You can now own the all-new Motora-
mic Chevrolet for less than it costs for
most other cars, used or new. If your
trade-in is worth more than the down
payment. the monthly payments may
be even less than $47.8S (or the power
full big 2-door sedan illustrated). This
includes fire, theft, collision and life in
surance. For low cost and high perfor-
nance, drive the powerful '55 Chevrolet.

BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN


There is no place on earth
more interesting than a rail-
way station and few as fas-
cinating. There one can OBJ
serve, in a speeded up tempo,
most of the human emotions.
A few days ago I had a stop
over of about an hour and a
half in one, and at first felt
annoyed at this delay. Then
I thought, After all, it will
be better than many Broad
way plays" I seated myself
advantageously. Even though
I heard only fragments Of
conversation it was fairly easy
to know what was going on In
general in the various groups
and between couples.
Meetings
There is always the husband
meeting his wife or the wife
meeting her husband. Too
often these meetings are grim
affairs. Too often they are
simply matters of routine.
Meeting someone we love
should never be that.
In a railway terminal you
always see many young cou-
pies with their small fry,
short on money and in the
midst Of the hecticness which
young children create. / al
ways love it when I see young
parents, weary but smiling,
and hate it when a mother
Jerks her over-tired child or
q father swats 1t.
In a railway station you see
those who are going on sad
Journeys ana those who are
returning to loved surround
ings and to those they love.
You see people of all classes,
races and ages, in all kinds OF
clothes, going about their
various businesses.
You Find Everything
You sense eternal spring in
glad meetings and tragedy in
sad ones. In a railway station
you can find everything; the
fat woman in Stacks, the rich
woman in mink, the spry
Snowman, the salesman, the
tired commuter. the young
sweethearts. the young par
ents, the fluttery middle aged
woman, bored middle aged
couples, touchingly tender
older folks, the harried mem
beers Of various families who
are trying to bring things into
focus.
Here are q few of the things
I overheard; "OK, OK Ill.
Let's not continue that. I've
been away for a week. Do we
have to start on that same old
song again?"
Keep your chin up, dearest.
! know 1t is hard but re-
member"
81 did NOT get the con-
tract and I suppose you think
1t is my fault"
IF you took care Of the
children for just one day you

giddy, unwise things If the
world were turned over to
them for any length Of time,
but at least they wouldn't
commit the ultimate folly of
deliberately negotiating them
selves closer and closer to a
chasm in which we'd all be
bound to perish.
And don't brush me aside by
calling me a feminist or hint
ing that I want a job In this
experiment. I'd run a mile If
anybody even suggested elect
ing me to an Office. In fact.
I've been taking sprinting les
sons ever since an apparently
serious poll of tourists passing
through a cave in Missouri
listed me as one Of 10 female
vice presidential possibilities.
And, if I hadn't known it was
just a joke. I'd have gone at
my sprinting practice harder
than ever when somebody re-
ported that Disk Jockey Jack
Eigen of Chicago suggested me
for president. I toss through
enough sleeplesS nights be-
cause of the mistakes I make
in private life without adding
anguished hours because of
unwise official decisions.
But I know women who
could take it-anxiety and all
and some Of them would be
willing to if they thought the
interests of the country would
be served. Is it too far-fetched
just to try?

q good idea that is, and the
real officials are benevolent
and helpful.
I'd like us to hold this In
ternational Ladies Day (or
even better, Year, for the sole
purpose of testing out a the
ory / have that going to war
in all its forms, the masculine
way of settling disagreements,
is completely foreign to wom-
en-. If, as certainly appears, we
can't Immediately reconcile
our national or regional diff
ferences around the council
table, it would be a rest from
tension to know that If we were
going to have fights, they'd be
woman-type.
When two men get into a
really tough argument, the US
ual windup is that one gentle
man invites the other to step
outside and settle it with fists.
But when two women get into
an imbroglio. they almost in
variably proceed to a nasty
name-calling session that lasts
until one of the participants
run out of epithets, haughtily
tosses her head and stomps
off. Then comes a period when
the two cut each other dead,
going to extravagant lengths
to do it. Eventually this gets to
be boring and inconvenient for
both participants since neither
gets invited to places where
the other is to be-the feud
makes bystanders nervous. At
length on some slight pretext
the girls fall on each others
necks, have a cup of coffee
together and thereafter-or
until the next donnybrook-
are best friends.
I submit that while woman's
political world might not be
as neat and tidy as mans,
also land homicide statistics
back this up) it wouldn't be
as lethal. No sane female, re-
gardless of provocation. could
coolly contemplate a step
which would involve, among
other things, needless destruc-
tion and suffering for children.
