MARY HAWORTIPS MAIL

Forbidden To Marry Disturbed ByProposaI

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am a girl 21. and I've never been close to anyone except my parents

discuss this problem with them -- so I hope with all my heart you can help me.

My mother absolutely forbids ms to marry Bill, the sweetest boy I have ever known. who is in business with his father, doing hard manual work. Dad gets along fine with Bill. but mother has never approved of him. simply because he hasn't much money. She says he isn't good enough for me. and that I couldn't be happy with him. as I've always had everything. She says if I marry Bill I never can come to her house again, nor can I take my clothes and jewelry with me.

I feel ready to give up every- thing fcr Bill. even though it would be difficult, adjusting to his way of life-working hard and not

going out much. However, it scares me just a little-as I grow mother knows what it is to be

poor. and I don't. She comes of a poor family and I've always felt, from the way she talks. that she likes -Dad only becasse he has money. She drinks a lot and never seems happy to me, a!- though she has everything.

leoret Dates Lead fe This

I am still seeing Bill, secretly, and I think Dsd knows - but doesn't say anything. Last night, Bill urged an affair. saying it wasn't wrong as we love each other. I love him, but I can't agree; and after a long argu- ment I finally said I never want- ed to see him again. We parted on that note. Today I have been mis- arable; and I literally don't know what to do. I can't quite tell you how much I love him.

I've started to call him many times today (he can't call me)- but I didn't. because I think we've reached an impasse. I know that I've either got to marry liim or lferget him I I can. Please tall me what to do. Would it be wrong to marry him? V '

S. Hambly, best man;

The wedding took place on January 19 at 2 p.m. at Pownal Church. of Norma Mae. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Jones, Pownal. to Robert Beverly. son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. G. Hambly. 128 Spring Park Road. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. T. R. Goudge.

The church was decorated for

marriage Bill manifests poor- quality character. His motives are complex-and not admirable.

If he can't be your husband. he wants possession on any terms. regardless of penalty to you-a shortsighted demand that is a hall-mark of infantile selfishness. in the circumstances. Moreover. in unconscious anger at your mother's adament stand. he is compulsively disposed to test his power by trying to win your con- sent to a dishonorable intimacy. partly to turn the tables on her. who thinks he's "not good enough" for her daughter.

Obviously you and Bill are planes apart. nsychologlcally-a Iundamental difference that wid- ens the gap between your accus- tomed way-of-life and his. To com- pensate for the disadvantages of his comparative poverty. Bill would have to be a superior per- son iu essence-and, unfortunate- Iy. he just isn't. '

No Happiness Without Growili

Ilia may be wonderfully sweet, as you say; but he is limited in social vision. and weak on the score of moral caliber. which augurs that you would sink help- lessly to his level. as his wife. inasmuch as he falls short of your plane. And I foresee no lasting or worth-while happiness for eith- er party. in a relationship that automatically precludes mutual aid In the field of growth.

Thus my advice is. don't marry Bill; and don't drift into the guilty confusion of an affair. which would worsen frustration for both of you. You write from a somewhat backwoods region; and as a help in forgetting Bill. also to put temptation behind. why not enroll in a good college over the horizon. I take it your parents can afford the expense; and you aren't too old to be a freshman.

In a. pamphlet titled "So You Think It's Love!" author Ralph G Eckert. specialist in parent education. says (see page 30): "The more a boy loves a girl In a mature and wholesome way. the more he is likely to exercise emotional control before mar- rage . ." Which suggests that Bill loves himself more than you at present. Write to 22 East 38th Street. New York City 15, enclos- ing site, if you want the pamph- let.

Everyone Gels

Measles

Now that the holiday season is behind us. the measles season is upon us.

Usually a severe outbreak of measles occurs every two or three years. since it takes a year or so to build up a new population of susceptiole children.

Many Cases Expected

In Chicago. we can expect from 25.000 to 30.000 cases of measles to be reported each three years.

So common is this disease con- sidered. many parents have be- come careless about it and treat it as only a slight ailment of their children.

Yet measles may be a danger- ous dlsease for babies because they are much more likely to de-

velop complications such as pneumonia. A Universal Problem

Just about everyone is going

to get measles sometime. Aver- age age of the victims now is from five and a half years old. More than 95 per cent of our adult population has bad it. Luckily. one attack means you uau " are immune from an- other.

If you mothers have had mea- sles, your baby probably will be immune to an attack for the first three to six months of his life. After that. however. he is highly susceptible.

If your baby has been exposed to measles. perhaps through a brother or sister. for instance. the doctor, as a rule. thinks it would be a good idea to have him given an injection of gamma globulin. This will either protect him from catching the megglgg

cene MOI January Wedding

The bride's sister. Hilda. was bridesmaid. She wore a floor- length gown of blue net over taf- feta. Her bouquet was of pink roses and white baby 'mums.

Mr." John S. Hambly was best man. and the ushers were Mr. Allison Mulch and Mr. Edgar Jones.

Following the ceremony a re-

for from two to three weeks or make an impending attack a mild one.

Any child between the ages of four and 35 months with an acute or chronicle disease should be protected from the case of mea- sles with gamma globulin.

The ay ptoms of measles are typigal. If your child has it, he will first become drowsy. irri- table and seem to be developing a cold. Then his eyes become in- flamed and he will avoid bright light. He (will have a running nose. sneeze repeatedly and de- velop a backing cough.

Within another day or two his temperature will mount to 100 or 101. After the third day a rash of blotchy. reddish-purple spots appear. first on his face and then all over his body.

lllgh Temperature

By this time his temperature may be up to about 103 to 105 degrees.

Above all, you must now keep him from catching cold. Keep him in bed in a warm. well ven- tilated room until at least a week after his temperature has re- turned to normal. Keep the room temperature between 68 and 72 degrees both day and night.

The room doesn't have to be dark. but don't have it brightly lighted.

You can sponge him with a di- lute solution of sodium bicarbon- ate to help ease the itching.

And. of course. call your doc. for. With antibiotics he can usu- ally prevent development of any serious complications.

Can Lose 20 Pounds By Easter

Having a definite goal to work . ,toward helps a dieter burn up ex-

cess tat on schedule. The incen- tive sparka enthusiasm.

Last February. an overwellhl who had been warned by III! doctor to reduce without delay. picked up the paper and read the promise that any overweight who started that day could be It pounds lighter by Easter . . and without going hungry. she wrote later that she had been highly skeptical since she was al- ways hungry and never able to stick with a diet. The day before Easter, she weighed in on the doc- tor'a scales N pounds lighter! Any overweight who would be happy to weigh 3) pounds less. tune in here . . .

One pound of body fat has a fuel value of 3,500 calories that takes the water content of the fat into account. The rats of weight loss depends of course on .he number of stored calories burned for energy. and this is set by your daily calorie deficit. That may sound technical. It's simply this: if you normally use 2,100 calories a day and you eat only 1,100 calories. then nature will draw on body fat for 1000 calories a day. if you stay on that diet for one week. you will burn 7000 calories in body fat. which fig- ures 2 pounds ' '0.k ass.
