We knew last Wednesday was Saint Patrick's day for wearing of the green — and that strange things were going on — but what we did not know was that the little gremlins or leprechauns made off with a picture scheduled to head this column This same picture made its way back to us, the one showing Syracuse’s Joann Owens and golfer Arnold Palmer, with the story behind the picture topping this column in the March 17 issue.

Last week we made a big deal about it being journalistically proper for women to use husband's names in news items, e. g., Mrs John Doe, and not Mary Doe And we asked for comments ... and. brother, did we get The one more directly to the point came from, now gel this, Patricia L. Price. We like her verve, and thought our reader* would as well. We want to print it in toto. While we think she;* wrong, perhaps we’ll have to change our opinion eventually, like we did toward women wearing pant suits in church. Or doe* this open yet another Pandora's box? Well, anyway. here's Patricia's letter You decide for yourself You asked to hear from people with regard to using the given *names of women in the Mail-

Journal, so here goes. I am not a Women’s Lib advocate (at least not to excess), but I am an advocate of respecting myself as a person You stated women should be proud of their married names. 1 don’t believe using a woman’s given name is disrespectful of the fact that she is married to someone. My name is not Mrs. John Price. MY NAME IS PAT PRICE. It just happens I am a Mrs. and my husband's name is John Price. My name, Pat Price, signifies I am an individual and riot simply an appendage of my husband I am a person in my own right and proud of it. Perhaps you’re still living in the 19th century when a woman’s only place was in the home raising the children and she was not accepted in a man's conversation. associations, or careers. Wake up, Mr. Editor, women are people just like men.

Nonsmokers past and present

Protecting nonsmokers in public places is a recent happening with a long history. Hundreds of years ago in colonial Massachusetts the general court passed laws making it illegal to grow the weed or to smoke it in public. In the 1880 s, New Orleans adopted an ordinance forbidding smoking in the city's streetcars. In 1920. the South Carolina senate passed a bill to make smoking illegal “during meal hours in any public eating place in the state". By the twenties, dozens of states had other laws restricting smoking. During the early decades of the twentieth century, in fact, there was even a Nonsmokers Protective League of America. The aims of the league sound remarkably contemporary, similar to those of today's 7 lung

association. Here are the foresighted goals of the league: The right of each person to breathe and enjoy fresh and pure air uncontaminated by unhealthful or disagreeable odors and fumes, is a constitutional right and cannot be taken away bylegislatures or courts, much less by individuals pursuing their own thoughtlessness or selfish indulgence. The league does not seek to abridge the personal rights of anyone, but it does seek to awaken the sense of fairness in those who use tobacco and to impress upon them that they have not the right to inflict discomfort and harm upon others. It is but just that those who wish to indulge in poisonous vapors, and who will not voluntarily refrain from an-

noying or injuring others with the poison, should be restrained from doing so. The league s activities and laws to protect nonsmokers were wiped out in the late twenties when the number of smokers skyrocketed, just when the laws were needed Now, a half century later, nonsmokers backed up by research showing the harmful effects of second hand smoke are again beginning to get the protection they deserve. To find out more about ways to protect nonsmokers, contact your lung association, the “Christmas Seal” people. It’s a Matter of Life and Breath.
