Most sections of North Carolina seem to befalling to thfe not- so-sunny category with unexpected rains coming and go ing. It's a good time now to start thinking in terras of raincoats, galoshes and umbrellas since spring and its April showers are n't far away. Shopping for new rain apparel can be pretty confusing ? par ticularly if you are not exactly straight as to what some of the terms mean, ^'Watfer repellant" and "water proof" are two terms commonly used interchangeably. But Julia Mclver, State College extension specialist in textiles and clothing, says these are two (entirely different - terms and the meaning should be clarified. "Water repellant" materials are those in which the yarn is coated before It Is woven, making the fabric resistant to moisture. Some fabrics are. permanently water repellant ? otners are not. When looking at water repellant garments, read the labels and Learn as much as you can about the particular fabric before In vesting, "Water proof" is a term refer ring to coating a fabric to pre vent the passage of moisture or air through It. But again, read the labels to see what the char acteristics of the fabric are. Janle Trammell. We sang the Brownie songs. The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Helen Hamrlck and Miss Mozelle Masters for the Girl Scout portion of the program. ? ??????? t ?

Gaston Players Give Comedy Hit Thursday, Friday ?c , ? ?' GASTONIA ? A gay Broad way comedy hit dealing with the always hotly debated topic of wo men's rebellion against masculine domination has been chosen by the Gastonla Little Theatre as their next attraction. This is "Strange Bedfellows," by Flo rence Ryerson and Colin Cle ments, which will be presented at Wray Junior high school on Thursday, and Friday nights, February 18 and 19, at, 8:15 p. m. - Set against the picturesque and colorful background of San Fran cisco in 1896, "Strange Bedfel lows" tells the story of a suf fragist leader who marries a young Congressman whose party loyalty requires that he oppose women's suffrangte, and thus rai ses the general question ? as top !"al today in McKinley's time ? whether a bride must give up her own opinions along with her maiden name and accept her hus band's convictions along with the wedding ring. Thte comedy's complications rise out of the fact that each had pledged, upon their marriage, to respect the other's independence of thought, but actually the young husband finds it unthink able that his wife should not obe diently sharte his views, and the wife finds it qutrageous that she should not continue her freedom of opinion. The authors of "Strange Bed fellows" write they have dealt with this serious topic with the broadest humor, considering it too (explosive to handle in all ser iousness. When it was launched on its .six-month run on Broad way, New .York critics called it "a gusty and colorful comedy," "vastly entertaining," and "great good fun." Starring in tne GaStonia pre sentation will be Roger Grler as Senator. CromWell, Mrs. Gertrude Clinton as the Senator's wife; Muriel Ashe as Clarissa filynn Cromwell and Roland Bradley as her husband, Congressman Matt hew Cromwell.
