One OF the pleasant It'd
bits Of life is the old Farmers
Almanac, 1t has been pub
lished for 144 years and, as
always, is a font of trivia
a calendar. corny poems, bits
of philosophy, gardening
dates, weather predictions,
and amusing nonsense.
A little poem by Richard
Armour says:
"Shake and shake the ketchup
bottle
First none comes md then
a lottle."
Then there are bits of
something the editors call
wisdom: Overweight is often
just desserts" "If you look
like your passport photo, you
need the trip" IF you're
tired of reading about the
evils Of smoking-give up
reading" "They never knew
what real happiness was un-
til they were married, and
then it was too late"
THERE is, ALWAYS, a
little part of the Farmers
Almanac that is devoted to
astrology. This, in my pin
headed opinion. is hokum.
I cannot imagine a far-of
star influencing my life when
God is in the room with me.

DEAR ABBY: The TV set
is our problem. Now don't
get me wrong. We have a TV,
too, and we enjoy it, but
when somebody walks in. we
turn it of. When we drop in
on our friends, they have
their TV going full blast and
no one makes a move to
turn it off. So you try to talk
over it and that isn't easy.
Your friends have one eye
on the TV and one ear on
what you are saying. This
sometimes goes on for two
or three programs. How can
we handle. this problem with
out hurting anybody'S feel
ingS?
STILL FRIENDS
Call in advance and make
a definite date to visit your
friends-then you won't run
the risk of conflicting with
their favOrite .TV programs.
People who "drOp in" have
no right to expect undivided
attention.

People get nervous for

stresses, until something
comes along to bruise their
ego.
CONSIDER the impact on
some persons when they have
a tooth pulled. They are not
so much concerned about
the pain and inconvenience
of extraction as they are
with what the loss of tooth
connotes: A permanent loss
of a structure of their own
body.
There are at least % mil
lion Americans who wear re-
movable bridges. Millions are
edentulous without teeth.
Most will agree that there
was at least a slight pSychol-
ogical reaction when the
last tooth came out" Never
theless, they adjusted quickly.
But many thousands actu-
ally came down with nerv-

HAY FEVER:
I recall one salesman who
was at the point of giving
up his job. New England was
his territory and he covered
it by automobile. He used to
ride around in a convertible.
From about June to Octo-
ber every year his hay fever
made life miserable. He did
not realize that riding
through the countryside ex-
posed him to extra millions
of spores that aggravated
his condition.
1 suggested that he buy a
closed, air-conditioned car.
Since then, he says he has
had a new lease on life"
Salesman or not, il YOU are
