The general stabilization order puts a clamp on wages, salaries and prices at September 15 levels.

I Kathleen Norris Says: This Is No Time to Borrow Trouble Bell Syndicate—WNU Features. 'V WLZJra ’■ b y \ ° x All our married life my wife has been worrying. This morning she said she could not see how my business could continue much longer, made Elinor, our daughter put on a sweater, and asked where we could move if we couldn't get oil for the furnace.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS AMAN named Jim Davis writes me that he has a worrying wife. He says she takes the greatest trouble in the world to see that meals are on time, and hot, and that there are flowers on the table. She is marvelously considerate about having a pencil on the telephone table and an extra comforter at the bottom of his bed. She dresses well and economically and goes to a beauty parlor twice a week. He says she entertains nicely and has brought up their small daughter, Elinor, carefully and lovingly. But she worries all the time. ' 'Elinor is nine now,, ana she is beginning to droop in this atmosphere of constant depression, just as Jim is. Elinor looks at her mother piteously. "Please, Mummy, it’s not so important—it doesn’t matter—it’ll be all right!” the small girl pleads. “Take it easy, May,” the man of the house says cheerfully, as he settles himself at the table. But sooner or later both father and daughter come under the dark spell of the woman’s mood. Worries About Money. “All our married life she has been worrying about money, although with my steady job and her own good management we never have been in any difficulties,” Jim writes. “The prospect of any extra expense causes her hours of anxiety; she is terribly afraid she will have to have a tooth filled; she doesn’t want to call a doctor just for a little burn — that sort of thing. “Her father has had a heart attack—he is 78, and although now restored to good health I suppose he may someday have another. But every time the telephone bell rings May whispers, ‘Papa!’ and staggers to answer it with her hand over her own heart. Everything is a cause for worry, and under and over it all goes the great world worry, which none of us can escape. “This morning, for example,” the letter goes on, “my wife somewhat monopolized the breakfast conversation as I was supposedly reading the paper. But I took out my pencil and quietly noted down the variety of things she was finding to worry about. “It began with the headlines; she actually got my old mother crying and' my daughter white-faced with terror over a picture of what would happen to us in the days of German occupation of a quiet Kentucky town. Then she went on to say that probably the worst that would happen to us would be financial ruin, but she hated the thought of losing her beautiful home and garden. “Next came Elinor’s cold; it was better, but if it got any worse my wife would keep her in bed, in which case she could not rehearse for the school play and couldn’t be in it. Elinor began nervously to cry into her cereal. Overlooks Nothing. “May then said that she was afraid Emmy, the maid, would leave us; she was afraid the price of beef would soon be prohibitive; she did not see how my business could continue much longer. She asked me how athlete’s foot started, as the sole of one of her feet felt very tender; she begged me not to do any with a man named Jackson, with whom I have not the slightest intention of doing business; she asked my mother twice whether

BROTHERS UNITED Like brothers united the sum total of our worries and fears stands invincible, but taken, separately "and faced squarely these same fears crumble from sheer weakness and unimportance. In this year of universal strife the petty fears of a woman like the ‘"May Davis" of this letter are something to be a little ashamed of. If each of us were to succumb so easily to unnecessary worry we would soon be fair game for even the weakest adversary. United in courage and unselfishness we are invincible.

she was not afraid to sit in the cross-current of air from the porch. “She talked for five minutes about the sample of paint they have tried on the garage and said she was sure it was not what she had chosen. Then she made Elinor put on a sweater, asked me where we could move if we couldn’t get oil for the furnace this winter, asked me twice whether I had put an air-stamp on a letter I had mailed, asked me for the third time whether the Bakers were coming to dinner on Thursday, said she wished she could call it off before it was too late as she hated to tackle a dinner for six with no assurance of having a cook in the kitchen. “After that 1. left for the office feeling as if I were being bitten to death by ducks. The moment I got there May was on the telephone; Elinor had gone off to school without her rubbers, and May thought fain was blowing up. Also, had I seen her opera glasses? Not that she needed them, but she’d suddenly thought of them and couldn’t find them anywhere. “This may sound funny to you,” the letter ends, “but it’s not so funny to your faithful reader, “Jim Davis.” And there’s a postscript: “But don’t fool yourself; I love my wife.” Amusing and Pathetic. I’ve reprinted this letter in full because it seems to me amusing and pathetic and maddening all at once Not many women make so thorough a job of worrying that they worry about EVERYTHING. Most of us have oOftie avenues of peaceful and contented thought to which we can escape Evidently May Davis hasn’t. Winston Churchill, who, will be conceded, has something over which to, worry, is quoted as saying that he has developed a priorities system for worrying. He takes them one ala time, and oreaks each one in turn. It’s the old story of the father who asked his strong young sons to break separate sticks, which they did with contemptuous ease. But when he bound those sticks into a tight, heavy bundle it was a different story. His point was that brothers united cannot be broken. Well, the great nations of the world are as brothers united today, and while they hold together they cannot be broken. The slow great tide that is forty nations standing shoulder to shoulder is gathering head, and will presently flood deep ~ver the ' inters of petty hate and pite. And for her lesser worries May Davis may well feel shame. This is no time to borrow trouble from the butcher’s bills of 1944 or to honeycomb our still protected days and ways with dangers.
