Around Capitol Square Daily Star Bureau Asso. Afternoon Dailies By LYNN NISBET MYSTERY—Another one of those little mysteries that plague capltol reporters was solved Friday after noon after just a few minutes re search. That reporters were told upon arriving at the executive of fice for the schedued afternoon conference that the governor was out on a secret mission. It had sort of an int-iguing sound. Fifteen minutes later the newshounds knew that the governor was taking a couple of hours for a round of golf with some friends. * • * • HUNTING — That recalled an other experience when Governor Broughton's secretary told news men the bass was out of town and even the office staff didn’t know where. The reporters went to much more trouble that time, Including several long distance telephone calls, to ascertain the then gover nor was on a deer hunt down east. • • • • JUSTIFIED — Anyone familiar with the strenuous routine of the governor’s office knows that occa sional surcease from official busi ness is not only justified but is ab • solutely necessary for maintenance of a clear mind. Governor Cherry isn’t often later than nine o'clock getting to the office, and frequent ly he has already had a conference or two at the mansion. He leaves long after five taking home with; him a lot of records for perusual' and study that night—and is very happy if he is not disturbed more than half a dozen times while read-; ing. Being governor is Just about j as full time job as running a news-' paper or a news service—means 24 hours a day. Only criticism of the ! occasional skipping away for rec reation is the atmosphere of sec recy thrown around the expedi tions. 1 » STARVATION—A group of state leaders called together this week by Dr. John F. Kendricks, nutrition expert working cooperatively with the Rockefeller foundation and the state board of health, didn't like what they heard about some North Carolinians starving to death—but confessed there Is a lot of truth in the statement. Starvation in this land of plenty isn't due to lack of food, despite current shortgaes in some particular Items—especially 1 meats. It is due almost entirely to; unbalanced diet. The group discuss ing plans to remedy conditions in- ; eluded representatives of the de partment of education, agriculture health and State college. • • • • MALNUTRITION — Data avail able for study Indicates that victims of malnutrition are not limited to any class or type of citizenship. Tenant farmers and textile mill em ployee* probably suffer more, but many high salaried ' white collar'' workers Indulge in diet sufficiently unbalanced to rtiuse 111 health. Dr Clyde Erwin, state superintendent of public Instruction, told of stop ping by a country school not long ago and observing very obvious signs of malniftritlon among pupils —In one of the most prosperous ^EXHAUSTION W; to Headache Don’t 1st headache doo bis the mis ery of exhaustion.

Other reports indicated that many manu facturing plants are operating cafe terias with scientifically prepared menus to assure workers of at least one well balanced meal a day. * * * * SUBSTITUTES — Concensus of the group was that while many stocks items of food are now scarce, there are available substitutes hav ing approximately the same value in vitamins, calories and all the other scientific names for food con tent. Trouble is, most people want to eat what they are accustomed to and what tastes good without regard to proper balance. * * * * VITAMINS—Some of the con ferees commented on the current "vitamin” craze. Kerr Scott, com missioner of agriculture, points out that every known vitamin can be obtained in ample quantity from food produced in North Carolina if a little thought is given to prepa ration of menus. Milk, eggs, avail able meats and vegetables—both where the edible parts are under ground and above ground—contain everything the human body needs for healthy existence. Zion Memorial Well Attended The auditorium was filled at Zion church Sunday for memorial services held in the afternoon. Be cause of war condition the “din ner-on-the-ground” was suspended this year for the first time in many, many years. Rev. J. L. Jenkins, pastor, preached a sermon, a group of teen age pupils from Polkville High school, under the direction of J. D. Huggins sang two num bers and Phil Elliott, president of Gardner-Webb college delivered an address. The original deed for the church was presented by Lee Weathers. It was made bv Willis Weathers in 1814 to Samuel Bailey. William Covington and Mark Dedmon, commissioners of the church and referred to the "Anabaptist church or Society at Zion.” The deed was made when this section was Rutherfordton county but was not recorded until Cleve land was organized out of Ruther ford and Lincoln counties.

