■■sbp? UNHAPPY SMALL FRY — Little Melissa Price, 5, doesn’t appear pleased with her catch near Wadmalaw Island. S.C. o o I Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ~l O " o - Q. At what age do you think it proper to permit teen-aged girls and boys to date? A. This varies with local custom. In general, it is accepted that a 13 or 14-year-old boy might properly take a girl to an early movie, a basketball game at school, or a house? party. And many high schools have dances to which the young students bring dates. More sophisticated enter-tainment-nightclubs, the theater, and late movies—in most communities comes later. w ' Q. I’ve just been told that it is now proper for a bridge player to begin picking up and arranging his cards before the deal has been completed. Is this correct? A. No; this is still considered ill-bred. The player should not touch or begin picking up his cards until the last one has been dealt. Q. At an informal dinner, where there is no maid, who should start a dish around the table? A. The person nearest the dish. Q. What do you have to say about leaving your seats at a theater performance during the intermission? A. This practice, of course, is accepted, but if you do leave your seats, go out by the way .which requires disturbing the fewest persons. Try not to trample on any feet and, above all, be sure to return before the curtain rises, particularly if you have seats midway between aisles. Q. We would like to give money to my husband’s niece for a wedding present. Is it all right for us to hand the check to her at the wedding reception? A. This would be in very poor taste. Correctly, you send your check to the bride soon after the receipt of your wedding invitation. Q. Should the first page of a social letter be numbered? A. No, but you may number the succeeding pages, if you wish. Q. What is the proper manner for husband and wife to introduce' each other? A A woman always introduces her-husband by his first name, or busband”—never as “Mr. wilding.” The husband, in turn, introduces her socially as “My wife, Mary”—but to his business acquaintances as “Mrs. Wilding.” He’ll never refer to her as “the* missus” or “my better half.” Q. When a bride is writing her thank-you notes for wedding gifts received, does she write also to the bridegroom’s mother and lather, and to his sisters and bothers for the gifts they gave? A. This is not necessary if she has been able to give them her sincere, verbal thanks. Q. What apology should one make after a sudden sneeze in public? A. “Pardon me" is sufficient. Q. Please suggest a bread-and-butter letter a girl can write after she has spent a week-end at a boy’s home. A. She addresses it to the ooy s mother, something like thisDear Mrs. Benson: Your home “ w as . n, . ee r aS Dick has always said it is. I really enjoyed the . Wee . k ' en ? so much> and 1 want to thank you for having invited me. Please remember me to Mr Benson. Sincerely, Sally Griffith.” Q. When lettuce, parslev or watercress is placed around m a Karnlsh . is it proper to eat these’ . , A- Certainly it is, if the garn- ■ a of your individual service. But you should not mar ! he ap P? arance of a serving dish by plucking out some of its garnD ° eS a woman ev er rise n ® man extends his hand Sby ° h " “ e™£° rtant personage or very eld-
Cut Speed Limits On Unpaved Roads
INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The six - member Governor’s Traffic Safety Study Committee late Wednesday endorsed a proposed bill curtailing the speed limit on unimproved county roads in Indiana despite a warning that the measure would draw the wrath of the county commissioners. The bill, which will be submitted to the 1961 General Assembly, would set a maximum speed limit of 40 miles per hour on virtually all unpaved roads. The present limit, unless specifically zoned, is the same as the limit elsewhere—6s miles pct hour. The Legislative Advisory Commission declined to approve the measure when it was presented several weeks ago. But the safety committee decided to submit it to the General Assembly anyway on the theory that the advisory commission seldom gives s stamp of aipproval to specific legislation. James Blythe, chairman of the committee, warned fellow members that “you know the county commissioners will crucify you if you support this proposal’’ “A Good Idea” "I didn't know they (the commissioners) had a vote in the Legislature," replied State Sen? Eugene Bainbridge (D-Munster)x Lucien C. Bever, committee set; retary, said it was his opinioti that the measure would not be by county commissioners. He said he talked to several commissioner? and “they all thought it was a good idea." State Rep. John E. Mitchell (D---’Flat Rock) said “most people agree with the measure in principle, but don’t like the idea of spending a lot of money for posting hundreds of miles of roads.” Blythe agreed that the most common objection to the measure was the “excessive cost burden." Bever said the cost of posting county roads would be much less than most poeple realize. He said a single speed limit sign codld be posted where an unimproved road intersects with a main highway and there would be no need for additional signs until the road made another intersection. Rural Accidents Bever also read a State Police report showing that rural areas accidents in Indiana decreased in 1960, while urban fatalities in traffic accidents increased. A total of 550 persons were killed on Indiana streets and highways through Tuesday midnight, Bever said. During the same period last week, the toll was 527. Sixty-six persons were killed during the first 19 days of July. Bever said deaths on state and federal highways decreased from 398 last year to 385 this year and fatalities on the northern Indiana Toll Road were down from 9 to 7. But deaths in urban areas increased from 129 during the first part of 1959 to 165 this year. At the same time, deaths on county roads increased from 77 last year to 94 this year. "At our last meeting we criticized the State Police,” Blythe said. "Maybe its time to blame someone else. It seems that most

of the increase in the traffic death rate is taking (dace in areas that should be the responsibility of local and county authorities.” Bainbridge said it was time the committee t "got down to bare facts and >quit playing the num bers game.” Six-Point Program ““AH •we -ever do is discuss the number of persons killed, the number of accidents, the number of multiple fatalities, and so forth,” he said. “It’s impossible for us to sit here and determine what is to be done just by looking at numbers. That isn’t a constructive approach to the probJgJYI. ’ * — - -7. • I Most of the committee members agreed and Blythe instructed Bever to compile a record of specific accidents for the committee to study at its next meeting. Blythe also distributed to committee members a six-point program outlining major traffic safety needs "which merit consideration by the next General Assembly.” The program, which will be detailed at the committee’s next meeting, included: ’ —Provision for “adequate and proper budgets” for all state agencies with traffic safety re- ■ •—lmprovement of traffic court administration. —Additional personnel for traffic law enforcement at all levels. —Expanded opportunities for t . education in secondary Schools. —“Continued emphasis” on sound traffic engineering principles in the construction and improvement of streets and highways. —Passage of an official motor vehicle inspection law.
