salad making. WHO MADE FIRST SALAIY!

It was probably primitive man who made the first salad. Un- doubtedly he was tempted to sample the sweet grasses. putt- gent herbs and savory weeks that grew everywhere.

However. it was the Iiumalls who gave us our word for salad. which comes from the Latin ”sal". meaning salt. In ancient Rome. people sprinkled their gi-cons sim- lply with salt. and it was for many years the only dressing used.

The first recorded salads wcre made in ancient Egypt. The Egyp- gtians mixed oil. vinegar and spi- lces oi the Oricnt to flavor their lgreens. Later the Greeks adopted salads. using them as the final flouriah of the meal. aftcr dessert.

For centuries after that. salads were used mostly as a spring ionic. and were served with an oil-and vinegar dressing

It wasn't until lllf French nobili- ty took tip salads as a huhliy that the first great advance was made- the discovery of mayonnaise. The story goes that it was invented by the Due dc Richelieu about 200

-years ago in honor of a Frcnch l victory.

However, even as late as tlic Ile- ginning of this century. serving a salad was a pretty rare thing.

Finahcial Problems

Dear Mary Heworth: If I am in- conside ate about money. and have a wrong attitude towards my youngest daughter. 1 hope you will tell me. I am 60. non of a ten- ant farmer. and self--educated. which held me back for years: hence my savings are ve ry mea-

er.

Since 1946 my wife has gone in business. her salary is 1-3 the size of mine. In 1949 we jointly purchased an abandoned farm up- state. mostly as a recreation spot for our children - now all'grown and gone except the youngest. Lucy. who is 18.

-When Lucy was 17 I gave her a job in my office. and charged her a small sum weekly for room and board: but her play was enough to make some savings possible. After a year she quit her Job to find another. and !eft home as she felt I shouldnit charge her for board.

A few months later. when shr was out of money and in debt for board. her mother brought her home and paid her bills; and I

foun 'ler another job and didn't ch: her board. But soon she left me again. then quit that job i hasn't found another. 'T""'ee we: ago her mother brouglv iler bac lere. and is financinr her whllr she (Lucy! ttries" to find worl - mean hilt yr ding time on th beach and :- iicture shows ON DEFENSIVE

AGAINST FAMILY

We live in an apartment and I pay for rent. utilities and food. My wife spends only for her clothes: and for the last two years has refused to pay any state fed- eral income tax on our joint returns -e which costs me several

, hundred dollars annually. Nor will

she contribute a cent to farm tax. or for improvements to the house. My investment in the place is five times hers. yet she'd get half the proceeds if the property were sold.

So I ask: 1. How can I protect my investment. inasmuch as the farm is held in a joint deed? 2. Is it right for my 18-year-old dangli- ter to live off my daily labors when I am pushing 61? 3. Is it my exclusive burden to pay all bills. including income and proper- ty taxes?

IN THEORY. MAN PBOTECTS FAMILY

Dear A.C.: In theory. man and 'wife are partners. with different but equally necessary and equally valuable contributions to make to their common venture. The man is the head of the family and. as head. the family protector and provider. carrying the burden of financial support of wife and minor- age children. One might call him lthe public partner.

His wife is the private partner. carrying the domestic load of pro- duclng children and providing a home atmosphere. of which she is the heart and center. giving unity to the group.

One can't put a price tag on a good wife's worth in married team- work; sh .renders service of a range an quality that can't be bought: but which. conscientiously

after long marriage. a good help- mate has an indelible earned right to share substantially in her hus- band's worldly goods. if the quot. tlon arises. And this is so even if she hasn't been a dollar-invest -it in his savings program - if she has no lesser or "personal" in- come.

Seen in this light. your financial sharpness with your wife and youngest daughter is "wrong". in the sense of being compulsively defensive, rejecting and mlserly - tied in with an anxiety neurosis. having to do-with lifelong fear of want, I gather. I am sure you've long known that your attitude is inconsiderate and unlovlng mostly but. until lately, you hadn't real. ised that this attitude is re- duclng your personal life to ashes. It is only recently that youive he. gun to feel the awful loneliness of being treated as an enemy, by in- tlmatcs.
