Along about this time of year
the Christmas merchants begin
to move into high gear.
To many adults who remem-
Der the relative simplicity of
Christmas in their childhood,
the m cd ern commercialized
Christmas has a number of
annoying facets. Probably
none, however. is more annoy
ing than the unsolicited sample
or item sent through the mail
on a speculative sale basis.
These are the multi-purpose
screw drivers, perfume walters.
stamp sets for beginning coll
Ilectors, etc.. which show UP in
your mail box one day with
instructions to look the item
over carefully-then if you like
IT send in your 1898; if not,
kindly return the item.
Most com m ercial houses
which employ this technique
provide some method of return
ing the article without expense
to the person receiving it. But
some don't. And if the article
is not returned as requested.
some outfits will even send fol-
low-up letters threatening a
lawsuit.
Do You Have to Return It?
Suppose this happens to you.
Suppose you receive some totally
unsolicited article in the mail
which you don't want. What
are your obligations Are you
bound to return it or notify the
sender of your decision. or
what?
The answer is that you don't
have to do anything. Nobody
can force you into a sale in
which you have expressed no
interest or taken any active
part. You don't have to return
the article received, answer
correspondence about it. or do
anything else.
You have only one obligation
in such cases. normally. That is
an obligation not to assume
dominion" over the article.
In other words, you are not
at liberty to use the article, sell
it, give it away. throw it in the
trash can or otherwise assert
some aspect of ownership in
regard to it. If you do this. the
law may consider your act as
evidence of an acceptance to a
sale offer of one kind or an
other and thus to have
obligated you to pay for it or

is interested, first of all, in the
motive for wanting a child. The
only acceptable one is the de-
sire to have a child and to
create a happy home for him.
Even if they said the right
words on this subject, Rosalind
and Charles could never con-
vince a social worker that this
was their motive.
An accredited adoption
agency looks for couples who
are happily married. A large
sized income is not important,
but it is important that the
couple should not feel poor or
underprivileged.
An accredited adoption
agency looks for maturity of
outlook and the courage and
flexibility to handle problems.
1t looks for couples who get
along well with the world at
large.
Rosalind and Charles would
do well to measure themselves
and their marriage by these
agency standards. If they do.
they may begin to see the
enormous selfishness involved
in their even considering to try
to adopt a child for the pur-
pose of saving their marriage.
We have a rather large
sized suspicion that Rosalind is
very much more at fault in this
relationship than Charles. His
depression and sarcasm are
likely reactions to a wife who
shows so much dissatisfaction
with him.
Despite RoSalind's doubts
about her ability and that Of
her husband to change at this
time of their lives she should
recognize that they must
change in order to save them
selves from total despair and
tragedy. The self-centeredness
and immaturity that now UNI
dermines their marriage would
prevent their finding any more
happiness apart than they have
found together.

Genevieve R.-My sister has
been married five years to a
man who has not proven to be
a very good husband. He makes
q living but is not an espe-
cially good provider, and my
sister has been working since
the day of her marriage.
Besides. Charles is not a
sociable person, and he is often
decreased and sarcastic with
my sister and our family. Re-
Gently he learned he is unable
to father children, and this has
made him even worse than
ever.
1 can't see much happiness
ahead for my sister unless she
has children, so I think she
should see about adopting a
child. 1t might even help to
bring about a change in
Charles.
ROsalind Fit is hard to
think in terms of adopting a
child when 1 am really wonder
ing whether l can keep my
marriage together at all.
I am SO and Charles is SO
and I don't suppose either of
us will change very much any
more. How much difference
can a child make? My family
and friends say it makes all
the difference in the world,
but I can't help having some
doubts about this. Even though
We could afford a child on
Charles income. we would not
be able to provide for the child
or ourselves as we would like
to-and I hate being poor.
My family and friends are
putting a lot of pressure on us
to adopt a child. but I think
maybe we ought to separate
instead.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
RoSalind's family and friends
should leave off the pressure
at once because, as things now
stand, there isn't the slightest
chance of this couples getting
a child from an accredited
agency. If they choose to try
to get a child illegally. they run
the risk of getting into serious
trouble. Even if they could
manage to evade this legal
trouble. they run an even more
terrible risk of creating more
unhappiness for themselves and
an innocent child.

