things-we never had enough
money to run a home as my
husband wanted it run. and
our sex life had been made
quate from the start. And had
steadily deteriorated.
Il am normally affectionate
and responsive. but always felt
like a northumberland no
wonder. I rejected the idea OF
an affair. and had thrown my
self into work as an antidote.

tious. aggressive and unfemi-

band who was pitied. Finally. In
the heat Of an argument. told
him last summer that either he
went to . psychiatrist TO find
out why he was unable to func-
ton at all: or I was going to
leave.
Husband Loses Fear Of Sex
Three months have passed,
and as my husband has gained
insight into his problems. our
life has changed immeasure-
ably. All Of his problems stem
med from childhood with an
oyerprotective. physically weak
mother. The inadequate in
come. the fear Of sex. and the
superficial sweetness and charm
all masked a deeply buried re-
sentiment over q childhood
which had all but emasculated
him.
Now that things are looking
UP. my 'tantrums have disap-

And now that things are
improving. I can look back on
those years and find some
measure Of good. I can handle
money like a magician. / can
make II do tricks. / am working
more efficiently and with much
less effort. because I don't use
work as an escape.

God Is becoming popular
The traffic that used TO choke

Phyllis FL just don't know
what that husband Of mine
expects. Does he think ten
years Of part time fatherhood
can be Just wiped OF the slate?
Does he think the scars on my
heart will heal overnight Just
because he has changed his
mind? The fact Is that I can't
take his reform too seriously.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Il will take great effort on
both sides to repair the dam
age to this home. Phyllis and
sam should make that effort
for their own sake and for
their children's.
Sam should recognize that
the burden Of proof Of the
sincerity Of his reform rests on
him. He cannot expect this
|long-suffering family to well
come him back with q gala
blast Of trumpets the minute
he sets his wandering. mud
ameared boot in the door. His
wife has not yet had the ex-
perience Of having q huband
who shows in word and deed
that his first concern Is her
happiness. His children do not
yet know what 1t Is to have q
devoted father participating In
their daily lives.
Sam must think about ways
to express his love and con-
Germ for his family. He should
try to avoid indulging In self
pity about their attitude toward
him. As he loses interest IN
himself. 1t Is very likely that
his family viii become more
interested In him.
On the other hand, Phyllis
should try 20 avoid nursing
bitter. vengeful feelings toward
her husband. It win only breed
further unhappiness for her
and the children. The children
need to love their father In or
der to be at peace with them
selves. Phyllis must try to help
Sam bring out his best qualities
and TO help the children to see
them. Gradually they may
learn forbearance toward his
weaknesses.
Phyllis is wrong and foolish
to scorn her husbands reform
simply because 1t was set OF
BY illness. An outside factor
can sometimes force an indi-
vidual 70 a deep inner realiza-
ton. Phyllis should encourage
and nourish the germ Of good
win now growing in her hus-
band. Her veneeful feelings
would only stamp IL out.

Bartlett Asks Congress Authorize All APW Monies

WASHINGTON, R-Del. Bart lett asked Senate Appropria- tions subcommittee yesterday to recommend Alaska be given all the remaining money authorized for the Alaska Public Works pro- gram.
 The 10 Y year program now is scheduled to end June 30, 1859. The administration has recom- mended an appropriation of four million dollars for the program in the year beginning July 1. This would leave $1,323,8OO unappro- priated of the TO million dollars which Congress has authorized to be spent in carrying out the act.
 Bartlett said later he consid- cred Sen. Hayden D-Ariz), com mittee chairman, to be sympath- etic to his request for the full amount. He said he also had talk ed with officials of the Depart ment of the Interior and was "hopeful they too will support" his request.
 The Alaskan recently intro duced a bill to extend the life of the APW program another five years and to provide authority for another 30 million dollars in appropriations.
