remains to

cess on April 14 are the mere mat-

ters of ticket sales and decorations The W. F. G. Plan (the initials stand for We Furnish the Girls) was founded last year because of the bashful nature of a large num(ber of the Cathedral undergraduates. They were too shy te invite girls to dances. And since girls are very important to the success of school dances, something had to be done. Eligibles Are Listed

It was. A system was worked out whereby St. Agnes and St. Mary's Academies and Sacred Heart and St. John's high schools send a list of the names of eligible girls to Cathedral with their height, weight, color of hair and eyes and a few hints noted as to their dispositions. The shy swains at Cathedral select the names of the young ladies, purchase the tickets and meet the girls at the dance. In a way, it's sort of like a mass blind date. Richard McCalley is in charge of the plan this year. Meanwhile, with the dance less than two weeks off, Cathedral undergraduates are working busily on decorations. Under the direction of Tom Broden they are planning to drape miles of crepe paper in the school auditorium. The art department is preparing painted panels eight feet tall. A huge chandelier has been borrowed from the Home Show, Pupils Are Managers For the first time the dance will be managed by pupils parents and for the first time the pupils have decided it would be a nice thing to invite their parents to attend the dance, too. This all leads up to

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, April 2 (U.P.).—Ross Sharp thought the nation's alimony laws were all wrong. When friend of his Elizabeth, $12.50-a-week support order, Mr. Sharp's anger boiled over, she testified. “He told ‘You don't need to think vou'll ever get a court order on me-—I'll go so far you'll never see me again.” That was 25 vears ago, when Mr. Sharp was 35. He made good his threat “I've never seen or heard of him since.” Mrs. Sharp said The court granted her petition for divorce

The new specifications require that printers who get State contracts must buy materials from firms who operate in the State. This prevents out-of-state firms from getting State printing business as has been done in the past, Cooper C, Clifton, Board director, said. Mr. Clifton said he believed that the 15 classifications and subdivisions would meet with more general approval than did the pre-1939 system which lumped everything into five classes and thus gave the successful
