The next day I got cold feet. I know it's hard to justify, but I ask you, Kellerman would you have acted differently if the Saturday Evening Post had canceled my subscription Instead of yours?" "We'll never know, a n-skrit, and I hope I never have to make the decision. But I want you to feel what it's like to be on the bottom, without a magazine that you can call your own. I hope you suffer the way I did." "Please, Kellerman, If you won't give me Life, let me at least a a peek at the Reader's Digest." Kellerman smiled. "I don't know if the Digest would want you to or not It's not up to me.

After all, I don't make the rules." And with that, Kellerman laughed hysterically and slammed the door. TODAY IS the 19th day of 1969 with 346 to follow. on this date in history: IX 1807, Robert E.

MAIN AT MILLER AVE. Member Federal Inervt System usaue, says lie try to get Rhodesian By ART BCCHWALD Several months ago the Saturday Evening Post arbitrarily cut 3 million subscribers from its lists, and announced it was keeping only those readers who had the purchasing power as well as the status worthy of the new sophisticated SEP format. I reported at the time that those dropped from the list of subscribers suffered a grievous blow to their egos as well as to their positions in the community. If the Saturday Evening Post considered you a deadbeat, you didn't have much choice but to either pretend you were still getting tha magazine and live a lie, or move out of the neighborhood before anyone found out. One of the tragedies of the decision to cut its subscription list in half was that the Saturday Evening Post turned brother against brother, mother-in-law against daugh-ter-in-law friend against friend.

The people who got the Post after tha decision had been made lorded it over those who had been dropped from tha list, and it looked for a time as If tha Saturday Evening Post subscribers would rule the world. BUT THEN It happened. Without warning, the publishers of the Post decided to put the magazine out of business, and the 3 million elite suddenly found themselves without a magazine they could call their own. Those on top found themselves on the bottom, and those on the bottom (the ones who had been dropped arbitrarily back) found themselves riding high. I wish I could report that there was some Christian charity shown toward the SEP subscribers, but there had been so much bitterness in the past that when the Post announced it was going out of business, the "deadbeats" celebrated throughout the land.

Kellerman, who had been arbitrarily dropped by the Post last May because he only owned one car, was paid a visit by Sanskrit, whose subscription to the Saturday Evening Post made his credit rating in Chevy Chase as good as Jean Paul Getty's. AS KELLERMAN answered the door, Sanskrit said, "I don't like to ask you this, but I was wondering if I could read your Life Magazine when you're finished." "Not on your life, Sanskrit," Kellerman said. "You aeem to forget that only two months ago I asked to read your Saturday Evening Post and you said, 'I don't know if the Post would want you to or not. It's not up to me. I don't make the "You're not going to bear a grudge over an incident like that, Kellerman?
