CONTRACT AWARDED - A
contract was awarded by the State
Highway Department last week
to Brann and Stuart Company, of
Trenton, New Jersey, for placing
new underpining under the bridge
along the southbound lane of u.
S. Route IS at Drawers Greek,
north of Odessa, at their low bid
price of s21 .20S.
The contract provides for the
work to be completed in so work
ing days. but it is dependent upon
the ability of the concern to pro-
cure the structural steel needed
for the project. Inability to pro-
cure this needed steel may cause
a further delay in the operation.
At the present time the bridge
is closed to traffic and when the
repairs are completed it will be
limited to a one lane traffic artery
at reduced speed. The Highway
Department plans to completely
replace this bridge at some future
date.
This contract was one of 10
awarded during the past week by
the Highway Department, with the
low bids on the contracts totaling
$500, 205.03.

pensive. In particular, I like
the ones with criss-cross fag-
oting outlining the yoke. Can
you tell me how to do this,

Bring your needle to the

Mrs. E. S.
A. The most important
reason for using a basic pat

tern is to give you q guide
to follow in altering patterns
to your own individual meas
urements. A basic pattern
consists Of four depending
on the pattern company
basic styles in tissue patterns.
You take each of these and
make them in muslin, try
them on, and check fit. Then
you make any adjustments
necessary, mark them in pen
Gil on the muslin and then
take the muslin apart.
Press the muslin pieces and
transfer the changes to the
pattern tissue. From then
on, you use these altered It's
sues as guides when altering
all other patterns. You can
also use them to experiment
with necklines, sleeves and
silhouettes. With a little
practice you can design
dresses with simple lines.

@. I have a dress with a
yoke. The yoke consists Of
five inches of shirring. LTy
problem is that there is no
backing on the shirring and
I'm afraid it will start to pull
out or the stitches will break
If it isn't reinforced. How can
! do this now that the dress
is already made? Miss T. r.
A. Cut a piece Of fabric in
size and shape that will COM
pletely cover the shirring plus
one-half inch all around for
seam allowance. Fold under
the raw edges of this piece
and pin to the wrong side Of
the garment over the shir-
ring. Then, hem the piece to

a word from him about
Chang Kai-shek and about
Communist China, except to
underwrite the existing pol
icy established by the Tru-

1t is too early to forecast
the future design of policy,
of course, or to predict the
nature of tomorrow's rela-
tions with the rest of the
world. But we can already
see certain obvious signs, and
these are important indeed.
These signs, in the aggre-
gate, indicate that the United
States position in world af-
fairs will be to continue to
strive to remain the leading
nation of the free world, pos
sibly by closer cooperation
with the hard core of Western
Europe, France and Ger
many. For there is this diff

no longer has the unchal-
lenged right or privilege of
unquestioned supremacy in
the councils of the non-

world.
After World War II, there
was nothing left in Western
Europe to provide a bastion
of strength against the ad-
vances of militant commu-
nisn1. That was in 1945 and
