THE RACINE JOURNAL-TIMES, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 5, 1943. ELtVIW Badger Camp, Hospital Committee Reports on Activities for Truax Let's Stop Being Polite To Hoarders At the meeting of the Badger camp and hospital service committee at the Elks club Thursday evening, results of the recent campaign to collect furniture and funds were reported, and new demands made on the Racine committee were discussed. Miss Betty Mrkvicka, chairman of the committee, said that the committee has been asked to send all types of brass musical instruments, victrola records, sheet music, both popular and classical, victrola needles, radio tubes, violins, and bass fiddles. Miss Pearle Henriksen, who recently attended a meeting of the Badger Camp and Hospital Council at. Camp Truax, reported that Lenten Communion Services Planned Two lenten communion services will be held at Atonement Lutheran church one Ash Wednesdv night, March 10, uid the other the following Sunday, March 14.

Services Sunday will introduce the general lenten theme, "The Mission of the Master," with Mr Illustrations, Graphics Are Exhibited at Museum SHOP EITEL'S EARLY! SATURDAY! Of Fall and Winter Coats Only 62 WINTER COATS Only 6 FUR COATS Good Taste Today BY EMILY POST This letter has just come from Hollywood: "For several years I have been secretary to one of the big movie stars here. I can never get used to the 'gimme' attitude of the fans and the lack of manners when the 'gimme' cry has been answered. My boss sends out thousands of photographs a year, at a personal cost of hundreds of dollars and hundreds of minutes writing autographs, yet no one person in a thousand says 'thank you' or even an appreciatively worded I'm wondering if a word from you wouldn't make thoughtless people realize that the most generous person likes to hear an appreciative 'thank you'once a while." for the reason given by the writer of the letter, I am glad to print it because so many people, who themselves have generous intentions, have no idea that they are asking any especial favor. As a matter of fact, people in the public eye love to get letters from their admirers, and motion picture stars are very willing to send their photographs to courteously worded requests. I think that perhaps the answer.

An abrupt just "send me" and no additional word of appreciation seems to be a thoughtless imposition. Woman's Name on Door. Dear Mrs. Post: I am about to be made the first woman supervisor in our office. (1) How should my name appear on the door of my office Miss Helen Ruth Smith; Miss H.

R. Smith or H. R. Smith? () And when I answer 'my telephone shall I say, Helen Smith speaking or Miss Smith speaking? Answer: On the door Miss H. R.

Smith is tfi be preferred for several reasons: If you have H. R. Smith without a title, no one would know it was the office of a woman. Second, even after, entering and discovering you, the visitor could not know whether you are Miss or Mrs. If, on the other hand, you have Miss Helen Ruth Smith on the door, sooner or later you will be called by your first nanW which in business is very bad form.

(2) 'Miss Smith is all that is said at the present time or if your own switchboard operator calls in reply to one who has asked for you, merely say 'Hello' or 'Miss Smith' whichever seems more practical. Wartime Weddlnr. Dear Mrs. Post: In ordinary times, in our town a wedding at 8 o'clock in the evening would call for evening dresses and tail coats. But what happens now in wartime? Our wedding is taking place in the evening shortly after my fiance gets here.

-We are then starting off at once for a brief wed ding trip before he has to return to camp. I shall even have to wear going-away clothes for the ceremony. we are inviting friends and relatives of both families and there will undoubtedly be a church full of guests. Don't you think some mention should be made on the invitations explaining the inform ality, so that all may know they are expected to come in day clothes. Answer: In your special case it seems to me that adding "day clothes" at the end of the invitation will be the only practicable solu tion.

2 SV4 1 SMART MODES Mala ai Fourth By EUTII MILLETT Just to seem like polite, polished people, many of us let hoarders and those who buy on black mar-? kets go around thinking they are smart. A woman announces to a roomful of people that she hasn't yet suffered from the coffee shortage and won't for a long time because she was "smart" enough to put in a good supply before rationing. And nobody is impolite enough to say what he thinks about that kind of thing until her back is turned. Another person tells how he managed to buy something on a black market, and there is no protest. Aren't we doing wrong to be so of offending someone whose opinion we can't really respect that we don't take a stand on behavior and attitudes we know are harmful and potentially disastrous to the war effort? Some Are Impossible.

Of course, it is true that nothing we could possibly. say would influence some people of the "I'm going to get mine" type. But there are people who could be influenced by our opinion if we spoke up and said what we think instead of waiting until they are out of earshot, and then cutting loose. As long as we let those people believe we condone their acts and go along with them in thinking they are smart, we are really abetting their crimes. If we protest, we have at least gone on record as being horrified at the idea of hoarding, buying on the black market, or in any other way putting personal greed above the country's welfare.
