PG. 2, SEC. 2 f PLAINDEALER - AUGUST 3, 1967 Treasure Of Knowledge Centuries ago when the art of printing was developed the wfey was opened for the spread of knowledge among the masses. Up to that time, when Guttenberg first used movable types, information and intelligence belonged to a very exclusive society. It was presumed in that far-away day that the increased production of bodes1 would make available to every man and woman the opportunity to learn and to know. It was presumed, also, that men and women would be eager to assimilate the accumulated knowledge of the ages. Surveys have indicated, however, that nearly halfof' all Americans do not read books. This despite the fact that more than half of our adults live within a mile of a public library! Presumably many Americans are satisfied with what they know. Yet the great thinkers of the ages have all agreed that curiosity and the thirst for learning, for Rood books, was their greatest pleasure and the sure road to intellectual attainment and rewarding knowledge. The McHenry library has a treasure of adventure, pleasure and knowledge, all of which can be realized simultaneously, which is yours for the asking. Try It On Youngsters There is increasing comment in the newspapers on the growing crime wave across the nation. You read of pitched battles of various groups with police in the streets or on college campuses. It is now reported that children in the 11 to 16 age group commit half of all property offenses, and of all criminals arrested the most frequent age is 15. According to an AP dispatch from Los Angeles, a judge has recommended fo~ women an arsenal ranging from a six-inch hatpin to a derringer for use in protecting their lives and virtue. Of course, you can't carry them concealed, she said. She felt a hatpin would not be construed as a concealed weapon. In the meantime, to combat the alarming rise in teenage crime, the President is urging federal and local authorities to take action. While all this is going on, it is time for parents to take their children in hand and begin to teach them to keep their hands off other people and other people's property. The same thought could be repeated at the opening of school classes each day. This simple little admonition could eventually save untold suffering and grief for children, parents and the public.

For them and others of our beloved dead, we pause to remember .... on .Memorial Day. The cumulative total from those immortal centuries cannot equal the staggering number of lives taken by the drivervehicle combination! Will we remember this fact, and act accordingly, or rush out blindly thinking it can happen to the other, guy but not us ? Memorial Day means a trip to the cemetery to honor our dead, but what about the rest of the day? People will jam the roads with automobiles, some fast and some slow, and all are potentially dangerous if you are not driving defensively. Watch out for the "stuntmen" and "speed-demons," like all show-offs, they enjoy a crowd. Don't forget that most every accident could have been ^voided. There is a cause and effect. Will you remember to respond properly if you are faced with a life or death decision?

One of the longest solitary sea journeys of recorded history took place between June 22 and October 14, 1954, when William Willis, of London England, floated on a raft from Peru, South America, to Samoa, South Sea Islands, just for the fun of it. Nancy had an entirely wrong notion about God, as well as modern "husband hunting." And millions of teen-agers need to imitate the superb strategy used by Cinderella, who left her glass slipper on purpose, in lieu of a modern telephone number! Girls, gay conversation beats cosmetics in holding a boy friend's interest, so send for the booklet below. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE D-521: Nancy T., aged 30, is a problem. "Dr. Crane," she spoke angrily, "I don't believe in God any more! "For I am an atheist! "This shocks my father for he is a clergyman, but I feel there is no God. "And Pll tell you why. "I have prayed every night for over ten years that God would bring me a husband. "But I am no nearer marriage now than when I was 18, so why should I believe fin God?" TEAMWORKERS WITH GOD God doesn't expect to do all the work to answer our prayers! Instead, he wants us to become teamworkers and help solve mn: own problems. "God helps those who help themselves," was thus the wise maxim of our pioneer ancestors. So I very bluntly shocked Nancy be saying: "Nancy, you have been a "pernor ante" Christian. For you expect to loll around, eating candy, and expecting the Lord to bring you a Prince Charming. "But you are 20pounds overweight and you know it! "Why didn't you go on a diet as per my offer in your newspaper of that booklet that would have slenderized you in a few weeks? "Furthermore, you havent joined my 'Compliment Club' which is a quick way to win popularity and boy friends, v "Besides, you haven't ordered the booklet that would have shown you how to carry on gay conversation and put a boy friend at ease. "Nor have you ordered the 'Tests for Sweethearts,' by which you could have eliminated many faults and cultivated virtues that modern young men prefer in the girls they expect to marry. "Nancy, God hasn't failed you! You have simply failed God by refusing to help Him get you happily married!" JOLTS HELP In cases of hysteria and la^y "coasters," a jolt sometimes is good psychology. ^ Nancy winced as ^talked, for she knew she had Voided doing her half of the job. Besides, your Prince Charmings don't know where you girls are located if you don't get out into action and attract their attention; then hold it by smiles, compliments to the boy and gay conversation. Even Cinderella had to leave a "calling card" in the form of her glass slipper! It served in lieu of a modern phone number! Nowadays, you girls must go "husband hunting," which means you must go where the game is likely to be found. But don't whirl your matrimonial lariat too obviously, for the modern male is growing more skittish all the time, due to the zooming taxes that gobble up big slices of his pay check._ A classy chassis with a slick paint job will "attract" the eye XfficMTiiS OPEN -- 7 days a week ROLLINS RD.
