Too M... Parental Devotion

Overdolnq Visits To Newlyweds Annoy: Couple Who Crave Privacy

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I have been married for a little over six months. We love each other dearly and would like to be alone together once in a while. but ours is the problem of the overly- devoted family. Mother and Father come to see us almost every eve- ning and insist on our having dinner with them every Sunday and spending the entire day with them. -

Now, of course, I realize that it is because my parents love us that they want to be with us all the time, but my husband is fed up with ‘ my people. How can we tell them, gently and tactfully so as not to hurt. them. that \ve would like to be by our- selves a little?

A COUPLE WHO LONG FOR A LITTLE PRIVACY

ANSWER: It would take the finesse of a hlgii- rsnking diplomat to convey to your parents the informa- tion that you were suffering from an overdose of their society and could do with less. A mere hint would not They would simply have to be knocked down with a club to

suffice. make them even suspect thnt they were in the way.

And it would break their hearts to find it out, for human vanity is such that it is impossible for us to conceive that we could ever borc

anybody. or that they could grow tired of us. Parents especially never dream that they are not as interesting to their children as their children are to them. or that their children do‘ not enjoy their society as much as they do their children's. ‘

As your physician thinks over the past 10 years, you would naturally believe he would have in mind the wonderful work of saving lives now being done by penicillin and the sulfa drugs. Diseases that were practically all fatal and others in which but a small percentage re- covered. are now successfully bat- tled by these antibiotics, as they are called, because they kill the organ- isms which formerly caused death. Two other antibiotics, stcptomycin and aurtmmysin, have been recently added to man's defences.

It may ccme as a surprise to many to learn that your physician is thinking more about the blood coursing through your blood vessels as he realizes—as he did not realize jus-L 1O years ago-—-tha.t blood is io- day's most amazing medicine. “It has become more of s. miracle worker than penicillin."

In a pamphlet, “Bloods Jviaglc Flor All." issued by the Public Af- fairs Committee Incorporated, a

New York City. Alton L. Blakeslec states that blood already does more lifesaving jobs than any one of our wonderful drugs. 1f, on a single day.

The sun broke through a quiet misty veil of grey fog this morn- ing, one which hed been hovering above the stream and wrapping the old mill i‘n the depths of the valley in an extendedrest. This was soon broken, however, by the wheels! of industry after a farmer's sleigh had drawn up st the door. Roads along which grlsts to be crushed into “chop“ must be hauled these deyl are tedious trails both to driver and driven, as indeed is all travelling whether it be near or far afield. What a lengthy tiresome interval now lies between this neighbor- hood and the city, a distance which some of the less cautious are able to reckon in minutes, when the warmer seasons finally set their dry seal on the land! Rob made the trip today with another farrrier from that district. by tractor and trailer, their common ‘interest to get their fat hogs to market. O , O O

There was an era of marketing when a delay of a few days or longer was not important, since it did not contrive to reduce the sel- ler‘s gain, but now regardless of winds and weathers and roads, once the required weight has been reach- ed it is in his interest to get his hogs away. It is perhaps not a far fancy to predict that to overcome the handicap of indifferent and sometimes i passable Spring roiids. planes will one day be used to transport the farmers‘ fat cattle and hogs to the receiving plants, these being set down conveniently on our own landing-strips.

O I I

Should this time come to Alder- lea in our day, it would doubtless be with some apprehension that we should view the take-off, and ob- viously relieved that all had gone well, James would be sure to re- mark as the machine faded into the lofty distance: “Well I've taken and sent many a hog to market in my time, by truck-wagon along good or frozen roads. by sleigh across the ice, and then by truck -—-and what e wonderful way we thought that was! But there's what I call good service!" O

There was some progress made in building the cupboard in the

living-room of the house across the lane. though presently there

came a delay which awaited Rob's return with added material from the city. That was the opportune time (or me to take Mr. D. off to

a personal and most interesting

project, though our farmers are in-

clined to make light of it. We had

Mr. D's advice and skill at our dis-

posal in fitting up living quarters

for our turkey fiock-to-be. It ap-

pears now that to have any mea-

sure of success in raising these

fascinating birds they must be kept

in confinement, after the manner of

fox-farming and it was to this end

that presently several of the fam-

ily directed attentions. Various perplexing problems arose in con- nection. “Now". Mr. D. questioned. inspecting the dilapidated structure about to undergo repairs, ‘about hoyv many birds will there be alto- gether? What I mean is how much space will be needed?" According to n fixed habit, I looked to James, who is much better at finding such’ answers. He laughed merrily. "It won't need to be too large at all, for Ellen'll do well tp ltill have the old ones by l;all.l"

And so it was that in many a way our day has gone busily-the farmers taken up with their work at ‘the barns. increased tdday of necessity by the arrival of new litters in the piggerles. There was a robbing of a feminine "Peter's” too large lamily to give to.a con- temporary "Paul" of lesser increase, an undertaking which has often been carried out successfully at Alderlea, but which must be watch- ed closely st the feeding intervals during the early infant stage to see that all the small ones are enjoying like favors ‘in the matter of food. Grand-daughter of all our feminity was allowedthe privilege of look- ing in upon these recent arrivals. but not before she had promised to observe a strict silence durlnl her brief visit. . .
