Remember the
golden rule
By PETER S. K. WONG
FIRST, I wish to make it clear that my life is far from perfect, and I do not claim to know how to live well.
Please do not take the following seriously as a piece of philosophic advice. But just bear in mind that it is a rather vague jotting from an un- philosophical mind.
To some, to be alive is to suffer the pangs of outrageous fortune," while to others it is to enjoy themselves while they may before they are six underground.

But to all, it is an irrefutable veracity that they must live. We only live once
but if we work it right once is enough. Life is wonderful, and since we must live, why not live it well?
BENEFIT
By living well, we have to consider how we can best get along with others since we can- Lot live independently of them.
There are three basic qualities that are called for in order to exploit life to our benefit.
greatest
They are: Consideration for the feelings of others, respect for others' point of view, and Co-operation.
Addison said, "Half the misery of human life might be extinguished by mutual offices of compassion, benevolence and humanity." This shows that our lives will be happier if we try to adapt ourselves to this gregarious world.
The golden rule to observe in life is according to the Bible, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
of helpfulness when the need arises.
A little gratitude, a little re- membrance, will bring hap piness to both the donor and the recipient, and we should not be too ready to blame others, for to err is only human.
As Dickens said, "Try to do to others as you would have them do to you, and do not be dis- couraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better that they should fail than that should."

The world would be a long stretch of monotony if we all the thought alike. Variety is spice of life, therefore we must learn to be tolerant of the Views and opinions of others. Pav some attention to what others have to say even if their views on a question are not the same as yours.

Of course, the rat poison was on the stamp hinges, and it was put there. by the so called friend, Baxter. The old man licked the hinges to put the stamps in place little knowing that he was also licking off quantities of poison.

He stars in No, My Darling Daughter, with Juliet MITS, Michael Craig. Sir Michael Redgrave and Roger Livesey.
He is dark with the glistening eye and square jaw of a comic- cut hero. And they say he has enough sex appeal to make even the female of the beatnik species take a bath.
Miss Box found him in Rome where the Italians wouldn't stop talking about the fact that he could act too.
"He is a type of healthy-look- ing American whose good looks are completely masculine, and not in the least actorish," she says putting the woman's point of view.
GOOD LOOKS
"His overdose of good looks in real life, is magnified twofold on the screen: He is a 200 per cent photogenic," she adds, this time the producer.
Fulton dismisses his handsome appearance like a genius dis- missing a brain wave.

-Fulton is not one of these young actors who claim they had wanted to act, ILA. sizce they were "knee-high to 1 grass- hopper'": In fact one look at Fulton makes it very dificult to picture him that size.
At High School he was so riis- interested in acting that when the drama society asked him to join he told them to find some other Romeo, he meant to spend his time on something that really mattered-baseball.
"It's a big laugh at school now. I got to Hollywood and most of the drama addicts cent into business or something.”
