Modern
Marriage
Office Parties Cause
Plenty Of Holiday
Discord in Family
DR.. Paul Ponenoe

Please, please. DIR. Popenoe. Mrs.
F. entreats. please write some
thing about these terrible Christ
mas parties that some companies
give for their staff, and from
which wives are frequently ex-
cluded.
THE firm for which my hus-
band works is one that always has
such a party. The head of the
firm never attends, but the Junior
executives and others carry on |
disgracefully with the stenogra-
pliers and women employees. My |
husband always comes home half |
drunk and smeared with lipstick.
I think a company ought to be
ashamed to allow these things to
take place, much less to encourage
them in its own staff"
So do I, Mrs. F. Most of them
may be perfectly harmless
though I can't imagine that they
are beneficial. But at the Amer
ican Institute of Family Relations
we have dealt with so many un-
pleasant results from them that
I think the self respecting heads
of any organization ought to
think twice before giving them.
The general pattern is pretty
much the same everywhere. A
party is held either at the office
or elsewhere, but employees do not
bring their own wives or hus-
bands. Liquor is often too plenti-
full and-in the ones of which we
hear-the standards of good taste
and behavior are more and more
disregarded as the evening con-
tinues. Men make passes" at
the girls-something that they
would never think of, ordinarily,
and the girls often encourage such
advances from men of higher rank
in the organization.
If I were of an organization
that gives such parties, I would
consider these facts:
l. AS a businessman, I am not
promoting good morale in my
own organization.
2. AS a citizen, I am not
strengthening marriage and fam
lily life, but very possibly weaken
ing both.
Then, I'd find some other way
to encourage Christmas cheer
among the members Of my staff.
We have dealt with a number
of homes, the breakage of which
could be traced directly to these
Christmas parties. We have had
many complaints from girls about
the way they were treated, and
many complaints from absent
wives about the way their hus-
bands were treated!
What's the. good Of it all? I
agree heartily with you, Mrs. F..
its time for a change Of policy!

BIRTHDAY PARTY.
From Mrs. G.. w. A., College
pnrL.

PARK
This is pertaining to children S
birthday parties. Parties for small
children. if held in the afternoon
or evening, interfere with a child's S
routine, as to sleep and meals. So,
I have found that by having either
q luncheon or supper party it
makes the children happier. When
my daughter was 3 years old
had luncheon party, SO to speak,
and we planned it as follows: The
guests arrived at 10 am. and we
held it in the recreation room of
our basement. Children of this
age are usually accompanied by
mothers, so I had SO to the party,
but it went off fine. First. the
children played with toys, then a
few supervised games were held.
After which songs were sung lin
their own cute way. To quiet
them down before eating, a help
ing mother read them a story.
The table was prepared and they
marched to the birthday table.
The menu consisted of creamed
chicken Gin a patty, deyiled eggs.
potato chips, milk, birthday cake
and ice cream. All of the children
ate quite well.
The party ended about l pm.
so the children could return home
for their afternoon maps. They
were given balloons (that had been
used for decorations) to take home
together with paper hats. For her
4th birthday we had a supper
party starting at pm. and ending
at pm, which was planned in
much the same way as the lunch
con party. 1 have passed the idea
along to friends and they all like
the plan fine. A Christmas party
would also be fine as the above.

FERN PROBLEM?
From Mrs. N. /. r., Hyattsuale. }
Please help me save my fern.
1t was rooted from one of my
mothers and I am so anxious to
keep it. My sister gave it to me
last June. 1t did fine all summer,
then when I brought it into the
house in September the trouble
started. In late october I re-
potted the plant and found a
fishing worm and grub worm Il
guess that's what one would call
it,. There was also another worm
about an inch long and very thin
and red. 1t moved very rapidly.
discarded that soil and used some
other, to which I added about a
tablespoon of lime and soaked
the roots in a lime solution q
tablespoons of lime to a quart of
water) for about 10 minutes. I'm
afraid used to much lime. The
color is fading and the tops of the
fern are dying and no new shoots
are coming. Should I keep it in
the sun and well watered? Is il
true that the little balls on the tip
OF the branches will die II touched

tFTom Mrs. L. f.. L., Coral HittSJ
Mrs. j. l.. L. Having lived on
Okinawa in l947, hope I can
help you. If you are flying over
shortly take every kind of rain
wear (warm. water-repellent rain
coat. and a fairly heavy or mid
season topcoat. Cotton head
scarves are useful in the rainy
season. Rains are heavy and go
far into spring. Suits and ordinary
sport and dress clothes will carry
you through until summer Cat
which time you will have your
luggage which has been shipped
over). Winter is not too cold, but
quite damp. Things mildew badly
Especially shoes and leather
goods, and woolens shrink. But
there are dry closets" for that
purpose with large light globes
burning continually.
Summers are very hot, so take
plenty of cool play clothes and
swim togs. The most difficult
item to order from the States is
shoes (hard to fit by remote con-
troD and they wear out quickly on
the coral.
At the time my husband and I
were there household items were
in short supply, but that may be
alleviated by now. You will find
a fairly nice social life awaiting
you, as there are clubs and many
activities arranged for your par
ticipation. BY all means. be sure
to take your sense Of humor-
you'll need it.

,T7TNICR- SENIOR BANQUET AND PROM APRIL 28
 AT SEWARD HIGH SCHOOL

Aloha was the way the jul nior class of Seward High School chose to say goodbye to the seniors at the annual Junior Senior Banquet that was held Saturday, April 28, in the Home Economies room of the high school,
 The banquet was probably the most elaborate affair the stu dents of Seward have seen in some time. The theme that was carried out for the banquet was an imaginary Hawaiian least. Members of the freshman and sophomore classes served the dlnner dressed in print skirts ana lowered shirts with leis around their necks. Hawaiian music was played throughout tue evening ana artificial flow CTS and grass adorned the room itself, while on the table were bouquets of real flowers. A palm tree was painted on mir TOT and drawings of Hawaiian lads and maidens were on the walls. The island atmosphere was completed by the lels that the guests were given to wear.
 The dinner was prepared by the mothers of the members ol the junior class. It consisted of grapefruit cocktail, stuffed to- mato salad, turkey and all the trimmings, followed by cake and ice cream.
 The senior class history, pro- phecy and will were read and caused many laugh. Little Miss Debbie Brown entertained the crowd with hula dance and Brenda Johnson also danced a hula for the guests.
 Following the banquet. the entire high school joined the juniors and seniors at the prom in the study hall Ih, room was beautifully decorated in red and white, the senior class colors, and a huge rose, representing the senior flower, was painted for the background
 The faculty and members of the school board and their hus- bands and wives attended the banquet. The seniors will long remember the evening as a mos" wonderful one, a most fitting going-aWay party for any class.
