‘Oh Pat, I’ve got another rush
job for pressing! ’
PECULIAR THING, color memory. It’s inherited. You
can’t learn it. Occasionally you find a woman who can look
at a bolt of cloth in a department store and know for
certain said cloth is a perfect match for some article of
clothing at home. This unusual girl has more than the
equivalent of perfect pitch. Color memory is far rarer.
YOU CAN FIGURE druggists nationwide will fill about
70 prescriptions during the time it takes you to read this
sentence . .. THEY WERE called “Blue Laws” because they
were printed on blue paper, that’s all. .. THAT animal most
apt to be envisioned by a sad patient in delirium tremens is
not the pink elephant but the gray dog.
OUR CHIEF PROGNOSTICATOR, that reckless fellow,
predicts: 1. The public kissing of ladies’ hands will come
into popularity again shortly. 2. Pope Paul will retire just
about a year from now. 3. The Japanese soon will market

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “Who said, ‘To keep them
happy, keep them barefoot and pregnant’?’’ A. A medical
man named Dr. Herzler. Noting this, another medical man
named Dr. Joseph Peck said, “Giving women shoes and
contraceptives has also given them time to think, and
thinking women, like Shakespeare’s Cassius, are dangerous,
because they think too much.”
CONSIDER what A.T. & T.’s picture phone will mean to
the deaf! They can’t talk to one another over distances at all
now But with sign language, finger spelling, lip reading,
they’ll be able to do so by picture phone. To you and me,
that device may be just another classy wrinkle, like color in
television. To them, though, it will be as significant as the
invention of the telephone itself. Hurry, A T. & T.
NOTE IT STATED that Mount Everest is a young
mountain, and as such, is still growing a little taller every

required to pay alimony? For more than 2,000 years, at
least. Babylonian law called for such payments in 200 B.C.
IF YOU LIVE to be 70, you’ll have devoted just about
13 years to talking. This is the contention of a Vassar
scholar. Don’t know, that’s a lot of conversation Better than
five hours a day, no? But then Vassar is a girl’s school.
Certainly, certainly.

Unusual knickknacks
By JACKIE STEFANICH
Copley News Service
Dear Nana:
I’ve been reading your
column with interest, par
ticularly about the hobby
projects you’ve mentioned.
As I was in hopes you might
have the instructions for the
knickknacks you see made
from old bottles.
My grandson saw some
recently that he dearly loved.
And I’d like to find out how they
are made so I can help him with
this hobby.
Any information you can give
me on this type of a hobby will
be greatly appreciated.
Old Bottles
Dear Old Bottles:
Sorry, but I’m not familiar
with any hobby that uses old
bottles.
However, I’ll certainly keep
you in mind if I do find the
instructions for this project.
And you might contact your
local hobby or arts and crafts
shops. They usually have a
display of the latest hobby
items.
Dear Nana:
In July a letter to you was
published in our local paper
asking you for stamps for the
lady’s grandson. You replied
you didn’t wish to send her any
but duplicates. That is your
prerogative, but would you
please send me the lady’s name
and address? Because I have
stamps I’d be very happy to
give her for her grandson.
You would obviously have far
greater chance at foreign and
or unusual stamps than she. So
I would like to send her the
Wrong is easy;
right is hard
Why is it so hard to do what is right and
so easy to do what’s wrong? N.H.
You have asked a question that goes to
the heart of all of us. Strange, isn’t it that
even innocent little children have to be
taught to do right, but they do wrong in
stinctively.
The reason is the fact that the human
race is infected with the disease of sin.
There is quite a difference between what
we ought to be and what we are; what we
would like to be, and what we are. God has
written his law in our hearts, and when we
fail to obey his law, our conscience tells us
its bonze medal to him for his heroic
efforts which saved a man’s life.
About three months ago the O’Barr
family moved to Zebulon from Decatur,
Ga. We are glad they did because any part
of the world could use more people who

of their own.

Thank you.

Dear Mrs. J. P. H.:
I'd be very happy to send you
the name and address of the
lady who wanted stamps for
her grandson’s collection.
But you neglected to enclose
a self-addressed, stamped
envelope for a reply.
Dear Nana:
I read your column all the
time and enjoy it very much.
I wonder if the lady who has a
son who lives in Europe would
have an extra stamp or two.
I have a 10-year-old great
grandson who has a stamp
collection. And he would be so
happy to get some foreign
stamps.
I’m enclosing a self
addressed, stamped envelope
and hope I can get as many as
are available for my great
grandson’s collection.

