Hecht's Silver Spring
Store Opened With
Elaborate Ceremony

In an atmosphere reminiscent OF
a Hollywood premiere, the new
$2,500,000 Hecht Co. department
store opened yesterday in Silver
Spring.
Before the store opened its doors,
Gov. Lane, Montgomery County Of
ficials and company representatives
addressed a crowd of approximately
500 persons inside the building.
Surrounded by radio microphones,
television cameras and photog-
raphers, the speakers were unani-
NOUS in predicting rosy future
for the new store.
The ceremonies were broadcast
over Station WGAY and televised
by Station WNRW.
Lane Congratulates Company.
In his talk, Gov. Lane congratu-
lated the company on its rare good
judgment in locating the store in
Silver Spring.
"I believe that in erecting this
store to serve the community of
Silver Spring and adjoining areas,
the Hecht Co. has indicated its
faith in the future Of Silver Spring
and in the future of Maryland" the
Governor declared.
Other speakers included Joseph
R. Byrnes, Baltimore, president of
the Maryland State Senate; Brooke
Johns, president of the Montgomery
County Board of Commissioners;
Samuel M. Hecht, president of the
company, and Charles B. Dulcan,
ST., vice president and general man
ager
Mr.. Johns. in discussing the reve-
nue. to be derived by the county as
a result of the new store, told Hecht
Co. officials that you gentlemen are
godsend to the county commits
sioners."
After the talks, county officials
said they estimated approximately
100000 will be received annually in
taxes from the store.
The ceremonies were climaXed
when Alexander Hecht, vice chair

man of the Board of Directors and
founder Of the company, cut the
ribbon at the Fenton street entrance
to the store. He received the scis-
sors from Santa Claus, impersonated
by c. A. Heiss, 10 w street NV.
After the ribbon was cut, hun
dreds of persons swarmed inside to
the accompaniment of music by the
Montgomery Blair High School
band.
Approximately 80 county police
mem were stationed throughout the
area to keep traffic moving and
nearby parking spaces were soon
filled. The huge lot in the rear of
the Silver Spring Armory was
pressed into service as a parking lot
but it. too, was soon packed with
cars.
The three and one half story
building, located at Ellsworth drive
and Fenton street, has no windows
except those on the ground floor
used for display purposes.

Tactful Handling.
Sometimes after years of mar
riage this sense of SNUG superior
ity breaks out in a wife. "Why not
have that gray paper in the halls?"
the husband suggests. because it
would be perfectly ridiculous,
DEAR" says the wife. "Why would it
be ridiculous? Wasn't our old
room at home that way?" "Our
old room was simply hideous," the
wife returned smoothly, land ev-
eryone knows you have no taste,
darling"
One wife I know merely smiles
and listens when her husband holds
forth at breakfast about something
he likes or doesn't like in domes-
tic matters. She smiles, listens with
family raised eyebrows, and very
Slightly shakes her head, for the
benefit of her daughters.
Just as soon as he goes," her
expression tells them, "we'n fix it

Very few men, no matter how
abrupt or absent-minded or alb

sort of arrogant rudeness. Instead
there appears to be a general i'm
preston that Mommy does know
best about things. So some of them
ALLEVIATE their own families, give up
old friends and comfortable habits,
pay uncomplainingly for furniture

for long years and years. But
there comes a breaking point, and
wives might as well be on the watch
not to reach it. To try to change a
man is usually to lose him entirely.

MAKING HIM OVER

Women bave tried many, many
times to reform their husbands,
to make them oper," but it has
rarely been successful. Men cling
stnbbornly to their nays, resistant
to Appeals and bressares. This is
especially true in regards to per-
sonal habits, likes and dislikes.
Sometimes, tUbere man realizes
in bis heart that be IS at fault, be

Violin of Earlier Times

During the 18th and 18th centu-

lily had sympathetic strings of fine

ically, producing silvery echo,

TON'T marry a man with
the idea that it will be

never works; they don't change.
They may develop qualities and
tastes that surprise you - you
may find the man you thought
stay-at-home likes to 60 out ev-
cry night, or that the man you
thought a night club favorite
never wants to leave his own
fireside. Such surprises as that
are the very commonplace of
marriage.
But not changes. The jealous
sweetheart will continue to be jeal-
Gus, the lazy man who is always
changing jobs will 60 on shifting, the
lad who drinks too much and gam
bles away his money will 60 right
on drinking and gambling.
The other day had talk with a
bride-to-be. It struck me as ex-
tremely ominous, and I've been Won
dering ever since if the promised
husband has any idea of the train
ing in store for him. All the condi-
tons of their marriage seem to be
ideal, good social standing, old fam
lily friendships, comfortable income
and a most attractive apartment
ready and waiting. But the brides
attitude is not so promising.
She was buying gloves, with one
of her bridesmaids as companion,
and chartered quite freely of her
plans.
Tom, it seems, has to make bust
ness trips to New York now and
then and likes to make them by
plane, but Sharon has stopped that.
"I'm deathly afraid of planes" she
explained, land I put my foot
down."
Don't Let Precedents Start
1t also appeared that she had been
quite frank about Toms mother.
Tom wanted to stop off at Santa
Barbara and see his mother, on his
honeymoon trip to Mexico; Sharon
said no. "Once you start that sort
of thing it establishes a precedent"
she told me. Duck shooting was men,
toned; Tom is a famous shot. II
think that young mans duck hunt
ing days are over" Sharon muir
INJURED confidently, cycling a beauti-
full glove on her beautiful hand.
"He's going to be the best
trained husband in town." she said
happily. Ellis friends won't know
him. asked to see his checkbook
the other day, and the young man
had to explain quite few details
to me. Don't you think" she ap-
pealed to me, that the time to
train them is in the very begin
ning?"
I was too stunned to reply. If she
had been talking of an airdale pup
py it might have been ineligible,
but Tom is six feet of husky, vital,
assertive human being, with a fine
mind, a fine education and a fine
war record. She paid for her gloves
and went her happy way, and I
went mine with a feeling of intense
pity for Tom.
There are ways, of course, in
which wives can exert influence; the
little ways of neatness and consider
alton and promptness and thrift. But
those occasions when suggestions
are in order come only now and
then, and should be handled ma
turally, with affection and tact. Men
change, and women do too, in a
happy marriage, but they change
without knowing it, the miracle of
growing trust and companionship
and improvement is never visible,
and certainly never cut-and-dried
before ever the marriage takes
place.
So have great fears for the mar
riage Of Sharon and Tom, and feel
reasonably sure that he will grow

contention that tax reduction is nee

investment and increasing consum-

profits are high, plant expenditures
higher. 1t gives little credence to
depression talk; rather, it shows
