OMEN 'MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL With Six Months Woman Ponders Dear Mary Haworth: I have been informed by my doctor that 1| have six months or less to live. Years ago when our children were small my husband insisted that I sign a will leaving everything to him. His arguments were many and, much to my later regret, I signed the will, At the time, of course, I trusted him and his gen- erosity. We have considerable property |disi now, and I should like for my share ¥ to the children. It is about ing a new will that I wish advice. When .I speak of the old will, or of making a new one, husband acts like a mad- man. He threatens all sorts of reprisals against the children if I make a new will. All our life together, have been just as my husband wants them. But of all the difficulties, the thing that bothers me most is that the children didn't have their chance at college -- as any child this age should have. Instead y were put to work immediately with no training whatever. I helped my husband build up business, and gave him fin- ancial aid to start, a fact he never mentions (you can sense the burt there). I've always let him bully me, but I'd like to stand on my own feet about this will. Will you please advise me; and will say something, too, about what you would do if fold you had six "nonths to live? -- R.R. LEGAL EXPERT CONSOLES Dear R.R.: May I commend you on the moral health and strength of character manifest in your com- posure, as you ask help in putting your life in order. Evidently the spiritual discipline of living with a despot husband has earned you She grace of fortitude in facing ae unknown, as yet beyond our Now, about the will you'd like fo make, leaving your property to the children, just what is your worry? Is it your idea that haven't the authority to take h a step your husband's to Live | Change of Will knowledge and endorsement? I've talked with two specialists in law, who know about probate rulings in your jurisdiction, and their views are quite reassuring. It isn't clear what property you have but, in any case, your hus- band is entitled to one-third of it as his dower share, after your death, whether or not you leave a will. But, beyond that, you may ispose of your estate as you see fit, leaving the bulk to your chil- dren if you choose. All that is necessary, my consultants say, is to have your last will and testa- ment "properly executed." To properly execute your will, these advisors say, you must know the legal effects of the word used--as for example, "I leave al my property of every kind in equal shares to my children." And the instrument must be signed hy you in the presence of two rational adult witnesses, who thereupon af- fix their signatures, after you have identified the document to them as your last will and testament. THE SPIRITUAL LIFE Your lawyer may insert a speci- fic clause to say, previous wills made by me are hereby re- voked." And, for safekeeping, the will may be filed immediately with THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW Despite anticipated opposition, try something new in your job or h hold, manag t this day. New methods take the mono- tony out of necessary chores and frequently revive an enthusiasm leading to gredter achievement. Avoid the possibility of friction, however, by letting others do the talking. You concentrate on ac- tion. During the evening hours, en- joy the companionship of others and keep eyes and ears alert for suggestions and opportunities they may make available to you. Do- mestic matters, cultural interests and commuprity projects are all under beneficent rays. Plans made for travel during this period should culminate successfully. ¥ tomorrow is your birthday, the months ahead promise much in the way of satisfactory prog- ress if you follow conservative lines.

Conserve cash now be- cause early 1954 promises new op- portunities which may require a financial outlay to insure success- ful handling. There is a possibility that you will travel during the next month; also indications that you may be called upon to sign some legal papers.

Not content with things as they are, each year at houseware shows they come through with a quan- tity of new ideas and improve- ments. One thing is pretty evident and that is, the increasing use of color in the kitchen. The white kitchen that looked like a laboratory is on the way out. Even mops ave cheerfully colorful and soon will be made in lime, lemon and white, as well as deeper shades. Colorful plastic mops are coming too. RUBBER ACCESSORIES Then there are new kitchen rub- ber "accessories in such exotic shades as coral and chartreuse. The line includes appliance pro- tector mats that can be cut to fit any surface. Color has even in- vaded washday with plastic clotheslines in cheerful green, blue and yeMow.

CLEVELAND MYERS I shall never forget a short visit #0 a high school in Erie, Penn- sylvania, some years ago As 1 recall, the principal told me there were about 800 students there. But what impressed me most was that as I walked with him through the halls he spoke to every so many students be- tween classes, addressing them al- ways by their names.

HEALTH TIP Mother, pass these health tips along to your youngsters if they're eating lunch at school each day. Tell them te take a short rest be- fore eating, especially right after strenuous exercise. Remind them to wash those hands after handling pencils and erasers, even if they do 'look' clean. Warn against trad- ing foods with seat-mates. Little germs are easily passed this way. What's more -- you've planned that lunch as a complete meal and you want it to stay that way!

They are able to address each child by his first namé, at least by the end of the second or third day. One wishes it were possible for every regular teacher is the grades to learn her students' names by the end of the first week. SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS Having spent some years teach- ing at the various grade levels, and being a parent and grand- parent, let me venture a few sug- dents' names. It will help you if tant as learning early your stu- gestions to the elementary teach- er. Nothing else can be so impor- you use each child's name at every r ble opportunity and names of nearly all their student as you do." J "Yes," he replied, "and that's something that always bothers me. I do so.wish they would work harder at it." AN ESSENTIAL Of course, it's not easy for a high school teacher, who must teach a total of several hundred students, to learn all their names. Yet any person smart enough to teach in high school could learn all his students' names if he made it the first essential of his job. IN LARGE CLASSES To be sure, some special teach- ers of the upper grade? must teach a number of classes of chil- dren, perhaps as many as some high school teachers. But we cer- ta expect the regular teacher of a single class to know her chil- dren's names soon after school be- gins. In this respect some elemen- tary teachers are truly ,wonder- encourage your pupils in group discussions to address one an- other by name. Some names, "especially family names, will be unfamiliar to you and often hard to pronounce. In private, ask the child with such a name to help you with the pro- mipiation, Call the roll daily for the' first few weeks. the time re- quired will be well spent. Be care- ful never to smile or make un- kind remark on saying a name that strikes you as strange. Should other children laugh, rebuke them. No name is funny when we re- alize how much a part of a per- son his name is. Of course, you will do more than know each child's name You should also learn about his par- ents and other loved ones. You will best acquire this information as you make each child feel you gar about him and those close to mm.
