WEEKLY TROUBLE HOUR
CURES MARITAL WOES

New YOrk's woman judge, Miss
Jean H. Norris, who presides oven
the Family Court" where distress
ed couples come to unburden them
selves of the reasons why they can't
get along together, has 4 new cure
for marital disagreements. She ad-
vocates that husband and wife set
aside a weekly trouble hour" cur
ing which they take up all their
quarrels, air them fully, and decide
them.
Instead of spreading their debates
and disagreements through all the
days of the week, they thus concen-
trate them in a single conference.
Il know a couple who tried it,"
she writes in The American Maga-
zine "They are both people of de-
cided opinions, and by nature in
clined to argue. They set aside enc
nour every week for talking over
small bOthers and authentic prob
lens. AS troubles arose they were
written down and put aside for final
reading before discussion. Half of
them were torn up before confer
ence hour. The other half had often
lost their sting before it came time
to consider them.
"!n the meantime, days and
nights flowed along without the
marital ship running aground on the
jagged little snags that otherwise
would have churned the stream and
buddied its clear color. Causes for
worry that weren't worth holding
over for the trouble hour nearly al
ways proved to be not worth talk
ing about at all.
