DEAR ABBY
Wife Suspects the Worst From Husband
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN

One morning he woke up and
said to me. sAnna, ! have sup
ported you for 20 years. now it's
your turn to support me-" And
he never got out of bed for four
months. / almost. went out Of
my mind making excuses for
him. His union called and his
bosses called. I finally took him
to a doctor and they said they
couldn't find a think wrong
with him. I am at the end Of
my rope and don't know where
to turn.
END OF ROPE.
You took your husband to
the wrong doctor. There Is
something wrong with him.
A good psychiatrist could not
only tell you what il Is, but
could probably straighten him
out.

DEAR ABBY: Many of my
good friends have dogs or cats.
They play with them, rub their
hands over the animals faces
and then when it's time to
prepare a meal they start right
in without even washing their
hands. 1t just turns my stomach
and / have all ] can do to eat.

By DR.. PETER ]. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: Our
Doctor Just broke the bad
news to my husband last
week: he has a coronary con-
ditiOn. But he has not had
a thrombosis. The doctor
says my husband Is fortunate
in having discovered Il early
so he can live within his
limits and prOlOng his life.
But Harry has become de-
pressed and feels that he win
be dying any day now. I wish,
DR.. Steincrohn, that you
could write something in
your column that will cheer
him up. Thank you. Sin
cerely, Mrs. s. S.
Let me quote from my book
'You Can Increase Your Heart
Power" published by Double

quote from the chapter called
Faith is Potent Medicine Chave

the heart patient can take is
this: a good, strong, daily dose
Of faith.

faith, by no means let anybody

out of it. 1t is a precious
possession.

Woman Of the Year CHelen
Hayes.
The Sports Father of the Year
is Sugar Ray Robinson. Know
why? Because he is 1.-THE only
man to have won the worlds
middleweight crown five times. /"
To be a good father, one doesn't
need more than that. Peter
Ustinov, an English actor, was
picked as Stage Father Of the
Year because Of his cultured
attitude toward life" That
does it.
Victor Borge is the Tele-
vision Father Of the Year.
Why? Because his exceptional
telecast in January 1858, set a
new high mark in humor and
serious music" The Radio
Father Of the Year is Walter
Cronkite because of his long
and continuing excellence in
straight news and feature COW
erage."
The committe wanders far
in its reasons for selecting men
as fathers of the year. The all
time father Of all years would,
I suggest, be Joseph, husband
Of Mary. But he, poor man,
doesn't stand much of a chance
Of being nominated for any
thing because he hasn't got a
press agent or q rich sponsor.
Anyway he did nothing out
Of the ordinary except to fol-
low the will Of God. What COM
mittee in its right mind would
think Of mentioning Joseph as
an example for all fathers? He
hasn't even got e Trendex
rating.
Still you may be sure of this:
on Sunday, when the children
of the nation have choice be-
tween honoring DR.. Milton
Eisenhower or their own dad
dies, no child will hesitate.

Dear DIR. Steincr0hn: Some
times in February / had a
basal metabolism test which
showed a Is minus. The doc
tr0 put me ON one grain Of
thyroid . day which / have
been taking with some reg
ularity. | have a record of
low metabOlisms stemmfng
back some eight years but
previous tests never indicated
anything less than an eight
minus.
MY question is this: Inas-
much as thyroid Is a hOr-
none, Is there any danger in
taking 1t for many years? My
doctor told me l could dis
continue it whenever felt
peppier. Mrs. j. I.
Patients can take thyroid
year in and out without any
fear Of harm provided that
they have periodic checkups by
their doctor. Otherwise they
may be taking too much-or
too little. If they take too
much, they will become ner-
vous, the pulse win skip or run
away with itself, and they will
have. many of the symptoms
of an overactive thyroid.
If they take too little, it is
evident that they are just going
through the motions of taking
or medicine which will be in
effective.
AS for your basal metabolism
tests, Mrs. j. T., I have always
tried to double-check on bor-
derline readings. For example.

M. r. readings to range from
Is minus to Is plus.

REPORTER
It's Fathers Doy-Every Day

Sunday is Fathers Day. There
will be no observance here. My
daughters love their father on
too many days of the year now.
And they deSpise him on so few.
They do not want anyone tell
ing them when I should get a
tie and a kiss, or when they
should visit their mothers
grave, or on what day they can
be kind to our cowardly dog,
Rocky.
The American goal is always
peace and a dollar. We have
gone to far for the dollar. The
home is now invaded by pres
surized publicity and we are told
when to love each other. This
house always had love. 1t had
fights, to-bitter ones-but let
some stranger walk in waving a
procla m a ton and saying:
"Peace. The calendar says that
this is the time to love your
mother-in-law" and he'd have
been hit with an empty bottle.
Fathers Day my eye. On the
desk before me is a big sheet
Of paper with a headline that
says: Fathers Day News" You
want to know some Of the
news" on it? Don't laugh, be-
cause this is big business:
Old-FashiOned Kind
The National Fathers Day
Committee consists, in part, OF
such good old-fashioned fathers
as Mrs. Lawrence Tibbett, Mrs.
Howard Chandler Christy. Mrs.
Oliver Hartman, Mrs. Eddie
Rickenbacker and the Camp
Fire Girls. Oh brother. -.
The official Dads Flower"
Is the red rose. The official
menu for Sunday is soup,
chicken, cranberry sauce and
ice cream cake. The committee
has arranged A Fathers Ten
Commandments. The first is
"Your sense Of Brotherhood in
stills in your child respect for
his fellow man." I would change
that one to read: your sense
of devotion to your wife and
children instills in the young
respect for themselves and
their elders"
The committee. it seems to
Ime, misses the point in select
ing a Father of the Year. He
should be a man who has done
the most with the least. Some
where there is a brakeman or
factory worker or miner who,
on little income, shepherds a
large family and aims them
toward God and country and
family unity.
Committees Choice
The committee picked DR..
Milton 8. Eisenhower. He is
president of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and q brother Of the
President. He is probably q
good father. He can't afford
to be less. However. I cannot
picture myself day-dreaming
about dear old dad and COM
ing up with a mental image Of
Milton Eisenhower. Nor can ]
envisage him rolling on the
floor with the children. Or
anyone else.
Eddie Fisher is the Music
Father of the Year. He is
sweet and professionally hum
bic and was good for a Fathers
Day plug on his program. Wal
ter Brennan, the perSonable
persimmon of the movies, is
the Grandfather of the Year
Howard Duff and Ida Lupinc
are the Husband and Wife team

