pleted two games while Hans Ber-
liner adjourned one. The de-
Tending champion drew the black
side of a Ruy Lopez against Ed
mund Nash, vigorously counter
attacking on the queens side after
losing q pawn and obtaining q
repetition Of moves, and won from
Theodore Bullockus. who employed
his favorite Orangoutan opening
but once more confined his ma
neuyers to the queens side. Ber-
liner has an adjourned endgame
with L. Russell Chauvenet In
which each side has four pawns
and on its outcome the relative
position Of the two leaders de-
pends.
Edmund Nash and Henri P
Reyss both won and lost during
the week. Nash defeated Reyss
after "a moves in a close ending
in which he had bishop against
knight and was pawn ahead
but lost TO Martin c. Stark in a
hard fought and interesting strug-
gle, the score OF which is pub
lished today. Reyss scored
against George 6. Thomas after
being quite outplayed in a SlaV
defense. Thomas was two pawns
ahead and might have effected 9
winning break through on the
queens side, but instead made
three bad moves In succession and
collapsed.
Morton L. Seidelman scored his
first point In the tourney by de-
feating Gerald Gross in an ex-
ceedingly wild French defense. in
which CROSS king was in the
center Of the board most Of the
game. The leaders: Berliner, 81:
Shapiro, 5h-1h: Stark. 5-2:
Chauvenet. a.; Reyss. 4z-2h;
Nash. 4-3.

Teen Girl FIys To Paris
To Pick Youth Fashions

Something new and novel is TAX
ing place in fashions for the teen
girl in America. Look magazine
started the fuss. And it's paying
off handsomely for the retailers in
America who have tied-in with the
idea.
Look took a 15-year-Old New
England girl and flew her to Paris.
There she saw the originals of a
famous fashion designer who
designed the teen fashions with
this delightful teen girl before him.
He watched her walk, talk, twist
and twirl. And he designed teen
fashions that are simply out of
this world, as the teen girls say.
The fashion house of JUNIOR
First picked up these Paris designs
and copied them for American
girls. Here on the Shore Jay
Phelps of Seaford is featuring
them. Designed in the American
tempo, teen girls are already
scurrying to stores all over the
country to pick their favOrites out
Of the six delightful designs.
In these teen fashions there are
numbers for play, for school, for
parties and for formal wear.
They're an outstanding contribu-
tion to the American fashion scene
especially for the teen.

NEW CENTURY CLUB

American Citizenship was the
subject of the talk given on Mon
day before the members of the
Milford New Century Club by Ra-
mon CObbs, superintendent of Mil
ford Schools. Well qualified to
know the requirements for good
citizenship Mr.. CObbs began his
talk by saying there were about
thirty million boys and girls of
school age and one million of which
would spend their lives in mentally
institutions. The atomic energy,
developed by man could wipe out
One-fOurth of the citiZenry of this
country by one bomb, said Mr..
CObbs. One marriage out Of every
five ends in the divorce courts, con-
tinued the speaker. He named mo-
vie hazards, lack of a normal cur
few hour for students, and a few
other contributing things that
we're causes for concern in the
present day. Citizenship begins at
birth, said Mr.. CObbs and some of
the first reactions were the results
of contacts with people and the
behavior pattern begins. Not plac-'
ing the blame for the maladjusted
on home, nor family life, nor the
church. nor localities, but giving
many helpful suggestions and their
reasons, the talk ended in a ques-
ton and answer period. Present to
add to the program, as presented
by Mrs. Philip Jacobs, was a saxa-
phone quartette composed Of Harry
Humes, Bob Gibson, Charles Gov
erdale and Barbara Wilson, which
played two selections. Mrs. Harold
DeGraw was elected to membership
during the afternoon.

evan, chairman of art, will pre-
sent a program on Local Color"
Local artists and school pupils
have been invited to exhibit some
work and the fine arts will have
a part in the afternoon. Some poet
ry, some music, some unusual
things. Tea and the sOcialbility of
such an affair will be a part of
the program.
A forecast of things to come will
include an address the following
Monday by the noted columnist and
writer, Edward Ansel MOwrer and
