Mrs. M. Why husband and
I are all upset over our 16-year-
old daughter, Belle. A yeal ago
she met a sailor at a party and
after that refused to go out with
other boys. When he comes home
on leave, she sees him every
night.
Il argued with her about it
and she broke down and said
she was in love with him and
had had intimate relations with
him once to prove it. She cried
and said it would not happen
again and that they want to get
engaged and be married in two
years, when he gets out OF serv-
ice.
It can't stand this boy now
I don't trust either of them. If
we let them get engaged. it would
look as though we approved and
are giving them the go-ahead
signal"
4 Mr.. M. VIZ say the damage
has been done. For the sake of
Bellies reputation, we've got to
get them tied up in an engage
ment as quickly as possible.
Belle doesn't want to have
anything to do with any other
boys now-and I think that's a
pretty good sign. Why should
we force her? If the same thing
happens with someone else. it'll
Ibe all the worse.
II think this sailor is a nice
straightforward kid. He knew
Belle told us and he came to us
and told us he loved her and
would make everything all right
He took all the blame for what
happened on himself. We're
lucky he wants to marry her.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
These young people have in
deed been honest and above
board. They indicate they have
"a strong sense of their mistake
If they had any intention OF
continuing this kind of relation

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Millions Suffer From Pinworms
BY DR.. PETER J sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
read your columns on tape
worms but have never come
across a discussion of pinworms.
Both my daughter and I suffer
from this nuisance. I have in
tense itching. My daughter is
even worse. She has Nightmares
which the doctor says is a
symptom in some cases.
Il have been rundown and
anemic. ! have lost weight and
am very nervous and suffer from
insomnia My daughter bites
her nails. grinds her teeth at
night and is doing poorly at
school. We sound like two
hypochrondriacs, don't we. But
our doctor assures us that we
are not.
He says that pinworms cause
a lot of troublesome symptoms:
the causes Of which are often
overlooked by both patient and
doctor. We have been taking
gentian violet for treatment. It
seems to help for a while. 1
will be greatly indebted to you
for any additional suggestions.
Sincerely. Mrs. X. ""
Answer: Many a patient with
unrecognized pinworm infesta-
ton has been wrongly labeled a
hypochondriac You have good
enough reason for your COM
plants.
The symptoms that you and
your daughter have are not un-
usual in patients who have PIN
worms. Other symptoms are
loss Of appetite and weight, rest
leSsnesS. abdominal discomforts,
nervousness. thumb sucking and
inability TO relax.
There are estimates that over
Is million people in the United
States and Canada suffer from
ptnworms. Although the condi-
ton Is often associated with
crowded and unssnitary popula-
ton groups. II is also prevalent
among the well-to-do.
Another estimate IS that 40
per cent Of the white population

makes things a little too simple
and will get their relationship
of on a wrong footing, giving
them the feeling that marriage
lis the price they must pay for
their sin. They may begin to re-
sent the punishment before the
two-year engagement is up.
A better approach would be
the positive one-pointing out
that despite their mistake, these
young people have shown hon.
esty and respect for one an
other.
1t is a beginning. They should
be encouraged to think about
their future in practical and

This is being written at the
end of a retirement rainbow,
It's a few miles outside his
toric New Bern, N. c., and if
you could figure retirement on
a slide rule, this would be one
of the most logical spots in
America for the Golden Years,
1 But 1 have found no pot of
gold here. And those of you
who are basking in Florida and
California, and those who are
still in storm window country
may find some sense in why !
haven't.
New Bern is 140 miles or SO
east of Raleigh and only a few
miles from the Atlantic coast.
It's heavy with history-George
Washington slept here once
and it has the quietness and
hospitality that go with such a
heritage. 1t has no extremes OF
wealth. 1t doesn't have many
Joneses for your pension to keep
up with.
Low Costs
i The climate is mild but has
seasons to offer. The homes
aren't to luxurious, so housing
costs less than in the larger
cities of the North and East
Domestic help can be had on a
retirement income. Some acres
can be had. too. for not much
money because the soil here is
not what you'd find in Iowa and
Illinois.
! Yet New Bern, which trav-
eled LIZA miles to see, is nc
better a retirement paradise
than where you are. And the
reason it isn't is because para
disc and the Golden Years are
not in a town. They are in your
heart and in your mind.
New Bern has the same sort
of detergents your grocery store
has. 1t cooks it's eggs the same
way. In this age of mass COM
munications when everybody
reads newspapers, all towns are
that way.
You'll have to penetrate some
remote mountain village where
they don't have RID. in these
days to find a place that is
different.
i With a little imagination you
can kid yourself about this. II
you close your eyes when you
go by the chain drugstore. you
can make yourself believe that
Gallup, N. NJ, is the wild west
A lot of retired people who think
the grass is greener over yonder
kid themselves.
Happy and Miserable
In New Bern I have talked to
people who are happy in retire.
ment, and to Just about as many
who are miserable. 1 talked to
a woman who came to New Bern
four years ago when her hus-
band retired as a corporation
executive in the North. They
bought fine old home and 40
acres six miles out of town. 1t
would be a magnificent place to
entertain New York friends.
But the New York friends
didn't get by this way much. And
10 months ago her husband died.

