Modern
Marriage
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

Easy come, easy go-that seems
to be Mrs. C's idea of marriage
and ''I don't think your ideas on
the subject are so hot, DR.. Pope
noe." she confides to me.
It's easy enough to marry" she
proclaims-and a million spin.
sters might chorus; "oh, yeah?"
But staying married is something
else again. No two persons-I
mean this, DR.. Popenoe-abso-
lutely no two persons-can live
together year after year without
becoming bored with each other
and fed up with the whole busi-
ness. When you reach that point,
you have to have a change-unless
you go crazy or just sink into the
rut Of an endurance test. That's
the truth, DR.. Popenoe, and any
honest married person will admit
1t. I don't believe you know any,
thing about it!"
The same to you, and many of
them, Mrs. c. There are plenty
Of people who feel as you do. They
keep the divorce courts busy.
There are two or three times
as many others who know better.
There are literally millions of
married couples on this continent
(and on others of course) who are
growing old together, with each
year better than the last. The
depth of their satisfaction, the
inspiration of their companion
ship, increase steadily. One Of
their wishes is that they might
come to the end of life together.
neither one being forced to live
without the other.
Since you made the matter per-
sonal, Mrs. c.. I might mention
that on this very day Mrs. Popenoe
and I are celebrating the thirtieth
anniversary of our first and only
marriage.
And without wanting to be per-
sonal. I might add that many of
the people who find marriage dis
appointing are people who find
everything else in life is disap-
pointing.
We don't need to appeal to in
dividual cases, whether yours,
mine, or those of John Doe and
Richard Roe, to deter min e
whether there is a general tend
ency for marriage to slump after
a few years. I made a study OF
the happiness of 2,138 marriages
in the educated part of the popu-
lation from many different parts
of North America. If you're inter-
ested in seeing the figure in full,
you'll find them in Appendix Ii of
my book Modern Marriage (re--
vised edition. in your public Ii
hrary. Refined statistical treat
ment Of the figures showed that
there was no difference in the
degree of happiness from decade
to decade. Some marriages grew
worse, but others grew better.
No, Mrs. c., marriages. do not
slump after few years. But
some people do.

Wonen's
Clubs
Soldiers, Sailors Club
On War Emergency
Operation Bosis
By Ruth Deon

The war emergency born de-
mand for increased facilities to
meet the needs of servicemen on
leave here has found the Sol
diers. Sailors, Marines and Air
mems Club at 1015 L street NV.
ready for action.
The club. which is owned and
operated by the Woman's Army
and Navy League, has just been
completely redecorated.
Last January, the league de-
cided the club needed a complete
face-lifting as part of its peace
time program to make the club a
comfortable home for servicemen
visitors to Washington.
Service officers wives clubs and
individuals of the Washington
area contributed to the effort by
financing the redecoration of
rooms of their choice. Now, all
but a few rooms of the club con-
tain a dedication plaque for those
who aided in the project.
AS ready as it was for a peace
time program, the club is now
prepared for the present emer-
gency. Just recently, it was con-
sidered as one of the member
groups of a proposed city-wide
committee under the United Com
munity Services which would
work out a program to take care
OF an estimated 10000 service
men on leave here nightly.
Mrs. Homer Case, league presi-
dent, stated this week after
board meeting in which the league
ruled the club would return to its
1941 status, "We are ready to
do anything we can. So that we
can accommodate as many men as
possible, we are limiting our fa-
cilities only to the enlisted men
OF the armed forces who are on
active duty"
The club can accommodate 1856
men a night, but on week ends,
when there is greater demand
for rooms, cots can be set up inI
the annex recreation room or the
new library in the main building.
League members who served atl
the club during the last war as|
volunteers recall that many times

men in one year, and served
84,777 meals. rs
Even after the war. when many
of the agencies for servicemeni
closed their doors, the club som
tinued its work, and many a
GI student was glad to find o.
place where he could still get al
comfortable bed and a good meal
for a nominal charge.

Md. Has AZ Highway
Deaths In October
Seventeen Of Those Killed
Were Pedestrians - 77S In
jured During Month.

The highway death toll for Octo-
Der followed the usual pattern for
this time of the year, according to
statistics just released by the Mary
land State Police.
Forty-seven persons were killed
on Maryland highways in October.
Total police investigated accidents
numbered 2,436-up 20 per cent
over last October; injury accidents
numbered 778-up 10 per cent; and
property damage accidents number
ed 1,612-up 81 per cent.
Of the total killed, II were pc
destrians. Commenting on the con-
tinuing loss of life, limb, and prop
erty, due to highway accidents,
Colonel Carey Jarman, Superinten-
dent, Maryland State Police, said:
In my opinion, this alarming toll
on the highways can be cut sub
stantially, if the people of Maryland
will support intensified measures
aimed at producing greater highway
safety; if they are willing to invest
in safety a great deal more than
they are doing at the present time;
and, if they are willing to sacrifice
some of the liberty they now have in
walking and driving"

Old North St. School
For CoIored YMCA
Bids Have Been Asked For
Necessary Alterations And Adj
ditions. Will Be Operated By
Hagerstown "Y."

