Servicemen May Prefer Mature Girls by ruth millett A Cleveland minister in a public address recently spoke of unmar ried girls between the ages of 21 and 25 as “the iost generation” be cause he things a great many of them will never get a chance to marry since the young men who re turn from Over-seas will choose younger girls for wives. A reporter on the Cleveland Press interviewed a number of girls in that age group and didn’t find any willing to agree to the minister’s pessimistic outlook for them. Maybe the girls are right even though the minister does have some statistics from the last war to back up his claim. To begin with, soliders of this war are reported to have a more serious outlook on Mfe than the soldiers of the last war and to have a more mature point of view. If that is actually the case, young men betwen 21 and 25 who return from over-seas may prefer girls their own ages. The jitterbug enthusiasms of the 17 and 18-year-olds may leave men matured by battle critically cold. A girl who has been hold ing down a job during the war instead of wearing bobby socks and swooning over Sinatra may be much more appealing to the returning veterans. Then, too, the girls of 20 or 25 will be able to help support their marriages, if that is necessary— and it is sure to be in many cases, until young men get a new start in civilian life. A lot of young men are going to come back home ready to settle down and enjoy home life. They .would certainly have a better chance of doing that if they marry girls their own ages than if they marry young kids who will want to go out dancing every night. With so much obviously in their favor, no wonder the 25-year-olds aren’t worrying their heads about competition from the teen-agers even in the face of being called “the iost generation." • * * MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Miss Irene Aiken of Sylvia, and H.
