Warned, an alert and fearful
mayor whisked Richardson and
his Negro cellmate, an accused
murderer TO a nearby town. When
the mob found out what had taken
place they felt cheated and there
was no stopping them.
First they wrecked the restaur-
ant Of a man whose car was sup
posed to have carried the Negroes
to safety. Then they proceeded
methodicaly to destroy Negro
businesses and drive Negro famil-
les from their homes.
They set fire TO a barber shop
and lynched the Negro barber In
his back yard. They were drag
ging his body through the streets
when the state militia stopped
them with gunfire.
The next night a fresh mob de-
cided to make an example OF an
81 year old Negro: he'd been
married TO white woman for 80
years. They lynched him within a
block of the State House.

Second, II shocked a handful of

historical if I make a move

half my relatives and friends.
Nobody hesitates to warn me

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Too many people are ready
to play personal medical adviser
to anyone who has had q heart
attack or any other serious ILL
ness. They usually overlook the
fact that the patient has been
scared half out Of his wits,
wouldn't endanger himself if he
could possibly help it, and would
like to forget about his condi-
ton occasionally.
Franks sister means well and
is terribly concerned about his
condition, but the tension and
she shows are not at all
what he needs.
What his wife lacks as a
housekeeper, she probably more

from "the change" Nevertheless,
the open-minded doctor will
think Of this possibility.
The best way to test the dag
nosis is to see how the patient
feels after taking one of the
testicular hormones. If you get a
man like that and give him this
medicine by hypodermic and by
mouth for a few weeks and his
symptoms begin to clear up, the
diagnosis is practically certain.
I have seen the metamorphosis
in such men. 1t is amazing how

they were. OF course, there are
those who have gone so long
without treatment they are sunk
deeper in their hole Of despera-
ton. For these, gland treatment
plus electro-sleep therapy is the
answer.
If your husband seems like a
Changed man" perhaps there
lis this basis for it. I feel very
strongly that male climacteric
should be considered in every
such person. If your doctor
''pooh-poohs" the idea, I would
even suggest that you ask for an
other opinion.

The nations Social Security
system will be 81 years old in
August.
In the beginning Congress
thought so little Of it no money
was provided to set up an Office.
Today, it's so big the benefit
money it pays out yearly matches
the money spent yearly on all
advertising in the United States.
And, the public takes such an
interest in the benefits that some
nine million general questions a
year are directed at the Social
Security'S local offices. That's
in addition to the millions of
questions people ask about their
own personal problems.
AS big as it is, the system
will continue to grow. Take Old
Age and Survivors Insurance
(OASD, only one Of the nine
benefit programs in the Social
Security system:
Today, eight million persons
are receiving OASI checks
monthly. In Is years, this total
is expected to shoot to IA million.
The payments today total five
billion dollars a year. In Is
years, payments are scheduled
to Jump to IL billion a year.
1t all started back In 1885
when Congress nodded to the
idea of a Government-run old
age pension plan, paid for in
part by deductions from the pay
of certain types of workers and
in part by employers who had
to put up an amount equal to
the worker payments.
The pension payments were
scheduled to start in 1912 with
the minimum amount set at $40
a month and the maximum at
$85 monthly. But, to earn the
maximum a worker had to have
a yearly income Of $4,000 and
must have made payments to
the Government on this amount
for 43 years.
The OASIS two main purposes
were to reduce restitution Of the
aged and to cut the Govern
ment's burden of supplying costly
public assistance.

that his work has fallen off at

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

DIAGNOSIS: Some months
ago, Pianist Artur Rubinstein OBJ
served with some concern that
a hoarseness which had devel-
oped refused to go away. This
was at the peak Of the smoking
cancer discussion, and as Rubin
stein had always enjoyed his
cigars, he began to think the
worst. He went to see a throat
specialist.
This hoarseness has persisted
for weeks" he conflded in a
strained whisper to the doctor.
I've tried all sorts of remedies,
but I can't seem to shake it,"
For the next Is minutes, he
Irecited a long list Of home cures.
The doctor nodded, but did not
say a word. He told the pianist to
come back the following day for
more tests.
After sleepless night. Rubin
stein returned.
"What are these tests for. doc
tor?" he asked. What is 1t you
are looking for2 Is there a basis
then for my concern? Is it really
as bad as / think?"
The doctor listened, but again
did not reply. He told the pianist
to return in a week. BY the end
of that time, Rubinstein was in
a nervous state.
well. doctor, have you found
out what it is? You don't have
to be gentle with me. I've lived
a full life. and If my time has
come, I'm ready. But must know
the reason for this hoarseness.

than makes up for q companion.
She apparently lets her instincts
instead Of her will govern her
conduct to a large extent and
the SiSter-in-law has by no
means shown that those in
stincts are bad-certainly they
are better than the instinct
which prompts Mrs. K. M. to
call her brother a "good-natured
fool"
Anyone who has had as severe
a shock as Frank has, wants to
live as normal an everyday life as
possible. This he could not do
in his sisters home, no matter
how well-ordered it is. Even if
it we're just pride that kept him
from going to her home, this
wen-meaning lady ought to leave
the subject alone. An invalid is
entitled to his pride as much as
ANYONE elSe-and possibly needs
it more.
