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

'"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

by this excerpt from a letter
written by Dr. Martin F. Pal

Eastern firm of business con
sultants singled out the Institute
gs an "ideal" center, and the
only one of its kind in the

elements present to attack all

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?

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.

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.

He spoke at a joint meeting of
the Rogue Valley section of the
Professional Engineers of Ore
gon and the Medford sub section
of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers at the Med

Legs 'Undemocratic'
Washington (U.R) Hun
garian ballet dancer Alice Kiss
told a Hungarian refugee relief
dinner Tuesday night that the
Russians complained her long
shapely legs were "undemo

even ballet dancers should have
short, heavy legs like a Russian
