What Is 'Elderly?
One of our good Dallas newspaper friends is perturbed
over the question: When is a woman elderly?
Seems a story about a 59-year-old woman in Wash
ington State, in which she was referred to as “elderly,”
had repercussions clear across the nation.
When the matter got to the Associated Press iin New
York, a rule-ofthumb formula for describing age was ad
vanced:
A person is young until 35, middle aged fro m 35 to
65 and elderly thereafter.
That’s where our newspaper friend, Mason Walsh of
the Times-Herald, took up the cudgels by writing:
“Those under 35 mjay accept the designation of
“young” willingly. But there are a lot of folk, men and
women, in the 35-to-45-age bracket who’ll resent being
called middle-aged, including, naturally, this newspaper
man.
“It’s not just the adult age brackets that pose a jrob
lem df terminology, either. Anyone can get by calling a
youngster under two years of age a “baby” or maybe an
“infant.” But what 3-year-old will stand for it? Not any
we ever knew. They’re “big” boys and girls by then, and
they barely toleratte the designation of “child.” By the
time they’re 12, “child” is an unwelcome term. And so
we get “sub-teen-ager” and “teen-ager,” evolving, at mid
teens, mto “youth” for boys, while girls (for this limited
period at least) don't seem to object to being called simply
“girls.”
“Is an 18-year-old male a teen-ager, a youth, a boy
or a young man? Ask any 18-year-old of your acquaint
ance!
“Under a federal legal definition a boy is a juvenile
uptil he’s attained the age of 18. a girl until she’s at
tained the age of 18. Under Texas state definition, a boy’s
a juvenile u“til he’s 21, a girl until she’s 18.
“Legally, too, of course, a man is a man at 21. And,
as any man kpows, a woman’s a woman all the time.”
—From The Sherman, Texas, Democrat.
A family went hunting for the first time. None of
them had ever fired a gun before, but they were out after
some game. After a while the father came out of the
woods, his arftn i n a sling. Next came his older son, limp
ing. Then came his daughter wit hher head bandaged.
An old friend met them and asked how the hunting was.
The father said it was terrible. “But what about the bag?”
the friend asked, pointing to the younger son who had
just come out of the woods with a bag over his shoulder.
“That,” said the father, “is the dog.”—Foort Myers (Fla.)

NEW YORK—l’ve recently be
come a restaurant pest—a guy who :
makes the chef, mad and messes up
the place concocting his own sauce
at the table.
These fellows are lucky they
don't get poisoned. Because they
are implying that the chef's a lousy
sauce-maker.
It was at El Rancho Vegas in
Las Vegas that I made my mis
take.
•‘What’s in this delicious meat
sauce?” I asked, foolishly.
Beldon Katelman, the proprie

me a recipe handsomely typed up
by Albert Miranda, the maitre

I sent the B. W. around N. Y.
looking for the ingredients for his

weeks of shopping, during which
She bought 5 dresses and 6 pair of
shoes.
“Give the idea up,” she advised.
"That sauce would cost $20.”
For four people, you need a full
bottle of Escoffier Sauce Enable,
1-3 bottle Escoffier Sauge -Robert,
one teaspoon English mustard, two
tablespoons of chives, 1-2 teaspoon
of fresh ground pepper, 1 demi
tasse cyp of heavy cream, 1-4
pound melted butter. Mix in chaf
ing dish, stir well, serve very hot.
"This is for millionaires and al
though I know many millionaires,
they don't know me,’’ I said—and
gave that up.
I went hunting a cheaper sauce.
One night at Totts Shor’s, I heard
Don Ameche ask for “that hot box
sauce.”
You know how reticent chefs are
about telling you their recipes . . .
well, I found out that this one
is:
• Half catsup, the rest divided be
tween English mustard, Worcester
shire sauce, beef sauce and butter.
Let the butter sizzle, then dump in
the rest—serve very hot.”
The Gorgeous Mother-in-law
avoided the kitchen while I was
creating. She couldn’t stand to see
the havoc in the kitchen—me sur
rounded by a dozen dripping bot
tles.
“And I can’t eat that sauce, and
you shouldn’t either,” the B. W. in
formed me. “Because of the butter'
—l’m on a diet. And I thought you
were, too.’’
“Couldn't wc forget the diet for
one day?"
“But you forgot it all last week,
too!"
I persisted. I flung in a little
horse radish that the chef had for
got somehow, and wow, it was hot,
but I had to enjoy it in solitude
because the B. W. stayed out of the
kitchen.
“She’s not very cooperative,” I
said, but Slugger told me why.
“Mommy said she wasn’t going
to get roped in to doing dishes after"
all this mess,’’ he said.
Like somebody said, a columnist's
work is never done.

