George Washington
>*
If there is one American whose courage
and fortitude during years of hardship and
discouragement gave the nation its oppor-
tunity to achieve greatness, through inde-
pendence, it was General George Washing-
ton. The nation’s first President, and the
General who won a war against Great Bri-
tain to make the colonies independent of that
nation, is rightly remembered each February
22nd and honored as the Father of His Coun-
try. ' ’
However, the proper observance of Wash-
ington’s birthday anniversary did not come
about overnight after his death. The colonies
and the states were slow to recognize the
magnitude of the accomplishment and con-
tribution of General Washington. Not only
had he won independence for the colonies,
he had served as the first President, and he
had set the precedent for a two-term limit for
Chief Executives.
Moreover, he had established the founda-
tion principles of American governments—
one of them being staying out of the affairs
of other nations. That policy was the wisest
course for the voune nation at that time and
this doctrine allowed the country to grow and
n^osper during its early years.
In the last years of his life and the first
years after his deatty, political feeling in the
country between the parties was so strong
that some of the observances suggested for
Washington’s birthday anniversary were de-
nounced as political demonstrations. Only
slowly did the nation come to recognize its
founder, and military hero, as his services to
his country merited.
After he died, on December 14th, *1799, the
Congress — then meeting in Philadelphia —
proposed that February 22, 1800, be observed
throughout the country with exercises in
honor of the first President of the country.
This congressional proposal was widely acted
upon and exercises were held in the princi-
pal cities. x
Thereafter, __ observances of Washington’s
birthday spread rapidly and. today observ-
ance of the anniversary of the birth of our
first President, and military hero, is general
throughout the nation. This is appropriate
since Washington is often under-rated both
as a general and as a President. Every Amer-
ican citizen owes as much to Washington, or
more, for his freedom and the independence
of his country as to any other American hero.

rarrying Religion Too Far
Early this month Hindus frpm all parts of
the world converged on a small strip of land
at the confluence of the Ganges and Kumma
rivers. The idea, a belief of the Hindu re-
ligion, is that bathing in the rivers spares
bathers the pangs of rebirth into a reincarna-
tion.
With all this we have no argument. Differ-
ent peoples, in different areas of the world,
have long had different religions and no one
can say that his religion holds all the answers
and that the other man’s religion is all wet.
In fact, this very tendency of the religious
fanatics, and narrow-minded, is the cause of
many wars and much suffering throughout
the history of the world.
On the other hand, the results of the mass-
ing on the Ganges in India was most tragic
and cost the lives of perhaps 1,000 Hindus.
The worst part of it is that many of the Hin-
dus perhaps risked death, believing that
death at this time was almost equivalent to a
direct passage to Heaven.
Therefore, when the exact hour that the
astrologers ‘had said would be the perfect
time to bathe arrived masses of Hindus sud-
denly began moving in bodies to the river
bank. Shortly before a procession of religious
officials and other higher-ups had proceeded
in a column to the bank of the river on ele-
phant.
As the mob gathered momentum and lost
control, they m^t the column of elephants
and officials returning, and soon a melee de-
veloped which left, in its wake, a carnage.
The onsurge of the erwds pushed helpless
hundreds into the water and drowned them.
After the scramble was over, fatalities were
estimated at a thousand. Another thousand
were injured.
Such stampedes and death have occurred
often at religious observances. While it may
be a tribute to the faith of some of those who
died, many of them undoubtedly died un-
willingly, and one cannot imagine a more
uselss sacrifice from either the human or
heavenly concept.

My husband was spoiled as a
child and I feel he had'a rather
unhappy time due to*a broken
home. He is very nervous, and
sometimes lacks understanding in
dealing with our son. We’ve had
many differences on this score;
but he loves us both very much
and wants us to hive a happy
home. We have considered divorce
many times but always patch
things up, hoping to make a go
of it.
Altogether it is an unhappy
situation for both of us, and the
question of “What to do?" pounds
at me every day. I truly want to
do what is best for all of us. Will

Her Solitude

DEAR E.S.: The time that hangs
heavy on your hands this past
year, since you quit your job,
hasn’t been time wasted, altogeth-
er. The uncongenjgl experience of
comparative solitude h®#s brought
you closer to the disturbing inner
truth about yourself than a bus-
tling social routine cwM. And to
lay hold on integral truths about
oneself is to move ift the direction
of self mastery and victorious
living. ,
At this writing, you evidently
want a verbal push towards psy-
chiatric help, which shows that
you have the capacity to be open-
minded about yourself. Your blind
fumbling, thus far, with a mutual-
ly frustrating marriage (that ap-
pears to be more of a shell than
a relationship) suggests that spe-
spect too, hence is a handicapping
rather than a helpful influence as
your husband..
Tbay Got Off '
To Poor 8U:t
The fact that you were sepa-
rated for two years, immediately
following the honeymoon, got the
marriage off to an unfavorable
start. By the very nature of life,
you were growing apart, in dif-
ferent circumstances affording
different experiences, when emo-
tionally you were most disposed

However, it is a hopeful sign
that you and Wayne are still to-
gether, after a decade pockmarked
by lengthy separations, dissatis-
factions and conflict; arid still de-
voted, despite disillusionment. As
for “what to do” next — follow

Motor Vehicles Commissioner
Cnarlgs F. Kelley denies that
drivers under voting age are a
menace. “Our records,’’ he said,
“do not Indicate that drivers un-j
dcr 21 are any worse than their
fathers and uncles. In fact, driv-
ers between the ages of 21 and
30 apparently have more than
their share of accidents.”
"'twTwss the ad; “For sale: One
husband. Assets: Thlrtylah, per-
sonable. intelligent, linguist, well-
read, ambitious, wonder father,
extremely affectionate. Liability:
Poor provider. $75,000 cash.’
She had several bids, the highest
by telephone, but the bidder re-
fused to Identify herself. The call-
er said she needed a husband and
was willing to take a chance on
the one advertised, sight unseen.
No other serious or worth-
while replies were received.
There Is a chance that in a
larger community there would
have been more bida and larger
tones. s
But when the husband of the
advertiser found out that his esti-
mated value had shrunk to $5,000,
his ego must have become pretty
badly deflated.
But even without the ad, I be-
lieve the average husband’s self-
estimate might go down consider-
ably if he sat down and analyzed j
his cash value on the basis of. I

Por instance, take the matter of
deterioration.
When you have lived with a per-
son for years, you get used to one
another. You are very apt not to
notice your husband’s falling hair,
his deeping wrinkles and rising
potbelly.
Every year he gets a little more
cantankerous, a little more criti-
cal, a little more demanding. You.
the wife, probably won’t notice it
—much—because »t’« a wearing-
down process, a tittle like the old
saying about the" drop cf water
that can wear down a stone.
The same applies to the wife.
She is probably much more con-
scious of aging than he. Bo she
uses more henna, more rouge,
more lipstick. All these cosmetics
don’t fool HER one bit. But she
knows that they’ll fool HIM
So the two live along in blissful
unconsciousness (or at least a good
imitation thereof) of “Tcmpus
Fugit”

But the world knows. Outsiders
count almost every falling hair.
They see every crowfoot, every
telltale sign of approaching age on