The Board of Directors of the Ha-
gerstown YMCA on Tuesday adver-
tised for bids for alterations and adj
ditions to the old North Street
School, which is to be converted into
a colored YMCA, to be operated by
the Hagerstown "Y" in conjunction
with the cooperation of a committee
of the colored residents of the city.
In a resolution by the Board of
County Commissioners, dated Jan
uary II, 1850, they unanimously APP
proved the turning over of the build
ing to the Hagerstown YMCA, rent
free, for use as a colored ''Y" and
they further agreed, in the resolu-
ton, to appropriate the sum of $10,
00.00, to be used for alterations and
additions.
The resolution also stated that the
Board of County Commissioners
would not be liable, in'any way, for
the costs incidental to the operation
and maintenance of the building as
a "Y." The resolution, in the final
paragraph, stated that the Board
went on record as favoring a further
ALLEGATION of 100000 in 1851, to-
wards the cost of a swimming pool
in the building, but it was not a
definite commitment.
The Mayor and Council also voted
100000 towards the cost of repair
ing and modelling the building, but
as far as this reporter has been able
to find out, they have not, up to this
date, approved any further definite
expenditure.
If the usual course is followed, the
colored YMCA, when it begins oper-
alton, will, in due course, apply to
the Community Chest for admission
as an agency member.
The building committee of the
YMCA, who will have charge of the
remodeling of the school building,
consists Of H. K. Stickell, chairman;
P. J. Potter and HI. L. Mills.
Working with this committee will
be the following committee of col
ored citizens: Mrs. Dorothy Goodloe,
chairman; J. Russell Williams, vice
chairman; Mrs. Minnie Compton,
secretary; Theodore Hopewell, as
sistant secretary; Charles Moore,
Rev W. E. Moseley, Rev. R. S. Alb
ernathy, John R. Watson, James
Foxworth, Mrs. Delilah Williams and

Sunday afternoon, Jim - who is
known as Mr.. Santa Claus himself
went right through with the pro-
gram from beginning to end, even
though he was just about as stiff as
a board by the time it was over,
Jim, by the way, is president of
Santa Claus, Inc, so if you have any
toys that your youngsters are
through playing with, why not give
Jim call-his phone number is 1857
so that some one can collect them
and put them in shape for distribu
ton on Christmas Eve to children
who otherwise might have toyless
Christmas.
And vote of thanks goes to the
Hagerstown Retailers Bureau Com
mittee, the chairman of which was
Parke Geiger, for the grand job they
did in working out the Santa Claus
program-a program which brought
joy to thousands of youngsters in
the community.
Here is the latest information on
the petition for a recount in the
county commissioners election
Attorney c. Welles Little, one of
the court examiners for the Circuit
Court, was scheduled to begin TAX
ing testimony yesterday. When all
the evidence is in and written up, it
will be turned over to the judge of
the Circuit Court who, after ex-
aiming it, will decide whether or
not the petition for a recount will be
granted and if it is granted, how far
the recount will go.
1t may therefore, take several days
yet before a decision is handed down
by the court.
In the meantime, if the usual pre-
cedure is followed, the books of the
County probably will be closed early
next week in order that the tax as
SCISSOR can inform the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners what the tax basis
will be. As soon as that is arrived
at, the Commissioners must then get
to work Immediately on 1851 budget
and the 1851 tax rate, as the tax bills
must be printed before the end of
the year, and the tax rate for 1851
must be publicly announced on Jan
uary l.
AS this is written, it is not known
whether the Governor will issue GER
tificates right away to the Commits
sioners who were elected, or whether
he will wait until the result of the
recount (if there is one) is officially
announced.
l understand, however, that even
if the newly elected Commissioners
are not sworn in before work is
started on the budget, the present
Board will invite them to sit in on
all the discussions.
Mac Altemeier, manager of the
Maryland Hotel was so excited
when he shot that big black bear
over in West Virginia some 10 days
ago, that when he called his wife to
tell her about it, he could hardly
talk.
But Mac really had something tc
get excited about, as many of you
that saw the carcass hanging in
front of the hotel can testify.
And that's not all. Mac knows the
right way to cook bear meat. He
gave me nice roast from it and,
following his cooking instructions to
the letter, it was just about as nice
eating as you could ask for and
tender as could be.
