FAMOUS FABLES

sports writer. Mays predicted

Charles Einstein in "a Flag

Why did he think a club
that finished fifth in 1860
was going to win the pen
nant in 1861?
Its hard to say he
cried, except = there's a

Il saw Mays in the club
house afterwards.

"I know it, Mays said
happily.

BY THOMAS COLLINS

A Protestant minister who
says his business is the moral
and spiritual but not the eco
nomic, has a retirement prob
lem. 1t concerns money.
He and his wife live IL a
home that is provided by his
church. He is scheduled to
retire nine years from June,
1868. At that time hi church
pension, plus his social secur-
ity, will total about 1915 a
month.
Nov, the question 1 want
to ask" he says, sis this:
Would 1t be wise for my
wife and me to invest in a
home now, and rent the home
to a reliable party? We would
use the rent to help pay up
keep and monthly payments
on the mortgage.
"Or would it be wiser
to save up our money and
buy or build a home when
we do retirJ in 1922
Il try to tell my wife that
even If we have to make two
or three payments a year on
the home out of our present
income we would be better off
this way than to wait until
1912 and maybe face a greatly
increased cost on a home. I
am aware that if we wait we
will have a new home for
ourselves, built as we would
want it and where we would
want it,
Il could arrange a down
payment on a home during
this year, and could apply
500 a month to the mort

1t is the opinion Of this
columnist that he should for
get the house. There are
three reasons:

built now could be old

A drama that was watched

The Empire States law

thumbs down on a proposal
to issue identity cards so
that teen-agers in neighbor-
ing States. where the mini

couraged from invading New
York for their tippling.
Opponents Of the I'D card
system said 1t not only would

more important. would put
the State in the business Of

1t all went TO show how
futile II is to attempt TO leg
islate morality. II also gave
fresh emphasis 10 one Of the
increasingly nagging prob
lens OF our day-teen-age
drinking.
What the New York law
makers we're saying In effect
was: Let parents get at the
reasons their youngsters
drink. and the need for State
controls will be less acute.
Statistics Alarming

drinking are not comforting.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I know
that strokes are serious
things, but isn't it true that
a person can have one and
still go on later living prac-
tically a normal life?-Mrs. H.
IF 1T WEREN'T true.
chances are that many mil
lions of us wouldn't have
seen the movie called Louis
Pasteur. For he would have
been dead after a stroke long
before he was able to make
his famed fermentation stud
les and his other contribu-
tions which led TO pasteuri-
zation and vaccine immuni-
zation. Pasteur lived to 73.
but the last few decades of
his life-in which he made
many important contribu-
tions to mankind followed a
stroke. So you see, Mrs. H.,
many stroke victims can
carry on for years.
OF course strokes come In
different sizes, you might say.
A severe stroke holds out no
hope whatever. The patient
may die within hours. This
is usually due to an extern
sive hemorrhage in the brain
due to rupture of an artery.
In some cases, the patient
is unconscious for less than
"a hours and RECEIVERS with
paralysis of an arm and leg
and possible loss Of speech.
Such patients may partially
recover their speecl and use
of extremities and live many
years.
In thousands Of others
there is a temporary loss of
speech and inability to move
an arm or leg.
I have known some pa
tients to have two or three
such cerebral accidents" and
apparently fully recover to
carry on their business and
social life as If nothing had
happened. In these patients,
a small blood vessel in the
brain has been blocked off
by what we call a cerebral
thrombus. or there has been
some unexplained spasm in
an artery. In either case,
blood circulation to the vital
cells in the brain has not
been shut off sufficiently
long to produce any lasting
damage.
In still other cases Of sus-
pected trouble in the brains
circulation, by special injec-
tions and X-rays of the large
arteries in the neck we can
see evidence of a slow clos
ing off of the circulation by
atheroscleroSis. It is in such
cases that modern surgery
often can prevent a major
stroke.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
been nervous for years.
Lately I have noticed a small
enlargement in my thyroid
gland. Since I have all the
symptoms and signs I sup
pose I mush have hyperthy-
roidism. Mrs. Y.
IF SELF-TREATMENT is
bad, so it is true that self
diagnosis is even worse. In
view of the common knowl-
edge of hyperthyroidism, bet
ter not get the idea that you
can diagnose it in yourself or
in others. To let you in on
a secret: sometimes it's a diff
ficult job for doctors, too.
For example, 1 recall a pa
tient who came in years ago
complaining of the cardinal
symptoms of an overactive
thyroid: she was irritable,
nervous, couldn't sleep, lost
weight, and had a slight en-
largement of the thyroid. The
temptation was to make a

