A poor dog with no tag
Shawnee—as well as Oklahoma—BPW members are
active on so many projects they must have trouble them-
selves keeping up with what's going on but a most recent
project of theirs deserves commendation
"Tag-a-voter" is the theme of this project The plan is
to "tag" voters on election day November 8 with a red white
and blue lag which reads "I will vote today the Freedom
Way" and ask them to wear the tag as they go about their
occupational duties as a reminder of the pride and belief in
the ballot box as the method of selecting the nation's leaders
It is hoped of cour8e that the tags will attract the
attention of persons who have not voted and cause many to
go to the polls to exercise their duties of citizenship
Across the state 94 BPW clubs will be participating in
this project When you are asked to wear a tag do it gladly
proudly
Your reminder might make another vote—and boost the
democratic process by one more notch
A he-man's plank
The News-Star wishes to commend Vice President
Richard Nixon for the staunch and forthright stand he has
taken on an issue that makes sense to he-men everyWhere
And it takes real courage to take such a stand we know but
this is the kind of courage that he will need in standing up
to Nikita Khrushchev on many occasions if he is to become
the next president So we feel that our Richard is really the
Lion-hearted as he shows this particular woof and warp of
bravery
Oh yes the issue:
Mr Nixon has said that he would do away altogether
with the tail coat that highly formal and highly formidable
piece of male fancy dress
Think what opposition this has made him with the tail
coat manufacturers Think how the capital's social-minded
wives must grind their teeth in rage to hear such heretical
words from one who might get to be the king-pin of the social
set This is a plank that tests the marrow of a man's bones
and no mistake
The tail coat is the most non-wearable item of attire
that man has yet invented unless it be the satin pantaloons
of the French court in bygone days One can't wear it to
church on Sundays nor to funerals nor to a Democratic
barbecue affair in the public park One couldn't wear the
forked coat to a football game because the folks in the next
row back would spill soda pop or worse over it and then walk
on the mess About the only place it might be practical would
be while riding a horse or a bicycle but who wants to ride a
horse or a bicycle today when the compacts are so convenient
to whiz around in And a forked tail coat in a compact would
most surely get mixed up with the foot feeds if a compact
really needs to be fed anything Don't the ads insinuate they
run on nothing?
Good old Ike did away with the top hat and brought the
homburg into real masculine glory Richard could well
eliminate the monkey coat and instead bring back the Nor-
folk jacket which has so many more useful aspects On this
forked tall platform alone Dick should get the vote of all
he-men on November 8 And he-men are the ones who can
Influence the she-women's votes too

Memories of youth

By HAL BOYLE
VEW YORK UP)—The teen-ager who often
Al occupies the spotlight of our time is
sometimes homesick for arrival to where he
hasn't been
The amount of fun that life and time
measure out to each generation probably
comes pretty close to being equal People will
not be denied
The middle-aged person will not be denied
either—the road to his usual renown is his
memory
Here are some of the things that those
ever-young folk beyond the 'teens—thce gay
thoughtful exuberant people between 20 and
surrender—might miss if they are young or
old enough to do so:
Oranges that came one at a time
Popcorn without aluminum
Helen Hayes without politics but never
without talent
Charles Coburn down to his first monocle
and with no objection to the income tax (how
can a fellow be against what he doesn't know)
There were three primary colors which
everybody knew and only an artist could
describe both beige and taupe (Can you ton-
est's tell beige from taupe?)
Dorothy Parker as a wit without apology
or explanation
The depression when men grew a beard
because they lacked both a job and a razor
blade Beatniks by necessity for a si
The ability to rent by choice because there
were more empty apartments than empty
people
The sound of Rudy Vallee who always sang
as if there was a sinus in his nose—and per
hap s your ear
The sound of Bing Crosb: who echoed the
dreams of a generation he didn't inherit
Musical comedies in which Sigmund Freud
was not a silent lyricist
Novels in which he was
Fatty Arbuckle before he found time is the
most serious of calories and the one most
likely to make a fellow overweight
Mah-jongg played with a sense of sedulous
newness
William S Hart the Shakespearean actor
dying as the leading cowboy performer of his
day
Two-hour political speeches by candidates
on national issues such as the tariff (A 120-
minute commercial uninterrupted by a pro-
gram or a station break)
Women wondering If they smoked a ciga-
rette in public someone might think them too
bold
Long underwear—the poor man's thermo-
stat in winter
That great gap in American cultural his-
tory between the curls and dimples of Mary
Pickford and the dimples and curls of Shirley
Temple
Clark Gable was young Jean Harlow was
a living flame Wayne King crowned the waltz
Sophie Tucker sighed for real Joan Crawford
was queen of the Charleston Scott Fitzgerald
had pocket money while he wondered about
wealth and Ernest Hemingway was sweating
in Paris and hadn't shot a lion in Africa or
seen a revolution or a bullfight in Spain and
Gertrude Stein had never immortally observed
that "A rose is a rose is a rose" a horticultural
insight that has never been successfully re-
futed These are some of the odd memories that
spring without discipline to one middle-aged
mind There are so many many more
But what will the teen-ager of today re-
member of his present world a quarter cen-
tury from now? What of what we reelly are
as of this moment will endure for tomorrow's
folklore?

