What is the future role Of
women in our economy? Will
they continue to drop in and
out of the labor force, Great
ing a "U"-shaped work spiral?
Are we utilizing our wom-
empower as effectively as
possible?
At least some Of the an
swers to these and other
fundamental questions about
womanpower soon will come
to light.
For 10 months, the Ma
tional Manpower Council has
been conducting conferences,
studying reports and making
private studies.
In October
Next month the council
hopes to publish a study Of
which will shed some light
on the educational resources
available to women today, the
ways in which trained wom-
empower is being and might
be utilized as a manpower
resource.
The National Manpower
Council was established at
Columbia University in 1851
under a grant from the Ford
Foundation in order to con-
tribute to the more effective
development and utilization
of the country's manpower
resources"
Although the recommended
tons to be made in the coun-
ellis forthcoming study are
top secret, it is the hope Of
this columnist that some Of
the following needs affecting
women as workers and as
human beings will rate some
nftanffnVa.

Unidentified Shells
Among the debris cast up on
the west side of the Point are
shells of creatures not Immediately
identifiable here. Many believe
that they are tropical crustaceans,
numbed by cold, which have wash

Toasted upon them. But the most
astonishing thing is the appearance
of what must be the remains of a
long-drowned forest, rooted out of
the bottom and cast up.

that their faithful Gulf Stream

a large part of old Mays Head
township taken, has a property
value of about $6,262,34S, of
which much over $2,000,000

whose people prefer to send their
children to Manteo, and where
many of them now attend high

Kitty Hawks endeavor for a

RUSSIA'S OFFER REJECTED
President Eisenhower has reject
ed the letter sent him by Premier
Bulganin of Russia, proposing the
signing of a 20-year peace pact be-
tween their two countries. He said
that Russia should prove good in
tentions by deeds and not words,
and invited further discussion to
that end. The President felt that
the signing of such a treaty would
give Americans a false sense of
security, which is what most
Americans believe-past history
has proved Russia country not
to be completely trusted. On Sat-
urday, Sir Roger Makins, the
British ambassador speaking at
Williamsburg, warned against self
deception lest it prove weakness
in the struggle to keep the world
free.

equally.
Support payments by the husband are often shock
ingly low Seventyone per Of the husbands paid
less than Si6 weekly This is not surprising in view Of
the fact that 81 cent of the had incomes Of less
than $50 week. and even these incomes frequently
unsteady. Average support payment per child was a
little more than ST week.
One judge cited by DIR. Goode commented sadly on
case before him: Il don't how the wife live
that little, but don't see how the husband afford
to pay more"
Incidentally Divorces who later remarked had far
larger incomes than during their first marriages about
SIS per week Including child support). One
planaton they tended choose steader workers for
their second husbands.
Low as support payments were. wives were not even
assured Of this much. Three out Of 10 ex-husbands
seldom or never made payments. Though in Michigan,
in nearly every state, Jail sentence may be imposed
for failure to keep up support payments both courts
and wives reluctant to enforce the law this point
AS result more wives had to go to work. Even so,
their average weekly income with the exhusbands con-
rbution counted only Ssh 81 less than their hus

light on a great social problem
Books and articles divorce in America have nearly
all ignored the question Of what happens to mothers
after divorce Until now, very little scientific data
available on the subject But new study, After
Divorce" by Dr. William J. Goode. based on a unique
survey. has provided invaluable information.
The survey. made in Detroit concentrated on AS
mothers in the highly remarriageable age group Of %
to 3d. and supplies answers TO four important questions
I. What was @ typical divOvce sefflemeRf3
2. How did the dirorcees sssf. socially and psyche
logically?
3. How Raa9y remarked
4. How we're tie ehHdreR affected By fke divorce?
Before discussing these post-dvorce issues may be
valuable TO look into the matter of exactly how the
divorce action was brought about. Sxtytwo per cent
of the wives told nteryewers that they the first to
suggest divorce another - per cent said the proposal
mutual and only Is per cent asserted that their
husbands had been first to make the suggestion.
But further questioning by the interviewers brought
an important joker. Though husbands in most cases
refraned from actually making the definite suggestion
they very often pursued strategy of divorce which
forced the wife make the suggestion This strategy
may not have been conscious on the husbands part II
consisted of such behavior drinking, creating nan
cal difficulties and being personally obnoxious.
Rarely did the quarrel move quickly to a legal con-
cuson. The medan span of time from first serious
consideration of divorce until suit filed
year. The longer the marriage had lasted the longer the
divorce action postponed The greater the number
of children the slower the couple to make the break
When it was the husband who definitely wanted the
divorce and who himself made the initial suggestion.
the process was consummaed much more quickly than
when il was the wife who wanted the action. wife
seeking divorce because she had fallen in love with
another forced to pursue her own strategy Of
divorce by means Of nagging contempt, GOODNESS, ETC.
These wife-sought divorces took much longer to bring
about: the median span was 81 months.
Once the divorce actually in the works. what hap
pened? Here are the surveys most important findings:
1. the TYPICAL DIVORCE SETTLEMENT:
When there property, half Of the couples split it in
some fashion. Forty-four per cent Of the divorced
wives got everything. mere seven per cent Of the
husbands did.
Middle and upper classes were more willing to talk
over and divide the property. When there was over
$1,000 property split was nearly twice as likely to
occur If there less, the wife generally received
everything.
