High Cost Of Brides
In Cameroons Causes
Youths 10 Revolt

ROME, Dec. 81 (CDN The
inflated cost of brides in the
Cameroons. in West Africa. is
undermining marriage among the
natives. according to Roman Cath
olic missionaries there.
Grasping parents are trying to
eXtort eXorbitant prices from
young men eager to marry. Both
the future brides and the would
be grooms find themselves frus-
trated by the rapacity of the
parents.
Revolt Against Elders.
They have revolted against their
elders and are living together
without marriage.
I'm a parish of 4,400 natives, I
have 300 couples living together
in open concubinage," writes one
priest. THE unslaked desires of
the young men and the shameless
behavior of the young girls" are
the fault of the parents, he main
tains.
The "prices" of the daughters
are in reality a form of reverse
doWry, permitting the daughters
to buy their freedom from un-
happy marriages by the parents
returning part of the bridegroom 5
fee.
Missionaries support this sys-
tenn as a step toward the emanci-
patton of women, an open ac-
knowledgment of their value. But
parents have priced their girls out
OF the marriage market.
Barred From Church.
To rebuke the parents for prof
iteering, one priest has barred all
parents from the sacraments of
the church. They will be read
mltted to good standing, he has
ruled. when they cut down the
dowries to a figure that young
men can pay.
High bridal prices mean that
only older men can buy" brides,
thus reducing the birth rate and
encouraging adulterous relations
on the part of the brides in the
December-May unions.

That thought is almost heretica,

Martinez Is Aiminq
For Fight With Davey
After Ha|ting Williams
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Vince
Martinez, darling of Paterson
IN. j. boby scx fans, has taken
another giant step toward boxing
kie-of-the-year honors. Now
he's aiming toward Chuck Davey.
Although young Winnie may not
be rookie in a strict interpreta-
tion of the rule, he was just an
other obscure welter until he hit
the headlines in 1852.
After a six-month layoff because
Of bad hands after an exciting win
over Sammy Giuliani last June,
Martinez picked up where he left
of by scoring a technical knock
out win over Don Villains last
night at Madison Square Garden.
Stopped in Ninth.
The end came at 1:35 of the
ninth round when Referee Ruby
Goldstein decided the Worcester
CMassD veteran of II pro fights
had enough. Martinez never was
able to knock Williams off his feet
but his fast hands handed out
stiff punishment. rocking his man
several times and opening a cut
over his right eye.
Referee Goldstein and Judge Art
Aidala had it 30 after eight
rounds. Judge Amerigo Schiavone
saw it 5-3. The AP card was IL.
We're going to keep him busy
now" said Tex Petite, Martinez's
manager. We're aiming for shot
at Chuck Davey. Right now we
haven't any definite opponent in
mind for the next two or three
fights. but eventually we want to
get Davey."
Martinez Must Wait.
1t will be eventually" because
Davey is supposed to get welter
title shot at Kid Gavilan before
the winter is over. Martinez will
have to wait in line.
Il was pacing myself" said
Martinez. After all, I hadn't
fought in six months. got little
tired a couple of times, but I
paced myself. I didn't want to
run out of gas"
Among the crowd of 1854 that
contributed to the house of $18,-
791, best Garden gate in several
months. was a 300-strong delega-
ton from the Westinghouse plant
where Martinez works as drafts
man.
Martinez must have convinced
the customers. He made such an
impression on the bloody and bat
tered Williams that Williams de-
cided to quit the ring.
