He’s the sloppy one who is fore- ever flicking his cigar ashes onto Ed Sullivan’s rug. The dashing Mr. King has a rough time of it at home, ac­ cording to the stories he relates about Mrs. King whom' he por­ trays as something of a Stingy . spendthrift — stingy with her money, free with his. There is little doubt that Allan would heartily agree with the blues chaser which appear­ ed in the London Free Press re­ cently: Before marriage a man spends his time spooning a- round; after marriage he spends it forking over. I disaigree. And what’s more, I'm certain that even Allah King would concur that al­ though his jokes about Mrs. King’s dollar daze have made him the star he is, she is far from tae money-mangler he would like us to believe. It has been my experience that if it wasn’t for the thrift­ iness of the nation’s home­ makers, the nation’s homes would be dark, cold, damp and empty places to live — for a man has no conception of how to spend money wisely. HiS -idea of grocery shopping vyould be to purchase a box of crackers, a pound of limburger a quart $ milk for the kids ahd a base of beef for him. He would forget to mail the check to the hydrp company, neglect to straighten up the fuel ac­ count and flood the basement with sewage in his efforts to save his poker money from the clutches of a reputable plumber. W feet, what; our brawny boasting • bearded boys call “forking over” is more correct­ ly termed “slicing up” which is a woman’s only defence for a mail’s inability to handle fin- Thurs,, Nov. 17y 1966—^Clinton News-Record—Page 3 ,,,L..j ,LL,.L LJ.

Women are not being heart­ less when they demand hubby’s money. The deed is done each week out of love for him and concern for his image in the community. It is really the kindest thing a wife can do for the father of her children. Strange thing is, most men admire the little woman's financial wizardry but wouldn’t be caught dead admitting to the boys at the gun club that she manages the money and he likes it that way, Luckily, women know that . . . .
