"MUST I KISS?"
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 15,
and my problem is shyness.
Other girls my age (particularly
my best friend) are going out
on dates and having good times.
I am okay when I'm with a lot
of kids, but just the idea of a
single date (or even a double)
scares me to death.
"I don't mind the date too
much, it is just the thought of
kissing the boy that bothers tae.
Even if I like him, I'm still
frightened.
"I want to overcome this. How
can I? C."
*
Don't try to. You have some. -
thing precious to offer your
dates, and that is good, clean
friendliness. If you knew how
nice boys appreciate it!
Where did you get the idea
that kissing is all there is to
a date? Girls who kiss any
boy promiscuously (especially
on the first date) are legion.
It is girls like you, who shrink
from physical contact, that
keep the boys believing that
girls are really people, worth
cultivating as good friends and
not merely an outlet for their
passion. 'They can get kisses
anywhere — but not from you,
because you are DIFFERENT.
So often boys write me that
they try out a new girl be-
cause she gives them the idea
that she expects them to. "It
isn't that we're crazy in love,
Anne Hirst, but they think
we're a flat tire if we don't."
Stay as you are. You can
establish a different pattern
for dates. You treat a boy like
a real person, so he relaxes
with you and thinks you are
swell. This is the foundation
on which solid friendships are
built. When all those other
girls grow blase and boring,
you will still be as fresh as
a daisy, ready for your tilt
romance.
Live up to your inclinations,
and let the female wolves
cheapen themselves if they
will. * *
"How can I live through an-
other day?" If this fear tortures
you, live just for today, and
know that as you grow In spiri-
tual grace the way will be easier
It helps to write Anne
Hirst about it. Address her at

61NGERFARM
It came at last , . . our share
of snow and winter storms, And
it was our first experience of
what snow can do to a residential
district. And it was plenty. It
was a Saturday and apparently
the week -end shopping still had
to be done. One by one cars
backed out of driveways on to
the road, and in most cases that's
where the fun began. Cars slew -
ed across the road blocking
through traffic. Our next-door
neighbour was among them. It
took him about forty minutes to
dig himself out — and then he
drove the car back into the
garage and left it there. The
doctor was the first to work on
his driveway — naturally he
had to make sure of getting out.
After he got through two neigh-
bour cars got stuck and he was
out helping to dig them out. And
what did we do? We stayed put.
1 took stock of cupboards and
"frig" and decided we could last
out for two or three days if we
had to — Partner isn't able to
do too much digging, However,
as soon as the storm had died
down a bit Partner was busy
with the shovel — digging out
the driveway, just in case. He
had just finished when Bob
came along. An hour earlier he
would have been offered the
business end of a shovel.
Of course all I knew about
the storm was what I could see
from the windows, One thing I
noticed — you could almost tell
who was friendly with whom
along the road! For instance
when A's car got stuck B. went
to his assistance but when C.
was in a similar predicament he
was left to dig himself out! D.
managed to get out without too
much trouble but as soon as he
was gone Mrs. D. was out shov-
elling the driveway for his re-
turn. The snowplough came
through about nine o'clock so
by Sunday morning there was
a good snow -cleared road, shov-
elled driveways and, I don't
doubt, a lot of aching muscles.
I didn't notice many people
people turning out to church
Sunday morning,
I was very glad to be home
before the storm came — and I
could quite easily not have been.
I went to Peterborough last
Wednesday morning and return-
ed Friday night, just as the
weather was starting to change.
I almost stayed until Saturday
as I found plenty to do helping
Klemi straighten out my sister's
affairs, He is giving up the
house, storing most of his furni-
ture and going into rooms for
the present. For a musician that
is quite a problem. So much
sheet music and he had to have
it where he could get at It. I
stayed alone at the house the
first night and got very little
steep. The furnace was so noisy
I thought surely it would blow
up. Times when it was quiet
trains would rattle by on a
track not more than a hundred
feet from the back door. Every
time it happened the house
shook quite noticeably• And yet
that house has just been pur-
chased by a newly-wed couple.
(My sister had it rented). Don't
people pay any attention to loca-
tion? By day I did not notice
the noise — I was far too busy.
I turned down invitations to eat
out so 1 could keep working.
And then one good little :mil
brought me over a hot dinier
Thursday night. Other frieids
helped by taking things away
-- some to sell and some for
rummage and others given away.
And then they drove me to the
station to catch the noon thy -
liner. Without their help f
couldn't have made it. Kindress
everywhere. I shall always retain
a very high regard for the Peter-
borough folk. But I mustn't for-
get our own family either. Art
came to get. me Wednesday
morning quite early. He had an
awful drive. A -mixture of rain
and snow. It took an hour and
a half each way to make the
twenty -minute run, But now it
is all behind us as I don't think
I will need to make another trip.
But now, in lighter vein, I
have another matter to report.
Ditto is back with us again, as
of eight days ago. Remember
what I said . . was to be an
omen — if she came back the
-Liberals would win the next
election. If she didn't . . , the
answer is obvious. Well, the issue
is still in doubt. Ditto didn't
COME back; she was BROUGHT
back! So now what? I had asked
the school children near here
to watch for her — and they
really went hunting. After three
days away two little boys
brought her home —eyes wild,
coat rough and dirty, bones al-
most sticking through her skin.
They found her in a gully over
at the golf course. It was several
days before I had her anything
like normal. Now shrc is as play-
ful as ever. But I am still won-
dering how many of her nine
lives went overboard. Even at
that we are lucky. Our nearest
neighbour found their little kit-
ten drowned in the basement —
in the sump pump drain, We
are thinking of getting a piece
of wire netting to cover our
sump pump. It looks as if it
were just inviting trouble.
So that's another week gone
by. The snow has caused trouble
out here — but at least it's good
for the farmers.

