Git Your Marriage
A Good Start
No bride expects her marriage
to fail. 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

break under the strain. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
