Eagles At Lewes;
Jayvees' Streak
Tops 10 In Row

Entrenched in a three-game
losing streak, Smyrna Highs
varsity cagers face little let-up
this week as they enter the final
three games on the 1860 card.
Lewes' mighty Pirates, paced by
towering Lenny Maull and the
high-scoring John Morris, pro-
vide the opposition tomorrow in
a clash on the downstate court.
Seaford will be encountered
away next Tuesday, before the
Eagles return home for the 1860
finale with Georgetown Friday
evening.
Successive defeats by Caesar
Rodney and Georgetown, both
by narrow margins, dropped the
record of the Smyrna courtmen
TO 40 this week. The Camden
basketeers turned back the Eag-
les, 44-42, in an overtime thrill
er here Friday. Wayne Coles IA
points topped the team in de-
feat. Georgetown fought off a
determined second-half rally by
the forces of coach Richardson
Tritt on Tuesday to subdue the
Red and White by 67-63 score.
Joe Walkers 80 points cap
tured him game honors and
established a new high for a
Smyrna player this season. Bob
Eckhart tailed Is.
Coach Ebe Joseph's jayvee
charges continue to set a torrid
pace, extending their winning
streak to ten consecutive games
with wins over the Caesar Rod
ney and Georgetown juniors.
Eddie Sterling spanked the CIR
triumph with 27 points. The
Little Eagles now stand liz ov-
eralI on the campaign. They
have remaining contests with

ing the history of the Red Cross
through World Wars l and II,
she said that the emphasis is
away from the medical to the
social and morale. Miss Clark
described her duties as hospit-
al recreation worker; defined
case work, communications, and
said that the Red Cross cares for
basic emergency needs, short
term and immediate. The work
ers are on 24-hour a day duty,
she stated. In the hospital recre-
alton program the aim is to build
new interests, to teach the pa
tient to amuse himself, she said,
as she stressed the need for vol
unteers in this phase of the
work. She emphasized that the
Red Cross worker must have
worldwide mobility" Mrs. My
ers told the workers that the
success of the Red Cross drive
depends on the local level. Miss

solving them was SO formid-
able.
But without the maturity

Children in the marriage

says Lee Blaskey. assistant

IF they arrive late in the
marriage after the mother
has worked a number of years,
the child may not be able
to compete with the selfish

could see to get the extra

was to scrimp on groceries,
allowances and recreation
funds.

instead to nag and complain.

WHY DO WE DIVORCE?
Working Wife Can Mean Trouble

is the reality of what Susan
and Al suspected - promis-
Guilty.
IF a marriage is totter-
ing" they say. The proxi-
nifty of other attractive men
or women - who could
give better companionship
than the partner is getting
in his marriage is an ever
present danger"
If working couples work at
their marriage. say the ex-
perts, it can be happy. But
a lack of finances can
destroy romance Just as
quickly.
When installment buying
comes in the door, love leaps
out the window, experts
might revise the old proverb.
Easy Credit" is the plague
Of our days, they say. Cou-
pied with immature handling
it has ruined marriage after
marriage.
Typical Case
Consider Joyce and Arch,
who found themselves in fl
nancial trouble after they
had been in their new home
only a year.
They had married three
years before - while Arch
was still in college and be-
fore his six months of army
service.
When he got out of the
army. Joyce had a job -
bringing home $78 a week as
secretary - and Arch went
to work for a large corpora
ton as an engineer, netting
sos a week.
Together, they figured,
they were netting S784 a
month, so they surely could
buy a little two-bedroom sub
urban home.
They did. For only $50 a
month. Then installment
buying began to weave its
web.
They needed a stove,
washer, refrigerator, and be-
cause they had no basement,
a dryer. A friendly dealer
was found, who supplied the
appliances for only 500
down - and 18 payments of
500 each.
The old car they had while
Arch was in service was
falling apart so they traded
1t in on a new model with
monthly SGT payments. They
spent S640 on a new bedroom
suite, $40 on carpet.
When they moved into the
house they decided to have
the lawn Sodded rather than
seed it themselves with the
possibility of failure. That
cost 5000, which they were
paying off at $50 a month.
They had another $50-a-
month payment too-on the
down payment for the house
they had borrowed from
Joyce's parents.
Then there were the stand
ing expenses-groceries and
household supplies, Sis;
pocket money" $3.50; recrea-
ton. $50; utilities, $50;
church donation. $40; news
papers and magazines. $40;
gift fund, SIS, and insurance
payments. $50.
So with $784 coming in
each month, the couple was
spending $793. Already they
were SO short each month
with no allotment for doctor
or dental bills or clothing
not to mention unexpected
expenses.
And the unexpected ar

DETROIT. Feb. Al, a
young man in a hurry, always
prided himself on being
modern. AS a bright adver-
tising executive at the age of
"a. he had no time for out
of-date theories.
So when he met, fell m love
with. and asked Susan, a
model, to marry him the "a
woman'S place is in the
home" question never came
up. She wanted to continue
working. Therefore she could.
After a honeymoon trip
to Bermuda, the couple re-
turned to their two-bedroom
apartment and the next Mon
day morning both started
back to work. Thus began a
routine that meant the week
wasn't rare that they saw
each other only one night
Monday through Friday.
Gaiety Wears Thin
At first the infrequent
crossings of paths was anus
ing to the twosome, but the
galety' wore thin.
On week ends when AL
wanted to sit with his feet
up and relax, Susan kept ask
ing for help with the house
work-or insisted they drop
IN for family dinner at her
home.
II Al suggested he sneak
OIL for a game of golf, Susan
pouted about having him
away during the few hours
they could spend together.
Soon Al began to listen
when a friend remarked,
saw Susan having dinner in
the same restaurant that my
wife and I were in last night.
Fun ny thing, my wife
thought the tall, dark fellow
with Susan was YOU. Said
she'd seen the two of them
having lunch several times
around town"
Similar stories got back to
Susan. A lovely girl was in
the party when AL enter
tanned clients, she was told.
But he was working at the
Office that night" Susan
thought.
So - exactly l8 months
after their wedding-Susan
sat weeping in a marriage
counselor's office.
II thought it was my
job that was at afault, I'd
quit in a minute" she said.
But l just don't think AL
loves me any more. He seems
to be away from home more
and more and even when
he's there, he reads and never
talks to me-"
When Al was persuaded
to talk with the marriage
counselor he said: Sure
Susan would give up her Job.
Like fun. It's more than a
job to her. She eats up all
the attention she gets. 1
couldn't give her enough to
please her"
Two persons drawing far
ther and farther apart, near
ing a divorce neither wanted.
Could they be helped? Yes.
And they were.
