Good Taste
Today
By EMILY POST

Every so often, when I print an
answer to a specific problem in
this column, another reader SEEM
ingiy imagines her own immediate
problem identical. when really 1t
is not. This Is undoubtedly what
has happened in the following in
stance: why is incorrect to be-
gin an informal note Dear Mary
and Bill and 10 sign this note
from John and Helen? Judging
by an answer you have written in
your column. I believe that the
only time 1t is proper to include
both husband and wife in the same
note Is when answering a formal
invitation, which says of course
that Mr.. and Mrs. Blank accept
invitation of Mr.. and Mrs.
Neighbor.'
To this. let me say that there
is no rule against any ones writ
ing in any way she chooses. to any
one she knows well. The only diff
ficulty in writing one letter to
two persons is that you will soon
find yourself writing to one or
the other alone, since 1t is almost
impossible to make the word you"
apply to both at the same time.
In the same way, If you sign both
your names. then who has been
saying what? However, If you can
overcome these hazards, then GER
tainly go ahead.
The Risk Of Advising Friends
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
died not long ago and left me with
a little money. Many of my
friends and relatives are gener-
ously advising me about the right
investments to make. Ny hus-
band gave me good advice while
he lived. and while I'm not
know-it-all would prefer to make
my own inquiries and finally my
own decisions. How can / put
this idea across without appearing
rude?
Answer: In your situation MOTH
ing could be simpler. since you
need merely say that you gave
your husband your promise to look
after your own property. Per-
sonally, l think this is very wise,
not only for your own peace of
mind, but because it isn't fair to
any friendship to weight it with
such responsibility as the possible
jeopardizing of your security.
Men Shake Hands
Dear Mrs. Post: You have said
that men shake hands when they
are introduced. Does this mean
that they do always. or might
there be some everyday exceptions
to the rule?
Answer: No, there are no every
day exceptions for men with man.
ners.
Restaurant Manners
Dear Mrs. Post: How does one
refer to another person at table
when speaking to the waiter?
Answer: In French restaurant
you say. Madam would like some
bread" In any other restaurant
you say, THE lady would like
some bread" In any restaurant
where you and she go often and
know the waiter well. you would
say. Mrs. Smith would like some
bread"

Handy Hints
Buys Washable Garments the
Correct Size

Recently. mothers have found
out that they do not have to buy
child's wash dress a size larger
than necessary to allow for shrink
age. Modern mothers realize how
sensitive children are about clothes.
and make a point Of buying wash
things with a label which assures
them that shrinkage is limited to
one per cent, so small an amount
that it cannot affect the size or
fit of the garment. This means
that she buys the garment the
right size and the child is proud
Of her new dress, from start to
finish.

Community Health
By S. R. Berenberg, MD.
Director, Department of Public Healt

Many Of us have heard neighbors say I'll not
take my children to the Public Health Clinic because
public school and these parents do not feel their
education is provi ded by chari ty. public
education has been accepted for longer period of
time community service, paid for by the people
themselves through taxation, regards school,
ing "charity service"
Actually it is not so long ago that the American
people decided that general illiteracy detri-
ment to the economic and social life of country
and instituted public, taxsupported institutions to
provide learning for ALL Public health facilities
represent recent realization of the American
people that the health of the nation is the RESPONSE
bility of all and not the of individuals
alone or Of family units. So today public heal
stands at the threshold of the road toward its two
fold aim.
public health insti tutions are concerned pri-
marily with preventative medical procedures
caio in all health matters. This broad definition
of aims embraces such subdivisions sanitati on
sect control, research, etc.
A patient with an inflamed appendix or a broken
leg, though he may be desperately ill, is
to else. However, certain communi cable dis
such di phtheria, tuberculosis and syphil-
is, are the Immediate concern of existing public
health agencies because the sick person with of
these diseases becomes potential to others
and the whole social groupthe village, city,
tually the ton, is endangered.
And the group protect itself Whole only
by isolating the sick person. by taking advantage Of
all imm1nization knowledge available today and By
supporting, through taxation, the personnel and
eqli pment to accomplish this projection.
Consequently there can be no stigma of charity at
tached to acceptance of any all of protec-
tion which set up in such tax-supported public
health agencies. On the contrary it is the duty of
every citizen to take advantage of these servi
that he helps to intain only for his sake,
but for the sake of the community of which he is
a part.
The reduction in the number Of of comuni-
cable diseases In this country through public
health measures, has resulted in actual saving of
money, we'll in increased good health for Amer
leans.
When next we hear our neighbors hesttating to send
their children to the Public Health Clinic, let
them that they should eagerly accept the
vices they paying for to protect the health of
their families and their community.
