Butler has brought on himself a hurricane of popular indigna tion with the supplementary budget he submitted to Par liament Wednesday. Britons have been enjoying a boom for quite a while. As one result, they’ve been buying so much of their own manufactured goods that their export trade has suffered. Since Britain must export or die, this home consumption has to be cut down somehow if the British economy is to stay sound. Butler and His Budget So Butler wants to jack up sales and dividend taxes, cut housing subsidies, raise telephone and postal charges, and clap sales levies on a lot of household appliances and textiles which haven’t been taxed up to now. He does not, however, propose to reduce government spending enough to satisfy most of his fellow countrymen. The result is that Butler is being cursed far and wide as a kitchen raider, a friend of the rich, and all the rest of it. His party's Labor (Socialist) opponents are happily making political hay, and although there’s hell to pay. Yet Butler’s program Is obviously sound in principle, though politically dumb in spots. To us, the whole epsiode seems a striking illustration pf how tough life can get for statesmen in a democracy, whenever they do so something which has to be done but which irks most of the people. Sometimes, you can hardly help feeling sorry for politicians in general.

This prompts The Greenvffle NFws to inquire whether anyone has noticed a r corresponding decline in wickedness.

MAYFIELD: About four years ago I met a most-attractive girl. We were work ing in the same office at the time. The thing that appealed to me was her honesty and sincerity and sweetness. She was the type of per son you’d swear could never do a wrong thing. f Well, to make a long story short. , I married her. bought a home for . | her and settled down to what I ; i thought was going to be an idyllic | life. We have two children now, two little girls, and I’ve been so proud of them, thinking someday they’d grow up to be like their mother. t I*4 Now all my dreanjf are trashing. YisterdAjT I got home a 111fcT«*%arlf"* J and my wife was entertaining a ( vis'tor. a woman of about her age. i I joined them and pretty soon visitor told me she had known 'vmy wife when she was in a girl's ■reformatory. I I couldn't believe my ears—but ■the truth will out. It seems that ■my wife had been in a reformatory | for stealing. She confessed the ■Whole thing afterwards. I told her H wes going to divorce Irer and Know any court would award me ■the children. I She packed up her things and rleft last night. I don't know where jjshe has gone and I cannot see ■ i that it matters too much consider ’ ing what a wicked person she has • been and haw she has cheated by letting me marry her without con- j all this to me. I know that you wall agree with , me about her, but am writing oe- ; cause I would like to get this off : my mind. DEAR TOM: j . You utter fool! Do you actually believe that anyone is perfect? That there is anyone who can do ; no wrong? Oh, vou're probably a i saint—in your own estimation. But I see you as a cheap, tawdry little imitation of a man. You found 8. girl you You married her. During the ye#r4 Vou’ve tyeeiy married to Imr she hits lived up to everything you thought. Arid now became you. find she has committed some grievous mistake, made some terrible error in the past, you condemn her and literally throw her out. v Do you honestly believe that if a person sins that person car.’t giw beyond or expiate that wrong? Don’t you realize that great good ness can grow from wrongs? Have n't you ever heard of a very re markable and holy man who bade those without sin tq cast the first stone? And yet you would set your self above Hina? I’m bonified when I think of your wife alone and an outcast. For heaven’s sake man, see the light and find her. If you love her : —and If you can act this way I idon’t believe you’ve the character fa know real love take her back land prove your lose. Personally, I’d prefer a thousand reformatory records to a despic able, unchristian hardness suph you're showing. < mIN*. ' No Smokes, No Drink, No Husband! . . 1 DEAR, MRS. MAYFIELD: ,1 am very much disturbed about agy husband. When? he. mas courting me he swore that after we were married he would give up smoking and also give up drinking. I tdhk him at his word-, rm sorry to say-. Well, we're been married over a year now and he is addicted THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N.CL to long black cigars, and I don’t think a day ever passes that he doesn't have a “snort.” I told him he could not drink at home with the result that he spends most of his time after work in taverns. I also told him he couldn't smoke at home, but he does anyway. But whenever I find cigars in his pock et I throw them away and the same with cigarettes. His loatire some habits are extremely distaste ful to nre. And yet I do feel I could love him. The trouble is he doesn’t act very much as though he loves me any more. I think it fc too bad for a marriage to crack after- just a year, don't you? , EMMY •bEArTEMMY: First of all. it's a bad idea .to marry * man with the idea you're going to reform him. If there is any reforming to be done it should be done BEFORE you marry him. And not afterwards. I've noticed over and over again that men who swear to all sorts of reforms du ring the courting days are pretty negative about them later on. Secondly, I do thibk you’re being terribly strict. I mean, if your husband wants a drink now- and then and a smoke now and then, and if he’s bound and determined to have them, then you'd be a lot wiser to let him have his freedom around home than in forcing him to resort to taverns. The truth is you’re literally driv ing this man out of his home with your narrow-, stubborn attitude. And it should be perfectly obvious you aren't accomplishing the re forms you wanted. If you're one whit smart you're going to try some other other stra tegy now'. As it is now, your mar riage is heading toward the rocks, you're losing your husband's love— and accomplishing just exactly no thing in the' way of changing ha habits. I’m perfectly frank with you when I say you're behaving stup idly. ' M. M.

