BY RUTH MILLETT

THE QUESTION of whether
or not young wives should go
ahead and have children during
wartime is entirely too individ-
ual a problem to be solved by
blanket Yes" or NO"
Yet women are getting a lot
of such gencral-and therefore
worthless advice-today on that
pressing problem.
The other day Clare Boothc
Luce-who wrote the play The
Women"-advised young wives
to 60 ahead and have children
now, saying that they could do
mo more patriotic or courage
Gus thing during wartime"
1t will be too bad if wives are
influenced by such general adj
vice-for assuming the response
bility for children is too import
ant a step to be taken just as
patriotic gesture.
Before she nobly decides to
have family in wartime wo-
man ought to ask herself these
questions:
FINANCIAL SECURITY

Divorce Often Destroys J
Character of Children

Out of every six marriages,
" one ends in divorce. Since
the proportion is so large, divorce
is problem paramount in many
minds today. How should it be
solved?
On behalf Of Cosmopolitan, Ryllis
and Omar Goslin made a survey of
couples involved in divorce for the
December issue of the magazine.
They also solicited the opinions of
the experts and received this word
from John Warren Hill, Presiding
Justice of New York City's Domestic
Relations Court.
Marriage is too easy and divorce
sometimes too difficult. The diculty
is sometimes too difficult. The diff
Guilty involved is with the children.
Divorce which takes away from the
child his home deprives him of that
essential security the loss of which
is so destructive of character. But
there is no security in a home
bombed and broken by emotional
outbursts. If parents fail to sub
merge self, child living with one
parent in peace will find greater
happiness than if forced to spend
his childhood in a bomb shelter"

Auto Registrations High

Registrations of automobiles and
trucks in the state increased by s
per cent in 1941, according to esti-
mates from preliminary figures,
and at the close Of 1941 an all-time
high number of motor vehicles were
operating on the highways of this
state. More than half of all the
families in the state now own auto
mobiles. Expansion of automo-
bile ownership during recent years
has been chiefly downward through
the low-income families" said Mr..
Daniel. During the past decade
the life expectancy of an automo-
bile has increased from eight to
twelve years. That means the av-
erage car made today has years of
added usefulness that are available
to families who can afford to buy
only second, third or fourth hand
cars. The result is that in the
United States there are more low
income families owning cars than
there are car-owning families, rich
and poor, in all the rest of the
world.

The special war fund drive
Of the local Red Cross chapter
starts today, and Smyrna's
quota is 1925. With the CO.
operation of every man, wo-

should be reached. Coming
right ON the heels of the regu-
lar Roll Cali, some people may
resent giving any contribution
on the grounds that there
have been so many places for
money to go, here lately. This
is certainly true.
A little sacrifice now, how
ever, may do a big thing later.
If a life is saved OF suffering
relieved, it is worth the dollar
or five dollars that had been
planned for something else. 1t
may mean scrimping a little
here and readjusting the bud

osity never hurt anybody, and
the sacrifice entailed won't set
the world on fire.
A large part of this war
fund money will go to Hawaii
and the Philippines, to relieve
the suffering there. Some of
it will be used to train and
equip defense workers here.

Federal, CityGov't
Act To Relieve
Housing Shortage

Steps taken by both federal and
city government to relieve the
housing shortage are welcomed by
victory workers who have been in
convenienced by lack of suitable
dwelling space.
Under the new rent ceilings set
by the office of Price Administra-
ton, immediate relief is given to
families who rent their homes and
whose rents have been raised dur
ing the past year. Effective June
LIST, all house rents reverted back
to the April 1871 schedule.
Although hotels and some APP
artment houses are not covered By
the freezing order, a general re-
duction of house rents will, it is
expected, make many individual
unit dwellings available for rem
tai.
More general remedying of the
housing shortage will come, how
ever, from action of the city couh-
ellis public safety committee in
