Chats With
Parents
IIOSTAC.ES TO FORTUNE
' By Brooke Peters Church
The father of three, children who
had a few months earlier been
through the divorce mill, remarked
that he thought divorce a. mistake
whenever there wdre children in
question. He drew his conclusion
from the effects which the divorce
and the circumstances leading to it
had had on his own youngsters.
No doubt his decision was extreme,
as any decision made from a strong
personal reaction is bound to be.
But to a certain extent he was Justi
fied in his conclusion. There are
cases where adjustment between the
parents Is impossible, generally be
cause one or the other is not suffi
ciently mature to control his tongue
and temper or make any sacrifice
of immediate happiness to a greater
duty.
Parents have unquestionably given
hostages to fortune, and in so far as
these hostages were given by both,
and are the first responsibility of
both, the contract between the par
ents Is doubly hard to break.
It is am axing to hear grown men
and women whining for "a little per
sonal happiness," a "chance to fulfill
or express themselves," forgetting en
tirely the obligation which they vol
untarily assumed when they had
children and which, for the sake of
the children's welfare, cannot be cast
aside like an old shoe because father
or mother, or both, repent of their
bargain.
There was probably never a mar
riage which did not at some time
approach perilously near disaster. ut
in marriage, as In all careers and
callings, compromise, a choice of the
greatest good for the greatest num
ber, is essential.
Making a success of any marriage
Is an art, and especially where there
are children, the finest and most
worth-while art there Is.

The beautiful burial service con
ducted by Bev. Clarence A. Kopp at
St. Peter's Episcopal church lost
Thursday for Mrs. J. A. Russell was
the last scene in the earthly .career
of a woman whose life deserves more
than a passing notice. Most of her
seventy-four years were passed in this
valley and It was fitting -that she
should bo laid to rest beneath the
shadow of the hills that she loved.
Although this was always her home,
she was frequently away for several
months at a time as she was fond of
travel.
During the early 70s, she was a
student ait St. Pouls school In Walla
Walla, and she also spent a year In
nurses' training at the Good Samari
tan hospital In Portland. Since
girlhood she had been a devoted
member of the Episcopal church, in
which she was a faithful worker1 and
a generous contributor. It Is a fact,
perhaps not generally known so
modest were they regarding It, that
a very substantial donation from Mr.
and Mrs. Russell combined with that
of Mrs. Honan, gave to St. Peter's
parish the fine building known as
Honan hall. Mrs. Russell wns a woman
of strong convictions frankly ex
pressed, yet always a loyal friend and
Just and fair to those who differed
from her. Possessed of a strikingly
original mind, as well as a keen wit,
she was always an outstanding char
acter In any community In which
she lived.
She will be deeply missed in the
church, in her family and In the
hearts of her friends. This tribute
is from one who has known and loved
her well through all the changing
scenes of her life for more than half
a century.

which may have been small enough
at that time to be overlooked by Mrs.

The present tree is located on tho
state highway right of way, and ocv

opinion that it would be only fit

of appropriate size beside the old
tree, recording l-e historial signifi

declare It a park, so as to protect
the tree from possible destruction by
man at some future time.
