WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Always stay together! never be
separated single day or night
That was the advice of Americas
Oldest arried couple-recently
separated by death after 81 years
CT marriage-gave to young married
couples several years ago.
AT the tima it was probably good
advice. But in the next few years
the number one marriage problem
Is going to be how to keep the
foundation OF marriage firm when
the husband and wife are living
thousands of miles apart.
The old rules for a successful
marriage won't help those couples
who arc separated by distance, by
lack OF security, and by the fact
that they are both going through
different experiences and leading
totally different kind of lives.
That being true, couples sepa-
rated by war will have to work
out their own rules.
They'll have to bank heavily on
their faith in each other, and on
their plans for the future.
They'll have TO fight falling into
this-iS-War frame Of mind that
would let them excuse behavior
that doesn't measure up to the
code of morals they have always
believed in.

BETTER KEEP HANDS OFF
(OrOville Mercury

(OrOVille Mercury
Congress is said TO be getting ready
to enact legislation that will prevent the
drafting of married men with children.
They want to limit the size of the army
so that married men with children will
not be needed That is laudable ambi
ton, but let us see what has brought con-
greSs to that frame of mind.
1t was brought about by the so-called
"work-or-fight' order. Under it, mar
ried men with children who have not
changed to vital war industries before
April will be subject to the draft.
Now, it is very important that man
power be shifted from non-essentlal in
dustries to those that are essential to the
job of whipping the Axis. The order
already has had remarkable effect by
influencing men to seek Jobs in war work
on the farms The effect will be more
marked as the deadine draws near. The
purposa of the order is not so much to
draft these men with children into the
army as it is to influence them to go to
work for their country.
1t would be better for the country If
congress kept hands off and allowed the
order to have the full effect desired Of

Edison Dep|ores U. 5.
Sappine Of States Power
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
TRENTON, N. j.. Jan 12.-Gov.
Charles Edison, calling for mod
ernization of New Jerseys 1874
constitution, told the incoming
Legislature yesterday that Washing
ton was swallowing the powers and
functions of States because anti
quated constitutions and inefIicient
governments had sapped them Of
virility to cope with present-day
problems.
Gov Edison, former Secretary of
the Navy in President Roosevelt's
cabinet, said he stood with those
who "deplore the concentration of
power in Washington and profess
to see in the increasing Federal
authority a threat to popular gov
ernment."
"The growth Of Federal power is
constantly accelerated by the failure
Of the States themselves" he said
In a message to the 18TH Legis-
lature.
"Whe nthey insist upon attempt
ing to operate under constitutions
that are unequal to present-day
needs, and when there is a national
Government aware Of those needs
and able to act, power Is sure to
flow to that Government which will
exercise it."
Gov. Edison, Democrat starting
his last year Of a three-year term,
has tried unsuccessfully in the past
to get the overwhelmingly Repub-
lican Senate and Assembly to agree
to constitutional revision. He is
barred by the constitution from sue
ceeding himself.
