nearly midnight. When I get
home my dinner is on the ia
BILE and a baby sitter is there
with the kids. My wife is out
playing cards. Even Saturday
and Sunday, when am home,
she has card games either in
our house or in some other
woman's home.
l realize it is pretty lonely for
her having me away every eve
ming, but / think that two
nights a week should be enough
for card games. Liz is a good
player and has made more than
she has lost at cards, but l just
don't like it.
Elizabeth F.-The way Ar
mold talks about 1t, you would
think I'm committing some ter
rible crime by playing cards. l
am doing nothing wrong. I'm
the restless type and I just
can't sit still in the evening.
It's not just the cards. it's
the Sociability and the fact
that I go out of the house for
a few hours that l really enjoy.
Nobody can accuse me of
neglecting my home and fam
lily for card games. If I do say
it myself, I am an excellent
homemaker. I keep my place
in top shape and take good
care of the children.
Before l leave the house /
see that they are in bed. They
watch TV until they fall
asleep.
1t would be different If I lost
money. but Arnold himself ad-
mitS that I'm very Shrewd
player.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Both husbands and wives
often feel Inundated if their
mate shows signs of any OBJ
SeSsive habit. 1t is rightfully
assumed that obsessions in
dictate some form of emo
tional, mental or moral i'll
health.
Card playing every night of
the week is certainly an obses-
sion. The restleSsness Elizabeth
feels is not the normal urge
toward useful activity expert
enced by any person with
surplus time and energy on
his hands.
/ 1t is really a kind of anxiety,
experienced when an addict is
deprived of his particular COM
pulsion.f Healthy restlessneSs
would seek its outlet in many
different forms of activity
handwork, headwork, social
fun, civic contributions, family
planning and many other
things.
Elizabeth fools herself when
she says lit isn't the cards. it's
the Sociability." Sociability is
undoubtedly available to her in
other forms. but she closes her
eyes to these opportunities.
She also fools herself when
she claims that she is fulfillir\
her responsibilities. She MAJ
feed her children and put them
to bed on time. but she has
substituted TV for a parent
every evening.
It's a very poor substitute,
especially in view of the fact
that these children see little
of their father. The lonely
dinner Arnold finds on the
table when he comes home is
also a very poor substitute for
a welcome from a wife.
Elizabeth should certainly
make an effort to cure herself
of the card-playing habit and
to find worthwhile activities in
her own home for at least five
nights a week. The process of
throwing herself into other en-
deavors with real enthusiasm
will in itself act as a cure for
her obseSsion.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Man Wants Gray Hair
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn:
Please give me a lift. 1 am
rs and retired five years ago.
Here is my problem: kindly
tell me how. can get gray
hair. My wife's hair is gray.
We go out together to visit
the shut-ins and visit the
sick. We haven't got much
money, but even if we had
more we could not live any
better-I mean eat better or
buy more. l am a good dresser
and look as spick and span as
when we got married.
The reason I wish my hair
were gray like my wife's is
that think she Is embar-
raised about 1t all. Our
friends keep tantaliZing her
by saying I look like her son.
Mr.. M. N. G.
Keep worrying about it long
enough, and first thing you
know, your hair will turn
white. Your friends may then
begin calling you your wife's
father.
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn:
My father is II years old. He
has had cOrOnary thrombosis,
but he has been feeling well
the past few years. He now
has developed a large hernia.
The doctor wants to operate
although there is risk in
volved. Do you advise sur
gerry? What might happen If
we decided not to have the
OperatiOn?-Mrs. X. d.
To operate or not to OPP
crate! How often that is the
bugbear of proper manage
ment. If the patient has OPP
erative complications we say:
Perhaps we would have been
better off not operating.
However, if we don't operate
and we find we are in a mess
later, we often say: Perhaps
we should have operated"
Each case is an individual
problem. In the elderly it can
best be solved by putting three
heads together; a medical
man, a surgeon and an anes-
thesiologist. They can best de-
eide if your father is a good
risk. I would say that if they
agree, go ahead with it. Proper
snetheSia is most important.
If you delay the operation
your father may have to come
to it when his physical condi-
ton is worse than it is now
Sudden obstruction of the
hernia doesn't help.
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: l
am a man of 65 and a vic
tim of childhood rheumatic
fever. l would like to have
you make a few comments
in your column regarding
tachycardia and auricular
fertilization. Are they one and
the same thing? l have
spells of rapid heart action
lasting from two to 80 hours.
I don't mind the short at
tacks, but the longer ones
exhaust me. Should l con-
tinue my normal activities
during the spells? n. n. r.
Probably you are having at.
tacks of paroxysmal tachycar.
dia or of auricular fertilization
What's important is to have
your doctor evaluate you
heart. Do you have rheumatic
heart disease? Do you have
hypertensive heart disease? DE-
you have arteriosclerotic hear
disease? Or is it possible thai
you have an overactive Thyroid
nodule that is causing YOU
heart symptoms. All of thest
questions must be answered
For it is also possible to have
the rapid heart actions vol
msption and still have a nor
NAL heart.

A Visit to q WrestIinq Act

He had good feel for a car.
He kept the speedometer on

X was a wrestler. He was
built like a capital NJ. A sack
of potatoes would fit on each
shoulder without sliding off.
He had dark skin and a nose
like a half empty tube of tooth

had never made the wrestling
bigtime. He talked too much
and everybody knew it. His
hands were like cali hams. and
he had skill too, but he seldom
used the holds he had learned
in college.
The car moved off the high
way onto a curving ramp and
down into a town and over to

Halfway back, there was a
platform with two men and g
camera on it. They yelled some
thing unintelligible to the mar

$500 Boy Scouts
TO Enjoy Summer
At Camp Rodney

More than $500 Boy Scouts
and Explorers are expected to
use the facilities at Camp Rod
ney, the Del-Mar-Va Boy Scout
Councils l,000-acre reservation
on the shores of Chesapeake
Bay, near North East, Md, this
summer.
The camp program is geared
to furthering the patrol method
used by troops in their at-home
operations, and the troops are
encouraged to camp as units.
The camp opened June %.
The accent on unit leadership
and patrol method is so strong
that the 60 members of the
camp staff will not pass a boy
on his First or Second Class re-
quirements. They will demon
onStrate-in five new areas set
up for that purpose-the skills
that are required of Second and
First Class Scouts, but it is up
to the boy himself to put these
skills into use in a camping sit
uation to the satisfaction of his
own scoutmaster before he
passes the test.
The staff will pass boys on
merit badges, however: Last
year, some 1900 merit badges
were earned in such subjects as
camping, swimming, rowing,
bird study, cooking, life saving,
canoeing, forestry, geology, soil
and water conservation, marks
manship, hiking, and the like.
A full-time Protestant chap
lain, the Rev. Robert Florian, di-
rector of religious education at
Wesley College, Dover, is on
hand at the camp, and Catho-
lie chaplain is there on week
ends. The staff also includes
doctor.
The public is invited to in
spect the camp-but if you &c
