The play, which is being directed by Angus Bowrner, presents some unusual problems in staging since it includes scenes in both an exterior and an interior set ting. The cramped stage in Church ill Hall auditorium, where the play will be given, promised to be a headache for William Oyler, technical director for the play and his stage crew, until a stage wagon was designed by Harold Johnson of the SOC mainten ance staff. This wagon allows for a complete change from an interior to exterior setting in one minute's time. Other difficult technical as pects concerning the play are being solved one at a time, ac cording to Director Bowrner, Ot to Wilda, of the SOC art depart ment, is designing a projector slide which will realistically de pict the Brooklyn Bridge and New York skyline, one of the settings of the play. Unusual lighting effects are also in store for the Winterset audiences, and these promise to promote the sinister and grip ping atmosphere projected by the play. Dick Hay, technical di rector for the Shakespearean Festival, is assisting with the lighting. The play has been scored so that modern American music heightens the emotional impact of many of the scenes, and bridges the break from one scene to the next. Musical ef fects are under the supervision of Dean Reeter, with special vio lin music by Dennis Hannen of the SOC staff. According to Director Bow rner, the play "Winterset" is a violent production, and, conse quently, not suitable for chil dren. The play includes a number of veteran SOC players, and also introduces some promising new comers to the college stage. Cur tain will be at 8 p.m. both eve nings.

Designers this spring have come up with a variety of sil houettes, rather than concentrat ing on one new look, Mrs. Dow ler said. The strongest new trend, she says, is the "cape look." "Capes are shown in all lengths. There are full length capes for wear over dresses and suits, brief capes over dresses, suits with detachable capes and dresses with large cape collars. "Both the costume and 'My Fair Lady' looks continue strong" Mrs. Dowler said. "More and more dresses are shown with short or long coata lined with matching material. The empire lines, blousy backs and frilly fronts that character ize the fair lady look also are much in evidence." Turning to suits and sports wear, Mrs. Dowler reported the appearance of pastel furs, dyed to match, on the collars of many suits and the continued emphas is on the Ivy look" with button down collars, tab belt backs, roll-up sleeves in sportswear. Silk blends lead the parade of new spring fabrics with lilac, mint and coral topping the ar ray of new colors. J. J. Materie, manager of Wards here, attended the fash ion preview with Mrs. Dower. It was conducted by Rita Per na. Wards New York fashion co ordinator.

"All things being equal, it is wise to jf.,.ws marry s 4 five. a m a n six or 6iy pui.r even seven years your junior," said the youthful Dr. Anger, who does marital and family counseling. She said a girl reaps a two fold return by selecting a mate younger than herself: . She in creases the chances of a happy marriage, and she decreases the chances of one day being widowed. Numerous studies indicate that marriages, where the hus band is younger, are successful," said Mrs. Langer, who is executive-secretary of the Ameri can Orthophysiatric association, a professional organization. Women Live Longer Take the problem of widow hood. Mrs. Langer, a widow and mother of an 11 year old boy, pointed to government statistics on how acute it has become in this country. Woman's life span' is longer than man s At present, there are more than 7.5 million widows. 13 per cent of our adult population. At the rate we're going, things won't improve. Woman's life span continues to increase over man's she said. "The male mortality rate starts early," said Mrs. Langer in an interview. "More male than female babies are born, but more male infants than fe, male die in the first year of life. "Women now are in excess in all but four countries of the world." . In this country, women out number the men by about two million. Dr. Langer said our society has two solutions to the male shortage. Polygamy, or finding Week's Sewing Buy SNAPPY-WRAP!

Or. maybe both. Tennessee Polygamy Bill "I doubt if our society would accept polygamy now," she said, "although we may have to some day. I notice that a sen ator in Tennessee the other day offered a polygamy bill." "Tennessee Senator Harlan Dodson's bill would permit poly gamy to alleviate the surplus of women." He said every wom an has the 'inherent right of the joys and comforts of matri mony.' This discussion of the male shortage came about because Mrs. Langer has written a book called "Learning To Live As A Widow." Her husband, an ad miralty lawyer, died seven years ago. . She said one of the biggest mistakes the widow makes is in not looking ahead. She too often buries herself in memories, lets the "if onlys" take over. And others, she said, are not always helpful. Once a widow's grief has lessened, if she be comes active socially, other .wo men, the non-widows, look at her with misgivings. "There is," said Dr. Langer, "a saying in Spanish which goes: 'A buxom widow should either be remarried immediately or else, killed.'

Besides the additions to camp ing and troop funds, the sale gives the troop members an op portunity to have the experience of raising and handling money. as learning to do this carefully is part of a Girl Scout's educa tion. Recommendations to girls sell ing cookies are to be business like and handle money accurate ly; be neat, wear a uniform if possible, be quiet and courteous; membership pins be worn and membership cards carried. All ages of scouts may par ticipate in the cookie sale, but it is recommended that Brownie Scouts sell only in their neigh borhoods, to family and friends.
