Dorothy Dix Says

her. For to keep such a promise
will mean a lifetime of misery for
both Of you. because there is not a
chance that your fancy for the
young woman would revive If you
married her. On the contrary, she
would get more and more on your
nerves because every time yeu looked
at her you would think what a sap
You were to let her bluff you into
marrying her.
You see, when you boys went into
the war you were just kids. You
weren't capable OF anything but calf
love, and that is the shortest Lived
thing on earth. You had seen
nothing OF the world. And you
thought you had to get married be-
cause all the other boys were doing
it, just as you thought you had to
have the same kind Of clothes and
the same colored neckties that all
the other boys had.
Now you have come back men,
grown men, older than your years
because Of the experiences you have
been through, and you have seen
life and death and known danger
and suffering, whereas the girls you
left behind you are just as they were,
no more interesting, no wiser, with
no new tricks up their sleeves, and
SO they were not enough for you.
Nor are they really in love with
you. They just want to marry to be
a-marrying because they think the
husband supply is short. But you
are under no compulsion to marry
them. Refuse to be held up. You
have had the courage to face the
enemy who were bent on taking your
lives. Have the courage to face the
girls who are also trying to take
your lives. Marriage is for a long
time. and it will seem longer if YOU
are married to Z woman you don't
love.

USES FOR STALE BREAD?

Dear Miss Dix: I am an ex-
serviceman who has just recently
received an honorable discharge
from the Navy. I am writing this
letter not only for myself, but for
80 more of my comrades, for we are
all in the same box.
When we went to war we all had
girls whom We planned on being our
future wives, but now that we are
back we find that we no longer love
them, and they don't seem to be the
same girls. However, they insist
they are in love with us and that we
are in love with them, although we
tell them We are not and they are
urging us to marry them.
All they want to do is just to sit up
and look at us and say. Il love you,"
and I don't care to spoil my life with
woman like that. Many time I
have come right out and told my girl
that I do not care for her, but she
insists that I do. And it is the same
way with the other fellows. What
are we supposed to do when we can't
keep the promises we made to these
girls while we were overseas. We
have all changed a great deal and I
don't think we would be happy if we
did go back to each other again.
What do you advise us chaps to
do who want to go out and have a
little fun with a girl who wouldn't t
Just sit and look at you as if you
were a new pair of nylons? Please
try to put yourself in spot like we
are in
THIRTY ONE OF US FELLOWS.
Answer - Well, son, there are
promises that are better broken than
kept. and the one that should be
shattered into million pieces is the
promise to marry a girl after you
have found out that you have lost
your taste for her and no longer love

The Young Idea
By Laura and Helen

Il haven't thing to wear. I tell
Nou. Not single. solitary thing.
Many's the time we've uttered those
words and many's the time millions
and millions of other teen-agers
have said the same thing. With
warmer days acoming, the question
OF what to wear preys on the minds
Of the lads and laSsies. Now, the
fellas don't have too much trouble
because they merely shed their
heavy sweaters and covert cloth
trousers and in their place don
sport shirts with barrel sweaters and
the time-honored' favorite of all
men-gabardine slacks.
Girls on the other hand, are faced
with many minute problems that
magnify themselves to horrible pro-
portions. Spring housekeeping is
right around the corner. Spring
housecleaning where your wardrobe
Is concerned Is also right around the
corner. So, in order to lessen your
worries concerning your wardrobe
here are some tips Use what you
want and discard the others.
At the start of the year you
started of with the best OF inten-
tions to keep your room and your
bureau drawers neat at all times.
Well. the bed has been made every
day before leaving for school, but,
oh! those bureau drawers! Ever so
confusing when it's nothing more
than handkerchief one is looking
for, and one has to do battle with
scarves. jewelry, packets of letters
and stockings haphazardly tossed
into the same space. o. K, friend
Sue, get going and scout up all the
little and big boxes you can uncover
throughout the house for your socks,
belts and little odds and ends. Look
over your bureau and decide in
which drawer you want your blouses,
which one for purses. We find that
little things like makeup, belts,
gloves, jewelry. socks, and so on, are
more convenient in the top drawer
since they are used more frequently.
If your things look like ours at
the end OF the season quite shah
by, your spring cleaning won't be
finished in day. Next day, try the
closet! This being Washington,
there's just no telling about the
weather. With warmer days due
shortly 1t is wise to Keep some
woolens out. Make sure that the
ones you are putting away are thor
oughly brushed and dry cleaned and
amply supplied with moth balls and
put in a safe place so that no little
insects can have feast on them.
Safest bet for the days to come,
which will be too warm for winter
and wee bit chilly for presummer,
are cardigans. Instead of long
sleeved pull-over, have yourself a
couple of springlike colored cardi-
gans (they button down the front,
you know either long or Short
sleeved. Then, when you warm up,
it's an easy thing to slip the sweater
OF to show that snowy white blouse
oyu have on underneath it. And girls
and fellas, too, sweaters aren't put
on hangers; they should be folded
and put into your bureau drawer.
Let's backtrack to our spring
cleaning again. You simply love
those souvenirs and letters and life
just won't go on unless you keep
them always 1--WE give them a good
two years til bigger and better
things start happening In your life)
and mother goes mad in the mean
time gazing at your cluttered room.
Evening star., 1946-03-22

