THE COUNCILS VIEW
These parents are probably
unduly alarmed and the rem

to work. Perhaps Sandra should
have listened to the young mans
explanation, but even II she had
listened, she would probably not

On the other hand. Mr.. c. K.

Many girls decide on exactly the
course Of action she has chosen
following the breakup Of an
engagement. It is usually a
pretty healthy sign. The girl
tries to mend her hurt by telling
herself she is not interested In
marriage anyway. She throws
herself into activity. she meets

Technical progress, as every

changes in the law. Usually this
results in a more secure and
more pleasant world. At the same
time. it often makes things more
complicated and more expensive,
A good illustration centers
around the state Of the law as II
pertains to the use of automatic
turn signals on ordinary passen-
ger cars.
These blinking electric lights
are now permitted in lieu OF
hand signals in all States except
Montana. But, more important
they are also required on all new

IA States. These are: Delaware,

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
New Hampshire, New Jersey
New York. North Carolina, North
Dakota and Ohio.

signal is a relatively new devise
in the traffic world. 1t has beer
legally accepted and within
few years it will doubtless be re-

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Skipping Heart Not a Faint Heart
By DR.. PETER J STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am q
very nervous person. I worry a
lot about things that never real
ly happen. Lately since my
nerves have been so bad my heart
has been skipping all over the
place. Every time it skips beat
I think I'm going to die. It al
most scares me to death.
I've been to at least a half
dozen Of the best doctors around
here. They all tell me that !
have a sensitive and nervous
heart. Is there any cure for it?
Whenever / get worried and
frightened about anything my
heart starts skipping so much
I get sick with fear.
Do you think good doctors
would lie to me and not give me
treatment If they really thought
I have heart trouble, DR.. Stein
crohn? Sometimes think they
won't tell the truth because they
are afraid they will actually scare
me to death.
I know you are busy with all
the mail you get from your read
ers. But please take time, If at all
possible. to answer my letter in
your column. I know 1t will help
me. Besides. I think there must
be many others like me. Bless
you and thanks. Sincerely. Mrs
K. H."
Answer: When six good doc
tors tell you . that your heart is
al right it's about time you be-
lieved them. Mrs. K. H. And why
six? Two would have been suf-
ficient. Perhaps you will recall
what ! have said many times
about people unnecessarily rid
ing the medical merry /"
You will agree you have seen
enough doctors. It's time you
got off.
Choose one Of the six physi-
clans that you have seen and
from here in rely on what he
tells you. ! would go to one with
large ears: the one who listens
best. The one who takes the time
to explain away your fears.
From what you tell me.
would say that the doctors have
been telling you that you have
what we call premature con-
fractions. All that this formid-
able name means is that your
heart is sensitive and skipping !"
Such skips are often found in
the healthiest Of hearts. I re-
member a star basketball play
er at Yale who used to get them
quite often. He was, and is to-
day. a healthy specimen.
| What to do? First, and most
important. believe that your
heart is normal. Take the sed-
atives and other medicine which
your doctors are undoubtedly
prescribing. Don't oversmoke,
overdrink or overeat. And above
all: worry less! You will note I
didn't say stop worrying" All
human beings worry.
One day you will learn to get
over the feeling that you are
going to die whenever your heart
decides to miss a beat. Have
courage. Mrs. K. H.

LAW IN THE NEWS
Troffic Laws Adjusting
To Auto Turn Signals

down their car windows to give q
hand signal.
It is also an added cost to the
car buyer, who will not much
longer have the option Of buying
his car with or without turn
signals. He will just have to shell
out the extra money for them,
which runs anywhere from $25
to $50 depending on the make
Iof car and the elaborateness Of
the system.
But the automatic turn signal
also has certain drawbacks, and
1t is evident that the law must
soon be rewritten to take some
Of these into account.
Have Drawbacks
For example, there are certain
times Of day. particularly when
bright sun is rejecting on the
turn indicator or in the eyes
of other drivers, when electric
signals are much harder to see
than hand signals. Sometimes
the automatic signal fails in its
operation. Often it signals q turn
when no turn is contemplated
by the driver. Some indicators
are poorly designed or are con-
fused with parking or headlights.
Four States Connecticut,
Kansas, Vermont and Washing
ton-have already passed laws
establishing design and operat-
ing standards for turn signals,
designating or limiting condi-
tons of use. etc. Chances are
that legal controls Of this type
win be very much on the up
grade within q few more years.
