ly - IDDING the stereotyped, highly sexed ‘‘historical” novels -l*- that have been clattering up the book counters in recent years has become a rather standardized procedure iTself, but the Columbia Jester’s parody includes a meeting of hero and heroine that I partieu- {Ty larly enjoyed. /jiO? The battle of Bunker Hilt is raging full blast when a beau- / tiful blonde, her skirt in tatters, and her sweater clinging tightly nc to her voluptuous body, staggers out of the monument and into the arms of Fortitude Jones, the Gary Cooperish Colonial lieutenant who has been educated by Chief Lone Wolf. Fortitude gently strokes the blonde’s hair. "There, there, Mary.” he consoles her. "Everything will bo O, K. now." “Hofv did you know my name is Mary?" she counters. "We never have met before." "It’s written all over your face,” he croons, gently erasing the pencil mark from her forehead. ’But enough romancing for the mo. I have to disperse a British army or two May I say ’boo’ in your boudoir when I’ve run the dastards through with my trusty blade, Mary mio?” "Yes—and don’t be undulate.

ERICH BRANDEIS A bill has been introduced in the Massachusetts Legislature to set aside the convictions of the twenty-one persons tried and hung for practicing witchcraft

in Salem in 1692.

The introducer of the bill, a representative from Boston, thinks it wmiild be a nice gesture and reflect favorably upon the sense of justice of the Commonwealth, to admit that the oo;jr, victions were based upon tl'elusions, prejudice and bias. Its passage would prove that Massachusetts today is much more enlightened Uian it was 257

years ago.

Let us hope that the bill will

pass.

TTT— - Wafer Magic

Cotton Mather, who was responsible for the Salem Massacres, has long gone to his reward. But his partialities and prejudices linger on. Every now and then—too many nows and thens—you read about a man or a woman being sent to prison for an offense they later prove not to have committed. Release from prison, a few hundred dollars of apologymoney, and a little correctional publicity, cannot make up foi the shame and agony of false Imprisonment. But at least they get something for their pain.

However, there is another form of Cotton-Matherism that is still being exercised every single day of the week in every part of the country. It is as evil as the witchcraft delusions of two centuries and a half ago. That evil is GOSSIP.

If I had my way gossip would be made a felony Just as robbery or embezzlement is a felony. More people have been ruined by gossip than by fire or war. The very witchcraft delusions of Salem started and were fanned by the gossip of neighbors

It takes neither brains n ability to be a Gossip, and even the brainiest and ablest person is helpless against a stupid and malicious neighbor, provided that neigmbors tongue wags fast furiously enough. Gossip is usually based i envy, but often it is simply a cheap substitute for a more sensible form of conversation. But, no matter what the cause, the effect is the same. Ovce destroyed, a reputation cannot be revived any more than those victims of the Salem delusions can be brought back to ilife by an act of the Legislature
