Beware of Kid’s
School Learning
A friend of mine has a 2-
year-old who is so large for his
age he wears a size six polo
shirt.
“Do you think,” she asked
me, “if I put elevator shoes on
him I could get away with
sending him to kindergar
ten?”
She is anxious, naturally, to
rake the living room and put
things back in order while he
reclines, safe in the arms of
the school district.
But I could tell her a thing
or two. They learn things at
school. They bring home new
knowledge they want to share
with you.
Frankly, I’ll take play
dough in my floor furnace
anytime over a 13-year-old
boy home from his first day of
typing class.
“Mom! Where’s your type
writer?” he yelled as he came
in the back door stuffing an
orange, a banana and six
cookies into his mouth an
offering I had left for him on
the bread board.
“Why?” I asked, stalling
A Man’s World?
Consider Women
By AUDREY GELLIS
Copley News Service
Recently, I spoke to a grad
uate class on media studies on
“Sexism and the English Lan
guage." Here are excerpts of
my talk:
Nothing better illustrates
the fact that it’s a man’s
world than the English lan
guage, which is, of course, the

Meet
The Hobbie Hikers met for
their November meeting on
the 13th at the home of one of
our leaders. We went through
the original 4-H Ceremony.
We then discussed going
Christmas caroling to an
invalids’ house. After that we
had our program which was
square dancing. Everyone
participated as to dressing up
in overalls and long skirts,
which added to the fun. After
refreshments, the meeting
was adjourned.

“Lemme show you some

My typewriter is like Mr.
Peeper’s locker: only I under
stand it. I moved across the
kitchen and stood between
him and my typewriter, arms
outstretched.
“Stay away from it,” I
warned, “There’s something
wrong with it.”
He was delighted. “I’ll fix it
for ya,” he said, trying to
dodge around me.
“No you won’t,” I an
swered, fending him off. But
he was too swift for me. My
legs have gone from years in
the stands instead of the field
at Little League games.
“It’s your ribbon,” he said,
snatching it out like a roll of
serpentine. “Na, wait a min

King’s English, even when
there’s a queen. Every posi
tive quality, every historic
event, every achievement and
every generality is phrased in
terms of man, mankind, he
and his.
Consequently, a woman
can’t help thinking what the
language reflects that men
are the half of the human race
which counts. This attitude
begins in childhood and is
completely internalized by
womanhood, because, as ev
ery schoolboy knows, the
child is father to the man.
The schoolgirl studies histo
ry and learns about the cave
man, Paleothic man, primi
tive man, civilized man, the
ages of man, and, finally, that
she is a Western man. Of de
mocracy she learns Martin
Luther’s credo, “Every man
his own king; every man his
own priest.” And that our
forefathers declared, “All
men are created equal.”
As for the space age, it be
gan with “One small step for
man; one giant step for man
kind.” This isn’t so surprising
since it’s always been the man
in the moon anyway.

nize the implicit sexism in the
astronauts’ message and ran

Finally, he slammed the
portable lid down, strolled in
to the living room and sat
down across from me,
hooking one leg over the chair
arm.
“Tell ya what, ma,” he
showed ten carpet patterns.)
Of course, things are tough
right now what with Water
gate, inflation and Cambodia,
these being “... the times that
try men’s souls.” So we have
to be patient, every mother’s
son of us.
Qualities such as courage,
intelligence, integrity are al
ways couched in the mascu
line. If you’re educated and
cultured, you’re a man of let
ters, a gentleman and a schol
ar or a Renaissance Man.
And then there’s the ulti
mate tribute, “You’re a better
man than I am, Gunga Din.”
Sometimes a woman is
credited with manly qualities,
if she’s on the ball, that is.
Action, power and achieve
ment are also put in mascu
line terms. A product is man
made, work represents man
power or man-hours. Our so
ciety is competitive, so it’s ev
ery man for himself and may
the best man win.
A man about town (or man
of the world) is generally en
vied by his fellow men al
though his female equivalent
is a fallen woman.

Quit Smoking to Live
By MARION WELLS
Copley News Service
We call traveler’s diarrhea
“Montezuma’s revenge,” but
perhaps we should give the
name to cigarettes instead.
The old Aztec custom of
smoking “shredded tobacco
rolled within a cornhusk cov
ering” has turned into a cause
of illness and death which one
leading British health official
called “the greatest single
avoidable health menace in
the Western world today.”
If you stop smoking now,
findings indicate that you
may escape becoming the
“victim of habit.” Daniel
Horn, Ph.D., director of the
National Clearinghouse for
Smoking and Health, reports
that the death rates of those
who’ve “banned the butt” for
10 years approach the rates of
nonsmokers.
If you continue to puff your
life away, medical authorities
warn that the price of a pack
may involve much more than
the risk of lung cancer.
Alton Ochsner, M.D.,
Emeritus Professor of Su*
gery at Tulane University
School of Medicine in New Or
leans, Louisiana, writes that
smoking may cause cancers
of the lung, bladder,
esophagus, larynx, lips,
tongue and mouth.
He states that oral cavity
cancers may be caused by
“pipe and cigar smoking and
cine man, iceman, seaman,
doorman, bag man.
I’m not advocating book
burning or censorship, but I
am suggesting that we read
and speak and teach with the
consciousness that history is
her story as well.
even chewing tobacco and
snuff.” One study found pipe
and cigar smoking to be
greater risk factors in mouth
cancer than cigarettes.
According to leading au
thorities, tobacco use is a ma
jor risk factor in cardiovascu
lar disease. Heart and
vasculatory illnesses are this
country’s No. 1 cause of
death. Smoking also may re
portedly make existing dam
age worse. Why?
As you drag on your ciga
rette, the carbon monoxide
level mounts, which means
your blood can’t carry as
much oxygen. At the same
time, the nicotine in tobacco
increases your heart’s need
for oxygen and other neces
sary nutrients. Nicotine also
makes your blood vessels con
strict, which tends to slow
down the flow of blood.
Heart specialist Lawrence
Lamb, M.D., reports that in
many people, giving up smok
ing is soon followed by a drop
in the resting heart rate. If
they start again, the heart
rate goes up.
Lamb states that “a cause
for unexplained persistent
rapid heart rate in otherwise
healthy individuals is often
cigarettes.” A higher resting
heart rate means a weaker,
less efficient heart muscle.
It has been found that
smoking stimulates the

show that 165,000 bicycles

adrenal gland to release cer
tain hormones which affect
heart and circulation and
others which are related to
blood cholesterol levels.
Smoking may, at least tem
porarily, cause a rise in blood
pressure. Both high blood
pressure and high serum cho
lesterol are considered to be
risk factors in cardiovascular
disease.
Have you tried to quit
smoking, but can’t quite seem
to kick the habit? You may
find it helpful to realize why
you smoke. In one published
study, S. S. Tompkins pin
points six major categories of
smokers according to how
they use the habit to deal with
emotional experiences. Can
you identify with one or more
of them?
The first type of smoker
lights up for a pickup, to help
get himself going. The second
type enjoys the sensory ex
perience handling a cigarette
and gazing at the smoke. With
the third type, smoking in
creases enjoyment. With the
fourth, it’s a way of decreas
ing negative emotions. If
you’re like the fifth type,
smoking is an unconscious,
mechanical habit. If you’re
like those in the sixth cate

gory, you're psychologically
addicted and actually crave a
smoke. You tend to want one
cigarette after another.
Is it best to quit cold turkey
or taper off gradually? This
really depends on you, unless
you’re psychologically ad

probably do best to stop once
