For what is a man profited
if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?
—St Matthew 16 26)
' So often these days so
many of us sacrifice so much
Ito make "big" money—to "hit
the jackpot" of fame or for-
tune—and we Ignore the in-
ner longing that is our soul
Somehow we think that this
can wait until we have made
ourselves secure in success
But who knows the day and
lour of his death?
Not much time for this nonsense
lately (hope you noticed) because I
have been as busy as a one-armed
paper hanger with the itch And
that's rigtt except I have two
arms (at times I need four) and I
don't have the itch (I tthink)
We owe a mortgage on a house
at Hobart that has been vacant
since last February and The Boss
decided we should clean up the
yard paint the inside woodwork
and paper all the rooms plus sand
and varnish the floors and lay a
new linoleum "while it is vacant and
We have the chance"
Counting our pennies she decided
We stlould operate on rt "do-it-yourself"
plan and save the labor
charges And for several Saturday
afternoon we have been cheating'
the experts but I don't know as we
saved any monsy What with all
the liniment for back aches the
extra washing and ironing of the
messy clothes—the Saturday after-
noon business missed and gas 'oil
and tires on the trips over there
But being as stubborn as the next
"do-it-yourself" couple we are now
about two-thirds through the job
and she says we are going to com-
plete it "or else" So guess we will
complete what we have started 1
A few tips (from experience) to
those who may get the same idea
some time:
Every room in a house is crooked
while papering the ceiling cause
the paper and ceiling never come
out even But while papering the
wall it always has a tendency to
sorta straighten up until you come
to the place where you started But
you can always kid yourself with
"we can patch it whelp it will
never be noticed"
Remove all nails before you start
We found out you can't paper over
around or about them without tear-
ing holes big enough to show
If you are fat and forty get a
pair of knee pads to use while
spreadingvast on the paper on the
floor If you don't you will creak
every step for the next three days
You can't get rid of a wrinkle' -
by punching a hole in the paper !
with a pin "to let the air out"!
Best to peel it off and start over'
Grow an extra arm and hand be-I
cause you will need it while paper- i
ing the ceiling folding the paper'
up you need an extra hand to get —
the smoothing brush out of your
pocket An mxtra set of eyes in the
back of your head wouldn't hurt
anything "to see how you are doing
'-- where you have been"
Be sure and have The toss around
to tell you "it matches at the top
tut not at the bottom" or vice
versa Or best of all to say "Honey
since 'looking at that last strip I
bcliew Its on upside down"
And—if at all possible—agree to
redecorate two-room house—not a
seven! I i
A man came home to fin4 his
children on the front steps and
asked what they were doing We
are playing Church" they answer-
ed The puzzled father inquired fur-
trier and was told "Well we've al-
ready sung and prayed and preach-
ed now we're outside on the steps
smoking"—enough said
When the family returned from
Sunday morning service father

Two Hollywood children were
talking as they were walking home
from school one day
"I've got two little brothers and
one little sister" boasted one "How
many do you have?"
"I (lora have any brothers or sis-
ters" answered the second one "but
I have three papas by my first
mama and four mamas by my last
papa!"

Dear Wingo:
Well how is ever thing in Gran-
ite? What do you think of the
Sputnik the Russians havf shot into
outer space? I never d'1 see any-
!thing in your paper about it
Yes Sputnik has a dog in its in-
sides and every time it sticks its
head out it seems to be a different
breed and every state west of the
Missouri river except Oklahoma has
seen fire balls hit the earth and
bounce and rockets fly over and
stop their cars Remember Okla-
homa is the only dry state among
them
If Oklahoma was wet they would
see lots of things they never saw
before So you better tell them about
It before it is too late i
SPe all of you soon Dan Howard
Wear Dan: Yes we miss you and
receiving the above kind of letters
only serves to remind us how much1
We have not elaborated On the'
sputnik very much because here in
this wolf-hunting country we be-
lieve shortage of dogs is the only
reason Uncle Sam doesn't have one I
of them things floating out into the
wild blue yonder You lay off that 1
five roses and maybe you will re-
member seeing here what I had to
say about Sputnik No 1 We know
we are sleepy but not that much
We'll be looking forward to seeing
and fussing at you again soon so
don't disappoint us--Wingo)

Veda Reed Shows
Paintings In New York
Mrs Jesse Stovall was advised
this week that her daughter Veda
Reed had completed a one-person
art showing in the Morris Gallery
in New York City The show was
held October 1 through 19tb and
Miss Reed was present at the open-
ing She lives in Memphis Tenn
Some of the critics views follow:
From ARTS October issue: Veda
Reed in 12 large oils by this young
Memphis painter shacks and apart-
ment buildings are smudged in twi-
light or surfeit of light reduced not
to their essence but to a smudge of
sensation Colors—wheat streaming
against sky blue for example—are
pleasing But as a whole the paint-
ings are too relaxed one demands
more tension from them more con-

see experiments with styles ranging
from an Avery-like arbor scene to
dark Abstract Impressionist land-
scapes The skyline disappears in the
recent paintings the subject is
spread out in flat patterns The work
is not distinctive but shows promise
NEW YORK TIMES Oct 17—
Veda Reed a young painter from
Tennessee is holding her first New
York exhibition at the Morris Gal-
lery Miss Reed paints dusky land-
scapes often poignant in their iso-
lation They - are semi-abstract sim-
plified to suggest the loneliness of
Arkansas shacks or the poetry of a
memory of a red frame house Her
work is well executed with a per-
sonal and engaging use of color
