Lady

Everything the lovely little lady is wearing
from the Soles of her slippers to the ribbon
on her hat is product of the chemical in
dustry, made out Of such ordinary materials
as coal, salt, sand, wood-pulp and natural
gaS-resources found in great abundance
along the 500 miles of the Chesapeake
and Ohio.
The chemical industry is growing at a
tremendous rate, with many of its new
plants going up along the Chesapeake and
Ohio. Each new or expanding factorymeans
diversified growth for Chesapeake and Ohio
mot merely the raw materials that go into
the plant and the finished goods that come
out, but homes, schools, groceries for the
people who come to work there.
AS one result Of such industrial growth,
C&O's merchandise freight business is four
times what it was twenty-five years ago. To
better serve its booming industry, C&O has
spent half billion dollars in the last ten
years expanding and undermining its trans
portation plant Equally significant is the
fact that SOS of this vast improvement pro-
gram has been paid for out of current in
come. And last year, the annual dividend
rate was increased to $3.50.
Another 500 million in further improve
ments is programmed for this year: At
Newport News, Va, a new bulk cargo pier
that can unload over eight million tons Of
import ore year; and new addition to
the great coal docks that will increase their
capacity to 2H million tons a month At

THE DETAILS


MRS. b. r. T.-My husband
and I have come to a very seri-
Gus disagreement because Of my
concern for our daughter, an
only child, who is now Is. My
husband does not earn very much
money and we cannot afford, on
his salary. to give her the things
she should have.
I would like Florence to have
a nicer home to which she would
be happy to invite friends, and
I would also like her to go to
college. I do not expect my hus-
band to leave his job in order to
find a better-paying one, be-
cause he can look forward to a
good pension on his present job.
1t is my thought that could
hold down sales job and earn
enough for all the extras. But
my husband is furious at the
suggestion. I really do not have
enough to do, and I think it
would be fine thing for Flor
ence If she knew were working
for her benefit and if, on that
account, she had to learn a little
about housework and help out
in the house.
think my husband is un-
reasonable and vain about this.
b. r. TT have a civil service
Job. but I have reasonable hope
Of rising to a much better posi-
ton. I do not think it will help
If it is known in the community
that my wife is helping to sup
port me.
Besides, 1 cannot understand
how she will hold down a Job
without neglecting our home and
our daughter. My wife talks
about getting nicer home to
which Florence could invite
friends. but 1 think it is more
important that Florence have a
mother who can do things for
her and be around when her
friends call.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Be Glad of an Optimist Doctor
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: How can
you tell whether or not a patient
is going to live or die? My hus-
band is very sick; yet our doctor
says he is sure he will live. Sin
|cerely. Mrs. M. M.
ANSWER: Be thankful for
having a doctor who is an opti-
mist. He is also courageous.
Too many of us doctors would
hesitate to come right out and
make a statement like that. We
tend to hedge. We are not
anxious to have to do too much
explaining when our prognosis
for recovery has backfired. Yet,
If there is any hope left at all
for the patient, l believe that
the optimistic doctor will pull
him through more often than his
hesitant and less cheerful COL
league.
do not believe in giving false
hopes to patient or family. But
where there is a ghost of a
chance, the doctor should fight
his adversary with strength and
abandon.
F0recasting Inexact
From the time of Hippocrates
to the newest MD, prognosis
(the art Of forecasting) has re-
NAMED an inexact science. 1t
is more an art. An art-learned
in the school of experience-of
living with hope and faith for
the happy outcome of every
patient you treat. OF realizing
that when life seemingly hangs
by a thread. you are often
pleasantly relieved to find that
it hangs by a strong cord. OF
becoming imbued with the phi
losophy Of optimism. Not blind
optimism; knowing full well of
the devious ways of disease; it's
traps, its false starts and stops;
its desire only to annihilate.
An optimism that feeds on
faith in the many advances
medicine has made in diagnosis
and treatment. Hope and faith
are what the modern doctor
should be able to offer the pa
tient and family. The good fight
win or lose-is all any of us
can expect when we are called
upon to tusSle with death.
1t is reassuring to have in our
corner one who never says die.
Who instills you with courage
to get up from the canvas after
repeated knockdowns. We never
know when the tolling of the
bell ending the round will save
you from the forefinger that
wants so much to count ten and
out"
No Diseases Hopeless
The more I practice the more
I realize that no disease is hope
less until the patient is no longer

for patient understanding and

~~-~>--->-->-~>-->~-> -->--->->->-@-~>---~
for patient understanding and
compromise.
The, husband has some good
reasons for objecting. to his wife's
proposal, but she has good rea-
sons for wishing to work. Aside
from the ambition to provide
better for the daughter, the need
to develop a new interest should
be recognized. Florence, now Is,
may be on her own before many
years, and the wife will have
even less to keep her bhsy at
home.
Clearly, it is desirable that
the wife refrain from taking
the kind of work that would
make her husband feel conSpicu-
GUS. 1t is also to be questioned
whether, at this state. she should
consider full-time employment.
Since there is no urgency, Mrs.
B. r. T. should abandon the
project Of seeking q full-time
job. but her husband should
agree that they explore the pos
sibilities of her getting into some
part time arrangement tn a t
would broaden her interests as
well as provide some income.
Such work may not be readily
found. but there are opportuni-
ties for gainful part-time en-
.ployment for women of respon-
sibility and Judgment.
No good can come Of exagge-
rating the problems. 1t has been
exaggerated because each has
feared the determination Of the
other.

D. T., Alexandria

Dear Readers: Here are my
comments on a few questions
readers have sent in over the
past few months. I wish I had
taken time to write each time
an inquiry appeared for which
I had a helpful answer. But
perhaps this letter will be
helpful to others with the
same problems.
Regarding terminal sterili-
zation of baby's formula, /,
too. had trouble with stopped
up nipples and tried many
tricks and combinations OF
tricks. The one that worked
for me is this: When adding
water to the canned milk, use
COLD water. If you must
melt sugar or Dextri Thaltose
first, use only a small amount
of hot water, stir until melted,
then add the rest of the water
cold.
I also shook each bottle when
sterilized and put it in the re-
frigerator. though / believe the
first suggestion is the real clue
to success.
Regarding worn, hardwood
floors: Ours were in terrible
shape in traffic areas and
dining room where we have
to take all meals) We have
two small children who. spill
food and a. large dog who
tracks in mud, and wax was
soon wiped of.
/ now use a lemon oil furni-
ture polish and the floors have
taken on a lovely lustre, not q
shine. The oil has penetrated
the porous wood and isn't
wiped off easily. Periodic wax
ing and buffing with an electric
polisher gives the wood a fin
ish. This may not be the pro-
fessional way, nor the best way
to care for floors. 1t is the best
method I've discovered, though.
Regarding clothes dryers:
I've had nv GE,-- cleo.
trio dryer for a year and
wouldn't trade it for a full time
maid. Corduroy and towels are
kept soft and wrinkle-free

to the dryer; Clothes shrink a
