"IDO'S" Now Recorded

Grated from an anteroom and no
one is the wiser.
Mr.. Mark Foster, formerly special
events man with station WGAY, has
devised a system whereby the we'd
ding and reception are tied together
neatly, and presented, with neces-
Isary continuity, on one smoothly
running record. The record is intro
duced by an invitation to the we'd
ding, read by Mr.. Foster, followed
by the ceremony in the church.
After that, the scene shifts to the
reception, where a mike behind the
bride and groom picks up the best
wishes of the guests. In one in
stance, Mr.. Foster reports, it also
picked up the considerations OF a
rejected suitor, who explained to the
bride as he passed through the line
that life for him would forevermore
be an intolerable thing, indeed.
The members of the wedding par
ty extend their best wishes, too, and
then ,the parents of the bride and
groom have a chance to record
theirs. The record is wound up as
the couple tell briefly of their court
ship.
A description sheet of the gowns
worn is provided by the bride and
worked into the record. The record
ing itself is done on a plastic tape
by a sound mirror-a magnetic re-
corder. The finished record is an
edited version of the tape. with the
spontaneity preserved, but long
pauses and extraneous noise elimi-
mated. This equipment Is the same

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Today, imagine yourself standing
behind a screen, with only your legs
and feet showing? Do you like
what you see? For a few days this
week why Grow Old?" is analyz-
ing faults in beauty which can be
corrected or improved. Check your
self against the following list:
l. Are your knees too fat?
2. Are your calves too large?
3. Are your ankles slim? Good!
4. Is there as much as four or five
inches difference between your
calves and your ankles? You should
have this.
5. Are your arches strong or
weak? Weakness here can make
you tired all over and will cause an
awkward walk. Exercise is great
medicine!
6. Are your legs we'll groomed OF
does superfluous hair mar their
beauty? This is entirely unneces-
sary today, if you are willing to
take a little trouble.
Are your stocking seams
twisted?
8. Do you toe in or out, when you
walk? If you do either keep this
in mind and practice walking along
a chalk line, placing one foot In
front of the other, and placing the
toes on the line.
9. Are your ankles weak so that
they turn in? Do this exercise
Stand with the toes pointing

of your feet are lifted from the

stay fresh and appetizing. BY using
these bowls the hostess can prepare

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE.
From Mrs. F. B.. Alexandria,
I would like to submit my recipe
for. baked macaroni and cheese in
reply to two recent requests in RICH.
Cook one-half package macaroni
or spaghetti in boiling, salted water,
according to directions on package;
pour into colander and set aside to
drain. In quart mixing bowl, beat
l or 2 eggs slightly, add 4 teaspoon
salt and % cup milk. Add drained
macaroni and blend well. Pour mix
ture into baking dish. Cut u to n
pound cheese into 1-inch cubes.
use about l cup cheese cubes if
poSsible) Press cheese cubes at in
tervals into macaroni mixture Dot
and bake at 375 degrees for 80 to
40 minutes or until set. Covering
casserole during baking prevents
macaroni on top from becoming
hard and dry, but dish may be
uncovered for the last few minutes
of baking if a firmer crust is de-
sired. Serves 4 to 6.
For delicious variations, use
canned cream of mushroom Soup or
cream of chicken soup instead Of
eggs and milk. Mix one can un-
diluted condensed mushroom or
chicken soup with boiled, drained
macaroni. Add salt only If soup
is not salty. A few grains Of black
pepper may be added, then the
cheese cubes. Dot with margarine,
sprinkle with paprika, cover and
bake as directed above. Diced
cooked meat, chicken or tuna may
be added to these recipes, omitting
cheese entirely or reducing amount,
as desired. This makes adelicious
and attractive main dish for lunch
con or dinner. Two tablespoonfuls
of chopped pimento may be added
to any of these recipes to add color
and flavor, If desired.

By the Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 16.-A
paraplegic veteran was reported in
fair condition today after a shoot
ing that climaxed a fist fight from
wheel chairs yesterday at Kennedy
Veterans Hospital.
The wounded man, Richard
Hicks, 81, of Canalou, Mo, was shot
through the left thigh by similarly
paralyzed patient, according to DR..

DR.. Beck identified Hicks assail-
ant as Wallace Rice, %, of Amarillo,
Tex. He said Rice had held a
small .25-caliber automatic against
Hicks head, but the safety catch
was on and the gun wouldn't fire.
DR.. Beck said Rice wheeled his
chair over to a friend. Dow Duck
worth, 20, of Gainesville, Tex. After
Duckworth showed him how to work
the pistol, DR.. Beck said Rice fired
a shot through the floor to make
sure the gun was working and then
shot Hicks.
Both Rice and Duckworth are

Britain Pays 7 Million
ForLend-Lease Stocks
By the Associofed Press

The United States has sold Great
Britain all lend lease military
equipment in British possession in
Western Germany and overseas ter
ritories, the State Department said
last night.
Britain paid $7000,00o, which the
State Department said was more
than the United States could get by
disposing of the material in any
other manner.
This belated transaction is part of
final and conclusive" settlement
of Britain's S14,0O00 100000 wartime
lend-lease account with the United
States.
Government officials said, how
ever, the American government
reserves the right to veto British
sales of these lend-lease stocks to
third countries and to repossess

Hale T. Shenefeld, State Depart
ment lend-lease agent who negoti-
ated the deal, told reporter the
items presumably included are
tanks, artillery. trucks, vehicles
ordnance stock and communica-
tionS equipment.
The text of the agreement, signed
Monday by Secretary of State
Marshall and British Ambassador
Sir Oliver Franks, reveals that the
British have cut their lend-leaSe
settlement bill by S35 100000

The charter leaders plans were

that County Council could not

executive sessions each June, instead
of the legislative month OF May.

Woodward and Stedman Prescott
said, however, that this ruling would
not prevent a referendum if the
invalid provisions were removed.
