MAIL Bride of a Week @0f Interfering Mother-in-Law Dear Mary Haworth: I am a 8, a bride of a week, and so $opriien I can hardly write--and etter is my last hope of help for ny marriage. The problem is my nother-in-law, who does noth- ing ut try to run our lives. She has spent this last week inces- santl7 telling us what to do. If Fom doesn't jump when she 4napt het og she pars ii \nd says oesn't love her. he, if we don't comply with her wishes, she gets Tom on the tele- Phont and puts up such a fuss at le gives in to her like a baby. In gmeral she treats him as a child and he reacts like a child. I lwe Tom very much, as he Jovesme, and says he always will but 1 would give him an annul- mentif that would help. However, he desn't want it. I am under a fs care now for nervous aldown and if this tension keeps u pecple will be reading my cath notice soon. I can't stand much more. Tom is torn between his mother and ne and doesn't know which way A 0. He is 19 and enters the arm ces soon, and I would like if possible to get the blem settled e he leaves. y can't I explén to his mother that Tom and I ove each other--but she is breakig up our marriage if she doesn't stop crying. I think I am on the verge of hating her. Please help ne. I am desperate. R. S. IN PAIIC STATE Dear R.S.: It appears that Tom has maried a just like the 1 why married dear old dad-- borrtw the words of a senti- mental ong. You and his mother are twoof a kind, I judge from the pitck of vour wretched mutual gniagonim In family exchange. Each of you is anxious, possessive and competitive to a neurotic de- free in your affectional relation- ps. Your mother-in-law is truly fran- tic at ths time, involved in a panic stag due to inability to re- heself to her son's '"leav- ing" her, o give himself to a wife, in a new chapter of experience that tendd to terminate his need of a mothr's care. Her inalility to make a good transition fom mother to mother- w (newr an easy adjustment) 'gely die to the psychological ers of ignorance and imma- turity. Thee character constric- tions make jer meanly selfish and cowardly. Ir her childish darkness of mind, sk dreads and resists ay revolutinary changes in her valued relatiinships, lest the shake up deprive her, in whole or in part, of famliar prerogatives and pleasures aspciated with the old, order of thins. Faces Problem OFFERS INSIGHT Her '"'mother-knows-best" nagg- ing of Tom during the honeymoon week is a compulsive effort to persuade herself that nothing has changed between them, despite his marriage. Also it is a struggle to pEgvent the umbilical cord from ing severed. She wants to keep him tied and dependent. Further, she is trying childishly to elbow you aside, to "down" you in } regard, by uncivilly overruning your rights to privacy and respec- ted authoritative status in the new relationship. All-in-all, she is being a "mom'-who clutches her pro- geny fo tightly she strangles their gr A There is little if anything you can do to protect your marriage from her onslaughts, unless Tom supplies wise, firm leadership in teaching her to mind her own busi- ness. However, it will be some- thing of a miracle if he has the stamina and savvy to squelch her misconduct, inasmuch as most "moms" make mush of their sons, from the cradle up. The best ad- vice I can give you and Tom is to study Dr, Edward A. Strecker's book 'Their Mothers' Sons' (Lip- pincott) which points the way out of this and of pitfall. Jl.

CLEVELAND MYERS Almost any small object a baby from eight months to two years ets into his hand tends to go to fis mouth. It's a way he has of exploring and widening his exper- ience, and teething encourages his chewing things. Also, he finds it great fun to pick up small articles with his thumb and finger. Usu- ally, ueeze mushy things and through his fingers. Of course, he hardly has ac- quired enough aesthetic experience to cause any kind of mushy things to be revolting to him. Ao he may put such "ugly stuff" into his mouth. EATING EARTH ; It's not strange, therefore, that he should eat earth. If he is pretty carefully watched when he inclines to put all sorts of things into his mouth, he may, after a few more months, choose to desist from eéat- ing dirt. The wise mother, on see- ing him put dirt or any other for- ign material into his mouth, does not get excited, doesn't jerk away his hand, slap it or shriek "No" at him. She gently intercepts him and says '"No"' very calmly and quietly. However, I have seen a few young mothers very successfully teach the young child to avoid eating earth and similar materials by expressing great surprise, with such exclamations as to cause the youngster to be properly impres- sed. These exclamations are not rebukes, but may be colored with suggessions of laughter, and the y ster be may join er in repeating the exclam- ations. Now and then, a mother writes me of a child as old as two or three who "eats dirt." Sometimes she wonders if he does so for want of proper minerals his food doe: not supply. This might be possible. But every little earth-eater I have carefully studied has been slapped or shrieked at over a period of months by emotionally upset par- ents who thus explode only when they occasionally apprehend his earth-eating, which he can do at many other times without appre- h n. : MORE PRACTICAL WAY While a punishing scheme might work if there could be excep- tions, if the tot never could ea earth without instant physical pain, not many mothers could carry through such a plan. A more prac- tical way is to have some respons- ible person always with the young- ster when he might want to eat earth; to intercept and divert him calmly, never shrieking at him, jerking away his hand or slappin| it but quietly informing him i isn't good to eat. If your child just beginning to walk should toddle after you in the garden, it's well to watch him lest he pluck some leaves from sprayed plants from which he might get enough poison to be harmful. Also, we should train the older child not to eat fruit or veg etables from the garden till after they are washed. HOLL D L T Exclusive Showing at Hollywood Deals with Effect of New Tax By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP)--The pict- ure of the week, as far as Holly- wood is concerned, was a big studio production made for an exclusive audience of 25 people.

