Women 10° ALDWINCKLE WOMEN'S EDITOR DIAL 3-223) MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Suffering from Social Isolation Couple Seek Columnist's Advice Dear Mary Haworth: Finally I have picked up enough nerve to write your for advice, I am 32, my husband is 35 and we have been married 10 years. We have two children and have been very happy together. " However, , there "is one thing wrong. For some reason we aren't able to make friends. My sisters and brothers all have friends and 0 out every Saturday night; but t seems we just can't go any- where to get acquainted. And re- cently it happens that without any advance warning, I find myself baby-sitting for six children at my house, Saturday evenings. My husband and I aren't ugly or dumb. We both are high school graduates; and Tom has his own vusiness and makes a comfortable living for us. I just can't stand it any longer when people say, 'It's too bad you don't have friends and could go out once in a while." BLAMES SISTERS-IN-LAW My sisters-in-laws are very sel- fish. They never ask us out with them; yet I can't be mean and refuse to take care of their chil dren so long as I am staying home with my own. Please try to dis- PARTY SET guise my letter, as every member of the family always reads your | column--and I don't want them to know just how I feel. Vi P.S: Tom feels so badly that] . he actually cries when they £ out | and we sit home. If you could help | us, please, we would appreciate! it so much, C. C. | WOMAN PARKS PROGRAM | § Dear C. C.: In our country, where | § men are traditionally the wage ° earners and women the homekecp- | | ers, it has always been considered the wife's business, in a well bal- anced ma e, to take care of the family's social position. She is ex- | pected to be resourceful, interested {and enterprising in contriving op- portunities for herself and husband to ge places and meet people so- cially--as a means of finding and ting friends. iAs I get the picture, you've been too shy towards the public, and too dependent in relation to your husband, to make the necessary social effort. Your mute indigna- | tion in dealing with your brothers' and sisters' alleged selfishness, as regards Saturday nights, suggests a "backward" disposition. So does your opéning statement that you had to "get up nerve" to ask ad- vice. And equally timid is your | shamefaced desire to conceal your | authorship of this letter from your family. If you have a problem in which | the family's actions figure to your detriment (from your viewpoint), | why shouldn't they be ormed | about it? If you submit to injjus- | tice (as you see it) without frank | protest, you are somewhat to | blame for your discomfort; you can't charge it all to the other cultive FRESH TASTE OF SPRING IN LEMON Every homemaker has her | pie.

Look, too, for new spheres of activity which you feel will further you career or increase your personal prestige. Where personal and social mat- ters are concerned, the vibra- tions are. also favorable. Show hospitality to those you love and respect and to those who have proved their friendship in the past. Avoid association, however, with those who irritate your or those whose motives are open to ques- tion.

Most state legislatures have far more pressures on them for ap- propriations for roads than for pub- lic schools. Right now, states, there are movements afoot to increase the tax on gasoline and earmark it for roads.
