Could some one please help
me? I am searching for in

am trying to learn to type

HOUSEwARMING?
r.. w. T.. Falls Church.

NASs " = OSNo SfbOf Oit/
My sister will soon move to
her new home, her first house,
and some Of her friends have
asked her If she planned to
have a housewarming.
A question has arisen. A
relative told her that it is not
proper to give a housewarm-
ing party yourself, but rather
to have some one else give it
in your name, as in a baby or
wedding shower. That is not
my impression. Isn't a house
warming like an open house
where you invite all of your
friends over to see your new
home and spend the evening
celebrating the happy event?
Will the readers please help
us resolve this problem and
also offer suggestions for re-
freshmentS' and entertainment,
etc?

SILVERFISH?
MRS. j. A. M, Alexandria
On several occasions sug-
gestions have appeared in
RICH for the elimination of
silverfish. Never having en-
countered these pests, l failed
to record the information, but
recently have found several
very large insects. so I would
appreciate help as to how to
get rid of them. Also. where
could they have come from
when we never had them be-
fore and our house was just
into it a year ago?

TENTH ANNIVERSARY2

TENTH ANNIVERSARY?
mrs. NJ. NJ. M, KnorDille, Md
I hope to celebrate my 10th
wedding anniversary in De-
cember, but need some help
with plans. Some one has
suggested that punch and
everything should be self-serv-
ice. I think there should be
some one to serve. Which is
standard? If I have a friend to
help, should she be introduced
to all the guests? I recently
attended an "at-home" and
was not introduced to the
helper. What is a good deco
rating motif? My husbands
and my name?
What is the wording of the
invitation? I plan to invite
clubs we both belong to, but
extend many invitations by
phone and word of mouth.
Should the affair be termed
open house or at home or
doesn't it matter?
Would paper plates and
cups be appropriate? I have
enough glass dishes, but this
would entail washing about
three times, as I anticipate
about 100 guests. Is it ap-
propriate for me to set the
time? For example, the club
from l to 3; the church from
3 to 5. etc?
AS for food to serve, what
can you suggest? Hor d'oeu-
vres, canapes and punch, or
should there also be cake and
sandwiches? Candy or mints
maybe? I have no silver plat
ters; would glass be all right?
We don't want any gifts.
How should this be worded in
the invitation?
A friend suggested a beautl-
full bow and ribbon across the
opened kitchen door as a polite
way of saying "stay out of the
Kitchen" Would this be Of
fensive? Would it be neces-
sary?
I'd like a stand similar to
that used for visitors sigma
lures at funerals for my guest
book. Is that done? Please sug-
gest an appropriate but mex
penSive center piece. Since
this will be in the day as we'll
as the evening, will my silver
candelabra be suitable?
I feel as though I am asking
a lot of tiresome questions,
but I've never had any previous
experience in this realm, so I
really need help. I will GER
tainly appreciate any sugges-
tionS.

mother and her influence on his
life; Sugar Ray Robinson will tell
you he couldn't get along without
his mothers advice; and Jackie
Robinson won't make move with
out consulting his wife, Rachel
These are only a few.
With so many women playing
such a vital role in the private
lives of their menfolk, it is only
natural that one should slip up now
and then, and that's just what
Ruth Dresser did to Charlie. Of
course, the majority of the sports
fans, whether Brooklyn rooters in
Charlie DreSsen's cor ner or not,
seem to feel that any manager who
wins two pennants in three years,
and loses the third only after a
hot play-off, deserves to get the
nod from the front office for a
longer term than a year. This is
especially true, they reason, be-
cause other managers whose teams
made poor showings came up with
nice fat contracts for two and three
years.
But then, goaded on by his wife
and some of his friends, Chuck
Dresser wrote letter, and it
made Walter O'Malley mad. He
called attention to other rough
deals he felt he got, and called for
a showdown. That's when O'Malley
saw red. 1t is difficult to under
stand how anybody who owned a
team with Brooklyn's record could
get mad, but O'Malley did, and
slammed the door in Dressen's face.
Dressen's case was a good one,
but it seems you can't always
throw the truth in a guys face, es-
pecially when he holds the purse
strings. Maybe Charlie would never
have sent the letter on his own,
but he says it wasn't really his
wife's fault, since they make all
decisions together. Anyhow, this
seems to be one time when Mrs.
Ruth Dresser shoulda "stayed" in
bed.

