THE consensus

opinion has been
that the dinner on
Sunday honoring
~ - Miss May Watson
was personal triumph and
a social success. The forty
five years that Miss Watson
taught in the Milford Schools,
with pupils in attendance from
almost every class up to 1852,
when she retired, was the
basis for much that was said
during the afternoon. 1t was
like a school room, after Miss
Watson had been ushered into
the cafeteria, where the din
ner was served, to have every
one present say Good morn
ing, Miss Watson. Looking
so well in a becoming dark
blue beaded dress and hat, a
lovely yellow roses corsage
just enhanced her comliness as
the former pupils enjoyed
looking at her. Men and wo-
men from nearby states came
to do honor to their former
teacher and it was like any
school meeting when pupils
had time to greet Miss Wat
son and to meet classmates
and friends during the recep-
ton that followed the dinner.
The occasion will long be re-
membered by those who at
tended and a guest book and
watch, properly inscribed will
be pleasant reminders for her
of this great honor. The COM
mittee under the direction of
zena Coopersm mith Aber
brought an afternoon of great
moment to the more than $50
who attended.

THE COUNCILS VIEW
When another woman is

tic feelings often are MIS-
takenly interpreted as jeal-
ousy. The husband. If he is
an older man and innocent
Of the charges. becomes quite
fiattered at the idea.
But we don't think Janet's
feelings in this case are real
Jealousy. We think she is
angry, and rightfully so, be-
cause she sees her husband
being used in an unfair way
by another person.
We think she'd feel about
the same If he were used that
way by another man--only it
isn't likely that Harold would
permit himself to get into
such q situation with an
other man. Grace undoubt-
tedly is trading on her
feminine appeal to q man
who is fiattered by her Nde-
pendence on him.
We think it's fine for en-
ployers to be concerned about
their employees personal
problems, but for the sake of
good Office relations as well
as good personal relations,
definite limits should be set.
Certainly a middle of the
night emergency visit like
the one Janet describes ex-
ceeds those bounds.
