immaturity and lack Of pre-
paredness for marriage.
Mrs. l.. s. is, however.
making a mistake by forcing
the college issue. It is fine
for parents to have cherished
dreams for their children.
but the dreams shouldn't be
diagrams. There should be
some fiexibility to allow ex-
preston of the child's in
dividuality.
Sharon cannot benefit
from her college experience
merely by sweating in lie
braries and freezing in DOR
mitories for another three
years. Mrs. L. S. should face
the fact that what she really
wanted for her daughter was
not a mere piece of paper
inscribed with the bachelor
of arts degree, but knowl-
edge, capability, poise and
refinement.
1t is possible to get these
things outside of college
and it is possible to miss
them completely at college.
AS long as the issue is coll
lege in its present form or
marriage, Sharon will nat
urally choose marriage. But
Mrs. LIS. is right that in her
present frame of mind
Sharon is liable to get as fed
up with marriage as she is
with school. Sharon undoubt-
edly needs to develop disci-
pline, the ability to get along
with others and a knowledge
Of how to make the most Of
her life in any given Situa-
ton.
A job may do the trick for
her. Possibly a change of
college or Of her major would
help. Since she is so deter
mined to have a big family, q
domestic science course might
be the right thing for her.
A business course, followed
by working experience. is
another possibility.
There are any number Of
ways in which Sharon can
spend the next two or three
years profitably. at the same
time gaining the necessary
maturity and Judgment to
choose her mate.

Only lately have we physi-

that chest pain may be one
or the only symptom of
gastric ulcer.
For example, in a recent
paper in the South African
Medical journal, there are a
few case reports by A. She'd

presence Of chest symptoms
in the absence of "indiges-
ton" Yet. ulcers of the
stomach were present.
One of his patients. a
woman of 40. complained of
chest pain that was referred
to the back. AS the pain was
high up, she thought that
she had lung trouble. But

of lung or heart disease. AS

had no symptoms. Yet, X

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: 1
have read much about the
symptoms and treatment Of
people who have overactive
thyroid glands. Will you
write a column on hypOthy-
rOid people? l understand
that in such cases the thy
r"'' does not manufacture
sufficient thyroid secretion.
AnOw il is necessary TO take
a metabOliSm test TO check
on the thyroid rate. What
are the usual symptoms Of
an underactive thyroid? Sim
cerely, Mrs. S. NJ.
Don't attempt to make a
diagnosis by reading the
symptoms that l shall emu
merate. That is strictly your
doctors job. To determine
if your thyroid is under
active he will take a basal
metabolism test. He may
double-check with a pro-
tein-bound iodine examina-
ton or a radioactive iodine
uptake. OF course he will do
a complete physical; and
probably order a blood cho-
lesterol. The result of all
this will add up to the proper
diagnosis. If you have hy-
pothyroidism he will pre-
scribe thyroid extract land
any other medicine he thinks
necessary. Within weeks or
months you should notice a
distinct improvement in your
condition.
Why is proper thyroid Sc
erection so important? Be-
cause 1t acts upon every part
Of the body. 1t takes an i'm
portant part in maintaining
the normal condition of the
skin. digestive. circulatory,
muscular. nervous and repro
ductive systems. 1t controls
growth and development; af-
fects protein, fat and carbo-
hydrate metabolism and reg
ulates the water and mineral
balance in the body.
For these reasons, when
the thyroid is underactive.
the patient may have one or
all Of the following symp-
toms. II repeat, don't at
tempt to diagnose yourself:
Lack of energy; over
weight; slow pulse; cold
hands and feet; especially
sensitive to cold Complain

able); sleepiness; inability to
concentrate; irri liability;
chronic headache; anemia;

brittle nails. sterility; men,
strual irregularities; impot-
ence.
Now that you have this
list, take it to your doctor
and he will tell you whether
your own symptoms fit into
a diagnosis of underactive
thyroid.

THE DETAILS

Sharon S.-My mother
and / are having a terrific
fued over me. I am 10 and
a college sophomore. The
big question is: VIII it be
marriage or college next
year.
A perfectly swell guy Of
Is wants to marry me and /
feel / am mature enough.
/ want a big family and 1
feel the sooner ] get started
the better.
I just dread going back to
that horrible women's COL
lege where I am enrolled.
The girls and the teachers
are really for the birds.
Supposedly / am majoring
in history, which ! detest
and which I chose Because
my mother likes it.
How much nicer it would
be to have my own home
and husband next year in
stead of sweating in a hot
library and freezing in a cold
dormitory, constantly yak
king about nothing with
girls I hate. t
Mrs. L. S.-Like most moth
ers, / guess I have wanted to
give Sharon the advantages
/ couldn't have. 1t was my
most cherished dream from
the time she was born to
have her go to college.
But that isn't the only
reason l want her to go back,
to school next year. Her faith
er and / really feel she isn't
mature enough yet to make a
choice.
The young man she wants
to marry doesn't seem to us
the right type for her. The
big thing that recommends
him to Sharon. as far as we
can see. is that he wants to
marry her-fast.
Sharon is the kind Of girl
who completely lacks disci-
pline and / think college is
a good place to develop it.
I'm afraid when she finds out
what married life is really
like she'll get as sick of it
as she is of school.
