THE DETAILS
CharIeS-My father is a sales
representative who visits shops
and factories in the area, driv-
ing company coupe. He is
past 80 and could retire but it
is the last thing he is willing
to do, although our family could
manage between a small pension
he would get and the amounts
my brother and l could contrib
ute.
About year ago. one of his
Superiors suggested that he might
retire or work part-time, and
my father Stormed all over the
house at the suggestion and spoke
of this man as if he were an
enemy. l made it my business
to talk to that man. and l found
him to be a very decent fellow
VINO had the notion that my
father was not quite we'll.
Actually. he is in very bad
shape He has high blood pres
sure and a stormy disposition.
and the doctor has told us that
If he cannot control his emo
tons and exertions. he may go
off at any minute. l feel it is
necessary to tell him just where
he stands and to compel him to
quit work, but l cannot get the
rest OF my fanny to agree with
me, and l hesitate to take all
the responsibility on myself,
strongly though l feel about it..
Frank-The doctor may not
have spoken to our father as
bluntly as to us, but I am sure
he told him he has high blood
pressure. Occasional remarks by
my father indicate to me that he
not only knows his condition.
but realizes death can come at
once. He talks with increasing
frequency about death and de-
tails connected with il.
What I fear is that we may
bring on the very thing we want

I recall a frightened patient
who sat across my desk a few
years ago. He was a 200 FOUNDER
with strong face. set off by a
granite like. square chin.
Sweat was dripping from his
forehead. his pupils were wide
and wild. He kept swabbing
himself with an diversified hand
kerchief. Only with effort was
he able to speak. Even then. his
first words were an unintelligible
stammer.
At last he pulled himself to-
gether. Doctor" he said. its
nice of you to see me on such
short notice. I'm sure you could
tell by my phone conversation
that just had to come in today
I'm terribly worried about my
heart. I'm ashamed of myself,
but l can't help acting like a
cry-baby.
Fact is, I'm scared TO death
I've been a healthy fellow all my
life. Therefore l can't under
stand why a full-grown man
should go to pieces worrying
about his heart,
1T all began last night. a few
minutes after l got into bed. My
heart fluttered. I thought it was
going to stop. I was up all night,
too frightened TO move
Il didn't wake up my wife
She has been an invalid for two
years. So I lay there. not NOV
ing a muscle. thinking l was
going to die any minute"
Fellow Golfer Stricken
I asked him the usual Qucs-
tons. His history certainly did
not suggest organic heart di-
Sease. His answer to the follow
ing question put me on the right
track: Has there been a recent
death among your family OF
friends due TO heart disease?"
In reply, he convulsed his huge
body in fit of uncontrolled sob
bing. When he quoted down I
distinguished these words: My
best friend died suddenly three
days ago while we were walking
10 the ninth tee. You never saw
healthier specimen.
AT the time l surprised my
self was so calm. And for
the next few days-untll last
night was sick with grief. but
l didn't let it unnerve me. Then.
last night, it struck me that this
heart flutter might kill me. I
swear, doctor, it isn't myself I'm
afraid for. It's the fear that
may die and leave my wife with
out ANYBODY TO take care OF her
like I have +"
Examination proved that this
mans heart was normal. There
was no enlargement. There were
no murmurs. His electrocardio-
gram was normal. Blood pres
sure and laboratory tests were
also negative.
His was a typical case OF
imaginary heart trouble. As in
thousands of other people. It
was precipitated by the sudden
unexpected death of close
friend whom he thought 70 be
healthy

nervous reaction was probably

Romans Named
Romans Named Month Of
January for fwo-Faced Janus

The early Romans named their new year in honor Of Janus. a two
faced god who was believed to have the power to look back over the
past and. in a prophetic way. into the future.
He was represented with a key in his hand, symboizing his power
to open doors and gateways, and this holiday was one of great gayety.
The festival was not observed in midwinter, but in the spring, when
the Roman year began. At first, the Roman calendar had only ten
months, but later January and February were placed at the beginning
of the year and the New Year was celebrated On the first OF January.
AS early as TAT BIC, the Romans gathered gifts of bay and palm
for New Years presents. AS the years passed and Rome prospered,
the gifts became more elaborate and in time it became the custom to
bestow them upon the emperor, a habit that contributed greatly to
the wealth of the Caesars. Claudius, recognizing the fact that the
giving had graduated through the years from a voluntary tribute to a
regarded duty, issued a decree limiting the amount which might be
given.
Rome continued to celebrate the New Year until the Christian en-
perors. The idolatrous rites of the people, however, caused the church
to ban Christians from participating in the celebrations, and it was
not until December rs was legally fixed IS the date of the Nativity
that the church made January a religious festival, in commemora-
ton of the circumcision of Jesus.

The Autumn Season


In America the terms autumn
and fall mean almost the same
thing. There are differences in
usage in different English speak
ing countries of the Northern
Hemisphere And the months OF
autumn are different in the
Southern Hemisphere where the
seasons are in reverse order. What
ever the differences, it is fav-
orite season with millions of peo-
pie throughout the world
The word autumn seems to be
of uncertain origin, but likely
Latin through French to English
1t is generally recognized as the
third season Of the year. The diff
ferent dictionary definitions refer
to the harvest of fruit, maturity OF
decline, and to reddish yellow
color 1t is also use as term tC
express past middle life. All OF
these seem descriptive but in our
country autumn is less widely
