FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. Z. EDGAR


WASTE: John Barrymore
was in California shortly after
the outbreak of World War II.
One night. when he was attend
ing a party, there was an air
raid alarm.
He looked out of the window
and saw the brilliant searchlight
beams sweeping the sky. For
some minutes he watched. Then,
with sigh, ne turned away
and muttered:
What a shame! All those
beautiful spotlights and not a
one playing on mel"
SPORT: Author Oscar Wilde
possessed powerful frame in his
youth, but even at that age he
had no taste for physical exer-
ton.
After he entered oxford. he
was urged by classmates to try
out for the crew. He would not
even consider the suggestion.
But the crew needs you," in
sisted his classmates. Besides.
the sport is exhilarating."

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I read
your column in yesterdays paper
in regard to an Anti-Fat Club.
II am very much interested in
joining one as have been want
ing to lose weight for years. Each
day I say to myself: Tomorrow
III go on a diet-and the fol-
lowing day l will find ONE silly
excuse for not starting. This has
been going on for years. l am
beginning to think it is hope
less.
Il am sure that if I belonged
to such club as you described
in your column l would be de-
ltermined to stick on a diet for
my health's sake and also to i'm
prove my appearance.
Il hope there is such a club
here in st. Louis and that you
would be kind enough to send
me the name of it. Sincerely,
Mrs V. H"
And here is another letter re-
Iceived on the same day:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I read
all of your columns with interest,
and was especially interested in
your article on the Anti-Fat
Club.
1T seems to me that such club
would be enthusiastically received
in my neighborhood. 1 am willing
to give of my time and energy in
organizing a club. but find that
I need more information on how
to start, and by what rules to
keep it going. Just any informa-
ton you could send me will be
greatly appreciated. DR.. Stein
crohn. Such a club would be a
great help mentally. l am posi-

will qualify that. / believe
that it is primarily an individual
problem; that obesity is serious
enough to deserve a personal
frontal attack. However, If q
patient has tried for months to
reduce and. for psychological OF
other reasons fails, then he de-
serves the comfort and instilla-
ton of confidence that others
likewise afflicted can supply.
I have known many patients
who owe their obesity cures
to an "a. (anti-adiposity) club
rather than to me. Alcoholics
Anonymous was at first dispar-
aged and ridiculed. But its merits
in the cure of chronic alcoholism
are now accepted by laymen and
physicians alike. l believe that
its younger brother a.a. (anti-
adiposity) can serve as well in
the field of obesity.
Therefore, Mrs. v. H. and Mrs.
G. U. O.-go to it! And good
luck!

Ier you join a club or not-diet-
ing is an intensely personal cru
isade against fat.

anyone should worry about max
ing a few enemies in the course
of trying to put over a particular

husband to go around patching
fences after me. I'd rather be
right than liked"
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is very difficult to reason
with a person who has decided
it is better to be right than
liked" but it may help Mary
toward a more mellow viewpoint
to realize that more seasoned
politicians than she is consider
being liked very important
part of political campaigning.
Mary is now convinced she has
come to certain decisions on the
basis of the objective facts, but
the pattern of her behavior sug-
gests another possibility. She not
only has taken a position OPP
posed to her husbands, her
friends and most of the mem
beers of her community, but has
been, according to her husband,
violent" about it.
Mary should recognize she has
a responsibility toward her hus-
band and family as we'll as the
world. Martin is evidently a
loving person, who wants
to feel comfortable with his
friends and neighbors. 1t is hard
ly fair to disrupt his life. Mary
should be warned that marriages
have broken up over situations
like this.
Martin can help his wife gain
some equilibrium in this new
found interest by discussing po-
litical issues with her in as cool
and detached a manner as pos
sible.

Children between the ages Of
Z and IA are also presumed by
the law to lack the capacity fully
to understand the nature Of

Conviction Possible
However, this is a presumption
which prosecutors are allowed
to overcome. II II can be shown
that the comprehension and in

Children over IL are presumed

Of crime-and- punishment where

And there were shepherds in

field, and keeping watch over
their flocks. And an angel of the
Lord stood by them, and the
glory Of the Lord shone round
about them: and they were sore
afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
be not afraid; for behold, bring
you good tidings of great Joy
which shall be to all the people
for there is born to you this day
in the city Of David. a Savior
which is Christ the Lord.
And this is the sign unto:
Ye shall find a Babe wrapped in

was with the angel a multitude
of the heavenly host praising
God and saying, Glory to God in
