On New Years Eve
At Ell Bodegon
By JOHN M. RosSoN

year goes to the Ell Bodegon,
one of the areas few authentic
Spanish restaurants, at 1884 r
street NV. next door to La
Fonda, the highly regarded
Mexican restaurant.
1t was our second visit to
the Ell Bodegon. Our first was
the subject of a column last
spring. After Monday nights
experience, we think number
of the points made then are
deserving Of renewed emphasis.
The owners, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Callahan. (She is the
former Adelina Pena, about as
Spanish as you can get), have
a gem in their r street estab-
lishment. Our arrez con polio
yellow rice and chicken gar
nished with green peas and
Spanish pimientos) was excel
lent, as was the wine. And
Mike Sullivan, a classical gui-
tarist, and Emelia, beautiful
Spanish dancer, left nothing to
be desired in the entertainment
field.
To top it off, the Spanish
decor was highlighted by New
Year decorations which are al
most universal and, Of course,
they heightened the mood.
1t wouldn't have been New
Years Eve, however, without

DINING OUT

We" finally found the perfect
way to begin our New Years
Eve reveling:
Start the evening off by din
ing out.
Admittedly, next New Years
Eve is a long way off but the
point is worth recording for
next year.
1t worked perfectly on Mon
day. We started on our rounds
early - about 8 pm. - by
going to a favorite restaurant.
About 10 pm, after excellent
wine, a fine meal and some
firSt-rate entertainment, we
we're ready for a night which
could not possibly be too big.
The point is, the dining out
led up to the big midnight blast
gradually, different - indeed
from dining at home and at II
pm, heading for the nearest
pub and hoping to get in the
mood by the time the horns
blow.

SQUIRRELS TAIL
CALLED A CLUE
TO BAD WINTER

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP. -
In this area, lore predicts an
"old-fashioned winter" on the
basis of what it describes as
the best and most reliable
sign" - the way squirrels
have been carrying their
tails.
The superstition is that II
a squirrels tail floats out
rearward, 1t means an easy
winter: II it stands straight
up and down, 1t means an
average season; If the tail
is carried far over the back
pointing In the direction the
squirrel is travelling, it means
an "old-fashioned," or bitter,
winter.
In olden days when squir-
rels tails we're noted to be al
most touching their heads,
householders were advised to
lay in a barrel Of flour. a
100-pound bag Of sugar and
a gallon jug Of molasses, to
heap the woodshed with dry
wood and to buy a new set
or two Of heavy long ones"

pioneer Ransom Olds began
his experiments with a horse

when he was working in his
fathers machine shop in
Lansing, Mich. He was re-
garded as an eccentric by the

To keep their comment at a

machine at night. Finally.
after two years, he was ready
to test 1t. He decided to make
the first trial run at 3 am.
He wheeled the carriage
into the. deserted street and
climbed into the drivers seat.
He waited until the engine
had built up steam and then
threw the machine into gear.
The roar and the rafting
that followed sounded like
the end Of the world had
come to Lansing. The carriage
strained and shook, then
leaped forward.
1t was q complete triumph
for Olds. for everyone in town

Pain After Eutino

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I

discomfort after meals. 1
am 65 and have lost about
20 pounds during the past
six months because I am
afraid to eat as I know
I will have these pains about
an hour afterwards. My doc

X-rays but these reveal no
gall bladder trouble, ulcer or
abnormal growth of any kind.
They are stumped. Can you
make any suggestions?
Mr.. Y.
I'D PROBABLY be
stumped, too. II I made all

couldn't find the cause. How
ever, I recently came across

Mr.. Edmondson is merely a
little earthly now and then, but
Miss Scott is a devotee Of the
single entendre jest, interspers-
ing her songs with Jokes that
are as blue ss they are hoary.
When she sticks to singing,
though, Miss Scott brings off
some diverting Special numbers
with verve and fl&ir.
She ranges from Irving Ber-
lin cLaugh 1t Up") to trans
planted ragtime. In the latter
she cuts quite a comic figure
under black wig and native
garb as a Mexican girl singing
why Don't You Come Home,
Speedy Gonzales?" She employs
"Hooray For Hollywood" as a
launching pad for comic i'm
presentations of Eartha Kilt.

