with their
parents.
Children love to have Their
story books read over and over
Next time read the story aloud
and then ask them to dramatic
the action either in pantomime
or with words. If the story is
long. read a page or two, then
act out the plot so far before
proceeding. Parents may act Out
the story while the children read
or tell it. Older children can
improvise costumes.
At the dinner table, start q
round robin story. One person
starts the story with three char
acters. a hero. a heroine and a
villain. He tells the story until
he gets the hero and heroine in
some awful predicament. The
next storyteller must get them
out Of danger and weave more
plot. The story thus continues
around the table. The more
ridiculous the rescue. the more
fun.
Indoor Variety Games
There are countless games and
contests which can be played
using material commonly found
around the house. Let the whole
family try some Of these:
Penny Flip: From six feet, toss
five pennies one at a time SO as
to land on a plate placed in q
dishpan half filled with water
Score points.
Clothes Pin Drop: Leaning
over the back of a straight chair
drop clothes pins into a milk
bottle on the floor.

John R.-My wife and have
been married five years and
have no children. Since we have
been unhappy most Of those five
years. We are now thinking of
splitting up-in spite of the fact
that we love one another.
The problem simply is that
my wife is a nag. She says she
loves me, but it is hard to figure
out what she loves me for when
she seems to find nothing but
faults in me. She criticizes me on
every step-the way I talk, the
way I act, the way dress.
The worst of it is that she
wants to manage my career. I
have a pretty fair job with good
security for the future. I'm
happy in it, but she thinks I
ought to do better. She keeps
egging me on to ask for raises
or to change to another job. She
also wants me to take night
courses to equip myself for a
better job. I work hard all day
and feel that I have a right
to relax and take it easy nights
and on my days of.

way he acts in public. He likes

not-to-bright, ordinary sort of
guy. He'll talk about nothing but
bali games. fishing, Tv, etc. He
plays dumb when people talk
about serious things like politics,
books or plays.
I don't know why he puts on
this pose because underneath he
is a thoughtful. serious person.
He did extremely well in school,
but hasn't done half as well in
his career as his friends who
don't have as much ability.
It's not that I'm greedy for
money. I would be satisfied with
what John was making If I didn't
know that he is capable of doing
so much better.
I feel that John is selling him.
self short on his own life. know
the real John and love him, but
I can't go on with him like this.
I simply want him to use his
abilities and to show himself

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Adele probably knows much
about "the real John"-but there
are other aspects about him that
she simply rejects. She refuses
to accept the John who, for one
reason or another. does not want
TO use his abilities"
1t is possible that John is a
person who can develop in un-
expected ways at an unexpected
time. but does not want to have
a road mapped out for him. He
doesn't want to make demands
upon himself or have anyone
else make demands on him. It is
possible that his "act" of lazy

doesn't necessarily mean that
you'll be eligible for large pay
ments. Your payments can
range from s24 to $l08.50 a
month.
Determined by 2 Factors
The actual size Of your pay
ments will probably depend on
two factors:
/. Your average monthly wage
from January /. 1851. to the time
you retire.
This is found by adding your
total earnings for this period to-
Igether and dividing by the num-
Der of months in the period. You
can drop out up to five years in
which your earnings were lowest
or in which you had no earnings
at all. However, If you have more
than five years during the period
in which you had no earnings,
tnese lean years must be used in
your calculation.
2. Whether you retire and start
drawing payments at So or you
continue to work until you reach
I65.
Your paymentsAt 81 will only
be 30 per cent Of what you'd get
III you waited until SIS to start
drawing them. For each month

Touring Games
On trips children get restless
penned UP in a car. They can
be amused and parents can play,
too. Better excuse the driver,
though, for driving requires his
full attention. Keeping track Of
license plates from different
States is always fun. Counting
horses, cows or other animals
with children taking opposite
sides of the car keeps them oc-
cupied from one town to the
next. If a graveyard is sighted,
all the animals counted are killed
and the player starts over.
Musical games are popular.
Let one child hum a tune and
have everyone else guess the title.
Give extra points if the words are
known too. Rounds and silly
songs where actions are inserted
for certain words add variety to
an automobile ride.
The Recreation Room
A family recreation room
should have provision for a va
riety of table games as well as for
hobbies and handicrafts. An
average family can think Of var
ious articles which can be made
OF clay, papier mache, tin cans
and newspapers.
The important thing to re-
member is that the quality of the
finished product is not as inn
portant as the Joy of creating in
a family group. Each family
is recognized and ac-
cepted. His contribution is signi-
ficant. The time spent will be
well worth the effort when you
first hear your child tell his
friend, I'VE have fun at our
house"
