The High Cost
Of Licenses
Is Good Idea
By RUTH MILLETT

The Pittsburgh OPA headquar
tiers recently had a telephone cal
from an outraged bridegroom
Said he: They charged me $3.50
for a marriage license this morn
ing. She's nice girl and all that
but there has to be limit to these
things
The OPA assured the disgrun
tied young man that they had moth
ing to do with the price of mar
riage licenses.
It might not be bad idea il
the price would go up on mar
riage licenses-as it has on most
other things.
Because if a man kicked about
the initial cost of getting married
girl could figure out for herself
that he would kick every time she
bought a new hat, piece of fur.
niture for the living room, or got
the works at a beauty salon.
UPKEEP IS COSTLY
And think what such a husband
would say Of the initial cost d
a baby, and the subsequent up.
keep.
On the other hand it might be
a good idea for a man to know
at the start that marriage is an
expensive proposition, and that nc
matter how much a marriage Ii
cense costs, that is only the be.
ginning.
If a marriage license cost even
as much as car license a lot
of stingy men might never get to
the altar-which would be fine
break for women.
And those who didn't bat an eye
at the cost of a license to wed
Susie would probably not protest
too much at her upkeep.
The only mistake the OPA in
Pittsburgh made was in not get
ting the prospective bridegroom S
name and getting in touch with
his bride-to-be to report: "Your IL
ance thinks $3.50 is too much for
marriage license. Do you also
want to protest it?'
That bit of OPA interference In
the affairs of others might have
saved girl from marrying a
tighWad.

lation of Manila was 625, 900.
