The one thing science has

for the most part, unrelated to

She Smushes Things
But It's All for Art

LADY LAKE, Fla. (AP).-
Smashing glass objects is part
of Mrs. Virginia Sigler's
hobby. She crushes glass
bottles, jars, discarded auto
mobile tail lights-and even
the red portion Of a railroad
lantern-to obtain glass for
her mOsaicS.
Mrs. Sigler, who refuses to
use patterns and creates her
own designs, breaks the glass
by wrapping objects in burlap
and grinding them with a
hammer. Then she carefully
stores pieces in small jars,
for she strives to obtain as
many shades Of a color as
possible for her art work.

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: My husband
m anages a a Little League
baseball team. The boys think
he's tops but, oh, the parents!
My husband tries to play all
the boys, but recently, during
the all-Star game, we were
behind and my husband was
afraid we'd lose the game, so
he played the boys he thought
could win for us. Well, two
boys didn't get to play. After
the game the mother Of one of
the two boys came over and
called my husband every low
name In the book. My hus-
band just said "I'm sorry,
ma'am." Then the father of
the other boy stepped up and
cursed my husband, and said
baseball was only a game and
it was more important to play
all the boys than to win the
game. My husband just said

took it hard. He loves
working with those kids,
Abby, but he can't take the
abuse from the parents.

quit? WIFE.

seats behind the dugOut in

Within six months he was

Doesn't Add Up
Some people have a penchant
for adding up. AS it happens,
life doesn't add up much Of the
time. One cannot stand at the
summit of 20 years, or 40, or 60
and bemoan the fact that life
hasn't added up exactly as he
planned it. If one did so he
would be so occupied bemoan-
ing the past that the present
would slip through his fingers.
Far better to live each moment.
AS novelist Edith W harton
once remarked, Though the
years may be sad, the days
have a way Of being jubilant. "
What's past is prologue, "
says an inscription in stone out
side the National Archives in
Washington. The present is the
real, living drama.

er Foundation in Topeka, Kan,

Health Division. Businessmen
were counSeled on the manage
ment of their lives toward max
imum satisfaction and produc-
tivity.
Many Of them, 1t was found,
were far more adept at manag-
ing their businesses than at
managing themselves. They,
too, had to be taught to live
each moment.
Zone can use each day only
once" This became a maxim at

Doubted His Talent
A novelist had suddenly gone
into what writers call a crise.
He was at the ragged edge of
nervous tension, he couldn t
seem to get any new ideas, he
doubted his talent, his conf
dence was shattered.
ALI this, despite the fact that
he had turned out no less than
80 successful novels in years Of
prolific writing.
Obviously, he had to take a
little time off from writing. He

backyard and put in some Afri-

Intro: One of The reasons why
we have so many different de-
nominations todcy is due to the
varied Interpretation of the term,
Christian. In the Bible days the
disciples were called Christians
because they carried out in every
day life what Christ taught. They
believed and practiced the teach
ings CT Christ.
First, to be a Christian we must
believe in Christ In first John,
the fifth chapter and the first
verse, we read, whatsoever be-
licveth that Jesus is the Christ is
born of God" How can man be
undecided about this Christian be-
lief and be clear in any other con-
duct of life? What you think of
Christ is a determining factor. |
