TITO FEITPOINTS ON MIDDLE AGE To many women, the later years are the best of their Ikes. The fifties, sixties, even the seventies and eighties can be full of richness and quiet hap' piness. After a woman's children chil-dren have grown up she bos a new freedom, and an opportunity oppor-tunity to do many things that she could not while her family was ber first concern. She can travel, pursue some bobby, study or do any number of things. Perhaps ber greatest joy will be helping to care for ber grandchildren. Or she may want to give ber time to some charitable work. On the other hand, some women find the later years a miserable time. They feel useless, use-less, unwanted. Nothing seems worth doing. Usually these women have been unhappy all their lives. Wenda White is 50 and a widow. She is dependent upon her daughter, who has three children. Wenda's son-in-law doesn't like her and takes no pains to hide the fact. A way out has appeared suddenly, however, and Wenda is wondering won-dering what to do. An old admirer ad-mirer has asked her to marry him. He has a little property and could take care of her well. She is asking Miss Norris what course to follow. for herself, and a hundred of the younger desires and dreams will have been brushed aside like the worthless things they were. Not half enough has been said of the golden autumn beauty of the 50s. Any younger woman contemplating contem-plating them shudders away with horror. And too many women, reaching them, accept that horror as a true indication of what they mean and help to preserve the delusion de-lusion that the 50s are a lonely, superfluous time, when one doesn't belong and isn't wanted, anywhere. any-where. Actually the most useful women in the world are those between 45 and 65, and any woman who doesn't discover it when she reaches the earliest date is cheating herself. She can achieve complete happiness if she wilL Hotel Manager at 70. I could cite hundreds of cases of sensible women of 50 and more who are invaluable to their families; healthy, serene, busy. Hundreds more hold positions of dignity and trust; some do both. One woman, 70 years old this week, found herself widowed 20 years ago with a delicate deli-cate daughter, three small grandchildren grand-children and a son-in-law who was tubercular, all to be provided for. There was no talk of being superfluous super-fluous or untrained from Mary Carter, Car-ter, although for all her 50 years she had been an adored and pampered pam-pered daughter and wife.

I wonder what poor Wenda would have made of it? Peroxide Keeps Milk A new and simple chemical method meth-od of sterilizing milk has been developed de-veloped in Italy, the American Chemical society reports. The method involves adding two cubic centimeters of a 39 per cent solution of hydrogen peroxide to about a quart of milk and then stirring it It said that the treated treat-ed milk has a more pleasant taste than the pasteurized product. The treatment can be made at ordinary temperatures and is generally euec tive for about three days. PROGRESS OF COAL STRIKE . . .

She couldn't look up to se the exchange of Santa Claut glances between beaming motherj and little boys. Once was it but one Christmas ago? a little hand had held tightly to hers. She was Jostled by the merry rush. Children with bundles, moth-ers moth-ers and fathers and little boys! He, too, had carried packages that seemed too large for him, last Christmas Eve. "Mumsie, what's in this one?" he had asked, excitedly. ex-citedly. "It's so-o-o fat!" So clearly clear-ly now his question came to her, that she answered half aloud, "Oh, Billy, you Just wait until morning!" morn-ing!" A dry sob, catching at her throat, seemed to steady her. She must pull herself out of it At six-thirty six-thirty her "Children's Hour" must be on the air. "Fairy Godmother," the children had named her. Thousands of little figures, crowding crowd-ing close to the loud speaker, listened lis-tened breathlessly "Little sol diers," she called these little pain-weary pain-weary bodies. The Fairy Godmother shut her eyes. In imagination, her arms held her own little crippled soldier, who fought so bravely against infantile paralysis. But promises of Santa Claus must go out to them. Unconsciously Un-consciously she ended with the words: "But you Just wait until morning!" Unrecognized by her, it was bitterness bit-terness that kept her from reading the scrawled, childish messages that camn to her. Tonight the basket bas-ket seemed to mock her. A tipsy little envelope, sliding from the top, seemed to block her way out She stared at it, stooped, picked it up. It clung to her hand, pleading. plead-ing. From it she drew a soiled card and deciphered the words: "Dere fairy godmother, there is bugles with horses on them ain't there.

I - C - '.-""Y.'li J - f' ' Janet Pushed Through the Crowdi a bugle with a horse on It! Two hours she searched, fruitlessly. Then, like a flash it came to her. She would have a email horse soldered sol-dered to the bugle. Over-ruling the salesman's objections that there wasn't time, she emerged triumphant trium-phant with the coveted gift. Again the words: "Mumsie, what's in this one? It's so-o-o fat!" Breathlessly she entered the I brightly lighted room of Children's Hospital, where the annual Christ-imas Christ-imas party was almost over. She slipped the package behind the tree and sank into a chair. Her eyes drifted across the room to Jimmy Dean. Even if he had not held a tiny bugle, she would have known him by the bravery behind the disappointed dis-appointed eyes. And when one is an orphan, even fairy godmothers sometimes fail you. Santa was now taking up the package, saying, "This goes to Jimmy Jim-my Dean." Doctor Janet watched the transformation trans-formation on Jimmy's face and eyes. It was like the look, like the light in her arms tightened, but the child was gone. Bewildered, frightened, fascinated, she stared at the child in the wheelchair. The eager little hands fumbled with the gay ribbon, then the biggest shiniest shini-est bugle came into view. He hugged it to himselt "I knew, oh, I knew he would bring it if I asked ber to teD him!" Janet sat there, entranced. Nurses were taking their charges away, and Jimmy was out of sight And then, somehow, she was running run-ning after him, and her arms were about it BLOCKING PRACTICE ...
