the groom, and his attendants,
assembled to the altar and took
their respective position there.
AS the bride reached the
front altar steps, the groom
met his bride, given him by the
father. The tones of the or
gan accompanied Mr.. Paul
Thomsa as he sang "A We'd
ding Hymn" to the tune of II
Love You Truly, the words of
which gave the ceremony an
added spiritual meaning.
Jesus, stand beside them
On this day of days,
That in happy wedlock
They may live always;
Join their hands together
And their hearts make one;
Guard the troth now plighted
And the life begun.

stomach twice a week. An epi-
leptic found it almost impossible
to find employment as he was a
danger to himself and others. To-
day this is all changed. A PAM
phlet published by the National
Association to Control Epilepsy,
% East Sixty seventh street, New
York, N. Y, written by Hans Hoff,
M. D., and Helen Clarke, M. A., is
will My Child Have Epilepsy?"
Thirty years ago if this question
had been, put to physician ne
would have been very guarded in
his reply. Today the physician
can give a more encouraging reply
than ever before.
Epilepsy is a disorder of func-
ton of the brain in which there
is altered or complete loss of con-
sciousness accompanied by mus
cular movements. There need
not be violent contortions of the
body with a final fall to the floor
or pavement. The muscular
movements may consist of merely
tWitching the eyelids, or slight un-
controlled jerking of an arm or
leg. The so-called seizure may
even consist of momentary loss
of contact with surroundings, not
apparent to the casual observer.
The brain sends out electric waves
in an orderly, regular manner, but
in the epileptic this regularity of
the brain is interrupted and epi-
leptic seizures result. It is be-
lieved that these interruptions are
due to sudden chemical imbalance
in the brain.

Demand for DPS
Moy Exceed Supply
Party Group Told
By Ruth Deem

The displaced persons program
has passed from its early humani-
tartan phase to a recruitment pro-
gram, Ugo Cartlsi, chairman Of the
Displaced Persons Commission, re-
vealed yesterday at meeting of
the Legislative Committee Of the
Woman's National Democratic
Club.
For that reason, the demand
now promises to exceed the sup
ply" the speaker declared. In
tact. the only criticism the COM
mission now receives is that it is
not getting displaced workers over
here fast enough"
Mr.. CaruSi pointed out how the
present reaction contrasts with
the old attitude of suspicion toward
foreigners" coming into the
country, and added that in many
instances 1t is the old stock hmeri-
! can who is now sending in his
application for displaced person
labor.
These people possess skills we
don't train our children for" Mr..
Carusi asserted, naming among
the occupations in which we are
shorthanded. tailoring. stone ma
sonry. farming. mining, lumber
ing and domestic help. Unless
we can get workers in these fields.
we're going to be in a bad way"
MIR. Carusi corrected some gen.
eral erroneous impressions Of the
displaced persons program. "A lot
|. Of people think most of the DPS
are Jewish" he said. where as the
percentage coming here is dwin-
ding all the time due to their
preference to 60 to Israel" A
very large number Of the DPS COM
Ing here now are Catholic Poles
and Lithuanians, he explained.
Correcting another wrong i'm
preston, Mr.. Carusi explained the
danger of getting Communists
among the DPS is very small due
to the thorough screening process
employed by the International
Refugee Organization. IF a Com
munist tried to get into the United
States, I wouldn't advise him to
come in under the DIP program.
He'd probably stand a better
chance just coming in as an ordi-
nary immigrant" declared Mr..
Carusi, who is also former Com
missioner for immigration and
Naturalization. He explained that
the exhaustive character screen
ing process for the DIP is
not applicable to the ordinary i'm
migrant.
Mr.. Carusi pointed out that.
considering the natural barriers of
language and custom. maladjust-
ments among the displaced per-
sons are few. "Once in awhile we
find q case like the shoemaker
who was sent here to be farmer,
but the situation is quickly ad-
tusted," he said.
Since the United States entered
the IRO program later than Great
Britain, Canada and Australia,
most of the unskilled DIP labor
went to those countries. leaving
the United States with the higher
educated DIP family groups. Mr..
Carusi explained. He added that
It Is a matter of opinion whether
this country got the better part of
the bargain, but that in his opin-
ion the family groups make po-
tentially more stable and there
fore better citizen material.

was watching the men around me
and I'm sure from their looks
that at least half OF them were
letting their wives buy their col
lars.
The separate collar has become
rarity. but the tendency OF
wives to want to buy their hus-
bands clothes is not yet extinct.

month. wants to be prepared. My
mother often came home from a

although he never complained
he wasn't the complaining kind.
But ! certainly don't want my
wife to start anything Of that kind
in our home. Should I warn her
about 1t in advance?"
Yes, but indirectly. Mr.. N. You
might tell her about your fathers
experience and then add. I'm
glad you're not the kind that will
want to pick out your husbands
clothes without his knowledge"
