Extraordinary!

DEAR ABBY: You printed
a letter from a father who
said. regarding his retarded
child, II am proud that God
singled me out to care for
one of his exceptional chill
dren."
The fact that this father
had found psychological ad-
justment for his tragedy is
commendable. but / think
feeling proud" is carrying
it to the extreme.
I object. Furthermore, !
am very much concerned
about the increasing abuse
and misuse of the word "ex-
ceptional" for the retarded
child. 1t causes much con-
fusion and unless checked
will change the true mean
ing of the word.
EXCEPTIONAL as defined
by Webster means "uncom-
mon. superior. extraordinary,
remarkable" 1t implies some
thing to be desired!
To try to confuse the re-
tarded child, who is below
normal in intelligence, with
the truly exceptional child is
not only ridiculous but dis
honest.
Will you, Dear Abby, please
help us preserve the true
meanings of words and dis
continue using the word EX-
CEPTlONAL when referring
to the retarded child?
ENLIGHTENED.
You ratified the wrong
cage! The feelings Of one
parent are more important
to me than the "true mean
ings" of all the words in
Webster's dictionary. Only
the good Lord land the par
ents themselves know the
chronic heartache endured
by parents of retarded chill
dren. And If these parents
derive the tiniest bit of COM
fort from using the word
exceptional" instead of re-
tarded-who am I to object?
And who are you?

DEAR ABBY: Our l4-year-
old boy loves sports of all
kinds. This year he made
the freshman basketball
team. His dad and l 60 to
all the games. His dad was a
very good athlete himself at
one time so he gave the boy
some helpful suggestions on
what he was doing wrong.
He didn't do it in a rough
or mean way to hurt him.
Our son asked us to please
not come to any more games.
He says we make him nervous
and he makes too many mis-
takes.
We are very put out and
want to know If we should
stay away or go anyway and
explain that we are going
because we are proud of him.
WORRIED MON.
The boy is probably not
playing as well as he could
because he Is self f-cOnscious.
Stay away. When he starts
turning in performances of
which HE is proud, he'll beg
you to come.

Doubling in brass this week is
Fred Burrel who does a sort of
Tweedle Dunn and Tweedle Dee
role as the two peas from the same
pod, heads of the national commit
tee of the two major political par
ties. He, as a typical political ma
bout, provides some Of the funniest
lines in the shcW-as for example
when asked what he stands for
he states We are for getting in
again. Fred has his political
clichcs so well in hand that he
might campaign for either party
this fall. OFFERS will be received)
Other members of the cast in
less important roles are Judith
Weimken, John Fisher, Steve Wag-
ner and Richard Dorian.
At the conclusion of the per-
Torrance on Tuesday night the
cast received the loudest ovation
we've ever heard at the Deep
Creek showplace, and justly so
for a performance well executed.
The first nighters loved it-so will
you. Get down and renew your
faith in the political party of your
choice. Perhaps at the end you'll
wonder which you are, a liberal
conservative or conservative
liberal-but which ever-you'll have
a lot of laughs in finding out.
This weeks production was di-
rected by Ray Cation, his first this
year. He is to be congratulated
for his staging and the pace he
has achieved for the performance.