When the Subliminal Projec-

fall that It had perfected a de-
vice for Inserting unnoticeable
1/3,000 -of -a -second commercials
in movies and TV shows, reac-
tions ranged from cries of "foul
and unfair" to chortles of glee
from parties who saw the end
of intrusive TV commercials. The
major U.S. TV networks piously
declared they had no intention
of using the devilish new Inven.
tion,
Last month, the first public
test of subliminal communication
was broadcast by the staid Cana -
d i a n Broadcasting Co.'s essay -
interview TV show "Close -Up."
Viewers from coast to coast were
told that a secret subliminal mes-
sage would be flashed on the
screen 240 times in half an hour.
They were asked to report their
impressions.
This week, CBC revealed that
the message had been: "Tele-
phone now." They reported that
a large number of people had
telephoned in, but most of the
callers just wanted to know what
the message was. Most of the
callers thought the message had
to do with thirst. One man said
he got the message: "Change
channels."
Janes Vicary, inventor and
president of Subliminal Projec-
tion Co., Inc., professed to be
encouraged by the equivocal re -
results. "The less it stems to
work," he said,- "the easier to
market it," — From Newsweek.

' Q. Is it really considered or
sect to accept a second helr'ni
of, food when your hostess of[era
it to you, or is this, a sign of
greediness?
A. One may certainly accept
a second helping if one wishes.
It is a compliment to the hoa-
tess' cookery to do so. However,
if you don't care for a second
helping, you may say, "No,
thank you."
Q. Is it considered really prop-
er now for a woman to "repair"
any of her makeup in public?
A. Sometimes at the end of a
meal in a public eating place
this is necessary, and it is quite
all right for a .woman to make
light use of powder and lip-
stick.
Q. When a girl breaks an en-
gagement which has already

A. She can write brief, infor-

Horses, Horses
The French supreme court has
just decreed that race horses
and tarn horses are the same
thing—specifically, that a man
paying off wagers at the race
track window is an agricultural
laborer and conies under the
Ministry of Agriculture. This
decision has not proved popular
with the men at the windows,
who hoped to find themselves in
a better paying category, but it
shows how judges can embrace
about anything and retain their
aplomb.
I noticed the Associated Press
made the obvious remark—that
a lot of race fans felt they had
detected plow -horse mannerisms
in losing favorites, but it re-
mains for me to point out the
Opposite. I have always been
aghast at the way farm horses,
every time I am around, think
they are race horses. They get
to thinking like these Pi ench
judges, and become absurd.
We did have one horse who
really was a race horse. He had
been famous in his time, but
that was years long gone by No-
body could remember just what
records he once held, but.every-
body agreed he'd held some. We
swapped a small load of late hay
for him, thinking he'd be good
for raking hay and cultivating.
He lounged around, mostly, and
the hardest work he ever did
for us was pull the track fork
rope when we ran hay up in the
mows. But he never forgot his
former fame, and reminded us
et it whenever he could.
Somebody said once this horse
might make a fair saddle horse.
Here In Maine we went more
for buggies, and riding on top
was left to the society folks, but
we did have an old McClellan
saddle in the tic -up. It may have
belonged to the original McClel-
lan. I h'isted it on the horse one
afternoon when I was in an ex-
perimental mood, and climbed
aboard. I was younger then
This horse turned his head
and looked up at me with with-
ering scorn. I glared back with
equally unfeigned disadmira-
tirn, which is as good a way to
IL.ndle a horse as there is, We
flus spent some time glaring,
iter which he put his head
)wn and began eating. Then I
Crew gently back on the reins,
••'ticking gently, trying to pre -
upon him with the gentle-
-.so and tenderness so much
):commended by the 'great
horsemen of the world, I spoke
to him and appealed to his bet•
1 • r nature, if any.
Then I pulled harder on the
l ins, and as my determination
1• creased Thad him so he looked
t if his mouth was split clear
I .ck to his withers, and he kept
t eating as unconcerned as a
'n on eggs. Some horses are
t.
tid to be "strong in the mouth."
'f'tIs one was strong clear back
to his tail, And, you know, it is
ridiculous thing to be all ac-
t :utered for a canter, and just
s't up there while your horse
1 fishes his dinner,
So I climbed down, where-
upon the horse picked up his
head, snorted, and struck off for
* fine run up the road. He was
gone about four hours, saddle
and all,
The next day a small boy
down the road came up and
trled him, and the horse turned
•ut to be a fine saddle horse for
small boys. The small •boy rode
him' for years, but whenever I
went near' him he thought he
was one of those French judges.
We had a respectable old
horse named Joe who had rown
•ld In the service and was as
reliable as the sun, He always
worked as nigh horse of a team,
ser whenever we hitched him
Into a pung or buggy he would
pull to the left, He had a way of
crossing directly in front of any-
body we were meeting on the
road, and this manufactured
some confusion every time It
happened,
No matter how many times it
had occurred, you were always
somewhat unready for it, and as
MAN OF WAR—Gazing fondly at one of his favorite pipes, Gen.
Chaim Laskov, newly appointed Israeli army chief of staff,
is pictured in his home town in Tel Aviv. Born in Russia, 39 -year-
old Laskiv moved to Israel in 1925. During World War II, from
1941 to 1946, he served in the British army and rose to the
rank of major. As successor to Gen. Moshe Dayan as Israel's
top fighting man, Laskov will probably have less time for his
hobbies—collecting pipes and daggers,
you jerked on the line to bring
Joe back, he would suddenly
entertain the illusion that he
was a race horse. Joe had feet
like bushel baskets, and he
would rattle them off down the
road, tossing gravel, covering
the next mile in about 1:57.25.
Then he would be done, and he
would stand in his tracks and
rest with much care, leaning
against the atmosphere and
staring. No power controlled by
man could make him move un-
til he had rested. Once he stop-
ped just below the schoolhouse,
and while he rested I went in
the bushes and picked seven
quarts of blueberries,
Then we had Lizzie, a mat-
ronly marc who thought she
was a race horse if you backed
her up. You could •go forwards
with her forever and she was
safe and clever, but if you
pulled on the lines and aid,
"Back up, Liz!" you were in for
it. She'd throw caution to the
winds, close her eyes so her ears
were pulled • forward, hump up
like a catapult, and back at full
till. We couldn't break her of it.
When we put her in the fills,
we had to have the wagon back-
ed against the barn to take up
the shock, and she would come
back against the wiffletrees and
make the barn boon' like a
drum You could slow her down
some by guiding her from the
bridle, but as Icng as we had
her nobody ever learned to do
this. Before you thought, you'd
say, "Back, Liz!" and your neck
would snap like the end of a
snake whip, and you'd have
kerosene all over the flour, and
mustard on the molasses jug,
and all the people around the
village wondering what you
were trying to do. The French
supreme court is a couple of
generations too late to qualify
poor Liz, wrong end to, for the
Preakness.
My uncle had a horse he'd
trained to go like the wind if
you .:lied "whoa," and to stop
only if you said "giddy-ap,"
Uncle was an interesting fel-
low. He loaned this horse to a
friend who wanted to take the
schoolteacher on a picnic, and
shortly after they left the cou-
ple were seen going through
SabattLs at race -track momen-
tum, both calling whoa with
much purpose, but no elect.
The romance was delayed, but
my uncle felt he had been richly
repaid for his trouble. He en-
joyed that. I think the French
supreme court would have
laughed too. At least in those
days. I don't know about now,
after this decision. — By John

