WIFE LOSES DIVORCE
BATTLE AFTER
FOUR YEARS
A four-year-long legal battle over a divorce decree was finally ended in London last month in the chamber of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest tribunal of the Empire.
The story starts in 1931. A Canadian judge granted a decrco against Mrs. Cora Lillian McPherson, wife of Mr. Oran Leo McPherson, then Minister of Public Works for Alberta: The suit was heard in the judges' law library at Edmonton, Alberta.
-After the decree had been made absoluto, Mr. McPherson married Mrs. Mattern, wife of Mr. Leroy Mattern, whom he had cited as co-respondent. Mrs. Mattern had divorced Mr. Mattern on the ground of his misconduct with Mrs. McPherson.
After Mr. McPherson's remarriage, Mrs. McPherson, pleading| that her husband's suit had not been heard in open court, appealed to the Supreme Court of Alberta !

There was no way to correct this tendency more effectively, Lord Blancsburgh said, than to require that the trial of these cases should always tako place, in the fullest sense, in open court.
The Committee were, however, of opinion that the deeree in ques tion was voldable only, and not roid; and that the time for voiding it had long gone by..
They were dealing with a decree pronounced after a serious trial, free from every defect in procedure. To say that such a decree was vold would seem to be out of the ques- tion:..

SALESMAN SAM
Dr. Martin pointed out that "mo- ment" as used in connection with a psychological reaction in current speech is made in reference to the most suitable time for a happening. "Actually the psychological mo- ment refers to the force that cer tain Ideas have through their im- portance in relation to other mat- ters of interest," he said. "In this case moment is' drive or weight, and not a modicum of time. In popular speech the confusion of the words is really a form of pun,
"Often a salesman makes numer ous calls and is backed by a big advertising campaign and when at inst he makes the sale, attributes it to seeing the client at the right psychological moment.
Cumulativo Effect
"In reality this is purely the backing up of the effects of his calls, so that each subsequent rall enjoya the accumulation of im- pressions made.
"The perseverance of the sales- mau wears away all resistance," added Dr. Martin.
Dr. Martin added that psychologi- cal moment was mostly a matter of conscience.
