COMPETITION
WRECKS
MARRIAGE

Nagging wives are re-
sponsible for most divorces
and the fact that only one
marriage in 81 is a happy
one, according to a promi-
nent divorce lawyer.
Victor Newmark, head
Of the matrimonial law
committee of the Chicago
Bar Association. claims
that while divorces are
granted for desertion,
cruelty, drunkenness, adul-
terry and other statutory
causes, the real reason is
nagging.
Mr.. Newmark, The In
sider's Newsletter says,
contends that the male
cannot stand nagging be-
cause, "a mans struggle for
existence in this conten-
tious society should end
when he enters his home
and he should not be ex-
posed to further COMPETE
ton and dominance by his
mate.
when the male returns
home, he is tired and in
need Of care, love and COM
fort" Mr.. Newmark says.
HE needs some place
where he can lay down his
defenses. When the female
fails to respond, arguments
ensue, bringing total un-
happiness, bitterness, re-
elimination and vindictive-
ness"
The Newsletter, blamed
the competitive attitude of
modern wives for the I'M
happiness. which he esti-
mates exists in 20 of 81
marriages.
Women. he explains,
should recognize "the law
Of nature which has de-
signed woman in the role
Of a 'catalyst.' A wife is
innately a catalyst to her
husband because as she
acts-as her conduct $50
is his response. She may
accelerate him or deflate
him."

Eighty : eight women donate
their time in shifts to man
age this perpetual rummage
sale.
The principle involved is
the donation of disable arti-
cles to be sold at modest
prices to finance worthwhile
endeavors. With items given
by members of the parish and
a growing list of friends, the
shop does not rely entirely
on spontaneous donations.
Annually, in October, a
Birthday Gift Tea" is held.
Usually over a thousand per-
sons are invited.
The variety Of material
there is surprising. Clothing
comprises the largest per-
centage Of goods-but there
is that remaining 20 per cent
that is so intriguing and
diverse.
Mrs. K. Brent Woodruff,
chairman of the shop, says,

Woodruff. "Once q woman,

the most impressive thing is
the great value Of the efforts

We Are Our Own Worst Enemy

be perfectly honest, we did not even
know the concert was being held until
after it was over. like most other
people, we depend upon the daily press
for news of general i~nterest.)-
The Leontyne Price concert made
page one in the newspapers Of London
and Paris and many in the United
States. Only her home state was silent.
Well, it did not matter to a great
artist that no mention Of her concert
appeared in Mississippi's newspapers.
The seating capacity Of the hall was
sold out six weeks before the concert
and a check for $4,000 was presented
the church of her childhood at its con-
clusion. The ovation accorded her
showed she was appreciated and loved
by the members of her own commune
ty, her own home folks.
But Mississippi newspapers did
miss a great opportunity to show we
appreciate the very real achievement
of this young Laurel woman who has
gone out into the world and made the
most of her God-given talent; that we
are proud of and for her; that we
share a feeling of happiness that an
other .Mississippian is listed in the an
mails of the truly great artists Of this
century; that she has brought great
credit to and upon her native Missis-
sippi.
Leontyne Price, top Metropolitan
Opera star, does not need Mississippi
- but Mississippi needs Leontyne
Price. 1t does not matter what we think
of Leontyne Price. But it does matter
what she thinks of us.
The great failure of our Southern
society today is u lack of under
standing on the universal need and
striving for human dignity.
This struggle began about a hun
dred years ago in our Southland -
and it appears that we are just as far
away from understanding it now as our
forebears were then.
What a pity.

Leontyne In Laurel

Mississippi newspapers, alongi with
many of our states leading citizens,
frequently complain of the unfair
treatment they think we receive in
the nations press; they speak of "a
paper curtain being lowered to keep
the people of the nation and the world
from knowing the 'true facts" about
u state and its people. This has been
the case for so long that many have
honestly come to believe Mississippi is
never treated fairly. We have a good
size chip on our shoulders and we just
dare anyone to knock it off.
This is not a healthy attitude and
does not rebound to the good of our
state. Fancied ills can become real, like
crying "wolf" too often.
At the same. time we complain a.
bout others, we frequently act against
our own interest by failing to take adj
vantage of many golden opportunities
that come our way to boost our state
and people.
One. such event happened two
weeks ago in Laurel.
'Leontyne Price, the brilliant Met
ropolitan Opera star, appeared in con-
cert!at the Oak Park High School build
ing. More than 1900 persons from
twelve states attended the concert held
on a Sunday afternoon. Busloads Of
people came from Alabama, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Arkansas and other states.
The concert was a tremendous
success with a beautifully balanced
program of Handel, Mozart, Brahms,
Puccini and other great masters sung
by a wonderful artist who has thrilled
people all the way round the world
with her magnificent voice and artis-
try, representing the United States
government in personal appearances
and also on the Voice of America.
The Laurel concert was remark
able in that not one word about it ap-
peared in a Mississippi newspaper prior
to the event - and only a scant men,