ERE better jo il A= i Insist on ()-(édar The ONLY Mops Unconditionally Guaranteed bers of the House of Representa- tives ways and means committee saw the film in Washington this week. The industry pitch was assemb- led by MGM boss Dore Schar; and his assistant, Herman Hoff- man. The whole project was car- ried out in a hush-hush atmos- phere, and the public will not see the finished product. "The picture was made to be shown to 25 people only," a spokes- man reported. 'The industry is making its pitch for repeal of the tax on a business basis. There will be no attempt to have people write their congressmen or apply any other public pressure." Apparently the picture had the desired effect. Solid support in Congress for the industry's stand are still some formidable hurdles ahead for the tax-cut measure. The film industry really sang the blues at the House hearing, revealing some hard facts for the first time. Among these was the report that 5,038 movie houses have closed since 1946. The rate of closings has been three a day, the industry reports, although the pace slacked to three a week after news of the. tax cut possibility. There is no doubting that the movie business is in bad shape, but the picture is not all black. The motion picture almanac estimates that 590 new film houses were built from 1948 to 1954. But the big jump came in the drive-ins. In 1948 there were 820 outdoor film theatres. The figure jumped to 3,483 in 1952. So although the hard-top theatre business has been ailing, the drive-ins have flourished. NO ARGUMENT HERE TIMMINS (CP)--The civic fath- ers have to deal with many pef- tions from property owners for sidewalks. The petitions are passed on to the town engineer for his ob- servations.

Mayonnaise would be delicious, d |too. Both of these dressings are excellent to keep on hand for gen- eral salad use, for they can be served just as they come from the jar or varied by the addition of other ingredients. Even though the dressing is part of the Peach-Pear Salad, you'll want to provide a bowl of extra salad dressing so that each per- son can help himself to more.

London Woman Visits Yugoslavia LONDON (AP)--A trim London housewife in her 50s is back home from the "biggest thrill in my life" -- a holiday in Communist Yugoslavia. .. fs Marjorie Mackendrick says sure a great many more tourists would take the i vaca- tion trail if they knew how easy it was. "You just get on the Tauern ex- press here in London," she said In an inerview, "and two days later you're in Belgrade. You don't even have to change." Mrs. Mackendrick said she found the Yugoslavs anxious to please their tourist visitors. Marshal Tito's government is striving hard to encourage a tourist industry to bring in much-needed foreign cur- rency. "It really is a lovely country," she said. "Belgrade has the air of a fine capital city. The Yugoslavs them- selves have to go short of many things, Coffee costs about $6 a THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, April 28, 1958 4§ pound, for instance, and a pair of nylons about as much. But for the tourist, the official exchange rate of 300 dinars to the dollar is quite liberal." Mrs. Mackendrick said she first thought of a Yugoslav vacation after she'd read a book about Marshal Tito's wartime partisans. To keep expenses down she decided to exchange hositality with a Yugoslav who wanted to visit Lon- don. Soon Danilo Gribic, a Bel- grade radio commentator, was spending a month at Mrs. Macken- drick's home in Chelsea. And Mrs. Mackendrick was on her way to stay with friends of his in Bel- grade. For many Yugoslavs, she said, life is drab. New clothes are be- ond the reach of most pockets. obody has his own car, Many families have no radio. But she found the Yugoslavs intensely patriotic and too proud to grumble about adversity. 'Stand-in' to Perform Centuries-old Rites At Coronation LONDON (Reuters) -- The Queen's decision to accept a sym- bolic embroidered glove from a 'stand-in' has saved a centuries- old Coronation tradition from ex- tinction. The 400-year-old custom of bes- towing the glove on the Monarch appeared doomed when officials ruled last year that an incorporated company could not take over the role from the lord of an ancient manor. Ever since the time of Henry VIII the Coronation ceremony has included the bestowal of the glove by the current lord of the manor of Worksop in Central England. Henry claimed the glove in return for granting the manor lands to the first lord. But the present incumbent, the Duke of Newcastle, joined the ancient manor with other lands and turned them into a corpora- tion. The duke himself has moved to Southern Rhodesia. Officials of the Court of Claims ruled that the corporation could not rform the function in the duke's place. Solution of the problem came when Lord Woolton, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was named April 22 to make the pre- sentation. Lord Woolton's duties as chancellor are largely honorary, but his job makes him available for special duties that cannot be properly assigned to other not- ables. ® Banishes perspiration odour © Stops perspiration moisture © Gives longer-lasting protection © Gentle to skin and clothing © Keeps you fragrantly dainty © Stays creamy-smooth in the jar JURY & LOVELL Cosmetic Counter 8 King E.
