Cafeterias
Operate
at Profit

The cafeterias of the Smyrna
Special School District were
able to maintain and increase
their operating balance during
the 1861 90 school year. AS
a result, school officials are
considering the possibility of
reducing the cost of school
lunches from 30f to 25f for
all elementary pupils within
the District. The cost of lun-
ches for secondary school pu-
pills would remain at 30t be-
cause of the larger portions
served these pupils.
The opening balance in Sep
tember for school lunch was
$7,769.88, and the following
funds (income) was received
during the year: milk reim-
bursement from the Federal
Government, SIS, 5,S6e.2o; lunch
reimbursement from the Fed
eral Government, ST., ,0o3.l2;
cafeteria receipts from stu
dents, $35,S35.73; cafeteria re-
ceipts from teachers, So, ,37l.
"a; receipts from the State and
from local suppers served, etc.
SIl, ,837.75--or a total income of
$685. ,777.32.
Expenditures during the year
were: $3l, ,089.2l for food, $22,
508.38 for labor costs, and
S3,838,8o for other costs in
cluding the purchase of items
of equipment and contracted
maintenance charges.
The cash balance at the close
of the year therefore, was
$8.34o.S4.

MAKING MARRIAGE MORE REWARDING-71 -. -
Do You Really Know Your Mate?

married love. 1t can bring a
Frightening comprehension of
what love really is.
What love is? Everybody
knows that, you may say. But
think a moment. :.
We use the word love" so
haphazardly. We may say, II
love ice cream" or Il love con-
vertible cars" or II love basket
ball." What we really mean is
that those things give us graft
fication. They do something
for US. More logically, we might
say that they love us, rather
than we love them.
Love. in the true sense, is
not getting something but CIV
ing something. 1t is an out
going process. The joy of living
is the JOY of giving, not receiv-
ing. In his "Maximes," the Due
de La Rochefoucauld wrote:
THE pleasure of love is in low
ing, and one is happier in the
passion one feels than in the
passion one arouses in the
other"
An ltolion Ideo
During the so seconds you
might let little Italian express
sion meander through your
mind: TT poglio bene. 1t is one
Of the ways of saying, II love
you" But what it literally
mean is, II desire your we'll
being" 1t is a happy choice of
words, for it shows the direction
in which love moves.
All of US who love our mates
feel that way, I'm sure. But in
the humdrum of living, and all
the details, and all the must
do" chores, and all the re-
sponsibilities, it's so easy to
lose sight of that very basic
feeling-"I desire your we'll
being"
The so seconds a day when
we clear the decks of our minds
may bring that feeling back
with clarity. Some people wear
love like a badge. They adver-
tise to the world that they love
all people everywhere. And
perhaps they do. Yet a little
test of self-knowledge is appli-
cable here. Love begins at
home; it begins with the human
being nearest to you. Do you
love him or her? Have you the
fullness Of compassion, under
standing, and acceptance to-
ward that individual across the
breakfast table? If not, better
hold up on that love for the
Hottentots until you love at
home.
A man I know, who is sep
arated from his wife, has little
use for his children, and is in
a lawsuit against his next-door
neighbor, was in a discussion
about world affairs one recent
evening, and said with a flour
ish, Nov let's get this straight
I love people,"

begin to love people until you
love the one, or ones, closest to
you. Love of people is a de-

Can Add New Riches

Moreover, appreciation of a
wife should imply that she is
something more than a home
foreman.
She may love flowers and
yearn for her husband to show
some enthusiasm over her new
border of saliva.
Perhaps she had a lively in
tereSt in foreign affairs in her
school days and still would like
to venture an opinion on In
daft only she weren't afraid
Of being brushed aside as
though she were an adolescent.
Perhaps she would like TO
know more about her husbands
business, help him make de-
ciSions, understand his prob
lens.
Perhaps she would just like
to walk out with him at night
and count the stars or talk
about mist on the moon.
To love fully is to love a
persons essence, the inner
uniqueness that makes every
individual someone special in
this world. It strengthens mar
riage a great deal to find that
essence in your welded mate.
You may be able to do so (if
you haven't already by devot-
ing just so seconds to the
search.
In any case, no matter with
what wealth Of love you are
already blessed, this minute a
day can add new riches.

