Letters {o the Editor In the past two issues of the Haileyburian. we have noted a specific name used in connection with an office held and a connec- tion of that name used in a subse- quent issue. Bie 5 In the interest of perfection we would like to point out the correct means. of using a lady's name. who is officially connected with office. A lady whose husband is living and has no connection in the matter would use her given name, as in the same instance as a lady whose husband had pre-deceased her. In the case of a lady being mentioned only as to generalities or in con- nection with her husband's activi- ties would then use' the initials of that of her husband. ~ es ' » Protocol installation of a cabinet -heater near the doorway.
