Butter Rises 10 Csc
In Chain Stores; Eggs
Also Go Up 10 S4c

Butter prices in two major chains
today were at 95 cents a pound, be-
lieved to be a new postwar high,
while home delivery dairies asked
as much as SO cents.
Both wholesalers and retailers,
however, refused to indulge in pre-
dictions of 81 butter. They said
they believed the Washington house,
wife just wouldn't buy it at that
figure.
The 95-cent price at one chNin
is for butter in solid pounds, with
that wrapped in quarter pounds
selling for cent more. Correspond
ing highs for this chain in Septem-
Der, the previous postwar peak, were
SO and 94 cents. The increases have
been put on since earlier this week
The other chain reported two
brands of butter sold at 95 cents
and third at SO cents a pound. All
three are sold in quarter pounds.
Wholesale butter prices yesterday
remained about the same, though
some grades edged up half a cent
a pound. Wholesale changes are
usually reflected within a few days
at the retail counters.
Eggs, too, are still on the up
swing. Top grade in the same chain
are now selling for "a cents dozen
up 2 cents a dozen, up 2 cents over
last week end, but still l cent under
the September peak of IS cents q

le switch when butter prices soar
also is going up. One popular brand
was selling today for 81 cents q
pound, while others have crept into
the low 40s per pound.

1o48 British Divorce Rate Seen
Reuchinq One in Four MARRIAGES

The English separation and divorce
rate will probably reach one in four
marriages this year, Dr.. David c.

Marriage Guidance Council of Eng
land, said here today.
DR.. Mace, in Washington for talk
at 8 o'clock tonight at the First

ment in a press conference this
morning at the Washington Fedora
ton of Churches, 1751 N street NV
There has been a steady increase
in the number Of marriage break
downs in England since l943, DR..
Mace explained. He pointed out
that separation in England is viewed
quite as seriously as divorce In
America.
DR.. Mace, noting there has been
a landslide" breakdown Of moral
standards in England since the war,
said that no less than 40 per cent
of girls under 20 married. recently
were pregnant on their wedding
day.
The disintegration Of family life

dition In England is one Of the ma
jor factors In the breakdown OF
married life. He said that at one
period during the war traditional
family life as England knew it did
not exist.
DR.. Mace explained the Marriage
Guidance Council was organized In
1888 to attack the problems that
even then were injuring family life
With the war, the councils efforts
were widened and attempts made to
deal with the overwhelming number
of strained marriage relations. The
council, at first. set up in London
and later extended to 100 other
cities, seeks to meet these difficult
ties by an educational program, a
marriage preparation program for
engaged couples and marriage coun-
selling for married couples having
difficulties.
DR.. Mace said government COM
mittee has recommended govern
ment aid for marriage problems
along the lines used by the council.
He said the British government will
not operate such q service, but will
aid a voluntary agency in doing so.
DR.. Mace will address q workshop
for ministers and marriage coun-
cilors tomorrow noon at the First
Baptist Church.
