A new vile is confident that she can solve problems as they arise, and she takes happi ness for granted, thinking that it will always continue. Divorce seems as remote to her as the stars. Yet statistics show that more than one divorce in four takes place within three years of mar- . riage. Within such a short time. a happiness which seemed eter nal has been lost, and a mar riage made for eternity has broken. What has happened? The first year is the most im portant in determining the fu ture success of the marriage. If it is burdened with in-laws, per sonal conflict, financial troubles, or unexpected oppressive real ities, the marriage may well Masonic Orders Anndunce Picnic Central Point Members of Nevita chapter.

This is the trial-and-error year in which couples find out if they really love each other enough to work at making marriage succeed. The second year continues and intensifies the tensions of the first year. Coupls who waited for "time to straighten things out" decide at length that they must face and resolve their prob blems, or dissolve their relation ship. The third year accumulates still more friction, which with the arrival of children, often be comes unbearable. Religious and sexual difficulties bear down in creasingly hard, unresolved con flicts and long-term conflicts thrust the third year divorce above that of any other single year. The wise couple does not wait for a problem to mushroom to gigantic size before seeking com petent help. Wise couples seek marriage counsel and guidance even before marriage, and most certainly after marriage at the first danger signal. NEW LIGHT7"NOBULBS Bloomfield, N.J.

Master's Degree Is Awarded to Elderly Woman By CLARENCE' RAWLINGS Fresno, Calif. (U.R) A Fres no grandmother who wanted "to keep busy" has won her master of arts degree from Fresno State college. She is 77. "It's nothing that anyone else could not have done," said Mrs. Katherine Traphagen Davis. But she added that college work is no "snap" even for a Stanford university graduate with a Phi Beta Kappa key. The new degree came more than 50 years after Mrs. Davis received her bachelor of arts degree in English at Stanford. Her explanation for resuming hereducation at FSC was: "we have a nice college in Fresno and I decided to go back to school." In her three and a half years at FSC, Mrs. Davis said class mates made her feel very much at home and she considered her self as a coed in all her classes. Mrs. Davis said there was a disadvantage in competing with younger students. They seemed to require less study time than she did. Nevertheless, she ended the term with a B-plus average. Mrs. Davis' thesis, a biogra phy fit her late husband C. M. Davis, a Los Angeles trade jour nal publisher, already has been requested by two college li braries. After graduation from Stan ford in 1904, Mrs. Davis taught classes at the Girls Collegiate school in Los Angeles and Glen dale Union High school for sev eral years. During World War II, when there was a severe shortage of teachers, she work ed as a substitute teacher in the Pasadena schools. Asked if she would recom mend college for others who have been out of school for some time, she said she could not make a recommendation to anyone unless he really wanted to improve his education. "But," she added, "many per sons who have passed 'college age' are going back to school, and I think it is a wonderful thing." Charleston Girl Is First Woman Conservationist Charleston, W. Va. KU.R) A prettty, 20-year-old Charleston girl who wants a career as a conservationist has become the first woman employed by the fish management division, the West Virginia Conservation Commission. ; Nancy Ellen Hatfield, a major in zoology at the University of Kentucky, said she will seek full time work in the conserva tion field when she graduates in 1957. "Women are needed in con servation," she said. "And they can do the work." She said her biggest problem to far has been one of overcom ing her own fear that men might resent a woman in the field. She was amazed at how fast the com misson hired her, once she mus tered the courage to apply for summer employment. "She put across the idea in her letter that she wasn't afraid to work, and we believed her," said Harry Van Meter, head of the fish management division. She is getting into the con servation field because she likes the outdoors and science, and believes they go together in con servation. Her father taught her to fish and hunt when she was a small girl, so the great outdoors is in her blood. Her work this summer has been on a creel census report established by the commission as a way of learning where the "big ones" are. PARD DOG FOOD . B See Women in Spotlight At Party Conventions Editor's note: Because of the wide interest in the cominn Democratic and Republican conventions. United Press has compiled material on Mrs. Bertha S. Adkins. assistant to the chairman of the Republican Xationa committee, and Mrs. Kathleen Scofield Louchheim. director of women' activities for the Democratic National committee. Washington (U.R) 'Mrs. Bertha S. Adkins, assistant to the chairman of the Republican National Committee, arrived on the political scene via a college campus. The former dean of women at Western Maryland College was interested in politics early in life and . . . belongs to a -prominent family of practicing poli ticians on Maryland's eastern shore. Her active political role began in 1946 when she helped elect Edward T. Miller as the first Republican congresman to represent Maryland's first Dis trict in 25 years. Efficient and effective, Miss Adkins is a tall brunette whose sense of humor seldom is sub merged no matter how stuffy the gathering. Born in Salisbury, Md., she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Wellesley college and her masters from Colum bia. Not too long afterwards she began an eight-year stint as dean of women at Western Maryland followed by four years as 'dean of residence at Bradford Junior college. A member of the national committee since 1948, Mrs. Ad kins became executive director of women's division in March, 1950, and held that post until elevated to present job in Jan uary, 1953. She has been ap pointed director of special ac tivities for the 1956 campaign year along with her" other du ties. . Probably Mrs. Adkins .most widely publicized coup was con vincing President Eisenhower that he should participate in eight crack-of-dawn breakfasts over a four-month period with women leaders from all over the country. . . Her "Thank You, Mr. Presi dent" -fund drive nets dollars for party coffers and has been a strong influence behind the administration appointment of 113 women to important federal jobs. Called "Bertha" by President Eisenhower, she initiated wom en's national and regional con ferences held annually in Wash ington and drawing top cabinet officials from the chief execu tive down. New Dining Table Lower Than Normal Chicago (U.R) A new style in dining tables is on the way, and if the current trend con tinues that old saying about the floor being "clean enough to eat from" someday may be taken literally. A West coast furniture manu facturer has introduced an Oriental-style dining table only 25 inches high, five inches less than normal. Charles E. Hatcher, of The Tropical Sun Co. said retailers asked him to create the shorter table. "One store told me they'd buy all I could manufacture," Hatch er said.. "Then when the item came out it was so successful we decided to introduce it around the nation." All the company's products are constructed of rattan.

