J VMORE (2 V fjjm jjjf stretching the truth a bit to at-tain whatever unexplalnable goal they may have. But true friendship withstands many a test. A true friendship can endure despite disagreement and difficulty. It is not necessari-ly true that good friends always agree, never argue; to the con-- " trary, a real friendship is one that haj proved itself under trying circumstances. Further, one should never doubt a true friend on the basis of what someone sayi that this friend thinks, says or does. Let us judge our own friends and de-termine things for ourself. When some doubt is raised, then it is time to go to our friend and say, "I just want you to hear what someone has said to me about you." This puts the cards right on the table where they should al-ways be in any relationship that is to be called a friendship. In final summation, v; are not being much of a friend our-self if we believe what others tell us about one of our friends without being definitely certain that our informant has nothing but our best interest at heart.

THIS WEEK'S LETTER: "I have a very good friend. We have much in common and like the same sports, music, etc. We go to different schools, and are not together constantly, although we double-dat- e frequently. My problem? Another person came to me and said that she (the friend that I speak of above) does not like me any more and has told several people that she does not encourage our friend-ship. What should I do?" OUR ANSWER: Pay no heed to what anybody has said or may say to you about your friend. Forget it. But, because the sub-- 1 ject has been brought to your attention, find out if there Is any-trut-in it. There Is, of course, only one place to get the truth, and that is from your "friend." Go to this friend and put all of your cards on the table and don't believe anything anyone tells you until this friend has had the opportunity to confirm or deny. It is a crying shame that we have to make this statement, but it is true: There are some people in this world who Just don't seem to be happy unless they are stirring up some 'mis-chief . . . and they don't mind SEE US FOB EIME PAMMEDPIAI DDIMTIMP i int. . lAiTimLnuaLi r mil i inu LETTERHEADS ENVELOPES INVITATIONS WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS BUSINESS CARDS STATEMENTS PROGRAMS WINDOW CARDS BOOKLETS TICKETS HANDBILLS ALL TYPES BUSINESS FORMS AND MANY OTHERS TOP QUALITY - LOW PRICES FAST DEPENDABLE SERVICE OUR SPECIALTY THE BINGHAM BULLETIN .

Soon after, she noticed drooping of her eye-lids. It was natural to think her eyes were at fault and she visited the eye doctor. Glasses were pre-scribed which helped her read better but the double vision and drooping of the lids persisted. Next she noticed a change in her voice, then difficulty chewing and swallowing food. Weakness of her arms and legs developed, es-pecially late in the day. Combing her hair became a major effort and walking up stairs was diffi-cult. When these severe symptoms began, she saw the doctor. This U a typical history of a patient who has developed a mys-terious disease of muscular weak-ness, myasthenia gravis. This was once thought to be rare but new evidence Indicates that it may be far more prevalent than supposed. There are almost 100,000 victims of myasthenia gravis in this coun-try alone. Young women and old-er men are more prone to develop this diseases. The cause is not known although there seems to be an upset in the chemical balance at the point where the nerves join the muscles. Thus the nerve impulses do not excite the muscles as they should, with varying degrees of weakness resulting. The onset of myasthenia is usu-ally slow. Some of the muscles that become involved early in the illness are those of the eyeballs (double vision), eyelids (droop-ing), throat, vocal cords, jaws, arms and legs. This disease may go unrecognized for a long time and may resemble chronic fatigue or another chronic disease. The neighborhood's fathers have just made !he kids a baseball diamond.

Ask a dozen anglers and probably no two of them will give you identical an-swers. Non-angler- s, however, are more specific. They usually have two "stock" answers when anyone wuy utey nave no iiueiesi in piscatorial endeavors. I. "Fishing is nothing but a waste of time." and 2. "I never catch anything, so I just gave it up." Is fishing a waste of time? Of course not ... no more fhan is golfing, boating, swimming, dan-cing or any other type of re-creational activity. An important factor that many recreation-seeker- s overlook is that fishing is one of very few recreational activities in which each individual can "set his own pace." How's this? Sim-ple. If you are on the golf course and poke along too slowly, the foursome behind you is going to get mighty nervous and upset. Go dancing and you have to keep in step with the music. With fishing, well, it's different. A man can write his own ticket. He can really work at it; stay up all night gathering night crawlers (worms, you non - fishermen) or soft craws (crayfish which have shed their outer shell; a prime bass bait in some sections of the country). Then, on the other hand, a fel-low can buy all the bait and lures he needs at the local sporting goods store. He can take along a son, cousin, neighbor, or some neophyte who is more than happy to carry the minnow bucket and fishing poles just for the chance to go a'flshing. You're more than apt to see this take-it-eas- y angler stretched out in the shade some-where along the bank, hat pulled down over his brow, his thoughts oft in the wild blue yonder. He's the fellow who earned fishing the title of a "lazy man's endeavor." - JUKE E5S: ' 0 "zrr:,yi amo TitnY Lived a "I had a wonderful time, Alfred, and tell your father it was awfully nice of him to advance you the five-wee- allowance." From Mrs. Kate Hall, Jonev boro, Tennessee: I remember when I was a very young girl my minister father was often pastor of different churches twenty and twenty-fiv- e miles from our home. He was also a school teacher and he took room and board near where he taught as transportation then was not what it is today. On Friday afternoons one of my older brothers would go to bring father -- home, riding one of our farm horses and leading the other one. After resting at home Friday night, he would again saddle a horse and ride the twenty or more miles to fill his appointment at one of the churches. He would arrive there in time to preach on Satur-day evening and also Sunday eve-ning. After the last service, he would start the long ride back home to be ready to go to school Monday morning. In winter he wore a neat chin beard to protect his throat and I have seen him come home in the driving winter weather, almost frozen, and with icicles clinging to his whiskers, caused by his breathing, and mother and we children would be very anxious until he was warm and comfort-able. His long service in the public schools and number of churches is remembered and spoken of with love and affection by surviving pupils and church members.

