Family Cycle Is
Cottonwood Topic
By Mrs. Ollie Cox
The family cycle and the be-
: ginning family were discussed
, by Mrs. S. H. Stanfield, family
, life leader, when she addressed
the Cottonwood HD Club at the
home of Mrs. K. S. Davison.
I Mrs. Stanfield said that for
| a good family start, it is nec-
tessary to have two people from
! similar backgrounds who have
learned to be happy from child-
hood, who are emotionally ma-
ture, who are able to share com-
mon goals outside of themselves,
who have similar church ideals,
who desire to have children. Ro-
mantic love alone, she pointed
1 out, will r.ot make a happy mar-
| rjage and home.
These points were given as a
Itest of sturdy love: To be able
{to make each other happy, to be
> able to work out differences, to
! think in terms of "we" instead
of "I."' and to feel partners in
I common cause.
Concluding her talk, she told
j of wedding customs in other
countries.
Mrs. B. L. Waggoner presid-
ed for the meeting in the ab-
sence of the president, Mrs. C.
: R. Thomas. Mrs. Billy Cox led
the group in singing. A "green
sale" was held after the regular
