THANKS, Mr.. GLlCTENSTEIN

AS our chartered bus nearing Manhattan

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor.
We would like to have the space to give you in
full recent sermon of Editor Earl Tucker of the
FRANKLIN COUNTY TIMES of Russellve. Ala
who takes off in his Rambling Roses and Flying
Bricks" column the advice of insurance com
pany that every drink costs the moderate drnker
20 minutes of his life"
Il have never been able to define
moderate drinker." writes Mr.. Tucker. ''It
might be fellow who keeps jug of corn
hid in the barn and takes a sip in the early
morning hours and again at night when the
work of the day is ended.
another thing that puzzles me is how the
insurance company arrived at the above
figure. friend of mine down at Halls Lake
died several years ago at the age of SO.
He took 20 drinks day for 40 years,
whch made him lose 400 minutes day, or
146,OOO minutes per year for total of
5,840OO0 minutes. Arithmetic makes
Just a trifle dizzy, so you can figure out how
many hours he lost by dividing so into the
total number of minutes. 1t really doesn't
matter though in this particular case be-
cause he slipped on an icy path morning
and broke his neck.
Another fellow know died at the age Of
95 He never took a drink. contributed
to his church, or community and never had
any close friends. About the only thing he
did was to get old. When he passed
the preacher couldn't think of anything
good to say about him he read a couple
Of Psalms and the pabearers talked about
the weather and insurance on the way to
the cemetery"
Editor Tucker thinks the insurance compan,
might have pursued the matter a bit further an,
advised on the minutes lost by smoking, eating too
much or working too hard and whether one nigh
smoke and drink more if he worked less.
$50 reckon" concludes Mr.. Tucker. "the
moral of this column is that if you want to
live to be extremely old, you should not
drink, smoke, over-eat, worry lose too
much sleep. All of which might get you
bored and depressed that you will commit
SUICIDE :" !.

Pa. Merchant Sues
 Paris Fashion House For Duplicating Gowns

ALLENTOWN, Pa. LR - Those Dior gowns actresses Elizabeth Taylor and Gina Lollabrigida showed up with at the same time for a Moscow reception were not twins but triplets, contends a local merchant.
 Max Hess, president of Hess Bros. Dept. Store, filed suit Mon day in Common Pleas Court ask ing damages from Dior, a Paris fashion house.
 He claimed the cocktail dresses worn by the actresses were exact copies of one sold him as an ori- ginal. Hess said he will subpoena Gina and Liz to explain where they got their dresses. At the time of the Moscow appearance last Saturday they agreed both had purchased them from Dior.
 Jess. in his petition, says the dress he purchased was shown to thousands of women in fashion shows sponsored by his store. He said pictures and descriptions of the dresses Wc1n by the actresses convinced him his dress was identical.
