Why Grow Old?
Today's Family Circle

for increasing marital success
which the Family Service Asso-
citation of America gives are: Ex-
tension of premarital education
and counseling; laws which call
for a waiting period before mar
riage and also before divorce;
greater use of family service agen-
cies when couples encounter dis
cord; more adequate housing:
greater emphasis by all social
forces and institutions on the
values of home life; research on
healthy family living.
It was also suggested that the
press, movies and other media,
take a more realistic approach to
the factors of healthy marriage
rather than the continual picture
of the idealistic only.
The consensus Of opinion
seemed to be that the most i'm
portant factor in a happy marriage
is the emotional maturity Of those
entering into 1t.
Perhaps you may find some
answers to problems you may have
in these experienced suggestions.

There you 60 again. That's
the third dish you have broken
this week and your brother has
never broken one. Your brother
can wipe dishes without making a
sound and you can't lay hold Of a
dish without smashing it. Get out
of the kitchen"
Grace was a clumsy child. There
was no denying it. She bumped
into things; she let things fall;
she broke vases and dishes.
Brother was deft and sure. Their
mother, out of patience with the
girls clumsiness, compared sister
and brother greatly to the dis
credit of the sister. The children
took turns at doing the dishes and
there was certain to be trouble
when it was Grace's turn.
Scolding and shaming a child or
comparing him to another only
adds to his trouble. Told he Is
clumsy, he feels unsure and that
feeling, reaching his hands, ends
in a smash.
One child differs from another
and each must have the training
he requires. It would be better
to let the boy do the dishes and
allow the girl to do some other
chore that does not require deft
handling until such time as she
gains the use of her hands.
Some children do not develop
skill in the use Of their hands as
early as others. We cannot ex-
pect all to be equally able IN every

The greatest happiness in life
is found in a happy family circle.
Perhaps the greatest preserver OF
youthfulness and attractiveness is
also found in the same place. The
zooming divorce rates over the
past few years present a hazard
to this great source of happiness,
health and inspiration.
Therefore. the reports of the
Family Service Association OF
America become most interesting
and instructive. The report Is far
too comprehensive to quote IN full
or to analyze thoroughly, but to-
day I am going to give you a re-
view of it.
The divorce rate decreased IN
1947 for the first time since 1882.
Yet the divorce rate is still higher
than in 1914, and the 1947 rate is
SIS per cent greater than in 1910,
and 200 per cent larger than prior
to World War I.
Here are some of the things the
family service agencies had to
say:
/. Some reasons for the lowered
rate during 1948 are better hous-
ing conditions, passing the peak
Of divorces among hasty wartime
marriages, couples undertaking
marriage since the war are more
mature and better prepared for
marriage, less opportunity for
feminine work outside of the home
with more women remaining at
home. Also. surveys indicate that
more couples are seeking expert
help before their marriages break
up.
Some of the recommendations

field. Adjust the task to the
child's ability; this will encourage
him and he will gain power in
some congenial task.
But each child has to take his
turn at every chore. 1t isn't fair
to make one child do the same
thing every time"
There is no such thing as justice
of that sort in life. The thought
of Justice" should not enter. The
needs of the child are what is i'm
portant. He needs to succeed, to
feel approved, to be encouraged to
undertake new tasks within his
ability.
Accept the fact that one child
differs from the other. Don't
disparage a child by accenting his
deficiencies and highlighting the
abilities of the others. why
aren't you like your brother?" is
an idle question. They are unlike
each other because they were
created that way.
Have a good word for each child
in his place and life will be easier
for all.

worn a couple of rainbow hued
circular overskirts of net. Then
there's a taffeta redingote in
bright holiday red. brocade
jacket, a matching faille jacket,
and a cloth of gold blouse top
that may be mixed or matched.
Where jerseys are concerned
Miss Owen has done a really fine
job. She varies grey yarn dyed
worsted jersey by making skirts
up in two and three tones Of it. A
particularly striking skirt is one
of yellow, oxford grey and light
grey. Her jumper dress Of jersey
that comes in navy, camel, red
and black may be worn with a
small cardigan blouse top as a
jacket for cocktails and the jack
ct later discarded when dancing
time rolls around.
Another preview we caught at
the house of Owen was the celan-
ese jersey cruise separates. These
will come in wonderful tropical
shades. A typical wardrobe may
consist of day length skirt, an
evening length, and the addition
of two criss cross blouses pur-
chased perhaps in navy and white.
When you buy one right and
one left shoulder blouse Chats,
right, one shoulder is out in each
one) you may either wear them
together to get a white and navy
top, or they may be worn sep
arately.
The Joy in wearing Toni Owen
designs comes from their great
versatility. All her colors are
geared to interchangeability. Her
fabrics are either stiff or those
that drape we'll. She doesn't be-
lieve in using novelty weaves and
fabrics because she feels the Gus
toner then gets cheated by per-
haps enjoying a one-SeaSon use
of an item.
How you wear your separates
depends entirely on you. There's
no limit to how you can change
them with a little fashion origin
ality on your part.

