Van denberg's court, is almost con vinced that It's better to have Joved and lost much better. Mrs. Abernathy has written mil lions of words aboui marital strife and she says excessive drinking is the chief enemy of connubial bliss. "I would estimate that alcohol is responsible for 90. per cent of the divorces In Klamath County," she said. At least when the liti gants appear in court their testi mony shows that if one or the other party wasn't addicted to al cohol, their marital troubles could probablv be resolved." CAREER VOMAN ' Mrs. Abernathy has been able to successfully combine a career wi.h a family. 'There are many women who are not the housewife type," s!ie said. "They want to engage in a profession or some other outside endeavor. It is possible to pursue career and at'the same time be a good wife and mother." Mrs. Abernathy. who was born In the little Canadian border town of Molson, Washington, at one time; was secretary' to General Lewis Hershey, national draft di rector. ' When she was a child, her fam ily moved to Bend whei'e she at tended grammar and high school. She then spent three years at Linfield College in McMinnville. Her first job was a secretarial post with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. While working for ths AAA, she took a federal civil service ex amination and subsequently re ceived an appointment as secre tary to the chief of classification in personnel for the Civil Service. Later she became secretary to General Hershey. CI'PIl) GOT HER During her sojourn in the na tional capital, Dan Cupid got a long-distance bead on her and his aim was straight and true. She returned to Oregon and was mar ried to "Tom Abernathy, who is now a Klamath Falls optician. They had attended school togeth er in Bend. In 1942, .shortly before her hus band entered the Army, Mrs. Abernathy went to work for the United States Maritime Commis sion in Portland. Later she was employed as secretary to the li p.iscn officer for the United States Air Force in Portland. In 1944, Mrs. Abernathy re turned to Bend and began her career as a reporter in the Des- Then . . chutes Circuit Court. After her husband's return from the serv ice, the family rmwed to Klamath Falls. Mrs. Abernathy has been a court, reporter ncre since iwu.

BY BUD BUESING Each year millions of am ateur photographers take aim at the family Shrlstmas tree and In nine cases"out of ten, they're sorely disappointed with the results. A straight flash picture will be flat and lifeless, and a long time exposure over-exposes the tree lights. Try this tech nique this Christ mas. Buy a roll of medium speed pan film and three No. 22 flash bulbs. Mount your camera firmly on a tripod or other solid footing. Focus carefully, and make sure the entire tree is Included In the scene. Make three time exposures of one-second duration each, with the camera lens aperture set at i ll, f .16 and f 22. Flash one bulb for each exposure while the shutter is open. The f .16 negative should be about right, but the other two . ex posure; are insurance. Here's what happens... . During the one-si'cond exposure the dim Christmas tree lights have time to record their light on 111m, The sudden flood nf light from the flashbulb records the tree itself and the gifts around it. Tve brilliant flash light also causes hundreds of highlights on the tinsel and trimmings to be recorded. And one other caution . . . Be sure all room lights are turned out. And to be sure you have the right film, flash bulbs ... or anything else in photographie equipment . ' . . be sure to stop In and see us.