Dear Stamp Collectors:
I believe the following letter
will be of interest to all of those
who would like to exchange
duplicate stamps.
Dear Nana:
The column that mentioned
stamp collecting interested me
in as much as this is my hobby,
too.
I have several copies of many
U. S. stamps since the late
1940 s and would be happy to
send you two of each that I have
for your boxes for your grand
children if they would be
helpful to you.
I’m sure many of your
readers collect stamps and
we have sinned. Like built-in instruments
in a plane, we can detect when we have
displeased God, and in our natural state
we have displeased Him, every day in
thought, word and deed.
But through Christ, the law can be
reversed, so that we find it easy to do right
and hard to do wrong. Paul said: “For
what the law could not do, in that it was
weak through the flesh, God sending his
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and
for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; that
the righteousness of the law be fulfilled in
us.” The answer to your question is to let
Christ rule your life!
they doubtless have duplicates
they would like to trade. I know
I have many that I’d like to
exchange.
Is there any way you can get
us in touch with each other?
Stamps could be traded on an
even catalog-value basis.
Most of us don’t have much
money anymore to invest in our
hobby. In this way we can keep
our collection active at only the
postage cost.
Anyone interested in joining
my exchange stamp club
please send a self-addressed,
stamped envelope to Dear
Nana for further information.
Dear Nana:
I’m not in a home for the
aged, but I’d sure like to have
your hobby projects, men
tioned in your column.
It might help me keep my
sanity while I can still use my
hands.
Thank you kindly and God
bless you.
Mrs. E. U. G.
Dear Mrs. E. U. G.:
As per your request, I’ve sent
you the instructions for all the
hobby projects I have. And I
certainly hope they’ll help you
pass the time.
And as you live in a large
retirement community, I’d like
to suggest that you contact
your local retirement center.
They have many hobby classes
and group activities that might
be of interest to you.

part of your trouble.

N. Korea Breeding
Red Guerrillas
By RAY CROMLEY
Bits and pieces of information arriving from Mexico,
Ceylon and Cuba suggest that North Korea is being de
veloped as a center for training guerrillas to infiltrate
Asian and Latin nations.
That information has been checked against data sup
plied by North Korean agents captured by South Korean
security in Seoul.
Item: In Mexico this spring, 19 guerrillas being inter
rogated by police disclosed they were members of a group
of 50 students at Moscow’s Patrice Lumumba University
who had been flown to North Korea, with North Korean
passports at North Korean expense, trained for a period
of months, then sent on their way.
The Mexican government held the Soviet Union to be
involved and expelled five Soviet diplomats and brought
home its ambassador in Moscow.
Item: In April, Ceylon expelled the North Korean am
bassador and his staff for being involved with insurgents
attempting to overthrow the government.
Item: Captured North Korean agents report that in
1966 their government began setting up camps for training
foreign guerrillas. The data supplied outlines a short
course lasting six months and a longer course of more
than a year.
Agents report intensive study in demolition, guerrilla
tactics, marksmanship, military engineering, communi
cations, judo and ideology.
By this spring camps were reported at Nampo, Wonsan,
Haeju, Sangwon, Pyongyang, Yungbyun and several as
yet unidentified points. There are believed to be 10 train
ing sites in all.
Information is extremely difficult to come by. Security
is tight in North Korea.
But it can be said that training of foreign guerrillas is
only one part of North Korea’s new worldwide program.
North Korea is known to be sending instructors to work
in Havana’s camps for training agents to infiltrate
Central and South American countries.
The Indian press has openly accused the North Korean
mission of supplying funds for certain Indian politicians.
North Korean propaganda stations now regularly send
programs to African and Asian nations.
Working through the General Federation of Korean
Residents in Japan, North Korea has an energetic pro
gram of inviting Japanese businessmen, teachers and
left-wing politicians for visits and conferences.
The North Koreans are known to have been working at
establishing close ties with the Black Panther party in
the United States. And Pyongyang is at present working
actively to build up a group of North Korean sympathizers
in American professional, academic and youth circles.
To date, in these various attempts, the North Koreans
seem to be working closely with both Mao Tse-tung’s
China and with the Soviet Union. Because of the infight
ing between these two, this is a narrow and dangerous
path. But thus far North Korea’s Kim II Sung seems to
have handled it successfully, perhaps because he has so
thoroughly entrenched himself at home that neither Mos
cow nor Peking has rival groups to work with.
