Q. How r invitations to the
second marriage of a young wi
dow Worded?
A. In the same way as the usual
invitation, in the name of her pa
rents or nearest relatives, as, "Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Johnson request
the honor of your presence at the
marriage of their daughter, Mary
johnson Smith,, ETC." You will
note, OF course, that the full name
of the bride is used.
Q. When writing a thank YOU"
letter to a relative who has sent
a check as a birthday gift, should
one say how the money is going
to be used?
A. Yes; it is always nice to do
this whenever any gift of money
is received?
@. Is it obligatory that a host
or hostess meet their out-of-town
guest at the railroad station?
A. Most certainly. This is their
first duty.

PERHAPS we are begged
down in the mistaken belief
that music is not worthwhile,
and that food and clothing
should always take first, last
and all places. But this is far
from the truth. The slogan of
Etude, a well-known music
magazine is: Music Study
Exalts Life" And how true.
It is for this reason that some
form of music finds itself on
every well-balanced and care
fully prepared school curricu-
lum. And over above this, mum
berleSs cities throughout the
length and breadth of America
appropriate funds for music
organizations. In a recent
news comment on the 50th
anniversary of the Philadel-
Symphony Orchestra, it
was brought out that the city
of Philadelphia had appropria-
ted 100000 tothe orchestra.
And this is just an example of
the extent to which people
will go to keep alive the cul-
tural side of their life. No such
extensive idea could be enter
tanned here, but there is moth
ing that should keep us from
bringing alive again the values
of music, both vocal and in
Strumental.

LET US RETURN TO MUSIC
ST. CROIX IS ASLEEP, has been for a lol

ST. CROIX IS ASLEEP, has been for a long time. Little,
if anything, is accomplished, and about all that can be said
is that people live from day to day, and as the young people
graduate from high school, those who are fortunate enough,
they run off to New York. People who visit us wonder what
keeps us alive, as the humdrlm continues with monotonous
regularity. Yet, there was a day, we are told, when the enter
prisng genius and enthusiasm of St. Croix asserted itself, and
things happened. For example, music took a much more pro-
minent place in the cultural life of the island, with two bands,
one in each town, several dance orcheStras, and a number of
outstanding church chors.
MUSIC HAS ALWAYS been one of our strong points,
and we should never allow it to lag. There is the talent, for
program after program young people offer musical numbers
that do credit to themselves, their families and their teachers,
to say nothing Of the Island. In a place such as this, there
could easily be a far-szed symphony or salon orchestra, and
this is no laughing matter. Town after town in the United
States, no larger than ours, with no more talent, yet these
boast fine little orchestras, providing serious music, and its
exalting influence upon community life. No one can tell us
that there could not be, right here, a fine little orchestra. All
that is needed is the desire and a little effort. Then there is
a great need for brass bands. Again and again we are faced
with parades, professions and public celebrations, but fall
short because we have no organized, fumctioning band. When
ever these occasions arise, a few faithful citizens, refusing to
admit that the art of music is lost, get together and come up
with an abbreviated version Of a band.
EFFORT need not confine itself to instrument
tai music. There is no reason whatever why there should not
be well organized gee clubs. This would provide our young
men with a worthwhile outlet, at the same time opening up
opportunities for acquaintance with some of the worlds best
music. Then, as may be found in community after community,
people get together and just sing for the sheer pleasure and
satisfaction of being together in a worthwhile effort. This
comes easier when there are small groups, such as quartets,
which meet frequently and try out their voices.

christmas Should Be
s65 Days In a Year"

Yes, Christmas should be 365
days in year-366 in leap year.
We all konw it only comes once
a year. When that time rolls
around the corner and either stops
and slides beneath your door, or
passes you by like the mailman
does when you're looking anxiously
for some mail, you're at peace
and sweet serenity with the world,
and all inhabitants thereof.
Smiles light up most every hui
man beings face, like the sunshine
protruding from behind the dark
clouds FOUNDER in the spacious un-
limited heavens; these smiles are
radiantly illuminating only once
each year. Now if only these smiles
that beam on Christ's birthday
would shine each and every God
sent day, this old worn and torn,
weary and dreary earth would
realize an everlasting, reverend
ing. Yuletide. If I smile, if 1 prac-
tice-as well as preach and teach
the golden rule of doing unto my
fellowman as would want him to
do unto me, only during the Christ.
mas season, then I have Committed
an unforgivabel sin and a crime
against my fellowman. I am then
found guilty and sentanced to one
day and one season to smile and
be a friend to man.
Shakespeare said: IF I could
not laugh, 1 should die and decay
beneath mire and clay" A once a
year happy human is like a once
a week Christian who smiles and
shouts GLORY Hallelulahl" .on Sun
day and raises hell with himself
and everyone else the rest of the
week.
Just the Christmas Word alone
means most everything upon this
wicked old topsy-turvy, vica-versa
world. Today more than any other
time in history, the peoples of our
world are unaware of which direc-
ton they are travelling. Man has
los all sense of direction. He has
gone stark, raving mad. He has
lost his Cherries" his balance,
his fore-thought, his human physic,
made in Gods image. Man is fall
ing downstairs instead of following
his normal procedure of climbing
upstairs. He has switched off his
ignition and, because he has sue
cessfully coasted downhill, the fool |
is actually trying to coast uphill. |
With his eyes wide open he's |

In the meantime, numerous other

to have been paid for by the Rob-
inson Fund-cost, unknown.
The new fund, Forkins said, will
be used for a Bill Robinson heart
clinic at either Harlem or Bellevue
Hospital. A mammoth benefit show
has been planned for May 8, 1850,
at Madison Square Garden for the
fund.

Low Bors Negroes

DRESDEN, Ontario-(ANP)-
White citizens Of this eastern town
in Ontario, the birthplace of the
original Uncle Tom" made famous
in Harriet Beecher Stoves novel,
Uncle Toms Cabin" have taken
on a racial superiority outlook.
They voted in the civic election to
bar the large Negro population
from the towns restaurants. It has
been a debated issue for several
months.
The barring of Negroes from
restaurants was the main issue of
the election. The final tabulation
showed that the 1000 residents
voted five to one to ban Negroes
entry to local eating places. Ne
groes make up 20 per cent of the
towns population.
