On Problems
In Marriage
"Heaven can be made in mar
riage" was the thesis of an ad
dress by Dr Janet Fowler Nel
son, author of "Marriages Are
Not Made in Heaven," and mar
riage educator, at a convocation
in the Union ballroom Thursday
night.
"Marriage Is not a job, but a
relationship in which we live and
learn," Dr. Fowler stated. "It is
not just the sum total of sex, lei
sure, budget, fam'ly and so forth
but is important of itself and, if
sound, enables one to do better
work in his community."
Dealing with three primary and
widespread problems in marriage
those of money, background and
sex relationships Dr. Fowler
said that material aspects of mar
riage are overplayed in adver
tisements. "It is Important to know wheth
er two can live as cheaply as one,
but just knowing how to make a
budget won't solve the money
question," she asserted. "There

ler, broke all previous attendance
records at the Cafe Rouge in New
York's Pennsylvania hotel when
they were booked there following
their first appearance at the Glen
Island Casino in New Rochelle,
N. Y. Within five years Spivak
and the musicians he had chosen
to blend their talents with his in
imitable trumpet mastery rose to
the top ranks of sweet bands, so

listed him top sweet band in the
land, replacing Tommy Dorsey in
that position.

dreamers on the vocals. Mercer
drew praise from Billboard mag
