Do you believe in trial marriages
and what is your attitude?
"No. I think you should lie sure of
yourself before you marry; however, if
it doesn't work out, get a divorce."—
Benny F. Brown.
"No. I don't believe in trial mar
riage because you should be absolutely
sure of what you are doing before you
get married." —Bin Farlow.
"No. When I get married, I want it
to last because I don't think marriage
is a thing to fool around with."—"Bun
ny" Graham.
"No. The world would be in a pretty
mess if everyone went around having
trial marriages."—Marian "Sunshine"
Squire.
"No. It would make the tradition of
marriage a farce." —Carol Fletcher.
"Yes. Theoretically, I believe in trial
marriage, but I believe that as our soci
ety is organized at present it would be
difficult if not impossible to prnctice it."
—August Kadow.
"No. I don't believe in it because
there is no future in it. There are too
many happy marriages."—John Hol
land.
"No. When you live with a person,
you become practically one person, and
if you find that you have made a mis
take, yon could get a divorce and sep
arate, but you will never change inside
again. You can marry someone else
but it won't be the same," —Jack Harke.
"Yes. It's a good thing. It would
probably eliminate many unhappy mar
riages and divorces if people are sin
cere ; but many unscrupulous people
would use trial marriages for their own
advantages."—Paul Jernigan.
"No. I think that the moral stand
ards of the people would be lowered if
trial marriage took place."—John Se
vier.
"Well, there are certain difficulties
that are in the way of trial marriage.
Among these are mores and folkways.
If these can lie overcome, it is very
possible that there would lie trial mar
riage."—"Yank" Abrams.
"No. I feel that a boy or girl, or a
man or woman, should know their mind
before marriage and not make marriage
an experiment."—Florence Fogelson.
"No. Marriage should be a growing
experience and not something based 011
experiment."—Kay Wood.
"Sure. I believe in trial marriage so
you have a chance to adjust yourself
biologically as well as temperamental
ly."—"Red" Holp.
"I beieve in trial marriage but I have
never tried it."—Dean Hire.
"No. I don't believe in trial marriage
for the simple reason that my better
half won't let me."—Dean Thomas.
"I certainly do not. To me, marriage
is a rather sacred thing. I think that
a person should marry only once and
should be sure it is the right thing.
I think that there should be absolutely
110 trial to it."—"Pinky" Voorhees.
"Yes—according to who is on trial."—
Bill Danenburg.

Reintegration of Veteran
In the quiet atmosphere of a small
town museum, Bailey Fount comes to
recuperate from combat fatigue and
wounds suffered in battle. A wise army
loctor sends him there and enlists the
help of the museum management in
restoring Bailey morale and health
through work.
In the "Image of Josephine," a beau
tiful distant cousin, whose family was
responsible for the museum, lurks as a
longer to Bailey's mental recovery from
the shock of the war. She insists on
reminding him of his past experiences
and constantly displays him as a hero.
Josephine's domineering nature is the
reason why she is jilted for a second
time, and Bailey steps in to save the
family pride.
His friends at the museum who are
interested in him blame Josephine for
tiis relapsing to his former condition.
They see her as a hard, selfish girl,
but Bailey, through patience and time,
discovers in her the woman he needs
to help him to reintegrate. The con
clusion is a surprising twist caused by
conflicting psychological forces.
This book makes very absorbing read

THE GUILFORDIAN
Peace and the People
As the hour of victory approaches,
Americans are thinking of what they
want peace to mean to them as indi
viduals, to the nation, nnd to the world
at large. But, so far, no channel for
mass expression of these ideas has been
provided. Our statesmen huve no meas
ure of public sentiment to guide them
as they prepare to sit down at the peace
table with the gentlemen from the
chancelleries nnd foreign offices for the
linal settlement which is to determine
the fate of the world.
For that reason we welcome the an
nouncement of a National Peace Treaty
Contest, the iirst of its kind during
World War 11, through which legal
residents of the United States and its
possessions and members of our armed
forces abroad are Invited to write their
own ideas of a peace treaty in compe
tion for prizes totaling .SIO,OOO in War
Bonds.
The contest, inspired by the best-sell
ing book, "The Gentlemen Talk of
Peace," by William B. ZifT, opened on
March 17, and all entries must be post
marked before midnight, April 15, 1945.
Contestants will be limited to a 1,000-
word expression of how the pence treaty
should be drawn up, but In setting this
limit it is ]M)lnted out that the purpose
of the contest Is to obtain ideas —not
essays—on the subject of peace.
Entries will be judged by a commit
tee of distinguished Americans, headed
by Joseph W. Frazer, chairman of the
board of directors of the Graham-Paige
Motors Corporation. Other members of
the committee in addition to Mr. Frazer
are: Vice-President Harry S. Truman;
Fannie Hurst, novelist; William Green,
president, American Federation of La
bor ; Clinton S. Golden, executive vice
president, United Steel Workers of
America, CIO; Senator Owen Brew
ster, Republican, of Maine; Kay Rand,
former army private wounded at Saler
no; Mrs. Warren Cain, Los Angeles
Catholic clubwoman and blue star
mother; Dr. Rockwell D. Hunt, Dean
of the Graduate School, University of
Southern California; Rev. Ralph W.
Sockman, minister of Christ Church,
Methodist, New York City; and Mr.
ZifT.

informed of the developments nnd ob
jectives of this war than in the case
of any other war in history. In this
war, and the peace to follow, the "ordi
nary" people of the nation are the big
gest stakeholders. They have made all
the sacrifices of war and will continue
to pay its toll in sorrow and money for
many years to come. This National
Peace Treaty Contest, while not giving
them a place at the table with the
mighty men of the world, will at least
give them the satisfaction of making
their voices heard in their own country.
We feel confident that many of the
entries in this contest will contain ideas
that will contribute toward making the
world a better plnce to live in. We
urge everyone to submit their ideas in
