Happily--for the observers -there were one or two corrections to be made so the board members could watch corrections inserted on the page. Despite the linoytpe machines the guide explained the step after the page is made up. Mats of the page are run off so possible errors can be spotted before the type is finally set into the metal rolls that the paper is printed from. The high school board members intrigued by the mechanical superintendent's ability to read type -which looks both backwards and upside down. "You're wearing trick glasses," one of the more incredulous complained.

Another insisted he had memorized it. Down in the pressroom the' girls saw the papers come off the presses and from there they traveled upstairs to the editorial department, Apparently no one shouted stop- the -presses or anything movie-like. The board members were almost disappointed. And besides that the city editor didn't spout flame when he spoke. Nobody was smoking big, black cigars either.

High school editors who spend from three to four days putting the four pages together and proofreading were surprised to know that between the deadline for copy and the time the paper is run off the presses need only take half an hour -including setting the type and making corrections.

John's Place and the late Mr. Miller, and Ensign David J. U.S. M. son of the late Mr.

and 01 Lt. and Mrs. Edward M. Kelly DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am 20. and in June will be graduated from a prominent junior college.

When I was 18. and living near an army base. I met a young man my age a at our church, and soon we were very much in love. Paul is witty, humorous, poised and polished, and my parents and friends were tremendously impressed with him. Unlike Paul, I have a retiring disposition, although I am equally among people and do a fashion modeling during vacations.

When we had known other eight months, Paul was told he might sent overseas in the near future. The of being separated I upset us terribly; and in spite of my high principles, we became lovers shortly afterwards, as my parents wouldn't let us get married. They wanted me to remain college and postpone marriage until after the war. Paul was transferred; but only to a nearby base, and our intimacy continued. The old saying, "You never know a man until you live with him," certainly proved true of Paul.

Fascination Still Rules I discovered that he was more often disagreeable and nasty than charming and pleasant; that he is very quick tempered, unstable and moody; and when something bothers him, he takes it out on me. He has stayed away from me for weeks when in one of his moods. Although our love is as strong as ever, and I have abundant patience, he makes me SO unhappy that sometimes I wonder if he's worth it all. Although I have known many boys, and still meet many, none has ever fascinated and thrilled me as Paul does. In my opinion, Paul surpasses them all in every respect are.

insofar as girls are concerned, Paul seems to feel the same about me. Would I be making a big mistake to drift along with him? He isn't certain of his future, and we agreed long ago to wait until he is definitely settled in some profesbefore discussing marriage plans although he intends to marry me. However, I sometimes wonder, in view of his bad traits. whether I could depend on him as a faithful and good husband. My parents want me to enter Radcliffe and since I'm already accepted there I will have to register soon if I intend to go.

But I don't feel I could devote myself to my studies while my mind is so confused. I believe my whole future depends on getting sound advice now and as I can't talk to my parents. I am turning to you. Please answer soon. M.

P. Don't Bog Down DEAR M. In my opinion, the opportunity that presses, go to Radcliffe, is a lifeline thrown out to you, which ought to be seized with gratitude and alacrity, as the immediate answer to your urgent prayer for guidance in finding your way out of pitch-dark confusion. Since Paul has bound you to the understanding that marriage to him must wait for years, in any case: and, more especially, since you have found that complete surrender of your personality to his dominance, in the existing dead-end arrangement, nets you little else than dazed and constant suffering, it makes perfect sense to pull yourself together, with an emergency influx of self deliberately preservative moral strength, and engage a course action which requires you to employ the main force of your attention in an extroverted way. Invest it in work and activities which carry no memories of him.

and are completely divorced from your relationship to him. I see no happiness ahead for you with Paul, either as his sweetheart or wife. Also. I say conviction, you are not in love with him; but only, by now, sexually addicted to him: and still clinging in tenuous justification your mistake in becoming his mistress, to the false, first favorable impression he made upon you. Why not face the facts and admit that he is A brutally selfish man; a cruel, shallow egoist and sensualist since he has proved himself so in intimate relation to you? Nothing could be uglier than his secondary assault on your self esteem -his rude contemptuous treatment of your feelings and personality--since becoming your lover.

Man Despises His Conquest This is as much as to say that, from his viewpoint, you forfeited title to respectful, or tender. or even ordinarily polite consideration from him, when you gave yourself to him unconditionally. I judge he rather despises you for permitting the cont quest. He is. vaguely, as disheartened and disillusioned by turn of events as you are; and that, being unstable and hot tempered, he 18-as you say -taking displeasure out on you.

This we know: Whatever the significance of his attitude, it would be a fatal handicap to marriage. And therefore, I think the whole point and purpose of all your efforts and activities, beginning now, should be to break away from Paul, and outgrow and forget him. M. H..
