This is for the children of the
Golden Years, the adult sons and
daughters of those now living
their COS.
You children are the most pre-
cious time of day to your parents.
You are their pride. You are the
finest letters the mailman ever
brings. You are their faith in a
world they have found not too
faithful. You are about the only
love they have.
And yet. in the main, you have
not done right by them.
Here is how you have failed:
1. Many of you have, for all
practical purposes. abandoned
them. Your day-by-day harasS-
ments have left you little time to
think of those who gave you life.
who reared you well enough for
you to marry. who love you more
in this selfish world than any,
body else on earth. Nobody real
ly loves you. you know-except
your parents.
DispOsing Of Parents i
2. Some of you are commit
ting. or allowing your spouse to
commit. one Of the sorriest omis-
siors in America. You are dis
posing" Of your parents. If they
are on farm or in a small town
and in their later years aren't
doing too well. you are concerned
with keeping them where they
are even if it means sending
them a check every month. You
don't want them to move in on
you. Or your spouse will have
none Of it.
II your parents are in III
health and need care and If you
can possibly yank the money out
Of your budget, you are sending
them to nursing home or to an
old folks home. Your parents
spanked your behind when you
went outdoor in winter without
Ia coat-because they wanted to
protect you for a good life-and
yet you do this to them at a time
Iof life when they need q shelter

3. Most Of you do not recog-
nize the fact that your father.
or your spouSe's father, faces q
financial crisis the day he retires
and comes home with a third Of
what he has been earning. You
don't br Sch the subject and II
anybody else does you are in

4. Many Of you haven't had

How to

Fear of Cancer Is Worst Enemy
By DR.. PETER J STEINcRoHN

within two hours. There we're
signs of restlessness and severe
pain. There was foam around the
mouth, the legs were blue and
the skin over the whole body was
cold and clammy. Its belly was
as hard as a board and the pulse
was rapid and thin. The child
was too i'll to recognize its
parents.
Five hours after admission, the
child received an injection Of 2.3
&C. Of hemolymph collected from
IS scorpions FUSED on the same
principle that anti-snake venom
is used. Within two hours the
child became fully conscious and
further improvement took place
without complication.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Have you
ever been in a spot where you
found things were so difIicult
that you Sweated blood? Well,
I have-but I've never seen red
sweat. Is it possible? G. S.
Answer: You. and many other
readers, I'm sure, will be inter-
eSted in a letter written by a
Pennsylvania physician to the
American Medical Association:
"Is it possible for a person
under severe stress or emotional
strain to sweat blood as a nat
ural phenomenon? Are there
any natural disease processes or
situations where blood might ap-
pear on the surface Of the intact
skin and thus be interpreted as
sweat?
Here is one answer: 1T is
physiologically impossible to
sweat blood, even though under
conditions Of emotion, especially
sudden embarrassment, the YES
sells of the face and neck may
become greatly engorged even
to the point of causing petechial
hemorrhages, but these are al
ways simultaneous and do not
involve outright bleeding"
At times you may feel that it
is surely blood, sweat and
tears"-but however great your
dilemma. scientists agree that
shedding blood is an entirely DIS
tinct process from shedding
tears-or sweating.

Dear DR.. Stelncrohn; What
fear most is the possibility of
getting cancer. It's the last
thing think of when / 60 to bed
and the first when get up in
the morning. Do you have any
suggestions for overcoming it?
Sincerely, Mrs. A. j."
Answer: Emotions like fear are
difficult to out-reason. If you
haven't done so already, I sug-
geSt a few long talks with your
doctor. Perhaps the following
quotation will help in the mean
while. 1t is from a book called
Living With Cancer" by Edna
IKaehele. and published by Dou-
bleday g. Co.
II have cancer. So what?
Someone else has a bad heart,
another diabetes or tuberculosis;
Others are dying from undiag-
lnosed ailments. All Of us are
dying Of something, for that is
the nature Of life from the mo-
ment Of birth. I may even have
an advantage, because know
what my difficulty is and have
had a chance to learn to cope
with it.
II have learned that it is the
fear OF cancer, not the cancer
itself. that is the greatest enemy.
y have not conquered the can
Ger perhaps, but 1 have definitely
and forever conquered the fear
of 1t. You can do the same thing.
And when you do, cancer will
lose a little of the death grip it
has on your life"
Rather morbid and depress-
ing? Perhaps. But you can't deny
that it is also optimistic and in
spring. I wouldn't be surprised,
Mrs. A. j.. that you are already
beginning to shed your baseless
fears.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Isn't the
sting Of a scorpion invariably
fatal?-N. v.
Answer: That is not true.
There have been many reports of
recoveries-even in cases where
the poisoning was severe. For

week and is always reading
about sports.

