The need for long-range planning and zoning in Butte has been made clear in one respect in recent months, by the difficulties over highway route locations. Mortgage financing for residential building is difficult or impossible to obtain in certain sections of the city due to lack of zoning; SUDDRETHS ON VISIT DEER LODflRTi CmA make salaries of $5,000 and over fore either divorced party may re-marry. Others make the first decree interlocutory, delaying a final decree for six months, and providing that if the parties associate matrimonially during that period the whole thing is off and they are every whit as married as they ever were. In Montana, the ink need not be dry on the decree before either party may legally shove off on another matrimonial voyage.

The court retains interest in a divorced couple only where the decree includes provisions for payment by the father of support money or alimony to the mother andor children in cases where she has been granted custody of them. Since the court has ordered such payments to be made, the court will be advised of violations of the order and take appropriate action. As for the speed with which the decree may be obtained once the residence requirements have been established, Montana places no-restrictions on that other than the customary legal rights granted defendants in any civil action. If, as in the great majority of cases, the defendant does not wish to contest the suit, he may a waiver of his right to do so, and the waiver may be filed along with the complaint. In that event, one court appearance is required of the plaintiff, whereupon the judge will sign the decree.

RENT OR BELL? BUTTE The Community Planning Council has- announced a public meeting to be held Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the Webster-Garfield School auditorium. Jonathan R. Cunningham, planning consultant of Olympia, will present his final report on the studies which he has conducted over-the past several months for Butte and Silver Bow County, and his recommendations for guidance of the official planning board which is expected to be established in the near future. The City Council in June adopted the recommendation of the Planning Council that such a board be established, and has given the Board of County Commissioners official notification of its intent to do so. Provision for financing the board has been included in the city's preliminary budget.

It is understood that the county commissioners intend to join with the city in setting up a joint city-county planning board; otherwise the city would be empowered under the 1957 law to set up a city planning board with authority to plan and zone beyond the city limits. Both Billings and Great Falls have now set up joint city-county Phone 116-J Thelma Kantner Correspondent Benett, Phone 303-W William Flynn Featured In Magazine DEER LODGE The July 22 issue of Newsweek magazine carried an article and picture of a former Deer Lodge boy, William Flynn, son of Mrs. J.

They will return to Deer Lodge after their trip and the visitors will remain here until Aug 28 when they will leave for home. stln ust packed Mode A MAGNIFICENT SHOWING OF NEW SLIM "BOOKCASE DEPTH" CONSOLES AND TABLE MODELS at Shiner's Big Store Monday and All Week The 175th suit for divorce in 1957 in Silver Bow County will be filed sometime during the next 10 days or two weeks if such filings con tinue in District Court at the rate prevailing since Jan.

3, first busi ness day of the year. The total could easily reach 300 by Dec. 31 if the present rate continues and will certainly top that if the rate increases in the last five months of the year. If during the remainder of this year applications for marriage licenses continue at the rate pre vailing through July and in other recent years, the ratio of divorce suits to marriage license applica tions will be about three to five, and if that ratio is reached it will be the highest such ratio recorded for any year since Silver Bow County was established in 1881. When three couples are being divorced for every five married in any community in any period of time, the natural question is: "Why?" One of the first things to be considered in trying to find an answer is the law under which divorces are granted.

Are Montana's divorce laws easy, readily suited to the pur poses of disagreeing couples? More so than the laws of other states? The answer to that has to be "No." Montana divorce laws nit a medium which in any other con nection might be called a happy one. Allowable grounds for divorce in the 48 states range from 14 in New Hampshire to one in New York or South Carolina. Divorce plaintiffs in Montana can get into court with any one of seven grounds for action: Adultery, wilful neglect, conviction of the other spouse of a felony, incurable Insanity of the other spouse with confinement In a slate institution for at least five years, habitual drunkenness of the other spouse for at' least one year, extreme cruelty "for a period of one year and with or without accompanying infliction of grievous mental suffering or bodily injury, and desertion for at least one year. The first five and the last are seldom used here. The sixth, extreme cruelty by infliction of grievous mental suffering, is used in at least 95 percent of the divorce actions filed in Butte.

Since incompatibility is not recognized by Montana law as such, the ex treme cruelty provision is favored by local divorce action parties, be cause, like the word incompati bility, the phrase extreme cruelty may be stretched to cover a multitude of reasons. As for residence requirements, Montana, like most of the other tates, requires that the plaintiff be a resident of the state for at least one year before filing suit. This is far from the one extreme provided by Nevada, six weeks, and the other extreme in New Jersey, two years. Once a divorce decree is granted, Montana, unlike many other states, immediatey loses interest in the parties, placing no restrictions on re-marriage. Several states require single blessedness for periods of up to two years be- BUILD FASTER PAY LESS Assign the job to your BUTLER builder end building system.

In general, Montana law expresses the attitude of the state to the effect that divorce should not be too easv but that if twn matrimonial dissidents want their bonds leeallv sundered there is no reason for the court's imposing delays in the matter. The divorce laws of Montana are generally the same now as tney were wnen the state went into business, and therefor the laws cannot be reasonably blamed ior me rising divorce rate. As to why that rate continues rise, the question remains: "Why?" Mexican Industrialist To Marry Actress ROME (if) Mexican industrialist Bruno Pagliai said Saturday he and actress Merle Oberon will wed soon, but the date has not yet been set.

"We may decide today just when we will marry," Pagliai said, but he declined to say- whether the marriage would take place in Italy or in France. The Tasmanian-born actress, now 46. told friends thev wrmlrl ho leaving Sunday night for Nice, France, but has declined to discuss wedding plans. Rome has been gossiping for davs about a reoort- ed secret wedding being planned tor this weekend. Neither the Mexican Embassv nor the office of the Rome City council, where all marriages have to be registered, knew anything of arrangements for a wedding.
