FAMOUS FABLES

COLOR: Oscar Wilde was a
man of strong likes and dislikes,
especially about color. At one
time. when he was ill, his doctor
prescribed medicine and pills.
When the nurse brought them,
Wilde saw that the medicine was
brown and the pills gray.
Take them away" he
groaned. THAT fool doctor
should have known that COM
Ibination of brown and gray
would turn my stomach"
Sick as he was, he refused to
touch the stuff until the medicine
had been changed to a bright
red liquid and the pills gilded.
HONOR: When French author
Anatole France received the
coveted Cross of the Legion of
Honor, he was still a poor man.
ITS a pity" remarked a

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Should Patient Be Told Truth?
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: May /
urge that you write a column on
the need for telling people who
are very i'll what their situation
really is.
Chances are that a patient
who is very sick is quite aware OF
his condition. If he has a fight
ing chance. as well as something
to live for. he can be helped to
help himself.
AS nurse, I have talked this
over with many patients who
have been through deep waters
Nearly all admit they were aware
of their condition, and wanted
more than anything in the world
to have somebody who would
share the loneliness of their ex-
perience with them.
One cannot under the circum-
stances expect relatives to talk
to the patient without emotion
And the patient breads emotion
because he feels emotional him.
self; so the least that doctors
and nurses can do is to give that
help.
Surgeon Disagrees
/ recently discussed this matter
with an old friend, a well-knowr
Eastern surgeon. He was almost
violent in his opposition to ever
telling a patient the truth about
his situation: even if he hac
hopeless cancer and knew what
the score was. His theory,
think. was it would lessen a pa
TENTS faint chance of further
life, regardless of how painful
survival might be. if his doctor
admitted his condition was
serious.
What do you think about this
problem? Sincerely. Mrs. K. K
Answer: Whenever patients
came in for heart examinations
I always prefaced the consulta-
ton with statement like this:
I'D like you to remember that
when have finished the exami-
nation you shall have the truth
Therefore if tell you that your
heart is all right, don't think
/ am holding back" the bad
news because l don't want to
frighten you. However, if your
heart is not normal. I'll tell you
soon enough-otherwise you
won't be able to cooperate fully
and be we'll"
I have considered this good
medical procedure in handling
other conditions like high blood
pressure. diabetes. kidney trouble
and dozens of other illnesses
Patients need" to know-but
the doctor should take special
effort in the manner of his tell
ing them. There is no need to
carelessly frighten patients SC
they live in constant anxiety.
Must Make Exceptions
However, there are conditions
when we cannot answer cate.

The first legal document
drawn up in the New World is
going to have to wait another
year before it gets the Nation
wide attention originally sched-
uled for it this fall.
That's the Mayhower Compact,
drafted by William Bradford and
signed by Al Pilgrims. including
Myles Standish and John Alden,
lin Provincetown harbor in
November, 1920. Its signing is
slated for re-enactment upon the
arrival of the Mayflower II from
England.

ports that the ship won't sail this

Iticularly want to compete with
the 1856 Presidential campaigns
for publicity. Another is because
the Mayf1ower II-an exact
duplicate of the pilgrim vessel
which sailed 1856 years ago-is
not finished.
When the Mayflower II does
arrive, however, the United
States public may finally become
familiar with the ancient Com
pact. Few people are at present
although historians rank it with
England's Magma Carta of 1915
and the American Constitution
of 1887 in significance.
The entire document consists
of only 2O1 words. about half OF
which are devoted to the legal
embellishments of the day. Here
is what the important part says:
I'VE whose names are under

This Week Movie Editor
A movie about man, a woman and
a child may be the years surprise

he Babes in the Woods have done it again.
Two years ago, a couple Of amateur movie
producers - Husband and Wife Morris Engel
and Ruth Orkin = together with Ray Ashley,
another unknown, wrote, filmed, directed and
produced Little Fugitive" which won inter-
national honors at the Venice Film Festival.
Now the Engels have made second picture,
called Lovers And Lollipops." and again they
are likely to show up Hollywood. Anyway, they
have uncovered three new stars.
Lovers And Lollipops" is a simple story about
a love affair between an ordinary young man and
a troubled young widow who has young child.
The Engels manage to give it an idylc appeal.
Hero and heroine are Gerald O'Loughlin and
Lori March - two grown-upS who have had
some TV experience. Now they are going places:
O'Loughlin played opposite Tallulah Bankhead
in the recent revival of "A Streetcar Named
Desire" and Miss March replaced Marian Seldes
in Broadway'S The Chalk Garden"
The pictures child star is Cathy Dunn, nine.
She has no movie aspirations. She wants to be
a nun. Last year, her ambition was to become
nurse, but the smell of medicine discouraged her.
With unknown actors, hand camera and
simple theme, the Engels have gone and done
it again with shoestring.
