Awarently everyone but Buck- ingham Palace this week knew that Princess Elizabeth, 20-year- old heiress presumptive to the throne of Great Britain, would marry her big, blond handsome cousin. Prince Philip of Greece, sometime next year.

Palace officials clung to their ambiguous denial that "no engage- ment had been announced,“ —but no one said it had. The engage- ment probably won't be announccd~ until after the royal family returns from its tour of South Africa int the spring of 194']. .

O O

Sources which usually know about royal affairs said that a tentative date had even been discussed. The ro-yal tour ends i-n April and the engagement should be announced during the summer. This would mean that the wedding-certain to be the biggest social event of the year-would take place late .‘n the fall. .

s00

One of the reasons there is no immediate announcement ta that Prince Philip is awaiting naturali- zation as a Briton. for which he applied under priority status as an officer in the Roy-ail Navy. Citizen- ship probably will be granted in several months. It, is believed that Philip would receive a British courtesy title.

a

a s

Such a course would meet objec- tions in some quarters to an al- liance with a member of the pres- ent ruling dynasty in Greece. The objections could hardly apply to a. British citizen bearing a British title who had renounced his claims of cession to the Greek throne. Leftist elements in Britain have criticized the reported match for some time. They say it would be

q a good thing if Princess Elizabeth

iwould see less of royalty and. more

countsv. O O O

The story of the romance. as re- lated by a well-informed source, makes it a real love affair That story is easy to believe since Philip is probably the best looking mem- ber of roylltv in Europe and a younger edition of his handsome uncle. Admiral Viscount Mountbat- ten. former supreme commander in Southeast Asia. The young couple had their first date about two years ado but h! name was no more pro. Illflflltly mentioned than any of the mincesrs many escorts _sll of whom were highly eligible.

It’s More Than Housing

Lack til Privacy And Spare llostrilstos to Divorce and Juvenile llcllsgiioiicy

‘ # The housing situation has passed the point where it is jiust a mat-

ter of physical comfort and taste and what you can afford. It has

become a great moral issue, for there is no denying that the increase sn crune is mainly due to our not. having enough room lii which to live

without treading on our fellow creatures’ toes,

In the days when there were the wide open spaces between houses, and no malevolent friend had thought up a kitchenette and a one room and balli apartment as a suitable habitat for a family viiith children, there were few murders, and div- orce was so uncommon it, was a scandal. But now when we are crowded together like animals 1n a cattle ear. we act like wild beasts. We shove and push aiio grab and trample and gore each other just because we are fed up with our families and friends and neighbors that we can't stand them another minute.

One of the primal needs of humanity is s certain amount of priv- Take that away from us and we go berserk. We have to get

acy. away from our nearest and dearest now and then to keep us from wanting to murder them. We have to be able to go somewhere alone where we can work off our gripes by having a good cry or kicking the furniture to inakc us cndurablo. And it was an evil day when the devil inspired some architect to devise the two-family house and, worse Still. to put up apartment buildings.

CAUSES JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Just see how this all ties in with the crime wave. Take juvenile

d9unqllflwy. which is our great problem. What's at the bottom of l

that? Isn't it children who are thrown on the street for amusement and to work off their surplus energy because they had no place in which to play in a little two-by-four flat? When boys grew up in houses that had big attics and honest-to-God basements, where there were barrels of apples and tools with which to build things and stages where they could put on shows, you ncvei- heard of youngsters, who belong- ecl to decent families, stealing automobiles and destroying the iteigli- bors’ property.

And why do so many young girls go astray and get into trouble? Isn't it because they live in little crowded apartments w-here every room opens into another rocun. and they can't have a boy conic to see them at home without the whole family listening in on every word that is said and rehadiing it at the breakfast table the next morning? Isn't that why the little bobby-soxer meets her dates on the street and gets to know boys she should never have known? And isn't the rea- son so many girls are old maids is because there wasn't a door behind Mulch a boy could pop the question? »

And doesn't the wholc divorce problem center right in the llttlc crowded homes where husbands and wives are forced to live so close together they get on each others nerves? There is no spot in the dofnlcile-it would be sardonic to call it a honle-tihat the man sup- ports that he can call his own. No quiet place he can retire to when he is tired where he can rest and gather himself together. Not even a closet “there the husband and wife can find privacy in a box, with- out even any oil to lubricate the situat-ion and keep them from rub- bing each other raw with their little faults. So it is no wonder when they can stand this close-up View of their males no longer that so many husbands and wives get divorces.

It all boils down into saying that what we need more than any- titing else to promote the happiness and well-Jbeing of our people are more and bigger houses. But we have a fat chance of getting them!