Right -Hand Man
When it was announced, just
before Christmas, that, the tip-
staff of the High Court of Eng-
land was ordered to Scotland to
make an arrest, millions of peo-
ple must have asked: "What is
a tipstaff and what does he do?"
The office of tipstaff has exist-
ed for centuries in Britain. He
is an official appointed by the
Lord Chancellor, and his main
job is to arrest and escort to
jail those guilty of contempt of
court,
A former tipstaff once went
into action after a disgruntled
appellant in the Court of Appeal
had suddenly begun to hurt to-
matoes at the presiding judges.
The man was seized and the tip-
staff escorted him to prison to
serve a six weeks' sentence for
contempt.
The tipstaff's symbol of oflial
is a black ebony staff about a
foot long, silver -mounted at,both
ends and with a silver band in
the middle. There's a legend that
in the old days the staff was
longer and when the tipstaff led
the judges on ceremonial occa-
sion it was his duty "to ti:
people out of the way" with it.
The tipstaff is really a con-
stable of the High Court and you
can usually see him with his
staff at London's Lord Mayor's
Show or on the day the legal
year begins (October 12th) when
he marches at the head of the
judges' procession, brilliantly
decked in gold lace.
Feet Were Missing
After wondering about it for
centuries, Swedish authorities
last month dug up a sixteenth -
.century royal ' murder mystery
and put it under the glare of
twentieth-century science.
The riddle: Did King Eric XIV
die, as some historians claim, of
arsenic in his pea • soup, or as
others say, was he smothered by
a pillow, or drained bloodless
by a conniving doctor?
A chance to sort fact from
legend came when heavy-duty
equipment was brought in to re-
pair Vasteras Cathedral where
Eric was entombed. Using
cranes, workmen wrenched off
the 2 -ton marble slab over the
King's sarcophague while a Cab- •
inet minister, a bishop, and
other dignitaries looked on.
Thirteen scientists stood by to
put the remains through mod-
ern X-ray and chemical tests.
The Swedes hoped scientists
could prove conclusively wheth-
er Eric had been done in, There
were plenty of possible reasons
Was it because of the periods of
insanity that occurred during
his tumultuous eight-year reign?
Or was the plot inspired by the
fact that Eric had offended his
brothers by marrying a lowly
born mistress (her father was a
corporal) whom he met one day
while she was out shopping for
cabbages in the market place?
The historical and personal
facts were that Eric spoke Latin,
French, and German; he loved
wine, women, and lute playing
He 'distrusted noblemen and
once threatened to send his bro-
ther John's wife off to Ivan the
Terrible in Russia after John
h a d unsuccessfully revolted
against him.
Beset by wars and intrigues
as Swedes, Poles,' Danes, Nor-
wegians, Finns, Russians, and
leftover Teutonic knights all
sought to establish themselves
on the Baltic Sen, Eric sought
alliances abroad. But his at-
tempts to marry England's
Queen Elizabeth I and later
Mary Stuart, among others eli-
gibles in European royalty, all
failed, He finally married his
mistress, Karin Mansdottcr, and
was murdered in 1577 in the
dungeon of Orbyhus Castle, 55
They Don't Ask
For Charity
Operation Reliance, Inc., is a
company whose workers are all
severely physically handicapped.
It is a non-profit corporation that
will attempt to show a profit,
and this profit will • be used to
help fellow -disabled Canadians.
It is not a, charity but a legiti-
mate business • toperated in full
and open competition, paying
its workers industry -wide wages.
Its existence is based on its
ability to operate competitively
at a profit.
Traditionally, the employment
of disabled people has been
mostly in sedentary occupations.
'Too frequently it has been at the
level of weaving rugs, caning
chairs or making baskets—low-
pay type jobs.
This manufacturing policy
will be completely opposite.
From the outset they are de-
termined to build a high -skilled
and competitive operation with
as many customers as possible.
At the beginning they will con-
centrate on short -run sub -con-
tracting in the metal stamping,
screw machine products and
metal spinning fields, and will
also utilize the exceptional hand -
skills of some of the workers in
technical assembly work. In ad-
dition, they plan to manufacture
and market a line of hand -made
costume jewellery, The brilliant
young Canadian designer, Lois
Etherington, is creating proto-
types which will be manufac-
tured in "limited editions" and
marketed under the "ORI" sig-
nature.
As the work load increases,
they will enlarge the stall. The
plans now call for a work force
of 30 physically -disabled work-
ers within two years.
Operation Reliance, Inc., is
located in North York near the
intersection of highways 400
and 401 at 214 Pellatt Avenue.
The factory is a new building
containing almost 5,000 square
feet on one floor. Most of the
equipment has been obtained
through the assistance of the
Department of Defence Produc-
tion, Machine Tool Division.
The Rehabilitation Foundation
for Poliomyelitics and the Orth-
opaedically Disabled (March of
Dimes) financed and gave direc-
tion to the original survey lead-
ing up to the formation of Oper-
ation Reliance, Inc. It has also
provided the grant that insures
the necessary operating capital.
Operation Reliance intends to
repay this grant, as if it were a
loan, out of operating profits.
The Foundation, with its ex-
tensive experience in Rehabili-
tation, will continue to provide
its invaluable leadership.
The mission of Operation Re-
liance, Inc., is to encourage and
aid the growth of skills of its
workers so as to provide broad-
er service to industry, at the
same time giving employment
and training to the potentially
capable but presently unem-
ployed disabled worker, They
will disprove occupational disa-
bility and open many new job
opportunities for the physically
handicapped In Canada,
miles northwest of Stockholm.
Legend says that in this tiun-
geon John fed Eric poisoned

