DEAR MISS MANNERS —
Coul@ you offer some
guidelines on the proper way
to treat volunteers?

I have contributed my

services to several organiza-
tioris since I was a teenager.
Some treat you as though
they were doing you a favor
by letting you work there.
Quite a few think a certifi-
cate and a tea party ade-
quate compensation for
years of aggravation and
frustration. But I have also
had the distinct pleasure of
working for someone who
always appreciates good
work, and is tactful about
ineptitude.
GENTLE READER — It
will come as no surprise to
you that Miss Manners sides
with appreciation and tact,
as against grudging surliness.
Volunteer workers, especial-
ly, should be rewarded with
gratitude, as well as by the
satisfaction of what they are
giving. .

But that matter of inep-
titude raises another ques-
tion.

Organizations to which
volunteers donate their time
are’ presumably doing wor-
thwhile work. It is up to the
volunteers to make sure that
they enhance, rather than in-

tasks at

hand.
They

standards as if they were be-
ing paid: keeping faithfully
whatever hours they have
agreed upon; using work
time to work, not to social-
ize; and recognizing
legitimate lines of command,
rather than using their in:
dependence in order to
thwart the paid workers.

It is not enough to volun-
teer, in order to win the
respect and appreciation of
the organization’s profes-
sionals. One must also work.

[ ‘By DEAN CUMMER |

Brigadoon is a charming
bit of musica] fluff currently
playing in repertory at the
Malkin Bowl.

The story tells of two
Americans vacationing in the
Scottish highlands whe
stumble into the Disney-

perfect village of Brigadoon
on the one day it comes to
life every hundred years.

The Yanks’ day in Scot-
tish Shangri-la revolves
around highland weddings
and chasing delinquent
villagers who attempt , to
escape the paradise thus
making the village disappear
forever. Inevitably, one of
the Americans falls in love
with a spunky Scottish lass
and we anxiously await his
choice of whether he remains
in Brigadoon or returns to
the frantic pace of New
York.

Pace is what Brigadoon

May I comment on the
subject of addressing strang-
ers by their first names? May
I suggest that this can be a
useful tool at the ap-
propriate time?

For example, if you have
not experienced the satisfac-
tion of responding. to a
haughty letter from a “Mr.
William Rosewood Word-
sworth Bacon IV’? with a
“Dear Bill,” than I suggest
that there are yet unex-

GENTLE READER — No
doudt, but there are delights
Miss Manners must forgo on
moral grounds.

Your suggestion violates ;
two of her principles — not from
only that against using
strangers’ first names, Sut LYNN VALLEY CENTRE

that of making stcveotypical
humorous assumptions
about anyone’s name.

Miss Manners chocses to
picture William Rosewood
Wordsworth Bacon IV as the
humble scion of a poor but
honest family, whose shy
manner may be misinter-
preted as haughtiness by
those who have not had the
pleasure of knowing his true
Sensitive nature. Let us say,
then, that we agree 98 per-
