You can write better song, Jimmy
and Harold said, when you know
who will sing it.
When they get an assignment to
write song for certain star. they
measure the star just like his tailor
would. Only they measure his
range, what kind of a persons he
is, and his musical tricks.
For instance, they said, when
they were hired to write Frank
Sinatra's songs. they made sure
there were plenty of words and
notes which the swoon-crooner
could slur. That's one of his mu-
sical tricks. He goes out of his way
to slur 'em and it slurs EN- in the
aisles.
For Eddie Canto," Harold said,
you write the kind of language he
talks. Something with a fast tempo
something he can run around the
stage with" Betty Hutton, Jimmy
said takes action songs. You gotta
give her something she can scream
she can go crazy
with" MART 2 t.Sye is the same
type.
VETERANS
Were song tailors, they say.
We build song to fit the singer
or the orchestra"
Adamson and McHugh are both
veteran song writer's. Harold has
been writing for 13 years, ever since
he gave up acting with the Uni
versity Players Guild. McHugh has
20 years of hits behind him, in

REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDlCK
More People Become Neurotic From
Laziness Than From Overwork

Asked where he Is, man nat
ulauy defines his position in ply
steal terms; like sailor using lati-
tude he locates himself geographic
cally where his body Is. Where
am II is a much more difficult
question to answer than at first
appears.
Certainly no worthwhile person
Is merely where his body is. His
family and friends may be widely
scattered; where they are, he Is;
what happens to them there may
affect HIM far more poignantly
than anything that befallS him
here. AS Robert Southwell put 1t
long ago, Not where I breathe,
put where I love, I live
This extension of the self is one
of the profoundest mysteries In
personal life. Nothing except a
person can so live outside itself.
Objects of loyalty such as democ-
racy can become part of ourselves
until what befallS them anywhere
befalls us. Causes to which we be-
long can SO absorb us that their
success or failure Is our own.
Patriotism can so affect millions
that the life they live within their
bodies is willingly surrender on
behalf of the larger national life
into which they have extended
themselves.
Wilberforce can identify himself
with the victims of the slave trade,
Florence Nightingale with the I'M
nursed wounded in war, and
Jesus can carry this objectification
of himself so far that he says,
"Inasmuch as we have done 1t unto
one of the least Of these my
brethren, We have done it into me"
AS truly as the body Is dwarfed
if it does not grow up, SO the self
is stunted unless it escapes from
its self-absorption, objectifies it
self, discovers itself in family,
friends, interests, and loyalties be-
You'd itself, and SO extends itself
that it's outer boundaries are hard
to find.
Falling in love, for example, is
certainly natural. 1t is not first OF
all a duty but an instinct. Its es-
sential characteristic, however, is
that self-suffiency breaks down,
and in a powerful Surge of emo
ton one person identifies himself
with another until hyperboles like
zone sould in two bodies" are need
ed to express the consequence. AS
Mrs. Browning phrased it:
The widest land
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy
heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What
can I do
And what dream include thee, as
the wine
Must taste of its own grapes. And
when I sue
God for myself. He hears that
name of thine,
And sees within my eyes, the tears
Of two.
Along with love and friendship,
one of the most durable satisfac-
lions in life Is to lose oneself In
creative work. Every wise man
seeks a task to dignity his days.

No man can be himself until he
gets out of himself into work with
which he Identifies himself.
Even beavers build their dams
bees their honeycombS, and birds
their nests. Rooted in a long past,
there Is In man an impulse to con-
struct, an urge to create, a deep
need to invest himself in work
that becomes an extension of him
self.
This is why more people become
neurotic from aimless leisure and
laziness than from overwork, and
this is why unemployment is one
of the worst of tragedies, its psy-
Geological results quite as lament
able as its economic ills. AS
