MARRIAGE FORUM
Pre -Marital Sex
Not Essential
To Marriage
By TOMMY DeFRANK
Staff Writer
Dr. Henry Bowman claimed Tuesday that pre-marital
sex is not essential to the realization of a happy and mean
ingful marriag-e.
Bowman told the YMCA Marriage Forum audience that
pre-marital sexual activity offers nothing and provides
serious impediments to marriage in some cases.
“Many young couples say they should find out if they
are compatible before marriage, but if they engage in sex
ual intercourse and the boy finds the girl is uncomfortable,
he doesn’t say, ‘You flunked the test so the engagement
is off.’ A woman can learn to be responsive later.
“When you marry you take each other on confidence.
Pre-martial intercourse is not the answer,” Bowman as
serted.
He listed time, information, a healthy attitude and a
will to succeed as necessary requirements for healthy sex
ual adjustment after marriage.
“Almost any couple with these prerequisites can work
out a successful sexual adjustment,” he emphasized.
Bowman added that people must realize sex becomes
more conspicuous the less successful it is, that it is a
“hook” which people often hang problems, that it is simul
taneously a natural and unnatural process, and that it is
a constant rather than occasional concern.
“Sex is not a separate problem in marriage. If a
couple have a sex problem they have it all the time,” he said.
Bowman further claimed that the degree of responsive
ness of the sexes is different and such difference must be
considered by both to insure compatibility.
“Males respond to stimulation very quickly while fe
males are noticeably slower. Once a man’s climax is
achieved, his responsiveness goes to zero . . . and there is
an overwhelming desire for sleep. However, a woman’s
responsiveness tapers off gradually, and she may remain
in a responsive mood until many hours later.
“If the man yields to sleepiness ... at the time when
the woman wants to be loved, she will feel deserted, and
later she will say that all her husband cares about is his
own pleasure. When she feels used like this, she is no longer
a willing participant,” Bowman stressed.
“If a man yields to sleepiness, he hasn’t missed the
boat; he doesn’t know there is a boat,” he continued.
A nationally - recognized authority on marriage and
family life, Bowman decried the use of marriage manuals
which stress technique and posture.
“The best way to kill romance is to mechanize it.
What should be a free and spontaneous display of affection
and love often becomes an engineering problem. There are
no mechanical substitutes for affection, attention and re
assurance.”
“I have yet to find a couple who wanted to kiss and
didn’t know how to do it. Somehow they find a way and
they don’t need a catalog. It’s the same way after mar
riage,” Bowman said.
He also pointed out that patience and understanding
on the man’s part are, or should be, integral parts of the
honeymoon.
“A girl may be concerned about something of no con r
cern to the average man. She may be worried about bodily
exposure to her husband. She may also be concerned about
witnessing exposure of her husband’s body. She needs
time to adjust, and the more roughshod the man rides
over her sensitivity the rougher it is for her to make the
adjustment,” he explained.
In a question-and-answer session Bowman commented
on the proposal of a recent candidate for office at the Uni
versity of Texas to support free distribution of contracep
tives at the university health center.
“It is very unrealistic to think that a health center
at a state university would do this. It would be like say
ing the health center should distribute free liquor because
many students like to drink,” he commented.

Livestock, Poultry Sale
Fills Youths 9 Hip Pockets
By HAM McQUEEN
More than 100 4-H and FFA
members left the A&M Live
stock Pavilion Tuesday night with
ribbons stuffed in shirt pockets
and checks in their hip pockets.
The money, from sale of ani
mals at the Ninth Brazos County
Youth Livestock and Poultry
Sale, will be used to repay loans
with which feed for the animals
was brought, be put in the bank
for college educations, be used to
finance next year’s livestock pro
ject, and then some will be used
to “just have a good time,” said
one bright eyed boy as he left
the sale ring.
Col. Walter Britten of Bryan
opened the auction with a chant
familiar to livestock buyers in
the area. First animal to be
sold was the grand champion
steer, owned by Jim Welch, 12-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. G. Welch of Jones Bridge Road.
This is the second consecutive
year Jim has shown a grand

There was no contact here with the climbing

LOWNDESVILLE, Ala.—Rain-soaked civil rights
marchers, bound for the Alabama capital, huddled
Tuesday night under tents on a muddy knoll after
plodding 11 miles through heavy showers.
The 300 soggy but spirited marchers camped
within 20 miles of their destination—the white-
domed Capitol in Montgomery. The right-to-vote
trek began Sunday in Selma.
National Guardsmen and Army troops activated
by presidential order ringed the camp of the march
ers for the third night.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., leader of the Ala

WASHINGTON—The White House said Tuesday
that President Johnson was not consulted before
riot-control gases were used in South Viet Nam.
The decision was pictured as a routine one handled
by area commanders.
George E. Reedy, White House press secretary,
said it was not the kind of thing Johnson would
have to approve in advance any more than he would
decide on whether to use certain small-arms ammu
nition.
“For many years, use of this kind of riot-control
weapon has been delegated to area commanders,”
Reedy said.

AUSTIN—Senators approved Gov. John Con-

constitutional amendment that would give state-wide
officials—including the governor—four-year terms,
double the present two years they now hold office.

Other buyers of champion ani

Orrs Super Market, reserve

Following the sale of cham
pions, buyers continued to pay
good prices for the rest of the
livestock.
We like to pay the boys and
girls good prices for their animals
because we know what a good
job they do of raising them. It
encourages them to do a better
job next year, with hopes of get
ting into the real money with a
champion, several of the buyers
said.
Prior to the auction several
other awards were announced.
Judging of these events took
place Monday afternoon and
night, but the results weren’t
made public until Tuesday night.
First was the top commercial
steer award, won by Jimmy Doo
ley. Club members’ animals are
judged then members records of
their project are judged and
finally the members themselves
are given a quiz. Results of
these factors are totaled for the
top commercial steer feeder.
The second award presented
Tuesday night was for showman
ship. It was won by Steven
Jackson, College Station 4-H Club
member. In this event, members
are judged on their appearance
in the show ring, how well they
handle their animal and how
well the animal is fitted and
groomed.
Lloyd Joyce, vice president,
Agricultural Division of the
Bryan-College Station Chamber
of Commerce and general chair
man of the show, said, he was
very satisfied with the show and
sale. He was especially proud
of the youngsters and their ac
complishments at the show.
A word of thanks should be
passed on to the parents of these
youngsters, Joyce added. With
out their untiring help and en
couragement many activities of
this type would be impossible.
For without the youth and their
animals a livestock show is noth
ing he said.
Marshall C. Peters of the City
National Bank was auction sale
chairman. He also passed along
a word of thanks to the business
men of the Bryan-College Station
area for their participation.
Without their support, our annual
sale would be a complete failure,
he said.
As the youngsters were loading
their show equipment, talk was
in the air of animals they plan
ned to buy to fill empty stalls
of those sold Tuesday night.