got into Fathers Day escapes

ped and able than I were
promoted ahead Of me. In q
couple Of places I was told I
was not cut out for the work
I was doing.
| ] have finally decided to try
to settle down in a civil serv-
ice job. I am good at passing
exams, but apparently not so
good at making my way when
it depends upon making an i'm
preston on other people. My
sister, who is somewhat biased
about me. objects.
Vivian J.--Stan was a bril-
liant student at school. yet he
always managed to get himself
messed up in some silly way.
His research papers were all
ways late, his exam papers
sloppy. Sometimes he would get
his classes mixed up and go
to the wrong place at the wrong
time. Yet everyone agreed that
he was brilliant.
The same thing has happened
in the jobs he has held. Even
when he tries very hard to do
everything just right, some
small thing will happen to trip
him up or he will strike the
wrong note with a key person.
/ feel Stan must find the work
he. is really cut out for and then
he will soar ahead. But the
civil service for him would be
to accept defeat. He wants to
take something far under his
liabilities.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is difficult for family and
friends to watch a man like
Stanley founder. yet it is doubt
full whether there is any other
way for him to find himself.
Vivian, like most well-mean-
ing individuals on the side lines,
can give negative advice, but
can do little of positive value.
She does not know what field
Iof endeavor or what particular
job will bring out her brothers
real capabilities.
She is sure civil service would
stifle them, yet she cannot tell.
Only Stanley will be able to
tell once he has tried it.
1t is possible a job way
beneath his capabilities will be
just the thing to make Stan
snap into q realization Of what
he wants to do. Vivian Is prob
ably right in her feeling that
once her brother clicks in the
right job he will move ahead
quickly.
However. Stanley should rec
ogniSe he is not linked. He
apparently has some PERSONAL
ity disturbance which is Great
ing trouble for him. He may
ind 1t worthwhile to talk over
his problems with a psychiatrist.
AS for his immediate voca-
tional plans. We think he ought
to follow his own instincts and
do his best. He should not look
upon his civil service job as a
defeat, but as a possible OPEN
ing to a fuller, more secure life.
If he views it in this spirit. he
may very well be as successful
and happy in this work as
thousands Of others.

Mining Stock Profits Contested By Internal Rev.

WASHINGTON, R-The U. s. Tax Court has been asked to rule on a difference of opinion con- cerning the value of an Alaska mining stock.
 X The Internal Revenue Service contends that the estate of Rob- ert w. Vinnedge owes $46,585 in estate taxes.
 An appeal filed with the court by the Pacific National Bank of Seattle. estate executors, denies the governments claim in it's en- tirety.
 The case centers around a de- termination by the revenue serv- ice that common stock in the Goodnews Bay Mining Co. should be $70 a share rather than the $27 fixed by the executors.
 Vinnedge owned 1888 shares of stock in the company which is engaged in placer mining of plat mum group metals at Goodnews Bay, Alaska.
 In their petition to the court, the executors said the company began operation in 1885 and has continued seasonal operations since. They said the operation has remaining life estimated in 1854 at six years, depending upon mar ket and mining conditions.
 As of December 31, 1854, the petition said, company stock had a book value of $48.82 a share. A realistic adjustment, it said, would lower this to $28.8O.
 While there have been no re- cent transactions in company stock by which to determine a market price, the petition said the price of capital stocks of other similar companies ranges from 30 per cent to 60 per cent of related book values.

Twelve More Miners Brought Out Alive

SPRINGHILL, N. S., R - Twelve miners brought to the surface Thursday after being trapped nearly week in a wrecked coal mine told of pray ing and singing hymns to keep up their courage as they waited out the long, dark hours.
 Some of the sturdier ones told of the ordeal after their dramatic rescue early Thursday from the Cumberland No. 2 coal mine, where they were trapped by a massive earth shift last Thurs day night.
 The force of the shift tossed them against the roof of the tun- nel where they were working more than two miles from the mine entrance.
 The 12 found themselves trapped in pocket 100 feet long and 3 feet high. By some miracle, there was no gas and some fresh air seeped in through the debris. One of them said:
 "At first we tried to dig our way out, but soon we got so weak we had to stop" He added, "We had no food and no water since Sunday or Monday. The last thing we ate were a few crusts of bread.
 'We rationed out lights and cut some batteries off the dead men, but on Monday we were in dark neSs."
 The air gradually became bad. There was no room to stand. In their struggle to stay alive when the last water was gone, they drank urine mixed with bark, they told physicians.
 Their rescue brought to 93 the number saved. Twenty-six bodies have been recovered. There were 174 men below when disaster struck.
