Shoplifters Bring
Warning From Chief

A warning on shopllfters came
from Police Chief Otto S. Overton
this morning. He reports several
ira police officers will be put in
recent days. which mean that ex-
ira policy officers will be put in
the downtown area. as well as
plainsclothes police working in the
stores. The plainclothes police have
been very effective in the past t,
Overton said.
The Christmas shopping season is
the worst time Of the year for
Shoplifting. Chief Overton urged
shoppers not to leave packages in
unlocked automobiles. such pack
ages are an open invitation to
thieves he commented. and it
is very difficult to trace these pack
ages
A new law IN 1858 was very help
full last year in catching Shoplifters,
Overton pointed out, and would be
used to- the StoreoWncrs advantage
again this year.

A Message
For Thanksgiving

If we would begin each day with the opening words Of the 10Th
Psalm, o give thanks unto the Lord. for he is good: for his mercy
endureth forever, it would not only change our own hearts, it would
also change our world around U.s. DR.. w. Otis McClung declared in
his address Thursday morning at the Farmvile Union THANKSGIVING
service in the Methodist Church
The Farmville Baptist pastor also sided with the wise physician,
Dr.. A. j. CronIn, who found that Nothing brightens life our own
or others 81 much as the spirit of thanksgiving"

Milk Retailing Fight Looms

veloped into a one-firm fight with

Free Parking Plan

Farmville's free parking plan for
tobacco farmers, which will permit
o~ver-staying at a metered location
without penalty only on days the
grower is actually selling tobacco,
will work like this:
When his tobacco is weighed, the
warehouse will issue a prepared
Farmers Parking Permit. On it the
warehouse will place the date, and
the farmer must insert his vehicle
license number
Placed on the interior windshield,
the permit will be h0nored by
Farmville Police officers. Chief
Otto S. Overton reminded today that
police cannot protect vehicles with
out the permit showing. The same
process will be required on each
selling day, the permit being for the
day not the season.

fast gaining momentum. IN
vitations for both formal and
informal parties will be COM
ing to us all from now until
the new year.
It would seem advisable for
those of us who wish to ex-
tend our hospitality to our
friends to do a little thinking
about how to offer it. First,
and most important, is to
make the invitation specific.
Tell your prospective guests
what to expect and then they
can act accordingly.
For example, don't say
cocktails, S to 7 o'clock"
thereby indicating drinks and
something to nibble on
nothing more-when you
plan to serve a sumptuous
buffet with everything from
sliced turkey to ice cream.
This Just isn't fair to those
you invite. Expecting just
cocktails, the recipients Of
your invitation will undoubt-
eddy make plans for dinner
after they attend your party
completely superfluous, if
they had but known. The
really thoughtful hostess-to-
be will take the time and
trouble to clarity just what
form her entertainment, and
refreshments, are going to
take. This applies not only
to meal planning, but to the
old bugaboo of what to
wear when?"
AS the great majority Of
the parties are more or less
on the informal side, the
following example of such
an invitation might prove
helpful.
The folded over informal
card is an excellent medium.
In the center of the outside
of the card the name may be
engraved, MIR. and Mrs.
John Francis Proper" with
the address placed in the
lower right-hand corner.
Plain white cards may be
used and the name and ad-
dress handwritten instead of
engraved.
On the inside of the card,
facing you as it is opened,
may be written Cocktail
Buffet, Tuesday. November
Sd, S to 7 o'clock" In the
lower left hand corner place
the words please Respond"
or the initials "R. s. V. P"
either of which will indicate
that you wish a reply to your
invitation.
BY using the words cock
tail buffet" you have indi-
Gated very clearly what kind
of a party it is to be. There
is no need to wonder whether
one should plan dinner after
attending. Obviously a buff
fet supper is to be served
along with the cocktails. If
the word cocktails" had APP
peared, it would serve notice
that beverages and horS
d'oeuvreS only were to bt
offered
1t isn't necessary for 6
hostess to specify what type
of clothes should be worn
for any party that is sup
posed to end at 8 o'clock
or before.
If, however, a hostess il
planning an evening party
say one starting at 8 O'Clock
it should be specified or
the invitation whether it.
to be a very dressed-ul
affair, or not. BY using tn,
word Informal" in the lowe
left hand corner of your in
vitation, you indicate tina
pretty much the same clothe,
as those worn for an after
noon party are expected
Note: 1t is perfectly permits
sable in this case for tn
ladies not to wear a hat.

Questions. Answers
Question: expect to be
married shortly and am
rather upset about just how
to make the announcement.
Both Of my parents are dead
and my two closest relatives
are an older sister and an
aunt. Should / make the
announcement or should
they and if so which one?
Miss @. K. L.
Answer-The correct pro-
cedure in this case would be
to have your aunt make the
announcement. Be sure that
they are placed in the mail
the day upon which you are
married.
QuestiOn-For once I am
trying to get my Christmas
cards addressed and ready
to mail way ahead of time.
Following your advice of a
couple of weeks ago, might
add Two families that I
wish to send cards to have
suffered recent bereavements.
Is it proper to send them
a card wishing them a merry
Christmas? This sounds out
of place to me, yet l would
like to let them know I am
thinking of then.
Mrs. T. G.

a card. However, choose
one with a religious theme
rather than one offering
wishes to be merry.

Question: am going to

close friend who is going to

gift, but I am wondering if
I should also take a gift to
the dinner?
Miss E. B. N.
Answer - Unless it has
been clearly indicated that
the dinner is actually to be
a shower for the BRIDE to-be,
a gift would be completely
out of place. If it is to be
a shower, then a gift is in
order.
