JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: People tell me I'm too serious. When they say, "Why don't you laugh once in a while?" it gets to me. What's in my writing? - F.S. Dear F.S.: When a person breaks into a laugh, he also makes a break with heart- aches, hurts and resent- ments. When I see the strokes of humor in handwriting, I get happy all over. Unfortunately, you are a constantly pressured per- son. You are tight with ten- sion and your resistance is strong. You've been a victim of imposition too often or too much in your life and your guards are up to keep it from happening again, seen in the stiff beginning upstrokes on your letters. Your communication lines are closed, seen in the evaluation of the tightly squeezed o's and a's, and you've come to trust very few in your life, seen m the ,0 National Museums Muses natronaux of Canada du Canada Canada &IRGIZI NG Magnitude is a term used to indicate the brightness of an astronomical ob- ject the larger the numerical magni- tude. the fainter the object Negative numbers denote the brightest ob- jects A difference of 1 on the magnitude scale Indicates a dif- ference of about 2.5 times ih apparent brightness A star rated 5 magnitudes brighter than another is 100 times brighter Our bnghtest star is Sinus. magnitude 1 47. while 6th magni- tude stars are the faintest visibte to the naked eye when conditions are Ideal Other than the sun and the moon. the brightest objects are often planets The bnghtness of a planet may vary considerably depending on where It 15 in as orbit in relation to the earth and the sun Slight variability in the brightness of a star is Indicated by a v following its average magnitude The map shows the evening sky at about 10 p m in mid-June when Venus by far the bnghtest star -like object dominates the west The mag- nitude of Venus Is now a brilliant 3 9 A month ago Venus measured 3 7 on the magnitude scale and will reach 4 2 in July Although tech- nically at Its greatest brilliancy It will not necessarily be easier to see far It Wit be moving closer to the sun and by late July wit be lost in a glare of ;unnght J(ipiter ihe'next brightest object - its magnitude is now 2 t -- rises in the JUNE east at sunset A few hours later when Venus has set In the northwest.

So many of the anxieties with which you are burden- ing yourself now have an origin in your past. Bring them out in the open and see them in their proper perspective. Likely you'll find that there's littlerea- son for them now. Learn to laugh at your- self. Try to see a flicker of fun in your own life's situa- tions. Right now, you're caught within the confines of that small lower loop and, be- lieve me, when you're caught there, you're trapped. So in order to keep your ego equilibrium, you try to "save face" by being rigid and tense. But no face can ever be saved until it learns to relax in a laugh. Backgammon By Ward This position illustrates two common types of mis- takes. X is playing what.is_ known as a " holding game." This means that X is trying to hold or prevent O's men from coming home safely. Far behind in the race, X must hit in order to have any chance of winning. That is why X should not move his back man up to the 18 -point. Vacating O's home board in this manner makes it much easier for 0 to play safely because 0 can leave blots in his home board with impunity. But if X stays on the 24 -point, X gets a shot whenever 0 leaves a blot in his home board. Another common, though less serious mistake is for X to make the 2 -point with 8/2, 6/2- X certainly wants to strengthen his blockade, but the proper way to do it is to make points in order A continuous string of points is much stronger than the same number of points with a hole in it. If X makes the 2 -point, his blockade has a hole at the 3 -point- Furthermore, X will find it difficult to make the 3 -point because his available builders are used up in making the 2 - point. This means that if X eventually hits, sending an O man back, O's back man is much more likely to es- cape X's home board The best play is 13/7, 13/9. This brings two new builders into position to make the 3 -point or the 7 - point, both of which add a fourth continuous point. After making the fourth point, X will also have builders available to make a fifth point X should recognize that not only is 0 unlikely to leave a shot right away, but that hitting isn't all that effective because of X's weak blockade. But as 0 runs out of spare men to play in the next few turns, a shot becomes more like- ly. If X plans ahead and pa- tiently builds his blockade properly, then hitting a shot a few tures from now should win the game. Points are numbered 1 to 24, starting with X's home board at the lower left. A move, for example, from the 7 -point to the 3 - point is written 7/3. 7/3• means that a man was hit on the 3 -point. 7/3(2) means that two men were moved to the 3ppoiat. 2423 22 113011/ 11111711118644111 1 a 8464 134103151 I 8144-4 Shirley Whittingt priI in Paris (Fran Two weeks ago in a Paris park, the quintessential Frenchman stood within shooting distance of me, but I didn't even bother to take my camera out of its case. I didn't have to. In his beret, ascot, striped jersey and tight trousers, he conformed so closely to my mental stereotype of how a French- man should look, that there was no need to record the image on film. I had seen him hundreds of times be- fore - in Renoir's Boating Party, in old Gene Kelly movies, and in my imagina- tion. Carefully hoarded stereo- types continued to surface throughout that trip to Paris. The stylish Parisienne is no myth. She exists, perfectly groomed, vivacious, and ex- quisitely fragrant. Two images persist. One is of a slender silver -haired lady, perfectly tailored in pewter suede, with one perfect rose on her lapel. The other image is of a younger Parisi- enne, wearing calf length jeans, flat red shoes, a bright windbreaker and hair inter - braided with feathers and ribbons. Paris is a city ' of style all right. The French appear to dote upon their dogs and none is more lovingly leashed and led about than the French poodle. Coifed, clipped, scented, the poodles go everywhere with their owners - in taxis, on the Metro, into restaurants and bars. And if the trottoir is too tough for the tiny feet, the dogs are tenderly lifted and carried. Food? The. French revere it. Their bread is a song, their Brie a poem and their wines lyrical. The most unpretentious cafe serves superb pate, heavenly ome- lette and magnificent coffee. Many stereotypes then, were upheld, but others were shattered. Parisians have a reputation for supercilious rudeness, for barely tolerat- ing the hordes of tourists who trample their Tuileries. Yet, I was frequently rescued from near -disaster by con- cerned Parisians. One man literally plucked me from the hands of a horde of Gypsy pickpockets. Another grabbed me by the elbow and hustled me safely through the terrifying traffic on the Champs Elysees . Others patiently gave directions, explained railway time- tables, interpreted menus and found me hotel rooms. How do we look to them? Canada seems to be viewed as a frontier country, pic- turesque, romantic, and savage. Most Parisians seem to think that all Cana- dians are francophones. Several times when I asked for something in my lumber- ing Diefen-french, a Parisian eyebrow would rise. "Vous etes Anglais, Madame?" No, I'd explain. I'm Cana- dian. "Quoi?" "Canadian. From Can- ada." "But," came the puzzled reply, "you speak English?" A poster on a kiosk on the fashionable Rue de Fau- bourg St Honore advertised and evening of audio-visual reportage on Quebec and Ontario. Montreal and Que- bec were billed as "the little bit of Europe that fascinates Americans." Also high- lighted was the Canadian habit of playing bingo in parish halls, and of convert- ing old churches to discos. (There was a puzzling reference to St. Germain and the invention of "la machine a voler." Readers who can shed light on this are invited to enlighten me.) dsaarf�- 1 Also listed were James Bay, and Mirabel ("where one awaits the supersonic jets") and Toronto, the home of the science centre and the tallest tower in the world. Finally, there was refer- ence to Alliston, Ontario, a pleasant community not far from where 1 sit at the mo- ment. Alliston is billed, in the City of Light, as the home of "le contours de bras de fer et la fete de patate." For a second, on that rainy afternoon in Paris, I read about an arm -wrestling match and a potato festival and I felt a small stab of stereotypical Canadian-ness.