Ifa ACROSS l5 P. the DESI1 D$ From The Desert Journal, Joshua Tree, California: This con-cerns use of a privilege more pre-cious than privacy and just as personal; In a sense it is the su-preme expression of our right to individuality. Yet much can stand upon the wisdom with which we exercise this privilege which is of the right to vote. Why is it two out of three people rarely bother to vote? That this is so is borne out by the fact that a thirty to forty per cent vote by , registered voters is the average turnout. And this fails to recog-nize an undetermined number who never even register for the privi-lege. Have we grown so apathetic in viewing this function of a good citizen's rights that it may cease altogether to represent the will of the people? These are disturbing thoughts. Are we uninformed on real Is-sues at stake and therefore timid about facing a decision? Whose fault is this if not the individual who has failed to take sufficient interest to become informed of the facts? Wisdom and judgment are, It is true, responsibilities not to be cas-ually discharged. They require some basis of common sense. Na-turally we must listen to the opinions of other people. But as Individuals we must make our own decisions. At the same time we should avoid being swayed by selfish motives or mass hysteria. Indeed it may seem a large order this voting responsibility. To make our citizenship opera-tive, these are things which must be done: Decisions must be ren-dered: wisdom must be exercised: consequences must be weighed. For this purpose the privilege of voting is extended to us. We can-not afford to be Indifferent By Thomas Collins WIDOW, 70, SELLS HOME TO FINANCE FUTURE tt'T'HIS is just to prove to older 1 women that a lot of money-i- s not necessary in the retirement years if you have an adventurous spirit." This statement comes from a gracious lady in Pennsylvania who has a story to tell about her mother. The mother was left a widow at 44. She had four children, a brick home and little else. She found ways to manage and to finish the education of her children. As they left home, she converted her brick house into furnished apartments, and through the years did very well. "Then finally," says the daugh-ter, "came her 70th birthday. She was no longer able to keep up her apartments. What was she to do? Her Social Security payments were only $64 a month. "She would not take financial help from the children, but my brother was allowed to find a more suitable plact for her to live. He found a small, older home with two bedrooms, which Mother could buy for $4,600. Meanwhile, I found a buyer for her brick home for a net of $12,000. "She got $2000 down payment on the brick home and used that as down payment on the little house. Then all the children went to work making the little house attractive. We put in a new gas furnace, renewed the floors and painted the house inside and out. "Mother with the help of a law-yer provided that the buyer of the brick house pay her $100 a month on the $10,000 he still owed, plus 6 per cent interest This plus the $64 Social Security has worked out splendidly for Mother, and she has whittled the mortgage on her little house down to $1,200. "She has enjoyed her little house greatly. She has cultivated many older widows like herself and they have a grand time play-ing cards and arranging parties among themselves. "But here is the icing to the cake. Four years ago she and three other lady friends decided to take $200 each and go to Flor-ida for the winter. They went by bus to Fort Myers and got a four-roo- m apartment with two bed-rooms for $80 a month. They each put $5 a week in a kitty for gro-ceries. Every week there was grocery money left over because they always had Sunday dinners and Friday night suppers out, and each paid her own way. (The la-dies, while taking only $200 each on the trip, also were using their Social Security benefits to meet expenses.) "All of the ladies closed their homes in the North when they made this first trip and estimated they saved $25 to $30 a month on heat and clothing." According to the daughter, this past winter was the fourth year in which her mother and three lady companions had gone to Flor-ida for January, February and March. They go now to Hollywood, Fla., where they rent a cottage near a park. They belong to bridge clubs and shuffle-boar-d clubs and actively partici-pate in the social affairs of the older people in the town.
