Os Nagging ILg/j
That thing called “nagging” is frequently blamed for
marital discord. Client asks, “What exactly is nagging?”
Our Love and War man defines it as a complaint offered
more than once about something complaints can’t change.
A WEDDING photographer of 25 years experience
contends that four out of five brides do not know how to
spell "altar” and another four out of five do not know
how to spell “aisle.”
Q. “WHO said, 'Trust everybody, but cut the cards’?
Cromwell?”
A. No, Einley Peter Dunne said that. Cromwell said,
“Trust in God and keep your powder dry.”
VIRILITY
It’s reported a Houston doctor has devised a surgical
technique that restores virility in impotent men. The spe
cialist is identified as Dr. F. Brantley Scott, chief of
urology service at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital and pro
fessor of urology at Baylor College. He’s quoted as saying
the operation calls for the implant of a cylindrical elastic
device within the male tissues. The technical description
of the procedure is a little too clinical for this column. But
it's said the man so equipped can ready himself for
romance at will. If no complications develop, the opera
tion costs between $5,000 and $7,000. Hospital time, eight
to 12 days. Patients can become active in three to six
weeks. One of the first, a retired oil company executive
named Leon Henderson, 62, reportedly said: “It’s made
a new man out of me.”
FIRST WOMAN
What two words did you first learn to read? Not
speak, read. An educator of some renown contends
“corn" and "flakes" probably merit that distinction. For
most people. He says the majority of youngsters learn to
read cereal boxes long before children's stories.
NO MAN-MADE dynamo can turn out as much
light in proportion to its size as can a firefly ... IF

from is keraunophobia . . . WOMEN GO along with 38
out of 100 men when those men shop for suits . . . NO
BODY really knows why the knights of old were called

seed is full of thistles”. ‘An enemy has

Let’s ditch those
B 7VI rose-tinted glasses *’
By Ray Cromley
WASHINGTON — (NEA) — A friend from a foreign country *>]
asks why President Ford isn’t telling us just how rough our future ' ’
is going to be.
It is his considered opinion we will have to change our life j
styles drastically and permanently. His belief is echoed by some ( ,
researchers at the National Science Foundation and by a number
of thoughtful economists in and out of the government.
I don’t know how permanent our change in living will have to
be, but one thing is clear: In the next few years, we will be re- (
quired to make more sacrifices than we have been publicly dis- • '
cussing. We are caught simultaneously in four major economic
revolutions, each of which puts a major strain on our living stan
dards. One, we could take in stride, but not four.
First, of course, is the high cost of oil. Top men in the industry • i 1
are certain we are running out of natural gas in the United States
at a rate so rapid that no exploration subsidies can long stem the
tide. The energy strain will be intensified by the multibillion
dollar struggle to achieve independence. •
Second, recent studies indicate the cost of protecting our en
vironment will run into hundreds of billions in the 15 years just
ahead, even assuming we adopt only the most reasonable and
necessary antipollution standards. #
Third, research published the past two months reinforces older
studies which make it clear the projected growth of Social
Security, Medicare and other programs for the aged will prove an
almost impossible financial burden as oldsters increase and the
percentage of workers declines. *
Fourth, add the marked upswing of welfare and special
benefits to one group of the population or another. Whatever one
feels about the worth of these many programs, it is a fact that the
budget of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare is •
now greater even than the mammoth Defense Department, and
growing.
The impact is not only in the size of these programs but in the
rapid growth which i$ leading to economic strains no economist ,
has been able to accurately analyze.
Now money costs in the end are met only through the produc
tion of goods. That is, it is obvious that we must grow and
manufacture more at pace rapid enough to meet the above-listed t
demands on our resources. But the production forecasts are ex
ceedingly gloomy.
The early age of retirement, the growing number of older peo
ple, the accelerated shift of workers from production to service
jobs, the delayed age at which young people move into the labor
market on the average — all these trends mean that fewer and
fewer production workers — percentagewise — are turning out
the goods we need so desperately. Consider these trends in con
junction with the mammoth growth of the spending programs *
listed above, which must be supported by the declining percen
tage of producers, and it becomes easy to understand why some
normally unflappable economists are dreadfully worried about
the future. •
The prospects would be more rosy if productivity were going up
at a hefty pace — so that our dwindling percentage of production
workers would be turning out goods at a pace sufficient to meet
demands. But productivity growth in the United States is moving ,
at a snail’s pace. Capital formation available for increasing the
efficiency of output is at least 25 per cent below that of 1955-1965
in comparable dollars.
This does not add up to a pretty picture. I agree with my friend % ’
that we can prevent a crisis some years down the road only if we
throw away our rose-colored glasses.
