SAFE AND SANE
FOURTH URGED
APPEAL MADE TO EVERY
MOTORIST IN FLORIDA BY
SAFETY DIRECTOR
Especial Ia The CIfIzeHT

1ALLAH June 3U.-
State Safety Director Asher
Frank is appealing to every mo-
torist in Florida to observe a safe
and sane Fourth by exercising ex-
ira precautions during the holi-
day weekend.
Take your family out for a
holiday outing, but bring them
back alive" urged the safety di-
rector. THE trainers of our con-
stitutiOn did not intend that indie
pendence Day should be celebrat-
ed by death, destruction and in
jury"
A special plea is being made
to parents to guard against per-
hitting children to play with fire
works unless an older person is
present to prevent accidents. THE
safe way to handle fireworks is
not to handle them at ALL" said
Frank.
Last years accident toll on
the Fourth was three deaths. as
compared to the six fatalities the
previous year, and it is hoped
that the holiday will not be
msrred by 2 single accident of
any kind this year.
Lets celebrate Uncle Sans
birthday this year in a sensible
and safe way" Frank concluded.

The other evening the sub

tables had been under discus
sion by Jane and Mary. They
were still actively interested
in this subject last night.

Jane.

"AlI right, my dear, il you are
so smart, what is t-ip-b-u-r-n and
s-e-e-d-s-t-e-m-s?"
Jane wrote them out and after
looking at them for some time
and unSucceSSfully trying to find
them in the dictionary decided
that it was a new coinage similar
to contractionS made famous by
Time magazine
Tipburn they figured meant
sunburn Of the leaf tip and seed
stem the slender seed producing a
stalk that shoots up through the
head of lettuce after it has reached
maturity.
Whether they are right, I do not
know. We did agree that this bust
ness of growing lettuce is now q
science and had long since passed
the dirt farmer stage.
We were interested in finding
out Just what Uncle Sam thought
~. s. Fancy lettuce should be like.
Mary read off the specifications
for this grade.
gu. s. Fancy shall consist Of
heads of lettuce Of similar varietal

this phrase was defined on page
three) which are fresh, firm, well

A comparison showed that the
difference between U. S. Fancy
and U. S. Grade No. was that
the former listed among its quail
fications that of being firm and
well formed. u. S. Commercial
said that the heads should be free
from serious damage from tipburn

So, it was only for the lowest
grade that the standards were low

We were also interested in
knowing which grade we were buy

pointed out before that one Of the
difficulties encountered in market
ing fresh vegetables is that they

WEDDING GIFT

Dear Mrs. BeeCkman:
"I have been invited to the we'd
ding and reception Of one Of my
sorority sisters, along with three
other girls. We anticipated giving
the bride q gift together, but here
is the difficulty. My fiance has
been invited to the wedding and
reception, and he and the bride
scarcely know each other, they
have met just once. She asked
him merely so that I would have
an escort.
'WiIl il be necessary for us to
give q gift together, or can I join
in with the girls, and then he wont
give q gift w..
I advise that you go ahead with
your plan of giving a gift with
your three sorority sisters. Under
the circumstances, it is not at all
necessary for your fiance to give
the bride a gift. OF course he
may, if he wishes, send a gift in
courtly acknowledgement Of the
brides most gracious invitation,
but it might be q very simple gift,
just a hint Of his appreciation and
good wishes.

Etiquette
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

ByMRS.C CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II play In . striMged orchestra
composed OF men and women. Is
is proper for the women to wear
their hats when playing? IL seems
to me for church affairs it would
be proper. But how about other
functions, such as dinner music or
similar affairs? "B."
Usually this question Of attire
is very definitely prescribed by the
director or conductor of such an
orchestra. And, If it hasn't been,
it should be. An outsider like me
would not have the right to step
in with suggestions.
Since there Is such uncertainty
in your mind about this, and since
there should be a harmony about
this attire, why don't you and the
other women in the orchestra con-
suit with the director about his
wishes in this most important mat
ter of appropriate costume and &C
ceSSorieS?
There would probably be a varia-
ton of the general rule about the
wearing of hats when the orchestra
plays in O church, since, in these
cases, church regulations would
take precedence, but, on other oc-
casions, it is the usual custom for
women playing in orcheStras not
to wear hats. Sometimes a di.
rector suggest that the women all
wear simple black dresses, some
times he suggests that they all
wear white dresses.
In general, the idea is that the
costumes be Of such q subdued
kind that the attention Of the OBJ
servers is concentrated on the
music, not on the costumes.

disease, aphis or other insects or
mechanical or other means"
AS Jane and I tried to compre-
bend just what this all meant,
Mary turned over to page three
and started defining the words
fresh" firm" well formed"
etc.-even the word burst" came
in for a definition. Some Of the
lingo was intriguing, like the
name wrapper leaves" which, as
defined, means "all the leaves
which do not fairly closely enfold
the compact portion of the head."
The marketing Of the lettuce so
necessary in this age for our ever
present salad was beginning to
take on new meaning. It seems
that an incredible amount Of labor
must be involved to produce hun
dreds of heads Of lettuce that can
be quickly packed when most per-
feet for marketing.