Alfred E. Smith, but, when
the bartender turned. the
photo disappeared and it said
vote Democratic"
This disturbed Barrymore.
A mist was on his noble
brow. He turned to look
away. An old actor stood
under the fan, slipping a pro-
hibition beer. Barrymore was
finding it difficult to breathe.
He watched the old actor and
he was Mortified to find that
the glue on the front of the
mans toupe had become I'M
stuck.
The overhead fan lifted the
front of the wig a little, held
it aloft for a second, and
dropped it. Then it lifted
again, held. and fell. Barry
more lifted the glass with
both hands, and tried to
reach his trembling lip, and
failed. The glass went back
on the bar.
His fingers drummed the
mahogany. Dan Healy told a
joke and the roar of laugh
ter assaulted the Barrymore
ears in waves of surf. He
turned his face in the OPP
posite direction and saw a
man hosting firkins of
shaved ice across the bar.
The man turned to look
at the star. Barrymore was
stunned to see that only one
eye turned. The other con-
tinued to stare across the
room. He held his hand out,
and watched it tremble.
This" he said unanimously,
is no day for glass eyes. This
is hardly a day for real ones"
The man with the ice
smiled. Barrymore looked at
the rebel eye and said: II
need more than so per cent
of anybody's attention" and
walked out. He picked up his
homburg in the cloak room,
mopped his forehead, and set
the hat on rakishly.
CHECK ME OUT" he
said to the attendant. I'm
always being checked out or
in, off or on, up or down,
stop or go. Mostly stop"
He was palsied with fright
when he hit the hot sidewalk
in front of the Lambs. The
rehearsal at the Hippodrome
had ended, and 40 midgets
marched past Barrymore in
police uniforms.
He hailed a taxi. Where
to?" the driver said. Barry
more sank in the back seat.
Back to Bellevue" he
whispered.

Take just one minute a day
at breakfast, at dinner, or in
the evening when you are re-
taxing together. Look at your
mate with detachment, as
though you were observing him
or her from another planet.
See that person as a person.
Who is he? Who is she?
Another struggling human
being striving to make harmony
with life? OF course. And with
all the inner preSSures, the con-
flicts and completes, the frus-
trations, the doubts and fears
that all flesh shares.
See if that so seconds a day
doesn't give you a new view of
your partner, a lot more love
and a lot more charity.
Love is so often thought of in
terms of glamour and excite
ment. But probably its true
essence is compassion. What Is
the individual but a somewhat
lonely soul, perhaps a bit more
frightened than he is willing to
admit, looking for a little
warmth? Perhaps you are will
ing to look upon other people,
more remote people, with such
compassion. But can you bring
it, too, to the woman-or man
across the breakfast table?
Poet Carl Sandburg once said
that among the things he
wanted most in life were, love
at home, and a little on the
outside" Sandburg put his
finger on the central need not
only of a great one like himself
but Of all the big and little
people of the world.
Three Words for Love
OF most anything, it has been
said that the Greeks had a
word for it. Well, the Greeks
had three words for love.
Eros meant the love between
male and female, romantic love.
Philos meant the mutual
affection Of friends, or the love
of distractions such as wisdom
and beauty.
Agape meant divine love, the
love force in all creation, the
outgoing charity of love. Agape
was. and is, the highest form
Of love.

