8 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, February 19, 1962 Wife Backs Physicist Husband In Scientific Peace Research By EDNA BLAKELY TORONTO (CP)--In a world | of growing emphasis on materi alism, Dr. and Mrs, Norman Z Alcock are doing their best not to keep up with the Joneses. They're no longer a two-car family and they have converted part of their home into an apartment as a way of saving money since Dr. Alcock quit his lucrative job as a nuclear physi- cist to devote himself to scien- tifie peace research. How does Pat Alcock feel about it? "It's been good for us and good for the children. For one § thing, we discovered you can cut 3 your standard of living in half ing pretty well by standards in many parts of the world." CUT ALLOWANCE At one point allowances for the children--three boys and a girl from four to 1l--were cut but were reinstated when the Alcocks thought they might be- come too money-conscious for the lack of it. On television Dr. Alcock ven- tured the opinion that the chil- dren were benefitting. When he arrived home one of his sons said: 'It's all right having this standard of living but you don't need to talk about it." When Dr. Alcock decided to) take three months off to do) some thinking and reading, his| wife readily concurred. When he} extended it another three! months and then another six) months she still agreed. hone During that time Dr. Alcock} wrote a booklet, The Bridge of| Reason, in which he laid out aj} blueprint for peace researc' stitutes. which would bring sci-|" entific thinking to bear on the| problems of banishing war. That was 2% years ago and the Alcocks have been making do without a regular salary ever since. Mrs. Alcock hopes her husband will begin within the next six months to receive a} regular salary through his work with the Canadian Peace Re- search Institute. In the mean- time they have been = 'getting along with the help of friends." NO CREAM Economizing has meant. giv-| ing up big and little things. | They no longer buy the cream Dr. Alcock likes for his morn- ing porridge. They have given up trips and cut their clothing budget. Sometimes it has meant bor- rowing money to buy groceries or letting bills slide for a few) weeks. The couple met in 1946 when Pat was a secretary with the National Research Council at Chalk River, Ont. They were; married in 1948. After moving to Toronto where her husband was direc- tor of engineering with Cana- dian Curtiss-Wright, they built oo house in nearby Oak- ville, This proved to be a provident move. "We had made the up- stairs very soundproof so we wouldn't hear the children."| When they decided to rent part} of the house, the apartment was made in the soundproof area.| Mrs. Alcock has been involved with the search for peace even longer than her husband. She is vice - president of Voice of Women, an. organization that now backs the idea of peace research institutes. SIZES 3 TO 11 By ANNE ADAMS By request!

(CP ROSES EVERYWHERE Photo)) | -- ree |e | ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I did a terrible thing five weeks ago and can't get it off my mind. I've lost 17 pounds and I'm a nervous wreck. I'm 38, happily married and the mother of three children. Money has always been scarce and I wanted desperately to have a new dress for a party. I couldn't' afford anything in silk so I went to a department store to look at some inexpen- sive cottons. I tried on a cute one at $6.98 and it was a per- fect fit. Unconsciously I put my coat on over the new dress and began to walk out. Suddenly I realized what I was doing. But it seemed too easy, so I kept walking, knowing my old dress was on the hanger. A house detective stopped me just outside the door. All I could do was cry. Since I had never done anything like this before they let me go. Now I'm so ashamed I can't sleep at night. My religion has Let Past Mistake Be a Future Lesson extremely generous and you have much to be grateful for. Dear Ann Landers: Am I .old- fashioned or just nuts? What happened to those twin virtues "a dability" and "c a: tion?" Friends and business associ- ates break dates at the last minute with the lamest excuses you ever headr. Often I've sat staring at my wrist watch (even shaking it occasionally) for 25 or 30 minutes. The offending party waltzes in unconcerned, without a word of apology. People promise to phone and then they proceed to forget it. They offer to drop something in the mail and it never arrives. I know precious few individuals whpse word means anything. Is this part of our declining society -- a symptom of the moral decay that philosophers are concerned about? Or did people behave this way 100 years ago?

There now are seven such coaches left in East Berlin and the owners say that, although e thousand. other. things which can make a wedding expensive.

Now, Beethoven usually is played. There is nothing to stop the white dress and veil if she wishes, but many East German girls choose an ordinary silk dress for the occasion. The marriage ceremony it- self is carried out by an official f the local registrar's office who makes a short speech tell- ing the couple of the "high thics" of socialist marriage and their "close unity with our workers' and peasants' state." many couples would still like to use them instead of plain taxis, the latter are less expensive and so generally preferred. SOCIALIST STYLE One reason church weddings and white wedding coaches no longer play the part they used to in a young couple's life is the introduction of "socialist'"' wedding ceremonies. Since the first '"'socialist"| wedding was publicly cele-| brated in 1958 in an East Ber-| lin factory, young couples have} decided to celebrate their wed-| ding day in their factory's cul- tural hall instead of the family circle. | Wherever "socialist" ' wed | To keep a typewriter fromjfor food and drinks for and Cap de la Madeleine, sched-|skidding as you type, place it|/party, but also for the band/) uled-- for for_completion dings are held in East Ger-| |many's state-owned factories or! joffices, the state pays not only) the} flowers, and all thelj = Save Now! 20% OFF ALUMINUM AWNINGS DURING WINTER "Where Satisfaction Is Gueranteed" LES EVENISS SALES SERVING OSHAWA OVER 9 YEARS 15 PRINCE ST. 725-4632, Eve. 723-2707 transport, Falcon Fordor Sedan ... one of Ford of Canada's fine cars, built in Canada You pick a winner any compact. you Pick a Falcon!
