"The Western" he says will never
die. 1t was the heart blood of the movie
industry, which still makes many a
Western. It was the theme for some
of Americas best authors. And it will
remain forever a part of television.
Nothing else in American history
lends itself as well to depicting the
ancient story Of Right VS.. Wrong, or,
to put it another way, the Good Guy
VS.. the Bad Guy"
Burt Reynolds, new to the regular
cast of "Gunsmoke" this season, backs
up the marshal:
why, Just about all the movie stu
dios are working on Westerns right
now. United Artists has John Wayne
in 'McClintock,' Paramount has Paul
Newman in 'Hud,' Warmers has Frank
Sinatra and Dean Martin in Two for
Texas and Stanley Kramer has a
movie called Invitation to Gunfight-
err in his sights"
Lorne Greene, the patriarchial Ben
Cartwright of Bonanza" has a ready
explanation for the lasting popularity
of Westerns.
Lets take our own show, Bonanza,
for example" he says. ''Now I've done
Shakespeare, and l know some people
are going to laugh, but say that
Shakespeare would be writing West
ens if he were alive today. For the
same clash of human emotions on a
wide scope that Shakespeare worked
with forms the basis of all good
Westerns.
Robert Fuller has personal reason
for feeling optimistic about Westerns.
=" Wagon Train is being expanded
to a SO-minute show" he points out.
II believe the series, entering its
seventh season, will reach new pop
ularity peak. With John McIntire head

Clint Eastwood and Eric Fleming,
"Rawhide" stars, also look for their
series to gain a record popularity in
its fifth season.
Nowadays" Clint says, there are
a great many high-budget shows on
television, employing some of the best
talent in New York and Hollywood.
'The number of Westerns may be
down from a few years ago, but we
believe that generally the quality is
better. Our competition sets high
standards for us. It's as simple as
that"
That's the way Western fans like
things.
Simple.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

@. I have noticed once or
twice recently in your column
that you have used "okay." I
am disturbed by this for have
always commended that this is
q downright slangy expression.
Don't you agree? - M. c.,
Omaha.
A. When "okay" first entered
our language about 1910. 1t. was
certainly a slang term. But the
history Of our language is full
of examples Of words that
began as slang and eventually
graduated to entirely proper
usage. "Okay" or ok" has
certainly risen to the point
where it Is entirely acceptable
colloquial usage-that is, proper
in conversation or informal
writing. Hence, my occasional
use of 1t in this column.
Woodrow Wilson and other
Presidents since his day have
made frequent use Of this ex-
preston and no less an au-
thority than Henry L. Mencken
once wrote that "okay is with
out question the most success
full Of all Americanisms." So,
what's good enough for Presi-
dents and H. L. M. is good
enough for w. M.

ever, it nowadays survives
mainly as an item Of regional

originally from the Ozarks or
from some areas Of West Vir-

the one in which q dog lay in
a manger and snarled at the
OK whenever the OK came to
eat the hay. The point to the
fable. Of course. is that the
dog could not eat the hay him
self, but he was keeping the OK
from it. So a dog in the man

mined that no one else will

Counts Hand

The play was more success
full when declarer counted Out
the West hand. Since East dis.
carded on the second club II
was clear that West ha 4
started with six clubs. When
West also followed to three
rounds Of spades the normal
heart finesse began to look
doubtful.
BY this time Q Of Vests IL
cards were known. West could
have only four cards In both
red suits combined.
A good declarer would take
the top diamonds and ruff q
diamond, thus discovering that
West held three diamonds to
begin with. There is room in
the West hand for only one
heart.
5ouLn can make the contract
only II Vests singleton heart
Is the queen or 10. Declarer
must lead q low heart to dunn

Vests heart Is the 10. Now

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

EXPENSE ACCOUNT:
When humorist Art Buch-
valid began writing his col
umn for the Paris Herald, he
was permitted to bill the
paper for legitimate expenses,
recalls Eric Hawkins, former
managing editor. in Hawk
ms Of the Paris Herald" with
Robert N. Sturdevant.
THE late Aga Khan once
wrote asking Art for his
advice on the best small
restaurants in Paris. Buch-
valid replied with an invita-
ton to take the potentate to
lunch on his next trip TO
Paris. This was duly done
and the Aga Khan was de-
lighted.

