FAMILY
Today most people live in small nuclear families, and many wives work outside the home. This situation
has led to the “latchkey kid” phenomenon. After school, children go home to an empty house, with both
parents gone. It is feared that kids with career moms are lonelier than those from large families, and that
they have more trouble adapting to society. On the other hand, latchkey kids do not necessarily become
problem children, if their parents spend time with them whenever possible. The solution seems to be
love and adequate discipline. If parents are good role models, and perform their parental responsibilities
well, most of the time their children grow up to be conscientious adults no matter what their family
structure.

LONGEST MARRIED COUPLE CELEBRATE 77 YEARS OF MARRIAGE
Fred and Olive Hodges, who have been married for 77 years in April, are about to enter the Guinness
Book of Records as the UK’s longest married couple. The couple first met in 1915, then were separated
by the First World War. They met again in 1919 and fell in love. They got engaged and married – but
only after 6 years, when they had saved £600 to buy their first house.
The couple, who are both 102, met in their teens as they skated on a frozen river in Northampton in
1915. Fred had left school at 15 and started work for the local gas company; Olive had left at 14 and
worked in a leather factory
“I wasn’t really interested at the time, I just wanted to have fun on the ice”, said Olive. “Fred came up
behind me and knocked me down. He told me years later that he did it because he wanted to pick me
up.”
But three years later when he was 18, Fred joined the army and was soon fighting in France. Many of
his comrades were killed. Fred published a book of his memories, Men of 18 in 1918, in 1988. In his
book he described how a sudden silence signaled that war was over. “Now I knew I was going to have
a life after all.”
Back home in Northampton, Fred renewed his friendship with Olive. The couple had a six – year
engagement before their marriage. They had two children, John and Brenda. Fred became chief cashier
at the gas company. Olive stayed at home while the children grew up. The couple now have 11
grandchildren – the latest just two years old. Two years ago, they had to leave their own home because
of Fred’s poor health. They now live together in an old people’s home in Wellsborough, Leicestershire.
“We have lots of lovely memories but the birth of our two children is the most special”, said Olive. And
the best decade for me was when Fred retired in the 1960s. His retirement just meant we could spend
more time together; I love Fred so much. I don’t know what I would do without him.
