"You must do nothing of the kind." said the voice that an swered the -call. "Just give me your name, address and telephone number and do nothing until we jet there. We'll come in a hurry." There was a long pause. A de- perate sigh. And then, the caller identified himself. "It' true then." he asked, al most with the pathos of a child, "that you care whether or not I kill myself?" "Of course we care." In less than 10 minutes a Sa maritan arrived at the address, listened patiently to i story of loneliness and despair and talked the man out of committing sui cide. The initial visit was followed Bp by others, and the man who thought he had nothing to live for. found a new interest in life and friends. This remarkable organisation, the Samaritans, was started five ' years ago by the Fte. Chad Var an, rector of St. Stephen Wal brook. In this city of eight million where a human being can become more lonely than in the heart of jungle he felt there was a frt need for such a service. The Samaritans offer a 14-hour eervice seven days a week for those "tempted to suicide or dearth-Is) the five years they have an- ewered over l.ann desperate calls Of these, about 40 per cent were from people on the brink of sui cid. All of them were persuaded from self destruction. Apart from a small full time staff of workers, whose salaries are paid from a grant by the Gulbenkian Foundation, the Sa maritans rely on voluntary help Presently there are about 125 volunteers. . They devote their spare time to visiting clients, do telephone duty during the evening a n d on weekends. They sleep in the "bunk room" in the church tower so they can answer calls that come in the night. These people, men and women, have had no previous training in such work. But once a Samari tan they attend special classes. They offer their assistance with religious problems, arrange for the treatment of seriously dis turbed clients and give readily of their friendship to the lonely. The Samaritans are unable to help people with financial or hous ing problems. They don't have money enough for this. Their investigations have found that shvness is behind a lot of the troubles: a shyness that pre vents people from joining clubs and organisations where they can meet others. Their job it to overcome this shvne j. Christmas day Is the peak time tor suicides and would-be suicides in lHvdnfl.1 The Samaritans say the expla-, I nation is obvious.

In the following dispatches, I'nited Press International Columnist Mary Prime, a bride since last July 5. and her husband. A. Daniel Jonk. er. tell how chaotic the big day can become despite a couple s de termination that it'll be a "small" wedding. Br MARV PRIME NEW YORK tl'PI) - To heck with all that advice on how to pre serve your marriage. Any bride knows the greatest prevention of divorce is the thought of going through another wedding. Take the matter of rest and privacy. Brides are supposed to be beautiful. Well, maybe before the days of mass communication, a girl had a chance. But now once the word is out. it's imposible to get your beauty sleep without stumbling over brush salesmen, insurance salesmen, photograph ers, and laundry services. Not to mention relatives. . My advice is either marry before the age of 18 or elope. Otherwise, you might as well go to a hotel and let the aunts, uncles and cousins move in your apart ment. If you're over 25, the rela tives are so relieved you won't he dying on the vine after all. that they come en masse to see for themselves. There were my mother and fa ther (sleeping in', my Aunt Mary, Aunt Ginny i all the way from Cal ifornia!, Aunt Margueriele, and my Aunt Grace King. My Aunt Lillian dropped by the afternoon of the wedding to say hello. My friend Florence came to help .ad dress announcements, and a whole list got overlooked ilus mother's friendst. They all came along when I chose my china, and the sales woman had to take me to the stock room to recover from hys teria. All in all, the two-room apart ment got so populated, my fiance and I had to quarrel in the closet. We made the mistake of plan ning to live in my apartment, which never won any prizes as the large economy size. But still, it wasn't so bad. even with my furni ture and the management's (the lease read "furnished"). Then the movers delivered my fiance's an tique desk and chair, floor lamps, rugs and hi-fi cabinets tyes. plur al, he made them himself and he believes in getting the most for his money l. Thmgs were getting crowded what with wedding presents and relatives, but everyone was still on speaking terms (most of the timet until the expressmen de livered a carton so big we had to uncrate it in the lobby. It was The PAGE 5 C Chair. Believe me. not even death could have done us apart like that chair. It was beautiful, but it took up the same square feet as a baby elephant. It came from my fi ance's Great Aunt Maude in Ver mont, who has a home large enough to fit my apartment in any room. Heaven only knows what mysterious urge prompted him to feather his nest, but he actually had asked for the chair, sight unseen and me unconsulted. Mav be after 50 years, we'll be able to discuss it calmly. Every bride hears tales of hoc- tic weddings. But mme was going to be different, I thought. Small. Just family and a few friends. I might as well have rented Y'an kee Stadium. One friend invited herself. Cousins filtered in. The photographer announced be want ed to be included m the cham pagne. I ordered fresh flowers for the top of the wedding cake, instead of the usual candy bride and bridegroom. But at the reception the cake was wheeled in nude. The head waiter scrounged a bunch of wild flowers, grabbed a hi-ball glass, cut a hole in tha middle of the cake, and stuck tha flowers in. Of course, all the etiquette ( Continued en Page -C
