teresting and the most difficult. It's the time of fastest growing up and fastest adjustment to study and to the new situation. Secondly, you say that you have been going out with this young man for four years which means that virtrually since you began to date, at the age of 14, you have gone out with one boy. This has made you rather unaware of what other kinds of men there are in the world. I am not saying that you don't love him and I am not saying that he doesn't love you.

I am not saying that you won't be very happily married for the rest of your life. BUT I am saying that that first year in college will give you a chance to continue your education and meet other men and to be able to evaluate this man you love in a far more mature and intelligent manner. If you do love him as much as you say, then certainly the year you spend dating other men will help that love. It will make you realize all the more what there is about this man that you do love and why it is that you want to marry him. The most promising possibility is of getting married while you are going to school.

I gather, that he is working and able to support you. Therefore there is no financial reason why you should not be able to go to school at the same time as be a housewife. The demands of college are no more on your time then the demands of a job. And many women maintain a full-time job and act as housewives as well. If this man truly loves you as he says, he shouldn't object to having his wife continue her education.

ROBERT have returned after a vacation Virgin Islands. two paths you can take one against the other, I would sincerely advise starting college and broadening yourself and giving yourself' a chance to become an even more mature and adult woman. During your first year at school, have an understanding with your young man, but date other people. If at the end of the first year you are still sure you want to marry, then do so, and you can continue your education. You will increase your chances of making a good marriage with the wider experience and education that college will provide for you.

By LINDA KLEIN DOVER A dramatic new "state-state relationship" is the challenge that drew Miss Mary C. McQuade, new director of public health nursing, to her new position in Dover. A course to prepare and seeking study, designed graduate nurses its accreditation, is the new "baby," product of the intrastate cooperation of two state agencies, the University of Delaware and the public health nursing department of Delaware. "What really brought me here," the vivacious, energetic Miss McQuade said, "is our most interesting and exciting tie-up with the University of Delaware." The emphasis in nursing, she explained, has changed tremendously since the 1940s. A public health nurse now needs a degree from an accredited institution, with a liberal arts as well as medical background, "so the nurse can serve the whole person." THIS year, for the first time, students at the University of Delaware will begin field work for an accredited four year program, graduates of which will be qualified to work for the Department of Public Health.

Miss McQuade's new responsibilities include planning, organizing and administering all public health nursing services in the State of Delaware. These services center around clinics for crippled and ortho-pedically handicapped children, maternal and child health care, and well-child stations. "The large part of our jobs." she said, "involve working in homes where there are health needs. "WE will be moving more and more into nursing care in the home," she added. "I feel this is where the new emphasis must be placed; nurses should be sent wherever they are needed.

A patient may just want to talk something through; if a member of the family has been dis-. missed from the hospital, or if there is a mentally retarded child in the family, a public health nurse is needed whether there is an immediate sickness or not. "The biggest gap we have is that people don't use our services; with people living longer all the time, and the ever increasing number of aged people, it's a sure thing we're going to need more nursing care in the family that's what makes our service different from the hospitals'; our service is oriented to the family situation." Miss McQuade comes to Delaware with a long and varied experience in the field of public health nursing. FOR the past two years she has been director of public nursing in Elizabeth, N.J., and spent, off and on, the 25 previous years in the health department of New York City as assistant director of public health nursing. While in New-York she served as a district supervising nurse, as a hospital nursing consultant, and as a staff nurse.

She was chief nurse for the Veterans Registration Office Clinic, and chief nurse for the Loeb Nursing Home, Monte- Virginia Gore, John Giovale plan WeddinQ Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Miss Cora K. Morris, of the extension division, University of Delaware. National Cathedral Women set card party at Longwood By DR. JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: I am 18 and my parents want me to enter college in the fall, but the boy I am in love with wants to get married and so do I.

However, he has told me that if 1 go to school, he would wait for me. He is 22. Do you thind he will wait for me that long if he loves me? Or do you think I should forget him, which will be hard since I have been going out with S.M. him for four vears? DEAR S.M.: The problem, which seems unsurmountable to you, is really quite simple. There are two roads which you can take.

The first is going to college and taking your boy friend's advice to finish college before you get married. And the second is starting to go to college and then getting married, but continuing your college education. Either one of these paths can work out, but If the decision were up to me, I would say that four years is a long wait for someone you love and the wisest plan, it would seem to me, would be to plan on going to college for the four years, but marrying sometime after the first year. COLLEGE, and the years you spend there, are very wonderful. You will broaden your vistas.

You will be thrown into contact with ideas that will develop you far beyond anything you can imagine today. And you will be thrown into contact with people whom you would never otherwise have an opportunity to meet. College will do you a great deal of good in helping you grow up and appreciate the beauties and wonders of life. The first year of college, in particular, is the most in The Rev. and Mrs.
