Hobbies Needed in Later Years

From the time the child
can understand. he learns
the Importance Of money. 1t
buys him q lollipop. his ice
cream cone and his bike. He
learns to do odd jobs so he
can make a few extra dol
lars for spending money.
HIS PARENTS teach him
the need for frugality so he
can have money later on in
life. Insurance companies
rightly preach protection plus
saving. All of US are condi-
toned to money. money,
money. ! would be the last
to say it is unimportant. But
what I do say las If 1t hasn't
been said before) is that
money isn't everything.
But it is not enough to be

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

Genius: Snowman Floreflz
Ziegfeld was a demanding
taskmaster who made life
difficult for those who
worked for him.
Shortly after he had
signed Composer George
Gershwin to write his first
musical for him, Ziegfeld
went to Carnegie Hall to
hear Gershwin's IAN Amer
lean in Paris" The audience
went wild. When the concert
was overa friend said to the
Snowman:
you've hired yourself q
genius. Well, a near-genius,
anyhow. He won't be an au-
thentic one until he has
suffered"
IN that case" said Zieg-
field. he'll be one when I get
through with him."
Haunted: When Finnish
Conductor Boris Sirpo and
his wife came to the United
States some years back. they
moved into a house that was
rumored to be haunted.
One night, after they had
retired. they were awakened
by a clanking sound in the
attic. Mrs. Sjrpo, in a shaky
voice. asked her husband to
investigate. He shook his
head.

But they are the exceptions.
If you want your youngsters
to grow up to be healthy and
happy people, get them in

is time we started thinking
about ourselves. ! have al
ways loved clothes and lots
Of social life and I would
like to spend money on nv
self, iix up my home, do
some entertaining and 20
places. Michael thinks these
things are not important.
MICHAEL with some
people it's a case Of easy
come. easy 60. AS for me, I
sweat blood for my money
and I can't see throwing it

people ] care nothing about.
! want my wife to dress well
but when I see some Of the
things she wants to buy I'm
glad we haven't had the
money until now. Some Of
those styles-whew!
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Michael appears frightened
by the radically different way
Of life his wife is suggesting.
Diane has unfortunately wor-
ried about this problem too
long without doing anything
so that ale Of Michael's
fears have had time to -four
ish and he hasn't ever had
the opportunity to know any
Of the pleasures Of social
life.
Diane appears to consider
herself a social butterfly and
feels she has sacrificed too
much. She blames her hus-
band and he feels guilty
about it. Yet we suspect that
Diane has a lot of social
fears of her own and her
hesitation about arranging
agreeable social activities has
induced her husband to be
even more rigid in his pat
terms. In retaliation she has
perhaps gotten a bit shrewish
on the subject:
People who really enjoy
contact with others usually
manage to entertain and keep
UP social appearances enough
to have a circle Of friends
who like them for them
selves-not the impressive

ness Of their homes, clothing
or amount of booze" served.
So we'd suggest that. Diane
change herself in this mat
ter before trying to change
her husband. She should
make an effort to cultivate
the friendship of a small
number of congenial couples,
learn to entertain informally
and let nature take its
course.
