Cupid's working under a de-
cided handicap this Valentine
Day.
At least that's the view Of one
of Washington's more scholarly
mentors on the problems Of
courtship and marriage.
Some of the trouble goes back.
according to Ray H. Everett,
executive secretary Of the Dis
trict Social Hygiene Society, to
the depression days OF the early
19S0s.
It was then that the young
people who normally would be
reaching the marriage license
stage today were born. Only not
enough Of them were.
Those days when the hungry
sold apples on street corners or
passed hats for nickels and
dimes produced low birth rates
which have diminished the popu-
lation of marriageable age today.
Wars Play . Part.
On top Of that came the
speedup of marriages following
World War II rehabilitation
and attending the Korean out
break. That borrowed into the
future marriage market.
And war casualties and In
creasing numbers Of servicenen
marriages in Japan and Ger

from the prospects Of the women
Of this country.

rest of the Nation, but it has .
few Of its own problems, too.
He composed q verse about
Dan Cupid's plight here, which

In addition, Mr.. Everett goes
on to point out that about half
the girls here make as much
money as their boy friends.

Male Ego Wounded.
"The male, as q rule, likes to
be the big shot in the marital
relationship" he explains. "Hav-
ing a wife who is q GS-7 when
he is only a GS-5 doesn't set
we'll"
Besides that, says Mr.. Everett,
a surprising number Of girls here
have advanced pretty far along
the academic scale. This can
have the effect Of making them
more dissatisfied with the marital
possibilities.
To Offset all these sociological
obstacles to Cupid's mAtchmak-
ing, Mr.. Everett has q word Of
advice for both the women and
the men.
For the Girls.
To the girls:
The old saying that the aver
age male likes q good listener
is still true.
"You win sometimes see the
extremely attractive girl who
likes to be the center Of atten-
ton adopt Dracula's daughter
as her companion.
But q surprising number Of
times, the mousy little one who

tors. This is a story in general
circulation concerning a con-
versation between one of Ben
sons assistants and Senator
Young of North Dakota, in
which the assistant is alleged
to have suggested that in the
future the Senator clear his
speeches with Benson. Which
is the sort Of thing you don't
suggest to a Senator.
Then there was another
little thing. The new Secre-
tary called q meeting Of all
department employees for the
stated purpose Of getting ac-
quainted.. He fixed the hour at
$3.50 am. so that the 80
minutes consumed would not
be Government time. This
didn't set very well with some
hundreds Of the employees. Not
regarding it as a social oc-
casion, they felt the Govern
ment'S time might properly
have been used. The morale of
the department wasn't helped
a bit.

may find he has misunder-
stood the spirit of Government
service-and there is such q
spirit, with the accent on serv-
ice. This is Attorney General
Brownell. On taking Office he
made it known he expected
his lawyers to get to work on
time and to remain on the job
until the fixed quitting time.
The principal result appears to
be . strict observance Of the
quitting time. No more stick

AN EDITORIAL

Most significant of the week, insofar as Port Gin
ton and Ottawa County concerned is the announce
ment that the National Rifle Matches definitely will re-
turn to Camp Perry next year.
Those of who have been concerned that perhaps the
matches might be lost to Camp Perry in future planning
of the NRA are especially grafed the pronounce
ment which made official this week by vote OF the
associations executive committee.
While reluctant to single out any individual Tor
mention in any event that depends much upon team
work of cvic-mnded community leaders, in this partlcu
lar case feel that Port Clinton vote OF thanks
to Ralph Forster for his untrng efforts in effectng
wel-coordinated program between the NRA and the
munty.
Mr. Forster has worked with almost fanatical zeal to
make the shooters feel at home here during their brief
stay He assisted nnumerabe times in erasng minor
misunderstanding that certain to arise in an under
taking AS gigantic the matches To degree, Mr. For
ser responsible for the highly successful community
relations that have existed during the current program
at Camp Perry and to great extent the community can
attribute the matches return to his personal efforts
Mr.. Forser's unselfish work this project reflects
civic leadership in the greatest degree.

Junior Chamber of Commerce 10
Gals and other national civic and
fraternal organizations.
The Jaycees, for instance, have
declared community "Light-A-
Car" and "Light-A-Bike" days
during which they promote and
sell reflective bumper tape or
"glow tape" Their purpose has
been two-fold-to reduce night
time traffic accidents and to raise
money for their innumerable
charitable causes.
One inch wide and available in
red, orange and yellow colors, the
tape can be attached to the bump
ers of cars and bicycles. Once
attached, it reflects sunlight or
headlights and serves as warn
ing to approaching motorists.
Statistics gathered by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce re-
veal that use Of this "glow tape"
has resulted in a considerable de.
crease in the number Of nighttime
accidents. Over l400 Jaycee locals
ran campaigns to promote usage
of the tape during 1852. Tests COM
pleted during the past winter
proved the tape to be a terrific
safety factor in nighttime driving.
In one Southern city, the extern
sive use Of reflective tape reduced
the number Of nighttime collisions
by IS FER cent.
Women motorists, let's give a
kudo to the men for their COM
menaable civic enterprise in the
ield Of traffic safety.
