Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Believe
me doctor, ] am writing to you
as if I were talking to you. II
may seem trivial to you, but
am skeptical about what most
doctors say about functional
Imurmurs. I can't seem to talk
Ito other doctors about how I feel
because / freeze when I talk
about the heart. Here is my
problem.
Several months ago / took
my boy John, four; to a pedia-
trician for a general checkup.
After the doctor was through
examining his heart. he said
"Oh, (nonchalantlyl he might
have a slight murmur.
IT was SO shocked that don't
know why I didn't pass out. My
sister has a rheumatic heart and
her baby was born with a defec-
tive heart valve. Since I've been
to the doctor with John I've
been pretty heart conscious. But
this doctor did tell me there was
nothing wrong with his heart.
If that's true, then why did he
even bother to mention it, if his
heart wasn't involved?
Heart Specialist
"The next day I brought John
to a heart specialist. He was
examined with the stethoscope
for about five minutes and then
under the microscope. The YER
dict: Absolutely nothing wrong.
Il felt wonderful and forgot
about it completely until about
a month later when John was
due for a booster shot. He was
taken to a neighborhood clinic.
General exams come with these
shots. While he was examining
Johns heart the doctor said;
Has he been sick?' He placed
John in another position and
said: I guess he's all right. For
a minute I thought Isheard a
murmur when he was on his
left side

den ever to mention here, she
said hurrah, when do we start.
Well, the political situation got
pretty hot in Guatemala and
nothing came of the idea and I
haven't thought of it since, until
this very minute.
An actor friend of mine, whom
you see frequently on the screen,
put his savings in an onion farm
in New Jersey and now he makes
so much money he never worries
about being at liberty.
When I told that certain party
that we should do the same thing,
she just said she was for it 100
per cent and if we had any saw
ings we'd start for New Jersey
tomorrow. I opened a small saw
ings account with this in mind,
but nothing ever came of it.
She Always Goes Along
BARRIERS and mattresses can
always get work any place in the
world and once I got a great
idea about this. Why couldn't I
take a short course at a BARRIERS
college and that certain party
learn to wait table? Then we
could start out and travel all
over Europe, Asia, Africa and
South America, see the world
and have never a care.
Well, her face lighted up and
she slapped a hat on her head
and said, Darling, at last you've
come up with something. Let's
go! Well, with this and that, we
never got around to it.
But she won't fight. She tells
people I've hunted the source of
the Orinoco in a canoe, drifted
with the currents on a raft
across the Pacific, opened a hotel
in Nairobi, raised horses for
western movies, have taken a
job as correspondent in Cape
Town and she's never missed me
IA single night since we were
married.
You see, she always goes along.

Wednesday: Women know how to get
rid Of unwonted male quests.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-19
By KEN DUvALL

There is a lady in California
who is worried about her hus-
band because he is always COM
ing up with ideas that she deems
fantastic and impracticable.
He has a thousand dreams that
will never come true, she says;
dreams OF wealth and travel,
grandiose schemes for whipping
the world. This leads to fights,
she says, and only her own
strength of character saves them
from disaster.
Z How can she bring this
dreamer down to earth and make
him settle into his swell job
selling electrical appliances?
This problem is not peculiar
to the lady in California, and
run across it every once in a
while in what I laughingly call
my social circle" Unhappily,
the wives involved meet the
situation in one of two ways.
They go into a decline, refuse
to eat and go around with great
dark circles under the eyes; or
they scream, lie down on the
floor and kick their feet or bump
their heads against the wall.
!. They always win, but these
methods are very wearing, and
leave a husband with martyr
complex, fully convinced that his
wife is a milestone around his
neck and heading him straight
for a dismal and poverty-stricken
old age.
Exodus To Guatemala
1t might interest wives with
this problem to know how it is
handled at my house. I, too, have
my dreams, some of them quite
solid and practicable and would,
if carried out, bring security and
happiness to our lives.
For example, 1 once got in

posed that we sell everything,

my own age who now wants to
divorce his wife and marry me.
1--WE have been very congenial
in our working relationship. Our
work required us to spend an
occasional evening together. FL
nally it led to our having init
mate relations, but I called a
halt to this when I realized how
ut was destroying Edwin's mar
rage.
Il do not feel Edwin ought to
leave his wife. She made a very
good home for him, is a fine
entertainer, raised his children
well and just doesn't deserve
this kind of treatment in her
old age"
Edwin M.-"My wife and /
have never really been happy
together and since I met Julia,
things have been getting worse
and worse. What Julia says is
true. My wife is a fine woman,
but she has never understood
me and we have now grown so
far apart it seems foolish to
continue this sham marriage
Julia is so good and fine, she
doesn't think about herself, her
own happiness. She is lonely. /
could make her happy. She has
admitted that she was never as
happy with her husband as with
me.
II know my wife and I am
sure she will grant me a divorce
if she knows I am in love with
another woman. We are all ma
ture and principled individuals
and should be able to settle
this"
The Councils View
Julia has played a very cruel
game and Edwin seems excep-
tionally naive.
If Julia really doesn't want
Edwin to get a divorce land this
is possible), she has just used
him to fill her spare time and
add a little excitement to her
life. She wants to enjoy his adj
miration without committing
herself ultimately.
1t is also possible that she
really does want him to get the
divorce and is pushing the situ-
alton to the utmost by disdaining
the role of the bad woman or
'tother woman" Her goodness
makes Edwin even more enam-
ored Of her and gives him the
feeling that their relationship is
a lofty one.
Julia has understood that Ed
win is the kind of man who must
feel that he is acting in accord
ance with the highest principles.
She has gotten him to feel that
the highest principle in this case
would be to scrap his marriage
and marry her, or continue on
their present basis.
Both Julia and Edwin should
look at this affair for what it
iS-an extramarital affair that is
condemned by society and re-
ligion. 1t has seriously disturbed
a long lasting marriage and hurt
at least one other human being.
If there is any goodness in Julia
or principle in Edwin, they will
cut this liaison-both in its per-
sonal and business aspects.

Area Game Would Be Increased Under
SpOrtSmen Clubs New Membership Plan

Prospects for more game in the
Bluffton area were visualized this
week with the announcement that
officers and directors Of the Biuffton
Community Sporstmen's club are con-
sidering a plan for expansion of the
game management department.
The new plan being proposed by the
club would appropriate added sums
of money for the development of hab-
itat, additional restocking and related
activity. The club annually sets
aside several hundred for restocking
of squirrel, pheasants an rabbits.
Under the new plan, outlined by
Don Geiger, supervisor of the game
management department of the club,
a membership card would be used
which would permit members to des-
ignate where their dues are to be
used. This money could go for fish re-
stocking or for game management
and habitat, or both.
John Gilbert, president of the
Sportsmen's club, stated that the
Farmer-Sportsmen's epartm n t,
headed by Ray Cummins, would also
share in the revenue from the sale of
the new membership tickets.
In discussing the plan, Geiger said
that a great many sportsmen of the
area are intensely interested in the
clubs expanding activity in the game
management department. He added
many hunters now enrolled as club
members would support the club if
