Most Os American Marriages Endure

EDITOR’S NOTE: If you aren’t married, the chances are overwhelming that you will be. The following dispatch, the first es four, examines the subject of matrimony and divorce.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

By BARNEY SEIBERT United Press International June is busting out. all over with marriages, and the annual national rate shows that six persons wed every minute. The ceremony is performed on an average of every 19% seconds through the year. The total number of persons wed this year will be about 1.6 million. And despite the concern over the rising divorce rate, the bulk of them will stay married. Census figures show that 85 per Cent of the Americans who have been married have had only one spouse. Sociologists have found that three-fourths of all divorced persons remarry within five years. Subject Os Debate Thus, most American marri■uges endure, happily or otherwise. The happiness percentage has been a subject of debate down through the centuries. Author J. P. Marquand said marriage is “damnably serious business, particularly around Boston.” Essayist Michel De Montaigne likened marriage to a “cage,” Shakespeare to a “curse,” and Cervantes to a “noose.” Popular it is. In the United States 9 of every 10 persons marry before the age of 32. The average age for marriage is around 20 for women and 22 for men — somewhat too soon • according to many authorities. The most popular age for marriage among women is 23 and among men 2627. If you are an unmarried worn?n between the ages of 22 and 24 there is one chance in five you will marry before the year ends. , If.you between the ages of 25 ana 28 there is better than one chance in six you will marry within the next 12 months. But if you are a bachelor- aged 30 there are less than three chances in four you will ever marry. A 30-year-old spinster has only slightly more than one chance in two of every marrying. An unmarried woman who is 40 has only one chance in five of finding a husband, but an unmarried man the same age has a one in three chance. “Two Party System” An American Medical Association writer, Dr. Stanley R. Dean, described marriage as “probably the first two-party system of* government ever devised.” .. An ideal partner in this’* twoparty system, Dr. James H. Pe-

terson, University of Southern California sociologist and marriage counselor said, is “a person who meets one’s emotional needs, fits within the boundary: of one’s temperamental pattern, who is physically attractive, and who maintains interests that are stimulating — one who has a well developed sense of values on which one can depend, and one who has fairly similar cultural-refer-ence groups a sociological term meaning similar background." As for what makes marriages go wrong, Peterson warned: "As the age of the individual goes down from 21, the divorce rate goes up. The. lower the age, the higher the rate of failure. "The higher the educational level, the lower the rate of divorce," he adds. “The more schooling the fewer the problems.”' , Upholstery Tacks To complete the driving of brassheaded upholstery tacks without crushing them, use a short dowel in one end of which a shallow hole has been drilled — setting this drilled end on the tack and tapping the other end of the dowel with your hammer. i,|J - * ~ it GIVES UP — Shondor Birns - surrendered to Sheriff James McGettrick for questioning in the Mervin Gold murder.

Folk Singers Far Cry From Original By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — I can remember when a folk singer was a guy who wore dirty undershirts. He played the guitar “by ear,” which probably sounded better than if he had used fiis hands. He could sing all 102 versis of “Lonesome Freight Train” and insisted on doing so. ‘ln s ome states, this was recognized as grounds for divorce. Almost every, community had a folk singer, along with a town drunk and a village idiot. In many communities, all three of them were the same fellow. Folk singers performed mainly in talent shows staged in the high school gymnasium to raise money for the volunteer fire department. 1 Got Little Reward They were not paid for these appearances, but as a reward for their services they were allowed to start two fires. All of this, as anyone who has looked out the window lately is aware, has drastically changed. Folk singers now travel in groups, partly for harmony and partly for safety. Clean-cut young men in Ivy League clothes, who studied business administration in college, are making fortunes by musically recounting the misfortunes of immigrant coal miners. > Their link with the working class is authentic, however. They have calluses on their stringplucking fingers and they wear union-made neckties. Which are real sincere. As much as any group, and more than most, the Kingston Trio is responsible for the folk music transformation. Having been together for five years now, the Kingstons are regarded as the elder statesmen of the new breed. Target Os Purists This makes them a prime target of the traditionalists, as I found out in the Course of a talk with the Kingstons, who are appearing here this week. “Everybody is a self-appointed folk music expert nowadays,” said guitarist Nick Reynolds. “Right now it’s very ‘in’ to put us down as prostitutes of folk music.” “If we so much as add an E-minor to ‘Dear Betsy,’ they picket out Inext concert said guitarist Bob Shane. “With some of them folk music is almost like a religion,” said guitarist John Stewart. “If they served communion at' concerts, half of : the audience would be up at the rail.”
