how they all reacted and the
gang here at my office felt the
same way. 1 was so saddened,
went right to bed instead of
watching the 1890 program on
Channel 4 as I usually do. The
solution? l wish I knew, prob
ably you can come up with
one!!"
AS near as I can get it, Hal
March made a mistake when he
didn't promptly disqualify Ben
nett land his guest expert) when
both of their varying answers
were wide of the mark on the
very first part of the question.
This question was:
Frst-Lincoln hoped that the
Southern States could be per-
SuGded voluntarily to enancipdte
their sldUeS, If Federal compen-
Sation Were offered. Writing to
Senator McDougal of California
March II, 1862, Lincoln outlined
the cost OF compenSating the
States. HoW much did Lincoln
propose to pay for each slaue?
Also, as an illustration, Lincoln
figured the cost for the State of
Delaware. HoD much-to the
nearest 100000 - Was this
amount?
Bennett answered $4,000 to the
first part and Newman amended
this to $1,000. The correct
answer was $500.
Hal moved on to another part
of the question saying he'd come
back to that later, was evidently
cued to return and disqualified
Bennett.
Now another gentleman who
also didn't watch the program
Tuesday has entered the fray.
He is Lincoln biographer Care
Sandburg.
The evidence is that Sandburg
would have funked the question,
too. He called the first part of
the question silly and palpably
unfair"
He also said he did not recall
the sum of $400 being mentioned
by Lincoln.
My guess is that THE $4,000
Question" will probably come up
with the evidence verifying the
figures and letter next Tuesday.
AS for giving Bennett another
chance, I doubt it. This isn't the
kind of technically that merits
a second chance for a contestant.
If $500 can be proven to be the
right figure, Bennett is out of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-23

luck. The $4,000 Question will
want to back its experts in the
matter-though Sandburg's blast
and the reaction Of fans may
lead to further cogitation. Parti-
cularly if the, sovereign sponsor
gets worried.
Bennett apparently has the
sympathy Of the viewers, as do
most of the carefully screened
candidates. My first column in
the Sunday Stars brand-new
TeleVue will cover that very sub
Iject. Could you win the $4,000?

THIS ~ THAT
BY Hazel Underwood

Edwin Way Teaie, in Your Life,
says "the ones who keep the
world cheered up and working at
It's best express their appreciation
70 those who deserve IT,"
We all have friends who are do
ing good jobs, yet they are very
discouraged. You wonder why and
then learn that at home they are
always nagged and never hear
word Of praise No matter how
old we get we are still "a child at
heart and when I'VE know we have
done a good job, why not say a
word or two in praise Of your
loved ones efforts?
A child will work and work TO
win one word Of praise from its
mother a pat, a hug. or kiss We
are just grown up children, so
don't be so stingy with your
praise.
Jerome p. Fleishman said, Il
believe there is more satisfaction
in patting a man on the back
than in standing on his neck"
That is very true. You see 1t in
homes, offices and on the street.
A happy home is one where the
members let each other know they
are loved and appreciated every
day, not once a year.
You say, "of course she knows
like the food, / eat is, don't II"
or another one may say, "she
ought TO know 1 love her without
having to tell her. Didn't / marry
herr" still another says, do you !
thing l would take care Of her
like do If / didn't love herr"
OF course that is so, but flowers |
need water to grow and after they |
are in bloom they stin need water,
so love needs to be nourished and |
kept alive and 1t will surely die IL |
you do not show and tell your
mate you love and appreciate all |
they do for you. Do not only say
II, but by doing the best you can
to make life pleasant for them,
prove your words and you viii |
have a very happy home, one all
Of you will be anxious TO ccme TO
att he close Of the day.
Another very important thing in
our lives should be our word. SO
many think nothing of breaking
their word. II your word cannot be
depended upon you should not
wonder why you are Stunned when
big jobs are being given to men
you think are not as qualified to
take them as you are. That may
be true in one way, but no matter
how smart you may be, your en-
ployer has to have a man at the
helm whose WORD is his bond"
When you say you will be at GER
tain place at a certain time, be
there, but II you find you cannot
keep the appointment then the
St. Paul recorder., 1956-11-02

least you can do is call as early as
possible and explain your reason
for not being able to keep your
word. Don't sit at home and say,
"oh, 1t won't hurt him to wait a
while, he will go on after he sees
I am not coming" No, it won't
hurt him, but it will hurt you in
many ways. He win know your are
not to be relied upon and If your
word is no good, that is very bad,
indeed.
A Word to Our st. Paul Re-
corder (R) and Minneapolis
Spokesman (S) friends.
To the Staff: Receiving the
papers Saturday morning was like
getting a great big bunch of let
ters.
To the Twin City Maids and
Matrons Bridge Club: 1 thought of
you at the meeting at Bea
Terry's and missed being with you
but am happy here.
