By the way, what was the name they did choose? Sure has caught on, hasn't it? I understand one of the things that has been suggested to get White House employes is to offer "hazardous pay" that duty Arthur Herzog Jr. notes "After listening to President Nixon's Watergate speech on TV t'other night a viewer observed 'I wouldn't buy a first-hand car from the man in the Whitewash And why doesn't someone resurrect that only Nixon campaign slogan, "Nixon's the One!" because it sure has all sorts of new meanings today. It should go to the right of another bumper sticker that reads: "Who was that masked man?" ALL THOSE SUBURBAN schools using Cobo Arena and Ford Auditorium the arena has ten commencements set, and the auditorium 19 point up another example of the varied uses of the beautiful civic center complex by the ENTIRE community. Even their close friends have had a hard time telling twin brothers, Arthur and Milton Howard, apart. These well-known philanthropists, real-estate developers (part owners of the plush North Park Towers complex) have solved the problem.

One of them, Milt or Art, has grown a. mustache, but who knows which one? Those Yellow Pages commercials on radio are the funniest radio spots I've heard in many months. Love 'em and they keep getting funnier. AS A SIDEBAR to its cover story on Chicago Symphony's Sir Georg Solti, Time maga-eine Music Critic William Bender ranks the U.S. symphony orchestras thusly: THE TOP THREE Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra: HONORS Boston Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony; ON THE RISE Cincinnati Symphony (under Kalamazoo's Thomas Schippers "one of America's finest native-born Buffalo Philharmonic, Greater Miami Philharmonic.

Not a mention of the Detroit Symphony. That's very, very sad. The nation's fifth largest metropolitan area and not even a mention for its orchestra. In another totally opposite direction, a place as large as Detroit not having a major PGA golf, tournament is also a cryin shame. But I do understand Walter Burkemo at Hillcrest Country Club is making moves to get us a big national golf tournament this fall.

Still another national boost for Detroit could come from the soon-to-be-started Dollie Cole Show, a syndicated TV Show, which I understand may have a Breakfast With Dollie format, "live" from Sammy Lieberman's Raleigh House! It'll be good to see Bob Hynes back in action, as I'm sure Dollie will have Handsome Robert as her right-hand fella. I wonder if Detroit has an enforceable handbill law which would prevent street people from passing out flyers and notices, which concert-goers and pedestrians just discard, in-law of our award-winning crime reporter, Bill Schmidt, figures the Detroit Tigers should come up with a more realistic way of bringing relief pitchers in from the bullpen. Some teams use carts and some use cars. Doble's tongue-in-cheek method would be for them to come locked in the trunk of a Continental. Must be Schmidt's influence.

There's another Michigan lass displaying her all in a centerfold. Jeri Galloway points out that the may "Oui" magazine centerfold is Linda Harding of Grand Rapids. All of a sudden the photogs have discovered that Michigan girls do have good skin. One of the country's biggest fund-raisers for Cystic Fibrosis takes place Saturday night at the Grand Blanc Golf Course and Country Club near Flint when local athletes like Charlie Sanders, Frank Gallagher, Dave Bing and Nick Eddy and their wives gather for a style show and dance. Ed and Dollie Cole are the honored models and guests, with Al Ackerman serving as emcee St.

The vulgarian doesn't enjoy a story unless it has a happy ending; the esthete doesn't enjoy one unless it has a bitter, ending; both are equally false to the patchwork quilt of reality, which is a commingled fabric of both. It may be true that the weak will always be driven to the wall; but it is the task of a just society to see that the wall is climbable. There are many things that defy even the mightiest intelli-' gence; but there is no limit to the depths of stupidity. PAIN THAT IS IMPOSED by others is only a drop in the bucket (and far more tolerable) compared to the pain that is self-inflicted.

Teaching is a nobler profession than healing, for healing stops with the individual, whereas, as Henry Adams said, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." It is fatuous to demand a tax system that will operate with all -we have a right to ask is that the inequalities spring from the imprecise nature of the system, and not froni the calculated imposition of the administrators.

Nor do you seem to be aware that a healthy person's body temperature varies at different times of the day. So no one has a specific normal body temperature.

FALKNER: Nurses at the clinic where I take my children for checkups say I should teach them to brush their baby teeth, even when they haven't got all their baby teeth.

