A Philadelphia who was
graduated from the Curtis In
stitute, after twice winning the
Marian Anderson Scholarship,
Louise Parker has as a recit-
alist the deep sincerity and the
vocal opulence which recalls
her famous predecessor on the
concert stage. What she seems
to lack at this point in her
career is intensity.
Intensity was there at times,
notably in the opening quota
ton from a Bach cantata, and
again in the first of two spirit
uals arranged by Hall johnson.
These, sung with eyes closed,
were deeply devotional and
deeply moving. The seven pop
ular Spanish songs in setting
by Manuel de Falla had their
moments, too. notably the fifth,
Mana, and the last, Polo.
Sincerity is not bad thing
to settle for, though, and this
was in evidence throughout her
recital. What a treat it was
to hear an excerpt from a
Handel opera sung as though
the singer believed it, and
wasn't using it just as warm
up piece. The Brahms songs,

DEAR ABBY: First I would
like to say that I am ALL
MAN. I have been going with
a woman who owns a small
beauty shop. She has been
after me for a long time to
let her give me a permanent
wave. My hair is very straight
and I have a good thick crop
and it never occurred to me
to have a curl or wave put in
it.
This woman claims it will
not hurt my hair and I would
look a lot better. Maybe I
would, but just the idea of
getting a permanent makes
me Squirm. Also, there is the
problem of my showing up at
work all of a sudden with a
headful of waves or curls.

either) Do real men do this,

should I do?

Stop
Killing
Yourself
BY PETER J. STEINCROHN

I keep reminding readers
that at least one-third of
patients who come to their
doctor with symptoms are
not organically sick-they are
nervous and emotionally up
set because of some trouble
in their environment. AS in
some actually serious illness,
the cure often rebuffs us
doctors.
IF WE COULD only
change the patients living
conditions! If we could only
see the married partner to
treat him or her.! If we
could only make a husband
love his wife-or vice versa
If we could do these things
we would indeed be more than
doctors-we would be little
gods. Along these lines, con-
slider the following letter re-
ceived this week:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Ever
since I married my husband
over two years ago he has
almost put me in the nut
house. I stay a nervous wreck
and my mind is in a fog.
Whatever I try to do to please
him is never right. If I do
something wrong. instead of
telling me about it in the
right way I get called every
thing but a woman, and
what a no-good so-and-so I
am.
Il know that I am a long
way from being a perfect
wife. The trouble is that
my husband thinks he can
do no wrong. If he makes
a mistake I am the one who
has to take the blame. He
is always complaining about
me not doing anything.
If I had any more to do
I COUNT carry the extra
ounce on my back. I'm a
housewife, a mother, I work
at night, and also help take
care of his business. I know
this letter sounds like I am
feeling sorry for myself, and
the truth is I am. I wish
you could help me, but I
think you can't because there
is one complication, I love
him.-Mrs. X"
y + 4 4
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
intensely allergic. These re-
actions consist Of sneezing,
itching, running nose and
headache. and sharp pains
behind my nose associated
with a burning sensation.
Tests show I am allergic to
cat fur. But we love the cat.
Neighbors have told me that
it is all right to keep him
because he is out most of the
time. So, where do I go
from here?-Mrs. B.
STAY RIGHT WHERE you
are, Mrs. B. I wish I could
say the same for your cat. AS
far as he is concerned you
should say "Scat!"
I hope cat lovers won't get
me wrong. I'm not a cat
hater. Don't Just kick him
out into the street. Load him
up with catnip and find a
nice home for him.

Will Rogers used to say
"All I know is what I read
in the papers"
The point he made then
is still good. If something
is new and of general in
terest, you first read about it,
ordinarily, in the newspaper.
Even if Will Rogers had
lived long enough to know
about the present develop
ment of radio and television,
chances are that he would
not have changed his line.
Just hearing the news or
seeing an ephemeral report
on it isn't enough. That way,
we can't look back and ex-
anime the material critically.
In a newspaper you can do
SO. No doubt that's one rea-
son that newspaper circula-
tions continue to grow.
Since newspaper reading
supplies most of us with the
facts about modern life, the
subject is vital to education.
1t seems to me that a major
purpose Of education is to
develop a citizenry capable
of reaching logical decisions
based on facts.
There is an art to con-
structive reading, and it can
be taught. Whether the sub
ject is poetry, literature, his
tory or the kind of current
history to be found in the
newspapers, the skilled reader
learns more than the un-
skilled.
Try these suggestions to
improve your skill:
. Skim the newspaper, read
ing only headlines and first
paragraphs. This will allow
you to cover the large guam
tity of material presented
every day.
. Go back and read COM
pletely the articles which are
of most interest to you.
Q Occasionally, examine the
whole paper carefully. Sc
lect the features of interest
to you. You may wish to
read them consistently.
o When you do read a fea-
ture article, you should think
about it long enough to fit it
into your knowledge.

As q History Text

means a new idea. It has
been used for many years.
The newspaper is an excel
lent textbook. Too often,
however. such programs have
been limited to local news
appropriate to a certain grade
level or to clippings of the
outstanding news items of
the day.
Too little attention has
been given to the study of
the newspaper as a whole
as a readily-available, cur
rent, organized source of in
formation. Too often chill
dren grow up thinking of the
newspaper as a headline and
a comic section. The news
paper is not so useful to
them as it should be, simply
because they have never
learned to use it.
More important, not
enough emphasis is being
placed on the Interpretation
of current news as a basis for
understanding the actions
our democratic government
must take in order to main
tain the position of leader
ship in the world.
Many teachers hesitate to
invite this kind of interpreta-
ton and speculation from
students.
Teachers need more of the
dealing with the use of news
papers in education. Courses
of this kind have been given
each summer by the Uni
versity of California at Los
Angeles, as well as many
other schools. Teachers need
to increase the skill of relat-
ing news items to the his
torical background which
make them understandable.
