Modern MARRIAGE
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

is all that any marriage could be!
If any of the statements is not
true in your case, set to work and
make it true. If you cannot hon
estly mark at least seven of them
as true, you should read some of
the modern books on marriage, or
get expert help, if necessary, to
improve the situation.
Remember marriage is what you
make it!

(For the Xmas Relief Committed

What blessing Christmas is!
Why if there was no Christmas,

season of the year when we can
lay aside all gnawing worry, in
dulge in sentiment without CEN

children, and just plain "have

There is no greater thrill in
having fun" than knowing that
through S;me act of yours you
have brought cheer and happi-
ness to some one less fortunate.
The thrill is even greater if the
one helped is child, or some old
person who is in need.
You have that thrill this Christ
You can have that thrill this
Christmas. Contributions are now
being accepted by the Xmas Re-

of foodstuffs for families who
otherwise would be forgotten on
Christmas Day.
The response for discarded toys
has been greater this year than
ever before. Still more are need

Lewis Orders
Three-Day Work
Week For Miners

{ NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-tRl-The
coal strike will end partially on
Monday when the miners go
back to work for three days a
week in the hard and soft coal
mines.
John L. Lewis reinstated the
three-day work week this morn
ing after the coal walkout be-
came effective last midnight. The
work week will be Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, as it
was all summer.
Lewis strategy is in the form
of comntomise because it keeps
the coal miners at work before
Christmas. This action reduces
the threat of a revolt among the
coal diggers who have been re-
ported in several states to be
grumbling about meager earnings
this year.
At the same time, Lewis au-
thorized separate contracts with
each coal company, thus abandon
ing the recent policy of striving
for nationwide contracts. Lewis
policy was approved by. the
United Mine Workers Policy
Committee which has been stand
ing by all week in New York.
The committee allowed truce to
expire last midnight without
moving to stop a new walkout.
Shortly before Lewis made his
announcement to partially end
the coal walkout. President Tru-
man announced ne would not
step in for at least 48 hours.
Lewis first mentioned the pos
sibility of invoking three-day
work week a year ago. He said
then that employment in the IN
dustry should be stabilized and
added: IF there is three days
work. wen all work three days"

tier, Miss Margaret, attended the

The Civic Improvement Com

that the city was not protected
adequately.
At the meeting were Chamber
Board members, Mayor, mem
bers of the City Commission, the

The two-hour round-table dis
cussion led to the fact that the

recommendations would probab-
ly be made, including:
"a. A request for revision of

''b. More training for local

&C. More policemen assigned

also learned at the meeting that

from. This list must be furnished
by the Civil Service Board.
1T was stated that after a pa
