Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
Let's turn to pleasanter subjects.
In these days the papers not
to mention the radios and the
TV s-are full of Mona Lisa.
Wherever you look (or wherever
you listen) it's Mona Lisa this and
Mona Lisa mat.
So-
You may ask
Who was this Mona Lisa?
Well, historically she was the
THIRD wife of a Florentine na
bob named Zanobi del Giocondo.
One presumes that Mona Lisa was
her maiden name, although the
books are not very communica
tive on that subject. Anyway,
Leonardo da Vinci, perhaps the
most fabulous character of me
dieval times, painted her portrait
somewhere along in the early
1500's. He worked on it inter
mittently for nearly four years
using all the technical skill he
possessed to make it a master
piece. The Mona Lisa hangs normally
In the Louvre in Paris, where at
any hour of the day or night
when the Louvre is open to the
public you have to push your way
through a crowd to get a look
at it.
It is now on loan from the
French government to the gov
ernment of the United States, and
presently hangs in the National
Art Gallery in Washington
where the crowds are flocking
in to get a look at what is un
doubtedly the most famous paint
ing in the world.
H Is known generally as the
Mona Lisa. It is known also
among the French as La Belle
Jocondc. Jocondc is a French
word meaning merry, gay,
cheerful, genial, SPORTIVE. The
lady seems to have all these qual
itiesincluding the last one. It
is also called La Gioconda, which
is a feminine form of her Italian
husband's last name.
The painting owes its g r e a t
fume, probably, to the lady's un
usual smile about which volumes
have been written. More or less
everybody in the world who uses
a pen or a pencil or a type
writer takes a crack at Mrs. Gia
condo's smile which has been
called mysterious, mocking, ques
tioning, ironical and a great
many other things.
Cynics have been known to re
mark that Da Vinci may have
caught her expression at a mo
ment when she was looking at
her husband and saying to her
self: "You don't know as much
about me as you think you do."
You have to admit that it could
express that secret thought.
According to one school, the
smile is a forced one. concealing
some terrible torment. That in
terpretation is a little hard to
take. The lady really looks any
thing but tormented. Her smile
is closer to smugness than tor
ment. She seems quite pleased
wilh herself.
There's no denying the fact,
however, that her smile has a
strangely fascinating quality. It
seems to follow you all over the
crowded room of the Louvre in
which it normally hangs.
It certainly isn't Just a casual
smile expressing kindness and
good nature. Looking at it, it is
hard to escape the feeling that the
lady is suing you up-and that
her size-uo isn't one that you
would be eager for everybody to
know about.
Anvwav. if vou're in Washing
ton while La Belle Joconde
there, you'd better go around to
the National Art Gallery and give
it a look
Then try to describe to your
el( just what you think she is
smiling ahout. You w-on't find it
easy to do. Or. perhaps, flatter
ins. Somehow, La Belie Joconde
seems to be savin? to you: "Go
on! You can't fool ME."

The judge said he would h'and
down a decision on the request
before the strike deadline. Attor-j
ncys for both the railway and thel
union the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers
(BLF&E) were present at a con
ference at the judge's home.
Judge Walsh said the railway
sought a temporary restraining
order pending settlement of re
lated matters now before the fed
eral court
Union Vice President James W.
Jennings said the strike, which
could tie up rail transportation to
14 southern states, was ordered
because of the railway's "delib
erate violation of mileage andl
vacation provisions" in its con
tract with the railway.
Jennings said Southern required
or permitted union members to
work unreasonably long tours or
hours and cancelled scheduled vacations.
All of the union's 1.200 mem
bers were covered by the Strike
call
The union said it had complied
with all the provisions of the
Railway Labor Act and that the
strike would be legal.
The brotherhood agreed to send
representatives to a 2 p.m., EST.,

A railway spokesman declined
comment on grounds that the is
sue was in the federal courts. He
did say that Southern had been
notified by the Federal Mediation
Board that firemen had said they
would strike Sunday. '
In refusing to stay the deadline,
the union said Southern had given
no assurances the labor-management
contract would be obeyed
during negotiations.
Jennings charged that the sys
tem had failed to abide by a rail

ing both parties to serve notice
