I disagree with this advice as I myself am making our home miserable, whereas If my wife were single, I feel sure she would find comeone else who would appreciate her much more than I do. I love this other woman very much and will continue to do so. Don't you think there is a possibility of my wife and my being happier apart from each other? UNHAPPY. Pass 2 Pass Pass 3N.T.

Surely, there is more to a good marriage than going places and having a good time. Surely, you could have found friends whom you both liked. It's no wonder that she doesn't care anything about going out and having a good time if she Is being told constantly that you are in love with someone else and are willing to throw away your home and your marriage and the right of your son for an affectionate home.

It may well be that your wife hasn't done all she could to create a good home and a lasting marriage, but one partner's failure calls for understanding and sympathy and an effort to solve the problem not for deliberate unfairness on the part of the other. Dear Martha: I WRITE A FELLOW who is overseas. I write him about twice a month but he never answers my letters. Last summer we used to write to each other twice a week but then suddenly he quit writing. I've heard from him about three times since last July.

When he does write, he always says he is sorry he didn't write sooner and says he starts my letters but never gets to finish them as he has to do some work on the base. I am wondering if I should continue writing him. WONDERING. been a better contract, but It was hard reach. West, in defiance of the spade bid at his left, opened the spade nine.

The jack was played for dummy, and declarer then led the diamond ten and overtook it with his own jack when East ducked. West, In with the diamond ace, persisted with the spade eight. The queen wonEast discarding a diamond and now, trying for two entries to his own hand for the sure establishment of the diamond suit, declarer led a club to his jack. The effort failed, however, and after taking his club queen, West returned a club, won by the ace. Now In rather desperate straits, South led a low heart from dummy, trying to build up a favorable end position.

East ducked, and West won with the eight. West returned a heart. Dummy won and cashed the second heart trick; then the spade 'ace was cashed. If East had discarded a club he would have been in trouble! (Another diamond discard was of course unthinkable.) Declarer then was prepared to discard his own club king on the spade ace, cash the club ten, and throw East in with the heart queen for a forced diamond lead to South tenace. But East was having none of that! He Jettisoned his queen of hearts on the spade ace and that was declarer's swan song.

This is the last of four articles written by the two daring conquerors of Mt. Everest Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzinr. the Sherpa porter. Sir Edmund rave his account In the first three articles. Tenzing's own account, as told in bis broken English, follows.

EVEREST place my home. My people name Everest "Chomolungma." That mean mountain birds cannot fly over. I think good name, don't you? Sometimes 1 climb ridge above Nanpa La (a pass near Tenzing's home village of Thami) for better view Chomolungma. Then I sit think what lamas at Thyangboche (the main Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the area) say. They say Buddha god live there on top and they make worship to mountain.

I have feeling for climbing to top and making worship more close to Buddha god. Not same feeling like English Sahibs who say want "conquer" mountain. I feel more making pilgrimage. One night 1933 I and friends run off from Thami, go Dar-jeeling be climbers. We very frightened that time.

We hear many noises. Maybe snowman ((the famed "abominable snowman" of the Himalayas) because next day we find some his tracks. You know I never see snowman but other Sherpa have. He never kill man but just bite if anyone trouble him. Twenty year nearly I go expeditions everywhere Himalaya.

I go Tlrich Mir in northwest and Nanga Parbat. This side I been Bandar Punch, Satopanth, Ke-darnath, Nanda Devi. Many mountains big little I climb. Very little time home with family. Maybe six month one year.

Last year only four month. I no like that. But I learn no other work only climbing. In my family I alone work. I have wife and two daughters.

They good. But we poor. No house no land very small money I have. Family starve if I no climb. But I like with expeditions.

All expedition leaders give me plenty chance. They I It was not known that he had displayed the Indian flag.) Next day back at camp I get Sherpa write letter my family. (Tenzing can neither read nor write, except for his own name.) It say, "This letter is from Tenzing. Myself along with one Sahib reached summit Everest on 29th May. Hope you will feel happy.

Cannot write more. May I be excused." I sign. Who reach top first? That make much trouble. If I say Hillary first, Indian, Nepali people unhappy. If I say I first, European people unhappy.

