CITY BRIEFS
Y--ft
Now
After Tnr.king a shorthand rec
ord of hundreds of divorce cases,
Doris Abernathy, official reporter
jn circuit Judfio David R. 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.
Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy have
three children Tommy Jr., 11,
Lynn, 5, and Deborah, 3. They
reside at 1844 Leroy Street.

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.
