This morning my good wife brought a letter to me from Mrs., Wilmer Cuthill who is a daughter of my cousin. Mrs...lohn Storey, , She wrote me including a picture of my cousin 'Elizabeth Storey which brings me up to date on 1912 when we left Trowbridge. You are the first of many I have written to including a stamped, self-addressed envelope. .1 had nearly given up when I received the reply. Thank yoit.

It Hay.e you ever noticed that we spend a lot of • time talking about the big crises,-of life when it's the little things that really affect 'us most? Television and the newspapers talk incessantly abou t out domestic economic woes when what affects most of us more is the little doMestic battles such as whether the toothpaste tube should be squeezed from the middle or the end tiny wife squeezes from the middle while I work from the end). They talk • about the tensions between the Arabs and Israelis in the Middle Bast OfilleOvhat really matters is the tensions between and wife :When-he leaves his dirty socks sitting around the' bedroom floor instead of putting them away 'in the clothes hamper. There are Many bad jokes made about the troubles of a man and woman adjusting to each other in'the first' days .of their marriage but it's actually very,. true .as nearly anyone who has beeh married will admit. Really -When you think of it, .it's tribute to the flexibility of • human beings that'. th,ere ',aren't more marriages.that end in disaster because people can't• learn to do things a different Way. 'if people showed as much willingness to accommodate others in their whole life as they do in their marriage, die world would be a. better place.' We talk•about national unity but when. you , think of it.' each family is'a"liftle country of its ttwn. Each has its own rules, its own .cusioims which are alittle different than an the others When.two people who have been raised under two sets of customs for the first 20 years. of. their lives suddenly move in together, without any period of getting adjusted, it can be like two trains on the same track heading for a collision unless both parties are willing to give arid take on the things they are used to, In our family there's been a good ifeal of give and take. We settled the toothpaste issue by simply ignoring each other's habits. She still squeezes from the middle and I' squeeze from the end and to complicate things, we've got three kidS that squeeze anyplaCe in b.etWweeel tilad problems at first about cooking. It • wasn't that my wife wasn'fi*od cook, but just that she had been taught to cook things in ' her family a little differently than. I had been used to.in my family; My mother, for instance. believed in cooking roast beef until there wasn't any sign of red left in it. My wife's ' mother cooked her 'meat' far less. The first • time I visited my future inlaws and had a slice of roast' beef with the blood still oozing out of the middle I. thoUght they were going to have to pick me up off the floor: ' My wife converted me onAnost things to do • with food: hciwever. Today I can eat beef that is, if not rare, at least medium and actually can prefer it that way. She converted our • family to using brown sugar insiead of White • for things 'like cereal. She regularly uses ' whole wheat and- brown breads when" only: white 'appeared on our table back 'borne. So' we've manage&to Solve our problems in nearly all areas-:' except one. After ten y,earS of marriage we -still have not' been able to compromise fully on what time to go to bed. The problem is,that I'm a nightowl while. she's an early-to-bed person. I function .best in the -evenings and even into the -morning hours while she is long gone by thetn. She carne from a family ,that 'went to bed early wile my family watched the late movie, every •night oti television. When we first 'got' married she started yawning about 9:30 every night vk•ile I was just getting around to the time:licit...Rereading or working, We-had-a- hard time-getting adjUsted at all. Later years, she didn't have much of a choice. My work kept me out mitil'incdhight or so most nights of the week so she got tised to going to bed • ,without me. Now with three kids, roaring around the house all day long, I find,I want to .,continue to stay up late just to enjoy the hours of peace and quiet that come after they've finally gone to bed. There are times when we can still agree on a common' bedtime. She's moved back from • starting to yawn at 9:30 to about 10:30. I've moved up from 1 a.m. to midnight and usually about 11. Who knows, in another 10 years we may actually co-operate completely. But then, so might the Arabs and Israelis. r.
