Emily Post

A divorce asks: "1s it wrong
for me to continue wearing my
engagement and wedding rings
if I want to? My friends tell me
it is wrong because according to
law I'm no longer married. Mother
insists I should wear my rings for
the sake Of my young daughter.
I want to do what is right, of
course"
There is no fixed rule. Custom
arily, a divorce either discards
wedding ring entirely or else
transfers it with her engagement
ring to her right hand. This an
nounces that she was married,
but is so no longer.
Business Thonk You
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
did a favor for a man and in re-
turn he took us both out for a
big evening: dinner, theater and
supper. club. We had most Won
derful time. I've wondered if I
should write him a thank-you
note, or whether thank you at
the end of the evening was suf-
ficient.
Answer: Thanking him at the
end of the evening was quite
enough, but there is no reason
why you may not write him a
brief additional note of thanks if
you would like to.
Mothers invitation Necessary
Dear Mrs. Post: I work in a
big city and a boy I've met has
asked me to go home upstate with
him for a week end. His mother
hasn't invited me but he said
his family would be glad to have
me. Must I have her specific
invitation and if so how do I get
this idea across to him?
Answer: Tell him frankly that
you cannot possibly go without
having an invitation from his
mother.

The C.adGs RoeGes
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Haven't you often wondered how a rumor gets started? We'll, happened to be in on the be- ginning of one this week. Everyone who has ever been to my house knows that it has way of piling up cats and kit tens as fast as the snow piles up around my front steps in the winter time. It so happens, also, that one of my favorite nick names is Granny"
 We'll, one night recently, my prettiest cat presented me with a beautiful new family. I had just told it to friend who called across the room to another, Granny is having kittens!" Now, there was just one other person who heard that exclama- tion. But he must have associ- ated it with the slang expression meaning that having kittens is to be in a state of having tan trum, or being very angry, or raving about something unplea- san. Anyway, I was asked the next day, What are you mad about noW?" So, you see, know where one rumor started There is another rumor that has spread like wildfire among the school children this week. Some child claims to have read it in the paper" that there is a case of polio in the Seward hos pital. The story even reports that the case is man who came into town on a boat, and fell sick with polio.
 I checked with Dr. Sellers, city health officer this morning. He said that if there were case of polio in Seward, that he cer- tainly would have heard about it. He has not. If it were true, he would tell me so after check ing.
 So, kids, and parents, THERE IS NO POLIO in Seward. Stop your worrying, and kill the ru- nor. It is no more true than the rumor about me going about mad" at something all the time, when truly, am the most good natured, easy-going creature inn aginable.
 No mad-no polio. Only kit tens!

Facts on Aging
Population

Washington.-Here are some OF
the facts on our aging population
brought out at the National Con
ference on Aging:
/. Today there are about 112
million persons aged 65 and ovei
in the population. The Bureau OF
the Census estimates that by 1866
this group will number almost Is
million.
2. During the past half-century
men 65 years and over have ceased
to outnumber women of that age.
3. Some states have more older
persons than others. In 1913 the
number of persons 65 years old
and over varied from per 100 in
New Mexico to 10 per 100 in New
Hampshire. New England and West
North Central States tended ia
have the highest ratios in the'coun-
try, the South the lowest.
4. Widows over So outnumbel
widOwers.
5. Very few persons 65 and over
live in institutions.
6. About 3l2 million of persons
over 65 had no money income of
their own during l948; Of the 7l2
million with some money income,
almost one-third had less than
$500.
7. Employment is the major in
come source; many older people are
selfemployed; many older workers
leave the labor force.
8. Older people have had less
schooling, suffer more illness, and
chronic diseases are the leading
causes Of death in the older age
groups.

are aware of the pitfalls, think of
reasons why things can't be done.
1t never dawns on women that the
job is impossible, so they go ahead
and do it," he says.
How to Help
In addition to taking Jobs, if
that seems how they can help best
or if they have skills which are
needed-or if they need jobs for
economic reasons when the major
breadwinner leaves - there are
many things women, and only wo-
men, can do. Most of these things,
it seems to us, they can do by be-
ing plainly and old fashionedly
neighborly and people of good will.
Whatever they do, if they are to
do it well, must start in their
hearts. They must believe it is
worthwhile.
When their hearts are "right"
and their brains are functioning,
women are instinctively good
lneighbors and consider the whole
community their neighborhood. It's
then that they know exactly what
to do about such things as over
buying, getting theirs" writing
complaining letters to their men in
the services, taking care of child
ren so others can work, buying
from under the counter, spreading
base rumors, helping out in civil
defense, offering their help wher-
ever it is needed, and many other
things. A thousand regulations
from Washington can't teach a
woman about most Of these things.
A Happy New Year
Tradition in times such as those
that lie ahead, grows even more
precious. Traditional h o / d a y S
mean even more to us in days like
these. This year all of us face the
uncertainty. But the old certainties
are there too.
The typical American family is
the guardian Of these traditions
and certainties. 1t has a big job
ahead. All Of US will need all the
courage, tolerance, and hope we can
muster when carrying out our New
Years resolutions.
May we wish each and everyone
of you a "TraditionaP Happy New

