FRIDAY. r page btk (Firsi Ecbrj THE WAYNESVTLLE MOUNTAINEER Snap Shots Of The HUMAN SIDE OF LIFE -By- FRANCES GILBERT FRAZIER Did you ever stop to think that nine-tenths of the adult human race are victims of diseases that all be gin, odd as it may seem, with the letter "P"? Some have these ail ments in aggravated form, others slightly afflicted hut the symptoms are identically established. You need only be around a victim a lew minutes and you can diagnose his malady in a split second. Perhaps you, too, are suffering from the same trouble but you never suspect it and you wonder why on earth the other cannot realize how objection able he is. Twas ever thus! For instance: w ho of u.s that does not have slight twinges of Procras tination pains'.' We feel the tug Of conscience pulling us to go ahead and do what we know we should be up and doing hut we put it off until some more convenient time. "Than which there is never!" We can't decide when, where 01 Why we should do this or that, and we spend far more energy in push ing it away from us than if we went right into action when the matter came up. There's disease No. 1. Along conies one of the most in sidious and disgusting allliclions known to mankind. 11 has leach ed epidemic stage and oii Imd its evidence on every .-ide. Scarce ly a person escapes its fangs whether they have been inoculated with its virus or contaminated by its association. It is known as I'cr- pendiculitis, and comes lioni tht American wind Perpendicular, meaning straight up and down like the captial letter I. II also is do rived from the common word "ego' and is spoken in every language. This disease is not infectious but is VERY contagious. Those associ ating with a vic tim of I'ei pencliru litis almost iuiccliatcly are seicd with a wild itching sensation the desire to have their fling at the conversation overcoming all inter est in the person afflicted. I n fortunately, there has never been found a cure for this malady . The next illness is of a somewhat segregated order; it is not general ly unpleasant and the sufferer does not make himself obnoxious to the public. This trouble is easily tak en care of by crowd. We are re ferring to an illness more preval ent among women than men: It is known as Propinquity pains and requires treatment of association With people. Those who have this trouble cannot amuse themselves or be satisfied unless in the midst of a number of people. Solitude is a nightmare to them. Here is another sic kness that en tirely too many people are victims of; in this respect you will find that over eights per cent of those Has It Have you gone shopping in a hurry ... drove up and down Main Street two or three times . . . hoping that Lady Luck will smile on you for a parking place No Luck you give up . . . you drive the length of a side street before you find a place to park ...then you walk to your destina tion . . . shop in a, crowded store, then carry your packages and walk back to your car . . . are you hot!! All of this can be avoided by taking your first two minutes to drive out to the "Hilltop Semi Self Service Store" where there is plenty of parking space.

The symptoms are stubborness. clash of wills, a deep seated aversion to co-operating with olhers and a general air of cussedness It is curable but the treatment takes so long it is hardly worth the effort. Palaver ague is mostly amongst the idle but it can easily be con tacted and victims of this illness should be avoided. The signs arc a constant jabbering, chattering and mouthing of useless words, sentences and ideas, .lust talking and saying nothing, in fact. It might be a .sple ndid idea for each one of us to isolate ourselves from any persons suffering with maladies mentioned above; clean up our own premises and tuns avoid a Pandemia.

Peace Bell Bill Is Pealing Forth In House A great hell, ringing every day in gratitude for world peace the dream of a little German scam stress in the palace of Bismarck in a Europe filled with wars and rumors of wars is coming nearer to reality today because of the work of her son. Neal C. Miller, of Elmore. Ohio. A bill to authorize the appoint ment of a Peace Bell Tower Foun dation Commission has been in troduced in the House of Repre sentatives by Homer A. Ramsey i Hi of Ohio. The bill would pave the way for erection of a 550-foot tower of star shaped cross section, on a 100-foot hill near Washington. Mr. Miller, who is now in Wash ington, at work on this project, has had preliminary plans prepared for this tower, which would house, in addition to the great Peace Bell itself, a 54-bell double carillon, with a bell representing each na tion, together with radio equipment for transmitting the tones of the bells around the world. Mr. Miller's crusade in behalf of the Peace Bell Tower, which he proposes to finance by inviting gifts of old lings, jewelry, silver, and gold kept for the sake of associa tions w hose memories would be re vived for donors each time they heard the bell on their radios goes back to the voyage of his mother to the New World, where she sought a land of freedom and peace, and where she appreciated what she found.

But this does not indicate a happy family ar- j rangement, for the visitors often eat the young prairie dogs; and al- though the prairie dogs eat only grass, they destroy the young owls and sometimes bury the rattlesnakes alive.
