The Mexican concession is re-
ported to have followed a confer
ence held recently in Mexico City

ties and border businessmen who
urged the Mexican government to
grant the concession to forestall the
threatened revocation by the Amer
icsn government of the duty free
privileges accorded to American
tourists in Mexico.
Border businessmen hailed the
move by Mexico as a forward step
and declared that it will immedi-
ately increase the flow of trade on
the border. The concession is re-
ported effective Saturday, Jan. %.

the affair, 1 am.

MasOns Support
Cemetery Project
(COntributed)

The proposed project for the
Identification of the local cemetery,
for which the B. P. o. Elks Lodge
is directing drive for contributions
to a sponsorship fund, has received
the official approval of the local
Masonic Lodge.
Following a special meeting Of
their directors, the Masonic Lodge
announced it's active participation
in the project, and is calling upon
all members of the order to make
generous contributions to the ceme-
terry fund, sending their contribu-
tions to Harry A. Wilson, First Ma
tional Bank, who will in turn de-
liver to the Elks committee the en-
tire sum collected by him.
Opportunity is now offering itself
to the people of this community, an
opportunity which may not come
again. The project of rebuilding.
1andscaping, and beautifying the
cemetery is an expensive under
taking, so much so as to be i'm
possible to this community under
ordinary circumstances. The op-
portunity to do this work through
the Works Progress Administration,
who will spend on the project an
amount fifteen times greater than
that subscribed locally, brings the
project within the means of this
community.
The Elks cemetery committee asks
that if you have not already made
your contributions. do SO now; that
you may not let this wonderful un-
dertaking fail for lack of your sup
port.

Masculine Terms for Every One
Dear Mrs. Post: How can the
terms mistress of ceremonies,
chairwoman Tor chairlady) and
toastmistress be avoided? So
many women dislike them and yet
what are they to be called when
they are given these assignments ?
Answer: Women are called chair
man and POSTMASTER and master
OF ceremonies just as a woman is
called an author and not an au-
thoress. In many instances the
masculine forms apply equally to
both men and women.

Three Men and a Secretary

Three Men and secretary
Dear Mrs. Post: My employer
has given office space to two other
men, and soon after these men
came they asked me to do some
of their typewriting in my spare
time. They asked me how much
I wanted, and I said, "Oh, moth
ing" But I hadn't realized that
they were going to ask me to do
their work so often. Ny employer
just asked me what they were
paying me and told him the whole
story and his only comment was
that my price to them was hardly
fair to him. This situation be-
comes awkward and I don't know
how to bring up the subject again
with these men, after having closed
it myself. viii you help me.
Answer: You might ask your
employer to help you out of your
predicament by giving you more
work to occupy your time so you
can refuse the other men. Or if
you are being paid very small
salary, he might suggest that these
men employ you at part-time rate
and explain to them frankly that
In this way your pay will be
brought up to what he considers
your worth but can't afford TO
pay. 1t may be of course that
they are intending to reward your
kindness by giving you a very nice
Christmas present. or a first of
the year bonus am taking 1t
for granted that the time you have
given them does not infringe on
that which belongs to your en-
ployer.
A Broken Wedding Present
Dear Mrs. Post; My sister was
married recently and received a
wedding gift through the mail that
arrived broken. What should she
do? Acknowledge the gift and
say nothing about the broken
glasses, or may she tell the people
who sent them? Or perhaps you
would suggest instead that she
write the store.
Answer: II the package came
direct from a store, she should
write at once to the store. If IL
came from the sender and was
insured, then it is best to tell the
givers when she thanks them. But
If it wasn't insured, it is impos-

thoughts Of the great Christmas

bilities.
kinkku or Finland's Roast Pork
Ten-pound leg Of fresh pork. 2
tablespoons prepared mustard, l
tablespoon sugar. u cup bread
crumbs, cooked prlInes. roast po-
tatoes, fresh or canned pineapple.
Order your fresh pork in ad-
vance and ask the butcher TO
cure" it slightly for you. by
marinating in salt water for three
or four days. Then at home, boil
the slightly cured pork in water,
allowing about Il hour to the
pound. When tender, remove from
water, skin, and cover with pre-
pared mustard, sugar and bread
crumbs. Then roast in moderate
ly hot oven 400 degrees F. for
one hour. Serve on great platter
garnished with prunes, pineapple
and roast potatoes.
With this Christmas dish the
Firms always serve turnip cas-
serole. Boil the turnips. then
mash. Season with milk, nutmeg,
sugar and salt. Mix with bread
crumbs. Place in casserole or
baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs
on top and dot with butter. Bake
until brown. Serve with sweet
pickles.
A Christmas dessert in Finland
would be either whip of prunes,
of cranberries or Arctic bramble-
berries. The berries or prunes are
forced through a sieve and then
mixed with heavy whipped cream.