Buy some Holsum today. MAKE IT TASTE BETTER Serve it with Holsum Bread Washington (U.R) Mrs. Kath leen Scofield Louchheim, direc tor of women's activities for the Democratic National committee is blonde, friendly, and freck led. Known universally as "Katie", she has successfully combined politics with mar riage. One of her major efforts is to get more women to do likewise. Born in New York City, she brought to her job at the com mittee some 15 years of active political life, from precinct worker on up. She was a dele gate to the 1948 and 1952 Dem ocratic conventions.. ' During World War II Mrs. Loucheim was assistant to the director of Public Information for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administra tion and its predecessor. In 1945 she went on a special UNRRA mission interviewing displaced persons in the American Zone of Germany. Husband Gives All Her husband is Walter C. Louchheim Jr., private invest ment counselor in the District of Columbia, who once quipped, "I'm sorry I've only one wife to give to the Democratic party." They have two daughters, one married and one teaching in Boston, and one grandson. Mrs. Louchheim is as proud of the grandson as she would be of a precinct load of votes for the Democrats. Since she replaced India Ed wards on the committee in Oc tober. 1953, Mrs. Louchheim has traveled 50,000 miles in. 35 states hammering at her three point program of "confer, com municate,, collect;" launched regional conferences stressing political techniques for political neophytes; evolved a "Vote Winner's Notebook" for the same reason and kicked off highly successful fund drives "Dollars for Democrats" and "Teas for TV" aimed at small Contributors. Her pet peeve is the notion of a "women's vote" or "wom en's issues" ... believes wo men and men have the same interests in politics. Oriental Furniture Said Popular Here Chicago (U.R) East meets West in the furniture industry, with good results for the manu facturers. The demand for Oriental fur niture is on the increase, said Robert D. Ross, an official of Consider H. Willett. Ross said that the trend to ward Oriental furniture has been growing for the last three years. He attributed the growth to the simplicity of Oriental styling, along with the ability of Oriental furniture to appear neither traditional nor ultra modern.

I Spuds LETTUCE ST ICE COLD Women Voters Outnumber Men Washington (U.R) Women have the power again this fall to swing the election strictly in terms of their numerical ad vantage over the men. United States Census Bureau estimates show that of 105,000, 000 potential voters this year, 53.700,000 are women. Those estimates show that the fair sex is more than keeping its edge as far as the ballot box is concerned. In 1952, there were 98.377.000 potential voters 50, 000,000 women and 48,000,000 men. Two facta mutt be kept in mind. Not all tpjUrtiluJ vutcri go to the polls (only 63 pj cent did o in 1932), and is no of ficial breakdown ot voting by sex after the ballot are tL In the only such ettimate avail able, the American Heritage Foundation claimed women cast 49.5 per cent of the total vote in 1952. Its 1953 survey showed 39 per cent more women voted in 1952 than in 1948, compared with only a 16 per cent gain for the men. The foundation also stated that women cast 51.9 per cent of the Eisenhower vot, or 17,600,000 votes and 46.5 per cent of the Stevenson vote, or 12,700,000.
