Now and Then

There's a man hereaboEt9 who used
to plant fine garden every spring I'M
Ill the years finally caught up with him
He told me with q twinkle in his eye
one day as We looked over his plot;
Bill, never plant more garden than
my wife can tend" -
He didn't either. And his wife tend
cd il with loving care He did his work
and she did hers ! never saw happier
couple
Today, such a statement, though it
might be admired by incredulous males,
would surely be the butt Of derisiye
comments by their wives. The trend,
Sir, is definitely in the other direction!
For instance, did you see in Mondays
papers where Columbia professor told
q wholesale grocers' convention that
Ma has Pa so busy washing dishes and
baby tending that he has no time for
world problems?
No other civilization" said Miss
Margaret Mead, has let responsible
and important men take care Of little
babies to the extent American culture
is today" If this is true with import
ant men" how about the "unimport-
ant" men like you know who?
Miss Mead, who is an expert on primi-
tive cultures, told the grocers that our
gadget-filled modern home looks eff
cient "but it takes all Of fathers time
as well as mothers 10 run it."
Now, there's nothing particularly
startling about these words, though,
coming from woman, they are some
what thought-proyoking The hand
writing has been on the kitchen, nurs-
cry and home laundry walls for many
years for all those harassed males who
had time to look.
And there are those among the ladies
who will note that Miss Mead, being
single, could not possibly know what a
rough time modern home keepers and
mothers have Of it. Others might point
out that, being an expert on primitive
cultures, Miss Mead would naturally
find the contrast between women's
part in the old and new civilizations
worthy Of comment.
No matter from which angle you
view it, though, the fact remains that
Dad is spending more and more time
with Mas problems, or problems that
used to be hers exclusively, and pro-
portionately less time with his own.
There's no doubt then, that the CAD
get, with which man has sought TO less
en- his mates burden, has done just
that; but at the same time, il has add
ed to his own burden. It's as If the
man Of whom we spoke, who planted
the small garden to be sure that his
wife could tend it all, suddenly found
that he himself had to tend it, and that
he's planted much too large a plotl

BY Bill Prouty

But whether or not you contend that
mans taking over more and more Of
woman's burdens is for the betterment
or the detriment Of human society, the
fact remains that the gadget Is Just
another tool by which man is burying
his once predominant position. The CAD
get is by-product Of our changing 50
ciety, not the cause Of it. The real
culprit (from mans viewpoint, Of
course) is a little piece Of folded paper
upon which is printed mumbo-jumbo
Of legal sounding and scarcely intellig-
bic sentences.
1t is, Of course, the life insurance
policy-the little garden planted by
man which, instead of being tended by
his mate, has kept him so busy scratch
ing for living that he has hardly no
ticed that he has handed his spouse the
world on a silver platter.
Often it goes something like this, in
the United States anyhow: The young
married man, or even before he's mar
ried, in order to impress his mate or
future spouse, feels compelled TO load
up on life insurance with her as the
sole beneficiary. This, of course, is
okay with the young lady who in ma
ny cases would have settled for less
Then come the children-and the in
surance salesman. There must be edu
cational policies, Of course, and though
the extra premiums will be a burden,
Dad will somehow see it through.
He does. And after forty years of
shaving, figuring, re-figuring, tighten
ing up on the finances, borrowing mo-
ney on the policies, begging for raises,
doing homework, badgering his wife TO
spend less money, and in general max
ing himself miserable, he finally pays
out the policy.
Also himself. At CT he dies quietly
and unspectacularly, safe in the knowl-
edge that he has provided for his fami-
ly and that his children have been edu-
Gated and are married. His widow, Of
course outlives him by several years,
and sometimes takes trip to Europe.
And if Dads policy was big enough, she
sometimes even marries again.
When man signed the first life in
surance policy, he doomed himself to
second place among the sexes. This
Is in no way meant to belittle life in
surance. It's good stuff. II 1t weren't,
insurance statesmen wouldn't load up on
it, working themselves to an early
death selling it to other men.
No, American men brought 1t all on
themselves, through the mistaken and
ridiculous idea that their women were
not able to take care Of themselves.
They didn't even ask the women If they
could. And the womanfolk won 1t all
without saying word. For this, they
deserve everything they gained.

Alaska Dept. of Health Funds For
 Tuberculosis Control Cut $l ,OOO, ,OO0

JUNEAU = Federal appropria- tions to the Alaska Department of Health for tuberculosis control in 1859 have been cut nearly $1,- 900 from the 1858 amount, ac- cording to notice received from Washington this week by Dr. Harry V. Gibson, commissioner of health. The ADH appropria- tion for tuberculosis in 1858 was Another cut for 1859 is $4,000 Another cut for 1859 is $4.000 Topped from the general health, cancer, heart and water pollu- ton control funds.
 ''This decrease in funds is a serious handicap in the battle against tuberculosis which still remains Alaska's biggest health problem" Dr. Gibson said. "Tre- improvements in control of the disease has been made in the past few years, but we are in the position where if we stop now we'll lose much of what we have gained"
 He said that in some areas in northern and interior Alaska, res ervoirs of the disease still exist and vigilant seeking out of these cases must continue so that they can be put under treatment to prevent the spread to still more people.
 Case finding involves trans portation and X-rays and it is expensive" Dr. Gibson said, "as is also the follow-up care of the thousands of patients whose dis ease has been arrested and under treatment at home: The big drop in tuberculosis deaths in Alaska from 222 in 1947 to 46 in 1857 does not mean that the fight is won, but that improvement in drugs and treatment keeps more people from dying from the dis ease. At the close of 1857 there were 3,705 Alaskan tuberculosis cases receiving treatment at home and 781 in hospitals. Each year we are finding fewer new active cases, but until these are at an absolute minimum we will still have a tuberculosis problem. There were 431 new cases re- ported in 1857 and 595 in 1856.

 But at Presidio, border patrol inspector Raymond Morris said he feared the record 201a-foot flood at this southwest Texas city of 1000 was just a beginning.
 More floodwaters from the Rio Conchos, which flows from Mexi- co into the Rio Grande, and from the Fl Paso area at the western tip of Texas, were still expected.
 The flood, which started Sum day, engulfed farms and homes.
