MIR. SHENER is a very nice fellow.
Abe hanM.s

He is a good businessman, good family man
and he is vitality interested in the community in
which he lives.
1t can be said almost without exception that
Mr.. Shener gives generously to the United Com
munity Campaign, Combined Jewish Appeal, Hebrew
Free Loan Association, Easter Seals, Tubercular
Seals; buys pencils from the New York Blind ties
from the Veterans of Foreign Wars; pays dues to
the Temple, Shu Bnai Birth, ZOA; buys tickets
for raffles, card parties, nah jongg and dances.
He attends carnivals, bingo nights and masque-
rades when he would have liked to remain at home
with good book.
He eats barbecue, spaghetti, gefilte fish, home
baked cakes latkes and all the other michels' at
affair after another until plain lettuce and tomato
sandwich becomes royal treat.
Mr. Shener smiles through it all, because he
knows that all the organizations have wonderful
projects which help the SICK the aged the INDECENT
the helpless and the hopeless.
BUT NOW Mr. Shener, the very nice fellow is
turning blue.
Currently he is being stranged unceremonously
by volunteer fund-raisers who have found another
method of stripping his pocketbook
At this very moment Mr.. Shener is being tackled
by no less than five different organizations asking
him to shell out from his business for ad in their
journal or ad books
Mr.. Shener has an advertising budget for his
business. And good member of the Jewish COM
munity he budgets advertising for the local Anglo
Jewish newspaper. He knows such paper is the
record of communal history the feblood that links
Jewry throughout the world. And he finds great
benefit in this personal advertising approach to
good purchasing group
But what, asks Mr. Shener, comes from an 'ad
book that most often is thrown away quickly after
the dance, tea, or dinner?
The organizational lady selling the 'ad' gives Mr..
Shener of those Mona Lisa replies: Mr.. Shener,
I buy from your store, don't ~"
AS WE POINTED out, Mr.. Shener is very nice
fellow He likes to help and likes to continue being
a very nice fellow. But one two -. three
four five 'ad books at one time just too many
. j.. to be exact five too many
Mr.. Shener is no stranger to you. He could be
a business man here in Tucson where the current
craze for ad books has taken organizations with
a maddening frenzy.
This kind of Embarrassing is more than drain
on the businessman. 1t is direct assault on the
revenues of Anglo-Jewish newspapers-thes same pa
pers which willingly and graciously support the or
CARNATIONS with publicity, editorials and photos

Unfortunately, to convert
the feeder to the new voltage,
it is also necessary to change
out all existing transformers.
Most of the new transformers
have already been physically
installed. However, to convert
these and disconnect the cid
ones will result in individual
outages ranging from Is
minutes to perhaps two hours.
The conversion will be done
in as small sections as possible
to reduce the number of peo-
pie affected at any one time.
Two phases have been con-
verted as far as Constitution

AS the silent admirer of

another telling performance in
a growing list of hit dramatic
roles which keep him at the

Stack makes the most out Of

to a shortage of power during
during peak loads, but it ap-
peared, and still appears, to be a
well calculated risk from the long
term standpoint.
Our estimate for peak load for
1857 was placed at 1900 XIV for
the month of December. We have
sufficient generating capacity to
handle this demand, providing we
do not lose the largest unit, the
1850 XIV engine. There is sufici-
ent firm power to carry only
approximately $500 XIV. Unfor-
tunately, during the past few
weeks the 1850 XIV engine has
had to be shut down due to a
leakage of water into the cylin-
ders. In order to minimize the
extent of the early outages we
replaced several gaskets in the
hope and expectation that the
trouble was Of a minor nature.
The continued leakage Of water
indicated, however, that we had
more serious trouble and the en-
CINE had to be completely pulled
down and checked. Examination
showed that considerable repair
work was necessary due to metal
erosion inside the exhaust mani
fold and, as a result, there were
additional shutdoWns while this
repair work was in progress. If
the 1850 XIV engine continues to
operate without further difficult
ties we do not anticipate any fur
ther serious or prolonged outage.
Before we will be safe, however,
we must install additional gen.
Grating capacity, either in the
form of diesel equipment or as a
part of the salt water distillation
installation. The Special Session
of the Legislature will consider
a bill providing for the purchase
of the potable water produced by
the sea water distillation plant. If
favorable action is taken VICORP
will then be in a position to move
ahead with its plans for a sea
water distillation plant in Saint
Thomas, when necessary authori-
cations are obtained.
Until such time, and in the
event that we have bad luck with
engine failure, we can only ask
the public to bear with us until
firm power has been established
at a level commensurate with the
power growth in st. Thomas.
In reply to a recent Editorial
in the Daily News, the President
also stated that Louis A. Donas-
tory, Office Manager for the st.
Thomas Power Division, has full
authority to speak and act in
connection with any phase of the
VICoRP Power operation on st.

Pearl Harbor. There is no doubt
about it--those planes are Jap
anese. It's war. You may be able
to hear the explosions yourself.

telephone to an open window and
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Tamm heard
the crash Of bombs and the ex-

The FBI Director ordered Mr..
Shivers and Mr.. Tamm to put

STOP KILLING

Why Let Tension Destroy You?

One Of the ways to stop killing
yourself Is to develop a placid
nature, I don't know how a plane

philosopher out Of me-even II
only the f1ve-and-ten-c e n S
variety.
I am on my way to give a lee
ture on How To Stop Killing
Yourself" A few minutes after
we took on looked out of my
window and saw a field dotted
with cows. l knew what they
we're doing. They were content
edly chewing on their cuds.
wish many patients I have seen
In my lifetime had cuds to chew
on and had the patience and
placidity Of cows.
Unfortunately, we human be-
ings live in q world Of tension.
The backdrop for our large stage
Is a black. rusty. iron curtain
that divides Russia from us and
the rest Of the world. From 1t
stem the personal anxieties that
are intensified by our private
fears,
I have no doubt that tension is
one Of the great killers. / have
seen 1t wfeak its havoc on my
patients. II you suffer from ulcer,
diabetes, hyperthyroidism, coro-
nary disease, apprehension or
other similar conditions I can
safely wager that tension is-or
was-somewhere a contributing
factor.
Psychosomatics Real
Psychosomatics is more than
q fancy, highfalutin' word: 1t is
q reality. Hippocrates knew of 1t
over 1000 years ago; we doctors
have only lately wakened to its
Importance.

Urinary friends what kind Of ILL
nesses cows are subject to. Al
though may be wrong, have
a bunch that they don't suffer
from the tension disorders I
have already mentioned,
Now, this Is one Of the points

listeners: one ot the surest ways
