Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband is SO and has had
only one bad habit that I
know Of. For the past 10
years he has insisted on
having a glass of sherry or
a cocktail before sitting
down to dinner. Don't you
think that's being too de-
pendent upon a bad habit?
What would he do if all
liquor disappeared from the
face of the earth?-Mrs. A.,
Buffalo.
ARE YOU LOOKING for
the perfect man? You'll
never find him. Besides, I
think you have one quite
close to perfection. but don't
appreciate him. And don't
worry about a future search
ty Of liquor. AS long as there
are potatoes. grapes, grain
or any other dozens Of fer
mentable substances around,
man will find a way Of max
ing himself a drink.
I don't agree that one
drink in the evening is a
bad habit. II he were a

tween 20 and 40, I would
say beware! Il needn't en-

There's a weekly paper

preparing to do battle,
three husky little boys came
tumbling out Of a nearby
cottage. I thought Of put
ting them to work, but
heroically brushed the
thought aside. They ranged
in age from 2 to 4.

one, and then they poured it
on. Gotta flat tire? Gonna

ter?"
I got out the peculiar lit
tie jack for the car. It had
a large nut on top Of it, and
although I turned and
turned this nut with an
other instrument, the arm
of the jack would not rise. I
tried turning both ways,
five minutes at a time, with
no luck-to the accompani-
ment Of running comments
and advice from the three
little boys.
The two-year-old kept
looking down at the base Of
the Jack. Finally he said:
Stand on it, mistah."
I WAS TEMPTED to
push him into a sandpile.
but then I looked down at
the base myself and realized
it was turning as I turned
the top part. The kid was
right. So I stood on the
base and again wound my
instrument. This time the
arm of the Jack rose slowly.
I managed to jack up the
car, and before you could
recite the Bible three times
I had changed the tire.
And I did it all by myself,
guided only by the brain of
q two-year-old.

office after picking up my
bills. First thing I heard vas
a loud kissing near the front
end Of the auto. Since snakes
on the highway are rare, I
deduced that I had a punc-
ture.
With quick presence Of
mind, I whipped up the
nearest driveway and made
for a shady spot in the rear.
AS / came to a stop, so did
the kissing. I got out and
inspected the little tire. It
was, indeed, quite flat,
THAT SETTLED, I looked
around in vain for the man
who lives there, but he wasn't
home. I thought of asking
his obliging wife to help me,
but realized that this would
be the act of a cad.
The reason I felt some
what desperate is simple.
Never in my life had I
changed a flat tire. For a
half century, as a city-bred
boy. adolescent and career
man, I had gotten by. When
ever I had a flat I merely
telephoned a garage or
routed out some neighbor or
tagged down some passer-
by to do the job.
Wife Is Away
But this time I was up
against it. My farm workers
were far out in the fields.
The cars on the highway
were streaking along too fast
to hail. Dorothy Corder, the
efficient and helpful post
mistress, couldn't leave her
post. Miriam, my wife, had
just left for town to do some
efficient shopping, so I
couldn't make her change
the tire.
There was nothing to do
but tackle the job myself,
for the first time in my
life.
This was truly a momen-
tous decision. It took great
courage, and I freely con-
graduate myself for it, since
no one else will. You see,
it wasn't laziness that had
kept me from such a task
Tor so many years. 1t was
lack of confidence.
Let's put it another way.
1t was sheer cowardice. I
was afraid couldn't do it.

of habits. I know one man
who prided himself on not
putting a book down until
he finished it. Often, he did
not turn out his bed light
until 8 am. Having to get
up at Z every morning. lack
of necessary sleep eventual
ly caught up with him. His
loss of weight, fatigue and
irritability disappeared only
after he gave up this bad
good habit.
THE ONLY WAY you can
be sure If you're letting bad
habits influence your life is
to be honest with yourself.
Most of us know what our
major bad habits are. The
difficult thing to do Is to
wipe them out. That often
takes a lot Of doing.
However, If you are over
so and like to take a drink
before dinner, I repeat: 1t
isn't a bad habit-it's a good
one.
