By GAILE DUGAS NEW YORK, (NEA)—Of the some 2,000,000 American girls who will walk down the aisle this year, it's been estimated that at least a quarter of them will wear wedding rings by Mr. and Mrs. Cupid. \Mr. and Mrs. Cupid,\ as they're known here, are Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Resen, husband and wife team specializing in the wedding ring field. Dorothy Resen designs the rings that her husband sells. They estimate that, since they went into business in 1930, about 1,400,000 men and women have bought their rings. When the Resens started their business, in the depths of the de- pression, the accepted wedding ring was a narrow band. The Resens felt that it was time to revive the wide Victorian band. They did, and now the wide band outsells the nar- row by far. Since that original Victorian mo- tif, Dorothy Resen has borrowed inspiration from furniture design, the iron grillwork in New Orleans' French Quarter and a wisp of chim-^ ney smoke. During World War II, the Resens heeded the requests of soldiers and sailors. They turned out wedding rings engraved with such sentiment as \I Love You\ and \I Thee Wed.\ The Resens themselves are par- tial to rings that depend on line and design for beauty. The simpler the ring, the better they like It. They favor the wide band that is pierced, engraved or carved. They use platinum, precious white metal palladium or yellow gold most often. Sometimes, the bands are set with rubies, diamonds or sapphires. More often, they are not. The Res- ens like to make wedding bands that are within financial reach of every bride and groom. Men, they've discovered, are less reticent about the double ring cer- emony than once was true. Male tastes in wedding rings vary from town to town and from state to state. Small towns and nearly any city or town in the Midwest prefer plain, narrow bands. But out in Texas—yippee! The Texans buy for themselves, as well as for then' brides, wide rings that are jeweled, pierced, engraved, carved and com- plete with sentiment. If there's a lot of sentiment, that's good. Since they're happily married themselves, the Resens like to think that most of their rings are still being worn by the original pur- chasers. But, for people who want to repledge themselves to their marriage, the Resens have their newest design. It's a repledging ring in gold with a platinum service stripe for every year of marriage. TV OWNERS BUY LESS CLOTHES SAYS RESEARCHER LOS ANGELES, i/Pi — Television may have brought families closer together, but it has also reduced the family income spent on clothing, ac- cording to Norma N. Shenk, home economist at the University of Cali- fornia. Miss Shenk claims that payments on TV sets, together with increased food and housing costs, reduce sav- ings of middle income groups for clothing. \The silver lining to Uie problem,\ he says, \is that people don't need as many new. clothes when they stay at home watching video.\ Miss Schenck explains that small boys from six to 12 years of age, usually need a pair of new shoes about every two months, but with TV keeping the youngsters indoors, shoe requirements have dropped. It is estimated that 20 per cent of the nation's steel and 30 per cent of its pig iron are made in Penn- sylvania, mostly in the industralized western sccton of the state. Scout Camporee Will Be Held In Canada, June 1-3 Au Sable Forks Troop 54 to Be Featured in 'Boys' Life' Magazine The annual Boy Scout Camporee which has been, for the past few years, held at the Macomb Military Reservation, Schuyler Falls, will be held this year at Lachine, Que., Canada as an international affair with an eye to continuing the furthering the existing good will be- tween Cp.nada and the United States. The Camporee group will be com- prised of approximately 500 scouts from the Adirondack Council, and 500 scouts from the Long Trail Council of Vermont. The American scouts will make camp with 1500 or more Canadian scouts. The entire group will be together for three days, June 1-3. During the past few years, Troop 54 of Au Sable Forks has established a reputation as an outstanding troop, exemplary of all that good scouting implies, and as an indirect reward, the troop will be featured in \Boys' Life\ magazine, the na- tional Boy Scout publication. Chest- Fish of the editorial staff will ar- rive in Au Sable Forks, May 31. He will do a story on the troop's prep- aration and participation in the Canadian Camporee. He will be the guest of Troop 54, living with its scouts while in Canada. The troop is proud of this distinc- tion, and it is also appreciative of the aid and support of the Au Sable Forks Rotary Club, its sponsor and of the community which it repre- sents. The Au Sable Forks troop has been engaged for a great part of 'the Winter and all of Spring mak- ing plans and carrying out a pro- gram of advancement in the vari- ous Scout skills, as well as in the preparation of the physical prop- • erties of the troop. Ten scouts have advanced to first class, 12 to second class rank. A total cf 35 Merit Badges in a variety of subjects have been earned and by June 30, ten more scouts of the troop will be advanced to Star Scout. Last Autumn a nevv patrol was installed. The troop now has four patrols of eight scouts each. Under the present troop program, it re- quires nearly $100 to equip a patrol for a complete year-round program including two weeks of Summer camping at the Councils Camp Bed- ford. Troop 54 will, this Summer, con- duct its own ca«vp, Including oook- Jng, etc. This is a pilot project spon- sored by the Council with the pros- pect of all the council scout troops following the same practice in fu- ture years. It makes for better^, training in self-sufficiency and in dependence as well as a better i camping experience for the scouts. 5) At Edwards PREPARE NOW To give your Youngsters the sun!

One end of their long nets is an- chored close to shore, and the other pulled through a long semicircle by men wading or in boats. The fish- ermen begin their season when the ice leaves the bay, and end only when it freezes over. * Piles - Get Relief Now Millions of sufferers in the last 40 years have found a way to fast re- lief from itching smarting piles.
