ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"There has been a dispute
among some girls and myself as
to whether it is good taste to an
nOunce ones engagement by
means Of engraved bethrOthaI
cards? / have always heard that
it IL not, but as several have been
received lately from girls, who
would be expected to know the
correct thing to do in a case Of
this sort. / am almost convinced
that I am wrong. F."
It has never been considered
good taste. and still isn't conSid-
cred good taste, to send formal
announcements of a betrothal.
Formal announcements are cor
rect for marriage, but not for an
engagement.
When girl decides to announce
her engagement, she tells her
close relatives and close friends.
Those who live near her usually
tells by word Of mouth: to those
who live at some distance, she
writes notes. The man does the
same. There may be a special
party to make the announcement,
and the girls parents may send a
formal announcement of the en-
gagement to the newspapers. But
no engraved announcements
should be sent,

ling of the hall after it's completion.
Several proposals for the handling

building to the school district, or
| the election of a separate conlml1l-
ity committee to look after the nee
essary details of managing the hall.

Utility Ordered To
Drill New Wells

After reviewing testimony taken
at a recent hearing in Sunnysdde,
the division of public utilities of
the state department OF public SER
vice this week ordered the North
western Natural Gas Co. to install
additional equipment at its natural
gas wells on the Rattlesaake hills
a few miles south of Hartford, and
to begin exploration for a new
source of supply within 80 days.
At the hearing, expert testimony
showed that a shortage similar to
the one last winter could be averted
by increasing the capacity OF COM
pressors at a. cost of from $4,000
to $1,000. Last winters shortage
caused hardship in the lower valley,
necessitated the closing Of schools,
made homes uncomfortable and
handicapped stores due to the lack
of heat.
The department. further ordered
the company to proceed immedi-
ately with the development and
drilling of at least two exploratory
or prospecting wells on the side OF
the fault in the Rattlesnake hills
or upon Snipes mountain or in the
vicinity of Mabton or upon other
convenient or adjacent property so
as to make the production COM
! mercially feasible.
''The addition of new compressor
units will not cure the situation,
but merely palliate it and permit
the customers of the utilities to re-
ceive sufficient gas their for needs
for a period estimated at from two
to two and a half years" the find.
ing of fact of the department read
Witnesses at the hearing ad'
r1itted that new wells must b.