STOP KILLING YOURSELF :
EEGf for Bruinwuve,
EGG Traces Heart
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEIkcRoHN

tracing or heart tracing is
no guarantee that there is
no trouble. For example, it is
possible to have angina pee
toris without changes in the
resting EGG: it may even be
negative the first few days
in a patient who has had
an infarction from a coro-
nary thrombosis.
And likewise in brain dag
noSis, it is possible for organ
ic trouble to be present be-
cause it lies too deep in the
brain for the EEG to help
spot it.
But because we are aware
OF these things, these tests
become even more invaluable
when we realize how often
they tell us about disease we
might have overlooked. The
EGG will help us make a
diagnosis of coronary throm-
bosis when symptoms in the
patient are vague. 1t helps
us differentiate various kinds
OF heart irregularities.
The EEG, of course, is of
the greatest help in confirm
ing the diagnosis of epilepsy
and of brain tumor - and
Of other brain disorders.
There's a comparatively re-
cent test which we call the
"transaminase" used mainly
In evaluating heart and liver
disease. We have an even
shorter abbreviation for it
than transaminase. We call
it the SCOT test. You will
know why we abbreviate this
one. Ask your doctor to spell
it out for you. It's so long
and complicated the odds are
that he will have to look it
up in a medical book before
he can pronounce it.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: viii
you explain the difference
between an EEG and EGG?
Or are they the same ma
chine for different purposes?
With all these abbreviated
names life is certainly con-
fusing when you doctors be-
gin abbreviating, too. =
Mrs. c.
/ THINK we started abbre-
waiting long before the Gov
eminent began pinning on
such labels as NRA and FBI.
Many, many years ago doc
tors were calling complete
blood counts CBC: non-pro-
TEN nitrogen NPN, haemo-
globin lib, white blood cor
puscles WBC, red blood corr
puscles RBC, etc.
Is it any wonder, then,
that we call an electroence-
phalogram an EGG? And an
electrocardiogram an EGG?
1t is understandable that
there is quite often a mixup
in Technology for the lay
man. Remember that electro
encephalograph is the ma
chine which produces the
gram (tracing); and that the
electrocardiograph produces
the electrocardiogrGnl (heart
tracing).
Therefore, when you see
EEG it usually refers to the
brainwave tracing; and the
EGG means the heart trac-
ing they don't refer to the
machines which produce the
little jiggles on the charts.
In either caSe-the brain
and the heart - little cleo
trical currents are continual
ly being given off. BY way
of electrodes attached either
to the chest or to the scalp
depending on whether an
EGG or an EEG is being
taken) these currents are
transmitted to long strips of
paper and doctors with spe-
cial training are able to in
terpret the "jiggles."

1t was hot. At noon, there
was no shady side to Forth
fourth street. A policeman's
horse stood with hanging
head outside the Lambs. Up
on Sixth avenue, Joseph Ur-
ban rehearsed his newest ex-
travaganza at the Hippo
drome. The Texas Guinan
Club was closed for the
month of August. Eva Tan
guay's name was up in lights
at the Palace. II don't care"
she sang. Il don't care. :"
A cab pulled to a stop in
front of the Lambs. A man
hoped out, tossing a bill to
the driver. He paused in front
of the horse to raise his
homburg politely. Don't
whinny," he said softly. II
couldn't stand it today"
The man went into the
actors club. At the reception
desk, the attendant grinned
and said hello. On the rack
of members beside him, he
raised the name of John
Barrymore to the I'm" posi-
ton. No one could ever mis-
take that classic profile, that
pale handsome face with the
wounded eyes.
THE ACTOR removed his
hat and tossed it into the
cloakroom. He went on
through the archway, into the
hardwood dining room, and
on through another arch to
the billiard room. He nodded to
Joe Penner and Victor Moore
and Jack Pearl, who we're
arguing with George Shelton.
Two overhead fans flicked
big blades at the dead air.
Mr.. Barrymore stepped up to
the bar. He turned stern eyes
on the white-jacketed bar
tender. This is no time for
levity, Joe," he said. Just

sparkling gins at your COM

smile.

ever, he remembered that he

He decided to wait until
they were returned. When
they were brought back, he
again made preparations to
leave. But in the interval, he
had sent other clothes to the
laundry.
This went on for several
months. Then Thurber came
up with a solution. He aban-
doned his laundry and
checked out.
