LQOK AROUND YOURSELF, GAL!
DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD:
Not so long ago I read in your column about a "contused Kal" whose
husband was always admiring “other gals” and wishing he could date
them. ,j*
If I am not mistaken I believe you said she was lucky to have a
man who gnl>» looked and wished, instead of actually doing anything
about it. Well, I’m going to let off some steam or I’ll blow my boiler
up. /If
The Bible say* It's as bad to wish you could do a thing as to do
it. I go along with that. Theae I - love-my • wife • but-oh-you ■ kid
guya make me aidk. Sure, they’re goad providers and good fath-
er*, but that ian't all there is to marriage.
It’s not any fun to knock yourself out to look your best in spite of
a houseful of husky children and the dishes, diapers, etc., that go with
them. And who says it’s any fun to go out to dinner and have your
husband so busy admiring and remarking about “other gals" that he
can't hit his mouth with food?
(Oh, Lord, how unnecessary he can make his wife feel!)
You know you look attractive because when you wajk into a place
every man there follows you. with an approving look—every man but
your husband, that is. If ho thinks you look nice he’s keeping it a
dark secret—especially from you.
Finally you gat tired of waiting for a compliment and say,
“Honey don’t you think this dress fits nice?” or “Don’t you like
thla hal style better tha’n the old one?”
He doesn’t even look up from his dinner, just mumbles some-
thing about, “Oh, I guess so. You always look O. K. to me.” It
make* you feel about as sharp as a wet noodle.
Sure, he lover jyou, at least you think he does. He doesn’t tell you
so any more unless you ask him. Then you’re nagging and you’re
dumb because you haven’t got sense enough to know he loves you
without hi* telling you so.
You break your neck to have everything spotless and a tasty meal
kaai the taM£. He comes home, pecks you dutifully on the cheek, (and
that's not what I call a kiss) and plunks down to wolf his supper with
not a word as to whether it’s good or bad.
Sure, he's tired and likes to relax after a hard day’s work, but
you’ve worked just as hard as he has. It’s no snap trying to keep four
kids clean and well-behaved. I’m tired, too, and all I want in return
for my efforts is to be treated like a sweetheart.
Any woman would work her fingers to the bone for a fellow
who would go out of hit way just a little bit to make her feel as
though she were the really special one in his life.
As I say, I'm the mother of four children, but my measure-
ments are still good. I’m five feet four inches, have 36” bust,
36“ hips, and 26” waist. All my neighbor ladies say Im full of
pep and fun and look attractive even in blue jeans.
Yet, when I go out with my husband for an evening ho spends his
time admiring the other women.
I certainly wouldn’t want a man so dead ho couldn't see an attrac-
tive woman—but I would like one who would see me, too.
We’re arin love and happy as most couples, I guess, but this thing
Sure gets my nanny. I don’t want other men admiring me; I just want
my husband to. Maybe I’m dumb, but I can’t figure it out.
ANOTHER CONFUSED GAL
DEAR ANOTHER:
You mag. be confused, but you’re not dumb. Ypur letter shows that^
lit fact, sounds to me as though your husband is the dumb bunny
not to see what a hep gal he's married to. But, I guess some husbands
are just thatsway, and it takes a keg of dynamite to make them up.
. H6w about that? Got a little dynamite around the house?
Couldn’t you, for Instance, be extra charming to some of his
friends, for a change, and talk about how very attractive Joe
Disk ia? Couldn’t you sort of give him the feeling that maybe
he'* the package that's not being appreciated?
You’re smart enough not to carry this too far—but just a slight
charge of his own tactics oughtn't to do any harm and might be just
what’s needed to rouse him from his take-the-old-gal-for-granted
attitude. M M.

