o ; Q i Modern Etiquette | ( By ROBERTA LEE |‘ o ° I Q. I recently had a date to go to a movie with another girl, but a boy phoned me and asked me to ; go out with him, and so I broke i my date with my girl friend. Was | this all right? A. Think this over carefully, and you'll realize that no thoughul and considerate person ever cancels a date with one friend in order to go out with another. Q. When a man is invited to be the guest of a woman at a ban- , quet or similar affair, is it proper i ' for him to bring her a corsage? I . A. Only if the affair is to be ’ a formal one, and she knows she is ’ wearing an evening dress. ’ Q. If a man is telephoning an- ’ other man on business, does he say, “This is M»- Corcoran of the “ Acme Company”? *IWI A. It wouid be better if he i omitted the “Mr.” He can say, • “This is Corcoran of the Acme ■ Company," or, "This is John Corcoran.” ■ V Former Decatur Man I To Supermarket Job Ralph (Al) Schnitz, a 1947 graduate of Decatur high school, and the son of Mrs. Florence L. Schnitz of 514 Studebaker, has been pro- 1 moted from the job of manager of the Red & White Food Store in Bryan, 0., to become meat merchandiser of the Chief supermarkets, which have their headquar- ; ters in Defiance, O. Schnitz will be over five stores, ' two in Defiance, two in Napoleon, and one in Paulding. The job will start next Tuesday. The Bartley Co., of Toledo, 0.,l owner of the Red & White Food Store, honored him with a farewell | dinner attended by 50 employes, husbands, wives, and representatives of the company. Schnitz, who is married and the father of three children, started with the store when it was opened, > as head meat cutter, and in April,' 1957 was promoted to manager.' 1 The Schnitz family will continue to live at Williams Center, which is located on route 4, Bryan, O. Larry Knight, general manager of the Bartley Co., had nothing but praise for Schnitz in his farewell address, and presented him with a pen and pencil set and billfold as a token of appreciation for all he has done to further the growth and expansion of the company. The employes also presented gifts: a briefcase, a new hat, and a letter of appreciation, highly praising the former Decatur man. Closing the program which followed the dinner, Knight wished Schnitz the best of luck and invited him back into the organization at any time. ” 3 z Admitted Miss Mary Lee Dull, Decatur; Mrs. Pegrod, QBheva.

"In the United States, criminals force us to spend each year more than four and two-thirds times as' much on them as we spend on all i forms of education, both public ! and private.”—J. Edgar Hoover. 1 A song hailing Mao Tse-tung,! head of the Chinese Communist I Party, as the “supreme God” and j lauding his “virtues and power” is being taught in Chinese schools, | according to the Peiping radio. The song’s lyric runs: “No su-| preme God is in heaven; no dragpn God under the earth. I am; the supreme God. and the dragon God. Tell the mountains and the cliffs to make way, for I am coming." Theodore H. Epp, director of Back to the Bible Broadcast, is leading his 200 co-workers in their 20th anniversary celebration. Since 1939 888 has produced almost 7,000 consecutive broadcasts. Beside radio, Epp uses literature—some six million pieces last year—including four million copies of his monthly Good News Broadcaster and Young Ambassador publcations and almost one million copies of his broadcast sermons. Extending its ministry of aid to the suffering and underprivileged, the Hong Kong Church World Service—through funds contributed by American denominations—has opened a $30,000 Christian community center in Kowloon, one of the most overcrowded refugee areas. The new center, long a dream of Hong Kong Christian workers, embraces a kindergarten, a tubercu-losis-treatment clinic, a milk bar for children, and quarters for adult literacy classes. The Evangelical and Reformed Church for the first time elected a | woman, Mrs Frances Kapitzky, as I moderator of the church. Mrs. Kai pitzky is a banker. Her election makes her automatically one of the co-moderators of the United Church for Christ, which is being formed by the merging of the Evangelical and Reformed Church with the Congregational Christian ; Churches.
