Emily Post Advises

A reader asks: "What is a pro-
feSsional musician to do when
in q private house he is asked to
play or sing, complies and his
audience begins to talk? ! am q
pianist and my friends beg me to
play for them, and when ! do
they start talking, making the
music merely a background for
their conversation. I do not be-
lieve they intend to be rude, but
nevertheless, it is very provoking.
I do not play jazz and am &C
cuStomed to being listened to. If
I refuse to play they think am
temperamental. Will you please
tell me how to tactfully handle
this situation"
Why don't you tell your host
or hostesS-frankly, just as you
have told me, how you feel about
it and he-or she-probably will
be shocked to learn how unap-
preciative they have been, and
when they ask you to play in
future. will ask for silence from
the audience.
Tokine Present to
Anniversary Porty
Dear Mrs. Post: I received an
invitation to a party and know
the occasion is a wedding ami
versary even though no mention
has been made of it. Ought I
to take present?
Answer: Since there will be
others who are likely not to
know beforehand of the ami
verSary, it might make them un-
comfortable should they see that
you have brought a present. If,
on the other hano, you want to
send a remembrance, it would be
best to send it to the house be-
fore the party.
Inviting Bridesmaids Porents
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it necessary
to invite the parents Of all the
bridesmaids to the wedding re-

ception? The parents are either
only slightly known or not at all.
Answer: They must be invited
to the church. and II you are
having a general reception they
also must be invited to that. But
If you're having only the two
families and the fewest intimate
friends. there would be no dis
courtesy in emitting those whom
you know only slightly.
HotO long before the toedding
should the announcement be
made public? Mrs. Post is
sorry she cannot GnSwer per-
sonGl mail. Many details on
engagements are included in

WASHINGTON - In a recent
address President Eisenhower
made the manifeStly sincere an
nOuncement that his Administra-
Uion would constantly strive for a
high degree of national prosperity
based on peace rather than on the
froth of initiation and the blood of
the battlefield.
The Administration. of course,
could not possibly embark upon a
more cOmmendable course, but at
the same time it must be realized
that the Administration faces a
task of very great magnitude. AS
hitherto remarked no real substi-
tute has as yet been found for war
prosperity, for there is nothing
quite like it. II has been said that
the blood of the martyrs is the
seed of the church. By the same
token it may be said that the blood
of American drafted boys shed on
the battlefieldS of Europe and
Asia has been the seed of proSperi-
ty developed and maintained on a
vast scale. AS long as the cannonS
doomed in other parts Of the world
business doomed in America. 1t is
just as simple as that.

Cattle Grubs Are In
Herds All Over Md.

A recent survey conducted by
University Of Maryland Extension
entomologists and county agents in
five Maryland counties shows that
cattle glubs are present in herds
in all parts of the state.
T. L. Bissell, Extension ento-
mologist, says the survey was made
in Washington, Howard, Mont
gomery, Calvert and Wicomico
counties. These counties were Sc
lected to get a representative
sample Of the whole state.
Wallace Harding of the depart
ment Of entomology made the sur
vey with the assistance of county
agents and examined total Of lO7
dairy cows and lGl beef animals
on IS farms.
Forty-siX percent of the dairy
cows and So percent of the beef
animals had grubs. The number Of
grubs per animal varied from ! to
40. Animals We're about equally
grubby in the five counties visi-
ted, according to Bissell.
The Extension entomogolist
recommends that cattle be treated
now with rotenone dust or rotenone
spray to Kill the glubs. He points
out that the rotenone must enter
the holes made in the hide by the
insect in order to be effective
Bissell says that cattle should
be confined in a chute or pen while
the rotenone is being applied. The
confinement makes it possible for
the owner to closely examine each
animal and make sure he gets com
plete treatment.
