Mary
Catherine
Harris
Birthday Number 57
For most of us frail humans, the passing of years
is accompanied by too many undesirable escorts ?
sagging skin, drooping shoulders, graying hair ?
and not the least of which is diminished stamina. In
the news recently have been a number of characters
who have passed the half-century mark and whose
countenances sport neither line nor wrinkle and
whose energies spurt forth undaunted. How can that
be?
Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse marked the passing
of his 57th birthday Monday. Today he is every bit
as lively as the little mouse which ran around in
Disney's chilled studio years ago and which in
spired the image of Mickey. The over-50 ranks this
year welcome another of Disney's creations,
Donald Duck, and Warner Brothers cartoon charac
ters Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Wile E.
Coyote, Pepe Le Pew and others of the Merrie
menagerie. The "wabbit" is as "wascally," the pig
as robust, the duck as frazzled, the coyote as wily
and the skunk as amourous in 1985 as in the year of
their birth in the 1930's. They just don't age.
Besides that, my children are every bit as en
tranced by their antics as I was a generation ago. In
50 years, the duck having its beak blown askew by
the irate hunter, and even the cat-eat-bird, rabbit
humiliate-duck themes which abound in the scripts,
have not aged. The expectations are that they
will continue to provide somewhat innocent delight
for another millennium or so of children. They are
ageless.
TV qualities which make a classic, having en
during interest and appeal and permanent and
lasting value, appear to be born of the mind and not
of the body. Countless are the literary and artistic
products of human imagination which do not grow
old or show the effects of aging. They appear
destined to live into eternity.
On a more serious vein, I recently happened upon
a description of a time in history which could not
more aptly describe today had it been written this
morning:
"The Budget should be balanced. The Treasury
should be filled. Public debt should be reduced. The
arrogance of officials should be tempered and con
trolled, and assistance to foreign lands should be
curtailed lest we ourselves should become bank
rupt. The people should be forced to work and not
depend on the Government for subsistence."
The words were penned in the year 60 B. C. by the
distinguished Roman orator and statesman, Mar
cus Tullis Cicero, a contemporary of Julius Caesar.
Now, that's no Mickey Mouse.
