New Care
At Hospital

Hundreds of Arizona residents
suffering mild neuropsychiatric
and psychosomatic illnesses may
be saved from eventual commit
ment to the state hospital as a re-
suit of a decision by Memorial Hos
pital, in Phoenix, to open a special
wing for diagnosis and treatment
of their disorders.
The new wing, opened Monday,
May II, has been activated at the
request of the medical staff and
following prolonged consideration
by the Board of Trustees. The ac-
ton follows a trend by larger
hospitals in most metf fOpolitan
areas and recognizes increased pub
lie interest in mental health prob
lens.
Memorial is the first general
hospital in the inland southwest
making its laboratory, X-ray, sur
gical and drug facilities available
for the impatient treatment of
psychiatric and neurOlogic dis
eases and various related disorders.
Absence of such facilities at gen.
eral hospitals open to the public
has often resulted in non-treatment
of physical aspects of nervous dis
orders, thus delaying or preventing
full recovery.

CHARM
BY LOU LuTOUR

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL-Poets
since time began have paid high
tribute to the beauty of the we'll
modulated voice in a woman, and
this is an attribute that is still
priceless. For nothing could be
more pleasing than a quiet, sooth-
ing voice. This does not mean that
it must be dripping with honey and
SO affected that the effort is appar-
ent. 1t simply means that there is
very little that lady has to say
during the course of her day that
cannot be said in a pleasing voice.
1t is worth cultivating!

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-
Dear Miss Ball:
Arizona sun., 1954-05-21

Dear Miss Ball:
l have been married 10 years
and really love my wife. In all
that time l have never considered
another woman romantically. How
ever, my wife is very jealous or
me and is always accusing me or
paying attention to someone else.
l work daily and give her my pay
envelope. She handles all the fl-
nances and decides on our indlvld-
ual spending. She doesn't have too
work outside the home, but spends
her time keeping our two room ap-
artment and preparing meals. do
not feel that my wife steps out on
me, nor does she have any bad
habits except for this great jeal-
ousy.
Last week on the way home,
stopped at my mothers and
stayed too long. When l got home
there was big fuss. 1t was so
noisy that the landlord came up
to speak to us. 1t ended by my wife
running out. She went over to see I
nv mother and to check on me.
How can 1 prove 1 am true to my
wife? I feel terrible when we
quarrel over such things. Please
help me if you can.
Observation-Disclosures
Dear Benjamin:
1t is unfortunate that there are
Jealous people in the world. Fre-
quently they act and speak with
out thinking things through, ana
often take the word of other
people. This is. bad, because many
times other people say things just 4
to stir up trouble.
1t might be that your wife does
not have enough to do, and time
drags for her. When you are late
coming home, particularly when
she has prepared special dish for
you which must be served immed-
lately, she is angry. You might
keep this sort of thing in mind and
be sure you don't offend on that
score. After all, she must feel she
is important to you, and she can't
feel that way if you consider her
preparation of your meals as q
minor thing you can skip if you
want to.
1t sounds very much like your
wife needs to have a part time
job-one that will take her away
from the house just long enough
to give her change of scenery
and keep her stepping to get dim
ner ready by the time you get
home. This might give her whole
new outlook.
You must show your wife how
much she means to you, and help
her to understand that by display
ing jealousy, she is really working/
against herself and can drive you
to do the things of which she now
accuses you. Good luck to both of
you.
