COUNTERING DIVORCE
Sydney Registrar-general's Campaign As part of a .campaign against divorce, a room in the Registrar-general’s Department in Sydney has been fitted out and furnished for weddings. It has elaborate lighting, carpets and drapes, cream Venetian blinds, and flowers. The colour scheme includes light pink walls and caramel doors. The registrar-general, Mr T. Wells, said that a lot of people seemed to take lightly a marriage in a registry office. The department wanted surroundings to be pleasant. “We thought that if we started where marriage began, and made everything as pleasant as possible, we could be of some he In in the campaign against divorce,” he added.
