Four THE IIAVSNWORTH TIM8S, Monday Evening, July 27,1964. Nowhere to Go but Down Name That Word The modern dictionary is a strange book when compared with one of a few decades ago. Many words that were frowned upon as improper or slang, have come into standard usage today. Frequently the spelling has been changed. In addition, tremendous advances in research pertaining to the atomic and electronib era have added to the ever-lengthening list of words in the English language.

Many of these are so strange that a dictionary is often essential to see if ft newly discovered word actually exists, or is a mis-print. This situation can cause trouble. How can a person look up a word if he doesn't know how to spell it? Especially when so many of us are bad spellers of many ordinary words. A British firm has come up with a novel idea. It has published a new book entitled "The Awful Spellers' Dictionary." While its application is designed to apply to English English, it might a good idea to publish such a dictionary dealing with American English.

For example, if you want to know how to spell the word "phenomenal" and all you can think of is the obvious spelling, "fenomenal," which you know is wrong, in this new dictionary you can look it up as "feno- menal" and find the correct spelling next to it. This seams to us to be a grate ad- vanse in lexycografy, even if we don't hapen to nead it ourselves. Success Is Where You Make It Have you ever thought what would happen if the garbage weren't collected? Or if the drug stores weren't kept open on Sunday or in the evenings? Or if the light and telephone companies didn't operate 24 hours a day; an occasional filling station didn't stay open at all hours; restaurants and snack bars didn't stay open beyond what most people consider the normal working day, or any of a number "of services weren't available during nighttime hours? All of these services are performed by inconspicuous people who seldom make the headlines. Very seldom is a bus driver nominated for the presidency of the United States or named ambassador to Great Britain or the United Nations. But those who clean the streets and buildings or stand guard over our lives after we have left our daily jobs or gone to bed, are just as vital a cog in the machinery of daily living as almost anyone else.

Let them fail to show up and see who's missed the most, they or the boss. The point is that the person who does his job as well as he possibly can, is willing and, above all, person is important. Important to himself, to his family and to society. The person who likes his work, finds contentment in it, and is needed, is a success. This is a good thought to keep in mind before envying the other fellow's job.

From the This Was The News TEN YEARS Charles G. Meehan, Chief of Staff at Ft. Leavenworth, will be honored next Saturday morning at a retirement ceremony in front of Headquarters, marking the termination of more than 30 years service as a cavalry and armor officer. Present for the 9 a.m. ceremony will be Maj.

Gen. Garrison H. Davidson, commanding general at Ft. Leavenworth. Mrs.

E. D. Cord, 216 Osage, left Friday for the West Coast, where she will spend three weeks visiting California, Washington and Montana. The Eagles Auxiliary will meet Wednesday, July 28 at the Eagles Hall. Group 6, with Birdie Powers as chairman, will have charge of the social hour.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS was reported today that the Leavenworth county WPA office at Tonganoxie has been closed and that several persons working there have lost their positions. The Leavenworth county WPA headquarters office was removed from Leavenworth city to Tonganoxie over a year ago. At the present time there are about 700 WPA men and women employed in Leavenworth county. Warden M. F.

Amrine, of Kansas state prison, unleashed a blast of criticism of former conditions at the Lansing' institution today, describing it as a "wide-open" community of gambling and drunken inmates, over which a clique of crooked officers watched with a benevolent and financial interest. Amrine made the assertions in a speech before the Rotary Club here today. Temperatures continue to remain in the upper 90s with little relief in sight. FORTY YEARS unlocked for conditions arise, Leavenworth housewives need not fear an unprecedented rise in the price of sugar, which today is retailing at most stores at twelve and a half pounds for a dollar. They must have killed all the frying chickens from Kickapoo to Coolidge, was the conclusion arrived at by one guest of the St.

Lawrence ladies at the chicken dinner served at Easton in St. Lawrence hall last night. In an endless line the ladies came carrying great platters of crisp browned chicken, just the right size for frying. The feast preceeded the annual bazaar, concert and dance. The Rev.

and Mrs. R. K. Pooley left today for Providence, R. where they will the month of August with friends.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS were current in the city last night of a fight having taken place at Camden Point, between our troops and the guerrillas, on Saturday. One report states that our forces lost six killed and thirteen wounded, and the bushwhackers somt twenty killed and about thirty wounded. A Paymaster left yesterday, with an escort of the 16th, for the purpose of paying the troops at the different stations on the Kansas river and to the West of us. There cannot be less than twenty-five or livery stables in the city. All are doing a good business, the supply hardly equals the demand.

This is a greater number than any city of the same size in the Union can boast of, and the stock of animals and buggies cannot be beaten in the West. All do a rushing business, and at rates of hire which must insure a satisfactory return. THE DAILY TIMES By D. R. Anthony Second Class postage paid at Kansas Building.

