NATiUNAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Mewspupers, 331 | marth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, WasiL | | | | ])l\'ORCE RECESSION A national sigh of relief has followed the report that the divorce boom is in recession. Perhaps we are not headed toward Sodom and Gomorrah, after all, or even toward one divorce to every two mar- riages, as was widely predicted two years ago when | the rate approached a 1-to-3 ratio. Though it is stfll‘ well above that of the prewar period, its steady | drop across the country through 1947 and on into 1948 | shows that at least the marital mistakes of war have | been straightened out to a large degree. Whether | it shows a trend toward stabler marriage is debatable. For it is likely that the high cost of living has hurt the divorce business. The recession in that business first showed up at Reno about the time’luxury goods began their decline. The drop has now spread to those groups that cannot afford Reno divorces. Also, divorce | statistics may be affected by an increase in *“poor man’s divorce”—desertion—which tends to soar when | the pinch of living is felt. However, since prosperity is still general among many groups of the population—and divorce normal- ly is high in such periods—there is a chance its reces- sion may mean that a settling-down mood is mani- festing itself in family life, perhaps as part of the| social and political conservatism of the day. And while | the long-term divorce trend has been upward through this century at least, many cial scientists see hope that it will lower or at least stabilize as a result of the widespread education for marriage and training in | human relations now being sponsored by churches, | schools, colleges and communities. As human beings | get to understand and manage themselves better, fam- | ily life ought to become stabler and happier. “People are losing their fear of hell,” asserts an evangelist.

They range from former attorneys to miners and all at one time were afflicted with one of the society’s most horrible but seemingly uncurable | diseases—Alcoholism. These men all of stalwart character suffered from a susceptibility for alcohol that defied medical science. Only by banding together and speaking frankly of their malady and gaining confidence from fellow members could they shake it off and become normal men again. The other night the A. A. group of Anchorax..e breke precedence by momentarily dropping their an- onimity and inviting a few “outside” to their meeting. The guests who were privilege to attend could not help but be installed with the deep faith of these men in their knowledge that through helping others they have helped themselves. Their testimonials, | given voluntarily and freely revealed the tremendous gratitude for the opportunity afforded each member in becoming associated with AA and shaking off his fearful malady. Only those who make the grade remain members of AA and it was a tribute to the local group's endeavor to learn that its membership is growing and not receding. Men at the meting told how they had been drunks for 20 years, how they had gone on “benders” that lasted for as long as 18 months, how they had lost All this behind them now, each gave reverent thanks to Alcoholic Anonymous. Some statistics, nationally, indicate that the his- tory of AA is everywhere the same as in Anchorage. It was founded in 1934 by Bill W., an attorney. Five years later AA had 100 members. On August 1 of this year there were 67,850 members in all States, the Territories and some foreign countries. The small bands grow daily spreading their good without fanfare and without pay. They are doing a service that medical men, psycRologists and even churchmen have failed in attempting. It is a shame the Anchorage group cannot stand up and take a public bow. They are anxious however, to get in touch with those needing AA's help.

The Mixed Chorus of the High School presented two songs, “Come to the Fair,” and “If You Were the Only Girl in the World.” Miss Beat- rice McNeeley is directori of the Chorus.
