How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Good Husband Turns Sour
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: You
are my last resort. I hope
you can help. My husband,
SO, has completely changed
in the past two years. He
was honest, faithful, humble,
a good churchman and wor-
shipped his daughters. Now
he is profane, ignores his
customers, never smiles, half
the time won't talk to me.
(When he is outside he drips
with honeyD He lies, cheats
and has even committed
adultery.
For over 20 years everyone
referred to us as the ideal
family. And it was true: We
prayed together, played to-
gether and lived and enjoyed
life together. Now that is
all gone. He can't sit still
one second. He doesn't
listen to hi-fi which he used
to enjoy. Doesn't read any,
thing any more-except the
funnieS.
In the last two years he
has aged 10 years. We talk
when we do-like Strang-
ers; nothing deep, no affec-
ton, no warmth. When he
leaves the house, if I kiss
him on the lips, he rubs his
mouth. I have tried to be
lovingly patient with all this.
I feel he needs a doctor, but
he won't go. What is your
advice, please! - Mrs. X,
U. S. A.
ALL 1 CAN DO is specu-
Evening star., 1961-08-31
BY THOMAS COLLINS

There are many ways to
do it. The Jim JohnSons
have done it well.
Jim johnson was retired
at IS with a total husband
wife income of $278 a
month. The home, which
was clear, was somewhat
old but substantial and was
located in a community at
the outskirts of town where
the Johnsons had lived for
% years. It was rated at
$4,000. Savings, with every
thing thrown in, came to
just over $4,000.
There's a lot of con-
versation about planning
for retirement" he says.
Most of it is nonsense be-
cause about all it amounts
to Is adding up the figures
in the budget book and
dreaming about which palm
tree to lie under. Mama and
I didn't plan-we plotted,
schemed, and blueprinted.
And we gambled a little :"
Mr.. Johnson was nearing
his 64th birthday before he
and his wife got to work on
retirement. They started
with their home.
"I figured we wanted three
things out of the house." he
explains. 1--WE wanted to
keep living in it as long as
we chose-it had been home
too long. We wanted at the
same time not to be slaves
to ito be free to leave it
for weeks, months, or a
year at a time. And third,
we wanted a hedge against
money problems III the
future by getting some in
come from the property.
Add an Apartment
1--WE got all three by
the simple device of build
ing a one-bedroom private
apartment upstairs, with a
bath and Pullman kitchen.
1t took only about $4,000
because in the last year on
the job I was able to squeeze
out enough free time to
help with the work.
THE apartment was to
be for Mama and me. The
house was to be rented :"
That's how it turned out.
But meanwhile the John
sons were looking for a sec
ond home. Something in
teresting" was their only re-
quirement, and in the end
this turned out to be a 40
acre farm in Kentucky.
According to Mrs. John
son, 1--WE both felt a lean
ing toward nature E. birds,
trees, squirrels, berries, any
kind of growing thing. We
both had in the back of our
minds the awful threat of
another war. If the world
went to pot this at least
would be a place to grow our
food.
According to her hus-
band, 1T was a sound eco
nomic move. With a house
that was livable-and from
here on I would have plenty
of time to modernize it
and with about 30 $3.50
acres that would grow
things, the price of $l1, 900
was in line. We still had
about $4,000 in savings.
But I wanted a nest egg.
We agreed to pay $4,000
down, and $1,000 a year on
a mortgage. The $1,000 was
what I figured we would net
on the rent from our house
at $3.50 a month.
In short, we could apply
$500 a year to taxes and up
keep on the home; $1,000 to
the farm; have an apart
ment in the old home where
we could live whenever we
wanted to; and have a 40
acre plot to play with 4.
all with an assured income
of $278 a month if things
went sour :"
The JohnsonS rented their
house at $3.50 a month.
The tenants took over three
months after Johnson re-
tired, with a written agree
ment that the Johnsons
would come and use the up
stairs apartment when and
how they wanted. (The only

Germans occupied Petrod-

leading down to the Baltic
were removed or destroyed,
and the entire fountain sys-

monumental statues Of Sam
son, volkhov, Neva and the
Tritons were destroyed and
the has reliefs were removed.
Restoration of the Grand
Cascade began in 1945, and
in 1916 the restored Samson
was put in place.
Though the palace was
built to rank with Versailles
and Schonbrunn, with its
magnificent canal and foun-

There are gilded fountains

drop into a basin, in the CEN

Between the Great Neva
and the Little Neva is Vas

Stock Exchange. the Pushkin
Museum, the Tolstoy Museum
and Leningrad University.
There, too, is the old Men
shikov Palace, the former
property of Prince Aleksasha
Menshikov, a favorite of Peter
the Great. 1t is one of the
Oldest palaces in Leningrad,
dating back to the time of
Peter, and is in the old Rus
sian Baroque style.
Across the Neva again, on
the right bank. is the gold
spired Peter Paul fortress, as
gloomy a spot as one is like
~ to find in Leningrad, in
spite of it's ornate design.
Golden Tower
1t is the fortress which
Peter originally planned to
defend the city. but it lost
its military significance and
became the celebrated Rus
sian Bastille. First prisoner
in the prison was Peters own
son, Alexei. whom Peter had
tortured to death in its cells.
