+HE NEWBteRRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. > ** s\ » MIRROR Bored Worker Of Your. n ■ Is Not Smart MIND By Lawrence Gould Is It smart to be bored with your Job? Answer: No, says Dr. Patricia Cain Smith of Cornell University in a report to the American Psycho logical Association. The fact that you are bored with your job is no proof that you are smarter than someone who isn’t. A study of wom en factory workers doing repetitive work showed the ones who said they were bored usually were less happy in their home life, younger, and more inclined to be rebellious, but no more intelligent than their fel low workers. Dr. Smith believes “Monotony in industrial jobs is over rated.” Actually. “Nobody does ex actly the same thing in exactly the same way each time.” Has your body its own “language”? Answer: Yes, says Dr. Felix Deu- tsch in an article, “Thus Speaks the Body.” A study of the response of the small blood vessels in patients with neurotic skin ailments to ex ternal or emotional stimuli showed this response to be an integrated part of the personality pattern of the patient. The way in which any given person reacts depends, not on the nature of the stimulus but on what it “means” to him. (There are peo ple who react with distaste to all physical contacts, for example, be cause these imply sex to theim) A response like blushing may be “the effect of conscious and unconscious after-images of past experiences.” Can you help people against their will? Answer: No, and this is one of the most painful _ aspects of “re ality” which we must learn to ac cept, for refusing to accept it will only cause more pain in the long run. You may see a loved child suffering from neurosis or some kind of character disorder which you believe would be curable by psychiatric treatment, and yet if the child is grown up, there is no use trying to force the rure on him, especially if his way of living satis fies him. You will only put him on the defensive and make him more “set in his ways” than ever. You can only wait until he becomes dis satisfied and ready to try to see what is wrong.

Recently we wrote about the num ber of cases of peptic ulcer in which the patients, after using banthine for a time, found that they were not perspiring so much as before. It was found that the action of banthine reduced the strength of the muscular action of the walls of the stomach, cut down the amount of stomach digestive juice (gastric juice) and also cut down the per centage of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice and the amount of perspiration of the sweat glands.

FORD'S THEATRE Senator Young Wants Congress To Rehabilitate Ford's Theatre WNU Washington Bureau Senator Milton R. Young of North Dakota is again trying to get legis lation through cqngress to rehabili tate historic Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D. C., where Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1946, Senator Young recently intro duced a joint resolution asking that the secretary of the interior be di rected to prepare and submit an estimate of the cost of restoration. Estimates in the past have been as high as $500,000. In his statement to congress. Senator Young said: “Each year, thousands upon thousands of visi tors come to Washington, the most beautiful capital in the world, where they view with pride many magnifi cent monuments and edifices. Un fortunately, most everyone who visits Ford’s Theatre is disap pointed because of its present state. In sharp contrast to many well- preserved shrines, this one has degenerated to a point where a per son must rely on his imagination al most completely to realize that it ever existed as a theatre.” Senator Young added that “through the ensuing years, little has been done to preserve this historic place. The property was acquired by the government shortly after the assassination and was utilized for a number of purposes of no historic significance.” The building now houses a muse- By INEZ GERHARD G EORGIE PRICE has come a long way since, as a child, he toured the country with a Gus Ed wards unit that included Eddie Cantor and Walter WinchelL He became a stage star, a top .radio comedian, then abandoned both for Wall Street; he still works there days, as senior partner of a broker age firm. In his new radio show, “Big Time,” on the CBS Radio Net work, he returns to the 1900-1930 period, bringing back the songs whic£ vaudeville made famous. Al so, each week he will sing a novelty number made famous in the manner of the person who sang it. EDDIE CANTOR Eddie Cantor’s new NBC show, Sundays, “Eddie Cantor—Show Business”, is somewhat similar. He dips into his experiences in 42 years of show business to re late incidents about the people he has known, with recordings of famous voices and songs tak en from his private collection of nearly 50,000 records.

