The Way of f ife
/GRETCHEN MUI^LER. 2624
Grand Concourse. New York
City, was. as she claims, for-
tunate enough to Ret to America
before World War II. But she
knew the rigors of life in the
Germany she had left, and when
she married a young man of Ger-
man parents, she didn't mind in
the least holding down a job to
help out for a few years. Many
American girls were doing the
same. But she did what most of
those American girls did not do,
turned her earnings over to her
ht.-band. He decided what they
could afford to pay for her winter
coat: how much rent should be
paid, what they would allot for
food, how much should be spent
for their pleasure. This came from
Grotchen's earnings. The same
amount from his he put in the
bank—in his name.
After three years Gretchen
found she was going to increase
the'r family. Too bad, thought her
husband, they were not yet ready.
But the family increased, and
twins! Two little girls. The father
would have preferred boys; girls
were more of a burden than boys.
(That is what he thought.)
Bv and by as money was needed
for the children, she fcit she had a
right at least to spend her own
money. Her husband differed.
Now she decided to confront her
problem. She had come to believe
that a man doesn't necessarily
own a woman merely because they
have been issued a marriage cer-
tificate. She thought, and thought,
and planned! Finaliy, she told
her husband she wasn't going to
live with him any more. Struck
with surprise, her husband first
became angry. There must be
some other man Finally he was
convinced there was not. But he
would not give in to her "unreason-
able demand" that she keep and
spend her own earnings. She was
adamant: she was leaving. She
planned to take the children to
her mother. Here her husband
had the upper hand. She couldn't
have the chiidren!
This was the time for strategy.
Gretchen was equal to it. "All
right," she said, "you can keep
them. I can take care of myself
but I'm not sure I can take care
of two children and it's not fair
to burden my mother with them.
It was a full 2! hours before he
came to her. He had thought it
over, and since they were in a
new country he would follow the
customs of that country.
TN THE good old Summertime
lour pursuit of pleasure takes us
to the worid outdoors and what-
ever our particular form of rec-
reation may be. chance! are that
we will be near water.
Swimnung. boating and Oshing.
of course, are three sports where
water is directly involved. Every
Summer thousands of men, wom-
en and children who are not com-
petent swimmers indulge in these
sports in one degree or another
—and many of them needlessly
drown.
For safety's sake, when you art
around water, keep your head at
all times. If you cannot swim, be
"sissy" and stay in the shal-
low water. If you consider your-
self an expert swimmer, don't
push your luck by swimming toe
far from shore or swimming with-
<.t:t a companion. If you tlnd your-
self in swift water or a dangerous
cu.'t'cnt. don ' get excited or pan-
icky. Swim diagonally across the
current, siowly. Don't buck it,
make it work for you.
If your boat turns over, again,
don't get excited Whether you are
an expert swimmer or a begin-
ner you can save yourself by keep-
j ing your nerve and clinging tc
^ your boat.
I Body cramps and current arc
dangerous hazards but equally
dangerous is the act of getting
panicky in the water. H you and
yourself in a dangerous situation,
make an effort to conserve energy
and not waste it flailing about ic
the water. You'll drown only if you
lose control, give out of breath,
swallow water, or tire yourscli
out too quickly.
If your favorite sport takes you
on the waterways, it's wise to be
able to handle yourself in the
water. If you are a non-swim-
mer and intend to pursue your
hobby—swimming lessons are the
ni! t protitablc investment in
sa'. ty you can make. And you
are never too old to learn.
