all cases Of serious crime where
the defendant has been con-
victed or pleads guilty. Normally
this study is carried out by the
probation Office Of the jurisdic-
ton involved. Investigators take
"a thorough look into the back
ground and circumstances of
the convicted person and his
family They check his educa-
ton. medical history, psychology
ical tendencies, potential for
constructive work, etc. A report
is then written and submitted
to the Judge for further study.
While Federal jurists may
waive this requirement, they
rarely do. And probation officers
report that most pre-sentencing
studies require at least three
weeks to complete.
At the State and city level
there is a good deal Of variation
in sentencing procedures. but a
prodecure generally akin to that
of the Federal courts is prac-
ticed in virtually every urban
area.
OF course. there are cases
where sentence is passed sum-
marily upon conviction. But the
trend. in civilian law at least. is
toward careful elaboration OF
the sentence in terms Of its over
all effect before deciding what
it should be.

FAMOUS FABLES

TITLE: Eccentric artist John
Decker was known for his carl
catures of movie personalities.
He was once commissioned to
paint the portrait of a big
name director. Decker depicted
the man as the occupant of a
prison cell. Infatuated, the di-
rector not only refused to pay
for the finished portrait, but
brought suit against the artist.
Decker waited until the at
tendant publicity was at its
height. Then he had the paint
ing exhibited in the window of
a Hollywood art shop with the
provocative title, In prison for
debt"
WEIGHT: William S. Gilbert,
of Gilbert and Sullivan fame.
was interviewing a singer for a
part in an operetta. The singer,
once a romantic star. had put
on weight over the years, but
still considered himself a matinee
idol.
Il might give you a supporting
role" said Gilbert, "but 1 don't
think you have the figure to
play the romantic lead. You're
too heavy"
"Nonsense!" exclaimed tn e
other: MY weight is the same
as that of Apollo!"

relied with my sister but have
always loved her. I am grateful
to Jane for having found my
sweetheart for me. Jane is a very
attractive girl and he fell hard
for her, but she was never really
in love with him. She was flat
tered to be pursued by an older
man of his standing and charm,
but did not want him except as a
convenient escort. They quar-
relied almost every time they
went out.
I met him through Jane and
have loved him from the start.

sured Of his abiding love. I think
it would disturb all of us if Jane
were obviously withdrawing from
our midst.
JANE-My mothers anxiety
makes no sense to me. She can't
get it into her head that went
after him because thought he
would be fun to go out with, and
that I never had any serious
thoughts about him. His ardor
ceased as soon as he met my
sister, and I have never really
resented her attraction for him.
except that I was petulant over
the loss Of a generous and hand
some escort.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The wholesome attitudes of
the two girls, which include love
for each other and realistic self
appraisal, should minimize their
mothers fears. The very fact
that Francine discussed this
question with Jane shows they
have a good relationship.
A girl who can be as honest
about herself and her motiva-
lions as Jane is, probably is
headed soon for a good marriage.
1t is when people deceive them
selves that they present the
greatest danger in such delicate
situations.

surgeon whom she convinced
that an operation would help her
Symptoms Continue
A few days after the opera
ton she had a near-catastrophe

covered from this but continued
to have the indigestion" symp-
toms she had before the opera

Taking out that woman's ap-
pendix was easy. Not finding it
necessary to do so called for
greater judgment and integrity
Similarly, it's easy for your
doctor to write out a prescription
It's far more difficult to say that
you don't need a prescription
even though most people have
grown to expect one in exchange
for their doctors bill.
The doctors job is easy if he
limits himself to examining you
and prescribing medicine. It's
hard when he takes the time to
explain you to yourself.
Such talks do you more good
than taking a pill or elixir. Only
in that way can the doctor learn
that your headaches are due to
a nagging wife or an alcoholic
husband. Or that your ulcer OF
high blood pressure is being
brought on-or at least aggra-
vated-by a boss who is impos-
sible.

THE DETAILS


Mrs. P. r. S.-My youngest
daughter, Jane, had a hectic
romance with a young man who
subsequently became interested
in my older daughter, Francine,
whom he is now engaged to
marry.
I fear greatly there may be
trouble in the future because
there were some rather trying
rows between Jane and Francine
over this young man. I have sug-
|geSted to Francine that she have
Ia quiet wedding and arrange to
live in another town so Jane and
she will not be in the same circle
until the marriage is well es-
tablished.
Francine makes light of my
fears, and even talked to Jane
about them. Jane, too, pretended
to make light of them. But l am
worried about trouble in the fu-
Iture.

In a long lifetime of practice

It is as essential to the medical
man as to his colleague the sur
geon. If you are treated "by
the books" you lose something
in treatment. Your doctor needs
to treat you as an individual
not as one in a long line of
statistics.
For example, you have read
much lately of the treatment of