He is an of ficer in the air corps, now over seas. We were married two years before he entered the service and we were very much in love. Also, we have a lovely child, now two years old. Since my husband has been away, he writes me that he Is a “wolf” with every woman he meets. He boasts of his affairs with these women, but says I shouldn’t worry, because his behavior is only an ‘‘escape.’ He thinks that so long as he tells me about these af fairs, Jie is justified in his actions. When he first told me, I was crushed. However, I felt the only way to hold him was not to force an issue while we were separated. I would let him live as he saw fit while he was away, even though he knew it made me unhappy and hurt me greatly. He is coming home soon and I want to know the best course to follow. Should I let him know now that when we are together again I expect him to be faithful to me and our mar riage? I cannot be happy any other way. If I don’t say anything, will he of his own volition put such con duct behind him? Or will he think he is 6till free to pursue it? I want so much to start our mar riage on a firm foundation when he gets back. I would greatly ap preciate your immediate advice, as he is arriving shortly. H.C. HER TOLERANCE IS REMARKABLE DEAR H. C.: Your tolerance Is truly remarkable. Few women could match It; nor would I consider It a beneficial policy If generally practiced. However, your diploma tic decision not to make an issue, by mail, of your husband’s cozy re cital of his rake's progress since going overseas is perhaps the soundest contribution you could have made towards rehabilitating your family life on his return. It leaves the latch string out for him to come back and pick up the threads of orderly married be havior where he left off—if, by the grace of God, his character has not been Irreparably damaged by vicious excesses. He may have the good sense to realize in retrospect the enormity of his folly and firm ly close the book on it. But it re mains to be seen whether he is worth so much patient considera tion. However, having skirted a showdown thus far, I think you should continue to play a waiting game until he is permanently re stored to civilian life. WAIT RETURN FOR SHOWDOWN In other words, don't serve ad i vance notice on him now, concern ing your rightful demands when together again. And don't nail him for a reproachful going-over, and solemn oath of reform, during the first flush of reunion. Give him a i margin of time in which to speak his owm piece—a few days, perhaps a week. Then if he says nothing, open the subject, not in a bitter, accustory tone but with friendly directness. Somewhat in the man ner of a good wife asking, “Now, what about your touch of malaria? Is that under control?” Mention ! his escapades, how unlike him they seemed, and how you clung to his advice, "not to worry.” You might say, for instance, "John, this wolf business of yours really scared me. It’s so unlike you. I didn't know how to figure it. or what it might lead to. I didn't write much about it because I thought it best not to. I sup pose people back home never really understand what war does to a man, while he's going through it. But now that you're here, I’d feel much better if we talked things out—oh, say once over lightly—to see where we stand with each oth er. That, after all, is what mat ters to me. We can go on here, be happy and forget the past, if you’re sure you’re not going to be a wolf any more. But of course we couldn't stay married on any other basis." Etc. TIME WILL TELL WHAT HE’S WORTH This approach give* him a chance to take the pledge without bully ing; and if he is a candidate for true reform, he will meet you more than halfway, with fervent assur ances. Whereas if he has been ruined for marriage, nothing you might say or leave unsaid can pull him together. His conduct in civ ilian life will soon disclose whe ther (1 he has regained moral sta bility in the husband’s role, or (3 become an unregenerate phil anderer. —M.H. Mary Haworth counsels through her column; not by mail or per sonal interview. Write her in care of Shelby Daily Star. Dear Mary Haworth: My hus band and I have been married for three years, and we have a small daughter. Eighteen months ago, my husband enlisted in the navy. He has been on shore duty ever since, stationed in a very large city. He thinks he will be there for some time yet. He has a lot of free time from his duties and is very lonely for my companionship. I visit him frequently. We have looked around for a desirable place where we all three might live to gether but with no luck. Our child is 6ickly and a doctor has advised me against moving her to the city. My husband wants me to leave her with my mother and go live with him. My mother loves her dearly and would give her the best of care if I followed my husband’s wishes. But I feel It Is my duty to stay at home with the child. I love them both very much and they both need me. Which should I choose? L. P. CHILD REFLECTS MOTHER’S JITTERS Dear L. F.: Doa’t be silly. No body is asking you to choose be tween husband and child. That isn’t the proposition at all. The question is. rather, how to handle a diffi cult situation to best advantage; how to improve the present acute ly unsatisfactory situation which is taking the zest out of liffe for all three of you. Since the health of children is subtly yet strongly affected by the emotional atmosphere of family life, it is probable your child’s sick liness is, in large measure, induced and aggravated by your war-time nervous strain. It is brought on (1) by disruption of family life, follow ing your husband’s enlistment; (2) by the hectic running to-and fro for frequent visits with him; (3) by protracted indecision and debate as to whether to pull up stakes and join him; and (4) by a constant nagging whisper of anx iety and vague self-reproach, re volving around the possibility that your passive refusal to oblige his fervent wish may start a widening rift in the marriage. KEEP MARRIAGE IN GOOD REPAIR a close devotional relationship between parents is the best safe guard of a child’s welfare over the long haul. This being so, I venture the opinion that your present pol icy of leaving your husband lonely, in order to minister to your daugh ter s health—when your mother gladly would give her the best of care—is a dangerously short-sighted emergency measure which may backfire to her lasting detriment. Also, grade-A physical surround ing, while desirable, are not so im portant to a child’s robust develop ment as the fact of belonging to parents who cheerfully stick to gether, through thick and thin Here is my advice: If you are staying with your mother, leave the child there, go to your husband and take what you can find in the way of a place to make a tempor ary home for him. The shorter the remainder of his stay, the more important this step to keep your marriage in good repair. Eighteen months’ separation, for one-sided reasons, is not a healthy thing In going, plan from the first to bring the child later, as soon as adequate lodgings can be found bv more leisurely search. If you have kept up your own home, the one he left to enlist, hold it in reserve to come back to in case he’s sent out by.. subletting on a month-to month basis. M.

