Save Your Marriage

Did you know thee are six ma
jor causes OF marriage failure?
Two years ago we read an article
in Your LAfe Magazine which was
written by Roy A. BuTkhart. Pm.
D., and he said one Of the first
causes was hostility.
Most Of US know husbands and
wives who seem TO enjoy doing
things they know would hurt their
mate.
Some time ago we read an ar
ticle In a newspaper about q man
who wrote false love letters, sign
cd women's names 10 them and
left them where his wife would
find them.
We know u man who Is kind
and gentle with his wife when
they are alone. but Just let COM
pany come In. He seems TO delight
In heaplng sarcastic remarks on
her.

Wonderfully they don't get along
like the Joneses.
Unfaithfulness Is the second big
factor in unhappy marriages
Sometimes II II the husband,
sometimes the wife. Infidelity
sometimes Ii traced to neglect.
Some husbands think they are
beau brummel" and flirt with any
one who will give them a second
look.
There are women who are nice
looking and can't stand being told
they are.
Personality lack IL the third
cause. Marriage is a kinship Of
mind and It IL important when
choosing a mate to choose one
who likes and lives about "a you.
Years ago we read articles that
said opposites should marry. but
to-day. people are advised to
marry In their own class, in every
way,
Difficulty over money. fam
lily Interference and Illustrations
Of one Kind or another are other
causes Of unhappy marriages
Marriage counsellors say most
marital problems can be solved "
both husband and wife want their
marriages saved. Too often one
or the other becomes Indifferent
after quarrphng and hatred
creeps In and instead OF seeking
advice. they "drift with the cur
rent" until u In too late.
Husbands and wives should put
each other first and that win
avoid quite q bit Of family inter
ference. When troubles come, and
they win. u you are normal don't
run and tell your mother your az
fairs. without thinking twice,
naturally the mother feels sorry
for her poor abused child"
No matter what she says, given
time. you win tell your mate
everything abe said about him or
her. Then YOU wonder why your
mother gets the cold shoulder"
from then on, You have forgotten
the incident. because Il was your
mother you ran to- Your mate
only remembers your mother tn
tsrfsrred. Re fair to your mate,
and your mother and keep your
family affairs to yourself Don't
involve your family and cause
them heartaches.
They want 60 b made welcome
in your home by both Of you
otherwise the situation s too
strained for both your mate and
your mother
n you Just have to have advice.
SEEK . counsellor. Don't involve
your family or friends

COMPANY PRESS 'BLACKS-OUT' IMPORTANT
FACTS ON SUBSIDIARIES wage AGREEMENT

The Anaconda Mining Company's
daily newspapers in Butte this
4 week once again substantiated a
contention long held by many Mon
tanans that you simply can't get all
the facts on important statistics
reading one of the company
sheets
Latest example has to do with
the way the company editors de-
leted from the Associated Press
story all reference to the amount
of wage increase negotiated be-
tween the ACM subsidiary, Ameri-
can Brass Company and striking
members of Mine-Mill. The Ameri-
can Brass settlement, although one
would never know it to read either
the Montana Standard or Butte
Daily Post, called for a wage in
crease, improved pensions and other
fringe benefits package of about
III cents per hour. This in contrast
to ACM's Golfer" of three cents
per hour increase to it's striking
miners and smeltermen in Butte,
Anaconda and Great Falls.

impossible for the company to grant
any Improvements in either wages,
vacation clauses or fringe benefits,
Thurston reported. Spokesman for
the scale committee of five ACM- daily
towns-Butte, Missoula, Helena, Ana
conda and Livingston-countered that
the same economic conditions which
the company was pleading applied
in ever greater degree to Kalispell,
Lewistown, Havre and Miles City.
Yet, in those four cities, wage in
creases of five to 1215 cents had
been gained in negotiations with the
publishers of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
daily newspapers. Of the four, Lewis
town was high with 121 cents. The
average for the four cities was bet
ter than nine cents an hour.
AVERAGE INCREASE 7.3 CENTS
IN WESTERN STATES
Printer spokesman also pointed out
to the company that throughout the
western states the average wage in
crease in scores of contracts negO-
tiated in 1854 amounted to 7.3 cents.
And, in Helena, some examples of
improved wage scales showed: Car
penters up 1919 cents; ,Laborers up
~ cents; Sheetmetal Workers up Is
cents; Laundry Workers up II cents
and Machinists up five cents.

Earl, ~ elmer Clark,
Running for Legislature
In MusseIsheII County

News reports on candidates for
the State Legislature have errone-
ously reported that Elmer Clark is
seeking the House post from Mus
selshell county on the Democratic
ticket, when in fact, the candi-
dates name is EARL Clark, Mus
selshell county representative in
the 1947, 1949 and 1851 sessions.
The confusion apparently arose
because, in the 1947 session an
Elmer Clark of Silver Bow county
was also in the House.
EARL Clark, in his three pre-
vious sessions, rolled up an impress
sive record in support of Montana
labor, farmer and the public in
general. He sponsored and saw
through to enactment in the 1949
session the Coal Mine Safety Codes
Act which has since been acclaimed
as far superior to federal statutes
covering the safety of miners in
coal operations.
