Truly Good Samaritans
LONDON W "I've called you."
aid the flat, tired voice on the
telephone, "because I think I'm
joing to kill myself.
"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.

The Samaritans say the expla-,
I nation is obvious.

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

that they come en masse to see

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

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

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.
