BY JIM FITZGERALD
which I will not argue. But then
this insidious propagandist added:
"Juror Patrick Haverty had
the easiest time of it. He was
the LONE BACHELOR in the
group." (The caps are mine; so
is the neck pain.)
There is a. one-sided war
going on in the world. All the
married people are fighting to
get all the single men down the
middle aisle in a rented suit.
For some reason I don't understand,
the bachelors are not
fighting back with vigor. As a
result, Joe Single is easy prey
for the nice couple around the
corner who know this lovely
girl who Joe should meet, he
really should.
So Joe meets her, under the
influence of free steaks and
booze. His married friends
show off their pretty children,
well-bribed to behave for the
first time since Christmas eve.
Mr. and Mrs. talk glowingly
about delicious dinners, Sunday
papers read in bed, and a light
in the window. No mention is
made of mortgages, dirty diapers
or chocolate fingerprints
on favorite books. The usual
sighing remarks are made about
"How do you stand it all alone
in that tiny apartment over the
poolroom, Joe?" In no time,
the guy is hooked.
And then Joe can say: "I
never knew what living was until
I got married, but then it was
too late."
I am not here to knock marriage
per se. It is an ok type
of life and I wouldn't sell my
family for any amount of swinging
freedom. Lease or rent,
maybe, but I would always insist
on retaining ownership.
God, in his almighty wisdom,
invented Love, a formless substance
which somehow cements
the most unlikely relationships
and can make a husband forget
any number of undies soaking
in the bathroom sink or sticky
candy in his favorite chair.
But it is time that some married
man told Joe Single that
he is not necessarilyanunfortunate
slob, merely treading
water until some doll comes
along to show him what swimming
really is. As a man always
interested in seeing a pat
on every back, and a kick in
every seat, I am volunteering to
answer such "poor bachelor"
nonsense as planted in the Hoffa
trial story.
Why was it easier for Patrick
Haverty, rather than the married
jurors, to be isolated for
6 weeks? The average reader,
well brainwashed by the unfair
climate which prevails, would
answer: "Well heck, those married
people were lonesome for
their spouses and children. Patrick
didn't have anyone to be
lonesome for, so he didn't mind
being cooped up."
Such an attitude assumes that
there is little in this world to
interest Joe Single. Despite
being married 132 years, I can
remember slamming my front
door carelessly at 3 a.m.; I
know that Joe doesn't have to
go home when the library
closes. I could, in fact, list
a countless number of goodies
available to Joe but I won't, as
I hate to make myself cry.
It is not my intention to tell
Joe Single what he should do;
only what he shouldn't. And the
biggest thing he shouldn't do is
fall for the malarkyhis married
friends pass out with the dinner
invitations. Keep eating in
restaurants, Joe. You may think
it costs more but you don't
know what costs are until you
push an overflowing cart up to
the A & p checkout counter.
Joe shouldn't be rushed. A
nice age to get married is 30;
almost as nice as 40. And Joe
shouldn't worry about the beach
being swept clean of pebbles.
New ones come in with every
tide.
There is much to be said
for living alone, making your
own decisions, and watching the
clock for no one except yourself.
Such a life affords a peace
and solitude; a time for quiet
thinking and reading; a type of
quiet contentment rarely available
to the married man.
Unless he gets jury duty.

Heating Has Key-
C-2 ***
To Quick Change
For Interiors
Nine out of 10 home improvement
projects will require
heating.
With this fact as a basis,
homeowners planning improvements
can make the
job easier by considering
heating at the outset, suggests
the National Better
Heating-Cooling Council.
Updating the heating system
can work wonders in an
older home, with no structural'
changes needed. Modern
hydronic (forced hot
wafer) baseboard heating
panels update room appearance
and add decorating
freedom, too.
Because baseboard heating
panels are thin (they protrude
only a few inches from
the wall) and are mounted
at ankle height, much space
is liberated, for furniture
can be placed against the
heating panels without fear
of scorching or of blocking
off the heat.
This warm-but-not-hot
characteristic of hydronics
also permits draperies to
hang to floor, carpeting to be
laid wall-to-wall.
Evening-
An experimental Tuesday
evening worship service has
been approved by the Session of
the First Presbyterian Church.
The evening services, scheduled
Aug. 18 and 25 and Sept.
1 at 8 p.m., will duplicate the
Sunday worship theme for the
benefit of those unable to attend
church Sunday mornings.
Worry kills energy, purpose,
vitality-and produces nothing.