Oldroyd, a native of Ohio and a collector of Lincoln articles, for $50,000 in 1920. There are footprints painted on the floor tracing the path of Booth as he ran across the stage and escaped through a rear door to his horse. A miniature has been constructed of the theatre as it looked that night, and is displayed as part of the museum collection. In spite of all these efforts, how ever, the entire effect is a constant disappointment to more than 100,- 000 visitors annually who walk in and ask “Where’s the theatre?” After the assassination, guards were posted at the theatre and it was closed until the following June when it was restored to John T. Ford, the owner. Ford then tried to reopen the theatre, but met with such public disapproval that the War Department ordered it closed again. Ford threatened to sue, after which the government rented the building and then bought it for $100,000 in 1886. The former theatre was then used for a government office building. Another tragedy occurred in 1893 when the three floors collapsed fol lowing excavation in the basement which weakened the structure. Twenty-two persons were killed and 68 injured. The building was re stored the following year and was used for storage purposes. The pres ent exhibit was opened to the public in 1932. • • • THE VISITOR is much more easi ly transported back through the years by viewing the house where Lincoln died, just across the street from Ford’s Theatre. Its appear ance today is substantially the same as it was in 1865. Originally the home of William Petersen, a Swed ish tailor, it was built in 1849. Be cause the three-story house ^®bad more rooms than the family re quired, Petersen rented some of them. The room to which Lincoln was taken was then occupied by a young soldier. The Petersen house was later purchased I by Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schade, who for many years were constantly asked by tourists for permission to view the room in which Lincoln died. Long before they sold the property, they had moved away and rented the house. The Government purchased the building from the Schade family in 1896. The house where Lincoln died was refurnished in 1932 by several wom en’s patriotic organizations follow ing as nearly as possible a diagram made shortly after Lincoln’s death. Several pieces of furniture were originally in the Lincoln home in Springfield, HI. Both the exterior and the interior of the house have been so well restored that the ap pearance is very much the same as it was the night Lincoln was shot. The Petersen house, was chosen as a place to carry the dying President because the doctor in at tendance had asked that Lincoln be taken to the nearest house that had a light. He had to be laid diagonally across the small bed, his extreme height not permitting any other position. A meeting cxf the cabinet was held in the back parlor, where Secretary of War Stanton began his investigation of the assassination. At 7:22 the next morning April 15, 1865 Lincoln died whereupon Sec retary Stanton voiced the historic words: “Now he belongs to the ages.” ACROSS l. Flesh of swine C. One who uses 9. Scope 10.

After the third he came stomping into my room, his face black. “Well,” he he snorted, “what you got to say now? Your friend lost today’s game. He lost it because he got his signals twisted in the last quarter.” “But how about the first two games?” I asked. “It was that same boy that turned defeat into victory for us. Two to • one isn’t bad, Charlie. It’s better than any of those other lugs are doing.” “Nuts!” said Charlie. But when Charlie thought it over he agreed. He was still pretty sore.

