ton.
If she feels that every means for
reconciliation has been exhausted,
and that there is no hope for the
marriage, then I see no reason
why she should isolate herself
from men. friends. However, if
there are children involved, /
would recommend that husband
and wife honestly try to smoothe
out their differences.
It has long been my conviction
that the majority of divorces
would never occur, if the marriage
were entered wisely, intelligent
ly and with true love and affec-
ton. If both parties are compat-
ible in age, social background and
religion, there is good reason to
believe that the marriage will be
successful. However, if one or

tract have Objectionable personal

Oct. 26-NOv. 2 Is
Set AS Apple Week

'In these days of acute short
ages, it is comforting to know
that one inexpensive, nutritious
food is plentiful" M. E. Gard
ner, head of the horticulture de-
partment at State College in max
ing this statement adds that
special week, October 26-Novem-
Der 2, has been set aside in recog-
milton of this fact.
Naming Halloween, October 81,
as Apple Day, the International
Apple Association has revived an
old custom which lay dormant
during the war years in re-estab-
fishing National Apple Week.
North Cardinals apple crop,
Gardner says, like that in most
other apple-producing areas
stretching even into Canada,
shows prospects of being quite
good this year after a poor sea-
son year ago. He emphasizes
that apples may be used in num-
Der of ways in cooking to stretch
what otherwise might be skinny
menus due to the severe food
shortages this fall.
In addition, he says, the apple.
long noted for keeping the doc
tor away" is indeed a nutritious.
healthful food. One of its chief
values to the human diet is its
contribution of Vitamin A. Some
varieties of apples have been
found to rate higher than oranges
IN this necessary nutrient. Wit
amin A is essential to the respir-
atory system of the human body.
AS with all foods, apples will
probably average higher this year
than in the years before the war,
but because of the plentiful sup
ply produced in our own noun
tain sections they should be less
expensive on North Carolina
markets than many other import
ed foods, Gardner concludes.

The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, d. d.

When is it legitimate to obtain
a divorce? A correspondent raises
this question. The answer varies.
Practically everyone who seeks
and obtains a divorce thinks his
reasons are legitimate.
AS far as Civil Law is concern
ed laws governing marriage and
divorce are passed by the various
states. What is recognized as
grounds for divorce in one state
are not recognized in another. In
North Carolina, for instance,
while there are a number of rec
Ognized grounds for divorce, the
majority are obtained by two
years separation.
This correspondent, separated
from her husband for year, ad-
mits that she is lonely, and de-
Slres male companionship. At the
same time she questions whether
she should accept dates as long
as she is married to another man,
although she is legally separated
from him. She admits that her

considerable probability that
drunkenness may be encountered
later. Never a week passes that
does not bring letters from wives
with alcoholic husbands whose
homes are falling apart as a re-
suit of it. All too often marriage
infidelity goes along with it. There
is no law of the land nor of the
Bible which compels a man or
woman to live with an unfaithful
alcoholic mate. Divorce is GER
tainly permissible here.
But l can never escape the
question concerning such letters,
WHY MUST THIS COME UP?
WHY WASN'T THE MARRIAGE
KEPT IN REPAIR?
