FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

COMFORT: The father OF
composer Joannes Brahms hated
the idea of accepting money
from his son. and repeatedly re-
fused the latter's offers. The
composer, however. was de-
termined to support his father
To do so without offending the
old man was a tax on his
ingenuity
Brahms had to take an ex-
tended trip which would keep
him away several months. Be-
fore leaving, he gave his father
a score by Handel, which was
one OF his favorites.

I am gone" he said. "You know
how treasure it. I have told
you many times. father. that
music is the greatest Of COM
forters II, during my absence,
you ever feel discouraged or
your spirits are low. take this
score and read it. In it you will
find all the solace you need"
A few weeks later the elder
Brahms recalled the composers
words. and looked through the
score AS his son had predicted
he found solace indeed, fol
Brahms had inserted bank notes

Have countable hands. And by
"countable" I mean hands con-
tanning suits that are solid
enough so that you can gauge
their trick taking ability with
reasonable accuracy.
Look at Mr.. Muzzy's hand.
How can you possibly tell how
many tricks 1t will take? You
can't. 1t depends on many fac
tors-how the outstanding high
cards are distributed among the
other three hands, how the suits
are distributed around the table.
etc.
When you open with a two bid
you are supposed to be saying
that you don't care what the dis
tribution is (barring extreme
freaks, Of course), and that your
hand will probably make game
with very little help from part
ner.
Even with fairly normal distri-
button around the table, Mr..
Muzzy's hand could win any,
where from six to ten tricks.
And that is figuring on playing
opposite the actual dummy Mr..
Champion put down.
can't say why Mr.. Muzzy in
sisted on playing hearts in this
hand. Not that he had reason to
like no-trump, but at least the
hand would have been better
played by Mr.. Champion-and
three no-trump probably would
not have been doubled.
Mr.. Dale's double of four
hearts was a somewhat lucky
shot. Based on his cards alone
he had no double. But he knows
Mr.. Muzzy's two bids and he
hoped this was one of the weaker
ones.
1t looked as though he could
win two hearts and a club so that
there was little danger of a re-
double or of Mr.. Muzzy making
overtricks. And then there was
the likelihood that Mr.. Muzzy
would drop at least one trick in
the play.
Right. Mr.. Muzzy won the
opening spade lead with the
queen and, seeing no entry to
dummy short of overtaking the
king of spades with the ace. he
banged down the ace and an
other heart. He went down
three, losing three hearts. two
diamonds and club.
Mr.. Muzzy had an "uncount-
able" hand. Note how much bet
ter he would have done if he had
held a countable hand something
like this:

.problem-it's your problem, too.
Heart disease is an afflic-
ton unlike any other. A
cardiac may be in bed and
only mildly i'll, or on his feet
and seriously so. Because
people generally do not waste
away of heart and circulatory
diseases, too few of those
whose responsibility is the
spiritual and emotional we'll
being of his fellowmen realize
what tremendous strain a sick
heart places on the equally
important human resources
of the mind and soul.
Eighty per cent of all heart
attack victims recover and
lead some semblance of their
former lives. But for the first
time they have faced the
possibility of an untimely end,
and fear and anxiety fight to
dominate them. 1t happens
at a time when they need
most to think and act con-
structively, and with courage
and faith. The mental state
has direct bearing on the
cardiac's physical health.
These insure, fearful people
need the kind of help that
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1956-10-06

comes from doctors and the
kind that you can give, too.
AS clergyman, you cannot
minister to a sick heart. But
you can help show the cardial
that living well is more inn
portant than longevity, that a
heart attack is not a death
sentence, that proper caution
doesn't necessarily mean in
yalidism. You can give him
hope.
First however, you need to
know what the human heart
is all about. Understanding
of the physical and mental
consequences of heart disease
are vitaIly necessary to proper
ministry to such people.
The Massachusetts, Heart
Association, through its Clergy
Physician Committee headed
by DR.. Paul Dudley White, has
a kit of information on this
subject, directed at your needs
1t may be obtained without
charge by writing to the
Committee at $50 Beacon
Street, Boston.
You'll find it a valuable
weapon in the fight to bring
new hope to sick hearts.