If you agree, I like say both got top together almost same time. If you everybody write that way, no trouble. Same trouble myself. Some people say I Nepali some say Indian. My sisters my mother living there.

But now I live India with wife daughters. For me Indian Nepali same. I am Nepali but I think I also Indian. We should all be same Hillary, myself, Indian, Nepali, everybody. (Copyright, 1953, by Tlmt.

Inc.) much. Maybe one two hours then wake up. Throat feel choking. But keep thinking must get top. On top I no think anything at first.

Then I look at Hillary. He hold out hand for shake. I shake then throw arms around him and we hit other on back. Very happy. I LOOK every side.

Good day, no much wind. All hills below look like Buddha gods. I can see very far. North in Tibet I see Rongbuk Gompa (monastery) and North Col where old expedition come. That way look very hard.

In west I see Thyangboche (monastery) and I think lamas praying there. I put little offering in snow. I feel very good. I have make worship close to Buddha god like think when I am boy on ridge above Nanpa La. Hillary ask me hold up flags on ax handle.

I hold up British, Nepal and U.N. flags for picture, also Indian. Friend in Dar-jeeling give me Indian flag, I ask Col. Hunt if all right take TENZING'S WIFE, ANG LAHMOO. AT RIGHT, AND TWO TEEN-AGE DAUGHTERS, PEM-PAM AND NIMA, AS THEY WAITED ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF KATMANDU FOR THEIR HEROIC HUSBAND AND FATHER.

Some people say "Tenzing got third lung because herded yaks 17,000 feet when boy." That no can be. But doctor once tell me living high place make lung grow bigger.

Better able climb high. EVEREST no hardest climb. Everest no easy but Nanda Devi with French expedition 1951 most dangerous for me. On icefall ice very raw. Steep drop both sides.

I climb slowly one inch one time. No place hold. Very small put foot. Ice very slippery. On Swiss expedition (to Everest) last year we get 27,550 feet.

So cold give boxing blows keep warm. When spit it become ice, fall like stone. Breathing become snow and THE END. Itb and Oli.o Salti 191 ArtaaJ it to top and he say "good." (Until Tenzing made this report, stick to hair on face. One small tent no sleeping bag.

Next morning oxygen no work because freezing. I try pump but after cannot pumping, throw away and leave there. We go climbing without oxygen to 28,215 feet. This highest point. Can no go much higher.

No food no drink for 24 hour. If have one cup tea think can climb top. We fail but everyone so happy we climb highest point. But no flower that high so Sahibs make sausage garland give us. We dance happy.

After second Swiss expedition 1952 I get sick. First I think no go again. Then think must try again. Must get top Chomolungma. Then I begin feel stronger.

When I get on mountain (on the British expedition) maybe half-way up I no more feel hungry thirsty. Also forget family and no think afraid. Only think must get top. Up 27,900 feet where Hillary and I stop for night no sleep WINDOW SHADES WHILE YOU WAIT gc Up S430 408-12 N. SARAH ST.

Whether you continue to write to him, of course, must be up to you, but frankly I'm afraid you re wasting your time and ink. The Baby Sitter By Angelo Patri ACTIVE little children need to be watched carefully, even then they often get into trouble. It is impossible to stand over them every waking moment. They must learn to take care of themselves.

If they are busy at some chosen occupation where their mother can keep an eye on them, they do very well. The sandbox and swing in the back yard, some bits of waste lumber and the like are a great help. There will be some accidents. Falls are usual and scratched knees are the order of the day. A bit of first aid, an encouraging word, and they are off to resume the game.

The mothers should try to cover any anxiety they may feel and teach the youngsters to be brave. That is the usual way. FEW MOTHERS ever leave their little children alone In the house while they go out to look into something that demands their attention. Most mothers know that is a dangerous thing to do. One never knows what a child will do when his mother is away.

It might be just the time for the child to try out something forbidden, like lighting the gas stove or climbing out on the porch roof. One never knows what may enter a child's mind, so we take no chances. That is why we have baby sitters. This brings us to that serious matter of selecting the person to whom authority and responsibility is to be transferred. This person is substituting for a mother.