Patterson J ONATHAN DANIELS, the editor of the Raleigh, S. C. Chronicle, a friend of President Truman, a one time employee in the White House, says in the August Ameri can Magazine that Harry S. Truman will be the Democratic nominee for President next year, and gives a number of reasons why he will be elected. No one of his reasons are as potent as the one that he fails to mention. That is the assured Truman vote of the Democratic army of bureaucrats, now numbering 2,300,000, and their relatives and friends, who want ^o see them hold onto their federal govern ment jobs. In the days of Tam many control of New York city, the sachems claimed that each Job was good for eight Tam many votes in any city election, and frequently demonstrated the correctness of thgt claim. But should each bureaucratic job be good for only half of that number, fonr votes, there, for the President to start with, is more than eight million votes, and that is some handicap for any Republican nominee to over come. Especially so, when the party Is only against what the opposition has done, but for nothing with which to appeal for votes, while the Demo cratic party stands for a definite, and well defined program. That program is one reason for the Daniels assurance of Truman suc cess. The Republicans can taka full credit for that 8,000,000 vote handicap they must overcome if their candidate is to win. In the 80th congresss, they bad a ma jority in both bouses of congress, and might have forced the dis banding of that bureaucratic army by not appropriating money to pay it, but they did not do so, and now they must face the consequences. That army will be larger, rather than less, when the 1952 election day arrives. For each new job there will be, at least, four more Truman votes. I would say that betting against the President Is in no sense a sure win. A California state of ficial, a Republican, said to me recently: “Unless Warren is the Republican nominee, the state will be In the Truman column.” It hardly seems probable, but Daniels could be right. Anyway let’* wait until the votes are counted. The people and state officials of California think It is quite proper for the federal govern ment to spend billions in build ing dams, irrigating land and preventing floods in California, from which only the people of California benefit, but they seri ously object to the same pro cedure ir Arizona. The central valley project of Cali fornia, is as much a state project as is the central Arizona project The one difference is the smaller cost in California. Neither project will benefit any one outside of the state in which the money is spent But it is the tax-payers in all the states who will pay the bill for both, and the people of both states eventually will sacrifice much of their local sovereignty through ac cepting and using the billions the federal government pours into such projects. Tor those states if means the death of constitutional states rights. Congress should stop all such appropriations, other than those that can be self liquidating over a reasonable number of years. The Hoover dam in the Colorado river, while benefitting in one way or another five states and though built with govern ment money, was not a gift. The cost is being returned to the federal treasury, and within a rea sonable number of years it will all be paid, plus interest. Others should be financed in the same way, in cluding the central Arizona project, but the wealthy land owners are like all the other indigents who want their water supplied to them at no cost * We pay a terrible price in dead and crippled, for each weekend holi day. Too much hurry to get there. * British born Secretary of State Acheson is a heavy load to carry into a political campaign. * The report of the Senate Investi gating committee was not specially pleasing to those responsible for the firing of Douglas MacArthur. Uncannily, Jeff, a lone figure, was there to stop him. couldn’t stop the boy. The victory gave us a lift, but behind it there was always that haunting fear that next Saturday or the next or the next, the kid would go haywire and start running in the wrong direction, or something. . Charlie and I held our breaths all falL Figuratively, of course. 4 N OVEMBER came around and time for the all-important Hub bard fracas. Hubbard was our tradi tional enemy. Beating them was all that was necessary to make the sea son complete. Two days before the game Charlie came up to my room. “If we win Saturday,” he said, “we won’t have to worry about being in solid.” He looked thoughtful. I knew what he was thinking. “If you don’t let the kid play we won’t have a chance,” I said. “There’s a bare Irpe of winning without him.” Charlie scratched bin chin. “If I put him in there’s al ways a chance ” “The kid’s got the signals down pat,” I ssfid quickly. “He’s proved it. You know as well as I that with out Jeff Chappell we’re licked.” Charlie wasn’t sure. You could see he was scared stiff. He wanted assurance, and I gave it to him. My confidence in the kid settled the thing in Charlie’s mind. He agreed to play Chappell. Despite our rec ord and the fact that we had Jeff Chappell the odds were cn Hubbard. Hubbard had a clean record. Their victories had been won by big margins. / The first quarter and the sec ond ended with no score. In the third, the Hubbard fullback snaked through our line and sprinted 30 yards for a touch down. They failed to kick the • point. In the fourth the Hubbard left half came around right end on a trick-play. Our whole backfield was fooled. All except Jeff Chappell. Uncannily Jeff, a lone figure, was there to stop him. That gave us the ball. We made three yards in three downs, and then, instead of booting. Cole, our quarter, gave Jeff dhap- pell the ball and Jeff made as pretty a run as you’d ever seen any where. Cole kicked the extra point. A minute later the whistle blew. After it was over I got Jeff up into my room. “Listen,” I said, “how about it? That trick play of Hub bard’s was a corker. How come it didn't fool you, too?” He grinned sheepishly. After awhile I got the story. Jeff never did get the signals straight, bul he discovered a system all his own. He’d watch the toes of the opposing players. If the play was going left, the majority of toes would point that way. Instinctively. And the same applied to our boys. It never failed. Jeff said he’d heard something Uko that on the radio. I never told Charlie. Knitted Rug HOUSE Knitted Rag H ERE’S a fast moving knitting project for you.