Go on, be big sport, why don't you
go and buy a scrapbook or lock box
and put everything where it ought
to be?
Lately, MONS been looking aw-
fully tired. She doesn't say so but
the spring houSecleaning that S
coming up is going to be lot Of
work for her You can help her in
many small WAYS. Take those
blouses OF yours that have needed
buttons for ever so long and which
YOU have been keeping together with
the aid Of that oldtime favorite-
the safetypin. Put all Of them in
a pile on your bed, SO that you can't
go to sleep until you Ak them. And
no sneaking them back into the
draWer-unmended

FUSSY EATER

fFron, Mrs. w. A. H.. Washington }
For Mrs. D. O., Indian Head
Md. My grandson also refused to
eat any of the prepared baby vege-
tables. The pediatrician told his
mother to feed him the vegetables
cooked for the family. He ate
them heartily and at IL months was
eating nearly everything the family
ate.
(From Mrs. r. w. D., Arlington.)
To Mrs. D. O., Indian Head, Md
I'm wondering if you ever tasted
that canned stuff they call baby
food. After my first child refused
1t several times, I decided to find
out why. I had much better luck
after l started preparing my own
vegetables. Cook them and season
them to your own taste and then
put them through a sieve. 1t isn't
hard or much trouble to prepare
enough for three or four servings
and store them in the refrigerator
I recommend seasoning them as
you heat them for serving.
Id like to send a note along to
the lady who was having trouble
with her dust mop not picking up
dust. If she will put a little oil
In the last rinse water when she
washes her dust mop. I believe she
will have better results.

If a mere males idea of real

here is the recipe my wife and I

and is hotter than the usually in
sipid dish served in local cafes.
Seasoning for four servings: = tea
spoon each, ground cloves, CHINA
mon and ginger, dash of red pepper,
pinch of thyme, IL to 2 teaspoons
OF sugar. This results in the rich,
red-brown and palatable spaghetti
you want.

National Guard Unit

This newspaper is elated over the fact
that National Guard unit will be estab
lished in Ashe county and that its benefits
can be enjoyed by Allegheny and Watau-
ga counties as we'll as Ashe.
The value of the National Guard to the
community, state and nation in past years
is record that is we'll known Its value
to community and section is threefold.
First, it provides orderly training IN dis
clpllne of young men; second, the National
Guard unit provides greatest protection to
homes, property and business and third is
the financial benefit to be derived
The National Guard is worth a great
deal in times of peace and in times of dis
tresS 1t IS most essential to our nation.
This was clearly proven during the prep
aration period in particular during the last
two world wars
The unit that has been allocated to Ashe
county will be located at jefferson and
will be Service Battery with minimum
strength of 80 men and 2 officers and a
maximum strength of SIS men and Off
GERS.
The federal government pays officers
and men for one drill each week and dur
ing field training The training is super
vised by officers of the regular army. Field
training will be held annually in summer
camps. Uniforms and full equipment is
provided.
An armory building is necessary and in
time it is hoped that the government will
erect an armory for the unit at Jefferson
The Ashe county post number III of
the American Legion is largely response
BILE for having obtained this ALLEGATION and
the members of this post are to be highly
commended

in the establishment of this National Guard

pleases and to vote as he pleases.
We have just finished fighting second
world war to protect these rights for our
selves and for the world. Had we not won,
the hanging would have been done in
America instead of in Germany and we
would have lost all of our individual rights
and privileges.
To retain this system of government in
this great land of the free and home of the
brave, every citizen must take keen in
terest in public affairs and in government,
especially in the selection of our public
officials.
1t is, therefore, the sacred duty of every
citizen to go to the polls on election day
and vote for the party and candidates of
his or her choice. Every citizen should
do this without being urged to do so by
others and should vote according to his or
her convictions without influence
Selling ones vote is like selling birth
right. 1t should not be done and neglect
OF voting is carelessness that should almost
deprive citizen of the rights and priv
ileges that he or she enjoys
Next Tuesday is the first peacetime
election since 1941 and every citizen men
and women, who are twenty-one years CT
age and older should show their appre-
citation for the honor of having been born
an American citizen, and should show
their interest in government by going tc
the polls and voting.
Don't wait for someone to come and
get you. Go and vote next Tuesday!
1t is of uttermost Importance to elect
the best men to congress, to the state leg
islature and to our county offices.
Don't leave the voting to Others 1t is
your duty as well as theirs Vote mex.
Tuesday!

Turkish Tobacco

We are not surprised to learn that the
experimental production of Turkish to-
bacco in this section this year is even more
successful than it was last season and we
are convinced that as result of these
experiments by the State Extension Serv-
ice the farmers of Northwestern North
Carolina and the nation will start raising
another fine money crop.
The major portion of the experimental
work is being carried on in AShe and Allie
ghany, where there are "a different farms
participating
The tobacco raised this year is excep-
tionally good in quality and the yield is bet
ter than was expected. Much of the credit
for this success is due to Mr.. John S.
Wilkins, agronomist of the extension serv-
ice who is in charge of this significant
project.
1t is significant that the famous Sc
quota Irish potato was originated and de-
veloped in Ashe county and that It has
proven to be the best potato for produc-
ton throughout this region and in other
sections of the state and nation.
These two successful experiments sh w
clearly that this section, once known as
the 'lost province" is really one of the
richest and best farming areas in the ma
ton. Almost anything in great abundance
can be raised in our fertile valleys where
the soil is extremely rich and the climate
is not too hot and the rainfall is good
