Rurai transportation BAD
The out of town students have
had many difficulties in getting to
school due to the weather we have
had recently. 1t is necessary for
many students to walk quite a
distance as some of the secondary
roads are in very bad condition.
The dirt roads off the Woodland
Beach road are nearly all impass-
able. These same conditions exist
on many other secondary roads.
For example, Clifford Craig, who
lives out near Kenton, has had to
walk three miles every day for the
last three weeks. Even in places
where there are no dirt roads, the
lanes are still bad. For details call

Consumer Debt ,0utsfripping
Income

Consumers are in a weaker finan'
cial position this year than in 1947, ac-
cording to a survey of their finances
made by the Federal Reserve Board.
More of them are going into debt to
make ends meet and more of them
have to buy goods on credit.
The survey found that few consum-
ers are now able to save. Some three
million consumers who had savings
bonds in 1947 did not have them early
in 194S; the bonds had been cashed
in to pay for essentials and to buy
goods that families felt they needed
to maintain their living standards.
Some so per cent of consumers re-
ported higher incomes during 1947
than in 1916. The survey stated that
"a considerable number of these" felt
they were worse off financially be-
cause of the higher cost of living"
About 80 per cent of consumers re-
ported little change in their incomes
in 1947 compared with 1916. Some 20
per cent reported lower incomes.
About nine million consumers
bought on credit in 1947-that's nearly |
twice the number who used Install |
ment credit in 1916. One out of three |
cars and two out of five other dur
ables are being paid for on an Install
ment basis.
About one-fourth of all consumers
will spend beyond their incomes in
194S-about the same number as in
1947. But there will be more over
spending this year in the groups max
ing more than $4,000 year. Most of
the overspending last year was con-
centrated in the groups making under

Why Grow Old?

It is true that women who never
have and never will pay the price
for best looks and prolonged youth
through self discipline are often
critical of those who do. They like
to think such effort and care is
vain and silly because they know
they haven't the determination to
do it themselves and are actually
envious.

dear, have you seen Mary since she
reduced? She looks 10 years older.

lose 10 pounds without 4 wrinkle.
and even If she did have few Of

better than she does now.

fact that you are going to marry a

Book Beer

with book beer making It's first
appearance since the beginning
Of the war, we have received
many inquiries as to how it got
rs name, and how 1t differs from
regular beer. The story appears
to be this:
Several hundred years ago a
beer that was much darker and
drier than usual was made at
Einbeck, q town near Hamburg.
Germany. Through general usage
the name Einbeck became con-
fused with "ein bock." which
means o goat. Gradually the
Einbeck beer came to be known
rs book beer, and associated with
a goat on bottle labels, advertis-
ing and so on.
Today's book beer is available
for q brief period in the spring.
It differs from regular beer in
color and taste, as it is brewed of
barley malt, which has been
toasted and caramelized. After
aging all winter long, it emerges
. darker, heavier brew. 1t is also
dried due to the application OF
more hops, which imparts q dry
tang to the beer.

riod when DR. Hans Luther was

country, society looked forward

out to luck, instead of devoting
every ounce of intelligence that they
possess to making 1t success. Most
of them don't even bother to get
with the strangers whom
they have taken on as life partners, :,
yet it would save them a lot of grief
if they knew how to keep of of
Toms or Mary's pet prejudices.
The general idea with many mar
ried couples seems to be that they
should save their good manners and
their best clothes and their funny
stories for company, that they are
too good to waste on q mere hus-
band or wife. Maybe 50, but did
you ever know a husband who took
to philandering If he had q wife
who prettied herself for his coming
home of an evening and whose
theme song was how handsome and
witty he was? And did you ever
know a wife whose husband couldn't
stop her nagging with kiss? And
can't any man feast like gourmand
If he has wit enough to praise his
wife's cooking? Yea. verify.
Probably every man and woman
start out in marriage to be good
husbands and wives, and when they
fall down on the job, 90 times out
of a 100 it is because they didn't
work on 1t with any intelligence.
The husband dropped his love
making at the altar and expected
his wife to know that he continued
to love her because he didn't divorce
her. Or he began fault finding, or
he never took her to places of
amusement, or even tried to be an
interesting companion.
And because the wife felt neglected
and got bored and tired of being a
baby sitter, she began using womsn's
deadliest weapon, her tongue, on her
husband, and they quarreled and
killed love. And another marriage
that should have been a success
turned into a failure.

Dorothy Dix Says

When we are told that one mar
riage out Of every. three ends in
divorce, we are horrified at the
thought of all Of the unhappiness
that lies behind the final break Of a
relationship that was entered into
with such high hopes and fond an
ticipations. We think, with pity, of
the broken dreams and shattered
illusions, Of the cruel fights between
the man and woman who had once
loved each other so tenderly, Of the
wrecked home, Of the bewildered,
half-orphaned little children, and
we feel that life can have no greater
tragedy than divorce.
But 1 think there is tragedy as
great as divorce in the long, drawn
out suffering Of those whose mar
riages are merely an endurance test.
Husbands and wives whose love has
turned to hatred, who take a merci-
less revenge for their disappoint-
ment In their mates by cruel
speeches that stab them to the heart,
whose homes are places of gloom
and strife, and whose children grow
up in an atmosphere so filled with
quarrels and vituperations that it
withers everything that is gay and
tender and generous in their souls.
Yet there are thousands upon tens
Of thousands of such mismated mar
riages in which husbands and wives
live together, year after year, and
what they endure in the Illustrations
of all of their plans for a happy
marriage, and in their loneliness in
being tied to o mate who does not
understand them and with whom
they have nothing in common, and
their despair while they wait for
death to set them free, no words
can adequately describe.
But numerous and pathetic as the
mhappily married are, their mis-
fortune Is mainly upon their own
heads, for the average husband and
wife trust how their marriage turns