|NLRB Orders
Election For
Church Firm

Nashville, Tenn. (LPA) - The
National Labor Relations Board has
ruled that the Sunday School Board
of the Southern Baptist Convention
is engaged in interstate commerce
within the meaning of the Taft
Hartley act. AS result the board
has ordered an election to deter
mine whether the employees wish
to be represented by the AFL In
ternational Printing Pressmen's
Union.
Board members John NJ. Hous-
ton, Abe Murdock and Paul L.
Styles voted to order the election.
Chairman Paul M. Herzog and
James J. Reynolds, Jr., dissented.
The employer argued that as non
profit organization engaged in
purely religious activities it is not
engaged in interstate commerce
within the meaning of the act. The
NLRB majority held that "the in
terstate sale and shipment of the
employers publications is clearly
commerce" The majority added
that "as this board and the courts
have held, it is immaterial that the
employer may be nonprofit or
ganization, or that its activities
may be motivated by considerations
other than those applicable to en-
terprises which are, in the gener-
ally accepted sense, commercial"
The employer edits, publishes,
and by gift or sale distributes reli-
gious literature to churches, Sun
day schools, and Bible schools af-
filiated with the Southern Baptist
Convention. 1t operates a retail
book store in Nashville and has
field staff which helps organize
churches and Sunday schools.

All this adds up to one principal
fact. Senator Taft is the leading
contender for the Republican presi-
Dental candidacy in 1862. In the
event of his nomination, the party
will reflect the views and principles
of the man. If the labor leadership
wants to fight Taft it must, in
addition to having a really worth
while candidate, deal constructively
with the ideas and policies adj
vanced by one Of the most brilliant
political brains of America. The
strategy of setting up the straw
figure of a "hopeless, foggy reac-
tionary" and then knocking it down
is decidedly out of date.

Trend To Single
Party State Seen

New York City (ILNS).-Amer
lea is on the road to becoming &
single party state, writes Llewellyr
White in the December 26 issue OF
The Reporter, unless the politicians
find ways to offer the voters clear
er programs and issues than Were
offered last Nov. Z.
This warning appears in Whites
article High Policy and Low Poll
tics" which asks what, exactly
was the mandate" the voters are
supposed to have handed the poll
ticians on election day. The voters
he says, were presented with noisy
fragments of opinion, but there
was no clear-cut party program
and the issues were obscure. This
political pluralism, White points
out, does not end with complete
augmentation. "What are still call
ed the major parties" he writes
"become consultations Of 20, and
the 20 break into an infinite num-
Der of unpolarized political planets
until one single party be-
comes the receiver in democratic
bankruptcy"
"The ebb and flow of popular
clamor," White continues, "for an
Eisenhower to be nominated by all
parties and factions-within-parties
and elected by delirious acclama-
ton, betrays this very sickness of
democracy"

United Mine Workers Releases
Xmas Cheer, Mum On Sterilization

/ washington tLF a - a DTedh III
s a | e m a t e d negotiations for a
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year was seen tonight in state
ments by spokesmen for the United
Mine Workers of America. Union
sources proposed that seasons
Igreeting be extended to everyone. b"
SO began the Christmas card
sent by Allied Syndicates, Inc, OPP
orators Of a news and publicity of
flee here for the United Mine
Workers. Card was in the form of
press release for Z p. m, Dec. "a.
Continuing in the same vein, the
card said:
"The move came after IL months
of deadlock talks. The last Merry
Christmas agreement expired at
midnight, Dec. rs, 1949. A one-week
extension of Seasons greetings
Iapsed following round-the-clocll
activities which started Dec. 81,
1949, and dragged into the dawn
of Jan. /, 1850.
"'The time has come to lay our
Christmas cards on the table, said
Justin Mccarthy, director of the
UMWA News Bureau. we propose
that seasons greetings be extend
to everyone. A New Year contract
should be signed within a week.
"Rose Apolloni, assistant, said
there is no justification in the de-
mand by some negotiators that
benefits of the Christmas season
should go only to employees Of
firms that sign the New Year
agreement.
However, said Bernard Katz,
assistant, this is not a major
hurdle. We think the spirit of
Santa Claus will bring a meeting
of minds within hours"
The release" was headed; "Sea-
sons Greetings Agreement Immin-
ent, UMWA Spokesman Say"
Observers noted that the card
failed to disclose what kind Of a
"New Year" contract UMWA Pre-
sident John l.. Lewis would request
next spring when the present soft
coal agreement can be opened for
wages. Nor did it reveal Lewis
views on wage stabilization.
Lewis and the UMWA aren't
members of the United Labor Po-
licS Committee which was formed
by the AFL, CIO, Machinists and
Railway Labor Executives Asso-
citation recently to ride herd on the
defense program, and which has
presented its stabilization views to
the White House.
The soft-coal contract can be
opened April | on 30 days notice
by either party. Accordingly, the
Mine Workers are expected to
make their wants known by March
l--if the industry doesn't offer
them an acceptable pay adjustment
before that date. The industry may
move first, some believe, because
it's expected to prosper from the
defense program and suddenly in
creased overseas demand.

this: the American people elect

whom perceived the same perils in
precisely the same terms or offer

If there was "a mandate, White
