Fire DemOliSheS Home
The Doremus family, who a short
time ago purchased the Charles
Chapel property on Kilbrennan
Lake Road had the great misfortune
to lose their home and all its con-
tents on Wednesday of last week.
Mrs. Doremus was burned about her
face and had her glasses broken
when the gasoline lantern she was
lighting exploded in her face The
presence of mind of her eldest
daughter who wrapped a blanket
about her mothers head saved SER
ious injury to her person but be-
fore the blaze in the kitchen could
be extinguished it spread and
quickly enveloped the entire place
Eighty dollars in cash was also lost
in the fire 1t belonged to the old
est boy who had just sold live
hog.
The family was given assistance
by kindly neighbors and friends and
by the local branch of the Red Cross.
Mr.. Doremus who was absent at the
time of the fire, is an employee of

Life Insurance Company show that marTafes reached a-time peak in the United States during the past twelve months, But there is a sobering side to the picture Dvorces also the increase last year, and of the weddings recorded during this period were of the repeat variety.
 Sociologists have cause to be disturbed by the steady rise in dvorceS in recent years Back in 1906, when President Theodore Roosevelt proposed Federal law to control scandals and abuses" resulting from varying State divorce laws there were only eight nine divorces to every hundred marriages This ratio enough to cause him to fear that evil days for the commonwealth lay ahead
 Both World Wars brought wave of nasty riages and the inevitable aftermath of separations and divorce suits. During l945 nearly one Of every three marriages ended in the divorce courts propor tion almost twice that which prevailed just before World War IT. And at the present rate, one out of every two marriages will fail by 1865.
 The varied assortment of State divorce laws of which President Roosevelt complained in 1906 still exists with even more variety. Aside from South Carolina which does not grant divorces, the States authorize divorces grounds ranging from adultery cruelty and crimnality to "habtual temper" and gem era incompability Residence requirements run from weeks Nevada and Idaho to three years in Mas sachusetts and Connecticut
 The plan for a Federal divorce law came to naught largely because of the contention that the States should have the sole right to decide such problems in human relations The Supreme Court has upheld the general interstate validity of dvorces, under the constitutional requirement that each State accord full faith and credit to the acts and judicial proceedings of other States.
 The Federal Government through various agencies, is manifesting an increasing interest in the divorce problem however for it affects the welfare and the domestic tranquility" of the Nation as whole. It is matter of particular concern to the Department of Justice in view of the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has found that the alarming rise in
 juvenile denquencv is directly related to broken homes and the resultant breakdown of parental discipline.

 The pickets sent to prevent the ship from loading cargo for Alaska because the cooperative owners would not join the union
 This should be a warning to those who have plans for similar small business enterprises - freedom of enterprise depends upon getting clearance from the union. It is indicated that the matter may be taken to court The ship owners hope to secure an injunction to prevent the picketing.

 Deputies of the Western States held to their attitude that Austria, if she is to be free and sovereign. could not afford to lost land.

CHURCHMEN E N SEARCH FOR NEW FORMULA

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2l-tR-A conference of $50 Protestant churchmen seeking to blend Christi ianity and modern economics met today in final session in an at tempt to find the formula.
 Charles P Taft of Cincinnati, chairman of this unique national conference on the church and economic life, and president of the Federal Council of Churches, said that without a concrete "ongoing plan, the effect of these earnest dis cussions would be lost.
 Without a representatives com mission set up by this conference and further cooperation from the church denominations the effective results of these discussions would be lost. They wouldn't carry out side this meeting" he said.
 Taft asserted today's final meet ing. at which the suggestions from three section meetings will be drafted into the churches economic program, undoubtedly will establish such a commission.
 The first step in this direction was taken last night when one of the section meetings adopted res olution calling on the conference to eet up such a commission. This resolution asked that the commits sion undertake research and stim- ulate discussions throughout the churches to bring Christian prin- ciples to bear on economic life.
 Nobody expects the program adopted by this conference to be a magical answer to the nation $ economic issues but leaders said that it at least will turn churches permanently into this field.
 Out of the welter of speeches 1n the section meetings yesterday came vivid indication that these confer ring churchmen wanted then churches to mix more in the prob lems Of labor and industry.

 Senator Ed Coffey of Anchorage, oo-author of Senate Bill No. 1, pre- sented the other side of the Devel- opment Board issue which would abolish the project. Coffey's ad- dress was followed by an explana- ton of the Territorial Veterans Loan and Bonus Act over the past year by Norman Haley, Territorial Commissioner of Veterans Affairs He stressed the need of increasing the size of the Revolving Fund in order 10 provide for the 6,0o0 Alas kan veterans eligible for the loan and bonus provisions of the Act.
 Other guests attending the meet ing and answering questions con- corning veterans welfare and prob lems connected with their partic ular fields were Ernest E.

 In India the Constituent Assembly, which met for fourteen days last month reconvened recently to get on with the work of writing constitution. On the lawn outside the meeting hall in New Delhi re- porters and Indian politicians slipped tea
 Inside the half-filled hall, a front bench, sat Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru leader of the Hindu-don- mated All India Congress (Nationalist party) and chief minister of Indias interim government that is to rule-under the British Viceroy-untn a constitution accepted Next to him a seat for Mohammed Ali Jinnah head of the Moslem League The seat was empty It symboliZed Indias basic problem the religious and political conflict between 255000000 Hincus and 92 900 900 Moslems.
 The Mosem League had boycotted the Assembly meetings chiefly for fear that the Hindu majority would block Moslem demands for autonomy. Recently the Assembly passed resolution proposed six weeks ago by Pandit Nehru calling for establishment of India as "an independent sovereign republic Few expected the resolution to have much effect on the constitution making The fundamental question was Indias right to independence Britain recognizes that right; it whether Hindu and Moslem could submerge their differences sufficiently to agree constitution and have the peninsula n peace