(She follows these three with
an impersonation OF Jayne
Mansfield that really isn't that
at all, despite Miss Scott's
marked resemblance-facially--
to Miss Mansfield. She says it's
Jayne Mansfield, but it comes
out pure Marilyn Monroe,
arousing the suspicion that
Miss Scott changed the name
not the act on Miss Monroe's
sudden tragic death0
Mr.. Edmondson's patter is
generously laced with corn, but
it's also broad and vastly
funny. He's a great deflater Of
man and legend, as when he
ponders the coincidence that
brought all those famous men
to San Antonio that time and
observes, IF that Alamo had a
back door to 1t. there wouldn't
be no Texas.
He also is timely: Hear what
happened in Cuba tonight?

good man to have around,

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Retiring This Yeor?
Here's Check List

how and when to apply to
Social Security for benefits.
DO these things now.
Q Check your private life
insurance policies. See If you
can convert them into an
annuity for you. for your
wife. or into anything else
that will better meet your
financial needs.
0 In the months you still
have on the job, pay up all
the debts you owe. then buy
for cash-if you don't al
ready have them-a refrig-
orator. stove, clothes washer,
vacuum cleaner, TV set and
automobile that will last you
at least five years into re-
tirement. If this strips your
income down to what 1t will
be after retirement, then the
conditioning will be good for
you.
. Switch all investment
money you have into high
grade, conservative stocks or
bonds recommended to you
by an investment broker or
your banker. II you are timid
about this, rely on a savings
account in an insured bank
or savings and loan associa-
ton. Above all, don't gamble
now. ...
Q Give serious study to the
security of your wife in case
you die. Will part of the pen
sion continue on to her?
What SOCIAL Security will she
get? What insurance pay
ments will she get, and how
Will she get them? Most
men have not taught their
wives about money and thus
must themselves set up the
best future for their widows.
. If you haven't decided
yet to move away when you
retire, then you shouldn't
for a while. A year or so of
visits to the new town is
advisable before you choose
1t. Rent out your old home.
If feasible, and do not sell
it at once If you move. This
gives you time to change
your mind.
. Start thinking and talk
ing about tomorrow. The yes
terdays won't get you any,
where, and they bore others.
The Golden Years appears Thurs

By LESLIE ]. MASON
Professor Of Education,

University Of Southern California
The experts who administer
tests in schools often get the
cart before the horse.
Instead Of seeking personal
and social Embellishments as
explanations for poor grades.
they should often look for
lack OF skill in learning as
the key to personality trou-
bles.
The most important use Of
tests in schools should be TO
diagnose learning difficult
ties; TO identify academic
ability; to assist the pupil in
developing his educational
plan.
1t is difficult to justify the
use Of personality tests in
connection with any of these
needs.
Personality tests probe into
the child's home life, which
the school is in no position
to change. There can be no
gain in calling the child's at
tention to possible dissatis-
factions with his home, his
parents or his playmates and
then doing nothing about II.
Some Justification
The use Of personality tests
by a trained psychologist in
exceptional situations, when
done with the knowledge,
consent and cooperation Of
the parents, may be justified.
But before a personality
test is approved for use In a
school 1t should be read by
school board m e m bers or
other responsible citizens 10
eliminate tests with objec-
tionable questions.
The use Of personality tests
in the diagnosis OF under
achievement often leads 10
erroneous conclusions.
When achievement test
scores and school grades are
lower than tests OF intelli-
gence. tests Of personality
and social adjustment some-
times are administered.
Actually. results could be
predicted without giving the
test.

the order of black beans topped
with diced raw onions, the
Spanish version Of black-eyed
peas and hog jowl - or rice
which many Southerners eat on
New Years to bring them good
luck and fortune.
The wine, of course, was
served in a porron, a Spanish
wine bottle with a long spout
so you can drink it right from
the flask, passing it around the
table in unending fashion. A
veteran - and you'll see many
of them at El Bodegon - can
hold the porron over the head
at arms length and never miss
the mouth. In the event you're
afraid to try it, Mr.. Callahan
or one Of his brightly clad
walters will show you how it's
done. Don't miss the opportu-
nifty.
With the arroz con polio and
black beans came as crisp a
green salad as we've ever been
served. For dessert we had flan,
a delightful Spanish custard.
Then came cafe espresso. To
complete this New Years meal,
Mrs. Callahan, whose parents
were born in Spain and who
have operated an authentic
Spanish grocery at 1886 Seven
teenth street NV, for 80 years,
served us furrones. a Spanish
holiday candy which reminds
one of the French nougats.
There was only one regret as
we left El Bodegon about 1890
pm. for another holiday get
together: We hadn't had room
for our favorite of all Spanish
dishes. potage de garbanzos
Spanish bean soup). The Cal
lahans serve it, of course. but
enough was enough Monday
night. Some diners-out will re-
call it as a rich soup made of
garbanzo beans (known in
these parts as chick peas)
Spanish sausage. ham, pota-
toes, and various Spanish sea-
sonings, principally saffron.
We won't miss it next year.
Wen start with the soup and
worry about the main course
later, as good a way to start
1864 as we can think of az the
moment.

bad. Retirement is a new

Q You probably can get a
retirement job, If you honest

1t is to tie up the job now
while you're still an employe.
Don't expect the status or
pay you have now, and don't
expect to loaf six months
after you retire, and then go
to the new job.
