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.

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.”

um, consisting of 750 relics of the
life of Lincoln, boyght by the gov
ernment from Osborn H. 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.”

President Truman Will Be Hard To Beat in 1952
By Wright A. 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

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.

made at home like* flour, sugar
and water mixed? Will this do the
same trick?
ANSWER: I have never neard
of that mixture for a sizing job,
and .would prefer a commercial
product as being more satisfac
tory. It is best to wait at least two
months to let plaster dry out
thoroughly before painting. If you
wish to apply a finish at once, you
can put on a resin base* water

ng. Later, if you would like to