MASON ON EDUCATION
Training Held Key
In Filling Job Gap

In every field there is a
growing demand for more
highly trained personnel. at
the same time, machines are
eliminating the strong-back
jobs.
Some educators despair.
They conclude that our very
progress will defeat us be-
cause there will not be
enough people of high los
to meet the needs Of our
growing technology.
Old 10. Argument
They argue that only
about one-third of our pon-
ulation have los above aV-
erage - from 90-ll0 Gay
part of these reach the ed
ucational levels soon to be
demanded by our society.
There are fallacies in the
arguments of these prophets
of doom.
FALLACY: There is no
such thing as transfer Of
training.
TRUTH: The mind can be
trained In the skills of study
and learning. This training
carries over into all phases
of school and work. More
trained minds is the crying
need of our present society.
FALLACY: The number Of
individuals with highly
trainable minds is indicated
by the results of their 10.
tests.
TRUTH: Tests measure to
some extent the present day
learning potential Of indi-
viduals. However, these same
individuals. trained In the
skills Of learning and the
skills Of test taking. take on
new potentialsl
In one city where a search
for highly superior individ-
uals has been conducted for
years, twice as many persons
have been discovered in the
extremely high 10. range as
the test makers predictedl
Programs conducted over q
period Of years in each COM
munity in which students
with high potential are
sought out and trained in the
skills Of learning would in
crease our supply OF highly
trained people.
Scores that students make
on intelligence tests depend
upon their attitude toward
the tests, the background Of
their homes and previous
schooling as well as their in
nate ability.
Training Is The Key
Once they have learned
how 10 study and how tn
take tests-when they recog-
nize their own ability 10 at
tain a higher status In life
- their motivation for
achieving on the test will be
higher. These students then
will set higher goals for
themselves.
The potential OF our youth
is far greater than II would
appear from present test re-
suits.
We can come closer to
reaching this potential
through proper recognition.
Training not only will meet
the needs Of our society for
the foreseeable future, but
will help many individuals
achieve happier lives.

pearanceS were needed to give
these hard-preSSed people q
moral and mental lift and en-
courage them to continue the
fight. They assumed what they
considered their obligation to
provide such inspiration and
help. Too bad Jesse didn't see
fit to do the Same.
But since he either lacked the
courage or conviction, Owens
elected to take pot shots at Rob-
inson and Patterson. It seems to
this writer that he should have at
least kept his trap shut and given
the venture a chance to succeed
as it did.
But once attacked, Jackie and
Floyd didn't have to go running to
the ranks Of the sports greats
begging for help. Ralph Metcalfe,
another ex-Olympian and Owens
former track opponent, was among
those who rallied to their defense.
Metcalfe wholehearted supported
their participation with this state
ment: Amy persons who has
achieved success in any of the var
ious fields of endeavor is entitled
to stimulate the people Of Birm-
ingham to fight for their rights
they should have had years ago"
Another CALLING thing about
Owens criticism was that he in
cluded the biting barb that he
had not permitted himself to
be asked" to go to Birmingham.
In other words, he made certain
he wasn't invited. Yet he per-
mitted himself to be readily
questioned on the subject so he
could attack Robinson and Pat
tersOn. How chiVaIrOus!
AS stated earlier, this is not the
first time Owens has stuck his
foot in his mouth. Last year he
was taken to task by AMPS West
Coast correspondent L. I. Brocken-
bury, and this writer, for also crit
icizing Negro athletes for pulling
out of a Meet Of Champions"
track meet in Houston, Texas, be-
cause of segregated seating ar
Owens said then that the Negro
athletes should have stayed in the
meet because their performances
could best serve the cause Of DEM
ocracy. His thoughts seemed to be
that bigots could be readily con-
verted by democratic actions. I
ask again, how naive can one get ?
Brock said then that Jesse was
living in the past" Apparently,
he still is.
