My problem isn't new one for

Please bear with me as l present
my problem 10 you, asking your
unbiased opinion.
l have been going with Bill for
year and one-half and received
my engagement ring last Christ
mas. He is "a and / am 20. There
is no doubt in the minds of either
of us as 10 the respect and affec-
ton we have for one another. and
we are aware of what is ahead
for US.
Bill was deferred by his draft
board last summer but for just
how long rests with the draft
officials. 1t may be months or it
may be just one month before he
is called--we don't know,
Our plans are TO be married in
May. even If Bill leaves in June.
Were he to go before. we would
try, l believe. to get a diSpensa-
ton TO be married. My mother
and father, with ~ best wishes
at heart, have advised us 10 wait
until the wars end. II is easy to-
say Wait" but It is another
thing TO have TO do Just that.
We are young, strong, capable
of working, and above all, sure
! that facing our problems together
would be better than facing them
alone. We are fond of each other
and "A long separation would GER
tainly be quite hard. Now. what
do you say? Don't pull any
punches, because we can take it,
Does the church allow any dis
pensationS for marriages during
Lent, and also does the church
make any allowance for these
wartime marriages, such as the
foregoing of the publication Of all

I'm A QUANDRl."
Dear In a Quandry":
you and Bill have known
each other long enough TO make
il evident that your marriage
would not be a hasty one, even
though contracted in wartime.
Your parents advice IN certainly
based on prudence and deserves
consideration; but the ultimate
decision rests with you and Bill.
