would be high on the list. In nationwide
Gallup Poll people from all walks of life were
asked the following question: Everybody
makes mistakes now and then. Will you tell
me what you consider to be the biggest mis-
take of your life so far?'
The reply made far more frequently than
any other was: Didn't get enough education.
Mistakes relating to marriage ran a poor
second, wrong choice of a career close third.
Studies show that the more education
you've had, the more likely you are to wish
you had even more University graduates
have an even greater thirst for more education
than those who have never attended college
Q: What do you ,rGnt most in life?
n: Ask most people this question and they
say: happiness Ask them what happiness
means to them and you'll get some very re-
vealing answers. A national public-opinion
poll did this, with the following results:
The answer most frequently given was suf-
ficient money. Contentment got the next
largest number of votes, running rather poor
second. Family life ranked third; health
fourth friends fifth; and satisfaction from
work only got enough votes to rate sixth place
These findings confirm what leading soci-
oogists have frequently noted, marked

to live to be 100 than those in their 20's And
the highest percentage of would-be centenar-
ians was found among men and women who
had passed their fiftieth birthday.
Why some people didn't want to live as
long as 100 years is reflected by their typical
comments: Just sitting around and becoming
old and useless would be no fun" Nobody
loves you when you're old and gray. "If
you're going to do any good in life, you should
be able to do it before you get to be 1907.
Il might be sick and helpless - just burden
on someone
Those who did want to live to be 100 looked
at it differently:"I l enjoy living want to see
what the atomic age is like" Life is a
wonderful show and couldn't stand missing
any of the acts. Il know like this world,
but don't know about the other oner'
Why is it that appreciably fewer women
than men want to live this long? In summing
up their findings, the investigators cite two
principal reasons: "One undoubtedly is the
fear of fading beauty, another the fear of having
no means of support without man around"
Q: You'd you like to hare a better educ0-
ton?
A: II the average person were asked to name
the things he wants most out of life, evidence
indicates that in most cases better education

overevaluate money as factor in personal
happiness. Studies show that people who re-
gard money as more important than anything
else seldom, if ever, find real happiness.
Q: Do you ,oish you had deeper and
more satisfying religious faith?
4: If you're like nine out of 10 Americans you
do. But surveys show that most of us spend
very little time trying to attain it. Findings
of leading polls and sociological studies make
it crystal clear that (D though the average
man feels vital need of greater spiritual
resources he is too preoccupied with material
matters to do much about it. (2) In most
cases going to church gives him a sense of
inner peace and spiritual uplift But more
often than not he attends seldom or irregu-
larly - because he's too busy" or other in
ducements intervene. (3) He believes in the
efficacy of prayer, and in its ability to restore
peace of mind and perspective - but he is apt
to turn to prayer only as last resort, in
crisis where all else has failed.
Evidence all up and down the line indicates
that the average man fully realizes that he
can't live by bread alone. but he's so busy
getting that bread and butter - and jam for
it, too - that sustenance for his spirit has to
wait, often until the hunger pains become
dlstresslngly acute. The End

ton of men and women in all walks of life
throughout the nation. The majority of
Americans said they'd either save the money,
invest it, use it to help buy home or pay off
the mortgage. Only Ia per cent would use this
cash to buy car, new household furnishings
or clothes. Less than seven per cent would use
it for travel. And only three per cent would
spend it on having good time
Q: You'd you like to IiUe to be 100?
A.: Judging from how most people feel, the
odds are just slightly better than even that
you would. A little over half of the popu-
lation figure that the longer you live the more
you get out of life, and they would like very
much to be able to celebrate their hundredth
birthdays. But the rest view the prospect
with a distinct lack of enthusiasm.
In narecent nationwide survey, the American
Institute of Public Opinion interviewed men
and women of all ages on this question. Fifty
seven per cent said they would like to live to
be 100, 80 per cent said they definitely would
not, and IL per cent couldn't make up their
minds. Far more men than women wanted to
reach this ripe old age - ironic fact, since the
ladies tend to be the longer-lived sex.
The survey also showed that as rule, the
older person gets the longer he wants to live.
Appreciably more people in their 40's wanted

Murray Says Low Pay
Drives Men Off Force

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
last night told the Lido Civic
Club that low police pay is driv-
ing too many men OF the force.
He said designations have been
averaging 10 q month"; He has
had five designations this week,
he said. He pointed out that
money used to recruit and train
men is wasted when they leave
for better-paying work. More
experienced men are also leaving,
he said.
Chief Murray asserted the de-
partment Is doing a good Job
in spite Of the added burdens of
special details and handling
some 4 million visitors a year.
The Lido Club presented Chief
Murray with a check for the

Present 5 Demands

roads should carry the full
expense.
Notices of the new demands
were served on 311 railroads.
Bargaining will begin on a local
level. But Mr.. Leighty said the
union had established a national
bargaing group, in anticipation
that the local representatives
will be unable to reach q salts

The normal procedure is for
the unions to take a strike vote

issue comes to a head.

.ALETTER FROM
BILL LANTAFF

Dear Neighbor.
Highlights of the Inauguration,
without a doubt, was the inaugu-
raj address delivered by Presi-
dent Eisenhower in which he out
lined nine fixed principles to
guide this country in pressing its
case for peace before the bar of
history.
Many observed the address and
these principles as the broadcast
internationalist declaration to
come from the mouth of any Re-
publican President, as President
Eisenhower closely embraced the
present foreign policy initiated
Under President Truman.
The new President treasured
Europe that America would not
retreat from it's role of world
leadership and endorsed the con-
tinuation of our Point Four pro-
gram as a means to strive to help
our proven friends of freedom
achieve their own security and
Well-being. In his address he re-
jected any insinuation that one
race or another is in any sense
inferior or expendible, which ap-
peared to correct the impression
left by President Eisenhower early
in the political campaign to "let
Asians fight Asans." He, also,
urged this country's participation
in the United Nations to help
strengthen the bonds between
the free nations of the world and
stated that we should respect the
United Nations as the living sign
of all peoples hope for peace and
TO strive to make II not merely
an eloquent symbol but an effec-
tive force.
President Eisenhower's address
while it was bad news for the so
called isolationist wing OF his own
party, was given bipartisan praise
by members of Congress and
hailed by leaders throughout the
world as reinsurance that he
would promote most of our pres
emit policy in the foreign field.
The stand taken by President
Eisenhower also hit the stand of
members of his own party who
have announced opposition to the
United States participation and
membership in the United Nations.
II was, on the other hand, reas-