Lover Proposed
With Waterfall
The good-looking young man
seemed worried as he sat in the
train chugging monotonously
northwards. The journey seemed
interminable to him.
The train stopped at every
station. Gradually the carriage
emptied until the only other oc-
cupants besides himself was a
matronly woman with a friendly
smile,
The pair struck up a conver-
sation; and the young man sud-
denly said: "Since you look so
kind and understanding, may I
tell you what's worrying me?"
Then he told her. He explain-
ed that a pretty girl would be
meeting him on the next station
and he was uncertain whether or
not to propose to her during the
week -end he was going to spend
in her parents' home.
"Although we've been sweet-
hearts since I was a boy," he
said, "I'm still not quite sure
whether she would make a good
wife for me. How can I know
whether I'm doing the right thing
in proposing?"
"Pm afraid I can hardly advise
you on such a delicate matter,"
replied his companion.
"I've got it!" cried the young
man. "Will you take a good look
at her through the carriage win-
dow and sum her up swiftly for
me? Please help me by giving
me the thumbs -up if you think
the girl would be a good match
for me," he added.
When the train stopped at the
young man's station, she saw him
greet a rosy-cheeked girl dressed
neatly in a navy-blue costume.
She liked the look of her and
thought the pair could make each
other happy.
So up went the matronly wo-
man's thumb as the train con-
tinued its journey. The young
man saw it and smiled happily.
He proposed and was accepted
that night.
There's no end to the odd ways
that men pop the nerve-racking
question. One of the strangest
methods was used in Switzerland
a little while ago by an actor
who was appearing with an at-
tractive girl in an impassioned
love scene.
The stage love -making between
the couple was going well when
the actor suddenly realized that
he really loved the 'girl whose lips
were so close to his.
During a brief pause in the dia-
logue, he whispered with ardor:
"Darling, I love you. Say that
you will marry me."
"I will," she breathed; and
their stage love scene went on.
The audience litle guessed what
had happened. But they were im-
pressed by the realism of the
couple's love -making.
The only man to propose to the
woman of his choice by harness-
ing a waterfall was an American
millionaire named Cyrus K.
Finday. The waterfall was the
famous Bridal Veil Fall in Cali-
fornia and he caused it to make
bis declaration in Morse code.
By means of a big sluice gate
which was alternately raised and
lowered for the right period, the
stream was cut for the fraction
of time necessary to make dis-
tinguishable 'dots and dashes".
"It may seem rather a dotty
way to propose marriage," joked
a friend of the millionaire, "but
he certainly showed her that he
had plenty of dash!"
Only a few weeks ago two
skifflemad youngsters agreed to
marry while dancing at a friend's
party. The boy didn't even bother
to remove the chewing gum from
his mouth as the couple gyrated
and he shouted, 'Let's get mar-
ried next year, shall we?" She
nodded her assent. Fellow skif-
fers will provide the music at
their wedding reception next
June.
A pretty girl who was selling
poppies on Remembrance Day
got talking to an airline steward
who bought several poppies and
then, acting on impulse, said: 'I
think you are altogether charm-
ing, my dear. Please marry me."
She accepted him as they stood
together on the pavement and
the couple are now happily mar-
ried.
Sometimes it's the girl who

BRIDGE BLOCK—The best engineering brains probably couldn't
design a more effective bridge block than this rendering com-
pany truck jammed in a bridge over Blacklick Creek. The

However, thero will be no speculation for the fish in the creek

An old, old, new idea is that
of drinking soup from cups or
mugs. Anciently, coconut shells,
gourds, and prehistorically form-
ed, handleless cups were used
for this purpose. Now, gay mugs
to fit your taste or color motif
may be purchased in many china
departments,
If you have a fireplace, let its
cheerfulness be the center for
your party, and serve hot spiced
soup from a chafing dish at the
fireside. This can be done whe-
ther the soup is to be just your
first course or the entire meal.
If some special TV program is
to be the focal point, it can be
watched with a mug of hot soup

