Modern MARRIAGE
Safety in Numbers Is Sound
Advice for Servicen1ens Wives
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

Her husband is in Korea, and
Mrs N. thinks she ought to have
some social life.
81 don't believe it is good for me
to live abnormally, shut off from
all contact with other people" "
she writes. do you think there
is ang eocd reason why shouldn't
go out socially? I wrote my hus-
bard about it, but he merely re-
piled fer me to use my own judg-
ment-he trusted me fully. I
think I'll be a better mother for
our 10-year-old boy if I get out
of the house occasionally. Some
of MY husbands friends already
have Offered to take me out"
Of course you need to have as
nearly normal life as possible,
Mrs. N, but you'd better consider
pretty carefully Just what is nor
mall for a wife and mother!
During the last year I ques-
toned hundreds of service men as
to what kind of social life they
wanted their wives at home to
have. Here's what they told me:
Go with mixed groups-----2 232
Go with her family y----- 1873
Go ONLY with girls lS- 48|
Go with husbands S men friends 2
Go with other men Il
Att
Those figures tell their own
storv, Mrs. N. and you can "use
your own judgment" as your hus-
band advised, in the light of them
b. all means, go out socially.
You and several hundred thous-
and other wives in similar posi-
tions do need as nearly normal a
life as possible, and that means
going out with other people. But
remember that there is still safe
ty in numbers!
The every day custom of men
tak;nk women to and from parties
is a normal and acceptable one
Thele is a fine line, though, be-
tween this simple and friendly
courtesy and date" When it
smacks CT a date" with the pos
sibllity of increasing personal re-
lationship. it's "out." 1t simply
doesn't work. You saw plenty of
instances yourself during the past
war. The American Institute of
Family Relations has spent a great
deal Of time trying to straighten
out hundreds of mix-ups resulting
from such social life.
If your husbands best friends
want to be useful, let them date
your son and take him to the
movies, to basketball game or to
the skating rink. That will mean
a great deal to him and to his
father Conf1ne your own social
life to mixed groups. You may be
able to give more time to church
affairs. to join some new organiza-
tionS. to help the Red Gross and

Many of the new, medium
priced houses now built or re-
Gently finished are without gut
tiers or leaders, as these items OF
construction have been omitted in
the race to keep the price down
AS a result there is a curtain OF
water cascading from the lower
edge of the roof during every
heavy rain.
It will take less than a half
hour to install a drip-bead or
battle along the lower edge of the
roof and thus divert the roof
drainage to either side so that the
curtain of water is directed away
from the doorway.
The best method to follow is
to nail a strip of one-inch by two
inch wood across the edge of the
roof so that it spans width a
foot beyond both sides Of the
doorway. The strip should be
nailed fiat with no more than five
or six thin, wire nails.
Caulking compound or a very
heavy paint should be run along
in back OF the strip to make it
tight with the roof surface. When
this has set, the strip should be
painted to match the roof cover
ing, so that it will not be notice
able.
This slight improvement works
as we'll when heavy snow is melt
ing as it does during a rain-storm,
because as snow melts the water
sinks down through the unmelted
snow until 1t reaches the roof, and

Greater Public Acceptance Seen Here for Contemporary Houses

A widening public acceptance Of
modern residential architecture is
becoming evident every year, Dis
trict architects heard this week.
Both builders and architects
participating in a panel discussion
said they noted that greater num-
bers of families expressed prefer
ence for houses other than those
In traditional styles.
Panel speakers and others at
tending a dinner meeting of the
Washington Chapter, American
Institute of Architects, held at the
Potomac Boat Club. 5000 block OF
K street NV, said they consid-
cred the Veterans Administration
to be more responsive" to the
architectural needs and desires of
veterans than the Federal Housing
Administration is to those of the
general public, in financing opera
tons.
VA Called Enlightened"
"The FILA is way behind large
slice of the housing market which
is open to new ideas in architec-
ture," one speaker said. "VA is
much more enlightened than FILA
on this score, and by its very set
up is more responsive to the archi-
tectural desires of veterans than
FILA is to the general public"
The Federal Housing Admins
tration was subjected to archi-
tect-criticism owing to its asserted
unwillingness to provide mortgage
insurance for housing of modern
design on a basis equable with
that for houses of traditional de-
sign.
IF a design is different from
what they have in the books"
said one speaker, 'FHA appraisers
generally give you a lower valua-
ton than for some outmoded
design with which they are
familiar"
Buyers Viewpoint Stressed.
One explanation for the greater
willingness of VA to approve
houses of more modern design,
said one speaker. is that FILA is
not subject to the buyers view
point but chiefly to the financial
viewpoint.
The buyer can convince VA
to give him what he wants, but
he hasn't the same means OF ap-
proach to FILA" a speaker said.
Participants seemed to agree
that any architect-designed house
built by a speculative builder
would be more attractive and
more easily marketable than the
house designed by the builder ION
the back of an old envelope"
There isn't a builder who can
not be helped by a good architect
to turn out houses that are sal
able at a price," one speaker said.
"You don't need to figure that
house must be expensive to merit
the services of an architect"
Public Wants Style.
"The public wants style In a
house and the architect can help
! the speculative builder turn out
that kind of a house." another
speaker said.
, The discussion was arranged
jointly by the National Associa-
ton of Home Builders and the
architects chapter here in the in
terests of improving the design
of merchandising houses.
Carl G. Lans, NAHB national
director of technical services, was

Architects also contributed
their viewpoint in discussions
from the floor after the panel
speakers had finished.
