ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
SPLINTERS
BY Ted Aronson
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TINIID PEOPLE.

Why does shy or over-sensitive
person feel miserable in the presence
of others who may be having a good
time He worries about his own
real or imaginary defects and ne
thinks that he can't measure up to
required social standards. His at
tention Is turned too much upon
himself
Such people need to become inter-
ested in the folks they meet and
deal with. and to become interested
in the vital questions of the day.
When their minds are filled with
ideas they will forget to think about
themselves. elf-consciousness will
disappear. and in its place will come
confidence and self-assurance.
Abraham Lincoln was by nature
shy and timid, yet he often rose
absve this feeling of inferiority
When he went east to deliver the
Cooper Union address, he stuck a
new suit into his vaLse. He put
it on just before going to the hall
and it was terribly wrinkled. When
he rose to speak, one can imagine
how he looked Subdued laughter
and filters came from all parts of
the assemblage.
After a few moments Lincoln for
got all about his appearance or the
impression he might be making. for
his mind and heart were in his mes
sage. Within five minutes the audi
ence forgot about his clothes and
listened spellbound
He who has thoughts to utter and
convictions to express. or who takes
hand in some worthy cause, need
have no worry about himself. To
help folks to become unconscious of
self is one of the aims of education.
And If YOU are timid. remember
that others are generally too busy
with their own affairs to be observ-
ing you through fieldglass or ex-
aiming you with a microscope Il
you think right and act right you
will be respected and followed. even
though you may not be aware of it.

down the streets, especially at night,
with mufflers open and horns honk-
ing have made many a stald citizen
think longingly of the -vigilante days
when citizens sometimes took mat
ters into their own hands. Inc
clangor of motorcycles tearing down
avenues in the night hours or at
the sleepy hours of dawn have stir
red the wrath of otherwise placid
householders.
As cars multiply and streams OF
traffic grow thicker and fill up
more hours of the day. the demand
for abatement of street noises has
grown. Motorists may we'll heed
the public resentment that Is grow
ing against those who delight in
making more racket than is neces-
sary.
We hope the police push their
campaign against the noise nuisance
in this city It's volume in purely
residential sections and in the Vi
entity of our hospitals has reached
an inexcusable height at times. The
amount of noise that some of our
drivers can get out of motor car
engine is amazing, and yet such We
hicles are built these days SO that
they can be operated with a mini
mum of sound 1t is a rowdy habit
to drive them otherwise.
Horn blowers are included among
those who make the air of Great
Falls hideous at times with sound,
and they also should be called to
account for the unnecessary and
constant blasts from their sirens.
Obviously the police cannot pa
troll every street continually to con-
troll the motorists, but whatever they
find occasion to do in checking traf-
fie nuisanees should have general
support and commentator. More
over, the public should heed the re-
minders given them without the
necessity of foreeful action.