A total of $12,000 from the fund was made available for pensions of public school teachers who be came 65 on March 10, 1943, in compliance with an act of the 1943 general assembly. Transfer by the state board of education of a 7,500 acre tract of land in Hyde and Pamlico coun ties to the department of conser vation and development also was approved by the council.

Dorton North Caro lina’s problem of reconversion will be simple compared to states which “have certain sections swol len with wartime population which will be far in excess of peacetime needs.” Although North Carolina has 1.6 percent of the nation’s total in dustrial employment, it has hand led only .6 percent of the nation’s primary war supply contracts, fig ures cited by Dorton show.

But there’s just one bit of warning: Youngsters like to do things alone. They’d rather have a place of their own, no matter how small, than help their elders. When it comes to helping, they tire eas ily. Give them a patch of their own, however, and they’ll do a good job. Let them grow radishes, carrots, lettuce, string beans, chard, beets, spinach and tomatoes (the latter from started plants). Don’t give them vegetables that are difficult to raise, or they may become dis couraged. Berchtesgaden Mixes On Alien Tongues PORTLAND, Ore., May 7—(A*)— The Allied drive on Berchtesgaden tangled on non-Germanic tongues here and emerged as a report that a Columbia river bridge had col lapsed. A reporter traced the tangle this way: A Vancouver, Wash., resident heard a radio report of declining resistance in the Berchtesgaden area. “Berchesgodden's collapsing,” he told a friend. The friend spread the news. “Britchesgodden just fell.” “What, Britchuffthegods fell down?” Switchboards at police, sheriff, and newspaper offices began flash ing. “Say, the bridge of the gods fell into the river this morning."
