However, How-ever, it isn't likely the dearth of Oscars for more creditable distinction distinc-tion will1 bother him much. His movie is sure to make millions upon millions of dollars. . For what special effects was the lone Oscar awarded? I don't know, but assume it might have been for the parting of the waters of the Red Sea. Well, I've seen a few Blbical movies in my time. First was the silent Ten Commandmants, of about 1925. Then there was one named The Prodigal, notable to me then chiefly for a lot of two-handed two-handed nnse-thumbing indulged In by the actors. It followed the other by about a year. Some thought It sacred. I think it was vulgar. Then I happened to see The Kim? Of Kings during its first run at Grauman's Chinese, about 1927. Thought at the time it might more appropriately have been shown at the Egyptian. H. B. Warner, I think it was, played the sacred leading role. With them all, for some reason, Hollywood miracles based on Biblical Bib-lical stories don't sit well with me. I don't think I'd have awarded the 1956 Commandments any more Oscars than the experts did. Memory vs. Brains In declining an invitation to appear on a TV Quiz show three weeks ago, one Dr. Raymond J. Murphy, of Wayne State U, In Michigan, unburdened himself of a few observations regarding that sort of performance. He said that success on the quiz shows does not reflect any great intellect, or reasoning power, or a 'ogicpl mind. What it does show 's photostatic memory. He said, "Bein? ab'e to remember facts is wonderful, but the real value lies In being able to translate this Information In-formation into something meaningful". mean-ingful". In other words, there is a difference dif-ference between the ability to remember, re-member, and the ability to reason. As a professor with a string of initials after his name in addition to the customary ones before it he wanted to put his intellectual gifts to more meaningful purpose than competition against a photostatic photo-static memory. He acknowledged. In fact, that "mere trains" are no match for memory as the shows are conducted. To me, the quiz shows are enter taining and enjoyable as long as adults participate. The feats of memory are remarkable, and cred Itable of themselves, even If they don't prove much power of logical lllllilllli lllllllltll llltllllllfl saves B gallons of hot water per load! i t i 'Hi.

Not only In these, but I don't enjoy watching ten-year-olds play advanced piano or violin numbers. There's something un-normal un-normal about it. - In fact, one ten year old boy on a quiz the past few weeks has about convinced me the whole thing Is a fake. I say no child's head could hold the knowledge of science this one indicated. Nor could many adult's. In order to answer the questions he answered, he would, presumably, presum-ably, have had to possess a comprehensive com-prehensive knowledge of all branches bran-ches of science oi else he was uncommonly lucky in that the few he did possess were the ones on which the questions were based. And I say the knowledge indicated indic-ated was Impossible for a ten year old. One question alone, would have taxed a mature astronomer in his specialized field. To me, the Incident served only to show that the boy must have been coached In advance. The laws of probability all but rule out the chance he could have answered this as a random question. In other words, I say they over did the thing to the point of virtually proving the program a fake. I Just can't make myself believe the In credible. Kip Hooray The other day our eleven year. old, listening to the radio said, I Thafa Hip". "What! Hip?" I aaked. "Pelvis." Living in a house with four teen agers, I have all but had to hire an interpreter to follow the conversation. con-versation. Fortunately, I just ran across one of their magazines. It holds all the answers, or at least the definitions. It's named Dig, and it Includes a Digtlonary. It's real good, and I'm glad I pinned It, as I had about flipped before I found It. A little more cramming and I'll be a cool cat. It's tuff enuf, but it won't zonk you. Taite Kemp, for instance. It says a kemp Is a car. A car Is also called wheels. If you have a set of wheels you have a kemp. A cool kemp is a cool car. Or Gass: To gass someone is to flip them. A gass?r is a cat that gasses people, makes them happy, flips them, etc. A passer is also a great guy. A joke that is real good could gass people or be called call-ed a gasser because it's so good. Dig is a word that has many meanings, but it never means to dig up the dirt or take a dig at someone. If you dig ice cream, that means you like Ice cream. The past tense of dig is dug. Dig and pin mean the same. People who know all this used to be called hep, but now It's hip. If you aren't hip you're a rank square. Rank means the lowest, and if you're really rank you're linn line. Last week I mailed a letter for our sixteen year old. Being a rank square and not hip I carelessly put the stamp on upside down. So this cool cat wrote and asked her if she really meant it that way. This really drug her, and she had to write and hip him on how it happened. hap-pened. Putting a stamp on diagonallike diagonal-like means something too, and I won't dare do it until I learn what, and probably won't even then. It might be a bust. Well, It sure seems good to be getting hip, and not be a rank square any more. That Digtlonary Is the most! I wig on It. Dig? Mm. Aftcn Fullmer 4, M1LLAHD COUNTY CHRONICLE i Delta. Utan. Thurs.