Toni Owen Designs
By EIeni
Fashion Editor

NEW YORK, N. Yin the field
Of separates, those items often
thought of as extras" to round
out a wardrobe, we find that one
great influence in their becoming
accepted in today's fashion picture
has come about through the sound
designing talents of Toni Owen.
Miss Owen has captured the
youth and gayness of young
America as no one else has done
in the field of separates. Her
designs are as young and gay and
as functional as American women
demand they should be. Her good
name in the fashion business
comes about largely through the
fact that she is able to give them
this plus good taste.
Like Claire McCardell in the
dress business, Miss Owen is an
excellent model for her own things.
She's attractive, blond, and origi-
nally started out in the fashion
business in merchandising. For
two years she managed a ladies'
speciality shop in East Orange.
N. j. She then began selling in
wholesale sportswear, where she
started designing.
In the designing Of her sepa-
rates, Miss Owen strives to bring
the very best of good taste and
original design to moderate priced
clothing. This has helped develop
the separates field to large extent
here in America. The secret be-
hind her success has really been
the delightful interchangeability
of her designs.
We dropped by her showroom
the other day and caught a pre-
view of what is to be found and
what will soon be in Washington
stores. Look for her velveteen
group which is quite handsome.
There's a snappy little black vel
veteen jacket worn with a vel
veteen skirt that has a knitted
waistline which will hug your own
individual waistline with ease.
You may wear your top in or out
as it suits you. Sleeveless tops OF
velveteen, modest looking in front
with their high up collarlines, and
cut low backs are other handsome
additions for your skirt.
The most copied skirt in Amer
lea two years ago was the Toni
Owen "sorcery skirt" Two years
later with a patent through on it,
1t still remains a grand idea in
separates. This completely cir
cular skirt has a waist tie that can
be fashioned into several halter
ideas and also may be worn as a
cummerbund. The idea this COM
ing season is incorporated into a
luxurious cloth of gold evening
skirt that is definitely more than a
skirt. It's an exciting evening
dress for the holidays.
In the same holiday vein, Miss
Owen has designed a holiday
group" that begins with basic
slip dress of faille. Over it (and

SUCCESSFUL ON ICE
fields YESTERDAY

[ A successful landing was made
on the Juneau ice Cap" yester-
day afternoon by an especially
equipped VIII eel-ski Norseman
piloted by Maurice King.
This was the first intentional
landing on the ice cap and was
made out of interest in similar
projects work." said Walter A.
Wood, director of Project Snow

Glacier.
In the party of five on the flight
yesterday was Maynard Miller, di-
rector of the Juneau Ice Research
Project, Walter Wood, Bob Nc
Carter, one of the group of four
who recently made the successful
ascent of Mt Vancouver; Richard
Ward, and pilot Maurice King.
1.-The landing conditions were
good but the snow conditions were
bad" said Wood cat this time OF
the year, a landing such as we
made yesterday is efficient and
feasible"
The snow conditions were medi-
OGRE because the landing strip on
the Juneau lice Cap" is at lower
altitude and the warmer maritime
climate more easily affects it, ac-
cording to Wood The landing
strip on the ice cap is at an eleva-
ton Of $500 feet whereas the one
on the Seward Glacier is at an
elevation of $500 feet. THE Seward
Glacier strip is more remote from
the coast" said Wood
Maynard Miller, JIRP director
of the American Geographic So
ciety, had been having some trouble
in joining his group He remained
with the group.

were 1000 pounds of supplies con-
sisting mainly Of food.

A modern quarters of
million dollar cold storage plant is
assured the City of Kodiak, ac-
cording to an announcement made
this morning by Wallis S. George,
President and Manager of the Ju-
near Cold Storage Company, Inc.
The construction of the cold stor-
age plant in Kodiak is the full
fillment of a dream the people of
Kodiak have looked forward to for
many years.
The Kodiak Ice and Cold Stor-
age Company was incorporated
Sept. II, 1947, with Messrs. Ben
Kraft, Ray Martin, Lawrence K.
Wodlinger, Jack Hinckel, all Of
Kodiak, and Wallis s. George Of
this city, as its original incorpora-
tors and directors. George was
elected President and General
Manager and has devoted much
time in financing this project to
make it possible and, while he holds
the same official capacity as Pres
ident and General Manager of the
Juneau Cold Storage Company
these two corporations are entirely
separate and apart and in no way
connected financially.
The plant Will be located on what
was known as the old Kraft or
Army dock and is approximately
400 feet in length at its face and
1875 feet wide. This property has
been acquired from the City of
Kodiak on lease with option to pur-

and the holder assigns this war
rant to a bank and receives from
the bank its face value in cash, and
the bank holds the warrant until
sufficient funds have come into

substitution of one creditor for an

THE bank merely becomes the

would in such capacity hold a
valid and subsisting claim against

does not create a new debt, it is

Since this method of obtaining

by parity of reasoning, in the in

for the Territory to directly bor-

to meet the payment of such war

In such case, the bank lending
the funds for that purpose becomes
