skeptics at the Auto Show,
those not altogether swept off
their feet by the newest
swept-back models.
But almost to a man, 1t was
a dreamy-eyed crowd when it
came to the gadgets that
were supposed to merely sup
plement the main exhibit.
One of the gadgetS was
nothing less than a complete
automobile - a soupe dup,
razzle-dazzle dreamboat with
a fission-air about it-Ford's

10th CENTURY PROBLEMS
PLAGUE FAIRFAX HUNT
Star stan Photo.

The Fairfax Hunt which looks for foxes in the area
hunted by George Washington carries great
tradition but with plenty of problems courtesy goth
century
For instance with the expansion of the greater Wash
ington Metropolitan into Fairfax County, farms
become smaller and log and stone fences have been replaced
by barbed wire Now it's only through the kindness of local
property that the hunt is able to at ALL
It's job Aeepng trails clear and fixing jumps barbed
wire fences.
The ever-expanding network of highways presents fur
ther hazards to hunters When the hounds rush
highway in the height of early morning traffic riders and
horses cannot follow.
Hydrophobia is still problem-not much among
hounds among the foxes And because of this the
County authorities have offered bountes for foxes
killed in the county.
The Fairfax Hunt Dinner and Ball which will be held
Saturday at the Army Navy Country Club the fun
side of the ledger There's also plenty of hard work and
planning that goes into successful hunt
Master of Fox Hounds of the Fairfax Hunt is Mr..
James O. of Vienna Va and Honorary Whippers-in
are Mr. j. Wade Dorset of Forestve and Mr. c. D. Todd
of Vienna Va.
Other officers include Mr.. Robert D. Graham, presi-

Keep in mind that the bridal
dress you order may take time
to arrive at the store and then
it must be carefully fitted.
There should be time left in

According to Priscilla, most
women shopping for their
bridal dresses come in with
very set ideas of what they
want. and much to their sur
prise wind up with something
quite different.