They all drop out whatever you do. Seems it's starting too early and a waste of time. ANSWER: Those baby teeth are important. They are sitting on top of the permanent teeth yet to come through. They have an important influence on this next stage of eruption.

So it is not a waste of time to look after them, even though they do fall out.

Three less "Juvenile Borrowers" would never be missed!" your mother. You and your husband should help her enjoy them, rather than make her feel guilty about not behaving according to the stereotype that you may envision for someone in her 70s. Too often, older people take too much to heart their chronological years, and by acting old, they prematurely encourage old age. According to Dr.

Alvin 1 a who has worked with many older people, those who espouse youthful views, who are hopeful and confident, make a much better adjustment and live longer than the so-called realists. Let your mother enjoy her own life and encourage her to continue to take- a vital interest in everything the world has to offer. She needs your love and interest, but also she needs to keep her freedom as long as possible. kind is not only unhealthy, it is abnormal. A professor of social welfare at the University of California has observed that people who see themselves as masters of their own fate cans best cope with age.

Those who believe they have some control over their own fate are gen-'erally more active and more adaptable to widowhood and retirement. At any age a person must keep a sense of purpose, to make plans for the future, just as your mother Is doing. Sometimes, women like your mother who have brought up families and perhaps cared for husbands after retirement, may feel a certain sense of relief once they find they are no longer saddled with responsibilities, These next few years really should be golden years for husband may have meant well, it is much better for your mother to continue to arrange her own future and to plan her own life. It sounds as if she is well adjusted and wants to continue to live a full life. This is healthy and may keep her young for many years.

Often, adult children if they have no children of their own, may unconsciously want to make their parents play the' role of children or dependents. The mentally adjusted old person will rebel against this patronizing treatment and will try as diplomatically as possible to put his, or her, grown children in their place. Many studies have shown that old people are much better off agitating than vegetating. Sometimes older people, when they are only with the old, or the ill, don't receive the stimulation they need to stay young. Segregation of any Dear Dr.

Brothers: My husband I are having a very difficult time trying to understand what we feel is the sudden ingratitude of my 70-year-old mother. After my father died last year, we decided that the best thing would be for my mother to move into a community where there are many people her age or older, so we arranged to get an apartment in such a complex for her. Instead of thanking us, she informed us that she and a lady friend had planned on taking some trips together and that this place we selected would cramp her style. Since my father's death she doesn't want to act her age at all, but seems to feel that she's a young swinger. B.R.

Dear B.R.: Your mother is quite right in wanting to keep her independence as long as possible. Though you and your Gay's Research; Melba's Mistake Why do they give retrospectives to everybody but my favorite Robert Taylor? Remember him in "Camille," "Waterloo Bridge" why, he played with every great star in the movies. How can I see more of my idol? E.T., Pasadena, Calif. Somebody agrees with you. Former NBC guide Jane Ellen Wayne met Robert Taylor before he died.

She spent seven years researching his life, interviewing his ex-wives and leading ladies. "The Life of Robert Taylor" will bow in Warner paperback this month. I'm absolutely fascinated with the Loud television family. Anything new in Santa Barbara? T.T., Woodside, N.J. Well, the big news is that Pat Loud (mother) is going to do her autobiography.

She has Sterling Lord, one of the hot New York literary agents, handling the deal. Pat is in New York now and Lord is going to put an enormous price tag on this book, which is expected to make quite a "Loud" noise. In the controversial movie "State of Siege," did such events really happen? How many U.S. representatives have been killed in this same manner? H.R., Baltimore. The film you mention was made in Chile but is about actual events in Montevideo; Uruguay, in July-August, 1970, when A.I.D.

official Daniel A. Mitrione was kidnaped and killed by guerillas. Even more spectacularly shocking U.S. Ambassador to the Sudan Cleo A. Noel, Jr.

A I see no reason why it wouldn't be sensible if you can keep the kiddies from driving your husband batty. In fact, it would be more satisfying, I would think, than most pursuits older women try. And with all the working mothers nowadays, there is a great need for what you propose.

If you would pitch the pur-. pose of your nursery more tb- ward a daytime play school or a day-care center, rather than toward an actual school, there would probably be no com: plaints in most communities about what training you had, Inquire at your city hall to see if a license is needed.
