NOBODY YET has explained why theology seems to
attract a preponderance of lean, lightly built men, but
studies by Harvard anthropologists indicate
such.... THERE’S NO RECORD, says a man of science,
that any of the noises in nature ever damaged the human
ear. . DURING one decade approximately 100 years ago,
the railroad engines in Egypt burned human mummies for
fuel, history shows. Incredible! Mummies, and nothing
else .... DID I TELL YOU the best of the pumpkin vines
grow so fast they can turn out most of the makings for a
pumpkin pie every seven hours?
ALWAYS TRIM your hedge narrow at the top and wide
at the base. Most people don’t. But you do it, anyway So
decrees a scholarly landscaper at the University of Illinois.
You ought to let light to the lower leaves, he says. Why so
many weekend gardeners trim their hedges exactly wrong -
wide at the top and narrow at the bottom - is mystery.
IT’S PROVED beyond question that peanut butter is a far

ONE OUT OF SIX romances turned into marriages. Those
were the statistics 20 years ago They’ve changed, sir
According to the matrimonial researchers now, only one out
of nine romances turns into a marriage. Our Love and War
man has looked into this situation, too. “It’s not the
youngsters are more fickle," he says, “but the divorced are
slower to solemnize. They tend to prefer trial affairs Their
faith in the wedding ceremony has slipped. Badly.”
OPEN QUESTION: What’s the widest street in the world?
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “What’s the difference
between a moonlighter and a sundowner?” A. A moonlighter
is a daytime professional who works at a secondary job at
night. Like a teacher who waits tables or policeman who
drives a cab. A sundowner is a professional who does his
chief work at night, but holds down a bread-and-butter
payroll job in the daytime. Like an artist who delivers mail
Or a novelist who mows lawns.
IT WAS Pinkerton’s motto “We never sleep” in the
trademark of the open orb that led us eventually to refer to
every detective-for-hire as a private eye. ONE

prove blue-eyed folk live longer than brown-eyed folk.

Husband embarrasses
wife with criticism
By JACKIE STEFANICH
Copley News Service
Dear Nana:
For 30 years my husband has
embarrassed me no end by
making an issue of my short
comings in front of our friends.
He says I either talk too
much and monopolize the
conversation or I’m rude
because I don’t like people so I
just sit and won’t enter into
their conversations.
At times he has hurt me so
bad I’ve wanted to cry. But I
don’t like to cause a scene in
public. What should I do when
he does this again?
I’m getting so I don’t want to
be around people because I
never know when he’s going to
call me on something he thinks
I’ve done wrong.
I feel the least he could do is
to wait until we’re alone if I’ve
goofed in some way.
T. C.
Dear T. C.:
I know husbands expect their
wives to be perfect at all times.
And they sometimes forget
we’re humans and have
feelings.
First, I think I’d tell your
husband to make up his mind.
Either you talk or you don’t.
Then I’d tell him if he calls you
down in public again you’re
going to do the same to him
I’m sure your husband isn’t
perfect and must have a few
faults, as we all do.
What’s good for the goose, is
also good for the gander.
Dear Nana:
I have a wonderful
housekeeper who’s not young
anymore. In fact, she’ll be 65
next month. She has been with
us so long she’s like a member

DEAR NANA
of the family and we all dearly
love her.
As Mabel i that’s not her real
name) reads your column, I
hope she’ll see this and take
your advice.
Mabel's children and
grandchildren keep her so
broke borrowing from her all
the time, she doesn’t take care
of herself properly. She has
needed false teeth for years but
she can’t save enough money to
get them.
I’ve even put Mabel's money
in my savings account until she
gets enough for her teeth. But
her children or grandchildren
talk her out of it with some
hard-luck story.
Can you please tell me how to
help Mabel save her money so
she can get false teeth? I feel
sorry for her but I don’t know
what else I can do to help.
Housekeeper
Dear Housekeeper:
If it’s agreeable with Mabel,
I'd suggest you pay for her
false teeth. Then you can
deduct it from her salary
monthly.
If Mabel doesn’t have this
extra she can’t lend it
to her family
Dear Nana:
My father is mentally
deranged and in a diabetic
coma most of the time. His
physician says he won’t live
very long.
Naturally, I’m sure you can
appreciate how this tears me
apart to see him in this con
dition. Therefore, I’m won
dering if I should go to see him
so often?
My father doesn’t know me
or any of the family. Any ad
vice you can give me will be
greatly appreciated.
Non visitor
Dear Non visitor:
If your father is getting all
the care he needs medically, I
don’t think you should torture
yourself.
However, I do feel this is a
matter you should discuss with
your father’s physician.
There’s always the chance he
will regain consciousness and
I'm sure you’d want to be there.
Dear Nana:
Ever since I was a child I’ve
heard the elderly members of
my family tell about weird
dreams that have a meaning.
Such as, if you dream about
water or you hear someone
calling you when you’re asleep,
you’ll hear about a death very
soon.
My great-aunt, who’s 84, says
she gets deathly ill (sick at her
stomach i just before there’s an
earthquake
Aire these sayings true or just
old wives’ tales?
Weird Dreams
Dear Weird Dreams:
Although I've also heard
some of these dream tales, I'm
not a psychiatrist so I can’t say
that they do or don’t have a
meaning.
However, I'm more apt to
think these kinds of dreams are
caused because the individual
has overeaten or is concerned
about a family member who’s
very ill.
Nausea being linked to an
earthquake is a new one on me.
Therefore, I'm afraid you’d
need the opinion of a dream
expert to tell you whether it’s a
dream-saying or an old wives'
tale.

elderly may be sent to Copley

impress that makes them blush.
Actually, bashfuless is caused
by self-consciousness. The best
way to overcome this is to
forget about yourself, stop
trying to be impressive, and be
natural.
Some people declare that the
demands of Christianity are
unnatural, but actually the goal
of the Christian faith is to make
people function normally. Jesus
said, “If any man would come
after me, let him deny himself.”
The best thing we can do to
overcome bashfulness, pride
and consuming aggressiveness,
is to “deny self” to subordinate
the ego. When we “surrender”
ourselves, and give up trying to
be impressive and important,
we become natural and
animated. As a boy in school I
was very self-conscious,
especially before an audience.
But I found out that the best way
to “lose yourself’ in what you
have to say, and forget about
“how” you are saying it. Life is
like that. If we “lose ourselves”
in some great cause, preferably
the cause of Christ, we find
ourselves. How to keep a con
versation going? Have
something to say first, and
second, forget how you say it. If
you “lose yourself” you will find
yourself.
