Irish Bachelors
Under Pressure
To Get Married
By Dcrry Morun
(United 1'rcsa Staff t'urrm.ioiif!f-ntt
Dublin '!Pi Thousands of Irish
bachelors are heading for early
weddings, if plans of Hie slate
and social organizations work
out.
Concerned over the effects of
Ireland's low marriage rate, be
lieved to be the lowest in the
world on the population fieures.
social workers are drafting plans
to bring Irish bachelors to the
altar whether they like it or .not,
Statistics prepared by social or
ganizations snow that one In four
Irish peopde never marry. Many
of those marry late in life. They
pass the age of fertility before
they can add substantially to the
nations dangerously depleted pop
ulation. Census statistics bear out the
bad effects of the low marriage
and fertility rate on the popula
tion trends. One hundred years
ago, Ireland had a child popula
tion of 1,8315,208. In 1MI, the
number had been reduced to 815,
000. -
More Older People
Correspondingly, the number of
old persons past the age of fer
tility shows an increase from
174.4:0 in 1851 to 308,823 in 1941.
That is what the social workers
and the government plan to alter
by boosting the marriage rate,
and lower the average marrying
age.
The bachelors, on the other
hand, charge that existing social
and economic conditions make it
impossible for them to marry.
In support of their stand they
point to the high rate of taxa
tion on bachelors, and state that
this in fact achieves the very op
posite to the government's inten
tion of forcing the reluctant bach
elor to the altar.
The burden of taxes, they claim,
makes It impossible for them to
put aside the necessary nest egg.

Housing conditions also support
the bachelor's contention. The
housing shortage is acute and
rents are high. As in many other
countries, young couples with ba
bies are blacklisted in apartment
houses.
Consequently, they postpone
their weddings until they can get
houses of their own, and the pop
ulation figures stand still.
But the state intends to cut
the bachelor's feet from under
him In this defence. Among the
latest government projects is a
120,000,000 housing and hospital
ization program aimed at supply
ing the needed 111,000 homes over
a (en-year period.
Many Loans Made
Housing loan societies are also
receiving top level priority in the
national picture. Statistics show
that housing societies advanced
ij.uiHi.uuu to young couples dur
ing 1948, and the figure for 1919
may be even higher.
A drive for rural development
and national repopulation has
been carried to the United Slates
by the founder of the Muintir Na
Tire organization, Father John
Hayes, who has toured American
cities explaining and enlisting
support for his "back to the land"
movement.
Among his patrons are Boston's
Archbishop Richard dishing, who
has promised to donate $5,000 to
the home movement, a.-ul promi
nent Irish-Americans in New
York who have formed a commit
tee to raise funds for I lie organ
ization. ICR SINKS Tl'G
Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 30 W
Flowing Ire in the Columbia ri

sinking of the army engineers'
tug Umatilla at Its moorings near
North McNary, Wash., yesterday.
Just after crossing the river,
the Umatilla sank slowly to the
bottom, leaving about half her
superstructure above water. A
six-car barge attached to the tug
remained afloat.
Until the Umatilla is refloated,

SENATOR .MOUSE FACES
COMPETITION
(Oregon City Enterprise)
Fred E. Robinson, a Mcdford
merchant, has entered the pri
mary field to contest with Sen.
Wayne L. Morse for the republi
can nomination for United States
senator for Oregon.
At this staize Mr. RohlnsnnV
chances are an unknown quan-
uiy out mere may be a consider
able swell in his favor for, it can
not be Ignored there has been
a strong undercurrent hope in
many places someone would
make the venture.
Mr. Robinson's reason for run
ning, after waiting for weeks for
someone to appear in the lists,
is without hedging. He says he
considers Senator Morse a "be
trayer" of the republican party
and that on almost eery issue
ul importance senator Morse vot
ed opposite to Senator Cordon.
Oregon's two senators might as
well have gone fishing, he thinks,
so far as representing the slate
on fundamental decisions in the
ssnnte are concerned. That argu
ment will appeal to manv. In his
statement Mr. Robinson said:.
"I consider my opponent a be
trayer of his party and of the
people of our state, with the trust
we have placed in him; by his
voting record in. the senate for
the past five years bv votini?
against the rest of our delegation
on almost every important issue
mat nas come before, the senate."
Mr. Robinson is 35 years old,
Is a registered republican, al
though at one time he . was a
democrat. He is a member of the
Young Republican organization:
is against "deficit spending," and
tnus lar non-committal on the
CVA. He Is not a veteran, hav
ing lost a leg in a farm accident
when nineteen years old.
Except for the fact ho is suc
cessful in business, and has had
experience in accounting and the
proper handling of money, two
high-grade qualifications, he is
pretty much unknown in the state
at large. But the chances are he
will find his courage rewarded
with some ready support, for
where there is opposition to Mr.
Morse it is pretty bitter.

farmer set up a personal haylift
to provide his flood-marooned
horses with feed.
A new surge of cold air swept
to the Atlantic coast after send
ing week-end temperatures to the
zero mark or far below through
out the midwest.
Two McPherson county towns.
Long Lake and Hillsview, were in
their seventh day of isolation.
Food was short at Hillsview and
fuel at Long Lake.
Snow plows were pushing out
over secondary roads, however,
and Red Cross officials said the
relief flights might not be neces
sary. Some families have been
snowbound three weeks.
Farmer Uses Plane f
Farmer Clarence Howo nf near
rreeporr, tn., used a plane to
drop hay and corn to his three
noises, stranded on a knoll that
became an island when the Peca
tonca river went our-of its banks.
The horses had been missing a
week until he spotted them from
the air yesterday. Howe said the
horses looked "right grateful" at
receiving the air-delivered hay.
At Washington, meanwhile.
Chief hydraulic engineer Carl G.
Paulsen of the U. S. geological
survey warned that many cities
-Including Baltimore, Philadel
phia and Chicago might be hit
by water shortages such as New
York's. And, he said, the Texas
high plains could become deserts.
He blamed the situation on the
nation's failure to make proper
plans for water usage.
As the cold front moved to the
east coast today, it dispelled mild
temperatures which sent the
mercury yesterday to a record
high of 2 degrees. The mercury
was expected to drop to freezing
there by this afternoon.

Rough road conditions call for special attention to
your lubricants. Tires should be checked for correct
inflation for deep, clean tread that bites on a
slick surface. Brakes won't stop you with a sure
and gentle touch if the master cylinder needs more
fluid, or if an air-bubble has worked itself into the
line. These things, and more, should be checked to
keep your Buick at its best.
If that sounds like more than one thought to bear
in mind -just drive into our shop and tell the man,
"lubricare, please."
Our winter Lubricare treatment covers all these points
with specially trained mechanics following factory
specifications as they go over your cor from end to end.
