Changing Status of Men, Women Cause Marriage Misunderstandings By NORMA GAUHN AP Newsfeatures New York (AP)—The good old days were when men called their wives “my ball and chain.” .■ Now the men have traded places. They’re the ones who hamper a woman’s freedom rather than the other way around. And as a re sult, everybody is mixed up. Take the word of marriage coun selor Ruth Engle: “There’s never been a time in history that girls had so much free dom before marriage—and been so tied down afterwards.” Mrs. Engle feels many marital woes arise because women no longer have a well-defined role. They are educated for careers far removed from homemaking. Then: “It’s a terrific letdown when a woman finds herself confined to home and babies. It brings out re sentments she takes out on her Country Grooms Nation's Forests For More Uses If you like to eat beefsteaks, read newspapers, or hike wilderness trails, you’ll be one of the millions of Americans benefiting from the Forest Service’s Operation Multiple Use Program described in a new publication issued today by the US Department of Agriculture. A 16-page booklet describes the accelerated program to develop all National Forest resources to meet the increasing demands of an ex panding population during the next 10 to 15 years. The program car ries out the charge of Public Law 86-517 passed this year, directing that the National Forests be ad ministered for multiple use and sustained yield. The Forest Service describes the program as a race against time. “We are trying to make the po tential yields of water, recreation, timber, forage, and wildlife from these public forests keep up with a growing population’s growing needs,” said Richard E. McArdle, chief of the Forest Service. Almost everyone will receive di rect benefits from this program because almost everyone uses some National Forest resource or product, the booklet points out. For instance, your beefsteak or lamb chop may 'have summered on a National Forest range. Na tional Forest water may have irri gated the farms that supply you with food. The pad on which you write and the pencil you use may have been produced from Nation al Forest trees. Perhaps your outdoor recreation takes you to National Forest streams, campgrounds, onto wil derness trails, or over scenic auto mobile roads. The program will provide greater use of National Forests which means fuller enjoy ment, more jobs and expanding wealth. The booklet outlines specific Na tional Forest projects needed to carry out the program. Among them are increasing the water yield, harvesting more timber, stepping up tree planting, improv ing the timber stands, building up the range, improving wildlife habi tat, improving fishing on 7,000 miles of streams and 56,000 acres of lakes, more than tripling the camp and picnic facilities, con struction of roads and trails, and better protection of the National Forests against insects, disease, fire, weather and harmful rodents. Operation Multiple Use also pro vides for intensified research to develop more efficient, cffectiyc, and economical methods of man aging and utilizing the forest re sources. Among other research projects being conducted are studies of for est fire behavior, new techniques for eliminating runaway fires re sponsible for 90 per cent of forest fire losses, and forest genetics. A copy of “Operation Multiple Use — Program for the National Forests” booklet may be obtained from the Forest Service, US De partment of Agriculture, Washing ton, 25, D. C., or from any Forest Service field office. Christian Church Choirs To Give Cantata Friday The choirs of First Christian church, Morehead City, will pre sent a Christmas cantata, Son of the Highest, Friday night at 7:30 at the church.

On the basis of four years experience listening to marriage troubles, her sympathy is with the men. “The husband used to be recog nized as head of the house. Now all the slogans emphasize togeth erness. That implies equal author ity—and that means trouble. Both partners feel their so-called rights are more important than a good relationship with one another.” Mrs. Engle notes that now near ly all women work before mar riage. They have money to spend as they want and few restrictions on their comings and goings. Then come the wedding bells— which toll a death knell for fem inine independence. “They mean the wife has one in come—her husband's. She is fi nancia'ly dependent. And it’s worse when a child comes along. She’s confined to the house and ’he rou tine gets her down.” Mrs. Engle is a great friend of household help—and finds it un fortunate that servants nowadays are virtually non-existent. “As housewives, women don’t get as much free time as their grandmothers,” she says. “Serv ants, unmarried female relations, big families, all used to share the work. Now the wife does it all.” Mrs. Engle thinks women should be educated primarily for their ultimate destination — marriage. She is a strong advocate of pre marital counseling in high school and college. This doesn’t mean women can’t study languages, typing, chemis try or Zen Buddhism if they like. But Mrs. Engle says they should have a realistic view of what they’re getting into in marriage and “be ready to handle it as an occupation with its own special skills.” Mrs. Engle sticks to the idea that woman makes the marriage. She concedes that some men are impossible to live with. But she. also notes it is more important in our society, emotionally and eco nomically, for a woman to be mar ried. v “If a woman is able to sec the relationship as more important than the idea of individual happi ness, a marriage can work out.” She adds: • The most important thing in marriage is to make the other per son happy—not to think “What do 1 get out of it?” • Learn to give and it comes back to you. People are starved for praise; give it and your part ner will bloom. • Living happily ever after isn’t automatic. You have to work at it, constantly. “Boredom Is the most deadly thing for a marriage. If either partner has no interests, either separately or jointly, it’s difficult to keep the relationship alive. “Bring in new things to do, de velop activities and hobbies. Oth erwise the husband or wife will start looking around for something —or somebody else.” Barbour's Marine Supply Co. Beaufort, N. C.
