"On Dinah Shore's TV show sometime back, director Josh Logan told how years age he helped Mary Martin over come her fear of failure by reciting a short poem to her just before the opening of a new show in London. What was the poem?" A. Four lines from William Blake: "He who doubts from what he sees . .. Will ne'er believe, do what you please ... If the sun and moon should doubt. .. They'd immediately go out." In our Love and War Man's voluminous file on the differences between men and women is the observation by Theodor Reik: "I've never seen a man turn around and scrutinize his back. Yet women are quite preoccupied with this area, wondering if their skirt is mussed or their stockings wrinkled." MUSICAL TRICK Symphonic musicians, too, play tricks. If they want to, they can knock their conductor right off his podium, either forwards or backwards, without actually touching him. And they've done it to just about every big-name orchestra leader in the world. Here's how: The score calls for crescendo. The music builds towards the climax. The maestro, utterly concen trated, signals the terrific downbeat. It's met with absolute silence. By plan, the humorous musicians froze. And there goes the conductor, zap, flat on his face. If they want him to fall backwards, they do their nothing thing on an upbeat. Address mall to L. M. Boyd, P. O. Box 681, Weatherford, TX 76086 Copyright 1977 L. M.

Governor Busbee and his legislative leaders are proposing passage of a “sunset” law. It would require various departments and programs to establish their continued need else get no money. Until now, once a government program got underway it has been well nigh im possible to stop it. We recall, for instance, continuance through the years of the Confederate Pensions Department long after the death of all but one or two Con- Social security beneficiaries have received “an important message” for those who plan to work in 1977. It tells them that starting January 1, they can earn up to $3,000 a year and still get all their Social Security payments. For all the money they earn above that, a dollar in benefits may be withheld for every two dollars earned. This is an improvement over last year The election of a Georgian to high office has brought attention to grits as well as to peanuts. Grits is (or are?) a hot cereal made from ( ground hominy which consists of hard com kernels that have been hulled, washed, and dried. Now we did not know that, did you? Okay then, here is more about it: Hominy is derived from an Algonquin Indian word which roughly means com that has to be skinned. The Marquis de LaFayette tried grits in Why did Judas betray Jesus? DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Was Judas Iscariot used as God’s pawn to bring about the crucifixion?—P.F.G. DEAR P. F. G.: The reason why Judas betrayed Jesus is stated in Luke 22:3, “Then entered Satan unto Judas sumamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.” It was the work of Satan in the life of Judas that was responsible for the act of betrayal, combined, of course, with the willingness of Judas to respond to Satan’s urging. It is true that the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for the sin of the world was or dained by God and foretold by the Old Testament prophets. It is also true that God had complete knowledge of how the death of His Son would come about, and who, humanly speaking, would be Let it set! ’Taint fair! Grits federate veterans and just a few of their widows. Finally it was absorbed into the Department of Veterans Service. A “sunset” law ought to be good for everybody concerned. The program or department would get a chance to show its desirability, the Legislature to review thoroughly its work, and if it is needed no longer, the public to save whatever money it costs. Hope the Legislature will give it a chance. when the maximum was $2,760, and there continues to be no maximum for beneficiaries 72 years old or over. But for the life of us, any maximum at all seems unfair. Social Security beneficiaries and the people who hired them have paid over the years for their retirement and other benefits. The em ploye pays half and his boss has to match it. So why can’t a retired person make as much as he can without being penalized? 1824 and said it was one of the things he liked best about the South. President Grant is said to have been the first to take it to the White House. And Americans ate 140-million pounds of it in 1975. Having eaten it all these years, few if any of us really know whether the word is singular or plural. Nobody we know ever spoke of a “grit”, but maybe that is because it would be so difficult to separate a single unit from the mass of it. However that may be, hail to grits! Hope they enjoy it in Washington, D.C. igtoto MY [HB ANSWER responsible for that death. But this preordained plan and this foreknowledge was not responsible for the decision of Judas to be the betrayer. It in no way impinged on the free will that Judas had and which he exercised in the moment of betrayal. The Bible teaches twin doctrines that go hand in hand with each other. One is that of predestination — that God has planned in advance all things that will happen in the world. The other is that of man’s free will — that God’s gift to man makes him totally responsible for his own decisions. Jesus put these two doctrines together when He said: “The Son of Man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been bom” (Matthew 26:24). Berry’s World I n ’ I I \f / J ©l976t>yNEA,lnc “ 'Gentlemen,' I said, ‘We’re going to stick with our line of slide rules. These electronic pocket calculators are just a fad . . HRay Cromley Mondale won’t be sticking his neck out By Ray Cromley WASHINGTON - (NEA) - It may well be that President elect Jimmy Carter has found the ideal spot for Walter Mon dale: the inner sanctum of the White House By all the evidence, the new vice president is an “inside” man. He likes working behind the scenes where the levers are, in a post which guarantees him personal credit and publicity when he desires it, but free of public knock-down fights over policy. As “chief staff person,” Mondale will be able to shuttle tough problems gracefully to others, and wait to determine which issues are popular before going out on a limb with his stamp of approval. And he will have the forceful President Carter as his shield so long as he keeps one step to the side and one to the rear of him. This Mondale does to Mr. Carter's satisfaction. The president-elect has made it clear, publicly and privately, that he considers Mondale as no rival — and no threat — which he most certainly is not. Mondale will take pains to alienate no one in the White House or in the Congress. He will come forward at 1600 Penn sylvania Avenue, as he did on Capitol Hill, as the sponsor, publicly giving the credit to Mr. and Mrs. Carter on the motherhood issues no one can fault — hunger, concern for children, the handicapped, the poor and the unemployed — but steering clear of the rough economic measures which any president must stab at solving, and which create opposition Mr. Carter, it is now clear, will face a considerable number of these no-win issues in the four years of his first administra tion. Overall, Mondale, insofar as Mr. Carter pays him heed, will add a strain of caution to the Carter White House. He will be a conciliator, a smoother of conflicts between staff members, and between the White House and selected senators and con gressmen. Mr. Carter here will be able to take advantage of the base Mondale has been slowly and carefully building on the Hill. Mondale will be especially valuable in dealing with that group of ambitious young men who will be quick to revolt against any presidential steps which they see as threatening their pet projects or the web of power they’re slowly building for themselves. Mondale is a superb technician, an expert at guiding long shot legislation further along the road than most expert observers have been willing to predict in advance. If he can pass this expertise along to members of the Carter White House staff when Carter-backed legislation is in the works, Mondale will prove an important asset in the Carter reformation-reorganization campaign. Based on past performance, Mondale will use the vice presidency and his White House staff role as a vehicle for securing as much publicity for himself as Mr. Carter will tolerate gracefully. For it is clear, thus far at least, that Mon dale, who is not yet over the hill in years, is thinking about the presidency in 1984, as he did in 1976 — but only, it’s un derstood, if he can get the nomination without the rough primaries and tough campaigning typical of the contests Mr. Carter went through to achieve that goal. This means Mr. Carter may not be able to count on Mondale to take the public lead in the kind of all-out fighting the new president has promised if it’s necessary to get the bills he wants through a reluctant Senate and House of Represen tatives. Mr. Carter may have to go over the heads of balky congressmen to the people.
