FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

MODESTY: One night, after
a concert, a group of admirers
went to the dressing room Of
the late Arturo Toscanini tc
congratulate him.
Maestro" exclaimed one, "you
are the greatest conductor in
the world"
mo, I am not the greatest"
protested Toscanini. 81 am the
only good one"
CREAM: Theatrical manager
Charles Frohman received thou
sands of manuscripts each year
from aspiring playwrights. Too
polite to offend the writer's,
Frohman would accept the
scripts with a promise to read
them.
Before long, an entire room
in his apartment would be filled
with manuscripts. One day he
showed the room to a friend.
The latter gasped.
Good heavens" he cried
How do you decide which of
these to read?"
IT'S quite simple replied
Frohman. THE good ones rise
TO the surface"

at least to stay down there from
December through April of every
year. Can you give us some
information about the weather
and heart disease?-N. B."
Answer: Most doctors have
come around to believing that
weather undoubtedly affects the
status and well-being of heart
patients. Statistical studies have
shown that the passage of cold
and warm fronts have deleteri-
GUS affects upon many cardiac
patients.
1t is the changes in weather
rather than the temperature
itself that influences heart pa
tientS. In other words. even
though a patient tries to pro-
tect himself in the relatively
constant. comfortable tempera-
ture of his home, he is subject
to the sudden meteorological
changes. These impose such
stresses on the circulation that
the heart patient must make
certain physiological adjust
mentS. These cause such symp-
toms as pain or difficulty in
breathing.
What is the mechanism of
disruption in the body itself?
Well, the cold front or polar air
mass causes certain weather
changes: decreased humidity,
drop IN temperature and in
creased barometric pressure.
IN turn. have their effect upon
the organism
For example, construction of
the smaller blood vessels which
lessons the good function OF the
minute blood capillaries. There is
also an increase in blood pres
sure and dehydration of the It's
sues OF various organs. AS the
body is like a delicate chemistry
plant. soon there is a deficiency
IN blood carbon dioxide and a
shift from blood acidity toward
the alkaline side.
Then comes a compensatory
reaction OF the body in trying to
meet the increased need for
oxygen. The blood pressure now
drops, the tissues now contain
more water than normally and
the acid-alkaline balance of the
blood shifts again. During these
sudden changes in weather
people whether they are sick or
welD are more prone to respira-
tory infections. Several nose
and throat specialists have
found definite relationship be-
tween such infections and the
occurance Of cold fronts.
In a similar way, but often
with more serious consequences,
the circulation bears the brunt
OF these weather changes. And
you can see how the coronary
arteries can react Sensitively toI
these so-called "vasomotor adj
justments" that must take place
with frequent weather changes.
Nevertheless, after an i'm
partial survey Of my coronary
patients over the years l have
the conviction (but not substan-
tiated by cold statistics that
those did best who took advan-
tage of warmth and comfort.

THE FAMILY COUNCIL
Girl Seeks to Dissuode
Parents From Divorce
THE PROBLEM
THE DETAILS

MR. D. D-Our daughter wants to sacrifice ourselves.
ELLEN Dts time they made real sacrifice
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-25

Mr.. ID. D.-My wife and I have
been married for 20 years and
have three children. We have
never been happy together and
have both had extramarital al
fairs. There has been a great
deal of bitterness between us. yet
we always managed to keep ii
secret from the children and
gave them a very happy home
life.
Now, however. we've really
come to the parting of the ways
I am very much in love with a
young woman I have been going
with for years. We are in great
hurry to marry and my wife has
at last consented to a divorce
because, suspect, she has now
found somebody she wants to
marry.
The big surprise in the whole
thing is my daughters attitude.
Ellen is 10. old enough to have
more sense, but she has turned
on us and claims that we are
running her whole life and We
should sacrifice ourselves to her
until she marries.
Ellen D.-My parents seem to
think We are idiots or some
thing My sister and I have
known for years that our father
was having affairs, and we be-
lieve it wasn't true until re-
Gently about our mother. They
think they gave us a happy
home life because there were no
fights We knew about. Just the
same. We knew our parents
hated each other and we GER
tainly weren't happy about it.
We think our youngest brother
is now on to it, too. and he GER
tainly isn't happy.
l am now going with a Won
derful young man from a very
fine, happy family. He has told
me many times that his parents
put tremendous emphasis on
family life and believe that
broken homes are the worst
possible kind of background for
anyone. We are in love. but it
may be couple of years before
we can marry. His parents like
me now. but l don't know what
they'd think if they knew about
my home. It's time my parents
made a real sacrifice for US.

THE COUNCILS VIEW

Ellen has really pulled her
parents up short on how badly
they have muffed their attempts
to supply HAPPY home life"
for their children. If they had
put as much effort and energy
into creating a genuinely happy
marriage as they did into con-
cealing their bitterness" and
extramarital affairs, it is just
possible they could have created
the reality of a happy home in
stead of very poor facsimile
1t is too late now to undo past
damage. But for the future a
new kind of home life can be
created through tremendous will
and effort on the part of both
Mr.. and Mrs. D. D. Perhaps
Ellen'S clear vision of their con-
duct can be the spark that will
give them an incentive to take a
completely different view of their
marriage and the possibilities of
happiness together.
Ellen calls for a sacrifice. but
she may be pointing the road
to genuine happiness for her
parents-if they can rise to a
better understanding of them
selves and each other. They may
find they want help from a
clergyman or counseling from
a family service agency.
II Ellen is not successful in
bringing her parents together,
she should not be too sure that
her young mans family will re-
iect her because of an open rift
between her parents. They have
had the chance to know her and
like her for herself. They are
probably aware of what she has
learned through sad experience
that not every home that looks
happy on the surface is so in
actually.
