NEGATIVE QUALITIES HAVE
BEEN EMPHASIZED

Man has made great deal of prog
ress in chronological way, which
has altered the course of his life to
very considerable degree. We call
this our culture. Within this cul-
ture he has made little, if any, prog
ress in tanning his negative qualities.
He is hostile, overly aggressive, self
centered, and greedy. In fact Our very
culture has emphasized these mega
tive qualities and has invested them
with merit. What young man, after
obtaining his education, does not look
forward>to going out to exploit some
source of wealth? How many young
people turned out of our schools are
concerned with the thought of giving
service to society?
Religion and culture as expressed
in our churches have improved our
human relations little. The churches
have been too concerned with the
perpetuation of ritual and have plac-
ed almost their entire emphasis on
the salvation of the soul. The great
preponderence of the teachings of
the Master dealt with human re-
lationships but the clergy have cir
cumlocuted the subject, no doubt for
security reasons.

Unfortunately, the human race has
no natural function by which it can
protect itself against mental aber-
ration, such as it has against ply
steal injury. Hysteria and fanaticism
have taken hold of large masses of
people throughout history. We can
recall such incidents of the past as
the ChiIdren's Crusade, the Inquisi-
ton, the Salem Witchcraft, to find
examples of the mass breakdown of
reason. The mass murder of the Jews
in Germany, McCarthyism and the
hysteria over Communism which has
currently taken hold of the people in
this country are no less the break
down of reason.
When the physical body succumbs
to illness, nature sets out to cure the
disease. When mental illness occurs
nature seems to stand aloof and
watch the disintegration of the per-
sonality. We recognize physical ill
ness when it attacks an entire popu-
ation but we recognize mental i'll
ness, only when it attacks an individ-
lal to the extent that he deviates
from the group.

The science of the mind is a field

ment. In view of our colossal fail

found problems with which we, the
people, are confronted - tremendous
and profound, only because of our
helplessness in solving them-it might
be well to look deeper into the in
ner recesses of the human mind to
try to discover what is back of our
stupid course toward self-annihila-

Through all the countless ages of
mans existence he has not made ap-
preciable progress in understanding
himself or his relationship to his So
ciety. According to Bertrand Russell
human beings still have only the in

US a pattern upon which to build the

old patterns are useless if we are to

girls, and they asked me these
questions:
Does the onager belong to the
donkey family? How did he get
his name? Where are these
animals found? What kind of
work do they do? Are they easy
to tame and keep? What do
they eat? How big are they,
and can they kick?"
OnagerS are natives of South
Central Asia. and they belong to
the donkey family. The name
"onager" came from the Greek
and means wild donkey"
Onagers run wild in Iran,
Pakistan and a few parts Of
Western India. Some of them

There is quite a lot Of con-
fusion about how to use Junior
and Second" correctly when
they are appended to names.
The matter is somewhat COM
plicated, but perhaps this dis
cussion will make the distinction
a little clearer.
First Of all, let us remember
that Junior" and Second" do
not mean the same thing. Junior
is a word from the Latin. and
means younger. Junior is used
principally to designate a son
who has the same full name as
his father.
Second is used to designate
the younger of two close rela-
tives, other than father and son,
who have identical names, such
as grandfather and grandson, or
uncle and nephew.
To go a bit further, Third" is
used most commonly to dis
tinguish between a father who is
a junior, and his son who bears
the same name.

There are other and simpler
forms of the safety play. In
other words, any play you make
which is calculated to give you
a better chance for your contract
falls, broadly. into the safety
play classification.
There was such play in to-
days deal but Mr.. Muzzy over
looked it-possibly because OF its
very simplicity.
Mrs. Keen opened the eight
of spades in response to her
partners opening bid in that
suit. This card didn't particu-
larly look like singleton. Mr..
Meek had bid spades but he
had never rebid them. There
were only three spades in dunn
my and two in Mr.. Muzzy's hand
"a total of five. If the eight
were a singleton. then Mr.. Meek
had a seven-card suit. Very un-
likely.
But however unlikely, there
was a play Mr.. Muzzy could have
made which would have practi-
cally guaranteed his contract.
What he actually did was to
win the first trick in his own
hand with the ace of spades
and lay down the king of dia-
monds. Mr.. Meek took the Sec
ond trick and returned the ten
of spades, which Mrs. Keen
ruffed. Now a club lead to Mr..
Meek's ace defeated the hand.
IT tried to get trumps out as
fast as could" walled Mr..
Muzzy.
TOO fast" commented Mr..
Abel wryly. "You should have
done something else first. Win
the first trick with dummy'S
king of spades. Lead the ace of
hearts and discard your last
spade. Then when Meek got in
with the ace of trumps and re-
turned a spade you could ruff
high and pick up the remain
ing trump"
Mr.. Abel was so right. It was
not too unlikely that Mrs. Keen
had a lone spade. But the odds
were overwhelming that she had
at least one heart in her hand.

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS

Would you believe it if ! told
you that the total number of per-

ulation of the State of Florida?
Or nearly as many as the total
population of Chicago and Phila-

We passed the 100000 mark be-
fore 1852 left us and judging by
the way claims are pouring in,
We'll be we'll over, 100000 be-
fore 1858 passes on.
The above means that over five
million retired persons, their
wives and minor children, and
widows, minor children and de-
pendent parents of deceased
workers are receiving monthly
benefits. These more than five
million persons are mighty thank
full to have checks coming to
them each and every month - it
helps out a lot. And the beauty
part" as one of them told me,
was that they had bought this
protection so "painleSSly" it
was taken out of their pay and
they really hadn't felt it at all.

ance is just what its name i'm

cient length of time. If the de-
ceased was survived by widow

over monthly benefits would be
payable in addition to a lump
sum death benefit. These bene-
fits might run from $18.75 to
$16890 monthly depending on his
earnings and the number of elig-
ible survivors Lump sums run
from $75 to 1925. Retirement

A Letter From
BILL LANTAFF

Last week your Congressman
discussed with you the primary
reason for the lack of Congress
sional action on measures invoIv-
ing social security, tax reduction
and revision of our revenue laws.
AS many of you know, as it
was pointed out, we operate
through committees in Congress
and all legislation proposing
changes in social security or tax
laws is referred to the House
Ways and Means Committee.
While there have been over 800
bills introduced by various mem
bers of Congress to revise the ex-
listing laws covering these sub
jects, the chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee, Republic
can Representative Dan Reed has
taken the stand of refusing to
consider any of this legislation
until his tax reduction bill is
brought to the floor of the House.
Since the Rules Comittee, which
sets the House calendar, is SEEM
ingly following the presidents
policy to consider balancing the
budget before tax reduction, they
have refused to clear the Reed
Bill for House consideration.
Therefore, no hearings have been
scheduled on the other $40 bills.
The. Rules Committees refusal
to clear the Reed Bill and Rep
resentative Reeds refusal to con-
slider any of this other legislation
means that over $50 bills propos-
ing amendments to the social Sc
curity laws are bottled up.
President Eisenhower in his
State of the Union message to
Congress said, "The provisions of
the Old-Age and Survivors In
Surance Law should promptly be
extended to cover millions of
citizens who have been left out
OF the Social Security System"
Under the Presidents proposal
numerous professional and self
employed people, who are now
exempt from the system, would
be required to- come under the.
plan. Numbered among the $50
bills introduced are many that
might correct the inequities in the
present social security system.
Some proposals include the two
principal planks of the Townsend
Plan, namely, complete coverage
of all aged people on pay-as-
you-go basis. PROFESSIONALLY, the
present social security law IS de-
fecfive in many ways. There are
