Boob Myers, owner of the La-

the largest weekly newspaper

„ That's (the paper that Clar-
price 'Cooeer, formerly of the
News-Record staff, works for
, . .. Mr. Myers torninents:
"Some of our city friends smile
in condescension 'at the cards
of thanks and the inerreerianiS
that eppear in our cleseified
columns, Oue 'country people
needhit worry about the custom
being corey. The same type of
notices can be found in the
New York Times.
• "Actually, a card of thanks,
in a newspaper is a sensible, in
expensive means of expressing
gratitude — particularly in a
rural area. And if a memorial
tribute is' acceptable in granite,
the ,arbiters of etiquette can
hardly quarrel with the same
sentiment on paper,"
