Ethel Merman's "serious" acting bow in "Reflected Glory" was, by unanimous vote of other critics, awful. We wouldn't know; we were too engrossed at that time in "Joey," a touching little yarn bout a stripper and a "dope." i Jackie Gleason decided he could hot star in his own story, "The of St. Emergency," for "Studio One," so a fellow comedian, Red Buttons, volunteered.

Smart man, Gleason. Smart for staying away. i If nothing else, "St. Emergency'" was offbeat. So was "The Undiscovered Country," starring Cyril Ritchard as a heel who wouldn't even say a kind word for the dead.

Ritchard was very good as a no-good. But the TV event of the week perhaps of the season occurred: with the "Kraft Television Theater" production of. Walter Lord's current, best-seller about the sinking of Titanic, "A Night to vThis wove 133 live and film epi- goaes, "im actnrs nnH 31 cpTs inrn a drama of. almost unbearable intensity. It made history vivid and exciting and was further confirmation of our credo way back in the opening paragraph.

To broaden your intellectual horizons, all you have to do is flip that switch. Dortant role in mv business and 1 give me a chance to taper off. I have a very prosperous retail busi ness that has enabled me to send two daughters and my son through college. If the business were maintained, I should be able to draw enough for retirement, and still leave plenty for any of the children who are willing to work in it. I had to wait for my son until he finished college, took some postgraduate work and then served in the Army.

Now he has been back home less than a year, and has spent very little time working in the store, he has announced that he does not like it and that he would prefer to get a teaching job. Under the circumstances, I feel I would like to sell the business and get a little fun out of life while it is still possible, but my wife wants me to nold on a few years more in the hope that our son will change his mind. Help is very hard to get in our community, and I have to put in long hours. I feel it is too much a hardship to continue this business when my son refuses to help. MRS.

S. W. T. I feel that there are reasons for our son's attitude and that he will change if we give him time. I hate to see this business abandoned in a passing mood of disappointment.

I suspect our son is not in love with teaching, but is merely eliminating himself from his father's path because he has different ideas and fears he may have a quarrel with My husband has run every detail of this business for many years, and he doesn't seem to take kindly to any ideas unless they originate with him. The trouble is that our son is7" like his father, full of energy and ambition, but he is afraid of conflict. If I can persuade my husband to hang on to this business, I am hopeful that I can maneuver him into taking a long vacation and inducing our son to step in for the vacation period. If this awakens his interest in the business, he may want to remain permanently. THE COUNCIL: The mother has put her finger on the real problem, but her solution is too clever to come off.

She would do far better to employ less indirection and more candor. This is not an uncommon situation between father and son, and can easily be resolved. She should induce the son to reveal his true feelings, first assuring him that he is not a monster for wishing to try out his own ideas. She should then try to persuade her husband to trust his son more and, perhaps, to gamble more on his son's ability and judgment. He should not be tricked into taking a vacation; he should be persuaded to come to a real understanding with his son for an orderly transition of responsibility.

All concerned here are exag gerating the problem. Bring it out into the open, because it will be necessary in the future for both father and son to make conscious efforts toward adjustment to each other.

Four stamps have been removed from the Philatelic Agency list, leaving only erne commemorative available issued prior to 1955. The removals also indicate that the 1933 Presidential set is rapidly on its way out. The 3-cent Eastman and 3-cent Lewis and Clark commemoratives Hampshire, Soo Locks, Atoms for Peace. Fort Ticonderoga and Mellon, and the 8-cent Rotary International. Also removed from sale were the 4- and 5-cent Presidentials.

These are the first of the low-value values U. S. HISTORY ON STAMPS Another of the great American writers of the Civil War period was James Russell Lowell (1819-1891). Lowell initially was not inclined towards writing, but he early came into contact with Hawthorne, Emerson, Poe, Whittier and others. Lowell's writing was witty and sometimes satirical.

He was best known for his "Bigelow Papers" and "The Vision of Sir Launfal." He was featured on the 3-cent Poets stamp of the 1940 Famous Americans series (Scott's No. 866, Minkus' CM208).

THE COIN' WORLD "Fugio" cents were first struck by the Federal Congress in 1T87. Minting was done by James Jarvis, following designs specified by Congress, and apparently influenced by Benjamin Franklin. The obverse (face) featured a sun dial and the words "Mind your busncss." while the reverse featured 13 links (the original States) encircling "We Are One." There are four forms of this famous coinage. One had "States United." another had "United States" and thin rays; a third had club-like rays, and the fourth had "United States" in two lines. The last form is the most valuable.

Summerfield has announced completion of a 35 mm. filmstrip, in color, relating the progress of a stamp from the original design through the engraving and printing, to the finished object.

THE STAMP CLASS Every so often there is a spurt in queries about the value of stamps issued in 1492 and 1732, and so forth.
