FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

EFFICIENCY: When Will
Rogers and his wife decided to
build their home in California
they discovered that their ideas
about it conflicted.
To avoid disputes, they hit
upon a novel agreement. When
ever the humoriSt was out Of
town, Mrs. Rogers was to have
carte blanche in carrying Out
her plans, and when she was
away, he was to be free to in
dulge his pet idea.
This left the humorist at a
disadvantage, as he was away
more often than his wife. Rogers
however, made up for this by
using more efficient methods.
Whenever Mrs. Rogers was to
leave town. he would have an
army of workmen waiting in the
bushes until her departure. The
moment she drove out the front
gate. they would swarm over the
house like termiteS.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
writing to thank you for your
many fine columns in the Wash
Iington Star.
have been an R.N. since the
Spring of 1914 and many of your
statements have been what !
have told my patients, some al
most word for word. But you
will forgive me if I think nurses
also contribute to the health
program.
I have been associated with
many doctors and nurses since
II first entered nurse training in
1908. and I am convinced both
phases of the profession are
necessary. Sincerely yours, Mrs
IL. Nice.
Answer: Doctors-and patients
would be helpless indeed with
out the nursing profession.
Years ago I believed the one
who stood between the pneumo-
mia patient and death was the
nurse rather than the doctor. All
we doctors could do was order
Iturpentine stupes for distention
and codeine for pain and cough
and then await hopefully for the
crisis" But who really carried
the ball? 1t was the nurse. Nurses
worked 12-hour shifts then. I'd
see them come "off the case
after a day or night of work and
they often looked worse than
the patient
Anyone who has ever been
quite i'll for week or two will
agree that angels of mercy" is
not too trite or unreal a term
to apply to nurses.
There were nurses before the
medical profession came into
being. And if ever we have push
button" Univac or IBM madeline,
doctors-aS Such-may diSap-
pear. but the need for personal
nursing service will remain as
long as man inhabits the earth,
1 believe nurses are underpaid.
I believe we need many more of
them. I believe the nursing pro-
feSsion has turned out graduates
who are good material for future
homemakers and mothers.
I don't imagine Mrs. L. Nice.

THE DETAILS

Mrs. j. T. R.-Over the past
three years, my husband has
loaned quite bit of money to
our married daughter and hel
husband to help pay heavy doc
tor and hospital bills for a child
who has died. Now we must de-
eide what attitude to take about
the loan.
We are poor people, and the
money lent is what we depended
upon to supplement social Sc
curlty on retirement. On the
other hand. our daughter was
extremely reluctant to take the
money and did not do SO before
eXhausting all her other sources
& My daughter and son-in-law
are now badly in debt and, of
course. they have not got over
their feeling of great loss. ]
thought We might boost their
spirits by telling them we don't
expect them to repay the money
and would not accept it if they
offered to. My husband, how
ever, disagrees.
J. L. RI can't see that We
would help the children if we
made ourselves destitute and
dependent by giving up our nest
egg. Suppose, in five years. when
my retirement is due, that we
are unable to make ends meet
and the children have to sacri-
flee to help us. Will that be good
for anyone?
l am not dunning them for
the money and don't propose to.
I know they didn't spend the
money for pleasure. and l know
they are in no position to pay
it back now, 1 also know they
have more pressing debts.
This does not mean. however,
that l must encourage them to

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The solution to this problem
lies between the two conflicting
viewpoints.
This loan has to be repaid be-
cause the money is the basis for
the independence of two aging
people. The daughter and SON.
in-law should. however, have the
clear assurance that the parents
do not need this money for a
definite interval and do not ex-
pect it. Evidently the parents
are able to wait most or all of
the five years before retirement.
and it will help the younger
couple if they are told that.
Otherwise there will be embar-
rassment, strain and perhaps a
creeping resentment in the re-
lation of the two generations.
1t is definitely not wise to for
give a debt of this nature. but
it is just as unwise to leave the
debt hanging over the heads of
the younger couple. Make a def
mite. clean-cut arrangement that
will protect the older folks from
loss of their independence and
the younger folks from worry
and bad conscience. Such an
agreement would spur them to
settle all their debts and get on
their feet again.

BOOBIES RESUME
BRACE SETUP FOR
WINNING NUMBER

Bookies in the Washing
ton area apparently have
decided that the old method
of selecting the daily num-
ber' is more wholesome than
they once believed.
So they have returned to
the practice of selecting the
three figures from the first
three races of the day. But
instead of taking the mutuel
figures from Pimlico, as has
been traditional, they have
switched the operation to
Balmoral at Chicago.
Recently a wave of success
by their customers caused
gamblers to change from the
first three-race system to
the use of seven races on a
daily card. This led to a
longer day and more oppor-
tunity for police raids.
The Seven-race system
was tried for a time because
it appeared bettors had been
able to rig numbers by
wagering at the track.

large to meet requirements in
other areas.
AS to what he will do in the
House, Mr.. Vorys pointed out
THAT Chairman Richards lis a
popular member, and I would
want to do considerable recon-
Inoitering before sponsoring
restoration motion"
\ Il would want to find out if
the committee action is to be the
answering party line of the
Democrats, because in that case
the chances of restoration would
he light" Mr.. VoryS added.
The committee also reversed
an earlier decision by striking
out the provision inviting the
President to appoint a five-man
citizen commission to review the
whole foreign aid program be-
tween now and January. But
committee members pointed out
the President may appoint such
a commission without authority
from Congress.
! Mr.. Vorys said he opposed the
elimination of the commission
because its adoption last week
was used as one excuse for cut
ting the program to await the
commission report in January.
Having used the commission
idea for that purpose. Mr.. Vorys
indicated he thought it was in
consistent to take it out.
/ Instead of allowing the Pres
iident to make 10-year commit
ments, on which he had intended
to use 500 million a year. the
committee wrote in a declaration
Iof policy setting forth the in
tention of Congress to continue
a foreign aid program as long
as it is necessary. But this car
ried with it no specific commit
ments.
The motion for a 81 billion
cut in military aid carried, 10
to IL.
Representative Smith, Repub-
lican of Wisconsin, tried to go
further by cutting another 5000
million from military aid, but
failed.

In defense of the cut. Repre-
sentatives Richards and Fulton
pointed out that the Govern
ment already has on hand I'M
spent balances Of $50 billion
flor military aid and $l.8 billion
for economic aid. They said this
would keep the pipeline filled
for two years or longer.
Mr.. Richards said other fac
, tors he considered were the ac-
ton of France in transferring
its military strength from NATO
to Africa, the British reduction
in its overall defense program
and the current discussion of
changing the direction of NATO
from a military to a political
and economic alliance.