Whether you like soup but-

proposes in unusual circum-
stances. A North of England girl
wrote on the paper of a toffee she
offered to her boy friend during
an evening out: "Will you marry
me?" He was delighted to do so.
When, years ago, the German
liner Elbe met with disaster and
went down, a young man found
himself plunged into the sea with
the girl he had long admired,
As waves threatened to engulf
them, he gasped out his proposal
of marriage, The girl had had no
idea that he loved her, but before
she could reply a big wave car-
ried her away from him, She
survived to tell the story; he was
drowned.
Mr. Robert Foster proposed to
Miss Maureen Atherton on a re-
cord which he sent to her from
New York. She was in Sussex.
She accepted him and after their
wedding, in 1954, they replayed
the record before leaving for
their honeymoon.
During the French Revolution
a French priest named Duval had
to attend to the religious needs
of a beautiful young aristocrat.
He visited her in prison and fell
deeply in love, but could not
declare his feelings because her
jailers were watching them.
On his next visit he outwitted
them by writing his proposal of
marriage on his bald head. She
read it and nodded. She escaped
the guillotine and the pair
married.

Army Doctor
Was A Giri!
Senior Inspector-dreneral of
the Army Medical Corps, Dr,
James Barry, brooked no inter-
ference in his personal affairs,
Snubbing • his brother officers,
often ill-tempered and peevish
to the point of eccentricity, he
yet rose brilliantly high in the
Service.
Gazetted a surgeon -major at
thirty-three, he was soon chief
medical officer at Malta, Then
he successively took charge of
all the military medical units in
South Africa, the West Indies
and Canada.
But everywhere he went he
angrily fought duels, swore like
a trooper and asserted a super -
masculinity oddly at variance
with his dyed red hair and flut-
ing voice.
He flirted outrageously, too at
every garrison ball, always
picking the prettiest girls for
his partners, heedless of wheth-
er they were married or single.
On one occasion, an alarmed
adjutant sent a note asking if
Dr, Barry would be so good as
not to call on his wife when he,
.the adjutant, had to be absent
on duty. But just when ruc-
tions seemed inevitable, Jimmy
Barry always switched his at-
tentions to some other charmer.
The fact remains that James
Barry cherished a secret so for-
midable that it would have led
to instant dismissal — and cer-
tainly a national uproar—had it
ever been known.
Even his confidential valet,
John, never dreamed of the
amazing truth, despite twenty
years of faithful service.
Determined to take his secret
to the grave, Barry ordered
that whenever he died his body
should be sewn in a blanket and
interred immediately, When he
died in 1865, however, he had
already been retired on half -
pay for seven years and civilian
undertakers were sent to pre-
pare him for burial.
What they found made them
hurry to the War Office in be-
wilderment, and the horrified
Nutrition And
By HERBERT POLLACK, M.D.
N.Y. U, Post Graduate
t School of Medicine
Written for NEA Service
NEW YORK — (NEA) — It
Is now an accepted fact that the
basis for good health and well-
being is optimum nutrition,
As a consequence, one of the
first things that occurs to many
people when confronted with a
non-infectious or chronic degen-
erative state is the thought that
the disorder may be of possible
dietary origin, This is not always
true.
In the case of atherosclerosis,
more commonly known as "hard-
ening of the arteries," there is
evidence that the food intake
may be one of the important
contributors. To date, it has not
been possible to locate the speci-
fic nutritional factors involved.
Under investigation by mediccl
scientists throughout the world
are several dietary constituents:
cholesterol, total fat, soft fats
(vegetable fats and marine oils),
hard fats (saturated fats of ani-
mal origin), artificially hardened
fats (hydrogenated vegetable
oils), certain vitamins (particu-
larly (B6), total calories and the
closely associated obesity and
exercise, starches, and certain
types of protein.
Out of this complexity certain
facts begin to emerge. Dietary
cholesterol, or the cholesterol
you eat, plays a very minor, if
any role in the development of
atherosclerosis. Evidence that
tends to relate atherosclerosis to
the fat intake is difficult to
separate from that which relates
it to total caloric intake, obesity
and exercise.
Experimentally it can be
shown that the soft fats, or vege-
table oils when given as a "for-
mula diet," can lower the cho-
lesterol content of the blood.
Whether this is Important in in-
hibiting the development of ath-
erosclerosis remains to be seen.
A long time will be required to
prove the hypothesis,
Osie very positive fact can be
stated: "The diagnosis of heart
disease caused by atherosclerosis
is made more frequently in the
obese than in people of normal
weight." Does this mean that the
obese have more atherosclerosis,
or that the symptoms develop
rarlier in the obese? Possibly
Loth statements rre true
The sym;,toms of athe:o;-
clerotic heal! disease are ciIU,ld
by a failure oI the blond to early
enough oxygen to the heart
muscle. This is due to a conslrlc-
tion of the blood vessel which
prevents the blood from flowing
freely, hat people must expend
more energy than normal -weight
people, or thin people, when they
• move around as they carry more
weight. Oxygen is required b
burn the food to supply the enei-
gy. Bence, tat people need more
oxygen.
It is common observation that
obese people breathe harder an'l
faster than normal -weight people
director of the Amy Medical
Department ordered his three
best doctors to hold an autopsy
at once. 'Their finding put the
scandal beyond doubt,
Dr, James Barry was a ivo-
man.
The Commander -in -Chiefs or-
dered an immediate inquiry, Dr.
Barry had ranked with the top
brass In a dozen military cam-
paigns, Those were the days
when Florence Nightingale and
her pioneer nurses seemed some-
what shocking. Yet throughout
the Nightingale uproar and the
Crimea War a woman had been
illicity running the medical side
at military headquarters!
It turned out that strings had
been pulled to get Barry into
the Army in the first place.
None other than Field Marshal
Lord Raglan had used his in-
fluence. Barry was a distant re-
lative.
Having no idea that It should
be "Jeannie" rather than "Jim-
my," Raglan instructed that the
young candidate should be pass-
ed into the Army without phy-
sical examination, provided two
certificates of fitness from.civil-
Ian doctors were produced, And
it clearly hadn't taken Jeannie
long to procure, or perhaps
forge, these documents.
What had led her to under-
take her amazingly masquer-
ade? Fact by fact, after her
death, the story leaked out.
Daughter of a Scottish laird,
Jeannie as a romantic teenager
had fallen desperately in love
with a junior doctor.
Then he was suddenly order-
ed to join Wellington's army in
Spain, a posting equivalent in
those days to years of exile.
Vowing to follow him Jeannie
knew that a woman in those
days could not travel far alone.
But she soon hit on a plan.
She cut her hair, wrapped
bath towels around her body to
give her figure the stocky sem-
blance of a man, and as "Jimmy
Barry" took up medical studies
at Edinburgh University.. Ob-
servant students noticed that
she always carried her elbows
Inward like a girl rather than
outward like a man.
She took her degree brilliant -
Your Arteries
as soon as they exercise. Any
constriction of the blood vessel
will interfere with the flow of
the oxygen -carrying blood. The
degree of interference will be
proportional to the amount of
constriction of the blood vessel.
When the individual is at rest;
the constriction may not be great
enough to prevent the,small
amount of oxygen requirefrom
getting to the heart muscle. As
the oxygen demands increase,
the interference becomes more
noticeable. Since fat people re-
quire more oxygen than thin
people to walk the same distance'
at the same speed, their harden-
ing of the arteries is noticed very
quickly.
The same findings apply to
thin people with atherosclerosis.
When they walk they have no
symptoms. If they run, causing
a rapid increase in oxygen re-
quirements, then symptoms may
result,
Many fat people need as much
oxygen when they walk slowly
as thin people do when they run
fast. Therefore, regardless of tho
part obesity plays In the develop-
ment of atherosclerosis, it is im-
portant for the afflicted indivi-
dual to reduce his weight rapidly
to spare the heart work,
The hormones of endocrine se-
cretions may play some part In
the development of atherosclero-
sis. There is a much higher incl•
dencc in mortality from heart
attacks among males in the age
group of 90-59 than among fe-
males in the same age group in
this country.
This difference in incidence de-
creases markedly after women
ly and eittered the array 'as a
medical assistant, Posted to Gib-
raltar, she discovered too list,
that her lover had been killed,
Yet Jeannie Barry had in fact
become the world's first woman
doctor and there could now be
no turning back. Her grief
found solace In her work. In an
official report Lord Albermarle
stated how deeply he was im-
pressed by this "most skilful of
physicians,"
With hair-raising luck, Dr,
James Barry passed unscathed
through epidemics and epic bat-
tles to die finally in her bed.
Then War Office chiefs decided
that at all costs they could not
risk exposure of the dynamite
fact that the Army's top doctor
had been n woman.
So the doctor was buried as
a man, and the simple tomb-
stone gave no clue to sex, In
the end, it was Charles Dickeni
who revealed the amazing facts
in his magazine, 'Household
Words.'

