But one spicy October day in New York, he climbed onto the ledge outside his hotel window and jumped 31 stories. His wallet contained $8,000, a bankbook with a startling balance, and a note which said: "Life is too lonesome." Indeed, life can be almost unbearably lonesome. Yet loneliness may afflict any one of us, and the case of Dudley McCluff certainly indicates that mere money is no preventive. No, this malady of the mind is not due to your circumstances but what you make of those circumstances. If you too suffer loneliness, don't blame what's around you, but what's inside you. Of course, loneliness comes in many forms and is met in as many ways. At 18, Laura Delno was a real beauty, a Hippodrome show girl. She left the stage to marry a man whose love and companionship gave her complete happiness and security until he died two years ago. Left virtually destitute at 67, Laura moved into a small rooming house where she made salads and desserts in exchange for her board. Here is what she says: "Frankly, I don't believe in lonesomeness. I just don't see how it is possible in a world where there is something to do or see or think about or work at every moment. In any case, I have to do without things which were once priceless to me, but that only makes me more grateful for the things I can still enjoy. "On fine days, I plan some errand in town, no matter how small. That's my gamble on running into something or somebody who'll be a booster shot, and it never fails to happen. "If it's some sort of formula you're after, the best I can do is to tell anybody who's lonesome to stop thinking about himself and take a good look around. That's the cure and all there is to it." Another way to enliven quiet hours was devised by two spinster sisters living near Lancaster, Pa., and working in a factory 45 minutes away by bus. They conceived the idea of always taking separate seats in order to be able to talk with other people. Two trips a day yielded four conversations which provided lively subject matter for the sisters in the evening and their hours never seemed long or empty. As the last occupant of a home once busy with little boys growing up, Ernest Smith offered this advice: "My way of combating lonesomeness is to get busy at solving my most immediate problem. By the time you've licked a tough problem, you've forgotten all about being lonesome. And if you haven't any problem, the answer is even easier get your mind busy with anything you're interested in. In other words, get busy period!" Harold Haley, in his 60s and living on a pension, has this formula for keeping life beautiful: illlfill SLA Is this man lonely? Not if his mind is busy absorbing new knowledge. is Family Weekly, May 17. JJ51 J
