NEW YORK, (GlobaD-
Dear Miss Ball:
I'm really upset over my love
affair. Fred and 1 are engaged. He
wants to marry Immediately, but I
have just started working and am
not ready. Then, too, I'm hoping
for better job in another state.
He says I should make up my mind
about us, and that he does not irl-
tend to fool around. Two months
ago, he went to tea dance while
I was working, and met girl who
is rushing him to marry. He keeps
calling me and talking about her.
Should marry Fred even though
I'm not ready?
Sallie, Ohio
Dear Sallie:
Somewhere along the line it has
been said: Don't marry until you
feel you can't live without it." Do
you feel that way? It may be that
in many ways you're just not ready
for marriage. Or, it could be that
you do not actually love Fred.
Whatever the reason, do not marry
just to be getting married-it is a
. complicated business from which
escape is. hard.
This new girl in Fred's life is
stiff competition. A mans makeup
where love is concerned, allows
him choice of girls. He probably
wants you, but can also be happy
or adjust to another.
You must make up your mind. Is
your job more important than
Fred? 1t should not be if you are
really in love with him. If you do
love him, and he wants to marry
now, then do So The job will take
care of itself later. If you don't
love him, frankly and promptly in
form him. That is the fair way of
handling your affair.

Variety, more wearability, light
er materials, and washability are
bywords for the new fall corduroys
and velveteens, reports Helen
Church, extension clothing special
ist at the University of Arizona.
A perfect twin ror the popular
winter cotton fabrics, these new
materials are tops for chifdren's
clothing and sportSwear. And, the
stunning colors and prints should
give you lots of ideas for smart
evening wear
Look at the label for washing
directions And, check the back of
the fabric closely. A diagonal or
twill weave holds the pile tighter
than a plain weave. This gives the
fabric longer wear. See if the fab
ric is vat dyed-one of the most
permanent dyes. The label will tell.
You can gather the new cordu-
roys or velveteens in soft folds
when sewing as they are lighter
than the old fabrics. Try to pick
patterns with few seams and very
little top stitching. And, when cut
ting the material, make sure the
nap runs the same way on all
pieces. If the nap goes up on one
and down on another you get two
different color effects.
Rub your hand up and down the
piece OF material to tell which
way the nap goes. Cut the fabric
with the nap going down unless you
want highlights on the fabric.
Then, cut it with the nap going up.
The new prints and patterns in
Velveteen and corduroy can add va
riety to your wardrobe and are
less apt to soil quickly. They wear
just as well as the plain fabrics. =

Labor Day
10th Gaithersburg
Parade Sets Record
Despite 81 Heat,

To the delight of more than
10000 spectators, Gaithersburg
maintained its Labor Day parade
record of 16 years standing with
sunny skies and broke all pre-
vious attendance records as
scores of musical and marching
units turned out for the event
sponsored by the Gaithersburg-
Washington Grove Fire Depart
ment.
Firemen marching and riding
equipment that seemed polished
and loaded for any emergency
were unable to do anything about
the 97-degree heat which set a
new Labor Day high for the area
but local refreshment sources
proved equal to the task and
kept the crowd in good humor
during the three-hour long pa
rade.
Political leaders of both the
States parties headed by Gov
Theodore r. McKeldin were
among the crowds that witnessed
both the parade and the firemen's
contests that followed on the
grounds of the elementary school.
Up-County fire departments
were well represented in the pa
rade and contests, although they
captured top honors in just one
of the ID categories of competi-
ton.
The Damascus company won
first place in the contest for the
best appearing pumper of over
500 gallon capacity followed by
Silver Spring.
Other County companies that
took prizes included:
Silver Spring for the best ap-
pearing rescue truck; kenSington
for the company with the most
men - line and the fastest hook
up.

With a record first day of en-

gomery County school officials
this week were holding their col.
lective breaths while waiting to
see if late enrolment would reach
totals which might call for addi-

On TueSday-the opening day

school officials pointed to the

Wednesday that he is already be-

Mr.. Knight declined to give
totals for individual schools on
the grounds that the first day en-

be drastically changed as pupils