to his sports events without
even asking me what / was
going to do for the evening.
OF course, I wouldn't go with
him anyway, but it used to be
lonely. Now I wish he'd go out
more and leave me with my
pets"
THE COUNCILS VIEW
These two people have grown
SO far apart that they are no
longer even really living to-
gether. They are living with
their separate interests and
barely tolerate one another's ex-
iStence.
Karen feels she was driven to
find companionship with animals
because of her husbands over
interest in sports. But
did she ever ask herself whether
she didn't drive her husband to
a greater and greater absorption
in sports by withdrawing her
own companionship from him?
Interests can draw people to-
gether. They are also a means
Of separation from other people.
The situation can probably still
be saved if both Karen and
Oscar acknowledge that they
need one another. Instead of
showing anger and hostility to-
ward the animals, Oscar should
show his wife that he wants her
companionship and would be
even more grateful for it than
the dumb animals. Karen should
realize that interests must be de-
veloped. She ought to go to-
some of the sports events with
her husband. She'll find that any
person can enjoy sports if she
what is going on.

ficial newspaper of the FEC White Alice project in Alaska, that some weeks ago in Anchorage, an inves- tigative agency received report that professional quality code mes sages were causing electronic in- terference.

 A significant statement by Will liam o.

It. serves not only the needs of the military, but also fulfills civilian demands for com munications and is capable of ex pansion." Progress is being made in step by step process. Burke predicted that at the completion of the system in year or two from now, it would directly influence the development of the economic growth of the Territory.
 From Chatter we learn:In the past nine years electric power genera tion has increased from BOT billion kilowatt-hours to an estimated $50 billion in 1856. By 1866, it is pre- dicted that Is trillion kilowatt- hours will be needed, an increase of 3 per cent.

can do so by reading such a
well-reasoned address as Mr..
Dulles gave last Sunday. The
Secretary doesn't say the
change in tactics by the So
viets necessarily means peace.
He doesn't say the Soviet
power has crumbled. On the
contrary, he shows that the
Communists now are trying an
even more devious method be-
cause they have been blocked
in military aggression. He says:
THE future may produce a
different Russia. But today
changes in creed and conduct
are looked upon as ways to
make 1t easier to achieve old
goals of conquest. If there is
less apparent intolerance and
less reliance on violence, there
is perhaps more reliance than
ever on division, enticement
and duplicity."
Mr.. Dulles isn't deceived by
the Soviet tactics. He is strug-
Cling to combat them without
going to war, and the worst
service that can be done to the
cause Of the United States to-
day In the world Is to spread
the erroneous impression that
Americans want to surrender
to Red China and Soviet Rus
STA and give billions of dollars
to the "neutralist" nations of
Asia and pave the way for
further surrenders there. Mr..
Dulles adds:
Communist military power
has now been checked by the
cohesion, resolution, vigilance
and strength of the free ma
tons. They (the Commu-
nlStS) came up against the
granite Of a declared and
strong resolve. II that granite
should turn to putty. then
violence and threat of war
would again become the order
Of the day."
Mr.. Dulles lays it on the
line frankly, earnestly and
conscientiously. II some of the
critics would forget their par
tisan selflshness and try to see
things through truly Ameri-
can eyes. they would sympa-
thize with a pilot who, in the
most difiicult period of our
history. Is trying to steer a
course away from war and to
meet those hurricanes and
storms for which no Ameri-
cannot even the Secretary
Of State-can be held re-

The temporary shift in
Soviet policies from saber rat
Ting to economic warfare has
stunned our policy-makers who
are now urging Congress to
further increase aid allotments
all over the world.

lowed what our Western allies
now deride as dollar diplo-
macy" - literally dispensing
the taxpayers money to build
up a wall to halt Red totali-
tarianism
Stain repeatedly state d
that the USSR could achieve
its aim of world domination by
bankrupting the United States.
Our economic strength seemed
to belle his words. although his
maneuvers succeeded In fore
ing us to make expenditures
which win eventually be telling
in our economy. The local wars
which the Kremlin has started
since 1850 have cost us close
to $50 billion-$l8 billion in
the Korean war and upward of
81 billion in Indo- China.
While our immediate inter-
vention in Korea paid rich
dividends at first by enhance
ing American prestige through
out Asia. the subsequent ar
mistice on the 38th Parallel
and the French defeat in Indo-
China gave the Reds their
cheapest victory despite our
best efforts.
As leaders of the free world
we have spent upward of $40
billion in economic assistance.
Some of it was wise; some in

astronomical public debt of
$3.50 billion. And there is no
respite in sight.

Republicans who oppose the

Eisenhower be removed from

While they have been MUIR

Republican professionals in

That Nixon was the voice
of Republicanism in the 1854

entered late and reluctantly,
is well known. That one of
his claims to denomination is

But for some reason Choti-
