inic Clinton Cheek is a remarkable farmer. For farmers are usually'not very talkative! But his prize contest letter should prod, other happy husbands into verbalizing their appreciation .via daily compliments. So send for the booklet below and launch your whole family on the stimulating "Compliment Club!" By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE E-513: ClintonR. Cheek is a South Carolina farmer. Recently he entered a prize contest dnd won the $100 top award., He Was to write a letter outlining what his wife was worth tor him. Since she had recently spent 10 days in the hospital, he had tried to do her work. So he outlined what he learned as to her helpfulness: "She gets iq> at 6 o'clock in the morning," he began, "and usually works till 10 o'clock at night. "During this 16-hour day, she cleans house, does the laundry, cooking, scriibbing, nursing and baby-sitting. "And if I am swamped with work in the field, she comes out to help me catch up, after which she goes back to her own work. "Six days per week at 16 hours each (plus 6 more on Sunday) amounts to 102 hours! "At $2 per hour, that totals $204, not counting 60 hours at time-and-a-half. "Counting her overtime, that would really mean $264 per week! "As a companion to me, she is worth more than all the money in the world. "And as the mother to our two children, her love is priceless. "As a housekeeper, she makes me feel like a king. "And she can't be beaten as a cook! "As a /Christian wife, she makes me feel very close to God. / "A Christian home is a real home and not just a place to live!" COMPLIMENT CLUB Clinton's attitude is shared by millions of other husbands. Alas, most of us don't verbalize our appreciation properly. We grunt and grumble when asked to do a minor chore around the house. And we stall around about washing the windows or putting up screens or raking leaves or even carrying out the garbage. Yet how many wives grumble about sewing on a button or fixing their husband's lunchbox. When a wife is unexpectedly taken to the hospital, many a husband wakes up fast to his great dependence upon her. And many husbands shed copious tears at her funeral when they might better have shown their high regard during the many previous years while she was still alive. Women want words! Especially a daily spoken bit of praise, whether about their cooking . or their new dress, their patience or loyalty and devotion. Women are the chief custodians of morality and music, religion and culture! For example, who plants the flowers around your house? Who visits the graves on Memorial Day with a bouquet? Who prods the kiddies into getting ready for Sunday School? Who encourages music lessons for your youngsters and sings in the church choir? Who faithfully attends the P TA meetings each month? So resolve to pay a sincere compliment DAILYtoyour wife! Do the same for your children! Send for my "Compliment Club" booklet, enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus , 20 cents, and raise your batting4 average as head of the household! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of/ his booklets.) v News Abqut Our Servicemen & Army Private First Class Dennis W.
