for girl TO say damn?
President Thwing OF Western Re
serve university thinks there are oc-
casiOns when il IS Justihable. and he
has started a considerable bit OF de
hate Some other Clevelanders
think oh deari" IS plenty strong
enough.
Prexy Thwing was hearing a reel
tatiou OF his college girls class in
bible study. He asked the girls what
were their pet explosives when under
the stress OF strong emotion. Vari-
Gus girls offered fudge" "piffe. %
~oh. dear" darn" gosh" rats.
-oh. pickles. "thc deuce" and the
dickens Then the subject OF
damn" came up.
4 think II Is perfectly permissible
90 swear at times" Prexy ThwinE Is
quoted as having said. 4 think II is
all right % say. damn even. II some
man did something terrible 20 you
and you said. Damn that man. that's
all right-that man should DC
damned"
According 20 Webster. 20 damn q
man g. TO consigu him TO peridition.
sometimes called by a shorter. usier
word
President Thwing. when later inter
viewed. indicated that he HEed to
talk more freely 10 the girls than 10
the general public. Regarding pro
family he added. Z would say IL
should always be regarded as a form
OF prayer. and II INDUCED in. Il
should be in n prayerfui spirit"
Other Clevelanders are not alto
Eether in accord with Thwing. SAID
Rabbi Louis Wolsey. III / hit my

damn. says the rabbi.
Rev. Dan r. Bradley Of Pilgrim
Congregational church. and one OF
the best known ministers in the city,
IS quoted thus;
Religion condemns the use e.
damn in wishing a person to hell.
but II you step on a tack and say
damn. religion wouldn't consider
that profanity. Personally. however.

Miss Mary Bathburn, secretary OF
the y w. {. a. wouldn't condemn .
gin for saying damn" occasionally.
Says Miss Rsthburn: "A girl would
not be unwelcOme at the Y. W. {. A.
Just because she said damn" On
the other hand. Mrs. ]. a Smith.
president OF the Ohio Mothers club [
says: Its just as bad for a girl 10
say damn as II is for a man to go I
put and get drunk
