THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN - MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1946 Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My husband and I are having a bit of an argument about whether not we should send our Christ- cards by first-class mail. I nk we should, and he insists we 't. What do you think about cards with one-cent post- Margaret the Post Office Depart- gives the right and at- irst impression to. your , If you must economize, don't begin with the envelopes; expensive cards, for after least expensive card can friendly & mesage as & »ansive card. A simple, in- season's message, sent in a sealed envelope --there is nothing unattractive about that. And then for the practical side. your greetings by first-class has also these advantages: (1) greetings may contain written WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT-- Sending Christmas Cards by Mail By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN message; (2) they are dispatched end delivered first; (3) if necessary they are forwarded to any new ad- dress without additional charge; and (4) if undelivereble, they are returned if the sender's return ad- dress is on the envelope. In-Law Doings Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My sister-in-law did not tell me when she went on a vacation re- cently, and did not tell me when she returned or that she had brought back her mother to visit with her for a few weeks. Just by chance I learned these facts when I was vis- iting my mother. A week or so after she returned from her trip, my sis- ter-in-law telephoned to me and told me that I should have tele- phoned to her and her mother, or called on them. Shouldn't she have telephoned to me to tell me about her mother's visit with her? : Mildred Yes, she should have told you, not left this news to be told you by chance. However, this is the kind of family-doing you shouldn't make much to-do about. My advice is that you go to call as soon as possible to welcome the visiting mother, and then, if convenient, invite her and her daughter to your house to tea or lunch or whatever occasion is possible. May Engaged Couple Send Christ- . mag Cards Together? Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My engagement was announced last September, and we are plan- ning to be married next February. My fiance and I thought it might be fun to send out cards in both our names, but some of our relatives have told us this would not be correct. What is your advice, Mrs, Beeckman? Frances It is entirely correct for you and your fiance to send Christmas cards together (1) if you send them only to your and his relatives and inti- mate friends and (2) if you use your first names, either written by hand or printed. . "Frances Jim." (Don't let anyone persuade you to use your formal names, "Miss Frances Smith and Mr. James Brown," either hand-written or printed or engraved.) (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do submitted by readers.) Paris--(Reuters)--A pretty In- dian delegate, Miss D. Bose, who changes into a different sarong be- fore each of the two daily sessions of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza- tion, was reported to be enjoying the limelight drawn to the small number of women delegates attend- je the conference now going on ere. Treat Appendicitis Through Operation By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. Most people today are aware that the best way of treating appendici- tis is through operation and hence a good many may wonder just how likely they are to contract this ail- ment, By and large, the more frequent- ly a disease occurs, the greater the chance that any given individual may have it but there are other factors, too, which muct be taken into consideration in making an es- timate regarding any particular di- sease, Though a person of almost any age may have appendicitis, good and | authorities believe that 50 per cent. of all cases occur in young people under 20 years of age. That is why special interest at- taches to two studies made among university students in recent years, One e over a ten-year period at the University of Minhnesta among 15,000 students shows that every year about four students out of every thousand had attacks of ha pendicitis. A diagnosis of appendi- citls was made in 594 students but the appendix was removed in only Drs. K. A. Stiles and Frederick W. Mulsow of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, questioned 2068 students over an eight-year period. About 10 per cent. reported that they had had the appendix removed. There were slightly more women than men in this group. In addition, about one out of twenty had been told that they had appendicitis, but did not have the appendix removed. From these figures it would seem appendicitis is a common condition and that there is about one chance out of five of your developing it at some time during your life. Appendicitis causes pain in the right lower part of the abdomen, together with tenderness of the muscles in this area, The muscles are also contracted, In some in- stances there are fever, sickness to the stomach, vomiting, and consti- pation. In practically all cases there is some increase in the num- ber of white célls in the blood. When a person has these symptoms he should, of course, have an ex- amination made by a physician to determine whether or not appendi- citis is present, so that an operation may be carried out if it is neces- sary. It is important to realize that when appendicitis is: promptly di- agnofed and properly treated it is not a serious disorder. It is only when the condition is neglected and allowed to continue until the ap- pendix bursts that it becomes dan- gerous, When the appendix breaks, ihfected material gets into the cav- ity of the abdomen and a serious disorder known as peritonitis then develops. People who have symp- toms like those of appendicitis should not delay in consplting the physician, The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Persistent rumors around New York movie circles credit Canada with preparations to launch a tre- mendous campaign to develop a great motion picture production business ., ., The same rumors have been floating around Toronto and Montreal for nearly a year now and the fire is beginning to show through the smoke. Montreal's Paul Dupuis, who starred as the handsome Breton hero in "Johnny Frenchman," now is starring in the French version of "Whispering City" (The Strong- hold) which is in production at St. Hyacinthe, Que. , Some of the yeast causing the movie ferment in Canada is J. Ar- thur Rank's financial backing un- der a Rank policy for developing film production in Commonwealth countries, The policy has already produced the fine Australian film, "The Owerlanders", starring Chips Rafferty, who is generally described as "The Australian Gary Cooper." Right now he is visiting Canada, * » Apropos Canadian films and stars, we'd like to see a little more genuine pride in the home product north of the border, instead of the cringing attitude of "well, the Americans seem to like it, so. fit must be good." that is, always pro- "SALADK TE A owe. BAGS viding the product is good. What prompted this two-cents contribution to the crying in the wilderness of other Canadian movie reviewers is an advertisement car- ried recently in the Toronto papers for a movie gala, attended by Paul Dupuis, among others. Mr, Dupuis was described as "Star of New York's hit movie, "Johnny French- man." What gets us is that the film was described as "New York's Hit." It was a hit in the big city all right but it was more of a hit in Montreal and other Canadian cities where it was shown, ot ® wiy ig say so?
