Christmas Divorces OK

Divorce Moratorium For Christmas Week is ‘No Go’ for Waco

It is thumbs down on the Christmas divorce moratorium for McLennan county. Judge D.W. Bartlett, asked if he wanted to join judges in several other cities in refusing to grant divorces during Christmas, said he didn’t.

“Somebody,” he said, “who has been trying to get a divorce for a long time, and is planning to get married again, might come in and want the final papers. And,” he went on, “I wouldn’t want to stand in the way of progress.”

So that apparently ends the matter.
