Bernice Waddell arrived last night from the University of North Carolina to spend a week at the home of her parents Mr and Mrs Bryant Heard West Main Street There is nothing new the matter with marriage It is the same old gamble it has always been with the same chances of winning out It has the same araw the sur helL na and Grandma were just as hard I Time was isfied with jgood rook Ge nB rougher And Mustache Heads Home that a man was sat his wife if she was a and housekeeper and So marriage is lust the same manager and only a reasonable but our point of view about it has nagger but nowadays if a wife changed We have taken it out of i I her husband she has to supL the unalterable facts class and erimpose being a glamour girl nn it inIn ihP interesting 1 her domestic virtues and a woman experiments which you can drop when you get tired of fooling with them and that is the main rea son why marriage is not the perma nent affair that it used to be When two people knew they were tied together for life they na turally made more effort to get along together in peace than they do when they know that they can swap an old wife and husband for new ones just as easily as they can trade in their used cars Another reason why divorce is so common now is because it is no longer a disgrace as it used to be In the days when a woman i left her reputation behind her when she left the brute who beat and starved her wives suffered in silence when they were ill treat ed whereas now they get a de cree absolute and alimony with or without cause Still another factor in increas ing has been the advent of women going into the business world In Grandpa's time the av erage man worked with men and played with men and was almost as segregated from women as if Rabaul New Britain Jan new sent out word he was happy and messaged greetings to Admiral Halsey Commodore Roger Simpson commanding the special Navy pris oner evacuation task force receiv ed reports that "there never has been a

of 500 believed to be most Americans constituted the first to be liberated in Japan wheie there are an estimated 36000 Al lied prisoners of war including more than 8000 Americans Admiral Halsey's chief of staff Rear Adm Robert Carney em phasized his desire to keep the res cue work in full swing by ordering more ships assigned to the task force if necessary off 2000 (prisoners of war) by tonight" Carney said Simpson was assigned to bis work for his past performances in getting things done He was credit ed with knocking ouL Japanese shipping at Rabaul New Britain when he took a
