The Brussels Post, 1960-07-07, Page 2A bachelor, whose landlady was supposed to mend his clothes, grew tired of finding his pyjamas always without buttons. In despair he pierced the lid of a cocoa tin and sewed it to his pyjama jacket as a hint. When the jacket was returned, he found the lid still there, and opposite a buttonhole of equal size.

Bet amen; the "unwant- ed'.' side effects, Kline. noted, was the anderkiable feeling .uf happine5s. That was In 1957. For the last three years, Kline has had. hun- drede of his depressed, with- drawn, and psychotic patients at. Rockland on iproniazid and re- lated druge, pulling them out their sullen shells with no till effects. Unlike the ampheta- mine "pep pills" (Benzedrine .and Dexedrine; for example), ipreniazid, did not have to be taken in ever-increasing doaee to be effective. Nor were there an signs of dependency or crav- ing. Kline also began treating his mildly depressed private pa- tients with the drug — but. not before he had tried it on him- elf. In the course of the .seta- experim.entation, he noted its sleep-saving qualities. "I felt absolutely fine during the whole time," Kline said. "Ifettally, I slept sometime be- tween 4 and 7 a.m., and woke up feeling fine. No alarm clock was needed, die w does the drug work? Kline arisr,vered with an expres- sive shrug, "No. one really knows. We only have soma taearie5 to try to account for what we see. With the energizers we think the drug serves as an amine oxidase inhibitor — that, ia, it apparently retards the breakdown of the adrenalin that the body manufactures to deal with stress. Longer-lasting adre- nalin may account .for the surge of energy." But doesn't the body need test? Doesn't the brain have to shut down operations for awhile each night? Kline snorted: "1 suet: can't believe that God. made the. human machine so ineffi- cient that it has to shut down or be recharged one-third of its life span. One might ask, for that matter, why sleep is neces- sary at all since no one has conclusively demonstrated a bio- chemical or physiological. ex- planation for it.:"—I`torn NEWS- WEEK. rnlrk.ct minY, Met'ad - •rirr, rearealasterers lsst fa:: .intro-• a new predstet re4led -Met- re.ea! ,'for metered calories; en Last rnth it wa!; that Metreeal, p lea now pr5rnr.if,04 a entre:yby word of e r;orr. e the hr,t.keel sinse blackstrap ''P eople who norrnal:v bUy: thirop one at a time — like cone be of toothpaste or one cake of soap — come in here and Or- ' a case of :Metressai," said one Chicago druggi5!.