The ♦ WORRY CLINIC By Dr. George W. Crane Millicent's shock is typical of the popular viewpoint about, this widespread problem in America. Scrapbook these cases this week, for they offer you the true pic ture of typical love affairs. Many homosexuals have changed into the more adult heterosexual cate gory, for you aren't "born" to love any specific sex or person. Case P-303: Millicent G, aged 43, is the mother of a college son who has been dismissed from Mili tary Service for homosexuality. “Dr. Crane, I cant understand why. my son would ever become interested in such a thing,” she protested with hurt pride. "Do you suppose he is losing his mind? One of my uncles went in sane, so could he have inherited this abnormality? ACT YOUR AGE No, he didn’t inherit his homo sexuality, And it has no connec tion with insanity. Furthermore, thousands of high ranking officers in Military Serv ice, as well as enlisted men, have been washed out of service for homosexuality. . Furthermore, the public must quit affecting such exaggerated horror at the sound of this word. Many Americans still act as if the term is synonymous with the cry dl ‘leprosy'’ in Biblical days. Anything is “abnormal’’ which isn’t practiced by the majority or even 51V- of the general public. But this type of abnormality is statistical and not connected with loss of sanity. Millicent was indirectly respon sible for her son’s problem, for she was a society woman who left her boy alone a great deal, except for the company of household em ployees. And my interview with her son brought out the fact that he had learned his homosexuality origin ally at the age of 13 from the butler in their home. “But how could he be fonder fa a man than of a lovely girl?” his mother asked in surprise. Well, love is love, whether of your own sex or the opposite sex. FACTS ABOUT LOVE God Almighty designed us hu man beings so we would be re ceptive to love as well as to car bohydrates. But we were not predestined to crave shredded wheat in contrast to puffed rice or grapenuts. Ad vertising and training have eon spired to make us prefer one cereal instead of another. In like manner, we were created to he receptive to love. But ac*i dental events in the childhood environment, still predispose may be 10% of people to a form of emotional life that is not typical of the other 90%. When a person is ardently in love, he naturally doesn't want to break up his own romance, even on the orders of his parents. For example, suppose a boy had proposed to his girl friend and was so devoted to her he felt he could n t live without her. But his par ents then told him she wasn't good for him, so he should jilt her. How would he feel? Would he accept the advice with delight? And would it be easy to break up his romance? Well, the game situation exists regarding homosexual romance. The homosexual “lovers” have no interest in breaking up, even tho their parents and other relatives may be horrified at the affair. The only way such a romance can be terminated it for one or both parties thereto to decide that such a romance is not proper. By sheer will power, such homo sexuals have often broken thsir attaehment for their own sex aivi developed happy marriage to mem bers of the opposite sex. But they must resolutely date eligible members of the opposite sex, just as they would take medi cine for an ultimate cure. Bitter though it may seem at the start, if they will go through the proper motions, including dates with the opposite sex, compliments end kisses, they can evolve the more niaiure emotional type of love which is represented by het eMMtixa) romance between male and female. But the victim's relatives can't cure him by their desire any more than they can change a confirmed alcoholic. The victim biinseif must WANT to. change, and then shun his own sex while deliberately cultivating the opposite sex.

II EARL jKBIrj I wils©a t mg ON BROADWAY NEW YORK My mother and Gorgeous Mother-in-Law were in vited out to Detroit recently to look at the new 1956 refrigeration gimmicks . . and it set them to talking about cooling devices in the supposed “good old days.” I don’t mean merely “the pan under the icebox” - - that’s re cent. “Do you remember on the farm in Ohio,” my mother said, ‘h‘ow some people would hang their milk cans down inside the well to keep the milk cool in the summer?” It was some f( 1 mmu-lity ice t I ther remembered “We had what H* BOX 1919 we called a ce ment-block cellar three steps down into the ground. And in that we had a trough where we kept but ter and milk. “We had a windpump which pumped water through a pipe into that trough, and that kept every thing very cool.” "I remember it all now,” I told my mother. “Because when there wasn't any wind, I would have pump the water. And I w’as a very delicate boy as I used to tell you.” “You were only delicate when you were supposed to pump water, or hoe thistles out of the com, or chop weeds,” Mother said. “Oh days when you had a ball game in town, yoli were very rug ged!" Mv Gorgeous Mother-in-Law re membered when housewives use! to put food on the window sill to be kept cool, and how tratpaw stole it. Sometimes it wasn’t tramps. Sometimes it was the neighbors’ children. Sometimes it was your own children. And now some refrigerator peo ple have gone so far as to claim that for 1956 they’ve developed a built-in Ice Ejector with no levers, ramrods, pickaxes or derricks, which’ll eject the cubes simply by sliding the tray into the ejector. You don’t have to touch the ice with your pinky or even get your finger wet. Sounds like a little bit o’heaven, and I wonder if it’s true. It seems a long time since ice was such an aristocratic luxury that some of us felt we should only have it o.i Sundays. THE MIDNIGHT EARL . . Dick' HajYne.s’ll apply for U.