THE NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG Those Critters Don't Shoot Back By ANDREW TULLY WASHINGTON A beauteous young lady I encountered too briefly at a genteel boozing in Georgetown the other night is sponsoring a balloon-busting project which has my unqualified and enthusiastic approval. Joanie Has collected 15 well- heeled dames with $2500 to squander and shortly will lead them on a 30-day big game hunt-' ing trip Africa. This likely to be the female gender's greatest contrlbu-j tion to mankind since the It will debunk the tiresome leg-' end built up over the years by professional he-men with ostentatious hair on their chests that big game hunting is only for the male who is particularly rough, tough, brave and lusty and whose name, preferably is Ernest Hemingway. The implication has always been that the poor lions and other assorted beasties were conquered In virtually hand-to- hand combat, and that the bank cVrk was not fit material for such duels.

Year year, these heroes have returned from their safaris, THE WORRY CLINIC wearing new beards, spouting a few cuss words of Swahlli, and giving condescending pats on the head to lesser men who home where it was safe. "If pressed, such a male will admit he just happens to have 17,400 photographs in his pocket showing the brawny warrior with his foot atop the head of some seedy and very dead lion, or leering into the mouth of a rhino suffering from acute and permanent rigor mortis. However, the fact is there is nothing particularly dangerous about big game hunting any more. The professional hunter who guides these barrel-chested Nimrods sees to that. He leads them to their prey with the utmost precautions and is always standing by, ready to deliver the killing shot if anything goes wrong.

This is rare, since most big game rifle bullets will pierce the hide of a battleship. Pampering has reached such a point that the big game hunter doesn't even get any exercise to speak of. Ifc's carted off to the scene of carnage in a jeep or station wagon, usually equipped with a bar, and lie doesn't debark until the lion he's going to murder Is a conveniently short distance away. And, if their books tell the truth, the living is only slightly less luxurious than a weekend at Nero's, place. Native servants cook for them, mix their martinis, cut and-or dye their hair, pitch their tents, wash their clothes and, if desired, tuck them into beds complete with foam rubber mattressea and linens from Tiffany'a, or some such.

In that connection, I recall chatting with a skinny and spectacled corporal during the shelling of the beat-up barn in which we were huddling somewhere in the Saar during World War n. Shell fragments spraying the air, and this flat- chested, spindle-shanked kid was not impressed by the fact he had been recommended for the silver star for wiping out a machine-gun nest, "This is my last war," he noted moodily. "Come peace I'm gonna go to Africa and seo if I can't get me a 'dead elephant. Tliay tell me those don't shoot back." I am glad those dolls are going on this trip because it should prove once and for all that big game hunting is safer than crossing the street in Gary, Indiana. A clerk's job lacks the glamor, but I should like to inspect a big game hunter after he'd spent a d'ay behind a ribbon counter during the Christmas rush.

Some Mothers Are 'Brainwashed' Helen's case should be contrasted with that of Laverne, to be discussed tomorrow. For both have been unintentionally "brainwashed" till they are no longer normal wives and mothers. Scrapbook this case and send for' the booklet below, for these are common psychoanalytical problems. By DR. GEORGE W.

CRANE CASE T-432: Helen 31, is a worried housewife. "Dr. Crane," she began, "we have two children now In the early grades at school. I hate my children! I not saying that for shocking effect. "I'd gladly give them away to anybody who'd like to have them, but I don't dare for my hus- a wouldn't hear of it.

"But I am honest in saying they get on my nerves all the time. I just can't stand to have them around. "I don't love them and never have. "So am I insane or what? For I don't mind scrubbing floors doing housework but I just hate children, including my own. "I never wanted to nave any babies in the first place and I have not changed in my attitude since they were born," Puring the Korean war, the Communists adopted "brainwashing" methods on captured American troops.

And some of our boys succumbed tiH they gleefully parroted the Communistiio of hate for our American "free enterprise" system. In psychology we caill "brainwashing" by the technical term "conditioning." It means that our human emotions can be reversed so that what a normal person may love, he can also be trained to hate. "Yes, Dr. Crane," you may protest, "but no Communists brainwashed Helen, did they?" No, Helen's brainwashing occurred when she was a child and was Inadvertently produced by her parents. For her mother was a neurotic female who feared childbirth and berated her husband constantly after she became pregnant with Helen.

And after Helen was born, her mother refused to have any more children. Meanwhile, Helen was reared as a spoiled, "only" child, who never had to share any of the family spotlight with any brothers or sisters. Life was a calm, orderly affair, too, so she was not accustomed to the usual noise of beating drums, shouting, fist fights and other incidents typical of the normal family. Helen never had any close friends throughout school for she was largely a "loner," due to the unintentional brainwashing at home. When she married, she relished the peace and quiet of her own home, unbroken by children's noise.

Then her children were born, also against her wishes, for daughters subconsciously become brainwashed with their mothers' neurotic attitudes. So Helen looked on her own bsbies as intruders. They are who steal her husband'! attention till Helen cannot monopolize the spotlight. You laymen may not always realize it, but many parents become jealous' of their own youngsters and often don't want them to have normal fun and dates. Helen's case is one where hypnosis can profitably be invoked for a faster reverse brainwashing.

Meanwhile, her husband can try to attach more fun and ego- inflation to Helen as a result of her being a Send for my booklet, "The Death Wish," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents for it explains case more fully, Always to Or. to of Times enclosing a long stamped, addressed and 20c to cover typing and printing costs whan you send (of OM of bis booklets.
