SMILE N NEVER MIND THE WRINKLES

Is. Lee Frazier in Los Angeles Herald]
Alter the storm is the calm. After rain, sunshine. After darkness,
One extreme follows another.
1t is prosperity today and adversely tomorrow. Joy travels close m
the heels of sorrow and vice versa. Tears and cheers almost intermngle
Today we ar a Sunny Jim, tomorrow a Gloomy Gus.
1t all GEMS o be in the nature of things. However, W should aim
to avoid extremes. Be a even, everyday kind Of fellow. Such a person
wears, but doesn't yea out
OF course as matters arr W e have to fool a little, whine a little, worry
a little. cry a little and kick a little, but for the love Of Charley Chaplin,
let's NOT make it u business.
Laugh and grow fat. Just think how good God is and rejoice that
you are a a and not an ape. Make the old world a little brighter and
SO a little better each day. Make someone happy. Smile and never mind
the wrinkles. Get in touch with your fellow mar. Get in line. Rub
elbows. Get the stride. Look to the front. There is beauty everywhere
Be glad you are alive.
Ii is all so easy if we only get ourselves I'M the proper frame Of mind.
Try it, you old crank. Shed your mask of gloom and that cloak OF dis
pair: Kick old man Worry out OF doors and invite little Miss Cheerful in.
Knock the chip from your WI shoulder, throttle your crouch and be de-
cent, so folks can live n the san neighborhood.
Smile if it kills YOU We wan nothing to do with a pious old fraud
who thinks it a sin to have a good time, t. enjoy life, to scatter Gods
sunshine, to be healthy, wholesome, lkeable and neighborly: W. often
wonder what the good Lord will do with those "crabappe' fellows up
yonder.
We prefer a Court Fool or a Simple Simon to a Mournful Mike or a
Doleul Dick. There is a happy medium in between somewhere. Let's
try and find it.. .N&
Take yourself seriously, but not too seriously. Laugh and grow fat,
but cut it OUT at a funeral. Be OF good cheer. Have a bully good time
as you go along, but be decent about it.
A healthy state of mind means a happy frame of mind. Nothing will
drive the "bugs" o"t of your system like a mind that dwe1s o the beau
tml the useful the helpful and the real in life. Most of our troubles are
imaginary and half of our griefs never overtake us. GAS a mn thnketh
so is he and why not put on best foot forward and look up, sc We may
SCI the silver lining that is N every cloud? Some people have trouble
and some think they have. 1t will come soon enough and why chase
after it? Borrowing money may not be SO bad, a the money may help
you % a good thing, but borrowing trouble is simply vlanous, for you
contract a debt that you can never pay and that never does you any good.
Get yer o n the sunny side OF the street and thaw out. Cheer up,
crybaby maybe it isn't So. Come out of it, you palefaced, whitelyered,
kidneykinked, pessimistic pin-head. with whom everything is wrong and
nothing right
Dig yourself ut of the dumps. Get out of the valley of "despond"
and onto the glorious heights Cultivate a happy disposition, get into a
different frame of mind, give your better impulses a chance.
Put n a smile and create a sensation. Garry a few bursts of sn-
shine around instead OF gobs OF gloom. Tip your hat to the ladies and
cause a panic. Shake hands with your friends. if you have n and
watch them stampede. Kiss your wife and have a romp with the kid
dies. Be a Happy Hooigan On a try" and zee if making a bit of "heav-
en-" on earth doesn't beat making hell"
THE mar worth while is the m a with a smile when everything goes
dead wrong"
