From where I sit... /y Joe Marsh
Do Men Like Women?
Maybe you read (hat recent ar-
ticle in a national magazine, claim-
ing that American men don’t really
like the company of women. They
just put them up on a pedestal and
leave them there.
But I wouldn’t say that that was
so in our town. Look at any mar-
ried couple—like the Cuppers.
Jane wouldft’t nag if Dee spent his
evenings “with the boys” but
actually Dee likes^nothing better
than to stay home by the fire,
sharing a glass of beer with Jane,
playing cribbage, or just talking.
And when ho does go nut, for
an afternoon of fishing down at
Seward’s Creek, or for an evening
glass of beer at Andy Botkin's
Garden Tavern, Jane is almost al-
ways with him (except when she’s
got a spot of baking in the oven).
From where I sit, respect
doesn’t rule out everyday com-
panionship . . . and never should.
They go together—essential parts
of a successful marriage.

liam Vorhies, John Nash, Jack Mil-

ghter, born at N't. Edwards Hospital,
March 9, 1947, who has been named

mer Juanita Gunn, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. If. R. Gunn of May afield.

Young Green, has returned from over
seas, and wu discharged from Fort
Dix, New Jersey, and while in route
home, met Moulton Cobb, from down

of the youngest boys in age, to see
service in Germany. He is a native
