But it la there. ? The Murfrees People are wonderful, as you will agree on reading the following letter from heart attack is not always the beginning of the A end. The majority of victims can resume their old jobs, "provided they are not or crammed with responsibilities. Others can capitalize on their infirmities and start life anew with work they like or always wanted to do. ONE WORD OF caution! Expression is common after recovering from coronary thrombosis. Dont make too many changes until you over-- ' come the blues and can think and plan In a rational manner. Most people live through heart attacks and they do something to their philosophies that more than compensates for the physical distress. They sense that life was at stake for a few hours and that they are not Indestructible or immortal. back-breake- " y "I thought he meant we were going to a quaint Dutch restaurant, but we went dutch at a quaint restaurant."

Our old friend, Jenkin Lloyd Jones of the Tulsa Tribune, delivered what he called "an unrelieved, copper-bot- tomed, six ply, howl of calamity about the present moral climate of America." His jeremiad included a lecture to the assembled editors on our responsibilities therefore as the temporary custodians of Americas press." According to "Jenk," we have reached "the stomach-turnin- g point" and "its time we hit the sawdust trail. Mr. Knight Brother Jones finds we have an educational system where everybody passes, where the report cards are noncommittal lest the failure be faced with the fact of his failure where all proceed toward adulthood in the lockstep of togetherness." HE THINKS NEWSPAPER EDITORS have a responsibility to look into our educational institutions at the lower level, and if Johnny cant read by the time hes ready to get married, lets find out why. AND I AM GENUINELY DISTURBED that to Idealistic youth in many countries the fraud of communism ap-- . pears synonymous with morality, while we, the chief repository of real freedom, are regarded as being In the last stages of decay. So let there be a fresh breeze, a breeze of new pride, new idealism, new integrity. And here, gentlemen, is where we come in. "How about raising hell? Admittedly, EditorvJones threw down a strong challenge to his fellow editors. Much of what he said needed to be said. BUT AS I LISTENED INTENTLY to a good friend, a widely traveled and knowledgeable observed. It seemed to me that he was giving the shock treatment rather than a well balanced diagnosis. I AGREE THAT EDUCATIONAL Inadequacies, abuses of welfare, sordid books and plays may have brought us to the stomach-turninpoint" but I would vehemently trends are being neglected of these that corrupting any deny by the press. Moreover, and with fullwecognitlon that the Communists want other peoples to buy the Idem that we are in an advanced state of moral decline, I contend that the United States has sturdier characteristics and a stronger moral fibre than is generally recognized. Our moral climate may not be of the best but neither Is it being Ignored by the press or the people. THE SCHOOL CHILDREN I KNOW do study, their good grades. parents want them to study and they make Mostryoung people are far more serious In outlook than those of the generations which preceded them. Sure we have dirty books and sordid movies. And so on. I think we are living In an era of mystifying In a period of problems so Involved and awesome that they defy easy and ready solutions. .But this has always been so, as Mr. Jones well knowsTHE TULSA EDITORS EXHORTATION that we ought to "be raising hell suggests that the nations editors are either too tired or too cynical to bother with the countrys moral fate. This, I do not believe and neither does Editor Jones. But If he has succeeded In needling other editors, as he did me, Into writing this much on the countrys real and fancied Ills, I suspect he accomplished his mission at this convention. JOHN S.

What do you NO ONE mentioned It Paddy finished eating, stood and stretched, and went to the kitchen and hefted the garbage can. The three girls at the table looked at each other and burst Into tears. "Isnt It good," Muriel said, "to have daddy home again?" The connection - between happiness and garbage seems remote. But its there. On her first date with Paddy, he took her to Lundys Restaurant and when she finished the nesselrode pie, she smacked her lips and said to the waiter: "Start with the steamed clams again." THIS MARRIAGE was made In Heaven. Paddy loved food, too, and' he adored Tessie. He didnt have his own' shop in those days, but It didnt take long for him to get one. When television came Into being, he expanded the one window store, and took a second one. If he hadnt had a bad temper, Paddy would have owned a string of shops by now.

Paddy seemed more tolerant of opinions other than his own. He was well, the word mellow is exaggerated. A FEW NIGHTS ago, Kelly and I saw him in New York. He didnt see us, so we didnt bother to say hello. However, the waiter at our table knew Paddy and he pointed out that Murfree was dancing with Tessie. SO FAB AS I know, he engaged In no romance.