The highest praise I ever had
came from a friendly parent who

) As she offered me her hand she
said: "‘You don’t look a bit like
a school teacher!”
Her words were meant as .a
compliment. I .accepted .them as
such. Afterwards, I wondered what
a teacher was supposed to look
like.
What kind of people are we?

teacher I believed parents and

false move and you have “lost”

DON’T MEDDLE WITH THE MAIL, MISS!
DEAR MRS. MAYFIELD:
My older sister is a two-timer and a cheat. She is writing to four
different boys in the. service and she writes them all the same letter.
One of the fellows Is in the Marines (He’s my guy except he
thinks I'm too young. I’rh 13) and one of the fellows is in the
Air Force, and two are in the Navy but not on the tame ship.
That’s how aha can get away with her two-timing.
She gets lots of mail from these fellows so I suppose they are taking
her seriously. She hides their letters so I can’t read them. I think if
I could get hold of one I'd get the address and write the fellow about
her two-facedness.
Do you think that would be fair? ALLIE LOU.
DEAR ALLIE LOU:
You don't want to cheat jurt because your sis does, do you? And
that’s what you’d be doing by poaching on her mail.
Maybe thing* aren't as bad as you think. Maybe she isn't lead-
ing the frilows on to anything serious. Maybe they're grateful
for the mall they get and would resent being disillusioned. Maybe
, she’ll straighten it out In the end—or won't, need to. Maybe
the fellowe are writing about the same type letters she does.
Maybe a dozen different things. At any rate, you ought to keep your
out of this pie. M. M.
With the steady increase in the number of passenger
cars on the nation’s highways since the end of the war,
you’d think the average mileage per passenger would be
a-soaring. Such, however, is not the case.
In 1046, the average mileage per passenger car in thTB’
U..S, reached 9,042. But by 1950, the figure had dropped
to 9,020. The most plausible explanation is that, due to
mounting tf^ffig congestion, more and more drivers are
using their cat's principally for hasiness,*and taking fewer
weekend pleasure trips.
The prospect of getting involved ill the weekend traffic
jam found in and around most metropolitan areas is, to say
the least, not inviting. So, it’s not difficult to see why av-
erage passenger car mileage is on the decline. Traf“
congestion is taking the pleasure out of pleasure drivi
and this is not a situation to be feken lightly.
Now is the time to take ^ctiorlagainst the growing tr,
fic problem. As the AAA has hmg urged, let's have m
off-street parking, more freew^s, better traffic conti
through the application of sound engineering principles^
and better regulation of parking.

Whiteface Cadet Is
At Pensacola, Fla. .
WHITEFACE - Cadet Sterling
I.. Smith, U. S. Naval Reserve,
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Smith
of Whiteface, has recently reported
at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station,
Saufley Field, Pensacola, Fla.,
where he is undergoing training
in formation flying, fixed aerial
gunnery an instrument flying.
Cadet Smith was graduated
from Whiteface High School in
1946, and atended Texas Tech in
Lubbock. Since entering the flight
program in September, 1951, he
has completed pre-flight and the
first two phases of basic flight
training.
Cadet Smith will be designated
a naval aviator and commisstion-
ed an ensign in the U. S. Naval
Reserve upon completion of his
flight training.
“Roof-bolting” is a means o(
stabilizing the roofs of coal mines