have gone through their change
of life at which time there is a
marked loss of female hormones.
It is possible that the female
sex hormone plays a role in the
prevention of hardening of the
arteries. There is some experi-
mental evidence that the concen-
tration of cholesterol in the blood
of the male can be influenced by
the administration of female sex
hormones.
It Is much too early to say
whether this treatment can actu-
ally decrease the number of
heart attacks in the males or In
females during later life.

The implications of the rela-
tionship of fat to the develop-
ment of atherosclerosis have re-
sulted in investigations of the
other main foodstuffs, proteins
and carbohydrates.
The former occurs mostly to
meats, dairy products and certain
leguminous vegetables. The lat-
ter are commonly known as
starch and sugar. The result ,f
these investigations to date re-
emphasizes the fact that any
radical attempt to alter the diet
can result in many problems.
The best advice that can be
given today is to eat a well-
rounded diet that supplies all
the minerals and vitamins, pro-
teins and sufficient calories to
maintain the optimum weight.
My suggestion is that you eat
daily some meat or dairy prod-
uct, green and yellow leafy vege-
tables, fruit, and whole grain or
enriched flour products. Over-
consumption of any one food
group is not to be encouraged,
Maintenance of desirable weight
is essential.

NO EGG.ON HIS FACE: Experimental animal in SI. Luke's Hos-
pital, Chicago, protests offer of cholesterol -rich egg from Dr.
C. Bruce Taylor, who has induced hardening of arteries 111
monkeys with high cholesterol food. Tie -1n between diet and
atherosclerosis in humans has yet to be proved.
Tweed Makers
in The Hebrides
Winter is always hard on the
barren isles of the Hebrides,
standing west of Scotland, as
Icy Arctic winds come howling
across a thousand miles of the
North Atlantic and smash the
sea against the rocks of Lewis
and Uist and Barra. Usually,
the islanders themselves are
snug enough in their thatch -
roofed stone cottages, working
their hand looms and turning
out the world-famous Harris
tweed -named after the south-
ern peninsula of Lewis Island,
But last month, the island folk
did not feel so secure as they
sat weaving elpth before their

America has become the is-
land's biggest customer, buying
about 2 million yards a year, a
third of the output. But starting
last July, American orders
dwir'led to practically nothing
after the 25 per cent import
duty was raised to 45 per cent,
a move U.S. tariff laws dictate
when imports exceed 5 per cent
o! average annual domestic pro-
duction over a three-year per-
iod. A drive to abolish this tar-
iff provision led to heated hear-
ings last month before the Com-
mittee for Reciprocity Informa-
tion, and now the tweedmakers
of the Hebrides are anxiously
waiting for the report.

