Deeply missed by husband John

Once again our eyes look upward
To a bright spot in the sky.

In your mansion way up there.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: What
Is the cause Of pus in urine?
My tw0-yeaE-Old daughter Is
suffering from 1t. Sincerely,
Mrs. J. M.
This condition. which is more
common, in young girls than in
boys, is due to infection in the
kidneys or bladder. When the
infection is in the kidney it is
called pyelonephritis. in the
pelvis Of the kidney it is called
-pyelitis: and when in the uri-
nary bladder. it is called cys-
titus.
Whatever the cause, blood
and pus are found in the urine
usually by microscopic ex-
animation. There may be fever,
chills and sweats. Bed rest
and high fluid intake are inn
portant. 1t is something that
we do not allow to become
chronic. Then, it becomes stub
born. Our best results follow
the use Of the proper anti
biotic in combination with sui
fonamids.

SECURITY FOR YOU
Retired

BY RAY HENRY
Associated Press star writer

A 65-year-old retired en-
gineer is finishing high school
In Los Angeles. A 68-year-old
housewife is learning to make
ceramic pottery in Jupiter, Fla.
A 78-yeAr-old retired mechanic
is going to poetry classes in
Cleveland. s
These are some actual ex-
amples Of what the older gene
ration is doing these days with
their free time. And they show
the wide use being made of
the booming adult education
business around the country.
A recent Government survey
showed that more than half q
million persons who are at
least so attend adult education
classes each year, including
some $4,000 who are rs or
older.
As you might expect. the sur
vey showed that much Of this
study involves getting ready for
retirement. This includes learn
ing about social security, how
to stay healthy in old age, diet
ing and nutrition and develop
ing recreational interests.
Interests in Civic Affairs :
Older people also wade deeply
into civic and public affairs
subjects. Some study to learn
new skills in an effort to keep
on working.
The study is sponsored by
many organizations and is car
ried on in a variety Of loca-
tons. The biggest share Of the
activity goes on in public
school classrooms in the eve
ming, under the guidance Of
local boards Of education.
Glasses sponsored by private
concerns. such as department
stores. run q close second.
Evening classes at colleges and
universities also are extremely
popular. For recreational skills,
older people often turn to such
organizations as the YMCA,
.YWCA. and Red Cross.
Los Angeles has by far the
most successful adult education
program in the country. OF
the eight million Americans
who get involved in such
schooling each year, more than
a million are in the Los Angeles
area with a good share in the
older generation.
How to Start Classes
The bulk Of the schooling
for adults is in cities, although
many small towns have we'll
organized programs.
If you're wondering whether
there are classes in your area,
check with the local schools
or libraries,
If there aren't any classes
going, getting some started
wouldn't be too dificult If you
can round up q half-dozen
interested people.
Suppose. for example, you
want to set up a class on re-
tirement preparation. ~
There are 4 number of or

to give you help. The United

not help much. True, there are
times when the false confessors
are entirely rational. they are
trying to shield a loved one

have a practical reason for
wanting publicity. Once in a

we heard q lot about the prob

But perhaps the kind Of con-

Larry F.-My wife and I
have been uphappily married
for two years and are just about
ready to call it quits.
We had been going together
OF and on for about 10 years
since our high school years.
We got along just fine as
friends, but as soon as we
started to consider marriage
all kinds Of disagreements
arose. Linda doesn't like the
work I do and wants me 20
60 to college nights to better"
myself. l think that's silly as

man and I don't see how col
lege would help me.
/ never did like most of
Linda's friends and she didn't
care for mine. We agreed that
we'd have our separate friends,
but this doesn't seem to work
out.
Linda F.-Larry and I agreed
that If our marriage didn't
work out after two years. we
would separate. It hasn't
scerned to work out. yet ! find
t,lat / am lonely when I am
r,t With him and dread being
8 cne now that all my friends
- married.
I don't feel that Larry has
tired to meet me halfway. I've
tried very hard to please him
by keeping a nice home and
being affectionate and consid-
crate. But / don't see that he
does anything to please me. He
knows how much I want him
to go to college. but he is so
stubborn about it.
I would be willing to accept
Iarry's friends If he would be
decent and courteous to mine,
but he seems to be deliberately
rude.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
The basic trouble with this
marriage Is that neither party
ever accepted 1t as q real mar
riage. According to Linda's
statement, it was q trial mar
riage" from the beginning.
A big factor in the success of
any marriage is the definite
commitment Of the two part
ners to Q lifetime pledge. Even
If the partners religion permits
divorce, q marriage made in
good faith is one in which two
persons make q profound COM
mitment. If the commitment is
insincere or halfhearted. there
are at least two strikes against
marriage.
Despite Linda's claim to
great effort to make a go Of
things, we are not impressed.
Linda shows that she is not
prepared to love her husband
as he is, but wishes to turn him
into something else
No adult can go through the
long. father grueling expert
ence Of working days and going
to college at night without a
strong desire to do so. En-
couragement from q mate can
be helpful to someone with
real ambitions in this direction,
but pressure Is another story.
Larry cannot possibly go
through college on Linda's
steam.

to several skin specialists,

What to do for your boy?
I wish 1 knew. See that he
gets as much sun exposure as
he can safely take. This
seems to help better than
salves and other indications.
And in spite Of the fact that
we doctors cannot make
great promises for cure. I
suggest that your son see his
doctor three or four times a

under observation. If any
