There is a problem trying
to decide why so many young
husbands in our village prefer
having their Sunday morning
coffee in a restaurant instead
of at home. Can it be that their
dear little wives do not make
good coffee, do they burn the
toast, bacon and eggs? Is it
that the htisbands cannot
face their wives after the night
before? Is it instead that the
men are being chivalrous, let-
ting their "little women" have
a restful, sleep-in morning, or
do they just enjoy gossiping with
Other husbands over a morning
Cup of coffee?

A good number of Indus-
triOuS housewives have been ob-
served, on the good days we have
had, energetically cleaning and
putting on storm windows, without
the help of a man. It is great
to have that kind of capability•
and drive . Regretably there
are some of us weak females
that lack the necessary strength
or urge , to struggle with the
awkward things and wait patient-
ly for a willing, "know-how"
male to lend a helping hand.

pressing concern for their
family's welfare.
"Drugs, are freely available
In both primary and secondary
schools in our cousty,", prxiis
reports. crl'here is free access
and liberal sale of drugs here."

the viewing of the film, It is
also hoped that discussion be-

will develop at home after the
entire family has seen the film.

vention portion of the program,"
said Dr. Mills. "It is aimed at
informing the people who are
curious or who are experiment-
ing with drugs about their
effects."
The second step, Dr. Mills

to drug users the route to Ire°
treatment. The third and final
