Every young couple ap-
preaching marriage ought to be
forewarned to expect some dis
cord. We don't want love at
first sight and hate at first

commented, eff I could give
young couples but a single les

Emotional Housekeeping
The discord really isn't dam
gerous-if it's anticipated and
taken in stride. The real danger
is to expect unsullied romance
"a hours a day every day of
the year. Couples sailing into
marriage under such an illu-
sion run the risk of abandon
ing ship at the first big. storm.
But if they expect a certain
number of storms, as any nav
igator does, they are more likely
to batten down the matches and
weather it through. Then, when
the sun comes out, they are
happily together - instead Of
regretfully apart.
The fights" in marriage
serve the good purpose of Ca
tharsis, an emotional house
cleaning. We often speak of
getting something off our
chests" or blowing off a little
steam" and recognize the value
of these outlets. Marriage. like
other relationships, must pro-
vide them.
Even beyond this, marriage
provides an emotional buffer
against the outside world. One

cumulating aggravation in his
work all day long and coming
home to kick the dog.
The situation has its basis in
fact; though, to the relief of
those who love animals, there
is no reason why the poor dog
should be the goat. There need
not be any goat.
Husband and wife marry with
the idea of sharing, and shar-
ing means divying up the Of
flee aggravations as well as the
paycheck. It similarly means
sharing the aggravations of
running the house and caring
for the children as well as
sharing the joys of the home

| inner anguish that he cannot
carry it alone. And so, in the
sharing of marriage, one mate
simple lays off part Of the bur-
den on the other. Together,
they can carry it; alone, either
one might have stumbled and
fallen.
But sharing does not often
take the form of, II had a ter
riby miserable day at the Of

and sympathize while I tell
you all about it?" More likely

so he comes home in a kind
of emotional blindness. know
ing only that he needs to let
out some pretty bitter feelings
at someone.
He may lash out at his wife
for some small oversight In
her shopping list or for failing
to have soap in the bathroom
or having the car washed in
stead of creased.
Needs Understanding
The triumph of understand
ing on the part of this mans
wife would be to look beyond
mere vocal raiment in which his
emotions are clad and try to
see the aggravation and frus-
tration bullying underneath.
In reverse circumstances, the
husband might find himself
able to bring into action the
heroic understanding which
says in an inner voice: II
know my wife seems to be lash
ing out at me, for no reason at
all. That very fact tells me that
she is greatly beset and needs
my help. She has more than she
can carry. I'll let her lay off
some of the burden on me-"
The problem is not to elimi-
nate the storms in marriage,
but rather to understand them
They have their constructive
meaning. The total absence of
conflict-no heat and sparks
might mean that no fusion
was taking place. Instead, that
cold indifference has settled
upon the marriage. Either
partner is so submerged that
no conflict is possible (for he

dissenting voice. or the two

in each other. There even may
be someone else on the out
side who has become for each

BIZ HOWARD WHITMAN

The marriage vows might
well be amended as follows:
%. to love, honor and cher
ish - and put up with occa-
sional fights"
Occasional fights are normal.
At a recent professional meet
ing, a psychiatrist said, IF a
couple have no fights, better
send them in for treatment"
This does not mean that
fights should be the marital
order of the day, or night. A
friend of mine, as best man at
a wedding, misread a congratu-
latory telegram as, May you
have many, many martial years
together" Of course, it said
marital, not martial. And there
is a difference.
Lets admit the worst at the
outset: married people do spat.
Peter Sellers, in a recent movie,
characterized marriages as "a
series of undeclared wars and
fires" A noted psychol-
ogist went further. describing
marriage as "a state of antag-
onistic cooperation" And o
prominent naturalist wrote,
Real genuine marriage can
only be found among birds. I"
That is as far as he went; he
didn't say marriage is for the
birds.
Marriage persists, and even
some of the fightingest mar
riages persist. A happily mar
ried woman said to me: Sure,
/ fight with my husband. You
see, he is the one man in the
world I'd best like to fight
with"
Best People Have Fights
A wise professor of philos-
ophy, Horace Friess of Column
bia University, once remarked:
"It would be a mistake to at
tempt to eliminate all the fric-
ton in marriage; that would
thin the relationship. What we
want to do is enrich it-make
it capable of absorbing the
frictions."
No fights may mean that
hostile feelings are being re-
pressed, and there may be a
deep fostering inside. Occa-
sional spats get the i'll feelings
out. And don't kid yourself
even the best people have them.
Lincoln's contretemps with
Mary Todd are a matter of
history. The story is told of his
returning home to the White
House late one night and being
greeted by Mrs. Lincoln with:

cannot erase our color away, as
we would erase chalk marks from

In return he got nothing. Then,
someone came along and lit the

time went on, the slaves were

The working conference was held
March 2, 3 and 4 at the Columbia

the Defense Fund has called.
Lecturers who addressed the
group were: William r. Ming, Jr.,

