FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

MANUSCRIPT: After COM
pleting his first quasi scien-
tlflc book of adventure en-
titled Five Weeks in a Bal
loon," French Author Jules
Verne offered it to one pub
Usher after another, without
finding a taker.
When he received the 18th
rejection. Verne's bitterness
overfloWed and he angrily
tossed the manuscript into
the fire. His wife, almost hys-
terical, snatched the manu-
script from the flames and
begged him to make one more
try.
The 18th publisher ac-
cepted it. The book was a fam
tastic seller and was trans
lated INTO every civilized Ian
guage. Overnight, Verne was
famous and on his way to
fortune.
COUNT: Several years ago,
when he was convalescing in
the hospital after an illness,
Democratic Senator Lyndon
B. Johnson was permitted
two callers a day, other than
family.
One morning, after he had
seen a Democratic colleague,
he was visited by a Repub-
lican friend. When the lat
ter had gone, Johnson asked
to have the next visitor
shown in.
You've had your quota
for today" said the doctor
firmly.
"Oh, come now, DOCTOR"
protested Johnson, you're
not counting Republicans, are
you?"

You can fall asleep at the
wheel Of your car and live.
But there is one condition:
You better have sense to pull
over and park.
There is no doubt that
speeding is a large factor in
auto catastrophes. So is al
coholiSm. So is emotion.
MANY a man or woman who
gets behind the wheel right
after a hot argument be-
comes a statistical figure in
the long line Of auto deaths
or disfigurementS.O
ONE DANGER that is not
sufficiently emphasized is
falling asleep at the wheel.
I have received from a ma
tional police organization a
request to publicize the need
for taking lone for the road"
coffee, that is! This is es-
pecially effective when one is
tired from driving for many
hours.
But one danger is not suf-
ficiently underlined: Taking
a tranquilizer, sedative or
antihistamine tablet before
you go on a drive.
I believe thousands Of in
nocents have been killed be-
cause the grim reaper came
in the guise Of a sandman.
All it takes is a few seconds!
I have a colleague who
suffers from hay fever and
asthma. One morning re-
Gently he set out on a con-
sultation about 35 miles dis
tant. About an hour before
he started he had popped
into his mouth an antihista-
mine tablet that he had
never used before. The pre-
vious brand had never made
him drowsy; he had no
hesitancy about taking this
pill before beginning his
drive.
Just before he got to his
destination he closed his eyes
In sleep for a few seconds.
All he got out Of it was a
broken leg. He can be thank
full for his usual conservative
speed and luck in being alive
to tell the story. He swears
that he will never take any
kind Of antihistamine an
hour or two before driving
Anyone who has become
sleepy behind the wheel
knows how overpowering is
the desire to close the lids
in sweet sleep. Trouble is
that what one thinks may
be a lone second" nap, may
turn into one for eternity.
Here, then, are some mustS
for self-preservation on the
road:
l. Don't fight sleep. Pull
over and stop the car.
2. Remember that antihis-
tamineS and tranquilizers
may not affect the next fell
low-but may put you to
sleep behind the wheel OF a
moving car. Therefore, be-
ware Of them as you would
a stiff drink of alcohol before
driving.
3. On a long trip. black
coffee right beside you in a
container will often help to
get you home in one piece.
4. Pass these suggestions on
to your friends.

CUBS BRASS WORRY
AROuI BANKS SLUMP

Chicago (ANP) - The Chicago
Cubs brass last week were singing
the blues and hoping out loud that
Ernie Banks, their big star, would
shake his slump and start hitting
so the club could get going. The
Cubs can't win until Ernie starts
hitting, they admitted.
Leading those who were mourn
ing the Cubs bad fortune was
Vice President John Holland, He
said:
I'VE can't do anything but wait
it out until the big guy (Banks)
starts hitting again It's the his
tory of the club that when Ernie
hits, everybody hits with him. He
hasn't been hitting and neither
has anybody else-and you can't
win without runs"
Holland indicated, also, that per-
iodic off-days during the clubs
current home stand are hurting
the team. AS for Ernie, his timing
is off, he stated. 1t is not as sharp
as during spring training, Holland
added.
Meanwhile, opposing pitchers
are doing their best to keep Ernie S
timing off by walking him at the
first opportunity. They know if
Mr.. B. swings often, he'll start
collecting home runs and running
their games.

