Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:Do you mind if I use your

shoulder to weep on? I havejust been told by my son that

he is going to marry his girlfriend because she is pregnant.He is a freshman in collegeand I am just sick about this

because all my hopes anddreams have been wrappedup in this boy and I havealways told him I would makeany possible sacrifice to seethat he got through college.

Now he says he will have

to quit school and go to workto provide for his family. I

am just heartsick about his.Johnny's father died when he

was very young, and he andI always been so very dose!I will feel lost without him.We have never been separated.I was almost glad I could not

afford to let him go to collegeaway from home because Iwould have missed him so.

I know I can't prevent his

marrying this girl, and in a

way I realize it is the decentthing for him to do. I thinkthey really love each other, too

I have told him I would bewilling to pay the expensesof the doctor, and hospital,if he and his wife would live

with me. Otherwise I couldn'tswing it. But this way he

could stay in school.He won't agree to this kind

of arrangement. He says itwould be too hard on me. I

think it will be harder on meto be left alone. lam only 38and have a long, lonely lifeahead of me.

One thing I can't under-

stand. I always answered allJohnny's questions about sex,since he was real little, andafter he grew up I even told

him about birth control

(rubbers), and I know he has

used them because se<veral times

I came across some in his

dresser drawer. Why didn'the use therh with this girl,if they had to have an affair?I would like to ask him butain afraid he would get mad.Besides it's too late now.

What I really want to askyou is this, don't you thinkthe best solution to this prob-lem is for Johnny and hiswife to live with me so he

can keep going to college?

Please answer soon and thankyou.

D.N.

Dear Mrs. NI'm afraid I can't agree with

you, Mrs. N. Sometimes sucha living arrangement works outwell, but often it does not.

Your son seems to be determin-ed to take care of his wifeand baby on his own and this

is admirable. So many youngpeople these days seem to

take it for granted that Mom

ar Dad will continue to support

them indefinitely, even aftermarriage.

Apparently, a college de-

gree is not as important inyour son's eyes as in yours.You do not mention his grades,or whether he was happy in

school. A college educationis not for every person. Andlack of a degree is not the

worst thing in the world.At least Johnny has his

high school diploma, whichwill open many doors to him

in his job hunting. And he

may well work his way up into

a responsible, well-paying po-

sition.If Johnny is determined to

live apart from you and work

to support his family, I can

only say let him go with your

blessing. If you antagonizehim either by arguing or weep-ing and sulking, you may losehim entirely. Rather, makeyour home a happy and wel-

coming one that he and his

little family will want to visitoften.

Whatever you do, don'tever ask him why he didn'tU9e birth control with his girl.As you said yourself -? that

is spilled milk and not to be

wept over at this point. Andplease, be proud of his de-termination to face up to his

responsibilities like a man, andlet him know you are proud.

Don't feel sorry for your-self. You are still a youngwoman arfd can look forward

to a very interesting life even

though you live alone. Takepart in your church's socialactivities ?? take some courses

at the Y --offer to do volun-teer work at the hospital.Keep busy, make an effortto meet lots of people. Youwon't have time to be lonely!

Pests are ExpensiveHow vital are pesticides to

U.S. food producers? Accordingto W. C. Shaw, United StatesDepartment of Agriculture, ifpesticide use was withdrawn"Farm exports would be elim-inated. The number of agricul-tural workers currently on farmswould have to be doubled. In-stead of spending 17 percent offamily income on food, we wouldbe forced to devote 30 to 40 per-cent of our income and per-haps even more to providecurrent food needs. Without in-creasing the amount of land infarm crops, we could not providefood for more than 40 percentof our current population."
