Use The Classifieds Be sjp&toOODTFY, On Suffering Fathers and teachers, I ponder, "What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love. --FYDOR DOSTOEVSKY (1821-1881) * Russian novelist Suffering comes from three Quarters: from our own body, which is destined to decay, and dissolution, and cannot even dispense with anxiety and pain as dangersigssk; frcza iuc Ouuer world, which can rage against us with the most powerful and pitiless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations with other men. The unhappinem which has this last origin we find perhaps more painful than any other; we tend to regard it more or less as a gratuitous addition, although it cannot be any less an inevitable fate than the suffering that proceeds from other sources. --SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939) Founder of psychoanalysis SHUT-INS OF CHICAGO AREA TO BE REMEMBERED Northeast Illinois Production Credit association will sponsor a scholarship to the University of Illinois Agricultural Short Course to be held at Urbana from Feb. 5 to March 16. 1962.
