m Page 6 THE BATTALION THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 31, 1946 Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood What is the difference between convention and etiquette?” Ans: (a) Convention is the cus tom of a locality established by people who live there, to meet the needs of that particular local ity. The agreement is made by gen eral consent and due to its ap propriateness and expediency is practiced by all. (b) Etiquette is a set of rules for proper conduct observed by po lite society the world over; it is based on kindness and considera tion for the other person. Con ventions may change with the times, but the basic rules of good manners do not. “What is the proper way to in troduce an inlaw?” Ans: Most people dislike the word in-law regardless of their affection for an in-law. The bet ter way to avoid using the name in-law in introductions is to say: “Mrs. Shelby, this is my wife’s mother,” or, “Mrs. Shelby, this is my son’s wife, Mary.” Relatives are introduced in the same way. The status of relationship fol lows the name: Example: “Mrs. James, this is my uncle, Mr. Mor gan. Uncle Bill is from Houston.” “When twelve or more people are in a room, is it necessary to introduce a guest to them one at a time?” Ans: To a number less than twelve, individual introductions should be made, but over this num ber the guest is introduced to a few and converses with any one during the evening. The roof of a man’s house is an introduction to his friends. Assigned to FEASC Second Lieutenant William D. Baxter, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Baxter, 240 W.

D. degree.” The article describes how Mc Cluney, as a lieutenant-colonel in the U. S. Army, was placed in charge of the first Office of Pro duction Control, charged with the distribution control of critical ma terials to manufacturers.
