Number of American Soldiers Taking British Wives Continues to Increase By ROBERT MUSEL Uniled Press Correspondent London U.R) A man can make himself pretty unpopular by going around American bases and asking why so many Ameri can servicemen insist on marry ing British girls. It's a subject few GIs want to be quoted on because some day they will have As We Live Finds Joining Clubi Cure Loneliness After having had someone to rtly on for compan-onship for many years, a person is bound to' be seriously i affected when he or she is suddenly left alone.

I have joined the Golden Age club in our community and we have or 200 members, both men and women. I must say, I have not met a finer crowd of people in a long time.

Beginning August 2nd to go back and live surrounded by.'.American women. But the fact cannot be ignored that the number of American men taking British wives keeps going up steadily. It was 200 a month about a year ago, now it is 250 a month. This means 3,6j)0 eligible Americans are be ing taken out of circulation in By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. clubs of this sort. JTell those people who write to you about being lonely to join a club and they won't be lordly any more." This is just what I have been saying for years. Only com panionship of the right kind can cure loneliness. It is like any physical pain. You must get at the cau of the trouble and cure it, or it will remain and grow. The lonely person craves not just any companionship but c6m pahiuonship with a congenial person. That is why widows an widowers often remain lone ly, even after they go toUive with a married son and daugh ter. The age difference plus the fear that they may be im posing keeps them frok finding real companionship even whai they are surrounded by a fam ily. While not every community is fortunate enougn to have a "Golden Age club" with such a large membership, there are few communities that do not have some club where older people meet. This is the real answer to the lonely person's probletn. While the clubs may not meet often, the important thing is that they give people of similar age and interests a chance to meet and get to know each other. From the group, it should be possible for anyone to select several who would make congenial friends. Often it is through such clubs that lonely widows and widowers find new mates, and this solves permanently the problem of their loneliness. ' (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.)

Hotel Manager Disappointed by Guest New Orleans (U.R) Seymour Weiss, manager of the Roose velt hotel, rolled out the red carpet Sunday when he heard President Eisenhower's son was about to" check in but got a dis appointment when the guest showed up. "It happens so often I've lost count," Maj. Adam John Eisen houer said. "Sometimes when i see how happy they are to meet me and when there's no special treatment involved, I don't say anything. They feel so hurt when I disillusion them."

More American servicemen how mar ry fofeign womenothart the serv icemen of any other nation. Is there something wrong with American gifts.? One London newspaper said its own survey of this situation pigxluced complaints that Ameri can girls are "domineering" and that the average GI is so buoyed up to find himself wearing the pants that he rushes the foreign girl off to the preacher. Foreign Girls Warm A magazine which' went into the same subject even more thoroughly claimed that Ameri can boys find a warmth and un derstanding here that- they do not readily receive from girl friends or wives back home. Both these views are all right as far as they go, but they over look one important point0 the most desirable husband in the world to foreign girls, is the American male. He didn't get that way on his own, mind you. The "domineering" American woman has been shaping him to the semblance1 of her ideal for decades and solwell has she done her job that He has become ir resistible overseas. It isn't tK&t he makes more money than the local boys, al though that helps. But he as been taught to' be deferential tew his women-folk, to send a girl flowers, to wop her "vith sweet talk and dancing and romance, to make her feel s;ha is the only girl in the world when she walks into a room with him. GI Competition Pcpr Compare him with the British competition. The Briton is apt to be wearing tweed jacket andpampering of women." Daggy, unmatcning trousers and puffing a pipe. His idea of a good time is to play darts with the boys while his girl sips a pint of beer at a table in a dingy pub. The girl is more apt to get a stout pat on the back than a bou quet. He shies away from any display of emotion in public. Those couples kissing or arm-inarm in Piccadilly are almost certain to be Anglo-American. Every American boy who mar ries overseas theoretically makes a spinster of some girl in the United States and there have been tens of thousands of mar riages during and since the war. But no one to whom I spoke alter so long as American men had any hope the situation would live among European women. It looks like the girls back home have simply done too good a job of raising the fellows. LAY-AWAY DOLL SALE Magazine Writer Tells Why Husbands Get Ulcers Early New York (Special) The early death of so many Ameri can men from ulcers and high blood pressure is caused by wives who set out to remake them the moment after the mar riage ceremony, says John Fischer, editor-in-chief of Harp er's Magazine. The true American bride re gards her husband as "175 pounds of raw material," Fisch er says, adding: "She knows it is her duty to make something out of the sorry clod, if she has to wear her tongue down to the roots." Never Before Fischer, writing in the August issue, continues: "This undaunt ed approach may, perhaps, have something to do with the divorce rate, axe murders, and the num ber of morose characters nurs ing a shot glass late at night in men's bars. Nevertheless, it has made American civilization the envy of the world; or any how, the feminine half of it. rftever before in history has any nation devoted so large a share of its brains and resources to the sole purpose of keeping its wo men greased, deodorized, cor seted, enshrined in chrome con vertibles, curled, slenderized, re juvenated, and relieved of all physical labor." In other countries, Fischer says, women are still deluded in to thinking that "they ought to make life a little pleasanter and easier for their breadwinners; only here is the Ideal Male one who dedicates his life to the Nation of Mittyi The American woman's cam paign to reform her husband is producing a Nation of Walter ittys, he says. "Again, never in history has any country contained such a high proportion of cowed males, drilled with Prussian thorough ness to shun all household sins," Fischer writes. "Never, but never, do they drop cigar ashes in the icebox, prop their feet on a coffee table, leave an un washed dish in the sink, kick a baby, or stuff a sofa cushion into the mouth of a babbling guest: They. endure their mar ried lives in mute docility, and die mercifully early from ulcers and high blood pressure."
