Postwar Talk

The postwar world was the
subject of the address given at the
Ell Centre Rotary club by DR.. STAN
lev Mckee of the Riverside First
Methodist church guest speaker at
the club luncheon Thursday noon
in the Barbara Worth hotel.
Fear caused by lack of under

ing must be developed among ma

Using Russia as an Illustration
DR.. Mckee pointed cut that this
countrys fear that Russia might at
tempt to impose her form OF gov

led to much misunderstanding. He
differentiated between the CON-
munistic doctrines OF Trotsky and
the strong nationalistic' program OF
Stain which he declared to be more
socialiStic than comnunlStlc.

SINGULAR FACTS SHOWN
IN REMARRIAGE SURVEY
{ Riverside Daily PreSS)

(RlVerslde DAILY PreSS)
One out of every eight brides or groomS,
in normal year, has been wed at least
once before. according to a recent survey.
The statisticians found that, age for age,
the rates of marriage for the widowed
and divorced-those who had already
tried the marriage state at least once
before-are much higher than the rates
for the single.
While separate data for divorced and
widowed persons remarr.lng were not
available in the records, Metropolitan
Life Insurance company statisticlanS say,
1T is apparent from other sources that
up to about age 10 the rates among those
previously married are colored strongly
by the large proportion of divorced per-
sons in the group. After age 40 the re-
marriage rates are influenced for the
most part by the widowed
At the younger ages-2O to "a for
women, and 20 to % for men-the re-
marriage rates are very high and not far
from half of those previously married
undertake another marital venture. This
prompts the StatiSticianS to remark that
"evdently many of those who marry at
the younger ages and find their first
marriage disrupted, lose little time in
establishing new marital ties.
The figures lead one to suspect that
a considerable proportion of the divorced
among these young people may have had
plans for remarriage before they broke
their earlier partnership.

WHEN DRIVES BECOME
PERMANENT ACTIVITIES

The public has become SO accustomed
TO drives" that sometimes permanent
activity is neglected, or rather it Is not
always sure when drive becomes
steady project.
About to close is the Fourth Bond drive
in Imperial county. But there are two
other activities which started as drives
which now are for the duration. one Is
for recovering waste paper, the other
salvaging kitchen fats.
Both these activities are vital to the
war and both are more or less tagging,
more especially the gathering of waste
paper. And of no fault of the public or
the agencies which have volunteered to
carry on. Any lag is due. for the major
part. to confusion at the source which
naturally reflects on the activity itself.
Boy Scouts and individuals have done
good Job on the paper campaign here
and are ready and willing to keep up
the good work The Valley is not alone
in delays on shipments after the paper
has been assembled. 1t is understood
that this drawback soon is to be remedied
when the move should speed up.
Then there has been, and still is, con-
fusion as to how to prepare waste paper
for pick-ups In the main, home folk will
be performing their part when they fold
old newspapers to the size in which they
come off presses and when thev COLLAPSE
cartons and bind them in flat bundles.
The two items should be tied up separ-
ately. Other items like empty bags and
the like also should be tied up separately.
1t isn't necessary to emphasize that
waste paper goes into many vital war
projects. some having to do with delicate
instruments.
When it is known that call has been
sounded to the nation to gather billion
tons of paper, this year, there can be
little doubt of its necessity.
In time some agency or other will pick
up the bundles if placed where they are
handy, preferably where other discarded
home articles are placed for pick-ups.
Nor should it deter efforts when one
contemplates the waste of paper before
it reaches the salvage state. Most anyone
can name many printings that we'll could
be dispensed with in this great drive.
That condition is just another one Of
''those things
The fat salvage activity is less trouble
and appears to be going along quite we'll.
The housewife merely needs to have a
metal container at hand. The saved
grease should be well-strained. 1t COM
paratively is easy to carry filled con-
tainer to any meat market for disposal
at rates already generally known.
Both activities deserve wide support.