with colors from moss and
lichen scraped from the rocks,
they have found markets for
their cloth, From Lewis, tweed
crossed to mainland Scotland,
thence to London, and, thanks
to the philanthropic. interest of
soap magnate Lord Leverhulme,
to world markets. Fleeces are
now washed and dyed in four
• big woolen mills on Lewis; the
thread Is carded on new $50,000
machines; but the weaving is
still done by hand.
As for today's new markets,
spinning mill manager Robert
Stewart says; 'There's Germany
coming up fast, and there could
be Russia, too. But," he adds,
"America's the market we're
geared to serve, and the one we
prefer. Besides, Americans now
lead in setting men's fashions
for tweed,"
Whatever the market, the im-
portant thing to the islanders is
to keep making and selling their
famous product. Observes Pres-
byterian minister Murdoch Mac-
rae, who helped them found the
Tweed Association and who
went to Washington to plead
their cause last year: "If we do
not keep the tweed, we shall
not keep our young men." To
the pastor, Harris tweed is more
than another article of com-
merce. It's a way of life. "Our
cloth is the product of a coun-
tryside where men are still free
of the evils of the city," he says,
"where the skill of men's hands
is still the finest thing." -From

An Mixed Up
When the handsome young
Dutchman stepped ashore at
Amsterdam, determined to clinch
a three - year l o v e affair, he
f o u n d himself clasped in the
arms of a girl he had never seen
in his life.
After his first meeting with his
sweetheart in New York he had
courted her ardently by corres-
pondence and finally popped the
big question by airmail,
In fact she had already mar-
ried someone else but didn't
have the heart to let him know)
So his letters were opened and
answered by proxy by a younger
girl, a friend,
The arrangement worked out,
for the young Dutchman soon
realized that his Miss Wrong
could become Mrs. Right after
all, and wedding bells happily
sealed matters,
Less happy were the results
when a young man strolled up
the beach, after a swim at Amal-
fi, Italy, and pulled on some-
one else's slacks, 7n the pocket
he discovered a love letter from
his wife. The mistake in trou-
sers led to a marital separation.
Equally unromantic was the
outsize error when Mr. J.. .F.
Westwood, of Cheshire, opened
his electricity bill recently --for
over $3,000 !
Within a few hours harassed
officials traced the mistake,
Specks of dust had caused an
electronic accounting machine to
fling up the wrong figure.
In the same way, the British
Inland Revenue authorities once
sent out a $3,000,000 tax demand
by mistake. Subsequently .it was
alleged in the courts that a man
accused of fraud had used it to
impress his victims !
A mistake described by a
judge as "unique in the history
of tailoring" occurred when a
tailor mixed up two tickets. So
a pair of trousers belonging to
a band official were turned into
a skirt, instead of being let out
at the waist. The bank official
eventully recovered $40 damages,
Then there was the mix-up
when a man ordered a wreath to
be sent to a funeral and birth-
dity flowers to a woman friend.
Indignantly she 'phoned him to
ask why her birthday flowers
bore condolences - and with a
shudder he realized that the
floral tribute on his friend's cof-
fin bore the message, "Many
Happy Returns of the Day."

FORMOSAN HARVEST -Although new farming techniques have
aided rice growers on Formosa, the harvesting is still done in
the old-fashioned way by this worker in a field at Taichung.
The stalks are beaten against a sieve over a screened tub to
shake the rice grains free. This year's harvest -1,900,00 metric
tons -is the largest in the history of Nationalist China, and more
than enough to feed the island's 10 million residents. A surplus
of 200,000 metric tons will be exported to Japan.

