"If ycu're in trouble, ostensibly with . your mate but really with yourself,' said Hall, "don't come to a philosopher for wisdom rath er go to your psychiatrist for, an alysis."

Aren't you ashamed? Don't you sec what a brazen hussy you are? That's evil!'; "Evil? evil? I should be asham ed? I don't understand," said Eve. "Why you haven't got a stitch of clothing on either, nor have any cf the animals though some of Ihcm have more hair than we. But the evil?

And as the one trait got the better of her the other grew until she reached a state bordering on blasphemy. She thought more and more about good and evil and her newly acquired i know-ledge of them. Then one day, agitated by internal debate with j uerself, she almost stepped on the serpent as he slithered through! the grass desperately trying to get J out of her way. This so startled! her that she screamed at him in' Most unladylike fashion: j "You vicious varmint! You're the cause of all my troubles. And for what?

Checks For Vets Being Mailed The veterans In school under the Korean GI Bill, can cheer up because they will probably not have to go on vacation without their government funds, according to the Veterans Administration. In December, because many schools and colleges get out be fore the checks are usually re ceived, the VA is making a special effort to mail the checks early. If the checks fail to reach here in time to be delivered before the vacation, they will be held at the the post office until after the holidays are over, according to Col. Shepard. The law requres GI allowances to be naid sometime after the end of each month of, training! completed. But before a payment can be authorized, the veteran and j his school must submit a certifi- cation to VA. stating that he has been in training status all month. These reports, which arc usually filled out the last of the month, may this time be filled out be tween December 17-19, said Shepard.