In this so-called democratic
America we are faced with one
of its most serious problems: the
spreading of democracy through
out the world and to stop the flow
of communism in America.
A democracy is supposed to be
a government of the people, by
the people, and for the people.
It is supposed to entitle each and
every citizen under the govern
ment equality and justice.
But to me, and hundreds of other
Negroes here on the Eastern Shore
and throughout the land, America
does not practice what it breaches.
How are we going to spread or
influence a democracy Throughout
the world when many at home are
denied their rights. This proved
itself true when the Negroes were
denied service here in Chester
town the last two Saturdays.
Why there is so much hate for
the Negro by the white man is a
question | guess no man can
answer truthfully Why do they

Negro is ready to stand, but there
is someone to sit him down.
Many people think that the pur-
pose of the Freedom Riders is
to create disturbances and pub
licity. Well, l took part in the
demonstrations Saturday past,
and it was not my aim to create
disturbances or make a headline
in the news. My aim was seeking
Justice and freedom.
Some people ask, Aren't you
people satisfied YETI" Well, my
answer is NO. We will not be
satisfied until we are given a
democracy that is true, a free
dom that is free. and justice that
is just.

To The Editor:
Answering one of the letters
that was sent to you and publish

| feel that the Freedom Riders
are doing a wonderful thing and
it has wakened this town to realize
that it is a thing called Freedom.
One question asked in last
weeks letter: DO Negroes ap-
oreciate this Freedom" What
Freedom is it for them to en-
joy? Eating out of bags while
the white eat off Of plates; doing
this and that for the white man?
Suppose this whole thing was
he other way around. Suppose
colored people own most of the
stores and refuse to let the white
come in and sit down and eat.
What would you think? How would
you feel?
How many colored policemen
are there in this town. or fire
men? How many colored people
work as clerks, or mattresses in
the stores in Chestertown? Very
few, but when it comes to fight
ing for this Country, the Negro
is every much needed as the

The Negroes of Arizona have
failed for the eleventh try in
twelve years to get a public
accommodations bill passed by
the legislature. Some of these
have been fairly weak efforts
and, in my opinion, the one
this year was not strong if we
recognize the strong opposition
the bill was to meet. So far
as / know there was no or
ganized effort since the close
Of the last session of the leg
islature and none after the
opening of the one just closed.
We depended entirely on the
efforts of our two Negro re-
presentativeS to carry the
ball" We did this a year ago
Because we were told that this
was the best way to proceed.
We are all amateurs at the
game of politics and we seem
to have to learn by severe
defeats.
Arizona is largely concentra-
ted in Maricopa and Pima
Counties and some of our weak
ness in the past has been due
the fact that leaders in the
two counties have disagreed
over either the wording of the
bill or the method of operat-
8 ing sor some other trifle which
at the time seemed of great
Importance to somebody. Per-
;lnaps now we have learned
that this is no way to make a
strong political attack.
Last year our friends in Tue
son in the Tucson Council for
Civic Unity and some of the
liberal protestant ministers
were determined to circulate
petitions to place the bill on
the ballot as an initiative,
but the experience of the MA
ACP over many years and in
many efforst in many states
dictates the policy that
branches must not do this be-
cause in too many instances
failure of an initiative has
Seemed to operate against la
ter success in the legislature
over a long period Of years.
sometimes as much as twenty
years. So the. Maricopa Branch
is definitely opposed to this
procedure, and last year the
Tucson branch was also. In
my opinion l am convinced
that we should not risk such
a failure. This is not only be-
cause the national office has
d strict policy against an initi-
4ative. but because of my own
judgement in this matter l
! have a strong conviction that
the voters of Arizona would
l go against such an initiative.
We know well that the rural
counties are cotton counties,
mining counties, or cattle coun-
ties and there are many south
.erners in them. This is one
reason that we have recognized
a definite opposition to this
bill in the Arizona Senate. The
Senators from these smaller
counties always dominate the
vote in that body. There is
always grave doubt that the
bill, if passed in the House
would pass the Senate. If we
should make the try and fail,