To the Editor,
I am afraid that this letter will
be a little late, for it takes a few
days for news from home to travel
to Georgia, but as a former stu
dent of Dunn High I feel that I
should at least do as much as the
present students are doing in de
fense of Coach Paul Waggoner.
If fielding a football teaip that
is in top physical condition and
having them dressed in up-to-date
equipment is “dirty football”; then
Coach Waggoner practised it. But,
if this is not (and surely it isn’t),
the Dunn Jaycees have failed in
their solution to this “rqugh tac
tics" answer. Before Paul Waggo
ner came to Dunn High, the foot
ball teams were playing in helmets
that.were cracked and a hazard to
the boys wearing them. I feel that
I know a little of what I’m .saying
for I had been out for foptball for
one year when Coach Waggoner
came to Dunn High, and played
under him for three years.
Evidently the other meipbers of
the AA Conference are afraid that
Dunn High may come up with a
powerhouse; Fbj'l know of no basis
for all the' slams made at Coach
Waggoner. And I can well under
stand the ftoekinghgm position ip
not voting to re-admit Dunn High.
Not after the way the fans mobbed
the Dunn team in 1949 when DRp
defeats them in a play-off for
the conference title. And perhaps
Lauriuburg is still “sick” over the
loss to Dunn some years back whep
DHS came from behind in the last
four minutes of the game tq score
four touchdowns to win the ball
game. And they were able to do
this not through "dirty football”
but because Coach Waggoner had
his boys in top shape and the
Lauriqpurg team just wasn’t up to
the game. And I'm sure Coach Pe
cora of Erwin hasn’t gotten over
his last game with Dunn—the
score was something like 55-6, with

WORRY
CLINIC
By Or.
George W. Crane
Maria demonstrates why par
ents should be sure they do not
play favorites among their chil
dren, for lifelong animosity may
then develop. Maria already
shows the “death wish,” but it
likewise attacks many pambered
wives who resent playing second
fiddle to their first, baby. Study
this case with double care.
Case N-386: (Maria M., aged 12,
offers a viewpoint that is widely
held by children.
“Dr. Crane, I’ll admit I am not
a model child,” she began, “but it
seefns my parents think I should
be. So they constantly pick on me
and criticize me all the time.
"I was the only child for 8 years
and I realize they babied me an
awful lot.
"Then I received a baby brother.
After that, I Just did not count
around our house. My mother and
father gave all their attention to
the baby.
“Well, I thought maybe that was
because he was still a baby but he
is now 4 years old, and things
haven’t changed a bit.
“When my brother tells lies on
me (and that is all the time), my
parents always believe him and I
get all the blame.
“So I am sure my parents don’t
love me any more, and it is all due
to my little brother. If he weren’t
here, everything would be nice
again.”
DEATH WISH
Maria has very frankly indicated
the “death wish.” She blams her
little brother for having ousted her
from the spotlight on her family
stage. Her parents should correct
this situation quickly.
But many older people likewise
hold such a veiled dislike for some
member of their own family that
they subconsciously wish he were -
dead.
However, this thought is abhor
rent to civilized adults, so they of
ten grow neurotic as a result of
the internal emotional conflict that
is goon set up in their minds.
end of the score. No wonder he
wouldn’t schedule Dunn. Because
for the past few years Dunn has
been out of his class.
Bpl all this isn’t the answer to
the charges made against Coach
Waggoner. And my answer to all
these charges can be summed up
in one word “Hogwash.” I played
under Coach Waggoner for three
years. And during this time, and it
was his first three years in Dunn
and we were playing in the con
ference at the time, I never at any
time heafd Coach Waggoner tell
any of his boys to play “rough and

game right then. _ He wanted his
boys to play to win, but hot “dirty,”
aftf} tbgt’s exactly what every
coach expects of his football team.
If each and every boy that has

Waggoner want his boys to play
‘dirty football,’ or did he allow you
to plgy ‘dirty?’ There is ho doubt
}p my mipq that ail qf them w °uid
with a very firm “Mp.”
Goaoh Waggoner has been more
than a coach and teacher at Dunn
High. He has been a personal friend
to all the students. Very few teach
ers can have this said of them. And
the citizens of Dunn should real
ize their lass in Paul Waggoner.

Cotton's Crocodile Tears |ojpl|
Help Put Over Stamp Deal P|gj#jjP
jj BY PETER EDSON * y||SpPj§f|j
'**■ NEA Washington Correspondent '•***
WASHINGTON— (NEA)— Sen.
" Norris Cotton (R., N. H.)
claims, it’s a major operation
these days to get the Post Office
Department to issue a commem
orative stamp.
“For three years now,” com
plains Cotton ih a letter to his
constituents, “we of the New
Hampshire delegation have been
butting our heads against a
stone wall.”
What they want in particular
: is a stamp commemorating the
150th anniversary of that famous
New Hampshire landmark and
tourist attraction known as “The
Great Stone Face.”
When Senator Cotton went to
the White House to discuss plans
for a Presidential trip to New
Hampshire this summer, he was
finally able to put over his deal.
“Immediately I began shedding
crocodile tears on the subject of
the stamp, reciting some of the
lesser events that had been com
memorated, protesting that New
Hampshire had been left out in
the cold, and insisting that if
the President is coming we
should have the stamp which
would honor him as well as the
other ‘Old Man.’
“It worked,” the senator re
ported proudly. “The White i
House called Postmaster Gen- "]
eral Arthur Sommerfield, who :
‘thought it could be done.’ :
... A committee came down from ,
New Hampshire to give the Post
Office Department the back- ;
, ground facts, and it looks like i
we’re in.” . 1