CHANCE TO HAVE
YOUR CATTLE TESTED

DR.. T. F, Zweigart, State Vet
erinarian, of the N. c. Depart
ment of Agriculture, will arrive
in Dare County. Monday, October
26, at 400 P. M. and will leave
Friday afternoon, October 80.
Many owners of cattle in Dare
County have not had the privil-
eye of free testing of their cattle
for T. B. or Bangs disease for
some time. Therefore, arrange
ments were made through DR..
H. j. Rollins. Director of State
Veterinarians, to have one of the
Veterinarians of his department
spend a week in Dare County to
make the necessary test for the
various cattle owners of the
county.
All who are interested in hav-
ing their cattle tested should con-
tact r. S. Bob" Smith, Farm
Agent, Manteo, N. c., or tele-
phone 112-W or 177-J.
Test for T. B. of cattle will be
done Monday afternoon and all
day Tuesday only, but tests fol
Bangs" will be made any time
during the week. The T. B. test
requires a recheck on the Bird
day, to determine if the animal
is carrier. Tests for either dis
ease will not be made on animals
under 6 months of age.
Both of these diseases affect
the milk and can cause T. B. and
undulant fever among humans

THE WAYSIDE
PULPIT
By ED EARNHARDT

Last week I paid my taxes.
Some people think that preachers
are exempt from taxes. They are
not. They are just exempt from
big incomes that call for taxes.
And yet they are the richest pau
pers in the community. They
have entry into the homes of
all the people. All the doors are
opened to them-even the dining
room doors.
A great columnist once said,
Poor people means poor minds"
Another big man said, do not
fear that fools will get possession
of money because fools cannot
make money. These observa-
tons are unfair in their infer
ences. Many very wise, capable
men have little money because
of the fact that they give their
minds to producing rather than
acquiring wealth.
o. Henry, Edgar Allen Poe,
Robert Burns, Daniel Defoe and
Oliver Goldsmith were under
nourished. Thomas jefferson
died poor. Woodrow Wilson
borrowed $500 to move from the
Jersey Governors Mansion to the
White House. Abraham Lincoln
apJ Androuy TooLcoo had M
worry about income tax. We
preachers feel at home in this
company. John the Baptist was
a great evangelist but he lived on
grasshoppers and beeswax. He
was the first preacher to wear a
cut-a-way. 1t was a leather girdle
cut away from a second hand set
of harness.

FISHING
Continued from Page One)

Hatteras Hotel at Avon, stated
that Autumn business was I'M
usually good and that most of
his guests were fishermen. "They
are catching plenty of channel
bass and other species of fish
that swim in the SURF" he said,
and most of the catches are being
made along the beach at Avon
or between the Cape and Gull
Shoals"
Bob Fuquay, who with his wife
is now operating the business
established at Rodanthe by the
late Ray Gregory, stated that
surf fishermen were catching
plenty of channel bass along the
surf from Oregon Inlet south
ward. Fuquay serves as guide for
many of the parties.
Biggest fish of the week re-
ported from the Hatteras surf was
a 541s pound channel bass taken
by Mrs. Elizabeth Brownell of
Alexandria on Monday. She land
ed her big bass on 28-pound test
line in the surf at Pea Island,
three miles south of Oregon Inlet.
A spot check of the Hatteras area
on Wednesday, conducted by
Tourist Bureau, reflected that
more than 100 automobiles were
parked along the new highway
by anglers fishing the surf. If
each auto had only three anglers
aboard, the total would be 800 or
more persons fishing and this is
daily occurrence at this season.
