Zurich Herald, 1942-12-03, Page 6tri UP AGAIN—OVER TOBRU.i Confident that this time it's there to stay, two British soldiers hoist the Union Jack over Tobruk, famed siege city of the Libyan - Egyptian see -saw campaign. They were confident, because they, with their mates in the Eighth Army, had just recaptured Tobruk, with .Rommel far away in headlong flight. Modem Etiquette 1. Should one express a choice of food when the host or hostess requests it? 2. Is it correct to sign a letter with the initials only? 3. Should a girl secretary ever discuss her employer's affairs with others, outside the office and at home? 4. When a bride has received a gift from the office force, con- sisting of perhaps a hundred em- ployees, how should she at - knowledge it? 5. Is it all right to use the doll's size butter plates? 6. What would be the correct phrase to use when introducing two women? ANSWERS 1. Yes. When requested, it is mueh better to state any prefer- ence rather than say, "Anything sit all." 2. When writing a note to an intimate friend, this is pee'- missibie, but the usual letter should always be signed with the full name. 3. Never, Anything that concerns her employer's af- fairs should never be discussed. That is one of the fundaalental things an efficient and competent secretary will respect, 4. Write a personal lettere of thanks to her employer, or the chief clerk, or the person she knows had oharge of the contribution towards the gift, asking this person to thank the others. 5. No; these have been superseded by the bread and but- ter plates, which are about five and a half to six and a halt inches in diameter, nd are placed at the left side of each. plate just above the forks, 6. "Miss Allen (the eider), may I introduce Miss Adams (the younger) ?" It is estimated that 40,000 Loyal- ists migrated to Canada during the .emerican Revolution, Bells of Coventry The Germans thought they had crushed Coventry. When the Nazi bombers battered the English city, they believed that Coventry would never rise from the ashes, says the Windsor Star. But, the bells of Coventry rang out on Sunday. The Nazi pagan had not destroyed the faith nor the courage nor the confidence of these people who believe they are on God's side in this war. Pealing out for the first time since the, war stilled their ring- ing, the bells of Coventry Cathe- dral reaffirmed the faith of a people by playing: 0 God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast And our eternal home.

WHY DID YOU BETRAY fl4AT SECRET I TOLD YOU, ilrlOPsv. - ARKER BUT I DIDN'T.' FOUND [ QOULON'T KEEP iT SO I JUST TOLD IT TO SOME- ONE WHO eOULD WHAT SCIENCE Is DOING MOISTURE IN HOUSE Dr, Morton Mott -Smith reminds. us, in Science News Letter, that 65 degrees is a comfortable level,. that most Europeans are comfort- able at 60, Since what Europeans do about such things never has been ot': much interest in this country, it may be well to follow the doctor further, to observe that he says we keep our houses too dry for wine. ter comfort. Humid air at 65 de- grees, he assures us, is more corn-. Portable than dry air at 70. Most modern heating systems provide for moistening the air. Those of us with older plants often set out pans of water in the hope that they will relieve us. Dr. Mott -Smith points out that though they help some, a kettle of boiling water will do much more good. He insists, of course, on the value of insulation, makes the val- uable suggestion that many win- dows can be conveniently and in- expensively insulated by installa- tion of an interior sheet of cello- phane. The point is to create a layer of dead air between the in- ner and out exposures. Perhaps his most important, .advice is that we recognize the fact that when the feet are warm the rest of the body is likely to feel fairly com- fortable. For more reasons than one, next winter will be no time for cold feet, Church Bells Ring Again In Britain Some British Children Hear Chimes For First Time Church bells of England, which' rang at the accession of Queen Elizabeth, at the defeat of the Spanish. Armada and at the death of Nelson at Trafalgar, rang out again last week to celebrate the victory of British arms in. Egypt. For the first time since the war began, church bells in the British Isles, land -famed through centuries for the sober Sabbath music of bells and chimes, broke the crisp morning air. British youngster's who have never heard the sound of church bells—for ringing has been reserv- ed ese;ryed dun3ng this war as the signal for invasion, heard he chimes of Westminster Abbey, the measured tones of St. Paul's bell and the voice of St. Martin's -in -the -Field, and in Scotland the note: of old St. Cuthbert's, in the shadow of the great rock of Edinburgh Castle. Some Bells Silent It was a sedate Sabbath of re- joicing and thanksgiving during whichw-propie----er ieattail"oriees--cher amallesrt village parish churches and into the great cathedral. Its soberness was not lessened by the silence of some of ngland's most famous bells, destroyed in enemy air attacks, No sound came from the fire - reddened tapered spires of St. Bride's in Fleet Street, or from Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece, the now -shattered wreck that was St. James's, in London's Picca- dilly. Bow Bells, in sound of which any Londoner must be born to be considered a true cockney, clashed to earth in 1941. St. Paul's bells were heard despite difficulties. The full peal could not be rung because of fear of a further cracking of the tower, already shaky from a bomb bit. Bells of Coventry Heard Even the famous tones of St..' James at Belfast, which had rung not only for the accession of Queen Elizabeth but for such other great events as the defeat of the Spanish Almada in 1588, the great Irish Battle of the Boyne in 1690 'BLUE COAL' RAISES STANDARD OF HEATING COMFORT Thousands of families will tell you that 'blue coal' is the best coal you can use in these days of careful spending.

"George," said Mrs. Lovey to her husband, "I have received a letter from mother saying she is not accepting our invitation to visit us, and saying we do not ap- pear to want her. What does she mean by that? I asked you to write and tell her to come at her own convenience. You wrote, didn't you?" "Yes," said George, "but---er— I couldn't spell that word 'con- venience,' so I made it 'risk!' " Butch: "Is there a word in the English language which contains all the vowels?" Bo: "Uunquestionably." Butch: "What is it?" Bo: "I just told you." Mose, charged with theft, was on the witness stand, and the judge sought to discover if he knew the value of an oath. He said: "Mose, if you tell a lie under oath, lo you know what hap- pens?" Mose said: "Yassuh, Jedge. I goes to Hell." "And if you tells the truth?" persisted the judge. "I goes to jail," said Mose.
