PagM-PLA1NPKALER-HEHALD, FKIDAV.

Guests and newcomers are welcome. St. Patricks' day decorations were used by hostesses Adela Arndt and Edna Domrese for the March meeting and delicious refreshments were served. The meeting was called to order by President Barbara Meurer, and the pledge of i Allegiance was recited in unison. The FISH collection amounted to $22. Members will be working on lap robes for the nursing homes; and it was unanimously agreed that they will again prepare birthday gifts for the nursing home residents, to be delivered before the start of the new year.

In June there will be the annual Officers Recognition Dinner. President Muerer asked Marie Cross to have a slate of nominees ready to be presented at the April meeting; in­ stallation of officers to be held at the May meeting. Son's foresight helps mom keep eye on family dates DEAR ABBY: Several times you have suggested in your column that writing material would be a practical gift for an elderly person. My son, who lives in another state, went one better last Christmas. On a Girl Scout calendar he had marked the birth dates of all my grandchildren and great-grandchildren,and the wedding anniversaries of all the members of my family. In addition, he sent a beautiful selection of cards appropriate for each occasion. On the envelope in the corner for the stamp, he had penciled in the name of the person for whom the card was intended. He didn't forget the stamps either-even remembering the increase that was due in February 1985. I cannot think of a more acceptable gift for this 86-year-old lady whose eyesight isn't what it used to be. All I need to do is add a personal line or two to each card. This may help others who don't know what to send an elderly friend or relative for whom shopping is a chore. LAGUNA HILLS, CALIF DEAR G.K.J.: What a thoughtful, generous son you have raised. And how generous you are to want to share that idea with others. As my beloved mother used to say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." DEAR ABBY: Please tell me what the rule is on using Roman numerals for a name. My mother-in-law insists that our infant son should be David Dennis Monroe IV (not his real name), His father, grandfather and great-grandfather all had the-iirst name David, but each had a different middle name. I believe it is not correct to use numerals unless the name is exactly the same. I hope you can clear this up, as I find it very pretentious. Please, sign me... NO NAME, NO CITY DEAR NO NAME, NO CITY: No problem. You are right. No numeral (or junior) is used when the middle name is different. The entire name-first, middle and last- must be exactly the same for the first son to be named "Junior," and for a grandson, a great-grandson, etc. to be named "in," "IV," etc. DEAR ABBY: I am hurting more right now than I ever have in my whole life. My beloved younger sister died nine months ago. I still can't believe I will never be able to call her on the phone again to gossip and giggle as only sisters do. God, how I miss her! I asked her doctor what actually killed her, and without batting an eye he said, "Cigarettes!" Now I feel so guilty because she took up smoking because I, her older sister, smoked. Thank God, I was able to quit, but it was too late for her. Her husband and children are inconsolable. I have learned a lot from this terrible experience. A smoker has a lot more to worry about than dying. My sister's stay in the hospital with lung cancer wiped her family out financially. Abby, why do advertisers make cigarette ads so attractive? Instead, they should run a before and after picture of a once- beautiful woman vomiting and bald from radiation therapy. I know this letter is too long for your column, but if it will nelp just one person to reach into her purse (or his pocket) and throw that pack of cigarettes in the trasn, it will be worth it. GRIEVING IN GULFPORT, MISS. (Doyou hate to write letters because you don't know what to say? Thank you notes, sympathy letters, congratulations,how to decline and accept invitations and how to write an interesting letter are included in Abby's booklet, "How to Write Letters for All Occasions."
