brings me home and tells me
how much he loves me „
"But he has never asked Me

"I hear that once another girl
jilted him. Could he still be in
love with her though she's mar-

get back together, and though I
have other dates sometimes. I
just break down and cry!

New Method Of
Striking Oil
Belgian peasant Auguste Mans
thought he had struck oil. Har-
vesting potatoes recently on his
farm at Gozee, 35 miles south of
Brussels, be noticed a' strong
smell of fuel—and it wasn't
coming from his tractor. Where
the smell was strongest, Mans
started digging. And 'there,
buried 21e feet down, he found
a small iron spigot—leaking
high-test aviation gasoline. Al-
ready it had seeped out into 2
acres of Mans' pasture,
Called in to investigate, Belgi-
an authorities gave a shamefaced
explanation: The spigot had
been honked onto an under-
ground NATO pipeline which
carries vital jet fuel from the
pert of Antwerp to Belgium's
Florenna: air baae. All told,
some 25,000 gallons had been
lost before Mans stumbled onto
the leak.
Was it sabotage? NATO offi-
cials thought not. The best bet:
SoMe .enterprising Belgian had
tasseled the pietteline to try to get
free fuel for his car.

Moments later, the statue of

Remember the meeting I
mentioned last week? Well, we
won out against the Planning
Board. Against them, or with
them — we are not sure which'
way they really wanted the
vote to go. Anyway, all the
property owners in this imme-
diate district rose up in a body
to protest the construction and
operation of a store or stores
in this locality. So we remain as
we were — 11.1 Residential. So
that little worry is over. It
stirred up quite a lot of intereet
in the district, only about two
families were without represen-
tation at the meeting, The de-
cision restored our, confidence in
the power of the people. We pro-
tested and our protests were
given courteous consideration.
Incidentally this meeting coin-
cided with the first public ap-
pearance in the 'United States of
Nikita Khrushchev. In fact I
rather think his visit had some
influence at our meeting. The
Planning Board were anxious to
prove our rights as citizens of
a free Democracy so we 'were

Should A Doctor
Tell The Truth?
01 all the difficult decisions
a physician must face, none is,
more tormenting than this;
Should a hopelessly ill patient
be told that he is going to die?
The problem is ,as old as mech.,
eine itself; and now, with the
number of deaths from Paneer
`and ether ehronio-.ailments
lag as the life don increases.
the issue has become even mote
acute,
In Britain recently, Dr. Harley
Williams, editor of. The Chest
and Heart Bulletin, determined
"to bring this matter into the,
open forum of serious public
discussion," He invited several
eminent British physicians and
clergymen to write a series of
signed Articles entitled " Should
the Dying Be Told?" Se far,
three issues of the bulletin have
carried the articles and by
last week Dr. Williams' project
bad aroused considerable dis-
cussion all over Britain.
"On the whole," Dr. Williams
explaine d, "physicians have
fought shy of telling patients
that they are suffering from an
incurable disease like cancer be-
cause in nine eases out of ten
the patients will lose the great-
est tranquilizer of all—hope,"
Yet of the six authors who have
presented their views so far,
only one — Dr, John C. Roberts,
a consultant at Harefield Hos-
pital in Middlesex — argued
that the truth can kill.
The other authors all main-
tain that a patient who asks a
doctor for the facts should he
told the truth — if only to give
him time to put into order his
affairs, his will, and his soul.
Among ,the arguments: .
"When a patient asks for a
statement of the exact state of
affair's," said Dr. Maurice Da-
vidson, a retired consulting Phy-
sician, "the doctor must at all
costs answer. To evade this
obligation . . . is, in my subnlis-
sion, a breach of medical ethics
. . . Of course, there are no
hard and fast rules as to how
the truth should be told, A
doctor's fundamental knowledge
of human nature and his voca-
tional training should have edu-
cated him to this end,"
"I scarcely think it is possible
to conceal from a patient for
any length of time the serious-
ness of his condition," the Rev.
Alphonsus. Bonner, a Catholic
priest of East Bergholt in Essex,
suggested. "He soon begins to
suspect, and the suspicion with
its accompanying worry can
have quite as deleterious an
effect as a definite pronounce,
meat • of the fatal character or
the disease."
"Many of my patients are
