ional Drive Wins Transit Fare

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25, 1946

Hikes In Six Cities.

_ Evidence of Boosts in Other Places.

By RICHARD LEWIS he drive of transit interests for nationwide higher transportation fares has produced rate increases in six cities this year, according to Indisnapolis Railways, Inc,

The exhibits were made public last night and will be presented in evidence before the Indiana public service commission during the current ‘hearing on the rail-

The rallways is now getting increased fares via temporary court injunction. In its efforts to have| the 8%-cent token rate made permanent by the commission, the company intends to show that higher fares are a national trend. Promoted by Association The Times disclosed yesterday that this trend is being promoted | by the American Transit association, the top echelon organization of street railway and motor bus interests in the United States. Efforts to increase fares are not confined to privately owned systems. Municipally owned systerhs are raising fares as well. The objéctive generally appears to be a 10cent straight cash fare, which is 1% cents more than what Indianapolis Railways is asking. Cities where rates have been hiked this year are: Chicago, where Chicago Rapid. transit fares went from 10 to 12 cents; Detroit street rafllways department, 6 to 10 cents; 10s Angeles Transit Co, 7 to 10 cents; Cleveland Transit, elimination of six for 50 cents token fare in favor of straight 10-cent cash fare, San Francisco, California st. rail- | road, 7 to 10-cent cash fare or three |

during the war disclosed that 2169 sailors “dated” had an average of only. six girls in their lives up to the age of 25, the average marriageable age.

" ” Id A BROADER social life for young people is necessary for proper emotional preparation for marriage, he said, “Most girls don't have an adequate opportunity to meet enough eligible: young men from whom to choose a partner, hence, thousands of ‘them marry from a fleld of only three or four men they know really: well,” Dr, Popenoe said. One of the major factors in the rising divorce rate is that thousands of persons enter marriage without berg: emotionally “grown up,” he sald, “That is, they have not had enough training or experience in social life to know how to get along with other people, they have little or no knowledge of the opposite sex before marriage and never have had the opportunity to meet enough people to select the proper mate.” Dr. Popenoe said his institute is advocating special training for marriage in the public schools and colleges,

“THE SCHOOLS are the place for it since.they form the main matrimonial bureau for all marriages,” he said. “It's in the schools, in

all their lives,” he said. And the only way to correct this is by broadening the training for social life, he said. The public school system now is responsible primarily for academic maturity of children, he said.

Life for

Happy Marriage, Says Doctor

Fears of life's problems in the future should be eliminated as much as possible from a child's mind in order that he can face adjustments confidently, . " . THE THREE KEY words to describe qualities for a successful marriage, he ‘said, are “self-control, knowledge and unselfishness.” Dr. Popenoe said a study of thousands of divorce cases has disclosed that sexual maladjustments were in the background of more than 75 per cent of the marriage failures, “These sexual maladjustments are not necessarily physical in nature but purely the result of immature emotional reactions such ns fear,” he said.
