"There sits our sulky, sullen dame, gathering her brows like ' gathering storm, nursing her wrath to keep it warm." ,V;- Dam if I wouldn't re-read the paper, maybe I saw only those items -, which echoed my despondency. This time I fared better, at least the ' -Items amused me no matter how silly they were. First there was the news story of a man in the west who raises buffaloes. Lately there has been great -demand for live buffaloes, too. Not as you might think for a zoo or a park or even for1 food. People just were buying buffaloes. One man in New York, in the , suburbs naturally, had bought two. When reporters asked him what , ' on. earth he wanted with two buffaloes, he replied, "Well, I keep them In my garage, and it sounds rather interesting to say . off-hand mt party of in a general conversation that I have two buffaloes in my garage, cheaper than two cars really, more trouble to feed, but au;r uu, uon t you Knowr v L Then there is the statement of a major airline executive that he , . may well wish he hadnt made. Speaking for the officials of his com- T pany, he said that they would not retain stewardesses after thev . wach the age of 32. The fresh beauty and attractive appearance of ft woman fades after that time - the bloom is gone.' What those men have let themselves in for when their wives get hold of them! A lawyer in Dallas swapped cars this week. Then he remembered that he hadn't taken his belongings out of the glove compartment of his old auto. One of the missing items was a book on "How to Improve r Your Wpmnrv" We HqH kmn.)., kA . f 1 mc uvu& a year ago ana never com a remember to take it out of the glove compartment Police in New Zealand may have nipped the career of a young scientist in the bud. They arrested a thirteen year old boy after he had discovered a fireworks display in a store window, focused the sua rays through a magnifying glass and set an explosion that des troyed some forty dollars worth of merchandise. And it would be interesting to watch what comes out of a town in , Michigan. Seems the Mayor issued an order to aU his department heads. Each morning they are to lock themselves in their offices for ft half hour, take a pencil and "jot down any ideas - any hot ideas -that is the way Newton discovered the law of gravity." AH silly, yes, but a relief from the tension of serious news - maybe they should be entered under the head of People Are Funny. And my day in the news you can find proof of that old cliche of Phineas Taylor Barnum, There's a sucker born every minute. Consider, the fantastic case of two Austrian doctors who moved to Maine. There in the lovelv resort town ed ft foundation called the Orgone Institute. It is in a modernistic building on a densely wooded estate. In winters there are only a few people but in summer there are youth sessions and clinics. One ' of the doctors who claims to be a pupil of Freud, said that he headed clinics in Denmark and Nosway before he came to the United States In 1839. He" claims to have discovered a form of energy in the atmos phere for which he coined the term orgone energy. .. Now this energy the doctor claims has great therapeutic value -it wiU not only cure almost anything but also prevents many ills the flesh is heir to - from colds to cancer, bone fractures to the effects of atomic warfare. This marvelous nostrum called orgone energy is manifested in the blueness of the sky, in atmospheric heat waves, and in static radio reception. Sounds fine, but there is a gimmick. You have to buy or rent a de vice called an accumulator. That is a sort of box ranging in size from one large enough to hold an adult to blankets and cones to treat a single limb. This orgone energy is supposed to accumulate inside the box without electrical or other energy connection. Then it enters the bodies of the sick or those who may be sick when they sit inside, i The most popular model is the size of a telephone booth. It is made of alternate layers of organic and metallic materials, wood, metal, glass wool and steel wool. , And these devices were sold for prices up to $225 00 for the size you can sit in and be so filled with energy that its presense can be detected by a Gelger counter - so the prospectus said. Before the federal government moved In last week to halt Interstate shipment more than a thousand had been sold. Well, there was a Maine man who made a fortune years ago by selling metal belt to be worn next to the skin. This belt would cure, colds, arthritis, rheumatism and head aches - so he said. It was a kind of accumulator, too, stored the surplus electricity that the body manufactured, conducted it back again when the body needed it And I have met two or three elderly people who still wear them, swear by them. too. Patth can move mountains, I suppose. However it was a little more than faith that made a tonic manufactured in Maine so popular, ft tonic that would cure almost ill of either man or beast The doctor who bottled it came along when Maine was a real prohibition state. It waft concocted of herbs gathered at the right time of the moon, ' flavored with some marie lnm-eriient that miM nw -i-i. " - u jvtA liyil VUfc VL the February doldrums. It also contained more than eighty-five per iCent alcohol - and was to be taken before meals three times a day or wucunvci- in pauem zeii mat be needed It Maybe that's how the vyui mu-viveu we long winters. , HELEN CALDWELL CUSHMAN 1 ill -'A EyPAIBA&WICiE (In The Gold bore News-Argus Special Education is Drosram designed to meet the needs of child. -ren who are mentally retarded.
