A local Economic Development

main requirement of both the Ar

a Joint statement released today
by George Nichols, director, State
Division of Planning, and DR.. Ar
thur S. Boswell, dean of the Divi-
sion of Statewide Services and di-
rector of the Cooperative Extern
sion Service at the University of
Alaska.
Nichols is the states represent
atiye for the Area Redevlopment
program. Boswell represents the
Rural Area Development pro-
gram. Both men expressed con-
cetr over the fact that new devel-
opment committees are springing
UP all over the state and trying
to promote specific projects under
the Federal development program
even before they are well organ
lied.
"Of course, we can't develop
the state without getting new bus

He pointed out that under both

along through state channels eth

the Dept. of Commerce, or,in some

be made available to help a local

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Don't Sell Your Heart Short!
BY Or. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

"In 1920 I applied for life
insurance. I was turned down
because of an irregular heart
beat.
Il tried again with another
company; it turned me down
because Of hardening Of the
arteries. I haven't been to
a doctor in the past 13 years.
He might say I'm dead!
DO you blame me?"
NOT A BIT!
What do you think of sep
arate vacations for husband
and wife? I think more peo-
pie should try it. AS far as
we are concerned, 1t has kept
US healthy and appy.-Mrs.
K.
AT THE RISK Of making
bad friends with those read
ers who believe In all-year-
round togethernesS, let me
say that I agree with you.
Mrs. x.
I was talking with q man
Just the other day who let
down his hair: I've been
married for over 20 years and
! haven't even had one night
out with the boys during the
entire time. My wife won't
let me move q step without
her. She doesn't realize 1t,
but she'd have . much hap
pier husband. and be much
more contented herself, If we
got away from one another
once in Q while"
Some of the happier and
most relaxed marital partners
I know are those who realize
that . human being likes to
Evening star., 1961-05-23

get away for . while. That's
true for women as well as
for men.
I recall one happy family
who plan 1t this. way: The
wife and children go off for
a few days to a place Of
their own choosing. The hus-
band goes off with the boys
on q hunting and fishing
trip. Then the entire fam
lily gets together for the final
week Of their vacation.
I think this is good medi-
cine. Too much togetherness
can be sitting to the most
loving Of marriage partners.
Tip to Mrs. G.: Don't 20
running to q psychiatrist with
your son. Let your family
doctor decide that.
You say he rebels too much.
Maybe that's normal-con-
Sidering we're always telling
teen-agers what to do, and
not to do.
Perhaps you'd have more
to worry about If he took 1t
all lying down and didn't re-
bel. I'm always more con-
cerned about the kids who
have no fight in them.
