School Supt. w. T. Woodson,

Only One Dissent
Mrs. Anne wilkins offered the
motion to release the school
board from last years promise.
The only dissenting vote was
cast by Supervisor Stuart DeBell,
who said he feared the super

grant the school board their full
budget request Of $14.9 million.
He also said he did not think
the school board had shown
suficient reasons why an in

Brig. Gen. Richard Ovenshine
said as far as he was concerned
the action did not constitute a
commitment and he felt the
supervisors were free to cut the
school budget ''in any amount
whatsoever" at the time the
county adopts its 1878 budget.
Mr.. Woodson said he agreed
that the supervisors were not

1t took many years to create
all the bitterness Pauline feels

age cannot be undone in a day.
If Pauline has given a truth
full picture of her early life, her
parents made a serious error, but
she should realize 1t was simply
an error.
They wanted her to under
stand that she had unusual
advantages and they wanted her
to be aware Of what they knew
so well-that such advantages
are not easily come by. They
told her this. not because they
begrudged her the advantages,
but because they wanted her to
understand that life can. be
pretty tough.
Pauline should also realize
that she may be exaggerating
and distorting her parents at
titudes because Of an obscure
psychological resentment against
them. This deeply rooted re-
sentiment against parents is not
uncommon. Many individuals
seize on trifling factors to give
some basis in reality for the
feeling. If Pauline tries to look

TO put bewildered patients ION
the right track" This is es-
pecially true when the confusion
Is caused by the word "choles-
terol." was at a Chicago meet

Physicians about four years ago

diets as a cause Of coronary dis
ease was then coming into special
prominence. Naturally. we were
all anxious to come away with
some definitive report on what
to do for patients-and what not
to do.
Unfortunately. there was nc
such answer to be had. Sitting
at a head table in the large
hotel ballroom was a panel OF
a half-dozen of the most highly
respected heart specialists of the
United States and Canada. The
