THE GOLDEN YEARS
BY THOMAS COLLINS

What bright boy thought up
the idea Of mailing one social
security check, instead of two,
to the man and wife who both
are eligible for benefits?
This was a masculine deci-
sion if ever one came out of
Washington. The closest
woman to it was probably a
civil service secretary sitting
two paneled walls away.
1t was a practical economy
step, no doubt. 1t saves a lot of
mail and lot of check-writing
But as one 65-year-old wife put
1t this week, that social Sc
curity check was the first piece
Of money l could call my own
In Al years :. and the Govern
ment takes it away"
Social security started this
new practice only a short time
ago. At the time it stated that
the wife or husband still could
get separate checks if they
asked for them. An official said
this week there had been few
complaints.
It looks like Social Security
the Great White Father of the
old folks and the good heart OF
America, doesn't understand
women.

Suddenly the official straight

son was my host. Heenan Is
out at the track three times q
week and he carries his own
charts, full Of symbols written
in red crayon and blue. He not
only knows more about the an
cestry Of the horse than his
own, but he can tell you how
fast the horse ran in yester-
days workout, whether he
shines at short races or long
ones, whether he has a nodding
acquaintance with his jockey.
and whether his heart is in his
work.
He has picked six winners in
seven races and he wins the
Quinella as though he devised

suckers. Mr.. Heenan is the one
man who can pay the rent with
his winnings. He has a disturb
ing habit Of saying, for ex-
ample, that he likes number

number four until-excuse me
he is horse. When number
six wins, he looks at you sheep
ishly and produces q win ticket

On the day, it cost me $93
to sit in the sun and listen to

Fridoy: Story Of how q friendship
ended,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-05
THE DETAILS

Mr.. E. D.--My wife and / are
very much concerned about our
son and daughter, who seem to
feel that they have arrived at
such a ripe old age they have
no need at all for their parents.
Denis is "a and Flora is 81.
They do exactly as they please
in every way and won't take
advice from us. Flora has al
ready had two broken engage
ments. These could have been
avoided If she had listened to
us in the first place. Denis
went INTO business partnership
with a friend of his and lost
his shirt. I warned him, but
he wouldn't listen.
How can we make them un-
derstand that their parents
have a little more experience
and wisdom than they have?
Flora D.-Our parents really
have no understanding of us OF
our problems. Anything we do
they say is wrong. They say
they know better. Sometimes
we turn out to be right, but they
overlook that.
My parents say my broken
engagements could have been
avoided if I had listened to
them. But it was their fault
that I got engaged in the first
place. They wanted me to
marry someone I didn't like at
all and / just got engaged to
get them of my back.
The same thing happened
with Denis. My father wanted
him to go into a particular line
Of work which he happens to
hate. Just to get rid of Dads
pressure. Denis got into bust
ness trouble.

E. DIS have foolisnly allowed

pose a patient has an attack
Of chest pain and the cleo
trOcardiogram remains Mega
tive for days. Is there any
other test that will help make
the diagnosis? Sincerely Mr..
s. M.
The electrocardiogram is only
one Of many procedures we use
in evaluating chest pain. The
history, physical examination
and clinical experience of the
doctor are still all-important
We do have laboratory tests
that help confirm our findings
One, fairly new, is called the
Serum TransaminaSe test. Ir
cases of cardiac infarction, fol-
lowing coronary thrombosis, the
blood transaminase levels are
higher than normal. These
findings are especially helpful
in borderline cases where the
diagnosis is in doubt.
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: Isn't
il actually true that "time
flies" more quickly for the
older person? There must be
some scientific proof Of this.

