ND PEOPLE ought to solve

~ It is a great reflection on
your intelligence if you have
lived go or 10 years in this trou-
bled world, and even now don't
know what you want, how you
can manage, or how to be hap
py. Being happy is matter of
intelligence, and to be unhappy
is to argue yourself stupid.
Naturally there are times in all
our lives when bereavement, or
money trouble, or the actions of
those dear to us cause us deep con-
Germ. I'm not talking of that sort
of thing. I'm talking of these old
people who mourn and fret and
complain and generally annoy the
younger crowd, and make them
selves a burden for the last 20 years
of their lives.
Mary Cutter, for example, at IA
is strong as horse and good for
many more years. Mary was
loved wife, raised three sons and
daughter, saw them all nicely
married. When she was widowed,
and found her resources much re-
duced, she proceeded to make of
human being can.
She was stunned with grief when
her children married, tainted at the
church, hated her son-in-law and
daughters-in-law violently. She car
ried on when she had to sell the
old home as if she had been turned
into the street. Her stay at nice
quiet family hotel was one long
groan.
The girls husbands got together
and bought her cottage she had
loudly coveted for years. They fur
nished it; moved her in. She
thanked them half-heartedly, and
began to find things wrong with the
furnace, window screens, neigh
borhood and the earth in the gar
den.
Nothing Pleases Her.
Now, five years later, she speaks
bitterly of the children "shunting
her off" into this dreadful little
place, and asserts that she has al
ways hated it.
"She simply is doing everything
she can to ruin our lives" writes
her daughter. "She criticizes the
children's manners and the way we
dress them. She says to them, when
we send them in to call, Don't
bother to come, my dears. Grand
ma knows you don't want to-
1.-THE worst of it is" this letter
concludes, my husbands mother
is darling, helpful and cheerful
and adored by the children. She
and friend keep a boarding house,
so there's no question of her living
here, but if we ask her to dinner
once more than we do mother, there
is trouble. What can one do with a
troublesome, unhappy old lady who
still isn't sick enough for SAM
tarium or poor enough for homer"
The answer is-nothing. If all
through the 30s and the 4Os your
mother wasn't getting ready for
this time, finding amusements and
interests with which to fill it, look
ing forward to the delights of grand
children and to the serene ease
from burden and responsibility that
old age means, nothing will change
her. I would be very careful 70
put your husbands and your CHI
dren's interests first and to concede
as little as possible to this twisted

TOP o. THE MORNING
Adios, Tinsley

Cape Fear area scoutdom will miss
W. Carroll Tinsley, who has been second
in command here since June, 1914. His
services haye been notable and are high
ly appreciated not only by the Scout
organization but the community at
large.
His acceptance of a similar position
at Augusta headquarters of the Geor-
gia-Carolina council headquarters would
be more deeply regretted by Whining,
tonians except that it offers the proba-
bility of more rapid promotion and a
field of wider activities.
Well fitted by talent and training
for his chosen work, his friends here
recognize the fact that he should go
for toward the top, and while reluc-
tant to have him leave wish him God
speed in his new e%ndeavors.

Human Gesture

Big corporations are tr~aditionally
pictured as soulless. But the action of
the A. and P. company's management
in New York during the trucking strike
seems at odds with this time-honored
portrait.
When, as a result of the strike. the
company's 500 New York stores had to
close because of lack of supplies, the
$500 employees were informer that they
would be paid in full for the duration
OF the shutdown, since they were not
to blame for the closing and shouldn't
be penalized.
Certainly this was no more than just.
But it seems a rather kindly and human
gesture, too. Incidentally, the gesture
cost the company something like $780,.
ooO a week-which isn't hay, even for
rich corporation.

Snow In Connecticut

Confronted with the necessity of
choosing between a poet and a former
OPA chieftain, Connecticut democrats
selected the poet for their gubernatoria,
candidate.
The decision is not too easy to ex-
plain, for Chester A. Bowles who head
ed the Office of Price Administration
proved that he is a capable executive
while at that post, and OPA's policies
in the main had been established long
before he came to the office. 1t had
generally been assumed that he would
be the party's choice.
Instead the convention decided to
head the state ticket with the present
lieutenant governor, Wilbert Snow, who
is on the faculty of Wesleyan univer-
slty, and not unknown beyond the
boundaries of the state for his occasional
lapses into poetry.
Can it be that Connecticut demo-
Gratis do not love the OPA less but
poetry more?