I listened to the experts rave when
came the football season I heard them
make predictions brave and give their
every reason I watched them make their
weekly picks of winners 'cross the nation
I smiled and thought that just for kicks
I'd join the congregation I bought myself
some parlay cards which showed the
teams contesting studied tackles ends
and guards in whom I was investing I
found my list of games contained some
schools I never heard of how much they
weighed how mach they gained I read
most every word tit I thus obtained my ex-
pert view and posed all my money
the office gang I wagered too I thought
their picks were funny But now no parlay
cards I buy no office pot I covet I
give the game a fishy eye for I no longer
love it I found I wasn't very wise I sel-
dom picked a winner I only won the booby
prize who'd like to buy my dinner?

ASIIINGTON—For perhaps the first time in American political
- W
history and only 40 years since they were given the right to vote
the women of the United States may decide the outcome of next
month's presidential election Both parties are striving to attract their
support as never before
The "women's vote" is admittedly a mystery according to spokes-
men for the Republicans and the Democrats They are supposed to
vote along with their husbands but that is not true they have become
snore independent of material and political ties in the last generation
It is generally agreed among pro-
fessional politicos that there is no Then there should not be neg-
feminine bloc of voters lected politically the fact that
Several polls indicated that a
majority of women voters in 1952
and 1956 cast their ballots for
President Eisenhower His so-
called "father image" apparently
appealed to them The polished
and sophisticated Adlai E Steven-
son was not their kind of man
According to these 1952 and
1956 checks President Eisenhow-
er got 53 per cent of the feminine
vote as against 47 per cent for his
Democratic opponent Although
it is a delicate matter and every-
thing is delicate in politics Stev-
enson's divorce apparently hurt
him with the women

Images
In contraA to tr‘e Eisenhower
appeal to the women who ap-
peared to win them because of his
"father image" and his heroism
as commanier of the Allied forces
in World War II the 40-year-old
1960 candidates present a sort of
son-husband-brother image Few
voters men or women would
view Vice PreFident Nixon or
Senator Kennedy as a father
However President Eisenhow-
er's supposed "nonpolitical trip"
was designed to hold the women's
vote for the vice president Along
the same line there have been
unusual appearances and photo-
graphs of Mamie Eisenhower at
festive affairs which were as po-
litical as they were social
fly RAY ITTKER
Then there should not be neg-
lected politically the fact that
Per le Mesta Harry S Truman's
ambassador to Luxembourg has
come out for Nixon
Although Per le who does not
rank as "the mostest" with many
Washingtonians among whom I
include myself after having lived
here for 36 years (20 more than
Per le) she is an important politi-
cal influence Her declaration may
mean votes for Nixon
Ladies may elect Jack
However it appearsthat Pres-
ident Eisenhower cannot transfer
his immense vote-getting popu-
larity with the ladies to Vice

It doesn't matter to North
whether his partner is playing a
15-17 or a 15-18 or a 16-18 no-
trump He has 22 points including
all sour jacks and four kings and
in order to hold as many as 15
points South must have three aces
and two queens So North raises
to the grand slam and sits back
happily
South isn't quite so happy
when he sees the dummy He can
only count to 12 top tricks and
notes that he has a two - way
finesse for the queen of hearts for
his grand slam
In such a situation South can
try a straight guess but if he is
a good player he will improve his
chances by performing a feat
known as "Counting the hand"
He obtains his count by run-
ning off at the 10 tricks in the
other suits and this particular
time he winds up with an abso-
lute sure thing
It just happens that East shows
up with only one club and only
two spades
Hence he must have started
with exactly 10 red cards
Then West proceeds to follow
to three diamond leads so that
East could not have started with
more than four diamonds Hence
East was dealt at least six hearts
and West could not hold more
than one
South plays a heart to dummy's
king and when West follows to
that lead he has played his one
and only heart South finesses
against East's queer just as sure-
ly as if he were looking right in
his hand

