Widow Should Marry ' Bui Not Too Soon Marriage means a big adjust ment for both husband and wife. The more this can be done before marriage, the more smoothly the marriage will run. (Q) "I am a widow, in my fifiies. Shortly before Christmas, I met a wonderful man who is a widower. We have been keep ing company ever since and he has been wonderful to me. I am certain he will soon ask me lo marry him as he is very lone some. Should I say yes or no? I was born in September and he in March. Do you think these months would be appropriate for us to marry?" 0 M.L.T. (A) To answer your first ques tion first. I would certainly say yes when this man proposes to to you, if you like him as much as you say you do and if you are con- v i n c e d you will be happy with him. Wid owhood is a lonely state, e s p e c-i a 1 ly Hurlock when one grows older. If there is a way to eliminate this loneliness, by all means seize it. Now, about your second ques tion. There may be sentimental value to you in marrying during the month of your birthday or his but any month of the year would be equally suitable. If this man is in business, would it not be better to select a month when he would be on vacation so you could go away together for a wedding trip?0 From December to March is a short time. It is hardly long enough to get to know a person well enough to be sure you want to spend the rest of your lives together; even if you see him constantly. If he feels September is too lon to wait, why not make it an early summer wedding, per haps in June? When the weather is nice and you can drive to the country for day trips or picnics, it makes the adjustments to mar riage easier than in the winter when the weather sometimes makes you housebound over the long weekends. , (Copyright 1956.

'....,, The Rev. Hugh Lawrence Fos ter, 27, was reached at his resi dence Wednesday night after Miss Lucy said in New York she planned to marry him. 1 Foster said, "I have no.- com ment to make," when asked if he knew Miss Lucy. He made the same reply, to almost every other question asked of him. It was when asked if he might have something to say later that he answered, "I don't want to make a public show of this." Asked about his work, he said "I am a Baptist minister," but he pushed aside all further questions about his- preaching by again stating, "I have no comment to make." Foster is a student at Butler College, an all-Negro institu tion in Tyler, and also preaches at a Tyler church. i M Results that or very homo baker's dream are your when you depend on Gabber Girt Baking Powder.

Stevenson rested up from an "encouraging" whistle-stop tour of Minnesota today and confer red with his advisers on wheth er to enter more primaries. His aides said a decision would be forthcoming on whe ther Stevenson will jump into the Oregon, Indiana, or New Jersey primaries in his drive for the Democratic presidential nomination. Doubts New Jersey Race Stevenson himself said he doubted whether he would make the New Jersey race. Chances appeared slightly bet ter that he would get into the Oregon or Indiana primary, al though the Illinoisan made no definite commitment. Stevenson flew into Chicago, his' home base, Wednesday after a hard-driving six-day cam paign for votes in Minnesota March 20 primary. Sen. Estes Kefauver, btevensons oppon ent in the Minnesota race, also wound up his campaigning for the time being and flew to Washington to be in on the vot ing on the controversial farm bill today. No Prediction Stevenson called his Minne sota campaign "very encourag ing, very good, far better than I foresaw," but declined to pre dict the outcome. Kefauver also kept quiet on his chances, al though he said he thought he had made progress against Stev- Peoria Residents in Tizzy Over Funny Worms in Wafer, Rat-like Creatures Peoria, 111. (U.R) Little crea tures had Peoria in a tizzy today. There are funny little white worms in the drinking water and strange rat-like beasties roaming the streets. Nobody knew where the crea tures came from, but city offi cials vowed they would find out. Rumblings from Peoria's 115,000 residents indicated it had better be soon. ' The worms and the beasties turned up at about the same time a week ago. Residents reported that small white worms, about one-eighth to three-eighths of an inch long, enson's strong party backing in the state. Back in Chicago, Stevenson had comments on the Middle East situation, President Eisen hower's proposal to Russia for a halt in the nuclear arms race, and whether Nixon will be on the GOP ticket next year. Mid-East Disturbing He called the Arab-Israeli tension "a source of the gravest anxiety and alarm," and " a very disturbing situation," but offered no solutions. He doubted if Russia would go along with Mr. Eisenhower's nuclear arms suggestion "as long as we are as far ahead of them as the administration says we are." And he said he isn't likely to have any inside information on whether Mr. Eisenhower wants Nixon to run with him again. "I don't believe I'm going to be consulted about the compo sition of the Republican tick et," he quipped. were flowing out of their water her while she was crossing faucet pipes. They didn't seem to hurt the taste of the water but they wetren't nice to look at. Diet-Improving Worms Dr. Max Sutter of the State Water Division Survey figured the worms were larvae of the midge-fly. He assured residents they were harmless and would probably beef up the protein quantity of their diet. The rat-like creatures were more serious. They are three times bigger than a normal rat, police reported, measure almost two feet long, and appear to be a cross between a rat and a muskrat. Nobody in Peoria had seen their like .until they turned up in the downtown "loop" a week ago Wednesday. Since then they've also been spotted in res idential areas, where the rodent population is generally limited to mice. Possible Sewer Dwellers Reports differed on whether they have webbed feet and po lice didn't know whether they came from sewers or from out of town. A woman reported that one of the creatures jumped at Stroller Seeks Lovers As Petition Signers Valereton, England U.R) Norman Colledge, 18, said today he plans to stroll down the. local lovers' lane Saturday in hopes of enrolling spooning couples in his campaign. .

City officials called on Peor- ians to keep calm and indicated they will consult zoologists on what the creatures are. They also promised to give the water pipes a good flushing in hopes that the worms would go away. Many Peoria residents swore off water for the time being. And a policeman, sifting through complaint reports, said "I think I'll move to Chicago." DETERGENT BARGAIN! HI Imagine!
