By FREDDYE S. HENDERSON FOR ANP # GIVE UNTO OTHERS— If we paraphrased the Golden Rule to read, “Give unto others as you would have them give unto you,” there would not be the perennial problem of what to do with the gifts which were re ceived and invariably cannot be used. Instead, it is just about this time of the year that we realize that too often the spirit of giving % takes precedence over the wisdom of our choices. As a result the stores make lots of money, but our selection of gifts are often left forgotten in their gay gift boxes. The question always arises as to just what to do with the un wanted things anyway. Now we could pass them on to some other unsuspecting person, comes an other holiday, but we might end like the woman who received the same pair of red flannelL.C.D.s that she pushed off on an unsus pecting nephew six years before. It had made the family round and finally came back to the starting point. Or we could join the throngs who stand in the lines for hours at the service desks in order to make changes or to get the more versatile cash value. Now, this is all right, provided one has the patience of Job, and is willing to be left without a permanent me mento, for cash money is a very illusive sort of thing. Even if one can manage to hold on to it, there would not be that personal qual lty to keep us reminded that it was a gift from Great Aunt Susie. There is still another choice: One can go directly to the giver and confront her with “The Thing” and say, “Now looka here, you know you should not do this to your worst enemy.” If you are not her worst enemy, that is one sure way to become it.

This solution has its merits, but I shall never forget how sillly Uncle Charlie looked sitting around in that dust cap whihc was Aunt Susie's gift to him. It had its merits, though, for when Aunt Susie saw him she never gave another gift to any one—not a dust cap, anyway. ’ * As for me, I have no solution. You will have to decide for your self what to do with the mon strosities.

(ANP) —With November came once again the steady tut-tut-tut-tut tut all day long down at the Jour nalism building on the Lincoln university campus.