Life In Hawaii In The Early Days a When the Thetis sa iled, Abner and Jerusha, feeling dismally alone, had an opportunity to in- spect the house in v,rhich their labours for the next years would be conducted. Its corner posts were stout trees from, the moun- tains,, but its sides and roof were of tied grass. The floor was peb- bled and covered with pandanus, to be swept by a broom of rushes, but its windows were mere openings across which cloth from •China had been hung. It•was a squat, formless grass hut with no divisions into rooms. It had no bed, no chairs, no table, no closets, but it did have two considerable assets: at the rear, under a twisting hau, tree, it had a spacious lanai ma de- tached porch — where th'e life ol the mission would he con- ducted; and it had a front door built in the Dutch fashion so that the bottom half could, remain closed, keeping people out, while the top was open, allowing their smiles and their words to enter. It was into this house that Abner moved the furniture he had brought out from. New Eng- land: a rickety bed with rope netting for its mattress; rusted trunks to serve as closets; a small kitchen table and two chairs and a rocker. Whatever clothes they might require in years to come they would get only through the char- ity of Christians in New Eng- land, who would forward bar- rels of cast-off garments to the mission center in Honolulu, and if Jerusha needed a new dress to replace her old one, some 'friend in Honolulu would pick through the leftovers and say, "This one ought to fit Sister Jer- usha," but it never did. If Abner required a hew saw with which to build even the minor decencies of living, he had to hope that some Christian somewhere would send him one. If Jerusha needed a cradle for her babies, she could get it only from charity. The Hales had no money, no income, no support other than the communal deposi- tory in Honolulu. s Sometimes Jerusha, recalling either, her cool, clean home in Walpole., its closets filled with dresses kept starched by ser- vants, or the two homes that Captain Rafe'. Hoxworth had Promised her in Slew' Bedford and aboard his ship, understand- ably felt distressed by the grass hut in which she toiled, but she never allowed her feelings to be discovered by 'her husband and her letters home Were uniformly cheerful. V/hen the days were hottest and her work the hard- est she would wait until eve- ning and 'then write to her mo- ther, et to Charity or Mercy, telling them of her alluring ad- ventures, but with them, even though they were of her own family, she dealt only in super- ficialities. — From i'llaWair by James A. Michener, the IitUVi dAittrU1,1,V The yiitt SAVO may he your own, Do you read your local news- paper? I mean really read it — not just glance over it casually? And if, and when, you read it do you have any appreciation or understanding of the terrific amount of work that goes into each and every issue? Do you ever contact the editor of your local newspaper, by letter or telephone, and tell him what you think of his paper? Of course he likes to know if it pleases you but criticism, if kindly done, can also be helpful. It is quite an undertaking to bring out a paper to satisfy everyone. In fact it just can't be done, The best that can he hoped for is that the ma- jority of readers will be satisfied. It just so happens that I see about six different local papers each week so today I was look- ing over them objectively — trying to decide what I like'd and didn't like, One sixteen-page paper covers local news in the district where we lived until 3 years ago. So what do I look for? First I read over the births, mar- riages, deaths, engagements, per- sonal column and coming events. Thus I keep track of people that I know, Then I turn to the front page, read every word of local government news at the town and county level. All about local zoning squabbles and proposed shopping centres. Any other lo- cal news gets prompt attention, also editorials. (I think every paper should have editorials, Who has a better opportunity than a home-town editor to eval- uate home and district prob- lems?) ' The paper to which I am refer- ring has about four pages de- voted to local sporting' activities. I don't read a word Of it but I suppose it is of interest to sports- minded young people. Then are special, columns, one of which appears in a number of "weeklies!" Personally I wouldn't waste time setting up type to print it. To my way of think- ing it is vulgar, ridiculous and in very poor taste. But then some people must like it or it wouldn't be printed. In feet I have heard one or two• people say they like it. Oh, well .

When selecting mono- grammed handkerchiefs for a man or woman, which initial should be selected, that of the first or the last name? A. Fora man it is always the last. For a woman, the last is customary, although the' first is permissible. Q. When a host does the carv- ing at the dinner table, does he serve the vegetables as well? A. No; usually the host serves only the meat. The vegetable dishes are pasted from hand to hand. Q. I have had several dates with a certain young man, and I think quite a lot of him. His birthday is approaching, and I'm wondering if it would be proper for me to give him a gift? A. Properly, you should give this young man a gift only if you are engeged to him, Other- wise, a suitable card is the proper remembrance — or, per- haps, an invitation to dinner in your home in honor of his birth- day. Q. Is it proper to ask the guest- of-honor at our dinner table to say grace before the meal? A, Only if your guest is a clergyman. Otherwise, grace should he spoken by the host, or. in his absence, by the hostess. Q. Must the number of ushers at a wedding correspond with the number of bridesmaids? A. Not necessarily. The num- ber of ushers depends upon the size of the church and number of guests invited -- and, in fact, there often may be ushers at a wedding when there aren't any bridesmaids at all. Q. When someone whom you have just met says, "1 am very glad to have met you," isn't a smile in acknowledgment suffi- cient? A. I think this would have a condescending air about it. It is much better to accompany that smile with a pleasant "Thank you."

Then, of course, there are write-ups of local events — of church groups and social organi- zations in and around the dist- rict. I read them all. Another paper that comes to our home we buy entirely be- cause it runs a column covering history of the township where it it published, I find it most in- teresting, Many papers also carry highlights of 50, 30 and 20 years ago. Always interesting to older subscribers. A comparatively new paper we like very much covers news in the district in which we now live. Instead of giving township council news in detail it sum- marizes and explains what takes place at all the meetings. It makes for much easier reading than wading through all the min- utes and reports brought up in council. The paper is well ar- ranged and well printed . . and the editor is a woman! Naturally all small - town papers carry local advertising --- and that is something nobody wants to miss. All the bargains are not in shopping centres and department stores. You can often do very well at home. Then, of course, there is the paper in which this column ap- pears.