We teachers differ as all people
differ. We may be a hard-fisted
married woman with three child-
Marine veteran of Okinawa, a
ren, a streamlined glamour girl.
Each has his worth. Each makes
his special contribution to his pro-
fession.
As a group, we arc keenly con-
scious of our peculiar bird-in-the
cage position.
Our personal behavior is the
subject for criticism. So are
our methods of teaching our
religious and our political be-
« Uefs. In small communities
T this is particularly true. In the
cities many teachers I know
, from their schools so they may
prefer to live a distance away
enjoy the same personal free-
dom as their neighbors.
I remember a conversation I
had with the father of one of my
pupils, who told me:
^"Teachers shouldn’t smoke be-
cause it sets a bad example to
the children.” »
He was taken back when
I suggested that It was unfair
to ask teachers to adopt a non
smokiag standard that was not
observed at home by the par-
ent*.
Teachers are neither fish nor
fowl. If we organize to im-
prove our earnings, we are
told we are professional. Yet
4o those of other professional
salaries are hardly equal
who have similar train-
aad experience,
teachers have any trait in
common, it is that we are a strange
combination of dreamer and real-
ist. As yound persons in college,
we discover the past. We are shown
a glimpse of the future. We dream
.of imparting, all this knowledge
(t> others. We enter our work with
eyes wide open.
Some of us may have to take
other jobs to make ends meet.
Some of my friends work in
the summer as playground in -
struetOrs, counselors, waitres-
ses. Some do part-time work
as typints or accountants. Eng-
lish teachers may do adver-
tising worii, or teach night
school, 'f '' v
One «*f my colleagues
distributes a fine brand of
Jams and Jellies known through-
out the West. Another has pub-
lished child rens stories. One
teacher worked as a bartender
after hours.
Yet we stick with teaching be-
cause we like it. It’s what we
want to do!
We have problems. We get ul-
cers, pay mortgages, lose loved
ones. Our own children bring
home bad report cards, get spring
fever and polio. Yet we don’t and
We teachers have our faults. As
parent, I know that. We gripe.
We dislike clerical work, visiting
supervisors, fire drills, marking
papers, special reports. We are
too sensitive to criticism.
We are irritated when we ask
John to erase the blackboard and
he replies, "Why should I? I don’t
work here.”
We get annoyed when, after we
have finished a long explanation
and ask “Any question?,” Mary
answers, "May I have the pass?”
On the other hand, I have
seen teachers slaving for hours
after school with an orchestra
a dramatic group, a fencing
club, a remedial reading class.
We chaperon dances on our
own time.
We will give up a lunch per-
iod to meet a parent, or to
supervise a school yard. We
will s|tend hours marking pa-
pers so that we can point out
erros for correction. We run
to libraries, museums, business
which will make out lessons
more alive.
We will dig down into our own
pockets to pay for needed supplies,
for parties, for posters, for the for-
gotten milk money. We will spend
time reading tn our field so that
we know the newest trends in
child psychology and in our own
subject. We will take ’alertness”
courses and attend lectures to in-
crease our skill, learning and
technique.

We like children. How else would

there should be noisd, the noise

else could we stand "just kids"
6* hours a day, 5 days a week,
10 months a year, for at leapt 25
years of our lives?
We find rewards such as
these:
—The little shiver of delight
ness and a child says “Thank

—The first time Joan reads
a whole sentence or completes
—The corrected lisp; Uie dis-

