Bridesmaids, Miss Sally Shep herd, sister of the groom, and ANN LANDERS Answers Your Problems Dear Ann Landers: That letter from Fed Fred who screamed be cause he'd been taken for a ride in the diverce court prompted me to write my first note to a news paper. . You sat down and cried with the big goof, too which annoy ed me no end. Generally you're smarter than that, Ann. Ycu said one day you were go ing to hie yourself down to the state legislature and plump for equitabje divorce laws. Well, when you finish in Illinois, Hon ey, I wish ycu'd come to this state. Here, you'll find it's the woman who comes out second best. ' I would like to offer specific suggestions which would improve divorce laws in every state in the union. These suggestions would insure a greater degree of jus tice and offer added protection to men. women and children ev en where in case of a family split. Here goes: 1. All couples should be forced to confer with a marriage coun selor or clergyman before a di vorce is granted. Sometimes peo ple file in a fit of anger then foolishly go through with a di vorce they don't want because they don't know what else tj do. 2. A restraining order should be 'placed on both parties while the counseling is going on so all property remains intact. This would prevent sleight-of-hand tricks transferring cwnership. titles, raiding bank accounts and liquidating assets. Such stunts know no particular gender. Both men and women have done it. 3. All worldly goods accumu lated before the couple married '.hi. nil! nut be cni-,iuVr--l com munity pr,.peity. Assets held be Mrs. Becky Mardock, wore mod ium blue street length, full skirted dresses, white clip hats white shoes and crystal neck laces. Their flowers were white gladioli buds and blue carna tion bouquets. Paul McKillop, cousin of the grcom. from Scotts Mills, was the best man. Ushers were Ernest Westcrlund, liaker. and Robert liminal, Baker. The best man presented the ring. The bride's mother wore for the occasion, a navy blue two ricce crepe suit, a pink clip hat and gloves, and a corsage of pink and white carnations and rose buds. The "mother of the grcom wore a royal blue two piece wool suit, white hat and gloves, and corsage of pink and white carnations and rose buds. A reception" was held in the church following the ceremony Decorations used here were white glads, blue chrysanthemums and white candles. The four tiered cake was trimmed in pink and blue rose buds, white hearts and topped with a bride and groom Mrs. Blanche Sanders of Hood River, aunt of the bride cut and served the cake. Mrs. Alice Nor ton, Baker, aunt of the bride, poured, and Mrs. Betty Wigenton. Pendleton, cousin of the bride. assisted. Mrs. noDcna spencer was in charge of the guest book, and Mrs. Elaine Sergeant and Melon me Fugit were in charge of guts. fore the marriage should belong to the original owner. This would help to put the gold-diggers and fortune hunters out of business. 4. When children are involved, the home should go to the par ent who is going to rear the children. 5. We need child support laws with teeth. The allotments should be brought up- to date -to keep pace with current living costs. It's impossible to feed and clothe a child today on the amount con sidered fair in 1949. If you'll come to our state cao- ital, Ann, I'll go with you. Helen. Dear Helen: I'm printing your letter and inviting rebut tal. . - Dear Ann Landers: My wife was married to a roughneck be fore she met me. He treated her shabbily and she almost had a nervous breakdown after living with nim four years. We've been married seven months and everything is fine- except for one thing. When she gets too many beers she calls me John which is his name. Does this mean she's still in love with him? I'm worried. George. Dear George: Stop worrying. The fact that she calls you by her ex-husband's name doesn't mean she still loves him. It only means she t "links about him occasionally. I'll bet she's so happy to be married to a nice guy like you after her first miserable exper ience her thoughts probably go something like this: I'm cer tainly lucky to have such a wonderful husband, after that rat John," Woman's World MAXINE NURMI, Woman's Editor Island City School Feed7 Big Success ISLAND CITY (Special) Com mittee chairman Lillian Herr mann, and Ethel Hlackman. with the help of the mothers and eacheis cf Island City school. were cimmended for the success of the annual chili feed at the school.
