Emotions Affect Blood Pressure
Most doctors agree that emo
tional factors influence blood
pressure. You send a patient
into the hospital and his blood
pressure may drop 40 or so
points because you have re-
moved environmental pressures:
he has been taken away from
an invalid father; or he has
temporarily been spared the
worries and rigors of business.
All this may happen even he

of medication. You see, there

not safely forego our former
methods of management. Low
sodium diets are still essential.
So are mild sedatives and a way
of life that is easy and free from
tension. Patients must not over

rest periods and vacations.
Loss of weight is imperative
in the overweight. There is a
proper drug therapy for each
patient. Unfortunately, in some
cases like Mrs. A. BIS, we can
only ascertain which it is by
trial and error. Usually, there's

THE DETAILS
L. T.-My wife's sister is mar
ried to a man who was-a school
mate of mine and who has been
unable to practice his profession
because he lost his power of
speech about five years ago as
the result of unsuccessful
surgery. Because of this dis
ability his wife has obtained a
job as a file clerk.
What money they had is now
about exhausted and they will
not be able to live on the money
she earns. Because of the pitiful
circumstances I have been able,
with the help of some relatives
and friends, to obtain an APP
pointment for the husband to a
City Hall job that will pay him
a fair salary. I thought he
would be overjoyed at the pros
pect of financial security, but he
angrily rejects this offer.
He says he will accept a job
in his own field, but will not &C
cept a sinecure. This strikes me
as a false position for him to
take for two reasons: first, he has
no right to be so proud at the
expense of his wife and, second,
he could do some useful work
for his pay if he were determined
to do so.
p. r. TIT was our first mis-
fortune that We could not have
children. but 1 thought I was
compromising myself somewhat
by taking full advantage of the
fact that I did not need to earn
much money in my profession
to support only the two of us.
AS a result I was very choosy in
accepting clients as a lawyer,
taking only cases that interested
me.
Since I lost my speech, / have
been utterly without any prac-
tice because I never built up a
busy Office and took only court
matters requiring the use of my
voice.
I appreciate the good inten-
lions Of my relatives and friends,
but I cannot understand why, if
they can get me into a political
sinecure, they cannot get me a
job in which I could be useful
in my own field. I feel that /
would be degrading my wife as
well as myself If I were to ac-
cept this appointment.
The Councils Views
There is some validity to this
mans objection, but it is diff
cult to understand why he is so
unable to help himself. There are
many people with far greater inn
pediments who manage to earn
a self-respecting livelihood.
We would heartily applaud this
mans rejection of a political
sinecure if it were accompanied
by an earnest effort at self-help.
He has no right to put the bur-
den of earning a living of his
wife. who is apparently lacking
in training to earn an adequate
salary. He should master his
false pride and oversensitivity
and look for work in his own.
profession. There is surely plenty
Of paper work in law Offices for
him to do.

from his Gettysburg farm-part

Mr.. Eisenhower was accom-
panied on the return trip by his
week end guests, Gen. Alfred

Some 6 inches of snow covered
the Eisenhower farm when the
President left. Several cars were
stranded in snowdrifts alongside
the road which the Presidents
car took on the trip to Wash

During the first part of the
drive, when roads were slippery