track star; the shy child

passing test grade; the prize

TOMORROW. REPORT CARD
WORRIES.
There are many of the new
books received at the library which
cannot be placed in the category
with "typed" volumes. Neverthe-
less, these books deserve mention
because they will be well read.
The first which we would like
to mention today is Thomas W.
Duncan's latest, "Ring Horse”.
Perhaps you'll remember Duncan
for his immensely popular work,
"Gus The Great.” If not, perhaps
you’ve read a couple of other books
that rank among the top in their
style, "The Voice of Bugle Ann,”
or “Goodbye Mr. Chips.” All of
this is just another way of say-
ing that Duncan’s newest volume
is the kind filled with tender, hu-
man interest. It’s a family story,
the kind that everyone will enjoy.
We’ve placed Rachael L. Car-
son’s books in this group because
this comparatively little known
writer is doing something outstand-
ing in her field. She has taken
a story of nature, of natural things
. . .the sea. . .and she’s woven a
compelling and interesting bit of
narrative description. She scored
a hit with "The Sea Around Us".
Now she’s back with "Under the
Sea Wind.”
Have you been reading the crit-
ic’s praises ot Msgr. Fulton J.
Sheen’s story on the life of Mary?
If so, you’ll be glad to know that
a copy of “The World’s First
Love" is on the library shelves.
Then there's a biographical ser-
ies featuring the lives of the Brit-
ish royal family. Marian Craw-
ford has authored "Tjie Little
Princess," "The Crawfie,” “ Moth-
er and Queen,” and "Elizabeth the
Queen.’ i
If your taste runs to poetry you
may revel in the discovery of a
brand new author, Arthur Lake.
His narrative poem, in book len-
gth form, "Christ Unconquered”
looks like a real success in that
field.
Of course we’ve missed the
name< of many of the books in
this series of articles. We’ve only
attempted to touch the various
fields to let you know that the
world of literature, in all it's
beauty can be found at your lib-
rary.
If we’ve missed your taste, just
ask Mr*. Ragsdale, the librarian.
She’ll have plenty of the books
you like.
350 Hindu Pilgrims
Die in Snowstorm
NEW DELHIJndia, Sept. 6 (AP)
—Survivors rraching New Delhi
say that more than 350 Hindu pil-
grims were killed and many oth-
ers are missing, after being caught
by a snowstorm 16,000 feet up in
the Himalaya mountains.
The survivors said many of the
victims died of exhaustion and
the fate of others who hid from
the storm in caves is unknown.
The pilgrims had gone to a festi-
val held annually in a part of the
Himalayas regarded as the seat of
the Hindu Gods.'
Walter Huston on
'Forward America'
KLVT Attraction
The immortal Dolce of Walter
Huston will be featured on the
dramatic, new “Forward America”
show, begiitnig today at 6 p. m.
over KLVT.
This never-to-be-forgoten star of
the stage, screen and radio, lists
a long string of triumphs — in-
cluding Kurt Weill’s ‘ JCnickerboc-
ker Holiday1'' — Eugene O’Neill’s
“Desire Under The Elm’ '—E. Nic-
holson’s "The Bgrker” — Kil-
boume Gordon and Chester De
Vonde’s "Kongo’ — and many
others — for which ripr received
high praise from all fhc critics.
His successes afoo fnlude the
starring role in shch distinct
Broadway success as the famous
for which he received, from the
New York Film Critics, an award
for the best male performance
for the year. Undoubtedly, the
greatest high point of his career
was when he was presented with
an Academy Award for his re-
markable performance in “Trea-
sure of Sierra ‘ Madro.” He re-
fil critics for this portmrayal,
which was described as "nothing
short of agnificcht.’t One of the
top motion picture magazines vot-
ed Huston the best film performer
of the year for this tsame picture.
His most recent film — ’The
Furies” — co-starred him with
Miss Barbara Stanwyck. In all, he
has acted in more than 50 motion
pictures.
In addition to the Well-loved
voice of Walter Huston, the "For-
ward America’ ’show presents such
new stars as. Miss Susan Reed—
the New Worid Singers — the
"Forward America” Orchestra —
and many others.
During World War n the rail-
way passenger industry provided
the service that handled 97 per
cent of all organized domestic
movements of military personnel.
Tony Curtis, Piper Laurie
Star in 'Son of Ali Bobo'
%
i
.Jit
’’itM
i Quite a few movie stars of yes-
teryear and today can attribute
their success in large measure to
the magic of good old Ali Baba.’
The most recent to come under
this spell are Tony Curtis and
Piper Laurie now starring in Uni-
versal-International’s Technicolor
"Son of Ali Baba," opening to-
day at the Wallace Theatre.
The adventures of the fabled Ali
Baba have been presented on the
screen by such other movie greats
as Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Maria
Montez, Jon Hall, .Sabu, Conrad
Vekh. June Duprez and even Wil-
liam Boyd of ■'Hopalong” Cassidy
fame.
It was a Technicolor spectacle
with an eastern Mediterranean
setting in the time of Ali Baba, a
,,4fflm called "The Prince Who Was
A Thief" that elevated young Cur-
tis and Miss I.auric to stardom
and caused studio executives to
team them again in “Son of AH
Baba."
The late Maria Montez, Jon
Hail and Sabu achieved stardom in
old Universal’s “Arabian Nights"
and “Ali Baba and the Forty
Thieves,’ a decade ago.
During the twenties Bill Boyd,
never dreaming of one day being
the famous “Hoppy," and Louis
Wolheim cashed in on the majk-
of All’s and boosted themselves
up the ladder of stardom by ap-
pearing in "Two Arabian Knights.”
Almost 30 years ago Doug Fair-
banks, Sr., reached a high point
in his starring career with his
"The Thief of Bagdad ”
So while ottzor stars may object
to period picture* In which they
wear turbans and pantaloons, Tony
Curtis and Piper Laurie welcome
such a spectacle as "Son of Ali
Baba,” knowing there’s magic In
them thar scimitars and veil*.
And the strangest part of this
story is that there never was such
a person as Ali Baba, of course
He was just somebody’s dream
figment, which gives Ihis tale a
more MollywoodMi touch.
