There will be many types of the
new wash and wear styles. Cooler
fabrics and the new silk cOmbina-
ton fabrics will be highlights of
the collection. There will be local
men and boys modelling street,
sport and casual clothes.
AS a feature of unusual inter-
est, Mr.. Derrickson has secured a
collection of Fashions of the Flu
ture" to be modelled by local men.
Mr.. Derrickson recently attended
convention of Mems Retail
Clothing Merchants. At the con-
vention, the International Associ-
alton OF Clothing Designers pre-
sented a group of Imaginative
Future Designs" to stimulate
change in mems clothing. Think
ing that these models would be of
great value to the Fashion Show,
he arranged to have these Future
Fashions" in Milford on the night
of the ninth of May. There are
some novel and startling models
in this collection that will be well
worth seeing. 1t will give US all
a preview of what our men may
be wearing five or ten years from
now-maybe even next year!
All in all, the Fashion Show
should be of real interest to every
member of the family. 1t will give
us an opportunity to see the fine
clothes that are available in our
community-modeled by local men
and women, boys and girls.
To provide well rounded eve
ning's entertainment, there will be
a news reel, cartoon and feature
picture-a Ginger Rogers film
never before shown in Milford.
The evenings entertainment will
begin at 7:30 o'clock and the Fash
ion Show will probably be shown

compete on an even footing. There
will be four separate parts to the
course and it is expected that each
car will have an opportunity to
run at least twice. Each car must
pass a mechanical safety inspec-
ton and classification.
Competition has been planned
similar to that of the October
Gymkhana, which attracted some
so cars and took place in three
steps with one car at time in each
step: First, entrants had to nego-
tiate a maze course laid out using
rubber pyions, with time penalties
imposed for disturbing a pyion;
second, entrants had to wind up q
rope by driving around a drum
with time penalties for letting the
rope touch the ground, and third
by moving first forward then back
ward around and between a row OF
rubber pylons, each to end up in q
tight-fit garage" of pylons. Cars
were separated into classes deter
mined by overall length.

II MARCH OF DIMES

JANUARY IS MARCH OF DIMES month throughout
the United States and the Territories. And that means that
everybody;s attention is being directed to taking stock Of the
program and raising funds for the control and. elimination
of the dread disease of polio which most often strikes at
children.
THE HISTORY of the March of Dimes is too well
known to bear repeating. It has by now become an insti
tuition, and everyone takes for granted that he will be given
an opportunity to make his contribution, and to help wind
M the month with a series Of social functions in the name
Of the great exponent of the campaign, the late President
Franklin Z. Roosevelt.
CONVINCED that this program is of such Importance
and magnitude, the whole idea Of giving turned upon total
participation BY the citizens OF every community. That IS
whv the idea of dimes was created, for certainly everyone
could afford a dime, and if everyone gave but one dime the
program would be successful. a
HOWEVER, REALIZING the significance OF it all cltl
zens. themselves parents and relatives and thus close to the
problem long ago did away with the idea OF dimes ana mace
their contributions in dollars. And that is the way it should
be.
IN ADDITION to dimes and dollars, groups, clubs, So
cieties fraternities. and the like, raise funds through pro-
grams and functions, thus swelling the Golfers OF the Marcn
of Dimes. It must also be remembered that a certain Pefcen-
taoe If what is collected remains with the local group tor
more immediate operations as the needs arise.
WE URGE H fullest support for the March OF Dimes.
There can be no worthier cause.
