Committee that I do not understand; By KATHLEEN NORRIS WOMAN friend wrecked my marriage," writes a Los Angeles woman. "She meant it well, of course; she was indignant because she thought I had been badly treated anatalked me into divorce. But .it ruined my happiness just the same. "I had been married about seven years," the letter goes on, "when things began to go wrong between Phil and me. We never quite got together on the question of money; I had been raised without any training- i# managing my affairs, and 1/ know now that while I wasn't an extravagant wife, I was slipshod in money matters, and kept him resentful and uneasy. I hated btfdgets, and if Phil asked ,me to sit down and go over our accounts and expenses, I always pulled away. My attitude was, I'll do the best I can and for ljeavens sake don't nag me. "Now I see that I was wrong. Perhaps he was impatient and exacting with an inexperienced housekeeper, but I was wrong, too. Money leakage and waste keep many a good husband worrying and uneasy, when just a little common sense, and giving him the feeling that financial responsibility is a burden shared, would end the difficulty. Woman Disrupts Happy Home. "We had two small boys, and I had" a good kitchen helper when I met the woman I'll call Vera. She had been my mother's friend; is a way she seemed to take my mother's place. I confided in her, and she always sided with me. She thought I ought , to . have more amusement, pleasure, more frocks and luxuries, without ever asking me just how near Phil c^ald come to paying for them. At the time he ' was helping care for a widowed sister who had small twins to raise; ; Vera was indignant over that, and she somewhat infected me with the . same resentment. If we went downtown shopping together she would make me select a smart new hat or - bag; sometimes paying for it herj self, sometimes charging it to Phil-- -1 either proceeding made him furious. "The boys were sick and I got the jfiu from them; Vera moved in to i nurse me. It made me very un- ! comfortable even though it really did help. Afterward Phil said he | hoped we could drop her and we • •quarrelled; he was in money diffi- ' culties, one thing led to another, and finally I found Vera urging me to ask for my freedom. Then, she ] : said, Phil couldn't ride me about the jway I spent my money ; he couldn't ^fibme home drunk and frighten the 'boys--which he did twice--and I ^yould have my children and my :)iteme to possess in peace. "In an evil hour, instead of thinking how tired and burdened and harassed he was, and how justified in resenting the presence of this officious older woman in his home, I did apply for divorce, on the pounds of mental cruelty. I secured -it, and had my freedom. It is not 'too much to say that I have not had an hour of true happiness since. Even my joy in my children doesn't seem the same, for I have cheated them of home and father, and done them irreparable injury. Vera lived . with me for a few months; we partfed and have never seen each other since, and that was three_years ago. "Phil came to our town, as a'cpfnmander in the navy, a few weeks ago. He wanted to borrow my boys for a few weeks; under our divorce agreement he has the right. He has married a fuge, gentle girl, has a baby girl of his own. We talked like two ghosts of what might have been. He "Vent away with the boys--and here I am, staring out ' "Instead of thinkuig hou justified he was in resenting the presence of this officious older woman in his home, I 'did apply fOT a divorce." DON'T INTERFERE No matter hotc well-intentioned advice is, it may do untold harm. Miss Norris tells how a meddling older tvoman wrecked a young uife's home by constant criticism of the husband and finally by urging the wife to seek a divorce. ' What started as small arguments over budgets and extravagance developed into bitterness as the wife thought she was being abused and restricted. Then when the husband fell into' financial difficulties during the depression and took to drink, the wife decided that she could not go on. All the time she was under the influence of this older woman, a friend of her mother s. JT hen she took the fatal step and obtained a divorce on grounds of mental cruelty, she was following the advice of this "friend." No sooner was she "free" than she began to regret her hasty action. "I have not had an hour of true happiness since," she confides. "Even my joy in my children doesn't seem the same, for I have cheated them o[ home and father, and done them irreparable injury."

As I interpret it, congress, in 1933, established Production Credit Corporations and Associations, the Production Credit Associations being the offspring of the Corporations. The Corporations were financed _ with" government funds, and these, in turn, financed the Associations with government funds and without • any interest charges. The investment of the government, through the Credit Corporations, was represented by non-voting stock in the Associations. As conditions improved, congress had expected the farmers to buy up this government- owned stock and make of these Associations privately owned farm cooperative financing organizations. Ten years after the government started these Associations there were, on December 31, 1943 , 523 of. them in operation, with a total capitalization of $102,405,376. Of that amount the government still holds, through Production Credit Corporations, $75,770,460. The farmers had taken over $26,634,916. The farmers then owned 24 per cent, and theirs was the voting stock. The farmer members controlled while the government provided most of the funds. That was as far as I could get without assistance so I tried a local banker. He could not help me; the complications involved in the government's farm loaning operations were beyond him.

Well, to a certain extent, Marjorie, we all throw our lives away. We all make mistakes and miss opportunities. Your tragic error was in believing that a detached, idle woman, with nothing to do but try to steal a part of your life, could possibly give you wise advi<jp. Qht cheer up; you are not 30 years old yet. In getting into some hard necessary activity, and not only helping physically to bring nearer the time when a better day will dawn for us all, but also fitting yourself mentally for the needs of the new world, you will find healing. There is work and happiness ahead for you; life isn't over. The years ahead of us are going to be the most thrilling in the history of the world, and with two sons to build for, you will soon become absorbed in the new plans and new ideals to which we all must grow, Make the boys' characters as sane, simple, strong as you can. Lose yourself in service; war-production service, service at home with your sons. Red Cross service, service to all the organizations that are holding civilization together; boy and girl scouts, war chests, community chests, entertainment of service men, canteens, tl^ere are a hundred avenues of useful and fascinating work open to you. You can't tell what fate has still in store for yoii . what you do know now is that mar riage is a sacred matter, that it con cerns two persons alone, and that however well-meant, outside advice and interference always make trouble.
