Show OREM-GENEVA TIMES Thursday, December 13. 1945 This N' That By Ethyl N. Hair ""TWENTY FIBS HAKES A LIE" Fibbin" is what the grown ops do and give the young'uns Hail Columbia for. Four year old Jimmy told a fib. I thought, "In my childhood child-hood days mother would have put soap in my mouth and I had probably better do something about the fib this beloved grandson grand-son of mine had Just told me." I said, "Jimmy, did you know you told a fib?" He looked at me out of the corner of his blue eyes as he hung his head and said, "Yes, but It was a good fib." I laughed and so did he. "Ok' Jimmy, don't ever let me catch ypu telling bad fib," Z scolded, trying to be ever so self-righteous. ' Most everybody fibs to some degree or in some manner but there ate two kinds of fibbing: good and bad. If Jimmy can discern between good and bad fibs I'm not going to worry too much. America is the fibblngest nation na-tion in the world. Fibbing is sometimes called "diplomacy" or "tact".. The Japanese use oil and "so sorry". The Germans use unvarnished lying, but the Irish have us all beat a country mile with their "blarney". I suppose every person or nation has its definition for straying from the truth. Still there's a point to be said for fibbing. I would hate to tell an 11 person they looked like it would be a matter of a short time till they would be playing a narp, ana 1 Know a lib la the right direction at the right time has saved more people's lives than all the scientific achievements. achieve-ments. Still there's a point of danger dang-er if it's overdone. Some folks are so adept at the art of fibbing fib-bing that it sounds practically better than the varnished truth. Folks In society gush so much one wonders if it is fibbing or Just a social lingo. This form I COON'S I ! CAN . I.

Is sure to bring out the "hypo crite" in us all. For lnsiance when you say, "So glad you called, blaw, blaw", and all the time you were wishing they Had stayed at home so you would listen to your facorlte radio pro gram Seems that women are more guilty than men of some brands of fibbing or gushing. When the truth cannot be spoken and it's Just idle talk, silence Is far better. Then there Is the type ot person per-son on whom you cannot put any dependency In what they say or promise. This is called lying, "black or white", and gets them nowhere for the face takes dn a guilty, twisted look, the eyes are sly and it's easy to see what kind of v falsehood Is being be-ing told, and falsehoods warp the soul and mind. After a while, such a person gets so they cannot discern between a lie, a fib, or the truth. This practice prac-tice should be condemned early in childhood. Yes, I like a good fib now and again, in the right place. One that cannot be checked upon such as, "I don't know him very well but he seems so accomodating accomodat-ing and is very nice." This is better than giving him his just dues even to the point of telling the truth. , So, it takes twenty, fibs to make a lie. I always stop at nineteen and start over and I hope they are all fibs that give somebody a new lease on life, and that's fibbing like s lady. HAVEYOURTIRES LOST THEIR .-j VIIMK-I 1,1 J. 432 W.
