Britain Boils
Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A. 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. From The
New York Daily News.

DEAR MRS. 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.
An estimated 19 to 16 per cent of
the crop land harvested annually
m the United States since the end
cf World War II has been used for
producing export commodities.

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.
