MARRIED LIFE
SPANS 20 YEARS

LOGAN, w. Va. Oct. 1-(UP) -
What does it take for a successful
marriage, one as successful as ours?
Well, nothing more than the patti
ence of Job and the wisdom OF
Solomon
That is the simple formula of
Dyke Garrett, a mountaineer
preacher, and his wife Sally, who
have made marriage work for 70
years without "a hitch and it's still
goin' on
Garrett and his wife celebrated
their 10th wedding recently, and
were overjoyed when "a couple Of
folks from the big towns came up
Just to see the woman who could
stand livin' with the same man for
10 years.
"Just Another Day"
Celebrated is hardly the word for
their anniversary. Garrett and his
wife didn't have party, didn't call
the folk from around Big Creek to
see them, they just "sort of had an
other day, like we always did.
To Garrett and his wife, recol-
lections of their life together ap-
pear to be more interesting than
the fact that another year has just
ended Miss Sally can look back
and still remember when she was
Dixie girl and married Gar
rett when he was a Confederate
soldier who stood IS foot 3 with
out his shoes and wasn't a'fear'd
O. nothin', dead or alive"
She can remember when he was
converted to religion, and became
"the babtizenist circuit ridin'

recall, and so can Garrett, morn
ings that it. was so cold he had to
break ice in mountain creeks to do

was so cold his boots froze to stir

Congress Will Try To Reorganize
Federal Administrative Machinery
@NEws-wEEk

Of the whole plan of reorganization
will make their strongest fight.
How far the President will go in
exerting pressure on Congress for
his reorganization plan, and in re-
newing his attempt to reorganize the
Supreme Court, remains to be seen.
There was very "cocky' feeling
among Senators and Representa-
tives when Congress adjourned, a
feeling that they had stood out
against the President and won,
in the Court fight. Many felt that
this was demonstration of the
independence Of the Legislative De-
partment of the Federal system, and
that it would be followed by further
demonstrations that the Executive
could no longer dictate to them.
That feeling has been strengthened,
rather than otherwise, by the re-
cent charges against Senator Hugo
Black of Alabama, recently named
to the Supreme Court bench.
The allegation, after Congress
had adjourned and Justice Black
had taken the oath of his new office
as a full-pledged member of the
Supreme Court, that he was a
member of the Ku Klux Klan, came
as surprise and shock both to the
President and to the Senate. A
similar charge was made when the
confirmation was pending, but was
denied in his behalf by Senatorial
friends, who blocked all efforts to
have a committee of investigation
look into the accusation. At that
time, and since, many Senators who
