Walter Kerr's, "This is the sort of play that gives failures a bad name." 2. George S. Kaufman's, "I saw last night's opening under un fortunate circumstances. The curtain was up." 3. George Jean Nathan's, "1 always said I'd like John Barrymore's acting till the cows came home. Well, ladies and gentle men, last night the cows came home." 4. Dorothy Parker's, "Obviously. here was a playwright for the ages the ages of four to six." 5.

Art Ryon suggests a calendar to remind him when the payments are due. 1363, by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Features Syndicate In the Day's News By FRANK The news? Here's a sample: Pedro Leon, a homesick Cuban, set out recently from Las Palmas, in the Canary Is lands, some 60 miles off the coast of Northwest Africa, to CROSS THE ATLANTIC IN A BARREL, and thus get back to his homeland. Beside him in the barrel wQe two bottles of water, two loaves of bread and two pounds of corn meal. These were to be his provisions for the voyage - which, if he had completed it, would have fol lowed very closely the route pioneered b y Christopher Columbus nearly five centur ies ago. WHAT happened? It was brief. He sailed two yards and turned over twice in that dis tance. Two bystanders res cued him from the surf and two police men took him to a first aid station. From there, two medical attendants took him to the local psychiatric hospital. WELL, at least his project makes as much sense as the contention of our modern politicians that the sure way to prosperity lies along the road of BIG SPENDING, BIG DEFICITS AND BIG DEBTS. QUESTION: Whence came the name Canary Islands? You'll be surprised TtHE CANARY Islands were known to the ancients, who named them Canaria from the Latin word "canis," meaning dog, because they iound large, tierce dogs there. Canary birds - without which in a cage, no American home was complete only a lew decades ago - get their name from the fact that they were first found on the Ca nary islands.

He added: "This is the lesson of his tory, and it mui?; learned."

A WORD on deficits: --This dicit financing busi ness is more or less a govern ment monopoly. We private individuals can seldom get too deep into that kind of trouble? When we are tempt ed to do some deficit finan cing in aGhig way, we go to our banker, and he says NO!!! And that's that. When government falls for the temptation to do prolong ed deficit financing, all it has to do is to reach into our pockets and take out the money with which to pay the interest on the increasing debt that follows deficit fian cing.

QUALIFIED ALL LINES WRITTEN Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (C' Field Enterprises. Inc. LIFE'S BALANCE When Chesterton was once asked that liresomely familiar question, "What book would you choose to have with you on a des e r t island?" he quite sen sibly replied, "James vol ume on 'Prac t i c a 1 Ship building." He was doing Harrl more than giving a flip dismissal to this trite question. He was point ing out the absurdity of tak ing a situation out of context. Most of us would aiftwer7, with spiritual solemnity, the Bible or Shakespeare; but Chesterton, who was both a deeply religious and a widely cultivated man. saw through these pretensions. On a desert island, of course, we would want a book that would help us survive and escape, if possible. For a man aloneis no good to him self, even with the Bible and Shakespeare for company. Robinson Crusoe was going crazy until he came upon Fri day. Books of a spiritual or cultural quality must be a supplement lo life; they can not be a substitute for it. If the average man makes the disastrous mistake of substituting action for thought (which always ends in violence), the thought ful man often makes the contrary mistake of substi tuting books foro'.ife (which always ends up in sterility). Indeed? perhaps the .an tral task of any human life consists in achieving the proper balance, theocorrect tension, between gie con templative and the practi cal aspects. For both the man who thinks too much and the man who thinks too little lends to lake the wrong action in a crisis. The consideration of subtle moral, psychological and so cial values can immobilize a man from taking action with courage and dispatch; and, contrariwise, the ignoring of such considerations can plunge us into deeds whose consequences are quite the opposite of what we intended. Life is so hard to anticipate precisely because each event is an equation in which on. term is maaen irom us-- xne mysterious "x" that dies so deep within our own Abjure that we cannot seifT" What expert bridge players call "the feel of the table" -knowing intuitively when to pass and when to bid - is as important in living as in playing. The reflective man will nearly always pass, and the impulsive man will near ly always bid; but true exper tise consists in cutting across the grain of one's nature when the situation seems to call for it. It might almost be said that only if we learn how and when to violate 3he natural bent of our temrg?rament can 1e cope with the unpredict ability ant perrsity of hu mfn ffirs.