Glorying in Christ's Cross'
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY. DJ>.
TT was an English Unitarian
* layman, Sir John Bowring,
who wrote the well-known
hymn. “In the Cross of Christ I
Glory," a hymn that has long
otftlived his death in 1872.
Sir John was a very remark
able man. whose official life in
the service of the British Em
, pire seemed in various ways at
■ variance, as someone has recent
|ly pointed out, with the Chris
i tian expression of his' hymn. For
example: When, in an incident
,in which the British flag was
fired upon. Sir John in revenge
bombarded Canton, China, with
out consulting the home govern
ment. He was severely criticized
upder a motion of censure in
Parliament
He was a phenomenal linguist
who was said to have had a
knowledge of two hundred lan
guages, and the ability to speak
a hundred of them.
But religion to b? v e
triumphed in his life, for though
he wrote much and was a very
active man of affairs, it is upon
his hymn that his fame chiefly
rests.
There is much about the hymn
to occasion deep thought. First,
there is the picture of a Uni
tarian, glorying in the Cross of
Christ, and glorying in a very
vita) and personal way. The
hymn reveals how much the
Cross meant in his life, despite
its apparent discrepancies—the
Cross never forsaking him in the
presence of life’s woes, deceiving
hopes, and annoying glow
ing with peace and joy, and add
ing luster to bright and radiant
days, with a peace that know? po
measure and an always-abiding
Joy.
It ought to remind us that the
quality of personal faith and liv
ing cannot' be judged by a per
son’s attitude toward dogma-.

prior to the advent of the bahy.
So she is still the. “big shot” on
the family stage, even till her visit

But from the moment the baby
is born, her husband, as well as the
new grandparents, no longer in

“How’s the baby today? Let me

A WIDE OPEN and unblushing
appeal for a return to old-time
'political spoils and patr«iage j
systems has been made by As-,
sistant Secretary of Commerce
James C. Worthy.
“I think that in our enthusiasm £
for extending the scope of the
Civil Service merit system, we
have come dangerously close toj
denying our political parties the!
sustenance they need to retain 1 .
their health and vitality,” he de- j
dared in a speech to personal; \
administrators.
“Under the American political!
system,” he continued, “somej I
unifying and sustaining feature' |
is necessary. Historically, this:
factor has been patronage. . . • j
Many difficulties of the Republi- j
can party today are directly j
traceable to what may best be
described as 20 years of roalnu-1
untmr. It
. might consider most sacred and
necessary, flere was a man who
did not accept the orthodox con
■ ception of the metaphysical na
ture of Jesus, but who responded
in vital faith to the Jesus o( the ,
’ Cross, tne eternal Christ.
One might meditate, too, upon
the hymnbooks in which Sir
John’s hymn appears, and on the
congregations by which it islfc
sung. Here in the hymnbooks
is the great symposium of faith
and life. Those who sing, “In the
Cross of Christ I Glory," sing /
equally the hymn of the Roman fL
Catholic Newman, “Lead Kindly "
Light.” And between those ex
tremes are the hymns of saints
and believers of all sorts, whose
common experience was devotion
to God.
If we were realists, the use of
the hymnbook should make us
lovingly tolerant and very hum
ble, rebuking all narrow and sec
tarian ways in recognition of the
true, wholeness and completeness
of the unity in Christ.
What does it mean to glory'ip
Christ's Cross? Some glory in
it as something external to them- A
selves. It is Christ’s Cross, not v
theirs—“ Jesus died pnd paid H
all.” It is something done for
them; not a symbol of a crow
that they themselves bear and
share.
Really to glory in the Cross Os
Christ is to be bound by that
cross to Him. A great Christian
has tpld us what it means, and
all that it means: “God forbid
that I should glory, save in the
Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom the world is crucified
unto me, and I unto the wortir
(Galatians 6.T4). Paul set glory
ing w the cross against the atti

NIGHTMARES RE DEATH
But in her sleep she will often
have nightwares involving death or
caskets or funerals, etc.
When she wakens, she piay then
feel so ffcarful that she will jump
out of bed to.make sure the baby
isn’t ohoking to death.
Some worried mothers actually
rush into the nursery a dozen titnes
per night to lay their hand on the
baby’s chest just to make sure it
is still breathing.
Other mothers think “Oh, I must |
be abnormal to wish my baby£
weren’t here!” and that idea of
“abnarman” then brings on l(s
Ttynonym, namely, “insane.”
Such Mothers may then simulate
insanity until they actually go tq. a
