COMPUTER MARRIAGES Then Rabbi Grossmanoutlin? foundation, it merits wide support. ' Jewish, Catholic and Pro - testant clergymen serve as the local or "grassroots"Counselors and interview every applicant. Then these clergymen mail their report to the home office and either reject or recommend the applicant. In the latter case, an IBM card is punched for use on the computer. This card is retained permanently, so if a suitable member of the opposite sex is not available at once, the card may be run through the computer each week, hoping that a new applicant will ultimately prove O.K. The computer merely matches two people on ten compatible counts, so it serves as a scientific "blind date" medium leaving the development of the • actual romance to the couple after they meet. READER'S DIGEST and other _ leading.magazines, plus newspapers and radio or TV stations, generously have "plugged" for this organization, since its goal is to create happy marriar ges and thus reduce the divorce rate. Every applicant pays a modest $25 lifetime registration fee. This doesn't even finance the bare operation of the service so other philanthropic Americans make up the deficits. By contrast, certain commercial "introduction Services" charge $250 for a 6- months' registration, plus an 6 months. - And they may guarantee their women applicants three dates*. • But they often keep a" stable^* .< of gigolo males who take thespf i women to three dinners and theater jdates, but the gigolos may be married so they are obviously not looking for. marriage! Even so, these commercial " Introductory Services" and some of the college computer dating projects occasionally produce happy marriages. But the Scientific Marriage Foundation offers these extra advantages: (1) "AH applicants are personally interviewed by a local clergyman Counselor, who also checks with their 3 references; (2) All members receive continuing advice and literature to help them improve their personalities, whether or not they get married; (3) The lifetime fee is but $25 in contrast to $250 or more elsewhere; (4) No dates are guaranteed so you are not introduced to already married gigolos or gold diggers (no financial data ever mentioned); (5) The divorce rate is almost nil (0.1 of one percent, in contrast to well over 25percent for the nation at large.) If you know of any eligible person wishing to change to widen his prospects for happy marriage, send a long stamped return envelop© plus 20 cents, for the "Scientific Marriage Questionnaire".
