General Assembly To Get Bill
Raise Minimum Age For Marriage
A proposed change in Geor
gia marriage laws, aimed at
placing a curb on broken homes
and child abandonment, is gain
ing statewide support.
Proponents of the change
hope to get legislation intro
duced in the January session of
the General Assembly which
would raise the minimum age
for marriage from 14 to 16 for
women and from 17 to 18 years
for men.
Tied in with this wmuld be
a requirement that birth cer
tificates be attached to a mar
riage license application as
proof of age, and a compulsory
five-day waiting period be
tween filing of application and
issuance of license.
And a fourth change, which
has been described as the
most important one, provides
that violation of any of t h e
marriage laws by an Ordinary
would be punishable as a mis
demeanor.
Backing the proposed mea
sures is Community Services
Association of Columbus, an
advisory community organiza
tion composed of civic leaders
— ministers, doctors, judges,
social workers, teachers and
businessmen.
Legislators from Muscogee
County have agreed to back
the measures and seek support
for their passage.
Further support of the pro
gram was indicated recently at
a meeting in Atlanta, when
eight juvenile court judges
concurred in the proposal to
raise the minimum age for mar
riage.
Judge Stanford Willis of Co
lumbus, a member of the State
Juvenile Court Judges Associa
tion and also of Community
Services Association, said the
statewide Judges association
will take up the matter of
teenage marriages at its meet
ing in Atlanta on January 11.
The primary purpose of the
proposed changes in law, ac
cording to a spokesman for
Community Services Associa
tion. is to strengthen family life
in Georgia.
A year-long study made by
this group shows that there is
a definite trend toward very
early marriages, while the
number of divorces, broken
homes and abandoned children
continues to rise.
The study showed that sta
tistics about under - age mar
riages are difficult to obtain
since in many instances,
youngsters do not tell the truth
about their ages when applying
for a marriage license in order
to meet legal requirement.
It is also noted that the di
vorce rate for couples who
marry under the age of 20 runs
to more than 20 per cent, but
falls oft to 10 per cent when
both parties were between the
ages of 20 and 25 at the time
of marriage and declines fur
ther when both were over the
age of 21 at the time of marri
age.
One of the most significant
facts brought out in the study
is the high rate of school drop
outs among those who marry
while still in high school. Gen
erally, less than one-third of
the students who are married
remain in school, according to
one authority quoted in t h e
study.
Most teenagers who marry
do not consider whether they
are ready for marriage or t h e
responsibilities entailed, and
give little if any thought as to
the future, the report states.
TB Seal Campaign
Lagging in State
Contributions to the tuber
culosis Christmas Seal Cam
paign continued to come into
state association headquarters,
Dr. Joe Cruise, Association pre
sident said in Atlanta today.
Dr. Cruise reported that more
than $300,000 00 has been con
tributed to this year’s drive.
This is substantially less than
had been received at this same
time one year ago.
Newton County’s total was
not listed in the report receiv
ed by The News Monday.
Preparing his report for the
January meeting of the Georgia
Tuberculosis Association board
of directors, Dr. Cruise stated
that unless contributions in
crease, local and state tubercu
losis associations will have to
sharply curtail their 1961 pro
grama. “Tuberculosis continues
to be one of the most severe
public health hazards,” he
said. “Unless our communities
recognize this and rally to the
support of TB control efforts,
we stand to lose much of the
progress achieved in the last
few years.”
Ninety four per cent of the
money contributed to the
Christmas Seal Campaign re
mains in Georgia to help fi
nance programs of education,
case detection, rehabilitation
and services to TB patients at
home and in the hospital. The
remaining six per cent supports
the program of the National TB
Association including a broad
program of medical and social
research.
Supplies of frozen vegetables
available during the first half
of this year will probably be
the same to slightly larger
than for the same period last
year, says W. C. Carter, Ex
tension fruit and vegetable
marketing specialist.

Employers Os
Farm Help Must
Report Cash Wages
Farmers! Don’t be caught
napping on January 31. On or

the District Director of Internal
Revenue. This applies to all
farmers who hire farm work
ers if their work is covered by
social security. A farm work
er is covered by social security
if (1) he is paid at least $l5O a
year; or (2) he works at least
20 days during the year and is
paid on a time basis (by the
hour, day, or week).
If your farm worker meets
either of these tests, your year

HIGH STRENGTH
Titan ic wood arches of
Southern Pine, several hun
dred feet in length, are being
used for structure and interior
decoration in many large build
ings, such as sports amphithe
aters, churches and school au
ditoriums.
The exposed wood is beauti
fully finished and the visual
impact is striking. But while
less well known, the strength
of these mammoth members is
even more impressive. Some
idea is gained from this com
parison of figures released by
the U. S. Department of Agri
culture and the U. Su Products
Laboratory:
Wood in general is stronger
for its weight than steel.
Southern Pine is the strong
est wood.
The glues that bind the wood
together are even stronger.