In viewing the past year with
assiduous analysis, .and project-
ing prophetically into the year
ahead, it seems that life down
here on the farm, will undoubt-
edly run about so-so. (I don't see
any reason why these year-end
summaries and prognostications
are the exclusive technique of
General Motors and Wall Street,
etc.)
The past year was dry in some
months, although we had preci-
pitation in others. Fortunately
the excessive lack of rainfall
didn't accumulate destructive
nonmoisture to the point of
disaster until after most of the
crops had matured. But continu-
ing deficiencies of precipitation
caused a lot of wells to go dry,
with resultant necessity of water
transportation f r o m available
sources to points of requirement,
particularly by truck, writes
John Gould in the Christian
Science Monitor.
* • •
Leon Bard did most of the
hauling in this vicinity, using a
600 -gallon tank on his dump
body, and as the season ad-
vanced he could hardly keep up.
Our own water supply was ade-
quate, but this was an excep-
tion in the neighborhood. Mr.
Bard would fill his tank at a
hydrant in town, then come and
dump the ioad in your well.
There has been some discussion
as to how much of a load like
that will stay in a well so you
can get the good of it, and how
much will seep through the
ground and be lost to you - the
conclusion being, largely, that
it depends on the well..
* *
However, 1957 was a good
year as far as , bugs and state
inspectors are concerned, For
some reason that I have not
fathomed various pestiferous
insects and agents were scarce.
I didn't see a potato bug all
summer, and there were rela-
tively no tent caterpillars. Aphis
were negligible, In the early
season considerable activity
with fungicides was essential,
but when control was establish-
ed and the dry period came
along, further vigilance seemed
unnecessary, with a resultant
saving in the cost of chemicals,
and a chance to sleep later in
the mornings.
•
Expectation of a similar sat-
isfactory condition in 1958 is
probably overoptimistic. The
temporary decline in activity
will undoubtedly be followed
by a compensating upswing, and
the tent caterpillars will return
until the landscape looks like
Monday washlines, and the snail
will be crowded off his thorn
from all directions.
• • •
The financial accrual in 1957
was lean, and a number of my
usual philanthropies suffered. I
had been supporting a great
many foreign causes in the hope
they might someday reciprocate
and make things easier for n1e,
but an unwelcome stringency
forced me to curtail in many di-
rections, Unless 1958 shows a
marked improvement in the ex-
chequer this same unfortunate
retrenchment must continue.
• •
Physical expansion and plant
and equipment replacement was
not a major factor in 1957. The
wind, which was brisk one eve-
ning in late fall, carried away
a few shingles from the shed
roof, ripped oil' a piece of the
barn paper, and blew my corn-
crib off its posts, Repairs were
made by the maintenance crew
at a cost of 32 cents for a can
of tar cement, (Shingles were
in Inventory,)
• • •
A routine inspection in early
summer revealed that four posts
under the ell had rotted at the
base, caused by dampness in the
ground and the proximity of the
lower portions of the posts to
this condition. Replacement was
voted by the directors, and
funds provided. New posts were
secured from the company
woodlot, spruce being specified,
and bark was removed with a
drawshave. Ends were squared
with a bucksaw, Used boards
(from a redeemed hogpen) were
used to erect cement forms for
new, and higher, footings for
the posts, and after the cement
had hardened the posts were in-
serted with the assistance of a
screw jack, a crowbar, a peavey
and a 16 -pound maul.
Total cost was under $2 (al-
though a man down the road
,• did approximately the same job
on a piazza, using contract la-
bor from the local pool, and in-
cluding compensation insurance
his cost was $215,34). The board
of directors, upon presentation
of this report, moved a vote of
confidence and spread its grati-
tude upon the records.
• • *
In the cabbage department, -
1957 saw a condition of overca-
pacity, necessitating a high in-
ventory at a time when consu-
mer demands were somnolent.
This was true in both the red
and white divisions, Unless the
market requirements revitalize
within a few weeks, the outlook
for spring is bleak.. Storage is
adequate, but the perishable 'sa-
tire of the product minimizes
the success of the long haul.
Employees have been encour-
aged to make use of this over-
stock at cost, with moderate re-
sults. • • •
Plans for 1958 include expan-
sion of the departments of pic-
nics, camping trips, and canoe-
ing. This operation has been
dominant in such phases as hoe-
ing, mowing, and growing; and
emphasis is to be transferred to
going, blowing, and rowing.
There are also plans for increas-
ed activity in the hammock de-
partment, • • •
The year 1957 was short on
raspberries and 'long on blue-
berries, and efforts will be made
in 1958 to bring this discrepancy
into a closer equalization in the
interests of diversification. The
asparagus is expected to rise
sharply, but root crops will re-
main low. The seasonal demand
for rhubarb should hold up.
Viewing the situation over-all,
I would say there is little cause
for alarm, and some reason to
feel the future will be signifi-
cant.
PROBABLY
"Thunder will boom," shouted
a soap -box orator as he described
the Day of Judgment. "Lightning
will strike! Rivers will overflow!
Flames will shoot down from the
heavens! There will be storms,
floods, earthquakes!"
The crowd pondered for a
while.
A little girl in the crowd
looked up anxiously at her
mother. "Mummy," she whisper-
ed, "will they give us the day
off from school!"
DETERMINED
"Yes," said Mrs. Haines proud-
ly, as the group was discussing
her husband,,after dinner, "Rich-
ard hasn't had a drink for over
a year." ,
"That's wonderful," said a
guest, "it takes a strong will to
do that."
"Yes," answered the wife.
"That's what I've got!"

LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay LVarreas
B.A,, B,D.
The Church at Worship
Matthew 18:19-20; John 4:211 -UO;
Acts 1:12.14; Colossians 3:10-17.
Memory Selection: It is writ -
len, My house shall be called
the house • of prayer. Matthew
21:13.
Worship is defined as paying
divine honors to God, especially
through religious reverence and
homage. In a somewhat broader
sense we usually think of it u
including all those activities
through which our fellowship
with God is promoted. To those
who do not know God in a per.
sonal way through the saving
power of Jesus Christ, worship
Is a rather cold and formal con-
cept. But to the born-again be-
liever it is a living, warm and
exhilarating experience.
Take prayer for instance.
Jesus denounced as hypocrites
those who prayed in public
places to be seen of men. In
contrast he urged the disciple
to pray in his own room with
the door closed, (Matt. 6:5, 6.)
But there is also a challenge to
unite with others in prayer.
Jesus said, "It two of you shall
agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it
'•all be done for them of my
Father which is in heaven." The
portion of today's lesson from
Acts illustrates the importance
of prayer with the larger group,
too.
It is the spirit of one's wor-
ship and not the place which 5
more important. The sick room
may be a very Bethel to the
suffering soul. A man may be
seated in a church pc- but his
mind be far from worshipping
God in spirit and in truth. One
came to my service :.pparently
to worship. But events that fol-
lowed indicated that his purpose
to impress me with his desire
for religion was part of a plan
to deceive me and get some
money. He succeeded. But later,
while working another client, he
was apprehended by the police
and committed to prison.
Singing is an important part
of worship. Strangely enough,
some who at a party will lust-
ily sing, "For he's a jolly good
fellow," can scarcely be heard
at worship. The drawn and so-
ber countenance helps to furl' er
accentuate the contrast. It ought
not to be so. We are to teach
and admonish one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing with grace in our
hearts to the Lord.
If we love God with all our
heart and soul we will delight
to worship Him.
GREETINGS !

planted by the Opelika, Ala., Rotary Club, The seedling was
planted as part of the club's campaign to put 35,000 acres of
idle lee Cour.ty land into productive forest crops. As the
years went b'y (see photos below) the tree outdistanced the
boy in growth. Now 12 -year-old Wallace has graduated to a
Boy Scour uniform, and the tree -'well, it's well on its way
to being ready for pulpwood. Before Wallace is ready for
college in 1963, the trees will be ready for pulpwood thinning.
The club hos planted more than three million trees.
