how they can make their influence
felt in the legislative field.

AAUW branches frequently have
studied the needs of local schools,
only to find that good schools
were not to be had without a
better school code or change
in tax legislation.
"They have surveyed causes for
juvenile delinqency-and discov-
cred that poor housing in de-
linquency areas was not likely to
be improved without new housing

They have analyzed interna-

that reciprocal trade agreements

Of women-and found laws on the

ems participation in economic and

BY MILDRED KREBS

AT ONE OF our recent home
demonstration club meetings we had
for our project Courtesy in the
Home" Mrs Dora Smith, our home
demonstration agent, gave the dis
cussion and was very much i'm
pressed. 1 thought how nice it would
be if everyone could have heard the
discussion and would remember to
do the little everyday courtesies.
Most of us are courteous to an
extent, but there are few of us who
could not improve upon our man
ners if we just gave them little
thought and consideration.
We were taught to be mannerly
as we grew up, to say ''Please" and
''Thank you," not to push and shove,
and not to be cruel to animals. Some
times as l observe the public 1 won
der if most of us haven't forgotten
the manners we were taught at
mothers knee. We push ahead of
others to be waited on first at the
grocery store. We forget to write a
''Thank you" note to Aunt Mary who
was kind enough to remember our
birthday. We all know better but
in the rush of modern living we
sometimes forget the little things"
that make us "big" in the eyes of
others.
The discussion woke me up on sew
eral points and 1 am going to try to
be more courteous in the home as
well as Gin company"
AS Mrs. Smith pointed out, the best
way to teach courtesy is by example.
Perhaps if some of us go about set
ting good examples, others will fol-
low. Mrs. Smith gave several ways
to teach children to be courteous.
Such as telling them how to meet
situations before they come to them,
by entertaining children's friends
with simple parties. Quarelling and
pickering among adults make more
of an impression on children than
we realize.

Little Late ExcusobIe
Dear Mrs. Post: My son received
an invitation to the town dance,
given each year for the younger
people. 1t stipulates to let So
and-so chairman, dance COM
mittee) know before a certain
date, which is about ten days be-
fore the dance. AS we can't tell
definitely yet if he can go and
don't want to say no if he can.
would it be very improper for him
to send his answer several days
after the date mentioned?
Answer: Your son could tele-
phone the chairman of the COM
mittee, explain the situation and
ask if it will be possible to send
his reply a few days later. He
probably will say yes. But if he
hesitates it will be best for your
SON to decline.