Exit Wallace

In asking Secretary of Commerce
Wallace to resign his Cabinet post,
President Truman took the only logical
course open to him. The wonder is that
he delayed so long after Mr.. Wallace
undertook to determine in a public ad-
dress what the nations foreign policy
should be.
The President would be in a much
stronger position before the people to-
day if in the first place he had not
sanctioned the address in advance lob
viously without understanding it's i'm
putations) and secondly if he had de-
manded the Secretary's withdrawal i'm
mediately after it was delivered. AS
it is, Mr.. Truman, despite his final &C
ton, is under a cloud because of his
representation.
However, it is to his credit that he
did take the step, and reaffirmed his
complete confidence in Secretary of
State James F. Byrnes and the policy he
is upholding at Paris, as we'll as IN.
nouncing that no government executive
henceforth may discuss any phase of
national policy without first clearing
through the State Department.
Whatever view may be held of Mr..
Truman by individuals, it must be ap-
parent to everybody that this is in
f~initely better than the Roosevelt in
structions to his hencemen at the last
national democratic convention to "clear
it through Sidney"
Mr.. Wallace is now free to voice his
communistic views as a private citizen,
as the President says, if not exactly in
these words. But the difference is that
he no longer enjoys official standing.
He may not have to attract a Columbus
Circle crowd from a soap box or join
the Grant Avenue orators in San Fran
cisco. Somebody will hire a hall for him
almost any time. There are enough
rich fellow travellers in the country to
pay his way. But instead Of enjoying
the prestige of a Cabinet post he can
at best represent a political minority,
which is a very different thing.
Since he has become so staunch a
Stalinist, they might make a place for
him on the staff of the Daily Worker,
the New York communist newspaper.

Sound Conclusions

Returning from an extensive inspec-
ton tour of the Far East, a sub-com-
mittee of the House Military Affairs
Committee, through it's spokesman de-
clares that it will not only stand square
ly behind Secretary of State Byrnes'
foreign policy, especially as it affects
Russia, but will recommend that bases
built by the United States in the Pacific
be maintained and the national military
establishment strengthened.
The groups position is sound. Mr..
Byrnes is head of the federal depart
ment which, with presidential guidance,
Is commissioned to shape foreign policy.
Once it is shaped it devolves upon all
department heads to give their allegi-
ance and not try to tear it down as
Secretary of Commerce Wallace recent
ly tried to do.
AS for the Pacific bases, which prop
erly include those in the Aleutians and
Alaska, their abandonment, or ever
their reduction, would be the height
OF folly. There must be some unmis-
taxable sign that the United States will
not permit Russian encroachments in
that vast region, and the one sign Rus
STA understands is military strength,
BY maintaining it's strong position in
the Pacific, the United States will not
indicate that it invites war. On the
contrary, it will indicate that it prop
poses to prevent wal by any major
power turned aggressor.
The conclusions of the military sinh.
committee merit the peoples support,
Secretary Wallace to the contrary not.

the use of four no trump bid by
Christian to make sure that his

he said that she could not bid

four hearts without the ace oil

Howard Schenken would like a
five club bid over four hearts, but
he agreed that the seven heart bid
was sound because it would be
next to impossible for Mrs. Wagar
to make the three diamond bid
without the ace of spades. And,
Schenken added, there might not
be a spade opening and North still
could make seven.
Mrs. Wagar said that her part
ner might have read her for the
king-jack of spades and king
queen of clubs, in addition to the
king-queen Of diamonds and king
queen or hearts, but even with
that holding she would not have
made the jump to three diamonds
without an ace in her hand.
Not many experts would advo-

A BULGARIAN STORY
BY L T. ELLIS

Watching the conduct of the Old
World nations, l am reminded of /;
story I heard in Bulgaria. A peas
ant had a neighbor with whom he
was at feud. One night an angel
appeared to him and said that he
could have any boon he desired,
provided that his neighbo,
be given a double portion Of the
same.
"Then I'll have one eye put out
promptly replied the peasant. He
was willing to sacrifice one eve if
his enemy could be made to lose
both eyes.
OF course, that spirit was diabol.
ical; but so is much of the spirit
that animates men and nations to-
day. And it is the antithesis of
the Christian spirit. The worlds
gravest problem is how to SIM
plant the mind of envy. fear
jealousy and greed with the Snirit
Of Christ.
How hideous many of bur mo-
tives must appear in Thy nure
sight. o God! We pray, TODAY .nd
constantly, hat we may have ~
