Since my great sorrow fell:
The shock I received that day
I still remember well.
A voice I loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in my home
Which never can be filled.
It is sweet to know we shall meet again
Where parting is no more.
And that the one I loved so dearly
Has only gone before.
My thoughts of you will never fade,
When all the years have flown
Your memory as the brightest star
Will always light my come.
The flowers I place upon your grave
May wither and decay,
But the love for my wife who sleeps be

Will never, never fade away.
With only one last hope I have,
And this I know Is true.
You can never come to me.
But I can come to you.

British Doctors Debate
Necessity of Husbands
•y the Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, England, July 1 —
“Are Husbands Necessary?” was the
subject of a debate yesterday at a
convention of the British Medical
Association.
The doctors were discussing
whether it is a good idea for un
married women to have children, if
they wish.
“No,” Dr. Catherine Evans said,
‘I canont imagine any woman not
wanting a husband. Children should
iiave both a father and a mother."
The dissenting opinion came frm
Dr. Bethel Solomons, who argued:
“I know of many women who
would like to have babies, but don’t
want a man knocking around the
nouse.”