How does this person measure up? How well do the children and their mother know her? Who recommends her? The family physician, clergyman, relative? Surely no stranger Is to be given this grave responsibility? It is only for a few hours? Think of what a child can do in one minute and then think again about the sort of person your baby sitter is and be sure of her. IF THERE IS A GRANDMA in the family, she may be just the right person. Maybe she will let the children stay up a while longer, maybe she will slip them an extra bit of chocolate. Well, isn't this an occasion? A little spoiling now and then harms nobody. Grandma won't bring strangers into the house, won't turn on the radio and the television for hours on end, won't scold or frighten a child, as inexperienced young people have been known to do.

Know the baby sitter you entrust children to and if no aunt or grandma is available, she can serve. Guard children well. They need it. i-SURREYS- I i Senator Soaper Says: An old-timer is one who can remember when it was possible to have something wrong with a car that cost less than $10 to fix.

Everest and virtually out of communication when up sprang a rumor that Tenzing had topped the peak before Hillary, had indeed hauled the exhausted white man to the summit on a rope. Announcement that Hillary and Col.

John Hunt but not Tenzing would be knighted fed the rumor with the fuel of Asian resentment. Suddenly the chosen champion of every nationalist and Communist in India and Nepal, the Sherpa became the center of a second jealous quarrel as Ne-palese and Indians bickered over his citizenship. Out from Katmandu forged a party of Nepalese youths to meet the returning climbers. Intercepting some Indian reporters, they forced them to attest that Tenzing was Nepalese. Accosting Jim Burke, American correspondent, they tried to get him to say the British were misusing the Sherpa.

Finding Tenzing they quickly made him a captive and bewildered hero. Hunt tried to explain the roles of both Tenzing and Hillary as part of the whole expedition and fed further fuel to the flames by tactless reference to Tenzing's lack of technical climbing experience. Then in Katmandu, where Nepal's king conferred decorations on Hunt and Hillary, but a higher one on the Sherpa, Burke came on Tenzing surrounded by advisers who had maneuvered him into an anti-British, all -Asia press conference and uncharacteristically resentful remarks, which did not sound at all like the Tenzing revealed in his own words in the accompanying article. Burke met Tenzing above Katmandu, before his rabid coaches had captured him. The Sherpa sat down on a grassy hill above the little Nepalese village of Hukse and in his soft-voiced English told Burke his true story and revealed the true feelings of a devout, affable, modest man.

It was night, and Tenzing held a flashlight while Burke wrote down verbatim the broken phrases which bore the unmistakable ring of truth. i enjoyable nostalgia we ve had in a long time. Harvard has some sort of a seminar on "unrest in education," but we don't quite see how it's going to do anything about squirming in the fourth grade. High school students who can play the rarer woodwinds get college-band scholarships, we read, and we can only hope this doesn't lead to a musical alent of the tramp athlete, a hobo with an oboe.

A girl writes: 1.

"What's the correct way for a boy to ask a girl for a dance? 2. How should she reply? 3. What should she say when the dance Is finished? 4. Should she do a lot of talking while dancing?" Answer: 1. The correct way for a boy to ask for a dance varies with the circumstances sometimes merely, "Next one?" (if they're both with other partners at the time); sometimes a more formal "May I have the next dance" or "I hope you're going to have this one with me!" Girls hate a would-be nonchalant approach such as "How about it?" 2.

The girl'g reply depends on how he asks her a nod and a smile if they're with others "Yes!" with amlle "I'll be looking forward to it" or something similar. 3. There's not much time for talking when the dance Is finished. He should thank her and she replies, "It was fun," perhaps adding, "Let's do it again sometime!" If she'd like another dance with him later. 4.

A girl can usually take a cue from her partner about whether to talk while dancing. Try a question or remark or two io he'll know you're friendly and not tongue-tied and to see If he seems to want to talk. If he doesn't make much effort to continue the chatter, it probably means that he's shy or prefers to concentrate on dancing your guess Is as good as mlncl he never HEARD OFVOMEN fil Ih MMP CHILDREN FIRST.
