COvPOH'i PRESUME WNU Service) m By KATHLEEN NORRIS T IS the penalty of loving a large family group that sometime^ ydu have to hurt somebody's feelings. Sometimes you have to tell Bill's wife that because Sarah and her boys are coming down for the weekend there won't be a spare bed. Sometimes you have to indicate to dear little Patricia that because Jean is going to have only one bridesmaid she naturally wants her sister to be that one and so cuts out Cousin Patricia. Sometimes y§&»- tactfully have to inform darling sfensitive Mother that you took the rug back to Brown's and changed it for a kitchen table. More than that, sometimes as chil- • dren grow older, follow their own destinies, find their own work and mates and homes, they have to take stands that to the old people seem .Unfeeling and inconsiderate Many £ dutiful daughter puts off her martriage because she is needed at jiome; puts it off So long that her young man drifts away to somebody else. Many a son goes on Supporting parents, who could perfectly well support themselves, until the years when he could have carved out a happy life for himself have gone by. And believe me, a withered little complacent mother hanging on a big son's arm is a very poor substitute for a fine, loving young wife and a houseful of Children. Here is the problem of a good daughter who finds herself faced for the second time with the difficulty of breaking away from home. Tied to Mother. "1 am 34," writes Ann Rogers, "and have two children, Betsey who is nine and Philip, six. My husband seemed when I married him to be a trustworthy person, but he proved to be anything but that. As my mother is not very strong and my father retired many years ago, it was a condition of my marrying at all that I live at home, and with the exception of my honeymoon and a few summer weeks each year, I have had my own old room all my life. Mother had nice rooms fixed for Phil and me, and I was glad to give up office work and devote myself to housekeeping and to my chiljdren as they came along. Phil prospered and finally at a bargain bought a nice house, but at that tittle my father became ill and died, and during his long illness and after his death I could not leave my mother. We had been married about ten years when Phil left mte absolutely without warning, got a divorce and married his office assistant. This blow shattered me for awhile, I had very little money and my baby was not yet four. But last year I got my job back, and as my mother - had an opportunity to sell her old place advantageously, we moved into a small cottage she owns and get along very comfortably. ^ /'Last year Phil was killed in a motor accident, and I went back to office work; in the course of that work I met a physician of means, in every way a wonderful man. We fell deeply in love and a few weeks ago he asked me to marry him. He is 44, and as far as war service is concerned has been placed on the 'indispensable' list, as he is head of a large public hospital and lectures to undergraduate students at the university. Which Road to Take? "George wants me to marry him at once, bring my children with me --he really loves and understands thftm. and thev love him, and take ONE FOR ALL Those who are lucky enough to be born into a large family have the advantage of companionship missed by those who must grow up alone. But they also have the disadvantage, if you choose to call it that, of having to learn very early to compromise. They must often sacrifice what they want for something that is better for all. Giving up a chance to see the last thrilling chapter of "Deadeye Dan" to take care of little sister is a major childhood tragedy. But it makes so much easier the process of growing into a generous, unselfish adult. over the management of nis own home out in the country. , But he insists we leave my mother behind. He will see that she always has plenty, and of course I can come and go as I please, but he will not consent to her coming to us. He says that any one of a score of fit^e nursed will gladly rent the extra rooms in my mother's house, which is across the street from the big hospital. But when I only suggested this plan, my mother was so agitated and angered that she told me not to allow him to enter the house again. I am distracted between the fear of losing the man I love and respect, and destroying my mother's last happiness in life, for she is not a club or card-playing or even church-going woman, her one child has been her world, and if' I take away her grandchildren an<f myself she will very probably never forgive me, or wish to see us again. "Please tell me where hny duty lies and what my course ought to be." Here, Ann, is a perfect example of the predatory parent. Your mother never gave you a brother or sis-* ter, a background of old friends fiftd a circle of young ones. She kept you selfishly her own, trying to shut away everything that she could not control and share in your life. When young love came to you, she must make the conditions under which you might accept it; you sa> it was a condition of your marrying at all that you live at home, and ^ can imagine exactly who made that'stipulation. Now, old and cranky, and cut away from all the normal interests of age; books, friends, clubs, games, charities, war activities, having seen your first marriage wrecked because of her selfishness, she would calmly deny you another and a more promising union and condemn you to the position oft^a servant to her and to the children. Move to Home df Own, What you ought to do and what i know your good sense will prompt you to do, is to marry your Georgp quietly, paying no attention to the scolding and whining at home, movf your children into, a younger and more normal atmosphere in the new home, resent nothing, remember nothing disagreeable, constantly come to see your mother, bring the children in, and so W€:ar down her resistance and win her to, the new order of things in spite of herself. And when the time comes, Ann, and it comes fast, prepare yourself to treat your own children wi$h generosity and understanding. 'Get it through your head once and for all that young families don't like to have old men and old women quartered upon them. There are exceptions of course; t&eie are mothers whose services to sons' or daughters' families are simply indispensable; there are old fa .hers ar.d mothers who are the most beloved and essential members of the group.

However, many drivers are almost blinded by bright lights. Their eyes recover very slowly. The car may move several hundred feet before vision clears up. Drivers should remember that glare blindness increases with age, thereby increasing the hazards of night driving.