centuries by fllariasis, and as DR..
Hewitt moved among the print
tive villages he was challenged
more and more to conquer his
three enemies, the microscopic
worms.
He noted the dread fear which
native populations brought to
the disease and the superstitions
Istemming from it. On st. Croix,
in the Virgin Islands, natives
believed that a stream near their
village was the cause of the
disease and the angry spirit OF
the stream would inflict it upon
anyone who ventured into the
water over his ankles.
1t was necessary for DR.
Hewitt to wade into the stream
up to the knees, to splash in it
and swim in it, to prove to the
natives that the answer to their
problems was more complicated
than this.
Developed Drug
DR.. Hewitt returned to his
laboratory and by a tirelesS
process of trial and error finally
developed. during 1945 to 1947
drug which destroys the three
worm parasites and cures the
disease. And having conquered

new medical wars.
asked him what it was that
kept him striving, to what he
owed his success in conquering
a disease which had for Gen.
Ituries threatened so many mil
lions of the worlds people.
/ He replied, We'll, certainly

ing desire to be of benefit to
humanity. 1 don't regard my
self as any kind Of do-gooder OF
humanitarian. I just did it be-
cause l was interested in it. II
was a challenge"
/ Unquestionably DR.. Hewitt
loved humanity. This is part OF
the maturity of any man. But
his success he attributed to an
other love: he loved his work
Strive for Success
/ He even ventured the opinion
that most scientists feel thi.
way. To him Enrich and Pasteul
were simply men passionately
striving for success in then
chosen line of endeavor. He said
Il think they just had a problem
and were interested in licking it.
Perhaps this is the heart Of
true humanitarianiSm. Perhap:
the real do-gooder is the mar
who acts. not talks. Perhaps
there would be more good done
all over the world if more in
dividuals devoted their talents
and energies more pasSionately
to the job of work right under
their noses and less passionately
to redeSigning the globe anc
everything on it.
Perhaps the only real plan fol
achieving peace and human
harmony and a good world is fol-
everyone to mind his own bust
ness and do his job the very
best he can. Ideals fashioned Out
of hot air simply become bal.
looms and fly away; those ham.
mered out of iron by the brawr
of men have a chance of stay
ing with us here on earth awhile
Anyone who seeks success or
the job should look for it right
thereon the job. He is more
likely to find it there than in any
never-never land.

Anglican Asks That Unused
Churches Go 10 Catholics

LONDON - fNC) A sug.
gestion has been made by an
Anglican layman that some un-
used churches of the Church of
England be given to Catholics
for their use.
Ivor Bulmer Thomas, chairman
of the executive committee of the
Historic Churches Preservation
Fund, made this proposal at a
conference here dealing with the
problem Of unused churches.
Thomas said, IF the Church
of England cannot use a church
and the Roman Catholics can, 10y
al Anglican as | am, ! would ra-
ther see it transferred than see
it demolished"
Many Anglican churches are of
Catholic origin, masterpieces Of
architecture and craftsmanship
seized during the Reformation.
Others are more recent buildings
erected on old Catholic sites.
Shifting populations, shrinking
endowments, the slide in the
number Of Anglican clerics and
the slump in Protestant worship
generally have resulted in the
abandonment of some churches,
especially in the now commercial
lied centers of the big cities.
Roman Catholics are the on
ly denomination likely to want
more of them in large numbers,
