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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
It said France regretted that
Russia already had denounced
the 1944 friendship treaty be
tween the two countries when
France approved the Tearma
ment of West Germany.
Bonn, Germany (U.R) The
West Germany government has
banned sale of the "Esquire
girl" calendar for 1956 to min
ors under 18 years on the ground
that it is "dangerous to the
morals of young people."
The electric self-starter for
automobiles dates back to 1911.
It was invented in Detroit by
C. F. Kettering, a prominent
automotive engineer.