Crane confesses
a painful error
For 20 years I have winced uncomfort-
ably every time I recall Lucy and her
question during a forum following my Town
Ball address in Milwaukee Scrapbook this
ease for it will be a boon to Sunday School
teacher se well as parents and salesmen
For It outlines the "Pause and Praise" sup-
plemented by Christ's "Reversible Why"
strategy
BY GEORGE V CRANE PhD !tilt
VASE 6-418: Lucy D aged la was a shy
girl who sat in the crowd when I ad-
dressed a Town Hall audience at Milwaukee
some years ago
I had delivered a rapid fire dynamic ad-
dress for an hour and a half after which I
was asked to con-
duct a "question
and answer" forum ---
for half an hour
longer
Lucy timidly ----
—
arose to ask for
advice on “g oing ' '2111
steady"
4P I TOM —
Since I have pre- Illt)
viously heard most Ip
of the questions
people will raise ettO 11
during such forums 11
her query was not
new So I briefly (hi
Rave her the psy-
chol gic al reply
that covered her query
But I forgot to "Pause and Pialse"
Lucy flushed at the readiness of my an-
swer for she doubtless felt her query was
profound enough to have merited a wrinkling
of my brow and a slow deliberate reply
And so it should If I had practiced what
I preach on this score I would have done
exactly what I recommended to that insur-
ance salesman mentioned yesterday
Although I felt like biting my tongue off
the instant I realized my error it was then
too late to do anything about it
To this day I wince when I recall the
embarrassed look on Lucy's shy face
For when she had finally worked up
enough courage to rise in a vast audience and
orally put such a question I should have taken
time to protect her ego
'That is a very good quetion" I should
have answered 'In fact I think everybody
in this large auditorium should hear it so
do you mind repeating your query?"
That would have reassured her that she
wasn't asking an ultra simple question
Then after her repetition I should have
slowly made my reply
Because I had received the same query so
many times throughout the years and was
tired from a two-hour session in front of that
great crowd I missed my cue So I quickly
'mowed her down" as the insurance salesman
in yesterday's case record had originally
mowed down his prospect with his neat reply
As a result Lucy felt somewhat as follows:
"I thought it was a very serious problem
for I haven't been able to decide on the an-
swer But Dr Crane gave his reply so swiftly
I must appear a simpleton to this crowd for
ever asking such a stupid question"
If you are a salesman a teacher a parent
Or the conductor of a forum please "Pause
and Praise" first for that reassures the
qtlestioner
Even if you have answered the question
1000 times before don't speed through your
reply so quickly it makes the questioner look
simple
Wrinkle your brow meditatively Nod your
head judiciously
"Um huh Uh huh" you can continue and
then add "Very good! Very good!"
This Is a variation of the "Pause and
Praise" technique It is doubly effective with
Sunday School or grammar school pupils for
they feel elated if they ihink they can even
momentarily "stump" an adult teacher
Then employ Christ's "Reversible Why"
strategy by saying 'That's such a good ques-
tion I'll let you folks in the class see if you
can answer it" This promotes audience par-
ticipation and thus whets interest
10 steps to safety
AP Newsfettures
Police authorities agree women can take
simple steps to protect themselves Here are
recommendations of the New York City Police
Department:
Notify police promptly of any suspicious
person loitering in the vicinity of your home
or on routes that you ordinarily take When
traveling alone at night walk where it is
well lighted Don't take short cuts
If awakened at night by an intruder don't
try to apprehend him He might be armed Do
not panic Lie still observe carefully and at
the first chance call police
Never open the door automatically after a
knock—insist that callers identify themselves
Install a window peephole
At night double-lock your door and chain
lock it too Equip your door with a lock that
has a dead bolt as well as a spring lock
Install locks on windows so that they will
be secure when open as Well as closed
If threatened by a robber do as you are
told Observe as much as possible and notify
police
Don't place keys under mats in mail boxes
or other receptacles outside the door
If you lose your doorkey have locks chang-
ed immediately Make certain your door is
locked at all times Some burglars make a
career of finding open doors
Employ servants only on a bonatide recom-
mendation and after thorough investigation
When you go away do it quietly Be sure
paper and milk deliveries are stopped during
your absence Don't leave notes
Barbs and briars
Lots of people have had their vacation on
the sands and are now on the rocks
Folks who attended the World Series sure
got a good run for the money—lots of them
Every married man knows that a stitch
In time is a surprise
Secrets of success are what every-body is
always telling everybody else
Auto tires gain pressure on long drives on
hot days just like a lot of golfers
-
There'll always be excuses to stay away
from the office but when the cold days come
they won't sound so fishy
It's better to give than to lend and often
costs about the same anyway
One way to get silence at a women's bridge
club is to ask who is the oldest
A Mississippi woman left her small fortune
to II cats For her relatives SCAT:
A Michigan woman was robbed when she
stopped her car for a traffic light Business of
seeing red before and after
