Law IN THE NEWS =
Hard Rules Locking
In Custody Contests

! for judges to follow. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that
their primary concern in d.
vorce cases Is the children.
In awarding custody. they
are guided by what appears
best for the child, within the
limits set down by State law.
A few States require that
children be awarded to the
innocent party. Others per-
NIT the children to make the
choice as to which parent
they want to live with. Most
States leave 1t up to the
judge. As might be expected,
judges usually award custody
to the mother for the obvious
reason that maternal care is
so basic to a child's welfare.
Even in cases where the
wife is responsible as the
guilty party in the breaking
UP of the marriage. judges
often give her the children
Except in those few States
where 1t is forbidden by stat
ute). In the case Of teen-age
children, however, there is a
stronger tendency to give the
father their custody II it
appears that he is better
equipped to provide the moral
guidance and character ex-
amples so necessary to ado
lescents.
But as judges have been
heard to remark wryly, on
many occasions, custody ar
rangements. no matter how
carefully worked out, are q
poor substitute for a home.

My wife is the shy, retir-
ing type and has never done
any entertaining outside of
her family and one or two
old school chums. She turns
down invitations because she
says she doesn't like the
crowd. 1 know I have lost
valuable business through
not being at the right place
at the right time.
Gloria Ell don't believe
in secializing just for the
sake of business. I'd rather
live on less than be forced
to go around with people I
don't like. I don't think I
would be much help to Ed
even If I did 60 to some Of
those functions.
Ed ought to be grateful to
be married to a woman who
B Is not demanding. I love my
/ home and family and I'm
never so happy as when we
are all together and I don't
have to put on a front for
: other people.
II Ed can't make out in
business for himself, he
should get a regular job in
some firm.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Gloria has restricted her
life severely because Of her
lack Of ability to feel any
sincere warmth for other
people. She has placed the
same restriction upon her
husbands life and we suspect
he rather resents it--and not
for economic reasons alone.
Doctors who work with
certain emotionally disturbed
individuals find that their
lack of feeling for others is
closely tied UP with lack of
esteem for themselves, Such
individuals may be noisy and
Dragging or extremely with
drawn. Both kinds think
they aren't worth very much
and are desperately afraid
that others will find them
out.
Gloria's statement that she
is unhappy at having to put
on a front for other people"
is a giveaway., Why is she so
concerned about herself that
she has no simple curiosity
about her fellow humans?
Why not take things as they
come?
The world will welcome her
and like her If she goes out
to it in a simple, friendly
spirit.
