DEVELOPMENT OF FOOD
INDUSTRIES IS TOLD

The story of how the nations
foods are grown and harvested and
sealed in all their freshness was
told to 200 representatives of the
Red & White stores at the Hotel
Winthrop Monday evening.
Carlton F. Sturdy, a representa-
tive of the American Can company,
presented the most interesting de-
scription of the growth and devel-
opment of the great food industries
of today. Beginning with the Gull
tivation of the perfect seed and the
great research work sponsored by
the industry, Sturdy described the
fascinating story of the nations
harvests from the garden to the
finished products in the store; how
machinery uncanny beyond belief
does the work without the touch
of human hands; how foods just
few minutes from the garden are
prepared and sealed in all their
goodness in the twinkling of an
eye.
The tin can" Sturdy explained
is not made of tin but of the finest
pure steel and is turned out by
magic machines at the rate of 1925
per minute.

tening to the radio and seeing mo-
ton pictures. we have little choice
in the matter Of liking" people.
These tastes provide the back
ground for the attraction of young
men and women. Lovers are de-
lighted in each others company
as much because Of companion
ship as because Of the sheer pull
ing force of sex. And companion
ship is based on mutually attrac-
tive personality.
In courtship and in the mar
riage relation there is a strong
craving for the presence of some
one who fulfills all the require
ments of personality we have buS.
up thru years of childhood con-
ditioning.
One of the conditioning factors
OF the future will be the study
OF marriage and mating in schools.
Already, universities are conduct
ing domestic relations courses, and
the tendency is toward installation
of such courses in high school
This should be a practical step in
teaching young people to find and
admire the best manageable
qualities in others.

Altho the average educated girl

health, with judgment, courage,
patience and sense of humor,
it is obvious that in modern life
We cannot make an impersonal
and thoro search for all these
qualities.
In general. mating is a matter
Of personality. We make friends
with people because We like"
them and not because they fulfill
an abstract set OF ideals. After
we like" them we are likely to
think we find evidence in them
Of the possession of all the de-
sirable qualities we seek. This
process of rationalizing is as near
as most of us get to finding an

Obviously, the only chance we
have of regulating the kind of

More X-rays were taken, new
treatments tried. There were days
of hope and days of black despair.
At last Larry was dismissed
from the hospital.
He had been walking for a
month with a hating limp which
improved not at all.
There was no further reason for
him TO remain in the hospital.
Pink took him home and from
there Larry reported to Kay.
He asked for Brenda, but she
was at the studio.

studio late on Saturday afternoon,

After An Engagement
Is Announced

Dear Mrs. Post: We understand
that the parents Of the man are
supposed to pay visit on their
sons new fiancee and her family.
But If the mans family makes
no move, is there anything we
can do? We would like to meet
them before the wedding. I really
feel that they do not know it is
up to them to make the first
overtures and that they may be
waiting for us.
Answer: The mans family is
supposed to call on his fiancee and
her family and invite the fiancee
TO tea, or dinner, or even to a
party they are giving in her
honor. Whether they invite her
family for any definite time is a
question of sonal situation
rather than rule. AS to the
second part of your question. it
is very possible, since few people
know this particular detail of
etiquette. 1t would be entirely
proper that the girls mother write
to the mans mother and ask her
to come in to tea and say that
she would like to meet her and to
talk over the wedding list with
her. In other words, it would be
better for the girls mother to
invite the mans mother to her
house than to 60 to see her.
But again, no one should criticize
the girls mother should she go to
see the other mother first, since
as I have already said, compare
lively few people know this con-
vention.

BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: l am a clergy

She will Of course become a men,
Der Of my church after we are
married. Meanwhile the invita-
lions to our wedding are of chief
concern to both Of us. feel that
my entire congregation should be
invited to my wedding in her
church, and she in turn feels that
all the members Of her church
should be invited too. The list
Of names to receive engraved in
vitstions adds up to figure that
is almost prohibitive because OF
the expense. VIII you tell us il
people could be invited in a more
general way.
Answer: Under circumstances
such as you describe, it would be
entirely proper to issue the invi-
tations yourself in your own
church, to all members OF your
congregation, and to have the
same invitation given in your
fiancee's church by her clergyman.
II there is one, 1t would be possible
to print this invitation in the
church calendar instead of giving
it verbally from the pulpit. En-
graved invitations of any kind will
not even be necessary if, in addi-
ton to these general invitations,
your fiancee also invites very init
mate friends and nearest relatives
verbally to a small reception or
breakfast. or whatever you are
having after the ceremony. If you
limit this reception list to the
most intimate circle no others
can possibly feel hurt because
not invited.
