5 WOMEN'S NEWS THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, SPRINGFIELD, MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1967 7. Dear Abby 1 Neighbor Picks Anything Handy By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: I am 54 and have been a widow for two years now. Abby, I'm no homewrecker, but. a married man has been coming by my house to see me lately. He and his wife have lived neighbors to me for over 20 years.
He's 60. no children, Home Jottings and claims hie and his wife never had much in common. They're just a couple of old pals. Well, his "old went north to visit some of her people, he invited me to his house. In the bedroom I found some greeting cards he had sent his wife, and I was astonished to find that they Red Sox Tremendous -Ask the Mets! By ALICE SCOTT ROSS Truth resounded with the thud of a bat meeting ball.
It screamed itself hoarse with each stolen base, with the compiction of a double play. It watched cannily at pitchouts. Enactment of Truth Folks thought they had come to see at ball game. They were seeing the enactment of truth. They.
now more than a million and a half strong, have surged through the gates of Fenway Park to watch the home team give. Really give. This was something now, so different and so thrilling that not merely the area but the whole country was taking Theart. Even Yankee fans. Only last year, so an article in a national magazine (Sports Illustrated, Aug.
21) mopinioned it was very rasy for a player to resign himself to the routine of comting to the ball park, dressing playing nine lifeless innings of ball and then returning home a loser again." Losers Earn Scorn A willing loser earns only scorn (regardless of pay checks) whether his livelihood comes from playing ball or driving a bus. Thus, scorn tinged all remarks as they related to this ball club. Now the word "easy" has been crased, obliterated. torn from player mental attitudes. To win is fine but the fight that makes winning possible is the more important and triumph is there even though a defeat is tallied.
Ask the Mets. Stern Discipline Don't think the huge crowds are breaking attendance records in Boston only because of pennant possibilities. Superficialities are gone, leaving behind the plain virtue of will to work coupled with an alertness to seize upon opportunities. Here are men who recognize that a game carries with it the need for stern discipline, dedication to their -indeed, finding the strength to exceed their best. It is evidenced in every facet of the play.
And these attitudes are contageous. Spectators cheer and stomp their feet while they recognize the beauty of a perfect double play, feel the drama of a speciacular catch, the thrill of beating out a bunt, the commedy of trapping a runner between bases. Home runs? Long hitters are expected to get thembut a pitcher who hits one or, to give a recent example, when Elston Howard wins' a game by that route, the impact is tremendous. Go. Red Sox, Go! The truth (could we say?) has set the Red Sox free.
They, as a team, are display. ing the spirit that built their country. that has given each individual a chance to prove himself. Whether a pennant is won isn't the real point. The expression is trite but it it is truthful, it's how the game is played that's at the crux of living.
Go. Red Sox, go! were the same identical cards he had sent to me. In his own hand he had written "Love." On mine he had written "ALL MY LOVE." When I asked him about this he said, "It's hard to find different re eting cards. They all run about the same." Abby, here's my question: Since he professed "all his love" for me, what business has he sending his wife the same cards? Do you really believe greeting cards are that hard to find? FULL OF DOUBT DEAR FULL: Your neighbor is obviously not the type to strain himself searching for anything. He just takes whatever is handy.
I suspect that he and his "old pal" have more in 'common than he said they had. DEAR ABBY: I am a 13- year-old boy who is a. little mixed up about something that happened. A girl classmate of mine called me up one night lastweek at 11 o'clock at night. My mother answered the phone and asked her what she wanted to talk to me about.
The girl said she just wanted to talk to me, so my mother hung up without calling me the phone. (I was home.) My mother told me it wasn't proper for a girl to call a boy. that she. had never done it herself. and any girl who called The boys was "boy crazy." to the girl.
explained dash apologized that her parents were out, that she was babysitting and just wanted someone to talk to. What is your opinion of this? MIXED UP DEAR MIXED: It is not proper for girl to call a boy. Girls who do aren't necessarily "boy crazy," but they lack judgement. And even though your mother disapproved of the girl's calling you, she should have called you to the telephone without questioning the caller. How has the world been treating you?

The dock master said no. The captain said yes. Pretty soon a uniformed cop showed up. That did it. We moved.
Later on we found space at a private dock and the man in charge told us that Frank Sinatra, Mia and all their friends had run into similar trouble when they tied up at the public dock on that celebrated cruise some time ago.

For an American eign fields over the last not events like the rise and World War or the collapse leave the greatest memories, War of 1936-39. Ernest Hemingway, Vincent Shechan, Andre Malraux, Pictro Nenni and so many others in so many lands with whom lived and worked through those fiery years all felt the same way. For many years in New York, American teachers and students have come to me to ask advice or information for the stream of books, doctoral theses and term papers being written on the Spanish conflict and these young people were unborn or babies in the 1930's.
Spain had enduring magic. Saw French Collapse It was prophetic, too.

Earlier, as a Times correspondent in Paris, 1931-35, I could see the seeds of French collapse being planted.

I heard Eduard Herriot say when he saw one of his many turns as premier ending, "is how to fall off the horse gracefully." The Maginot Line was the symbol of French futility in those days.
So was the hypocritical policy of "nonintervention" in the Spanish Civil War that the British in their heyday of appeasem*nt induced the Socialist Premier Leon Blum, of all people, to put" forward. Blum could always turn on the tears, so he wept and sacrificed Republican Spain. Cynical Game in Spain The strong men in those days were Adolph Hitler; his jackal, Benito Mussolini, and The Russian dictator was playing an utterly cynical game in Spain that neither Europeans nor Americans were acute enough to understand. Those three men were rehearsing for World War II. Stalin's policies even then had all the elements of what years later came to be knawn as the "Cold Today, Europe is caught in a vise of terror between two frustrated giants who are borne down by enough nuclear arme to write finis to every life on the globe.
