Somehow I never figured tea drinkers as potential
militants
They always seem strrt of proper. I’ve never seen
u 'tea drinkers pour their tea into a saucer and blow on
it. And I cannot ihiagine a tea drinker sitting around a
campfire gulping a mouthful of tea from a tin cup,
gargling “it, and then throwing the dregs from the cup
into the fire.
But if my mail is to be believed (and there’s a first
for everything), tea drinkers are cuing up for a
revolution. A tea sipper in Salisbury, Md., writes,
“I’m sick of being discriminated against. We’re never
offered a second cup of tea like coffee drinkers, and
. on airplanes the tea drinkers are served LAST!
“And even in homes, the hostess serves coffee and
when you ask for tea, I can see it written all over her
face. She’s hoping you’ll say, ‘Oh, don’t bother.’”
From Santa Barbara, ’Calif., another tea tippler
writes, “People have no consideration Jor us what-
soever. They never have lemon, yet they have cream
and sugar for coffee drinkers. I’ve even been to
meetings where they say, ‘If you drink tea, bring your
own tea bag.’”
booking expert James Beard has long carried the
banner, for tea drinkers. He calls them the down-
trodden minority in this country and points out that
while coffee drinkers enjoy their steaming cup in
restaurants, the tea drinker must face the pitiful sight
of a pot of lukewarm water and a solitary teabag by
the side. Or even worse, the dejected bag floating in a
cup of tepid water. - .
Perhaps the most debilitating plight of the tea
drinker is called the soggy tea bag experience. What
do you do with the bag when it has strained itself into
your cup?
I think we must take tea drinkers seriously. With
the way things have been going in this country lately,
I Wouldn’t be surprised if there is a decline in mixed
marriages (coffee vs. tea drinkers). Look for “Thank
You For Not Dunking" signs in restaurants. Look for
signs in department and specialty stores: “Tea
Spoken Here.” I am predicting classes at the Schick
Center for people who want to get off coffee and into
tea and warnings on coffee cans that say, “Coffee
may stain you dentures permantly. Drink tea.”
All I know is if Mrs. Olsen pitches to a born-again
tea drinker, I wouldn’t want to be responsible for her
safety.

in young people and have
lyothing whatever to do with
an aging mind, swone has to
use a little discretion in decid-
ing what's going on
In any case, about one out
of five people with, these
changes that are commonly
called senility really have an
underlying medical problem
which should be treated
Intermittent periods of confu-
sion may be associated with
low blood sugar. An inability
to provide adequate oxygena-
tion to the brain can be the
problem. That can result from
a variety of circulatory dis-
eases involving, the heart
itself or from a plug of arter-
ies going to the brain that
interfere with blood floyv
There is such a long list of
things that . can cause this'
problem that I'm convinced
that a person who has such
symptoms needs'to be seen bv
af least three, differed
specialists. These include a
specialist in internal medicine
to look for such problems as
low blood sugar or . other
metabolism defects: a neurol-
ogist who will look for prob-
lems related to poor circula-
tion to the brain and Various
diseases of the brain. And,
finally Snd quite important, a
psychiatrist who will be able
to pick up such things as a
depression
Many middle-aged people
have a change in mental func-
tion because they're really
depressed. The depression can
usually be treated so it really
is a tragic error when a per-
son who has a depression is
labeled as being senile and
isn't properly treated.

Buffalo "Observes" Fillmore Birthday
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — It was the 180th birthday of the
!3th President of the United States. And a handful of people in
Buffalo — his hometown — did very little to mark the oc-
casion.
♦
The University of Buffalo conducted a graveside ceremony
Monday, honoring Millard Fillmore more for his service as
the university’s first chancellor than for anything he did as
President.
Last year, things got out of proportion when University of
Buffalo political scientist Richard Cox was quoted as using
the term “the savior of the nation” in eulogizing the former
president.
In fact, most historians blame Fillmore for helping to *
trigger the conflicts that made the Civil War inevitable. He
signed the various bills known collectively as ‘‘the Com-
promise of 1850.” The bills included the Fugitive Slave Act,
which penalized anyone who helped a slave escape and
aroused new anti-slavery sentiment in the North.
Cox says he was referring to Abraham Lincoln as the
nation’s savior. But more than one reporter was fooled since -
no public address system was used at the graveside service.
Cox says history has been too harsh on Fillmore, con-
tending the former president was “a hard working, honest,
reasonably intelligent man who was President during a time
-of great stress.”
Will teens say yes
to national service? -
—“--—- ■■
vBy ROBERT WALLACE, Ed.D. /
Copley News Service
, ~f. '
After high school graduation, a young person usually
heads in one of two directions —■ college or the working
world Syon, however, there may be an additional path open
to teens: Voluntary national service, says Harris Wofford,
co-chairman of the Committee for the’Studv of National
Service.
To many young people, voluntary national service means
only one thing: heading for the nearest military headquar-
ters to join the armed forces. Not so. There are a host of
civilian programs now in the works which come under the
heading of national service. Some of these include rehabili-
tation of neighborhoods, hospital clinic work, care of the
elderly and children, conservation of national parks and
forests and tutoring of low-achieving students.
What would bo the terms-of the agreement if a young
person signs up for national service? One year of communi-
ty , environmental or military service, with a moded living
allowance and post-service scholarships.
Just how willing young people would be to sign up is still a
big question.- but Wofford feels that teens may be more
ready to respond to national service than skeptics think) A
special Gallup poll of teen-agers shows that 71 percent favor
voluntary national service and 22 percent said they would
definitely volunteer.
A Gallup poll of college students found 82 percent in favor
of such a system, with 19 percent definitely willing to join
and 30,pereent possibly interested.1 '
“Today, young people are generally given little chance to
be more than consumers of goods and service," says
Wofford ‘‘Yet there is so much they could do to meet the
needs of the nation if their talents and energy were put to
work.”
Personally, 1 feel the program has tremendous potential.
So often, teens are confused as to direction when they
graduate from high school. The national service could
provide the incentive to set goals. At least it would give the.
teen time and remove the pressures of making an immedi-
ate deeistSn on “what will I do with my life.”
