Mashed Finger Is Tough On Writer By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — On Thanksgiving Day I went outside between football games to perform a ritual, familiar to all suburbanites, that is known as “putting the lawnmower away for the winter.” While I had the thing upended, trying toremove the blade, the wrench slipped and mashed the end of the little finger on my right hand. It was excruciating. Besides that, it hurt. I ran into the the house where I encountered my wife coming up from the basement with a load of laundry. She could sense from the way I was screaming that sotnething was wrong. My wife is very perceptive that way. “What’s the matter?” ' she asked. “I hurt my pinkie,” I' said. “You poor kid,” she crooned. “Come here and I’ll kiss it and make it all well.” Sarcasm Unappreciated I didn’t appreciate her sarcasm one bit. Besides that, she lied to me. This happened more than two weeks ago and my finger is still sore. Mashing one’s finger is not, I’ll admit, a mortal wound. But for someone who earns his livelihood playing the typewriter, it is just about the worst thing thing that can happen. Outside of discovering that one’s wife can’t really heal a mashed finger by kissing it, I don’t know of ariything more traumatic than having to change one’s typing technique. Under the typing system I employ, the right little finger has jurisdiction not only over the colon-semicolon, .its home key, but is also responsible for the letter P, both ..capital and lower case; the zero; the starboard parenthesis; the asterisk; the dash; the margin release; the % and Vi signs; the plus and equ|j signs; the question mark and slash mark; a shift key; the per cent mark and that little a with the circle around it. Versatility Unmatched No other typing finger can match its versatility and none is more important, except possibly the left ring finger, which is assigned to the key used in X-ing out mistakes. The loss of the right pinkie is particularly hard on someone like me because I have an inferiority complex and consequently use a lot of question marks. During my in capacitation, I year. This game will be played with Monroeville December 19 at Monroeville school.— Eagles, beat Monroeville. — M. H. S. — If you happen to come to Monmouth during the Christmas holidays, don’t neglect to look at the grade room windows. They have decorated their windows in many different ways. They look sharp, and everyone enjoys looking at something cheerful. — M. H. S. — As you know, it is nearing Christmas and this will be my last report this year. Remember the true meaning of Christmas this year, and have a very merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. See you next year! — M. H. S. —
