resolutions about taking up the
gracious life? UPI National
Reporter Harry Ferguson tells
how it might happen even to
you.
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press International
I’d had a rough day at the
office but I knew my troubles
was only beginning when she
plumps down on the sofa with a
box in her lap and that we are
going to have a serious talk look
on her face.
She says I have made my
number one New Year’s resolu
tion from now on we are going
to do some gracious living like
the French do I have been
reading the French chef by
Julia Childs and my head is
teeming with ideas tonight we
are going to have lapann
casserole and I guess I had
better explain that means
rabbit stewed in delicious
sauces for dessert we will have
fromage bree which is cheese.
Also we are going to cut out the
bourbon and branch before
dinner tonight I will serve a
saucy little vann ordonair which
is not vintage or expensive but
is capable of taunting your
palate.
I says what’s all this fancy
talk just because you joined
that French speaking club you
don’t have to practice on me
and what’s more I don’t like
rabbit and this is our regular
night fpr sirloin and French fries
if you insist on something
French. She says if I wanted to
be rude and vulgar like a
certain party I know I would
say to you fermay luh boosh
which in a civilized language
means shut your mouth. It looks
to me like the time has come to
change the subject because I
know storm warnings when I
see them so I says what’s in the
box?
She says oh it’s a surprise for
you and she opens it up and
pulls out a pink turtle-neck
sweater. I says there must be
some mistake that ain’t for me
it’s for you. She says no it’s for
you and it is tray sheek why all
the cute men are wearing them
Cary Grant and Johnny Carson
and Merv Griffin and Bobby
Kennedy and turtle-neck swea
ters are what are known in
paree as ah lah moad.
I says I know you’re off your
rocker because ah lah moad
means putting ice cream on pie
and don’t forget I was in
France during the war. I says
anyway I ain’t going to be
caught dead in a pink sweater
so you can send it rignt back
where it came from and she
says it’s not pink it’s coral and
a lovely shade too. I says I say
it’s pink and I know a five-letter
word that rhymes with pink and
if you like I will make up a
short poem right now using both
words. She says cut out the
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
act if I want to hear any poetry
I will read the divine Gallic
works of such giants as Victor
Hugo and Franswah Veeyown
and in the original too which is
more than some people could
do.
She says do you want to try it
on you don’t have to wear any
necktie with it. I says what kind
of family planning do ■ you call
that the kids gave me six
neckties for Christmas and now
you tell me I can’t wear them
what shall I use them for to
hang myself? She says oh you
can wear the ties with your
regular shirts this sweater must
be reserved for special occa-
Woman Held
In Shooting
Joann Frazier Phinazee of 404
West Oak street was being held
in Griffin jail today in connec
tion with the shooting death of
Opal Nell Redding, 28, of 812 Sc
ale street.
Det. Ronnie Irvin said the
shooting, happened Friday on
West Oak street.
Police were called to the Grif

m. and on arrival found Mrs.

ber bullet had struck her heart.

sions and gron fates. I says I
don’t know nothing about gron
fates and I never been to one in
my life and I’m too old to start
now especially all rigged up in a
pink sweater and no tie.
She says I guess you forgot
where we are going Saturday
night we have been invited to
the lovely home of a Mister and
Missus Trenholm and I believe
you have heard of these people
before ness pah? She was being
sarcastic now because George
Trenholm is my boss and the
biggest wheel at the office so I
just says yes it happens I am
acquainted with both Mister and
Missus Trenholm and I will add
this piece of information if I
show up Saturday night wearing
a pink sweater George Tren
holm will fire me Monday
morning and you can practice
French cooking in the poor
house.
She says ah mone pateet you
do not understand the ways of a
woman or as the French say
you do not know the old saying
chershay lah fem it so happens
I had a telephone call yesterday
from Margaret Trenholm she
called to tell me that the party
was going to be black tie and
semi-formal and that she
thought it would be a cute idea
if the men wore dinner jackets
and turtle-neck sweaters with
no tie so they would sort of be
in the noovoh moad.
I says is George Trenholm
going to wear a turtle neck
sweater and she says why of
course moan share Margaret
said she had bought three of
them for George and he liked
them especially the salmon
colored one they come in the
most divine colors you know.
I says is dinner ready and she
says wee and we go into the
dining room and there is a pot
in the middle of the table and
she says vwah-lah luh lapann
casserole and we are supposed
to drink this vann ordinair at
room temperature.
She starts dishing out the
rabbit stew and says would you
like to hear about my other
New Year’s resolutions and I
says not right now thank you
and bites Into the rabbit stew
which is tough. She says very
well I will tell you about my
other resolutions right after
dinner and you can tell me
about yours and in the
meantime I wish you bone
apateet.
Drug Firms
Found Guilty
NEW YORK (UPD—Three
giants of the drug industry were
found guilty Friday night of
conspiracy to monopolize the
production and sale of antibio
tics amounting to $1.7 billion.
A federal jury returned the
guilty verdicts against Charles
Pfier & Co., Bristol Myers and
American Cyanamid, on one
count each of conspiracy to
monopolize, conspiracy to re
strain trade and actual monolo
py.
The case, which involved
production, distribution and
sales of the antibiotics from
1953 through 1961, was said by
the Department of Justice to be
the largest of its kind in the
drug industry.
The three firms did about 70
per cent of the annual national
business in the drugs involved—
broad spectrum antibiotics
which Included Aureomycin,
Terramycln and Tetracycline
widely used in the treatment of
infectious diseases.
The government charged that
during the period involved the
three firms entered into illegal
arrangements which resulted in
“enormous” profits far above
that which normal competition
could account for.
A spokesman for Pfizer said
his company “disagreed with
and was deeply disappointed by
the verdict of the jury.”
Officials of the other compa
nies involved were not immedi
ately available for comment.
During, the trial which started
Oct. 23, the government main
tained that Cyanamid and
Pfizer sold Tetracycline to
druggists for more than S3O per
hundred which eventually cost
consumers about SSO. The
prosecution said the actual cost
to the companies ranged from
$1.59 to $3.87.
REFUSE RESTRICTION
TOKYO (UPl)—Japanese cus
toms officials announced Wed
nesday they would allow the
importing of North Vietnamese
fountain pens that bear a
trademark identical to that of
Parker pens of the United
States. Parker had asked that
the Communist-made pens not
be allowed into the country but
the Finance Ministry said it
could not conclude there was a
trademark infringement.

State Kindergartens
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov.
