The Family Living and Health
Study now in progress at the Uni
versity of Delaware is the first
large project of its type in the cOun-
try. The findings are expected to
enrich knowledge in the field of
family welfare in general, but will
make a particular contribution to
the knowledge of problems in this
field in Delaware. Since done in
Delaware, it will have greater
validity for the people of Delaware
than for the people of any other
state.
The general plan of the study
is to investigate by the best known
scientific methods, how different
people manage their lives in the
community and why they function in
the way they do. The purpose is to
understand the many phases and
factors which enter into the family
life. The systematic knowledge from
such study will ultimately be made
available to all people of Delaware
either directly or indirectly, for
purposes of individual family
betterment and improved group
living. OF course, the findings will
be in statistical form and no in
formation about individual families
will be released.

DR.. Jastak pointed out that,
statistics from public schools, in
situations, and hospitals are i'm
portant and widely used sources
of information. Yet, they yield basic
knowledge that is only slightly
better than a guess because the
information is not based on what

ing as a Marine Corps sergeant.
Shortly afterward they were
married.

as a surprise to police, because
they had called in Fredericks to
answer some routine questions
about his wife, who had been
reported missing in January.
Instead, Fredericks told them
he was extremely jealous" of
his wife, Ruth Hilda, "a, and
suspected her of carrying on with
other men.

ness machine operator for Pru-
Dental Insurance Co. here,

saying he had ar argument with
his wife on January in the
yard of their Van Nuys tCalif)
home. She came at him with
a pen knife, fell over some toys
and 5hen he picked up the cro-
quet mallet and hit her on the
head.
e. I noticed she was out.
I thought for a while, in a daze.
I then cut of her hands with
a hatchet,' Fredericks' state
ment to police said, adding:
Il had forgotten about her
hands. I think the next
day I found her hands near the
garage. l buried the hands
in the ground"