Head Noises


Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: I and
many elderly friends suffer
from terrible head noises. 1
have been to several doctors
without relief. All they tell
me is that this symptom
comes with old age. If just
once you would mention it
in your column think you
would do a great good. We
old folks ought to know what
il comes from, even II you
can't help remove the noises.
l know IL would take a lot
Of worry from our minds.
Anything you say will be
greatly appreciated. Sincere
ly "Gramp" 1927.
Dear Gramp: I have written
a number Of columns on head
noises. 1 guess you missed them.
But I can review them for you
in a few words. Head noises
come in the 30s and 40s, also.
But they are more. common in
people over so.
In some cases the cause is
ear trouble. Most of the time,
however. it is due to interior
ence with the circulation. The
blood does not flow through the
brain arteries as effortlessly as
it used to because the arteries
are not as elastic as they once
were. However. the head noises
troublesome as they are to
bear) are not a portent of
stroke or anything like that.
Patients have told me that's
what they worry about most.
I have told patients with
head noises whose heart, blood
pressure and kidneys were do
ing a good job-not to worry.
I have sent them to an ear
specialist to rule out possible
cause there. I have also pre-
scribed iodides which some
times help, and have found that
some patients benefit from TAX
ing small doses of niacin, plus
a daily dose of vitamin B COM

Dear DIR. Steincrohn: Be-
cause my husband Is a doc
tor I can't come to him with
this question: what are his
chances for living long after
a cOrOnary attack? He had a
thrombosis four months ago.
Neither can / ask his col
leagues. Will you give me a
straight-frOm the shoulder
answer? Thank you. Mrs. X.
/ would not be fair even in
intimating that coronary dis
ease is not serious. On the
other hand, the profession has
long ago gotten over the belief
that a coronary patient has
"only a few years to co."
Here are some findings re-
ported in the British Medical
Journal by DR.. j. N. Morris and
associates: OF 252 male prac-
titioners who had coronary
thrombosis, 49 per cent sur
vived five years. and 35 per cent
survived ten years after the
Initial attack. When they CAL
culated their results from those
surviving the first seven days
after their attack, they found
that 70 per cent survived five
years and SO per cent survived
ten years. About rs per cent Of
the survivors of the first month
lived five years.
If you are a betting woman,
Mrs. x, you can readily see
that the odds are in favor of
your husband living on quite
a few years. I might mention
many patients of my own land
Of colleagues personally known
to myself who lived 1920
years after an attack of coro-
nary thrombosis.
Physical Exoms
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: 1
used to have a yearly phys
ical between the ages Of 35-
so. Now that I've had my
50th birthday, is once yearly
enough? Mr.. E. Il.
We doctors are learning more
about geriatric medicine as the
months go by. The way to take
advantage of the new knowl-
edge is to see your doctor often
enough. Between 5000, even
though without symptoms, you
will be taking out extra life
insurance by having a complete
physical twice a year. After 60.

States Supreme Court.
George W. Eddy called the
critics "a group of hysterical
lawyers"
THE historic decisions Of re-
cent weeks do nothing more
or less than reaffirm the Con-
stitution and the Bill of Rights
as the supreme law Of the land"
he said.
why these decisions should
induce systeria in any segment
Of the population-much less
my brother lawyers-beats me.
"If the persons or forces now
yapping at the court for re-
turning to fundamental Ameri.
can precepts want to put the
matter to a test let them have
the courage Of their convictions
and sponsor an amendment to
the Constitution repeating the
Bill of Rights" Mr.. Eddy said.
His remarks drew applause
from a large section of the
audience attending the final
convention session.
However. the convention
adopted the resolution which
calls on the Supreme Court to
follow long established prece-
dent"
1t states that the bar "de-
ploreS any tendency toward
wholesale disregard Of judicial
precedent in the Interpretation
Of the Constitution" and rec
ommends that a committee be
appointed to study the pos
sibility Of limiting the power
of the court to change prior
