Valentine's is not all it's cooked
up to be„ if you ask nie. Usually
people don't take time out and
really study things up close, but if
they were to study Valentine's they
would get a shock, but good, I;
.think. ■ i *
I'he popular. fable has it that: ■
'Valentine's is a day. of lace and
Jbig red hearts and love and kisses, j
but this is the biggest bunch of :
propaganda I ever heard, and- I ;
intend to prove it. All Valentine's
doe's is cause trouble. i
"Let's take a close look at somt
;actpal case histories to illustrate
my . point. Of course the name;
have been changed to protect the ;
guilty. I

Case 1. The case of Maybelline !
Marblebprry and Jim Iiod Mc- ^
Cleesley. Maybelline and Jim Rod
were a coiiple who had been going
■together for a Jong time, months,
maybe even a year. They got along
ju,st fine, because they had a lot ;
in common, like their wild African ;
sheep's head collection, and their \
similar liking for Alaskan Eskimo ,
. jazz. . |
Then along about the first of.
February, something , happened to j..
M_aybelline. Her eyes got glared,
she.got a furti'ye'.}6ok about .her i
when they wandet-ed through candy!-
stores, and she no- longei\''s.eemed.|
' to-fep.l the beat'when they'listened
to, their favorite' record,. "■ 'Sho
' Snow,. Eskimo": by the Four Seals.
JLm Rod didn't know, what to
think, but figured she would snap
out of it in time. Little did he
realize that his romance had en-
tered the "first stage of Doom.

Uoles ha did something quick,
and that something would have
been give Ijfaybelline a Valentine,
' or box of candy, or some other
goodie, Sweet Love would . soon
fly away. But' of course he forgot,
a,nd now Maybelline has married
Alfredo Arflemooater. and changed
her taste from Eskimo jazz to
"chamber music by the New Zealand
-string quartet.
And Jim Rod is ekinv out a
meager existence, pining away
from love for Mavbelline, and
cursing' Valentine's Day. .
'See! Nothing but tears, black
crepe.: and sad sorrow.
Letls look at another case in
which "Valentine's" has- ruined a
life, scarred it forever.

''Case 2: Bertricia Achkenber-
steintr! Bertricia Mae was a Ger-
man immigrant who settled in the
little, town of Stefenvil, in the
State of; Tfejas; in the Status /Uni-
ted! Bertricia Mae could , neither
write nor speak the language here,
nor did sh« have any knwwledge of
the'.local customs of the land. So
"• when-she got a card through the
mail (from a neighbor trying . to
be-'friendly) she about panicked.
Because on this card was a pic-
ture of a huge red heart with a
: ftjlg'«'*.'r stuck through it and bloody
blood dripping down the front of
the im fd. Now any native would
haye lai'iwn immediately it was a
Valentine, and the stabbed heart
merely signified love and affec-
tion.
But Bertricia Mae thought It
was a threat against her life. She
was afraid to leave the house. She
rTever spoke to anyone, developed
a terrible inferiority complex, and
died years later without learning
