Leland Doinqs

On Thursday, July 8 at Local
SO4 there will be two very special
meetings. One at 1890 for the
night shift workers and one meet
ing at 7:30 p. m. for the day
workers. At these meetings the
report of the nominating commit
tee will be received. Also at these
meetings nominations from the
floor will be accepted. It is the
duty of every Leland worker to
come to the meeting and take
your responsibility in the choice
of candidates for the coming year.
The next few years will bring
great responsibilities to not only
each union leader, but to each
and every one of us who belongs
to a union. The union officer can
only carry out his program which
you have made with your strong
est support. Why expect your Of
ficers duties to be more than their
just share?
This will be the New Year as
far as your activities are con-
cerned so let's each and every one
of us pledge ourselves to attend
more meetings and to be able to
say: "I DID MY SHARE THIS
YEAR TOWARD MAKING MY
UNION BIGGER AND BETTER"
Well be seeing you next Thurs
day at the meeting.

Guild Gives

Before an enthusiastic audience

ming, July l.
Under the capable direction of
C. Harrison Fenner, of Delco UE
Local 755, who worked hard and
long, we wish to offer our con-
gratulations for producing such a
splendid show. To those who we're
unable to attend the show, we are
sorry that you missed such a fine
undertaking.
Bro. Fenner, on behalf of the

check for $4,000 to the Soldiers

derived from the profits of the
two performances of the CLIO

When Should I Apply?

NOW! The important thing is to register for employment at
United States Employment Service so that it will be known
that you can be counted upon. In the great majority of cases
placements will be made Immediately.
, 1943-07-09
Where Do / Apply to Get a Job?

The best thing to do is to apply at the United States Employ
ment Service, II West Monument Avenue. This saves your
time. They have requests for help from 40 employers, no
other source can possibly put you in touch with SO many
openings. However, if you have a specific place in mind
where you want to work, you can apply direct. IF they do
not hire you, please register with U. S. Employment Service.
If one place doesn't need you, another does.

A demand by the Detroit Prop

transportation facilities and

"My personal reaction TO this

Officials Explain
Divorce Increase
Working Wives,
War, Draft Blamed
as Marriages Fall Off

What's wrong with marriage
That IS what Detroit was won
dering today as CaSpar J. Linge-
man, county clerk, revealed that
the city's divorces were creeping
up alarmingly on the citys mar
rlageS.
July's tally: marriages, 1883
divorces, Psi
In one week in July, there were
more divorces than marriages.
Says Hazen +. KunZ, chief as
sistant of the friend of the court
where 80 per cent OF the divorces
come for refereeing:
THE figures are not quite
what they seem. Many of our
divorces are those of out-Of-
state people who have just COM
pleted that years residence. IL
would be like taking RenO's
divorce figures and making n
case for the whole country.
That is not To say our divorces
are not gaining. They are.
THE reasons? There are a
lot of them.
FEW MEN LEFT
"First, it is not surprising
that marriages are slumping.
There is nobody left for the
girls to marry II their boy
friends are away in service eX-
cept AIS or other women's
husbands.
Second, women moving into
shops have brought about a lot
of domestic trouble. Hereto
fore, the women haven't met
any men except their husbands
and men in shops had little OPP
portunity to meet girls. 1t
works both ways. Men working
seven days a week, and women
too, are under tension. IL makes
for trouble"
Kunz advised couples TO adop
budgets, whether or not both were
working. TO avoid financial argu
mentS.
NO SYSTEMATIC SAVING
Women go to work and as
sumo they can spend all their
money on themselves with hus-
bands paying the extra added
expense of laundry, help i'm the
home, and upped food costs" he
said. Few of these families are
doing any systematic saving, IL
would appear from our records.
"And there Is little to spend
their money on-food, drink,
clothes, amusements. They can't
load up with instalment buying,
these days.
From our records, / assume
women are drinking more than
they were. At least that Is be-
ing charged more and more fire.
quentIy by husbands"
A check of 1000 cases revealed
that women were earning an aver
age of $48.19 and men $54.7
weekly, a large increase from pre-
vious family earnings.
5-YEAR MARRIAGES END
oddly enugh, IL seems to be
the marriages of more than five
years standing that are going
to pieces" KunZ asserted. II
can't say why, except the In
creased freedom of the women
because of their employment,
and the increased earning ca
pacity of the husbands which
makes IL financially possible TO
seek divorce.
"Of these many war mar
riages, IL is too soon to speak.
Maybe, most of them will work.
We hope so. But when house
wives begin to earn, the first
thing they think of Is liquidat-
ing their husbands. The poor,
bewildered male can't under
stand. I admit that often IL
works the other way too, and
the wife is left hurt, frantic
and bewiIdered."
The most bitter arguments IN
divorce suits are over household
possessions, KunZ said.

NEED ANOTHER AIRPORT

Even II the old county air
port Is returned to us, or the
city builds the proposed De-
quindre airport and another one
Is built downriver. ours will still
have plenty Of use" Smith re-
piled
I'VE will need freight and
passenger fields and private fly
ing airports. Any airport the
county puts up will be
standby for military needs, for
the air police force which we
will need to keep us from n
third war"