Tips on Touring

If you think you're an ex-
pert driver, you needn't read
this. But if you're just learn
ilIg-of thinking aheat
brushing up-you may get
some tips from this report.
It's from a friend who Just
finished a driving course
taught by professionals.
On the first day, there's
a two-and-a-half hour class
session. Students see a movie
depicting right and wrong
drivers attitudes, and attend
an instruction period on the
mechanics of driving, utiliz-
ing a scale model car Stu
dents are then given psyche
physical tests to determine
field of vision, night and
glare vision, brake reaction
time, and depth perception.
Results of these tests are
given to the instructor who
accompanies the student for
the rest of the course.
After this, there are ten
twohour periods of instruc-
ton in the automobile. The
student spends one hour of
each period driving and one
hour observing from the back
seat while another student
drives. The observer wears a
safety belt; the instructor
sits next to the driver in the
dualcontrol automobile.
my friend was most i'm
pressed with the "obserya-
ton" idea. She learned a
great deal nv watching the
other students mistakes
and was grateful for the
safety belt more than once.)
Between the ninth and
tenth lesson, the student
must practice driving a mini
mum Of ten hours at home.
Naturally, she must be &C
companied by a licensed
driver.
The final lesson consists of
a comprehensive review of
all instruction and a quail
flying driving test, similar to
the state road test. If the
student wishes, a written
driving analysis will be pro-
vided by the instructor. It
tells the student what her
weak points are so she can
concentrate on improving
them prior to the state test.

It is claimed that his re-

of the accounts enormously

In the Lawrence-Lynn-

CHANGES IN YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY

In the first article Of this
series we outlined the most
important changes in the old
age and survivors insurance
program brought about by the
1856 amendments to the Social
Security Law. Today we shah
discuss Jne kinds vi WORK
which are brought under
social social security for the
first time as Of January /,
1856.
For taxable years after 1855,
persons who work for them
selves-alone or in partnership
-as lawyers, dentists, chiro-
practors, veterina a, ria n
naturopaths, osteopaths, and
optometrists, started building
old-age and survivors in
surance protection for them
selves and their families on
the same basis as self
employed persons previously
covered by the law. It Is
estimated that about 100000
professional people are affect
ed by this change in the social
security law.
Lawyers make up the largest
number Of these newly
covered self-employed pro-
fessionals. AS long ago as 1948,
1t was estimated that 100000
out Of the probably 10000
lawyers in the United States
were self-employed. Most Of
them are already familiar
with the Insurance provisions
OF social security. They have
had occasion to observe and
study it in connection with
the affairs of their clients.
Moreover, because of the close
Relationship; between legal
practice ana fields such as
business management, real
estate, finance, and politics,
many lawyers had moved into
other lines of work covered
by social security before 1856.
A great many OF them came
under social security as en-
ployees of other lawyers; others
acquired military wage credits
under social security during
active service with the Armed
Forces. In fact, it is estimated
that at least 80 percent of all
presently self-e m ployed
lawyers, at one time or another
have accumulated some earn
ings credits under the old-age |
and survivors insurance pro- |
gram. To these lawyers, in |
particular, the extension of
coverage is of marked import
ance. The social security
credits they have built up
would have steadily declined |
in benefit value in the years
ahead; in the case of many
young lawyers, they would
eventually have disappeared
altogether.
In many professions a long
period OF time is required for
professional training. The
earning capacity in many
cases does not commence as
early in life, Therefore as that

sional individual. Moreover, in
starting a practice, it is
necessary In many professions
to furnish an Office with
expensive equipment and for

income before a reasonable |
return is realized. A profess |

and family is in need of the

security affords to young
widow and minor children
during those years.

coverage after 1850 in acquir-
