she would not have that rushed
feeling. those nagging doubts that
sometimes still persisted.
She could give another small
item to the papers, simply stating
that due to present circumstances
the marriage had been postponed.
No one would think anything of it,
everyone would agree it wss the
sane and sensible procedure. Yet,
contradictory to all this. although
not contradictory to being a woman,
Karen felt sorry for the postpone
ment now. Even a little disappoint-

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

CHAPTER TwENTY-EIGHr
KAREN WAS proud that Paul
had joined up with the Civil Air
Patrol as soon as war had been de-
clared. Paul not only offered his
services, but lis private plane rs
well. 1t was the sort of thing she
would have expected him to do. 1t
was the sort of thing every Ameri-
can would want to do. man. woman
and child. There would be work for
each. in his own field. Karen her
self would find part. no matter
how small it might seem. Cor this
was every Americans war now.
When Paul told her that he might
apply later for a commission in the
regular Air Forces. depending upon
subsequent events AMI upon her. he
meant that he felt she should have
part in that decision. IF should
go into the regular Service" he told
Karen. you may want To postpone
that wedding date that was in last
Sundays papers"
But why" Karen asked. She
had given that date To the papers
SO that there would be no postpone
ment.
For n good many reasons" Pau!
returned. His manner was light, but
only to cover the seriousness of
what they were discussing. That
misunderstanding that had arisen
over Buffy still hung between
them. although it had nothing to
do with the matter under discus
sion now. 1t haG not been brought
up again. 1t probably would not
be. with so many more important
matters hanging fire. For one, |
would be sent away. mighty far
away, Australia. India. or any one
or those tiny dots on the map that
stand for our last outposts in the
vast Pacific. And I might not come
back. darling" He still spoke in the
same light tone, his dark eyes smil-
ing into hers.
Karen knew he stated this last

OF dying, not for his country. SO.
although she was afraid for him.
as women always have been for
those they love. her heart swcllcd
with, even more pride.
Acceptance-there it was again
Martin Haliday's philosophy.
Karen wondered fleetingly, as she
had during these last days since
that Hateful Sunday, how war
would affect that odd young man.
Would he sign up immediately,
too? Would he be eager to do his
part? Would he accept whatever
this might mean and bring to him?
1T wouldn't be fair to VOL" Paul
was saying. after she had replied
That she still did not see what his
going so far away or not coming
back, had to do with changing that
wedding date. Il thought I could

OF scntimentality that might be at
tached to the things of the spirit.
This followed the code of their
day-to discard the faith of their
fathers. to be nonchalant on every
occasion. to present always n So
phisticated front in order to cover
up what might lie beneath such n
glittering armour.
In proof Of things that did lie I'M
dcrneath was Paul's embarrass-

Karen. that he mist make her look

was something else almost too big

suffered any sense of shyncss or

important. She had thought it

Paul said again. "if you found you

might not come back. Or again, lie
might come back. but not the
same man who went away, perhaps
as further burden. But you know

perhaps we ought to postpone that

records available to show that
cousin marriages should be sup
pressed?
81 have known of quite few
of these marriages. and the chill
dren are all FORMAL in every re-
spect. My idea is that if the par
ents and grandparents of the
cousins are normal people, their
children will BE- the same. Nat
urally there are bad cousin mar
riages, but what about the rest of
the people. Just to clear the rec
ords, what are the actual facts?
Great Brit:in and Canada recog-
nize such marriages. How many
Of the states do?
81 believe it wouldn't matter
whom people with bad hercdity
married, the children would be low
grade"
Doctor Agrees with Statements
agree with my correspondent
in every statement. lie. or she. has
made very scientific resume Of
the exact situation.
Two principles apply which may
be stated thus:
If the hercdity of the contract
ing parties Is good, cousin mar
liages result in vigorous and
healthy offspring. All the good
qualities in the family tree are
accentuated.
If there are bad hereditary elc-
ments in the family tree, both
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1943-08-10
Marriages Of Cousins

cousins share them and thew are
likely to be accentuated in the off,
spring.
As my correspondent says. these
bad hereditary traits are likely to
crop up no matter whom the car
rier of the genes marrieS. but it is
true that cousin marriage in
creases. in fact doubles, the
chances Of their appearance.
When we speak of bad heredi-
tary traits we mean something
that can be measured. such rs i'm
bccility, idiocy, Observation-Disclosures,
deaf-mutism, criminal tendencies,
Huntington's chorca, muscular
atrophy, etc.
Studies of Cousin Marriages
Alexander Graham Bell made
many studies of the nations blind
and deaf and found 4 large num-
Der of cousin marriages. In GER
tain inbred families on Martha's
Vineyard he found IL per cent of
deaf mutiSm. Studies made on one
OF the peninsulas of Chesapeake
Bay showed an abnormal number
Of dwarfs.
Such are some of the bad re-
suits of cousin marriages. | sup
pose the remnants of the prejudice
against it is that cousins who are
fceblc-minded or even mentally
below par tend to cling together
because they are uncomfortable
in the presence of people mentally
alert.
Examples of good cousin mar
riagcs are among the Puritans of
New England, specifically the Ed
wards family. And the modern
citizen Of our land needs only to
look at the White House, whose
occupants represent cousin mar
iiage, and certainly the offspring
are a handsome, healthy and bril-
liant grCIp.
