= Mrs —— Girl's Mother Objects To Youth's Background
DEAR MRS. MANNERS: 1S IT RIGHT FOR a mother to interfere in her daughter’'s choice of a mate? I'm a “not too bad” looking fellow in love with a girl whose parents believe she is too high ~ gocially for me. Her mother’s only objection is that my ints are foreign-born and speak broken English. But both are American citizens. In our class we also are socially high and respected. . i "I shall graduate from a university with two degrees, cultural and engineering, in a couple of years, My girl attends a university extension and is a freshman, We have planned to marry when I get out of school. a Gi : The, girl’s mother belongs to various sororities, etc. Incidentally, Tm a three-fraternity man in college, My parents are of the highest caliber in their nationality class. ‘My mother is active in church and social affairs, and my brother just recently graduated from a Hoosier university. My girl and I are both Protestants. Yes, I know, we are all Americans and sectionalism in our cities and states is gone—but is it? J. K., HOOSIER. Maybe your girl is a little afraid of the differences in the family backgrounds—and her mother, who knews her so well, may realize it. She wants to believe the differences are unimportant, and she does think so when you're together. But they're in her mind, they're important to her, just as they are to her mother. It isn't’ disrespect of your background. You don’t understand her mother’s social life—she doesn’t understand yours. In those next two years you can learn just how important, or unimportant, these differences could be in marriage. Ignoring them is easy when you're new in love, but not later. If they're going to be important you'd better find out now. You won't find - out by long discussions—youw’ll have to be observant. You'll have to spend & lot of time with the girl's family and friends and she with your family and friends, If it's effort now, it will be more effort later,
v . Regrets Giving Away Baby ; LAST FALL I found I was pregnant by a married man, so I went to a maternity home. I had a hard time delivering my beautiful baby girl. Before she arrived I was anxious to get it over with, never thinking of the baby as anything but an object. After I saw her I found I loved her more than anything, though I had planned to give her up for adoption. I've signed the adoption papers because I thought I'd be selfish to keep her from living with a good family. Now I feel as if I've given away my whole heart. I doubt if I'll ever love anything again. Am I doing the right thing? If I am, why am I so unhappy? BROKEN HEART, CITY. Learning that you have unsefish mother love should make you very happy in time. Your remorse means you want to build a good life. You can’t build it, though, by brooding over your past. Get real busy on a job and in recreation—deserve that good husband and nice children you'll have some day.
Age of Dale Evans ~
WERE YOU mistaken on the age of Dale Evans? I read where she had a son about 18 and would make her only 12 when her son was born, if she was 30 now, as you said. MRS. T. YOU SAID Dale Evans is 30. What's your source of information, a press agent? She is beautiful and looks young, and I like her, but I had her figured older. Recently a magazine article told about her son's marriage. , A ROGERS FAN,
Say, you people are right on your toes, like I want you to be. My source of information was the International Motion Picture Almanac, 1045-46. Write and ask Dale, if you wish, in care of Republic Pictures, 1719 Broadway, New York City. -
Don't Leave Time for Restlessness
TO MRS. M. J., writing a private letter—You weren't happy with your first husband and you're sure you wouldn't be happy with him again. You're attracted to him, probably because you couldn’t corral him (and you still couldn’t) and because your
present husband isn’t exciting. Your husband might interest you See more if neither of you leaye time for restlessness, balancing your work with recreation, sports and hobbies. GLASSES MRS. MANNERS.

Natives of Oberammergau Plan for 1950 Passion Play
Soviet Threats Fail to Dampen Ardor of Historic Bavarian Village
By WILLIAM McGAFFIN, Times Foreign Correspondent OBERAMMERGAU, Germany, Nov. 1—As worried as everybody else in this peace-suspended country about Soviet plans for the future, 2900 natives of this world-famed little village in the Bavarian Alps are going ahead with their own plans. , God willing—and the Russians not interfering — Oberammergau will keep its 1950 pledged to Him, and the famous Passion Play will go on as scheduled. Bhd Everybody wonders who willl| play the coveted roles of Jesus and Mary, who will be considered sufficiently pious. In the autumn of 1949, a 20-member committee drawn from the Oberammergau citizenry will meet to select the cast. . _ Let Hair Grow Come spring every man in the ee village will begin to let his hair JUST CALL a whiskers grow and svery PENWALL CO.

The village law, in fact, prohibits barber shop patronage for a full year. The Passion Play takes seven hours to put on, running from 8 a. m., to 11:30; from 2 to 5:30 p. m—from mid-May to September. The auditorium where the 6000 spectators sit is covered but the stage is open. Patterned after the old three-part Greek style it is large enough to accommodate 600 persons at a time. The beautiful Bavarian mountains form a natural backdrop. Plan for Visitors Hotel and innkeepers are already beginning to do a bit of figuring. In the 300 years since the great spectacle was first put on— in the local cemetery—the event has become a great tourist attraction and money-maker for this area. It has always been a problem to house the visitors—there were 450,000 in 1934, of whom 84,000
