Dear Three P’s:
Sbfhe-tittle ,ago my wife came
across your column and was in
terested hr your approach to
various problems. She suggest
ed that I write to you about our
prtAlem. I am in a business
Which can be carried on from
any place in the eastern part of
" the country, with an occasional
tripi + We live in an apartment,
fairly expensive; we have two
yotuig children. My wife is be
ginning to object to being -an
eleventh floor cliff dweller and
has suggested that we move to
a small community. Do you
have arty suggestion as to this
and what is the social life?
—Lemuel
Dear Lemuel: . t
It all depends upon what your
wife means by a small communi
ty. If your wife means suburbia
thait is one thing; if she means
a small community away from
and not tied to the economic and
social life of a large city, that
is another thing. The shifting and
pressures of increasing popula
tion in cities is forcing people
to move to the surrounding areas
of all large cities. It is predict
ed that in a comparatively short
period of time the area from
Boston to Baltimore will be •one
mass of industry and people.
Suburbia of today is entirely dif
ferent from suburbia of thirty or
forty years ago. Suburbia of
. ye&rs ago was an attractive area
in which to live away from the
hustle, bustle and tension of city
life, and was always within
reach of the cultural advantages
of a city. The situation today is
somewhat different; due to in
come taxes, the cost of mainten
ance and the inability find
adequate help, the large estates
are being cut up into subdivisions
changing the whole character of
suburbia. The one thing that
may Stop the present^growth of
suburbia'is the problem of trans
portation. The railroads would
like to give the passenger traf
fic Up as a losing proposition;
it is impossible to park in large
cities. Perhaps another type of
transportation may be devised
to solve the problem. However,
branches of industry are now
moving into suburban areas
which may change the picture.
As to the social life, it is the
same as elsewhere except that it
is more marked. There have
been a number of books written
ridiculing the false and artificial
life of suburbia. The man who
is looking f«r escape and be
comes a country 1 gentleman with
proper clothes from Brooks
Brothers. He is lost and then
spends most of his time at the
so-called country club trying to
play the game of golf with fifty
clubs and then finds release at
the “bar. The distinction is
whether you wear a mink coat
or rabbit fur. Os course, you
have to have at least two cars
and! a station wagon to be in
the swim. Os course, there are

people live who have not suc

.suburbia and enjoy life in a
quiet way.' '
As to small towns there are
► any number of them from Maine
* to Florida. You can pick out the
i* temperature belt in which you
Jj want to live. Perhaps the best
: selection would be the county ]
h seat in an agricultural communi- i
d ty. The population is usually
J from five to ten thousand, and
■ there are many advantages to
Pi living in a town which is also
the county seat. To a certain
extent the social life is similar
- to suburbia but on a smaller and
- less competitive basis. You can
y become part of it or thumb your
nose at it, if you have your own
r resources and you can pick and
5 choose your friends. The classes
1 of society are almost the same.
f You have your professional group
of doctors, dentists and lawyers,
all of whom live in the better!
3 part of town and have all of
those material things of modem
1 living to make life pleasant,
j Then you have your merchants
3 and owners of local industries,
[1 together with the local
s .and owners of service companies,
gasoline stations, repair shops
and so on. Then you have the
■ secure job holders of government
positions of various kinds and in
r a county seat you have the court
positions and those of the vari
ous departments of records.
g
n The rest are job holders within
j the economy of the town. The
social life follows the same pat
j tern. If there is no golf club or
so-called country club nearby,
there will be one in the next
county. Then there usually is an
S organization of some kind that
~ holds various affairs and dances,
membership to which is restrict
ed and selective. Then there are
0
the various church organizations
" with the same group more or less
running things with the same
distinctions. While the lines may
not be so shhrply drawn as sug
g gested, nevertheless they exist.
But as mentioned before if you
have your own resources, you
can escape from it and make
your circle of friends and do
fairly such as you please. Per
haps the small town would be
j preferable to the modern sub
g urbia.

f Dear Three P’s:
t I have a grown daughter with
f several children. She' is having'
_ continual squabbles with her
-j husband and after each squabble
she comes home looking for sym
pa thy. While I want to be of
e help it is coming a bit trying
,f and I am afraid it may lead to
j a divorce which would be harm
ful for the children. Do you
N have any suggestion?
s —Perplexed.
;. Dear Perplexed:
e With the limited information
t which you have given it is diffi
e cult to come to any concrete
n solution to your problem. How
il ever, reading, between the lines
o would lead to the conclusion that
- your daughter is a spoiled per
il son, and that she enjoys the
s squabbles to become the center
i of attention and to arouse your
e sympathy. If she has several
o children it can be presumed that
Y she is a grown woman and
t therefore should face and solve
s her own problems on her own.

First of aii, hoping that you
and yours had a wonderful
Christmas-time. Secondly, sin
cere hopes that the new year is
a good one for you. What they
are referring to as the fabulous
fifties are at an end—here’s
hoping and praying that the
next ten years can be referred to
as the serene sixties, or some
thing along that line. I, for one,
know that 1960 will be my best
year yet, and I hope it’s an ex
cellent year for you; too.

Robert Ruark in his' news
paper column the other day had
nothing better to do than to de
fend the Franco distatorship of
Spain. He’s happy there, of
course, living in luxury, not
having to worry about taxes and
actually having very little to do
with the country of his birth,
and the country that was re
sponsible for his success—the
United States. According to
Ruark, Spaniards are terribly
happy with Franco. Is that why
a group of Spaniards in Mexico,
vehemently protested Eisen
hower’s visit to Spain? If Mr.
Ruark would like to tell the
truth about Spain, it would
probably not pass the censors
there. He cites a family that
owns a grocery store as a typi
cal example of sunshine and
light in Spain. Seems he’s
known them for a long time,
and they’re all very happy. I
know very little about Spain,
actually, but what I do know,
paints a rather terrible picture
of man’s inhumanity to man.
