the usual case, Champaign will

good citizens who will help make
1t success by giving something.
Many of US lack the information
of just how much the various
funds are needed TO help make

sire. We have little knowledge
of the vast sums of money that
have been given from time to

MODERN ETIQUETTE

@. How does one give a cocktail
party?
A. Invitations to these affairs
r very informal, usually in per-
son or by telephone. The usual
hours are from five to seven pm,
or sometimes later to suit a special
occasion Cocktails and appetizers
are served. A thoughtful hostess
will also provide fruit juice for
those whose who prefer it. Refresh
ments and conversation provide
the entertainment.
@. Should one ever select a wed
ding gift that is something only
the bride can use, if one is not
acquainted with the bridegroom?
A. No; always select something
that can be used and enjoy by
both the bride and bridegroom.
Q. Should the man or the wo-
man make the move to stop for
conversation when they meet each
other on the street?
A. It is Up to the man to do this

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES SHOULD SEE
L SIDES
WHEN THE HOUSE Wa,

WHEN THE HOUSE Ways and Means Committee sail
ed from New York last week, the spokesman Of the group,
Representative Walter A. Lynch said that eight days would
be spent between Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in hear
ings, three of those days in the Islands. Congress had voted
to extend social security to the Virgin Islands, provided we
desired it, and could set up the necessary machinery. Wheth-
er we need these and what can be done about them right
here in the Islands will be determined by the hearings con-
Quoted through the three days. With such an opportunity
there should be no question that the benefits of social security
will come.
KNOWING H SCORE, the Public Welfare Depart
ment, fully armed with the necessary statistics and informa-
ton should be able to enlighten the Committee on every as
pect of the problem, and send them away fully convinced
that we are ready, willing and able. 1t would be little less
than a tragedy to permit these opportunities to 90 by. Too
long have we been neglected, and as a result have had to
leave the impression that we were at the foot of the ladder,
always seeking deficiency appropriations. Not that more
agencies would wipe deficiency completely off the slate, but
it would offer great help.
WHILE 1T Is true that the Ways and Means Committee
will devote the bulk of its time to a determination of the social
security question so far as we are concerned, there should be
opportunity for other matters to be presented, for no group
in Washington is more fitted to take definite steps about our
financial condition thanthis Committee. Good it is that they
will see TOR themselves; that they will visit the principal spots.
Of interest, and conduct hearings during which much valuable
information will be passed on to them.
AS o THE other committee, there may be little
chance for work along their line for they are the House Edu-
cation and Labor Committee, and their principal duty is to
look into the possibility of raising the average insular wage
in Puerto Rico. Because we have relatively few employed in
interstate commerce, and manufacture precious little for ex-
port, this committed interest will be secondary, but at least
they will see, and having seen will be in a position to know
