SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, February 6, 1956 How To Get Yourself Disliked (Editor's Not: Daring the 30 years Jimmy Hatlo has been drawing "They'll Do It Every Time," he has been deluged by readers with examples of man's inhumanity to man, which makes him, whether" he likes it or not, an authority on the subject. With a Up of the Hatlo hat to his contributors, the artist and author has drawn on this rich background for this series of six articles, spotlighting the pests who annoy the most people from coast to coast.) By JIMMY HATLO If I were a philosopher (and thank heavens I'm not:), the one thing that would keep me in a state of perpetual wonderment is the constant cussedness we exhibit toward one another in our every day life. Recently, leafing through a batch of cartoons I've drawn during the last few years, I thought what a peculiar thing it is that my living, in part, depends on the fact that most people are inconsiderate and mean to one another. Out of the 700 letters a week containing suggestions for "They'll Do It Every Time," morethan 90 per cent deal with this aspect of human personality. i THE SLOB BOWLS over children and old ladies in his charge to get through the revolving door.

So I'm . beginning to feel like an authority on the subject. Represented by Type Today and for five more days I'll discuss the six easiest ways to get- yourself disliked. Of course there are many more ways than just six, but for the sake of classification -we'll lump them into six groups. Each group is represented by a type. High on the list is the slob type. In my cartoons he's called Jerkley, Winesap, Carbolick or such other unflattering names that occur. Now the slob doesn't make things . tough on his family, friends, neighbors and business associates out of malice. He makes life hard for them chiefly because he is too dumb or too lazy to give a thought to anyone but himself. The slob isfthe guy who backs the family sedan down the drive way until it. straddles the side walk, and then proceeds to wash it with the hose. His neighbors have to walk out in the street to get around it and, at that, probably wind up with wet feet. Throws Trash He's the guy who drives to a high bluff overlooking a nice bathing beach and throws over boxes of trash so. disgusting that the rubbish collector, wouldn't take them. He doesn't look to see if anyone is, for instance, having a picnic down below. If they are, tough. He's' the guy who bowls over little children and old ladies in his charge to get -through a re volving door and then, once out side, stands blocking the en trance while he lights a cigar. Not all slobs are he. There are she-slobs too. Sometimes they even come in bunches. Like the ladies club that takes a block of 12 seats at the most popular play in town and then sets up such a chatter that other play goers for .eight, rows around can't hear the lines. One dame wants to use up what's left of thaclub treasury to hell around at El Clippo after the theater. Another is set on the Blue Oys ter. 'And so right there they have a club meeting. No won der actors have ulcers. And of course there's the slob who stands for five minutes buzzing for " the elevator. It comes. It's crowded. So what does he do? Right. He decides that then is the time to put on his raincoat. .Result: two pairs of broken spectacles, one shiner and assorted contusions. Well, you get the idea. If you really want to acquire a fine case of social B.O., be a slob. It's easy. Next: The Cheapskate. (C) 1956. King Features Syndicate, Inc. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Mi "VII- imTt'm't Hollywood (U.R) What hap pened, to the marriage of movies and television? TV executives agree that TV, the one - time child bride, doesn't need the movies so much any more. When tele vision first invaded the living room, AUne Mosby the Hollywood studios regarded . it as a '. pest that might go away if they kept their eyes closed. Now the stand in es on the success ladder have switched. . Film studios plunged into TV last fall with fanfare-r-but a look at the ratings reveal many of the studio shows didn't fare so well. "The MGM Parade" is reported by trade papers to be on the verge of losing a sponsor because of the low rating. The studio, trade reports say, was asked to change the format of the program. Series Refilmed xwenuem uentury-Fox re- filmed some of "My Friend Flicka" series at CBS' sugges tion. Some of the "Warner Pre sents" programs were not raved over by the critics. ? The Screen Directors Guild series of half-hour TV dramas was called on the carpet by its sponsor because, "They promised us big stars and top stories and we didn't get them." On the "old movie" front, studios may have been left in the dust. At first they refused to sell their backlog of old films to TV, reportedly waiting until the price was high enough. Deadlock Broken Recently RKO broke the dead lock and dumped its back pro duct into TV. Producer David Selznick sold his films to tele vision; Columbia Studio has some for sale. Other studios are expected to follow suit. But it may be too late. "We're not negotiating for any studio backlog," says Al Scalpone, West Coast program head for CBS. "A while back TV could have used those old films, if sold at a reasonable price. But now we've developed our own shows. ' "In fact, it's good they didn't sell their backlog of films when TV began," he noted. "I made TV develop faster. If we had had many hours of programming with feature films we might not have had to work so hard to de velop new shows." Former Official Says Pledge Wasn't Kept ' Washington ttJ.PJ A former State department official charged Saturday that the Eisen hower administration has failed to keep its pledge to clean up "the mess in the department Bryton Barron, who said he was recently "forced" into re tirement after 30 years service, made the allegation in a state-. ment : distributed to n e w s agencies.