to prove that their children
can't get along without them
The children, lacking Self-con-
fidence, do everything possible
to prove they have no need
whatever Of parental advice
But if things go wrong, they
feel they have a right to blame
their parents because the par
ents are too ready to feel re-
sponsible for them.
The E. DIS must recognize
that Denis and Flora are adults
and old enough to be parents
themselves. They cannot pos
sibly expect this young mar
and woman to obey blindly.
From Flora's statement II
appears that neither she MOI
her brother have yet accepted
full responsibility for their de-
cisions and for their lives in
general. Mature. clear-minded
women don't get involved in
engagements they don't mean
and then turn around and
blame their parents for the
whole affair. It was a mighty
silly way Of coping with pres
sure.
Flora and Denis need to
make their own decisions, based
on reason and ethical consid-
erations, not reaction against
their parents. They will learn
from their mistakes only if they
get into the habit of taking
C omplete responsibility fol
heir actions.
The E. DIS should recognize
that their role in their chill
dren's lives is now that of eel
der statesmen" The children
NAV come to them for advice
if it is taken for granted that
Flora and Denis can and must
make the ultimate decision.

Use of Hypnosis in Childbirth
By DR.. PETER J sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: Is it
really possible TO have a baby
while under hypnosis? l have
read Of such, but never heard
It directly from = medical
source. Mrs. s.
Hypnosis Is being used In the
management of many medical
and surgical conditions. Never
theless, it is not q procedure
for the unframed. There are
many reports Of its use in
childbirth. I have just come
across one in which hypoanes-
thesia was used successfully,
for the first time, in delivering
q patient by Caesarian section
and then removing the uterus,
The patient was completely
aware Of what was going on at
all times; there was no evil
dence of pain or clinical shock,
The case was reported in the
journal of the American Med
ical Association in February
1857 by Drs. William s. Korger
and Sol T. DeLee. The authors
stress this: in spite Of the eff
fectiveness Of hypnosis in ma
jor surgery it will never be a
full substitute for the usual
types of anesthesia. Hypoanes-
thesia can only be used in
about 10 per cent Of selected
cases.
Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: Is
there anything new In the
choIesterOl diet situation?
How much in the way Of fats
can a cOronary patient safely
take? Mr.. E. C.
I wish the answer were as
simple as. two plus two makes
four. There is still much diff
ference of opinion. However,
many investigators-in the la
boratory and at the bedside
are beginning to believe that il
Is not so much fat itself that 1;
the problem; but what kind Of
fat.
BY this time everybody has
probably heard of the saturated
and the unsaturated fats. First
we used to tell patients, Better
cut down on all fatty foods.
Now we believe that it is i'm
poftant that there be added Q
proper amount of unsaturateC
fats to the diet. In some way
these protect against excessive
formation of atherosclerosis.

MORE NATIVES ON BOARDS

ONE Of The suggestions made before the Con-
g%ressional committee on the recharter Of the Virgin
Islands Corporation was that men with agricultural
training or inclination be included on the board of d-
rectors of that corporation. DR.. Aubrey Anduze came
up with this suggestion during his testimony, which we
consider one of the best ever made before a Congress
sional committee.
WHILE IT IS TRUE that the Virgin Islands Cor
p~oration is a business. yet part of its business is in the
field Of agriculture, and nothing could be more appro-
pirate than the knowledge and experience of men in
these particular areas Of activities. Men who know what
the situation is, how it functions, and have either the
experience Or the formal training to bring constructive
ideas to agriculture on. the whole. Such men should be
on the board Of directors.
BUT MAY WE o another word. It is an inter
esting oversight that the number Of natives on such
boards, commissions, and the like, is so small. Politics
has so dominated the situation that even such commits
sions are influenced by it. During the Democratic adj
ministration, a Chicago publisher was on the board. At
the expiration Of Sengstackes term, he was replaced by
a Michigan physician.
WHETHER THIS replacementehad ever heard of
such a place as the Virgin Islands we do not know, yet
there is a strong likelihood that that was the case. He
might Just turn out to be the best and most useful board
member, but that element of uncertainty might have
been avoided by the appointment Of a native, whose
very sense Of loyalty and devotion could have dictated
from the outset a different approach to many problems.
THE IDEA OF having men whose concerns run
parallel to those Of the Islands would be the best bet.
We would, indeed, like to- see other natives on the board
Of directors Of the Virgin Islands Corporation.
