cen Etiquette
BY Kite TurmelI

. ~
Teen-agers will spend more
for Christmas presents this
year than ever before, market
experts predict. Today, over
half Of all students earn extra
money from part-time work.
Whatever you spend, you want
to be sure you select suitable
presents, in top-taste. This Is
your Holiday Gift-G Guide for
Dates and Friends.
Strictly -for-F Friendship Pres
ents.
To give or not to give? When
Is 1t proper for a girl to give
a present to a man?
Suzie met Jack at senior
high this fall. They date, but
are nowhere near the going
steady" stage. BY grapevine.
Suzie hears that Jack has her
present all wrapped up. Suzie
wonders: Will Jack expect a
present from her?
No. Usually, first Christmas
gift is from boy, only. Ex-
change Of presents before you
go steady is not customary. In
return for q gift from a man,
ali a girl "oWes' Is a warm,
sincere Thank you" Unless
you are such good friends that
it seems natural to exchange
presents, it's better to skip
the girl-to-boy gift.
Betty and Dick are "pen
pals" They met during her
vacation, while she was visit
ing In his home town. Betty
does not expect a present
from Dick. But Betty would
like to send him her new pho

tograph as q surprise, before
Christmas. Should she?
Yes. Photograph or enlarged
snapshot is one thing q girl
may give to a man any time
she thinks he would like one.
II it is not wrapped like q
holiday present, it Is not hint
for a Christmas gift in return.
Comment, by note or when
photograph Is handed to q boy,
is casual: II had this taken
for our yearbook" Or: "Monn
talked me into posing for this
hope you like it."
Whenever q girl wants to
remember a boy with token
of friendship, an artistic greet
ing card, chosen with care, is
an ideal solution.
Gifts Of Sentiment
What's "fair exchange" for
boy-girl Christmas presents?
Mary and John have gone
steady for a year and seven
months. Mary knows that gen.
erous John will give her some
thing big. Should she splurge
for an impressive present?
No. His should be the topper.
Some girls who 60 steady figure
that the girl should spend
about one third or one half
as much as the boy.
Gift from girl to man should
not be so unusual or expensive
that it embarreses him. But,
naturally, nobody sits down to
compare actual costs or values.
That's not the Christmas
spirit! Hints, boasts about
the cost Of presents are never
good taste.

Saxbe Offers New Hope
For Ohio Republicans

The twopary SYSTEM thank goodness is still very much
alive
of the healthier aspects of the approaching May
primary elections is the spirited battle underway for the

Bill Saxbes challenge of George Bender for his party
nomination struck welknt state Republican organization
a terrific blow.
The 37yearod Mechanicsburg lawyer is making his first
bid for statewide office and faces tremendous task OF meet
ing COP. voters.
We have had opportunity in the past six years to close
y observe the ability of this young and have no hes
fancy predicting that irrespective of the outcome in this
race Bill Saxbe definitely will be heard from in Ohio in the
years ahead.
The Ottawa County News is Democratic newspaper; it
supports Democratic candidates because feel that Demo
Gratis by virtue of philosophy and deeds have contributed
the general benefit of mankind than the opposition
party 1t is very likely that for these and other
will vigorously support the candidacy of Senator Thomas
Burke in November
Nonetheless we deem responsibility to commend to
many Republican readers the candidacy of Bill Saxbe
in the primary election May a. By standard of
measurement Bill Saxbe deserves the COP nomination
his rabble-rousng opponent, George Bender.
If nominated Saxbe will provide Ohio Republicans the kind
of candidacy that properly befs the high office of United