Review of The Play

AS topical and Timely as some
Of Dave Brinkley's WY convention
comments is the farce "The Girls
In 5G9' which is being presented
this week at the Playhouse. Pro
Queer Yell is to be commended
for his foresightedness in arrang-
ing for this comedy to be presented
during the week of the Republican
convention We hope the former
ends by Thursday night in order
that the SRO sign may be hung out
Friday and Saturday. Ii is good fun
to have the two political parties
spoofed in the manner Of this
weeks show
In passing. it seems unfortunate
there aren't more comedies writ
ten having TO do with politics. In
retrospect it occurs to me there
was one around the turn Of the
century having to do with the
Great Game of Politics as prac-
ced in Indiana. Later there was
the hit musical "Of Thee l Sing"
! which lampooned the political
campaign, as we'll as the utter fu-
tility of vice presidential candi-
dates More recently we have had
Born Yesterday" which dealt
with influence peddlers and lastly
this weeks opus. This is about the
list of those Of a comedy nature,
There have been some melodramas
but not too many Of this type.
Among the best of these is Gore
Vidals The Best Man" now run
ming on Broadway.
The Girls In 509' introduces TO
us two delightful fruit cakes who
are related, in a fashion, to the
Brewster Sisters in Arsenic and
Old Lace. The lady stockholdcr
in THE Solid Gold Cadillac" as
well as Elmer Dowd's memorable
sister in Harvey" In short the
Josephine Hill or Marion Lorne
type
We have this week a show that
is basically a two-person effort,
aided and abetted well by two adj
ditional characters. There are the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hettie and
Mimsy-Old Jim and Adam Pusey.
The story is that Of an elderly
woman of pronounced Republican
beliefs who takes herself and her
niece TO a New York hotel on the
night That Man" defeated Her
bert Hoover for the Presidency.
They boone recluses and do not
come out again until 1858. The
changes which they find in politi-
cal philosophers provide much of
the belly laughs as written by
author Howard Teichmann.
Judy Knaiz is Aunt Hettie and
Peggy Lewis is Mimsy (short for
Mimosa). 1t is their show, par
ticularly Miss Knaiz who makes
the most out of the lines and bust
ness of the elderly aunt AS their
two principal associates we have
jim Friedman as old Jim, a JACK
Of all trades in the hotel where
the Vanderwycks live, and Marty
Mcclure who is excellent as Adam
Pussy. The very timid instructor
in journalism who arranges for the
belated debut of the two ladies
into modern political activity.

0steopaths,
Doctors SET Up
Joint Plan

LOS ANGELES. Nov. Is
(AP.-California doctors and
osteopaths have drawn up a
uniflcation plan which some
day could lead to a national
merger Of the two great meth
DDS of healing.
The California plan will be
submitted for approval of the
American Medical Association
at a meeting beginning in
Washington on Monday.
There is no question of sub
hitting it to the American
Osteopathic Association. That
group recently revoked the
charter of the California Oste-
opaths because they insisted
on negotiating with the Cali
fornia medical group.
In California there is little
difference between a medical
doctor and an osteopath. Each
must have four years in an
accredited school after gradu-
alton from college, plus two
years Of resident work in a
hospital.
Their State board examina-
tons are similar. And their liz
cense - to practice medicine
and perform surgery - are
identical.
Originally, osteopaths
stressed massage and spinal
adjustment over medicine and
surgery, and still do in some
States. In California, however,
this emphasis has declined, to
a point where oSteopaths and
medical doctors are mingled
on hospital stats.
A big stumbling block to uni
fication is the. question of re-
to practice medicine in other
ciprocity. A doctor licensed
States can obtain a California
license simply by presenting
his credentials. Medically, all
States have the same stand
ards.
This is not true for osteo-
pathic doctors. Osteopaths from
other States are judged on in
dividual merit-they must be
able to meet the California
Osteopathic Associations high
standards.
The standards of some
States are so low, says a
spokesman, that their appli-
cants are automatically re-
jected.

Wants Family
Miss Kilt, who is currently ap-
pearing in a show at Las Vegas,
said forthrightly that she wants
to raise a family. II want a boy
and a girl, she explained.
Asked about the racial problem
bound up with their impending
marriage, she said:
It's a problem you have to live
with. Some people aren't going to
like the idea of Negro marrying
a white. But the world live in is
show business and the racial prob
lem is not so great there"
One Of the most popular enter
tainers in the world, Eartha, who
sings in several languages, in
1858 gave a command perform
ance for Queen Elizabeth II of
Britain in Buckingham Palace.
She also met several of the world
leaders.
