FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. Z. EDGAR

INTERPRETATION: When
George Bernard Shaw received
the Nobel Prize check strangers
wrote to him, asking for 1inan-
cial assistance. Surely, they ar
gued. he could spare them a few
dollars now that he had come
into such a fortune.
The volume of mail reached
such proportions that 1t inter-
ferred with his work. To dis
courage the writer's, Shaw let 1t
leak out to the press that he had
returned the check.
The announcement only ag-
gravated the situation. The
number Of letters doubled, and
the writers were more demand
ing. Surely. they argued. If he
could afford to return such a
fortune. it would be no sacrifice
for him to help them.
DISTRUST: Italian composer
Verdi distrusted doctors. He
called them to his bedside with
the greatest reluctance. once,
when away from home. he was
taken i'll and was forced to sum-
mon a local physician.
Il called you" said Verdi, as
the doctor opened his bag. but
I want you to know I don't be-
lieve in doctors"
Neither does a iackass be-
lieve in a veterinarian" said the
doctor. but he's cured anyway. +"

DR.. Paul Adams of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, a specialist
in childhood heart disease, esti-
mates that half the children with
inborn hearts defects would not
live out their first year without
surgery.
In rheumatic heart disease,
damage is done to one or more
of the heart valves. Surgeons
are not yet able to repair all
types of valve damage. For

corrects the commonest conse-
quence of rheumatic heart dis
ease-narrowing or Stenosis of
the mitral valve, a valve within
the left side of the heart.
New Operations
Until recently. virtually all
heart surgeons and heart-dis-
ease specialists were convinced
that none of the several opera
tions that have been proposed
for the relief of coronary disease
was of any value whatever. In
San Francisco two months ago.
though, the American College of
Surgeons heard strongly favor
able reports on two coronary-
disease operations.
The two. devised respectively
by DR.. Claude S. Beck of West
ern Reserve University and DR..
Arthur Vineberg of McGill are
designed to increase the heart
muscle blood supply in patients
who have had a coronary. In
addition. a new operation. worked
out by DR.. Charles P. Bailey and
DR.. Angelo May. boldly removes
obstructing material from heart
arteries.
Such operations are only a
beginning. but the first two at
least have been found, in the
right patients, to prolong life.

Today, surgeons lay the heart
wide open and coolly repair de-
fects inside while heart-lung
machine keeps the patient alive.
Sometimes, to ease their delicate
task. surgeons even stop the
heart with drugs while they work,
then start it again when the
heart repair is finished.
Several hundred patients have
already had desperately sick
hearts made whole again by such
operations. Many thousands
more have been helped by sim
pier, but not less fantastic pro-
cedures, ranging from freezing
the patient down so that the
flow of blood through the heart
could be stopped for a few min
utes, to operating by-feel, with a
finger-armed knife inserted d
through a hole in the heart.
Fascinating Questions
The heart-surgery story raises
a whole host of fascinating
questions. How was this modern
miracle accomplished? What is
an operation. on the heart like?
Whom can it help? What does
1t promise for the future?
This and four following
articles will attempt to answer
these questions. Since they are
most important, we will take up
the last two questions first.
Like any other part of the
human body, the heart is subject
to a variety of ills. 1t may be
imperfectly formed at birth. 1t
may be injured, directly or in
directly, by germs, as in rheu-
matte heart disease, a disease
triggered by the germ RESPONSE
BILE for "strep" throat. Or it may
be damaged by disease of the
coronary arteries, the vessels
that supply the heart muscle
itself with blood: coronary dis
ease is the common cause of
heart attack and the greatest
killer of our age.
Heart surgery can cure the
great majority of Unborn heart
defects, and can help most people
crippled by rheumatic heart
disease. Further, heart surgery
is already able to help some
coronary disease victims, and
should soon be able to help more.

