havel The following sugges-
tions as to the correct way in
which to address them should
help matters along.
Make every effort to avoid
q few pitfalls when selecting
your cards. Do not purchase
those. that are too much on
the comic side. There seems
to be an unfortunate vogue
for them now, and nothing
could be in worst taste or
more out of place than to
send q Christmas greeting
that Is silly and also may
even border on the vulgar.
It is perfectly proper TO
have g special card designed
with personal photographs Of
the family, children or pets,
but it Is wise to send these
only to relatives and friends.
Business associates and iac-
quaintances should receive q
less personal and more digni-
ned card.
How to sign cards seems to
cause trouble. The signature

may be signed merely with
the first name, but I do think

do it. This form may also
be followed if the names are
printed. On the informal
card "Mr. and Mrs. James
Dow" may be printed,
However. If the approach
is n the formal manner, and
it is to be engraved, only the
"Mr. and Mrs. James Dow"
is correct. First names should
not ne used in this case.
Those in business are FREE

to send cards to employers
or executives with whom they
are associated, when they
have not met the husbands

1 would like to hear from all
citizens who might be interested
in a proposal of this kind. We need
to get all our thoughts together,
and weed out the things that won't
work and improve those which will
work.
With dedicated county officials
who are interested in the progress
and welfare of Dare County, we
may look forward to more bene-
fits to all our people.
Todays needs are difficult and
different. We cannot live while
chained to the methods of the past;
we must keep ahead of the times,
or we will lose too much. Some of
our communities are losing out.
Things like this can help them
to come back, and in time be more
important than ever before.