(Medford Heating Oil Dealers) Live You Need Not Feel Like A Fifth Wheel to a Wagon A widow often feels that she is a "fifth wheel to a wagon" when she is with married couples. She need not feel this way. (Q) "I am a widow and spend most of my evenings alone, watching television or reading. ' I 'go out j to F- S&!!5''! friends' homes - 13r H when I am in t vited, join I V?Z ' clubs, go ' to jr church, and f I try to keep instead of sit ting home be moaning the fact I am all alone. But, I Dr. Hurlock always feel out of things when with other people who have their husbands with them. I have yet to meet any man who would come up to the standard of my husband, and I am not looking for another husband. But, I get tired of eating alone and of always feeling like a 'fifth wheel to a wagon' when I am with other people. Is there any way of correcting this?" Mrs. J. P. (A) Yes, there is a way of correcting your feeling about being a "fifth wheel to a wagon" and that is by changing your at titude toward being alone. I am sure none of your friends or people you meet at clubs or church feel you are a "fifth wheel" nor do they treat you as such. Difficulty Overcome It is, of course, somewhat dif ficult to go to parties where there are married couples, but this difficulty can be overcome by .asking one of your friends By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. if she and her husband will pick you up on their way to the party and take you with them. "Once you are there, your hostess will see to it that you are not ne glected. - As a widow, you can easily entertain your married friends at your home, even if very simp ly. Invite them for a buffet sup per the night there will be an especially good television pro gram to watch or invite them for the program and refresh ments afterwards. Many widows make the mis take of giving up entertaining after their husbands are gone. This is a serious mistake be cause it puts them out of circu lation and makes their friends think they do not want to go out socially. If you will do your share, you 'will be included in the parties your friends give. (Couyright 1956. General Features Corp.) Japan Warned on Sovlef Overtures Tokyo (U.R) Rep. Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) today said he is "disturbed" that the Japanese are listening to the Soviet Un ion. Walter, chairman of the House un-American Activities and Ju diciary committees and of the Immigration subcommittee, ar rived in Tokyo .'Sunday night for a four day visit to study immigration problems here.-. In an exclusive interview at the f am'ed Imperial- Hotel, the Pennsylvania- Democrat told United, Press, "I am disturbed by one thing, here and that is that the Japanese are listening to the things that Russia are saying." " He warned Japan that the So viet Union, in attempting to sign a peace treaty at the London talks J with the Japanese gov ernment, "is using the same techniques" that ' it . employed before the United States recog nized the Communist state two decades ago. Say Pads Important If Disputes Settled Paris U.P.r The French government said Saturday that non-aggression pacts proposed to President Eisenhower by Rus sia could be of "considerable" importance if East-West dis putes are settled first. The new government of Soc ialist Premier Guy Mollet, in a formal communique, left the door open for concluding the pacts at a later date. ' The commuinque was issued after Foreign Minister Christian Pineau received "courtesy" calls from U. S. Ambassador C. Doug las Dillon and British Ambas sador Sir Gladwyn Jebb.
