It moment to plate a Want Ad JANUARY 19, takes but a Brussels post 1975 Li (By W.G.Strong) An American psychiatrist recently stated that the deepest problems of people today are loneliness and isolation. To feel completely alone and isolated leads to mental disintegration and eventual senility just as physical starvation leads to deterioration and ultimate death. Most of us have had some experience of the pangs of loneliness. This fear drives many down strange avenues, anywhere to escape the haunting pain of aloneness. Fortunately our twentieth century has made available a multitude of outlets and facilities through which we can dispel man y of our moods of isolation. Radio and television are our modern constant companions, Movies and theatres provide amusement and entertainment. Clubs and organizations have widened our social opportunities. Automobiles bring us together more rapidly and more frequently. Yet all these outlets do not constitute antidotes for loneliness. In spite of these conveniences, man is still plagued with a feeling of isolation in his advancing and declining years. The human being was never created to play the role of a self-imposed hermit. Leisure has been defined as the time when you can do what you please. You have time available for certain activities, time away from work, time relatively free from compulsion. Leisure should spell out contentment, happiness, an absence of conflict and anguish, a time for one to be his real self. Today, leisure has spread its influence over the whole population and our senior citizens must share in this modern sociological development. Many-Sided Reading constitutes the greatest leisure- time diversion for most persons. It is a many-sided delight, an intense, instructive, joyful, soul-satisfying pleasure. It is the sole , means of , communication with the great minds of the past and of the present. Burns read at his meals and is said to have carried his books into the field behind the plough. Fr ankling was apprenticed to his brother, a printer, and benefitted therefrom. Lincoln read by the firelight in the log cabin, often to the distress of his parents. This list could be enlarged at length to prove that intelligent curiosity, that essential of human greatness, finds its growth in books and will not be denied. Some read for the pure pleasure derived from the printed" page while, for others, reading opens the mind to the full possibilities of human achievement and human understanding as nothing else can. It is not to be suggested that such modern means of expression as films and television are without value. They have their use and their place. Radio and television take us on amazing excursions in knowledge and imagination but the spoken word and the picture program lack the essence of the printed sheet. Sound and scene are essential mainly for the moment. These daily streams of sound and sight flicker to their close when the button is turned or pushed. The printed word, however, does not vanish as it passes but stimulates our minds by a rich profusion of information as wide as life itself. Properly used, the above media should not interfere with reading but, on the other hand, should (Continued from Page 1) $1000.00. There were no injuries. On Saturdays January 25, Jeffrey B.

Though television may have a more immediate impact than words on the printed page it does not offer the intimacy, the scope and the sense of participation that the reader finds in good books. The reader experiences an immediate sense of pleasure as he or she delves into the knowledge and ideas which books and magazines offer or marvels at the pictures and paintings that take him or her to many exciting worlds he never knew before. Enjoyment. Newspapers and magazines provide additional enjoyment for people at all ages. The columns of the newspaper, whether daily or weekly, present events and happenings in more ample form than the clipped confines ' of a newscast. Newspapers do more than report events. They have a greater capacity than radio or television to set events in clear and proper perspective, to illuminate them by the judgment of authorities informed in particular fields and to supplement superficial facts with knowledge distilled from competent study. Newspapers invest the news with larger dimensions of meaning. The newspaper brings so much besides news by stimulating our minds with the rich profusion of information in a range as wide as diversified as life itself. The printed word does not vanish as do the scraps of memory from yesterday's broadcast. The printed word should never be superseded by the electronic voice or the animated screen. Reading should never be displaced by listening and watching. Magazines help us to talk knowingly and interestingly on a whole range of thrilling subjects that make yesterday's and today's world so exciting for us all. They present instant, authoritative and authentic information on almost every conceivable subject, topic, study or field of human thought. They provide constant companionship with hundreds of the world's great minds. They help us to discuss many subjects that bear on the daily life of happy, successful men and women. When you brouse through them it is like taking an armchair trip around the world. You become a Marco Polo who sees the world from his own living-room. One may explore the most picturesque spots on earth and make pictorial visits to world landmarks of breathtaking beauty. You may view art treasures in famous museums. You may look in wonder at the hundreds of photographs brought to you in gorgeous full colour. You can stand beside miners a mile below the earth's crust, share the intense drama of the test pilot as he shatters the sound barrier or walk with the astronaut on the moon's dusty, cold surface. Current magazines bring a wealth of relaxation and enjoyment into countless homes. "Around the globe I have not travelled much But in my mind what places I have seen! I stay at home and still I journey far With good companions though I am alone, Down toads found nowhere save in dreams. I am a wanderer in Wondershire."