How much do you earn7
Really? Want to change that7 It
ould very well be that your pay is
5 per cent greater than the amount
gu gave TO the question above.
Pay today is a package. You prob
bly, think of pay as your wage or
.alary given TO you on payday. This
'ype of thinking may prove a dis
advantage to you. You may make a
mistake when you figure the money
value of your job and compare it
with another job offer.
American industry spends an aver
age of $3.50 year per worker in
indirect pay-items which don't show
in your pay envelope.
When comparing job prices figure
these common indirect pay devices:
social security payments; unemploy-
ment insurance; bonuses; health in
surance and life insurance; paid holi-
days; vacations; medical. cafeteria,
parking, rcCreational and other facili-
ties; discounts on products or sery-
ices; pensions; profit sharing; stock
options; thrift plans.

Banks Our Of
Lineup; Dodgers Won
FLAG On Last Dow

Chicago CAMP - The extent
to which the other National League
clubs fear the Erne Banks of the
Chicago Cubs was emphasized by
catcher John Roseboro of the
world champions Los Angeles
Dodgers in an interview here last
week.
Asked to explain how the bod
gers won the MI pennant last
year, RoseborO, a key man in the
Dodgers defense, volunteered a
ready answer. He said Banks
helped them win the flag in a
roundabout way.
Ernie didn't mean to aid the
Dodgers, of course, and in fact
was the chief thorn in their sides
in the closing games of the 1853
season.
The aid came, indirectly, accord
ing to Roseboro, when Ernie was
hit with a pitch by Dodgers lefty
Johnny Podres, in the second to
the last of the two final games
between the Wrgleys and the
Dodgers.
At the time, Banks was leading
the assault as the Cubs hammered
the Dodgers into a 1872 defeat.
When the mishap occurred, Banks
was so bruised that the manager
decided not to play him the fol-
lowing day
That was the big break for the
Dodgers, Roseboro said. They won
the season finale from the Cubs
while Milwaukee was beating out
the Philadelphia Phillies to dead
lock the season. Subsequently the
two teams met in a best-of-three
games playoff and the Dodgers
won two straight to qualify for
the World Series. They eventually
went on to defeat the American
League champions Chicago White
Sox in the series.
But with Mr.. Banks in the line
up, it might have been a different
story, Roseboro averred. He said
every team in the MI respect
Ernie.
IT'S no secret around the
league" Roseboro explained, that
if you can stop Ernie you have a
good chance to beat the Cubs.
He is the only player the other
clubs really worry about.
That was what was on our
minds last season in the final, cru
cial series with the Cubs"
Manager Walt Aston felt the
apprehension, too, for he told his
players: Get Banks out, and half
your troubles are over"

AL Smith. White
Sox Jack-Of-AII
Trades, Proves Worth

Kansas City, Mo. CAMP - A
baseball Observation-Disclosures, out
fielder AL Smith proved himself
anew in that capacity last week
when he was placed into the lead
off position in the Chicago White
Sox lineup and Immediately re-
sponded with five hits to lead the
Pale Hose to an 8 TO 0 shutout
over the Kansas City Athletics.
Smith was put in the leadoff
spot because the regular leading
batter, Luis Aparicio was in bat
ting slump. Manager AL Lopez
hopes to put Looie back into the
leadoff spot when he shakes the
slump.
In his five hits as leadoff man
last week, Smitty collected a home
run, a single, another single, a
double and another single, for a
perfect day at the plate. 1t was
the only 5-for-5 performance he
has enjoyed in the majors, although
he has hit 4-for-4 several times.
Smith has played both the right
and leftfield positions since join
ing the Sox in 1857. At Cleveland,
where he played before coming to
the Sox, he played six different
positions third base, second,
shortstop and all three outfield
spots,
His best year in the majors was
1855, when he played in 154 games,
led the league in runs scored with
1913, hit % home runs, drove in IT
runs and batted .306.

Curt Fuller In Disc Spotlight

Curtis Fuller, the enterprising
trombonist of the modern jazz
school, leads a talented group of
singers and musicians in this

We are giving his latest album,
"Blues-Ette," waxed for the Savoy
label, No. billing because of the
fresh approach which Fuller and
his group, including Benny Golson,
tenor, and Tommy Flanagan, piano,
bring into play on the jazz tracks.
Instead of trying to weave eye
catching techniques around over
worked standards, Fuller's quintet
