planned about intersections in town.
mainly because of the poor vlsl-
bility of drivers entering High from
Venable.

High Street. this entry is cllml-
mated Surveys have also shown
very little traffic travelling north on
Venable Street.

in a third of the cases, one to
six months for another third,
and a year or more for the
rem a aiming third. Other
studies have indicated that a
larger proportion of persons
recovered from a broken
heart in somewhat less time.
Remember that the world
is full of engagements broken
for better or for worse. My
study found that the average
person has had one engage
ment before the one that
ended in marriage.
You want to be as consid-
crate as possible in breaking
the news to her. but, if you're
really certain that you never
want to marry her, you're
doing even more harm to her
by drifting along and refus-
ing to face it, thereby letting
her waste her time on you.
She should be free to go out
and meet other men and find
someone with whom she has
more in common than she
evidently has with you.

Ed. I'VE had known each
other for some months and
seemed to get along pretty

"As I look back, I think
she rather Unanswered me
into becoming engaged, but
I didn't realize that at the
time. In fact I was quite
eager for it. After that I
became less interested while
she began to urge that we
set a date for the wedding.
Il must admit that there's
no very strong reason to
prevent marriage. Each Of
us is free and making a good
income. There are no tragical
differences in our back
grounds. But I've been
stalling along because I just
began to think more and
more that I didn't want to
marry her. She's now be-
coming quite insistent and
I've got to either put up or
shut UP.

break off the engagement
completely and stop seeing
her. Would that be a cad
dish or indecent thing to
do? Is it likely to damage
her seriously? 1 really want
to do the right thing and
I'm confused"
In principle, Ed, it's much
better to hurt her now by
breaking off the engagement
than to hurt her all the rest
of her life by the feeling that
she is married to a man who
doesn't want her.
A number of surveys have
been made to determine the
effects Of broken engage

An extremely important
and interesting meeting was
held in Washington between
this past July % and August 6.
Senator Pat Mcnamara,
chairman Of the Senate sub
committee on Problems Of
the Aged and Aging, invited
many leaders to testify be-
fore his subcommittee. Off,
cials from the Department Of
Health, Education and We'll

Dor. the Veterans Admins

sentatives from labor, bust
ness and social welfare Or
CARNATIONS testified.
The idea Of the meeting
was to gather information
and to make plans concern
ing what is being done and
what needs to be done for the
aging population.
When you consider the
fact that in the United States
in 1900 there were only three
million people over the age
of IS and that today there
are more than 100000
past that age, it is easy to
see that these are crucial
problems. Today there are
more than 100000 persons
over rs years Of age.
Some Of the problems
which were considered were:
the housing needs of the
elderly and the responsibility
of the federal government;
job discrimination against
the worker over As; financing
adequate medical care for
the aged and aging; condi-
tons in nursing homes;
measures to prevent physical
and mental deterioration;
adequate incomes for those
who have retired; and ways
