DEAR ABBY I am writing a paper on modem marriage

From the wife’s point of view, what is the most common

From the husband s point of view, what is the most
peditiously" when it took eight weeks to act on
his nomination to be vice president. It has only
been three weeks longer than that since
Rockefeller was nominated and considering
the task of the investigators, we believe
congressional action by the end of December--
which leaders of both houses have predicted-
would be expeditious as well.
A SECOND REASON Ford's scolding over
the delay puzzles us concerns the trip to
Japan, South Korea and the Soviet Union.
If the President is worried about the nation
not having a vice president, why is he leaving
the U.S. and visiting places like Japan, the
scene of violence in protest of the Ford trip.
Ford could give no good reason during his
Thursday night news conference why he
should not postpone the trip until Rockefeller
is confirmed. There does not appear to be
anything so pressing about the trip that it
could not wait a few weeks.

This is not the first time that the city has

there are times when the city should pay for

—The Editors
IT IS RIDICULOUS that the city, which
receives many benefits and funds from state
and federal offices, cannot also spend some of
its own funds for purposes that may lead to
bigger and better benefits and funds for our
area.
We are referring specifically to the op
position bv two councilmen. Gene Drechsler
and Will Nordman, to the city paying $120.62
tor a luncheon to honor Orville Saunders, a
former mayor and the man who has worked
long and hard to bring more water to Altus and
western Oklahoma
THE LUNCHEON also honored Gilbert
Stamm, director of the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation, the top man in the bureau which
is responsible for construction of the Tom
Steed Reservoir.
There is a no way to ascertain the great
amount of time, and expenses that Orville
Saunders expended out of his own pocket for
the benefit of our city, and the city paying for a
luncheon in his honor is a very small token
indeed for his great work.

seemed to fall on the mere
fact that the Federal Re-
serve Bank raised the
amount of interest Any
business that can’t survive a
1 per cent raise must be
skating on thin ice.
"Why, even the poor farm-
ers took a raise of from 6 to
10 per cent, with another 10
per cent to get a loan from a
bank It took all that to
break him and nobody con-
nected with the government
paid any attention But let
Wall Street have a night-