unhappy. We fought most of
the time. Finally, we split up
and I got married. 1 told my
husband and he forgave me.
We have been married two
years and are not very happy.
I have not been able to forget
Gary. Recently met him and
he said he now realizes he had
made a mistake and wants to
marry me. My hubsand once
agreed to give me a divorce if l
could not be happy with him,
but he is now backing out of
the bargain.
John D.-I have met this Gary
my wife is SO crazy about and
he strikes me as just a good
for-nothing-the type of men
who can't stand to see any wom-
an get away from him.
If he marries Lucy. I'm sure
they'll be Just as unhappy as
they were before. He still can't
afford a wife and family and I
doubt whether he'll ever be eco
nomically on his feet.
Iwould be willing to go through
with the bargain and give my
wife a divorce if l thought she
was doing the right thing with
her life. Lucy told me when we
got married that she wasn't sure
she loved me. l told her I would
try to make her happy. 1 realize
l haven't succeeded, but I want
to try again because I feel so
sure she would be making a mis-
take to marry Gary.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Johns unselfishness appears to
exceed all reasonable bounds.
Both he and Lucy are all wrought
up over Lucy's happiness" Lucy
complains that she and John
have not been happy-buty then,
neither was she happy with Gary.
John humbly regrets that he has
not made Lucy happy" He ex-
ploreS the possibility of her being
happy" with Gary and finds
little hope there.
But what about Johns hap
piness? He made no demand on
Lucy to make him happy when
they married and makes no de-
mand on his own behalf now.
Neither one of these two parties
believes that Lucy owes any re-
sponsibility to John.
John made a mistake to marry
on the false basis that he would
grant his wife a divorce if he
could not make her happy and
he is now stating the wrong rea-
son for refusing the divorce. He
has a right, if he loves his wife,
to demand that she make a
whole-hearted attempt to make
a success of their marriage.
Lucy may not be ready to ac-
cede to this demand, but she
should know that If she doesn't,
she is following a course that
will bring her little Happiness. "
She's was wrong and foolish to
enter into the affair with Gary
and she was still more foolish to
marry a man she believed she
didn't love. Her self-seeking, her
riding roughshod over law, NOR
ality, the feelings of others will
bring her to disaster. She must
learn to stand by her decisions
and contribute something to
make them a success.

sheet which attempt to link him
romanticaly with Ava Gardner, he
was pressured by many show pro-
ducers to marry, if for no other
reason than for appearance sake.
II wouldn't prostitute myself to
doing such a thing, nor would l
do this to any girl" he writes.
One thing he is definite about,
in the EBONY article is that
should he ever marry white girl.
he will be SO well fixed financially
that he can say, eff the Negro peo-
pie don't like it, then I'll got out
of show business"
Sammy writes that the nearest
he ever came to getting married
was with Eartha Kit back in 1858,
when they were going together in
San Francisco. The affair ended
because of personality clashes. He
found himself constantly trying to
catch up with Eartha profession
ally and otter trying to think Of
her as a human being. However,
he believes he is a better person
for having known the sultry ac-
tress.
Sammy doubts that Eartha will
marry within the next five years,
and even should she marry, he
doubts if she will ever fall COM
pletely in love with the man. Sam
ends his article on a Wishful note.
He writes, "I don't have a wife,
but I'd love to have one."

schools. And they believe this can
be done with little expense, less
graft, and no legal contradiction.
But Lokey contends:
Neither this nor any other at
tempt at circumvention will stand
up in the courts, either the Georgia
Supreme Court Or the u. S. Su-
preme Court.
"We can't have it the way we
want it = we are hopeless minor
ity in the country. So, before the
schools are torn apart, we have to
ask ourselves what are the alterna-
tives and what are we going to do
about it,"
Hamilton Lokey is not complete
ly sure what he would do about it.
He thinks coed schools might be
abandoned and integration tried on
a single sex basis = this might put
an end, he says, to the emotional
problem, the old one about sex
crime and intermarriage."
But, he is sure he knows what
will be the alternatives if the "pri-
vate school, plan is effectuated.
The system, he maintains, would
be:
1. A potential breeding ground
for trend toward general "con-
tempt for the law"
2. A temptation for political
graft.
ANY measure designed to cir
cumvent the Supreme Court would
have to make a complete break
with traditional projections. It
would have to rely, not on legal
checks and balances, but on the
good faith and honesty of one
man."
3. The possible ruin" of the Uni
versity of Georgia.
Much of that came to us under

all go back if this plan is pushed"

cause, that he is a lone voice cry
ing in the wilderness" Hamilton
Lokey insists he is ready to throw
the negative switch anyway.