Lunch. Aga Khan - 1000
francs
"Buchwald nodded and
said, He ate q lot. All I had
was a piece Of bread and q
glass Of win ordinaire.'
"'I believe you I said. But
next time you take him to
lunch, remember the Aga

Opening lead: King OF clubs.
Today's hand was played in
a Nationwide contest for bust
ness and industrial workers
and executives. The counters
weren't all in the group that
sits still and thinks from 8 to 5.
West begins by taking three
club tricks. Then he leads q
trump. and it's up to South to
win the rest.
The heart suit is the prob
lem, Of course. Most players
drew trumps and tried q finesse
with dummy's jack Of hearts.
This lost, and everybody usu-
ally agreed that 1t was Just

Year End Statement
by
w. D. Gillen, President
The Diamond State Telephone
Company
Company

The Diamond State Telephone
Company will spend an estimated
So, ,621, 900 in 1868 for construc-
tion in Delaware, making this
the twelfth consecutive year ir
which construction expenditures
will have exceeded $5 million.
Outlays of this magnitude are
necessary to maintain the high
quality of all the communica-
tions services we provide, to in
crease the versatility of these
services, and to expand our
facilities to keep pace with in
creasing demand.
In our Delaware territory In
1862, we added 10, 900 new tele-
phones, bringing the number in
service to 236, 900 at years end.
A similar growth rate is antici-
pated in the year ahead.
Present indications are that
customers served by the Diamond
State Company will make more
than 1 l,037,0 900 calls a day during
the coming year, an increase OF
35, 900 calls over the 1862 daily
average.
Facilities for data trans
mission, Centrex systems and
similar services designed for
business customers will also be
expanded.
The company's contribution to
Delaware's economy continues
to grow. Our 1862 payroll
reached a new high of $S.5 mil
lion, an increase of half a million
dollars over the preceding year.
Bell System purchases of ma
terials and supplies from some
800 Delaware firms totaled ap-
proximately $2.8 million during
the year, including purchases
by the Diamond State Company
and by the Western Electric Co.,
manufacturing and supply unit
of the system.
The combination of payroll and
purchases, which amounted to
$11.3 million, provided a vital
economic stimulus to almost
every community throughout the
state.
During the coming year, the
company's dollar contribution to-
Delaware's economy will con-
tinue to be an important factor
In the states prosperity and
progress.

Expectant
Mothers

Childbirth is a completely
natural and normal happening
and in, a large majority of births
the infant begins life with no
special problems for either child
or mother.
The early weeks of pregnancy
are the most important in the
infants development. II is during
this period that the growing baby
is most susceptible to all sorts
of problems that will cause
trouble later.
Widespread studies have shown
that many birth problems could
have been prevented or reduced
if the mother-to- be had consulted
a physician at the outset of preg-
nancy, or even before becoming
pregnant.
For instance, the mothers diet
is important to her baby. Awell-
balanced diet containing all of the
essentials to proper nutrition
and growth is necessary for both
mother and infant. The doctor has
long been aware of the Importance
of diet inpregnancy and thus gives
counsel to the mother-to-be.
Certain infectious diseases,
such as German measles, can
have an adverse effect on the
infant if the mother becomes
i'll, particularly during the first
three months of pregnancy. 1t
is most important for the
prospective mother to avoid con-
tact with sick persons and to
extra precautions

Home Economics
Scholarship

For many years the Sussex
County Home Demonstration
Clubs have offered a scholarship
to a Sussex high school girl
graduate who wishes to study
home economics at the Universi-
ty of Delaware. The scholars ship
provides a gift of $4,000 each
year for the first two years,
and a loan of similar amounts
for the last two years, If needed.
Mrs. Donald Lynch, Selbyville,
chairman Of the scholarship COM
mittee, announces that this
scholarship will be available for
the 1963-64 school year. In
formation on how to apply and
terms of the contract may be
obtained from home economics
teachers, guidance directors, or
principals of any of the high
schools in the county. Deadline
for applying is February is.
Another member of this COM
mittee is Mrs. Dale Workman
of Georgetown. Information may
be obtained from either mem
Der of this committee or from
the County Extension Office
through Miss Frances Shoffner,
County Home Economics Ex-
tension Agent, Georgetown.

against exposure to infectious
ailments.
Blood typing Of both father
and mother will inform the doc
tor early as to whether there is
a possibility of a clash of blood
types between the two parents
that may cause problems for the
infant. Warned in advance, the
doctor can be prepared to meet
this condition.
Drugs sometimes can have an
effect on the embryo, particu-
larly during the early months
of pregnancy. Witness the re-
cent births of malformed babies
in Europe following widespread
distribution of what was thought
to be a harmless sleeping pill.
The expectant mother should be
very cautious about taking any
drugs without consulting her doc
tor.
Good prenatal care won't solve
all of the problems associated
with childbirth, but it will enable
the doctor to deal successfully
with many of them.
