ZION DEPT. STORE
ANNOUNCES EVANS
FUR SALE
Thursday, July 20 Friday,
July 80 : Saturday, July 81.

JULY 81 saturday, july oAs
Although the Summer sea-
son may bring thoughts OF
fans, rather than furs, winter
is inevitably on the way. And
Just as inevitably, every Wo-
man will want a new fur coat.
Thus, August Fur Sales DO
make sense, according to ii.
Teichner, manager of the Zion
Department Store. They make
sense because by shopping ear
ly it is possible to choose from
a large advance selection or
styles and furs-and to save
by doing SO!
Teichner has announced that
the Zion Department Store
will hold special 3-day sale
of famous Evans furs, stimuli
taneously with the big stores
in Chicago. No store in the
whole country will be able to
offer a finer collection of fabu-
lous furs, however, for the
Evans Fur Company has gone
all out in helping the Zion De-
partment Store assemble a
complete stock for this big
event.
There is a simple explana-
tion whv more fine furs will
be placed on sale this August
than ever before. Retailers are
anticipating record sales this
month because the steady rise
of fur prices in the New York
market will cause retail prices
to soar correspondingly in the
fall.
Teichner promises that even
coming in to look at his fine
Fur collection will be a pleas
ant experience. He invites
everyone to see members OF
the stores fashion board mod
ell those beautiful Fur Coats
Friday night between 6 and 8
p. m. He also suggests to the
customers to use the Zion De-
partment Store new friendly
credit service, because it is a
simple and convenient way to
shop. You make a small pay
ment now, and your coat will
be all paid for in easy INSTALL
ments by the time the first
snow falls.

Talk On "Can Modern Marriage Succeed"
Lecture Attended By Over Two Hmdred-Speake introduce
ed By Thomas W. Pangborn Places Blame For Failure Of
Some Modern Marriages On Failure Of Some To Recognize
The Basic Christian Precept Of Marriage.

that the marriage is not working
out too well. IT," said the speaker,
couples entering into the bonds of
matrimony do so with firm know
ledge that is it lasting and life
time contract, then they will make
the necessary sacrifices and adjust
ments to make the contract work
happily for both. But when they
enter into the bonds of matrimony
with the idea that it can be easily
dissolved when they don't see eye
to eye, then the marriage is almost
bound to result in failure"
Doctor Magner also brought out
the importance of children in the
home as one of the greatest keys to
q happy and lasting marriage. He
backed this assertion up by pointing
again to statistics, which showed that
the larger the family in a home, the
less divorces and vice versa. He also
pointed out that the primary reason
for marriage, according to the Bible
is the raising of family, and wher
couples marry and then, for one rea-
son or another, plan either to have
no children, or to curtail the size Of
their family, then they are inviting
catastrophe as far as martial hap.
piness is concerned.
Doctor Magner also pointed ou
that the lack of parental care has {
very definite place in the failure o.
modern marriage, and that too
many parents feel that their chill
dren can take care of themselves, anc
thus throw them open too often t.
the purely sexual side of marriage
instead of training them in the tire
| mendous responsibility of the mar
riage contract Another feature
said the speaker, shat contribute
toward the failure of modern mar
riage, is the bad example of many
moving pictures which show thu
martial status as one of convenience
To combat these various causes o
failure in modern marriage, Docto
Magner stated that the home, TIL
church, the schools, moving pic
lures, literature and society as
whole, should emphasize the sacred
ness of the marriage contract and be
gin a course of education through
these various channels that Woulc
bring home to the young people o
the nation their solemn obligation
when they enter into the bonds o
matrimony.

On Sunday night, with over 200
present, Rev. James A. Magner,
Ph.D. STD, Procurator and As
sistant Secretary Treasurer of the
Catholic University of America and
Editor of the Catholic University
Bulletin, opened the first of the
forum series of lectures being spon-
sored by st. Mary's Catholic Church,
with an address on the subject, "Can
Modern Marriage Succeed?'
The forum was opened by Rev.
FIR. John V. Ballard, who welcomed
the audience, and he then turned
the meeting over to Thomas W.
Pangborn, who in few well chosen
words, introduced the speaker.
Before starting his address, Doc
tor Magner congratulated Hagers-
town on having a forum of this sort
and pointed out the benefits of 8
free interchange of thoughts or
various subjects.
Beginning his address, Doctor
Magner quickly pointed out that he
was not going to tell his audience
anything that they hadn't heard be-
fore on this question of the success
or failure of modern marriage. As
a matter of fact, answering his owr
question, he said that modern mar.
riages can succeed and do succeed
and with this premise, he proceeded
to give his ideas and thoughts or
why some marriages do not succeed
and what can be done to make then
succeed.
Quoting some statistics, he show
ed that between 1910 and 1916 the
divorce rate had increased from 264,
600 in 1910 to 100000 in 1916, bu
we are sure he surprised most O.
/ his audience, as he surprised Thu
reporter, when he stated that il
! 1947 the divorce rate had dropped
one-fourth from the high figure o
/ 1916.
Doctor Magner gave as perhaps
the primary reason for the failure
of modern marriage, the fact tina
too many of those entering into thu
bonds of matrimony fail to recogniz,
the basic Christian precept of mar
riage which is given in the gospel
'Those whom God has joined to
| gether, let no man put asunder."
TOO many marriages." the speak
err stated, "are based on the idei
that they can easily be ended i
