Mr.. Fowler Is sitting In Char

Is TO say, plain.
After lunch, he put-puts back

the Job somewhat. Hf used to

a Cushman Eagle.
His Congressman. James C.

got Marvin a post-0fnce allow
ance Of a dollar q day for the
scooter. Still. Marvin thinks
Of himself as less Of a success
than he would like TO be. He
started at $l.l50 a year in the
post office. He now earns s4,7l0.
Owns His Home
He owns his own home on
South Beach. It is pine-paneled
and he rents a part Of 1t for
$4,000 a year. He owns 40 boat
slips on the Shrewsbury and
these bring $2.500. Mrs. Fowler
is a bookkeeper and gets $500.
Total: $l4,3lO a year for the

His life here has been prosa-
ic. with few ecstasies. Once he
found an open letter to a lady
from her husband. 1t said that
he was ending it all and walk
ing into the sea. Mr.. Fowler
ran for the police-too late. In
27 years. the mailman has been
bitten by dogs six times.
He believes that II you forget
to deliver a letter to a house,
you should not go back. The
residents will never forget that
you forgot them and they will
greet you ever after with the
question: "You haven't forgot
ten any mail for US, have your"
Another thing he has learned
Is never to make jokes about
mail. Never say: Here's a check
for you." because, if it turns out
to be a check, the recipient
feels that you are reading his
mail.
In the war, he enlisted as a
private. came home a lieuten-
ant. This, he felt, was real sue
cess, until he met a fisherman

THE PROBLEM

FRANK D-My second wife
thinks about the past.
ISABEL D.--My first husband
was such a live wire.
THE DETAILS
Frank D.-I am a man Of so
with grown and married chill
dren. My wife died three years
ago. and last year I met a
widow OF about my own age
and we were married soon
afterward.
My new wife. Isabel. Is a
good homemaker and I am
Evening star., 1958-05-07

trying to make her very happy
and comfortable, but no mat
ter what I do Isabel doesn't
seem TO be satisfied with me
She keeps talking about the
wonderful times she always had
with her FIRST husband and all
her old friends. Sometimes she
cries or suddenly breaks out
into loud laughing and says
she thought Of something funny
her first husband told her.
Ny first wife was a very
wonderful woman, but I figure
what's past is done with and
that's that. Even II I think of
her sometimes, I don't talk to
Isabel about 1t.
Isabel D.-My first husband
was dead Just a little over a
year when I married Frank, so
naturally everything is fresher
with me than 1t is with him.
I haven't had as much time to
forget.
My first husband was as diff
ferent from Frank as night
from day. He was a real live
wire, always making Jokes and
cutting up and everyone around
him always had a swell time.
Frank is a very good man,
but life with him is so quiet.
I'm just not used to it. I don't
think I'm being disloyal If I
think about the past.
Even my children tell me
they think of the swell times
they had with their father.
When we get together we have
a good time just talking about
some Of the things we all used
to do together. 1t doesn't mean
I'm not happy with Frank.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The experiences of a first
marriage can sometimes help
enrich a second marriage-or
they can stand in the way Of
the second marriages ever
really developing.
Isabel's first marriage seems
to stand in the way. 1t is pos
sible she remarked before she
was fully ready for it. but the
factors that led her to take
the step must have been strong.
She should be aware of them
in order to make the most Of
her present marriage.
AS long as she is so COM
pletely dominated by the men,
ory of her first husband, Isabel
cannot really get to know
Frank. Her first husband was
evidently a vital, exuberant
person who forcefully impressed
his personality on others. Prob
ably it is much harder to get
to know Frank, but he un-
doubtedly has fine and inter-
eSting qualities beneath his
quieter exterior.
Isabel seems to expect her
second husband to be an
exact substitute for her first.
But this is impossible. Her
relationship with Frank will
be different in thousands of
ways from her relationship
with the first man.
When she makes the effort
to come out Of the past enough

null OF rusty brains. And that"
says a 66-year-old man who
had a rusty brain. 'is why more
people can't find their golden
years"
The man is Raymond B. Dom
ner. He retired July /, 1857,
from q Job paying him q little
better than t7.400 q year. His
pension plus social security for
his wife and himself. gave him
q retirement income Of $2li.50.
II saw what was coming" he
says, "and about a year before
! retired I began asking myself
what ! was going TO do about 1t.
II figured I was In a fairly
typical rut for D man Of 81. !
had been a salesman. ! had
done fairly well, and at SO / had
been brought into the ONCE and
given a desk as a 'co-ordinator'
OF eight other statesmen.
Logical Step
''It was q promotion, with q
little more money, and 1t was q
logical step in a sales organiza-
ton. So for a year or so I Co
ordinated' right and left. And I |
did pretty well.
Then pensionitis set in-two
years to go. nowhere to go. no
danger of being fired, and why
get heart attack anyway"
Mr.. Donner thinks most peo-
pie moving up to retirement
coast into this frame Of mind
and let their creative powers
go to seed. "And when they
get to retirement they don't
know how to think anymore"
Couple Had Savings
He and Mrs. Donner had
savings that came to about
$500. They owned their home
but still had a mortgage of
$4,000 on it. Mortgage pay
ments were $50 a month.
They voted to keep the house
and stay at home, taking $4,000
from savings to settle the mort
gage the day the pension
started. ID
Then. with a year still to go
on the job, Mr.. Donner got his
thinking machinery back in
operation"
He worked out a plan to go
into the "sundial and sales
manship business"
"Sundials and putteripg. /
liked; salesmanship, I knew.
So 1t was a promising partner
ship. When I bowed out at my
retirement party at the office
I was considerably more pre-
occupied with what I was going
to than what I was going from"
Set Up . Shop
The sundials were strictly in
the hobby class. Mr.. Donner had
an affinity for mathematics.
which you need for a Sundial,
and enough artistry in his soul
to concoct bizarre sundial de-
signs. He set up a shop in his
garage, gathered a library on
sundials and astronomy, and
began to play.
Meanwhile he had set his
craftsmanship business" in mo-
ton. "I decided / could teach
salesmanship, and that o lot Of
people besides students should
know it," he says. 80 I worked
out a scheme to set up classes
In my home - two classes a
week, in the afternoons, and
dedicated to housewives and re-
tired people.
"It's about the only way such
people can make money-and
they can make a lot of it If
they're good. But they shouldn't
try to compete with schools and
big business. They should con-
centrate on door-to-door SELL +:
ing: real estate, insurance, cos
metics. pots and pans-the spe-
cialty sort of thing. So that is
what I offered in my classes"

He selected a m ailing list
from the phone book, picking
people within walking distance
Of his home. He paid $50 to a
print shop for a simple brochure
explaining his school, then sent

Two labor union officials con-
tended today that automated
factories have not produced
the expanded employment and
lower prices they said experts
had promised.
Albert Whitehouse. director
OF the AFL-CIO Industrial
Union Department. and Elmer
j. Maloy. industrial engineering
chief of the Steelworkers Union,
said automation so far has
proved to be the bane rather
than the boon Of the American
worker.
Both blamed the recession at
least in part on new automatic
machines. many of them guided
electronically, that have pro-
vided increased industrial ca
pacity with fewer workers.
