quest of $16,410.2O from the

of increase include salary
changes for the present person.

Scout camp and additional funds

zation and extension of scout
ing, Program includes scouting
facilities for both white and col
ored boys in the community.
Mrs. Leon Ellis, president of
the Central Y. w. C A., and 9TH
er representatives of this agen-
cy presented a proposed budget
of $31,780.51. Requ ested cam
paign ALLEGATION from the Com
munity Chest was $14,734.15,
plus a reallocation of $1246.36
carried over from the 1947 bud
get. Representatives explained
that besides funds from the
Community Chest, receipts are Sc
cured from membership and
health education fees and from
rents at the residence. 1t was
pointed out that the annual
membership drive of the "Y" is
approved annually by the Bud
get Committee and that resi-
dence receipts are based on ac-
tual operating costs since this
facility is provided by the agency
as community service on
non-profit basis. The budget in
creases proposed for the coming
year are brought about because
of the addition of a new staff
member to conduct a program
tor young adults at the "Y" and
because of increased mainten-
ance costs for the residence and
activities buildings.
The budget of the Susie r
Dudley Branch of the Y. w q
A. totalling $S,SS6.15, was pre-
sented by Mrs. B w. Barnes
CHAIRMAN of the Branch Com
m1ttee of Management. This
agency, which was. admitted to
the Chest in the campaign of.

the Chest, pointing out that an
anticipated $1,7OO would be

out that this Branch Y. w. G. A

AGENCIES PRESENT NEEDS
TO The COMMUNITY CHEST

Five Red Feather agencies OF
the Greensboro Com m u n t y
Chest presented their estimated
needs for 1948 at the first Of
three review sessions before the
Chest Budget Committee Fri
day, July 25. j. A Lybrand, Jr.,
budget chairman, announced
that other sessions including all
sixteen Red Feather agencies,
are scheduled for August 1 and
5. Appearing at Fridays meet
ing were representatives from
the Greensboro Rest Cottage,
Travellers Aid Society, General
Greene Council Boy Scouts of
America, Central Y. w. G A,
and the Susie B. Dudley Branch
Y. w. G. A.
The five agencies requested
total ALLEGATIONS from the Chest
: of $51,113.5O, toward operating
budgets for 1948. The combined
requests represent an increase of
SIS, 5,26O.9O over ALLEGATIONS for
the current year.
Total budget needs for these
five agencies as proposed in re-
ports submitted amounted to
$81, ,459.S6; however, it is an
ticipated that $30,346.36 of this
sum will be available from other
sources during the coming year.
Mrs. T. Moody Stroud, presi-
dent of the Greensboro Rest Cot
tage board, submitted pro-
posed budget for this agency of
$40, $500, of which $5,655 is
requested from the Community
Chest, an increase of $500 over
the 1947 ALLEGATION. The re-
naming $4,000 is anticipated in
receipts from patients who pay
a minimum fee, if financially
able. Increase in costs of food
and drugs account for the re-
quested increase from this
agency.
Proposed budget for the Tray
elers Aid Society of $S,22S was
submitted by o. Frank York,
agency president. An estimated
$1,100 will be available from
contributions by the railroad and
bus stations and the remaining
$7l2S was requested from the
Chest. This represents an in
crease of $556 over the 1947
campaign ALLEGATION. The Tray

with the U. S. Army to work
with a soil survey project IN
southern Japan.
Lee, who holds the title of as
sociate professor of Agronomy,

ment was given to Lee, accord
ing to the announcement from
DR.. Ralph w. Cummings, head

perience with the soils of the

tered into lightly, quickly become
backgrounds. Who hasn't heard
the old wisecrack that an appro-
pirate marriage hymn is, THE
Fight Is on" Marriage quickly
becomes a fight, when it is en-
tered into selfishly, and with God
left out.
When a man and woman mar
ry, they enter into a contract, for
better Or for worse" 1t should
be and can be, "for better" But
all too often it is "for worse"
The rising divorce rate indicates
that.
Let it be remembered that a
man and woman must reach phys
ical maturity before they can con-
summate marriage. During the
years of growth they have been
reared in entirely different en-
vironments in which they have
acquired variety of different
habits:
There must be a common de-
nominator if it is to succeed That
, must be more than physical at
traction, if it is to develop into a
fine satisfying companionship in
stead of increasing warfare. There
must be a willingness to give and
take. Above all, we should re
member that the perfect common

Marriage should be the happiest
and most satisfying of human ex-
periences. It was ordained by
God to be such, and when enter
ed into with His blessing, and
contaminated under His sought
direction, it is. When we leave
God out of marriage, anything
can happen, and often it is a
tragedy. An awful example of a
goddess and bitter marriage comes
through the Associated Press
from New Albany, Indiana. Here
a circuit jury acquitted Mrs.
Goldie Sutton, 43, on a first de-
gree murder charge in the shoot
ing of her husband, Guy, IS, after
hearing her testify that he had:
Broken her collarbone by
throwing her over a cliff. Stepped
on her neck. Poured kerosene on
her and tried to set her clothing
afire. Tried to slash her throat
with razor. Threatened to pour
hot grease on her. Singed her
hair with shotgun blast"
Such a domestic tragedy did
not happen all at once. The
parties were not young, but mid
dle-aged. They had evidently
been fighting together for years,
with final and tragic results.

The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1947-03-13
MORE INTEREST?

This newspaper will maintain an attitude Of
strict neutrality in the contest that has now developed
in our city elections. The Tribune-Herald is the only
newspaper here, and it does not seem quite just for it
to take sides.
However, we are pleased to see the contest de-
velop, principally because we feel that it may give all
citizens of Hardin a greater interest in city govern
ment. An election where there is only a single candl-
date for each office is dull indeed and stimulates no
interest in administrative affairs.
During the war, when everyone had more work
than he could do well. it was a real sacrifice for a
busy man to accept a city office. Now, however, while
most of our business people continue to find a great
deal to do, there is no doubt that there are more men
with at least a little more time to devote to the affairs
of our town.
Our sincere hope is that from the election this
year will grow a constructive interest in the way our
city is run. We know that whichever side wins the cleo
tion-or if some of each are elected-the real desire
of all the candidates is to make Hardin a better place
to live and to concentrate on the postwar projects and
improvements which are the ones the ma joritv of citi-
zens want most.
We believe if the contest which has developed in
this election makes us all think more about Hardin's
welfare, then our town will be a better place to live
And that is what we hope most sincerely the outcome
will be.
