Kappa Alpha Theta is the largest single contributor to this worthy cause, and is currently supporting the Occupational t h e r a py depart ment. It will take S25.000 an nually to operate this depart ment. To quote Mrs. Plummer: '"This is indeed a challenge when one, thinks of the number of Wcfeets which have to be sold for style shows, antique shows, dances, teas, bridge luncheons, and the number of white el ephant sales, and Christmas card sales which will take place dur ing the coming year." That the efforts of the soror ity are not in vain is evidenced by this excerpt from a letter written by Dr. Martin F. Pal mer: "A recent survey by an Eastern firm of business con sultants singled out the Institute gs an "ideal" center, and the only one of its kind in the fl rated States with the necessary elements present to attack all speech and hearing problems roperly and with continuity."

Both Blue Birds and Camp Fire Girls are invited. Members should con tact their leaders and guardians for information and transportation. and I always felt that our par ents and our family life were ideal in every way. Recently, however, during a long talk with my mother I learned that she and my father had never been legally married! I told my mother how shocked I was. After all, we have been brought up to respect morality and law. How can we accept the fact that our parents are not really man and wife? I haven't told my brothers and sister about this, but I know they feel as I do. I feel that my parents should legalize their relationship and have a religious ceremony, but they don't want to go through with it. Mrs. E. T. My husband and I have lived together as man and wife for more than 30 years. We have raised a family and have grandchildren. How can we now go before a judge or clergyman to be married?

Salmon at Broadway Portland, Oregon much and wanted to raise our children differently. I feel we have succeeded. I am sorry this secret came out. I don't know why I ever told my daughter, but I certain ly never expected her to react the way she has. We have led a more moral life than many couples who marry legally. My husband and I are very upset that Mildred has taken this thing so badly. The Council: It is very likely that Mr. and Mrs. E. T. are up set not merely by their daugh ter's reaction, but by a long-pushed-aside feeling that they should do exactly as she recom mends. This secret did not come out accidentally, as Mrs. E. T. be lieves. It came out because it has long lain on her conscience. Pos sibly she wanted to test her daughter's reaction and be urged to take the very step she is now resisting. The fact that she and her husband have led a righteous life outside of this one area and that they brought their children up to respect morality and law is in their favor, but certainly does not justify their withdrawal from a formality and ritual they now understand and indorse. There are many practical rea sons why the relationship should be legalized. Som states recog nize common-law marriage, but others do not. There is the mat ter of old-age benefits, pensions, insurance, a will. Mrs. E. T. may have little or no legal rights as a wife. It is a simple matter to acquire a marriage certificate, which would entitle her to her full rights as a wife. If he couple lives in an area where the issuance of marriage licenses is publicized, they can easily get one in another area where it is not. The clerk who issues the license will not probe into their personal lives. All they need do is comply with very minimum regulations set by each state. As for the religious ceremony, any clergyman of their faith will be delighted to give this relation ship the spiritual blessing it has lacked. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. can be quite confident that the clergy man will not embarrass them or hurt them. He will share in their happiness that they have come to take this step. (Copyright 1957. General Features Corp.) Gary Meredith Returns to Cave Junction After Trip Cave Junction Gary Meredith who represented Region 11 in the recent Eagle Report to the Nation at Washington, D.C., lived up to one of his Boy Scout promises last week. And in doing his good deed, the Cave Junction Scout missed his homeward bound plane from Chicago. When Gary stopped to direct a fellow passenger, a French man who spoke no English, he somehow lost connections for his own flight, and was stranded in Chicago two hours. He caught Francisco, however, when weather grounded all flights temporarily. Young Meredith returned to Cave Junction late Friday after noon. Among the most treasured souvenir of his trip Gary said, is the silver dollar and the "golf pencil" given to him by Pres ident Eisenhower. In addition to breakfasts, luncheons and dinners with Washington notables, the 12 Eagle Scouts found time to browse through the Smithsonian up with his schedule at San1 Institute, visit the Lincoln.
