True To Whose Life?
By BETTY CANARY
1
My 9-year-old daughter and her girl friend,
Janie, were studying the television schedule
and I heard them discuss the list of movies.
“Here’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame,”’
Cissy said. “Oh, let’s not watch that,’’ Janie
groaned. “I am so sick of all this football!”
More a matter of being conditioned than
a question of semantics, I thought. As Rick
and Stu were handy, I asked if they knew
what the movie was all about and, of course,
they were familiar with the story. Then I
asked them another question I’d had in mind
for some time. “When you see a movie ad
vertised as being ‘true to life,’ what do you
think about it?”
Stu’s reply was, “I know it’s something I
can’t see,” and Rick said, “I know it’s a film
that’s going to be grim, grim, grim.”
I wasn’t too surprised with their answers.
And I would like to know why it is that con
temporary plays and poems and films with
any pretense of seriousness depict nothing
but ugliness and misery and failure.
Don’t you feel you’re about to be drowned
gmiY’S POINTERS

Jr. Woman’s
Club Has
Banquet
Thirty members and their hus
bands of the Griffin Junior Wo
man’s Club celebrated St. Valen
tine’s Day with a smorgasboard
and square dance at the Grif
fin Moose Club Friday evening.
Mrs. Edmund Roberts, presi
dent, welcomed the group and
Introduced a new member, Mrs.
Robert Branch and her husband.
A large red velvet covered he
art, decked with a center of pa
per roses, was placed between
silver candelabra holding red
tapers on the head table. Smal
ler Individual red velvet heart
bases held red candles on the
side tables where scattered fr
esh red camellias completed the
Valentine theme.
Mrs. Michael Stephens and
Mrs. Rhett Glover were In char

in the current deluge of stories about people
who live closely together either as family or
friends and yet never really know each
other? (I always come away with the feeling
they should be happy about this!)
And how about those authors who feel their
contribution to literature should be a series
of books, pseudo-autobiographies, in which
they do nothing but pick at the sores on their
psyches?
Then there’s that perennial plot always
popping up. You know, the one where the
successful (this word to be said as though
one had just bitten down on a rotten cherry
pit) man, president of a major business con
cern, husband of a loving wife and father of
passable children, suddenly decides what he
has really wanted all his life is that basically
honest prostitute (“I’m clean inside,
Charles!”) and a little piece of ground in the
country where he can grow chrysanthe
mums.
Now, I simply cannot accept this picturing
of “the human condition” as true. I see it
not only as grim but false. Also, it’s a bore,
bore, bore.
DEAR POLLY — At the age
of 43,1 am beginning to fight the
"battle of the bulge” but my
busy days as a housewife and
mother of five leave no schedule
time for dally exercises to help
me keep trim. However, minu
tes for pushups, knee bends, wa
ist slimming, etc., come at the
oddest times in my day — at 4
a.m. when I get up to make hub
by’s coffee and lunch before he
goes to work, that time while
waiting for the toast to pop up,
water to boil, potatoes to be tur
ned, washer to stop spinning,
iron to get hot, mailman to drop
the mail in the box, by “talk
ing five” before my shower,
while the family washes for din
ner or during an afternoon br
eak. Snatch any bit of time that
comes along and it will get done
and still not seem such a chore.

DEAR POLLY — I hope I can
help Tina remove the spattered
grease spots from her linen dr
ess. I tried, unsuccessfully, to
remove such spots from a cham
bray dress by washing. The spots
showed up again when I was Ir
oning the dress. In desperation
I spread a cloth on the board,
laid the stained portion over It
and rubbed all the spots gently
but firmly with cleaning fluid.
Next I hung the dress out of
doors. One or two spots had to
have a second treatment but It
all came out without a trace of
grease. — E.C.W.
DEAR POLLY — If Tina will
rub the grease spots on her li
nen dress with full strength hair
shampoo before she washes It, it
will cut the grease. Sometimes
I have to repeat this if I have
failed to see a few spots the fir-

Old stains to be treated with
the dry-cleaning fluid will come
out more easily if they are left
to soak in it for a short time and
then washed with hot suds and
rinse. Sometimes it is best to ap
