They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo 1me question before the house todav is: whv do thev have a two-tom weddin& cake that takes six waiters to carrv ih ??? AND THEN SERVE SLICES THE SIZE OF A BOOK OF MATCHES'" OF WHICH VOU'RE SUP POSED TO EAT SOME AND PUT SOME UNDER. YOUR PILLOW?? OF SMITH & MEN Bv Jack Smith (n I960 Tlmei-Mirror Syndicate It's a good thing I've al ready got a job. I might as well figure on staying where I am for life. With all these new tech niques and machines for test ing applicants for jobs I doubt if I could get a job rack ing balls in a poolhall. : The days are gone when all the city editor gave a reporter was a sobriety test and made him type "the little red fox Jumps over the lazy brown dog's back" with two fingers. Now they look at your teeth, X-ray your chest, test your IQ and your emotional profile and make you tell them what you see In an ink blot. One young fellow I know who went through this ordeal thought it must be a genetics test. . : I might survive some of these tests. I'm good at ink blots. But now an outfit called Truth Verification, Inc., in Texas, Is being engaged by big companies to give job appli cants lie detector tests. "The rubber hose is'slretch ed across your chest," the firm says. "Then the electrode is placed in your hand. The gray cloth of the blood pressure machine is wrapped around your arm." I'd be cooked right there. I'm the kind who always imagines the worst. Airplanes crash. Elevators fall. If they strapped me in a lie detector machine I'd imag ine I was being electrocuted for a crime of passion. I'd be innocent, of course, but that would only make it worse. In justice makes my blood boll. My blood pressure is odd anyway. It goes up when they try to measure it.

Agnus M. - My fiance and I can't finance a wedding reception. Mrs. N. M. - Then, postpone the wedding until you can. Agnes M. - Newton and I are getting married soon. We're both over 21, and know exactly what we're doing. We each have good jobs and have been able to save up enough money to just about cover the cost of furnishing an apart ment. For that reason, we are quite prepared to have a very small wedding and no recep tion. To my surprise, my parents are insisting on a reception even though they cannot af ford to pay for one. Neither can Newt and I, My mother's solution to the problem is for us to postpone our wedding and save up for a formal wedding at a Mass in a bridal gown, with a recep tion for friends and relatives right after. Otherwise, she stays, we might as well elope. We don't want to delay our marriage. At the same time, we don't want any hard feel ings. Should we compromise our position In this dispute? Mrs. N. M. - What's the big rush with Agnes and Newt? She was just 21 Inst month, and he's 22. Just as they saved up for their home, let them save up a little more and have a beautiful wedding. How can Agnes put on a wedding-gown and veil and be married at a Nuptial Mass in front of all the family and friends, and then just shnkc hands and say good-bye out side the church? It's ridicu lous, but that's what she has in mind. x I've told Agnes, either she does it right, from top to bot tom, with a veil and a pro-; cession and a reception alter , the ceremony and the Mass, or she Just gets married quiet ly in a plain dress with none! of the family or friends i around, except as witnesses. The Councili It may seem like a "big rush" to Mrs. M. but, to Agnes and Newton no doubt, it's been an eternity -collecting the little nest-egg for their little nest. So post ponement, for the purpose of a "suitable" post-nuptial wlng-1 ding, is not one of our recom mendations. Instead, Agnes can proceed with arrangements which in-1 elude the one essentlnl-thc; religious ceremony in church which she wants-and as many of the non-essential embellish ments as the bank-account permits. It's natural for this prospec tive bride to dream of herself marching down a long aisle in a flower-filled church, to sweet organ strains and the chiming of wedding-bells. But Agnei must choose between "the main course" and the trimmings. Since she can't have both, we know what her choice must be. : After conferring with our Catholic advisers, we can sug gest a few compromises, not with the date and budget as Mrs. M. requests, but between the festive pageantry Agnes envisions and the brcad-and butter rites she can afford. She and Newton may be married at any "low mass. In any garb she wishes. A spe cial nuptial mass is not neces sary. Or, she can dress to the gills and slip into the church "through tile side-door," for an afternoon wedding, with out a mass. As for a "reception," this can be anything from the snaring oi a ooitie oi cnnnv pagnc among the principals and witnesses, to entertaining a small, specially-invited group at anybody's home which can hold the bunch." Refreshments can surely bo "scared-up. . Most important, Agnes - don t overdramatlzo your problem. Your parents will accept your decision, and you'll wind up with nice memories of the dny,-fewer lemonade pitchers, perhaps, out no debts and no regrets. pressure he turned pale and cried, "Great Scott, man! You're going off salt." I was off salt a month be fore we found out It was only nerves. "You'd never be able to take a lie detector test," the doctor told me, "You'd mur der it." After you're strapped in this chair, says the company, In a quiet, slow voice, the man asks you questions - Is your name Jack Collins? Have you ever stolen irom your employer?" Well, of course my name isn't Jack Collins, so I could get out of that all right. The next question is tougher. I've never actually stolen. Certainly not. But there was that time I came out $10 short on an expense account and put down $10 for tooth paste. The editor called me in his office. I'd never been in there before. I was surprised to find out that the editor was a kind of purple-colored man. 'How can you spend $10 for tooth paste on a two-day trip?" he shouted. As a representative of you and your newspaper," I ex plained, I wanted my teeth to be as clean as possible. . He didn t fire me. He knew my strengths and weaknesses. But do you suppose any pros pective employer, not having any way of detecting any strengths, unless they showed up in my ink blots, would hire me if they found out about the tooth paste? Not likely But if I answered no, saying I d never stolen from an cm ployor. I'd remember the tooth paste and my blood would shoot up. I might as well just tell the lie detector I was really Jack Collins after all and was wanted for escape from Joliet.

Name of Board of Directors on Request CRATER FINANCE 135 PINE fJS3?T" NO 4-1273 Lenten Message By THE REV. DR. BILLY GRAHAM Baptist Evangelist (Written for UPI) Earth never knew a darker day than that first Good Fri day when the Prince of Glory died. But earth's most tragic day was transformed into earth's gladdest day for it marked the end of sin and checked its rule over the hearts and lives of earth's people. When Jesus lifted up His voice and cried, "It is finish ed," He did not mean that His life was ebbing away or that God's plan had been foiled. Though death was near, He realized that the last obstacles had been hurdled, the last enemy had been destroyed, and that He had successfully and triumphantly completed the task of redemption. By His death on the cross, He had removed the last bar rier between God and man, and with the words, "It is finished," He announced that the road from man to God was completed and open to traffic. Modern man would like to make of the cross a thing of sentiment ... trinket to be worn around the neck ... an ornament on a church steeple . . . or an emblem stamped in gold Ink on our Bibles. But the cross symbolizes man's utter helplessness to save him self . , . and the intensity of God's love. There is an ele ment of mystery in the cross of Christ that cannot be un derstood with our natural minds. But I do know that all who by faith test its power dis cover that it can wonderfully change their lives and lift them to a higher plane of living. MANAGER NAMED Portland - (UPD-A. V.
