Turn a frown upside down.
You could be unhappy
because you're harried, says
the founder of San Francisco's
Carol Osborn Superwomen
Anonymous. Give yourself a
do-nothing day. Make a
checklist of 24 things not-to-
do today. To make it stick,
tike off your watch and start
and end the day with a long
soak in a soapy tub.
Keep a journal. Think of it
as your best friend and record
all your thoughts and feel-
ings. It takes about three
months of bookkeeping to see
happy results.
Fight that sad-sack feeling.
Volunteer your services as a
social worker. Being commit-
ted to something constructive
is the biggest blues-buster
there is, says the Voluntary
Action Center (VAC).
National Cheer Up the
Lonely Day is July 11. But

East Germany Ready
To Pay Reparations

90 FRIDAY JUNE 17. 1988
Bonn (JTA) — East Ger-
many has expressed its will-
ingness to pay reparations to
Jewish victims of Nazi perse-
cution, a move that appears to
stem from the Communist
Germany Democratic Repub-
lic's belief that the good will
of Jews is the road to better
trade relations with the West,
particularly the United
States.
Heinz Galinski, leader of
the West German Jewish
community, expressed this
view last Monday following
his unprecedented meeting
with East Germany's Com-
munist Party boss Erich
Honecker.
The meeting made clear
that the East German govern-
ment sees world Jewry as a
key factor in obtaining the
"most-favored-nation" trade
status it has been seeking
from Washington. However,
the State Department last
week again rebuffed East
German efforts for mfn
status, despite its stated
readiness to make available
some 100 million marks ($58
million) in reparations to
Jewish survivors of the
Holocaust.
Speaking with reporters in
Potsdam, East Germany,
Deputy Secretary of State
John Whitehead said that the
United Sates links most-
favored-nation status in trade
relations to a country's record
on human rights. Whitehead
said it remains up to East
Germany to tear down the
Berlin Wall.
In a shift of its long-
standing policy, East Ger-
many made known last year,
and confirmed at the meeting
with Galinski, it was ready to
compensate Jewish survivors
of the Holocaust.
