HAPPY REUNION —Dr. Paul Popenoe (right), whose column, "Modern Marriage," appears in The Star, looked every inch the proud grandfather as he and Mrs. Popenoe visited their son Oliver (left) and his wife at their home in Silver Spring last week. The MODEL FAMILY Popenoe Clan Gathers Here By FRANCES UDE If the Popenoes felt they were on exhibit as a model happy family, you never would have known It. Not that they didn’t look like a model happy family. It was just that they were so unselfconscious about it. The setting was the Silver Spring home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Popenoe who were enjoying a visit from Oliver’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. Paul Popenoe. Dr. Paul Popenoe, of course, is founder and director of the American Institute of Family Relations in Los Angeles, author of the column, “Modern Marriage,” which appears in The Star, and well known to radio and radio audiences as a frequent participant in Art Linkletter’s daytime network program. It had been a year and a half since the senior Popenoes had visited Oliver, who is with the Office of Defense Mobilization, and his family. Happy Grandmother Mrs. Popenoe’s face was shining as she held her youngest grandson, 3-month-old Jonathan. Two other grandchildren, 5-year-old Janina and 3-year-old Joshua, were in and out of the living room, with Joshua occasionally giving his grandfather a toy to admire. The senior Popenoes' youngest son David, down for the weekend from Philadelphia, where he is a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, and pretty Laura Popenoe, Oliver’s wife, completed the family circle. (The marriage counselor and his wife have two other sons. The oldest, Paul Jr., called Pablo to distinguish him from his father, lives in San Francisco, where he is an electrical engineer. Their third son, John, who holds a position as bar of the world, was not invited.

Maryland, is in Homestead, Fla., with the Department of Agriculture, where he works on tropical fruits. "All of your children are boys," the reporter commented. “That’s right,” Dr. Popenoe said. “It’s not that I have any prejudice against girls, but even a biologist has to take what he can get!” How do people generally react when they learn that the Popenoe boys are the sons of the well-known counselor and writer on marriage problems? Known on Television, “Oh, they are apt to say—’Is that your father I saw on TV?” Oliver reported. “And that’s about it.” Dr. Popenoe chuckled. “Being on television is better than having your picture in the Post Office,” he admitted. “The big difference is that they don’t have your fingerprints on TV.” Mrs. Popenoe says she manages to stay pretty much out of the spotlight. "I’m the silent partner,” she said slyly. “I practice and my husband preaches. That’s a pretty good combination.” She was teaching in a nursery school in New York when they were married in 1920. “I love children,” she said, “and I’ve kept pretty busy with my family.” As the wife of a man whose work includes lecturing all over the country, there were many times while the children were small that she had to solve family problems when he was away. “I would write him special delivery letters and hope that I would get an answer before things blew up,” she laughed. Now that her children are grown, she has more time for the Painting and sculpture for family group includes the Oliver Popenoes' three children, Janina, 5; Joshua, 3, who is being held by his mother, and 3-month-old Jonathan, who seems quite content in the arms of his beaming grandmother.— Star Staff Photo by Walter Oates. which her family says she has a decided talent. Dr. Popenoe, who believes that every homemaker should have an interest outside of the home, encourages her art work. How did he happen to go into the field of marriage counseling? Former Editor Dr. Popenoe said he became interested in social biology when, as a young newspaper man, he took a job in 1913 as editor of the Journal of Heredity, which is published here. Then he became concerned about the growing divorce rate. "I began to realize," he said, "that if we were going to promote a sound population, we would not only have to get the right kind of people married, but we would have to keep them married." In 1930, that conviction led him to establish the American Institute of Family Relations as a nonprofit organization to promote successful marriage and family life. From a one-man operation in its first few weeks it now has a staff of about 100, including 60 counselors and from 20 to 30 "interns." "The institute is by far the largest training center for counselors in the country," he explained. "A large number of them are clergymen, some are teachers and some are training to become professional counselors." One of his pet campaigns is for more education on family relations in the school. Such education doesn’t have to be limited to a single course, he maintains, but should be a part of practically every subject. "Take literature, for instance," he said. "Almost all literature is concerned with love, marriage or parenthood. “King Lear’s is a good study in family disintegration.” Case of Puppy Love “Then there’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’—a beautiful case of puppy love. And what a good example of the mistake a girl makes when she doesn’t confide in her mother! If Juliet had talked things over with her mother, I am sure things would have been worked out and she would have had a happy life, instead of committing suicide.” “A real juvenile delinquent!” Oliver Popenoe spoke up. “It just goes to prove that the younger generation isn’t going to the dogs any more now than it used to.” Any discussion in the Popenoe family is apt to find everybody taking a part— probably one result of “family councils.” But it doesn’t necessarily find the family in agreement. “Our ‘family councils’ have away of ending up on politics,” David noted. “Dad and mother are Republicans, but the rest of us are Democrats.” “And I say, if I were a Democrat, they would be Republicans, just to be contrary,” their father retorted.
