Heart Strain
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: I
thoroughly enjoy reading your
column in our paper, and I
believe Il Is one Of the most
constructive of its kind to-
day. This is my question: I
am SS years Of age. On Sep
TENDER Is, 1857 ! went swim
ming with my younger
brother whom l had not seen
for some time.
II was very rough, but in
spite Of that, ! was deter
mined to show of. l stood on
my hands in the water, and
l could feel q terrific strain
all over, especially as the
waves came along and
knocked me over double. In
spite Of this, ! did II again
and again.
Well, the next day I had
sharp pains in the heart re-
giOn and they continued for
quite a few days and then
disappeared. I never had any
thing like this before and I
believe l might have strained
my heart that day at the
beach.
Is this possible? Does time
completely heal such n fool
ish trick? Thanking you for
your kind attention, I re-
main respectfully, v. B. f.

THE DETAILS

Edward Al am 80 and my
wife is 80. We have been mar
ried for six years. Naturally, ]
want a family, but my wife
doesn't seem at all inclined in
that direction.
Myra has an interesting Job
and has had q lot Of success at
it. Our plan was to save some
money during the first three
years of our marriage and then
to start a family. / am now
well able to support a family
without Myra's help. but all ]
can get out of her is There's
time"
don't think I'm being old
fashioned or bullying when
say that during the childbear-
ing years. at least. a woman's
place is in the home. If she
isn't willing to accept that
place. she shouldn't be married.
Myra A.-For a long time
have had the impression that
Ed resents my success in my
career and that he is all too
eager to put me in my place"
as he sees it.
! am now earning more
money than Ed. He has long
ago stopped congratulating me
when I get q raise. If he loved
me he would be as proud of me
as ! am of him when he is
successful at something.
It isn't that I don't want a
child. I really do, but I firmly
believe I can have both a
family and a career. Right now
I want to establish myself so
firmly in my career that ! can
easily come back after q leave
of absence of a few years. I
don't think that's being unrea-
sonable or 'unwomanly."
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Bitter rivalry. rather than
love and creativity. certainly
seems to have taken over in
this marriage.

Mountain Rains Increased
The final report of the Pres
ident's Advisory Committee on
Weather Control. headed by
DR.. Howard T. Orville, also was
made public today.
aStressing that an enormous
amount of research remains to
be done before definite conclu-
Sions can be reached. the COM
mittee reported an accumula-
ton Of evidence that seeding
clouds with dry ice or silver
iodide particles in mountain
Gus areas seems to have pro-
duced an average of from a 10
to Is per cent increase in pre-
cipitation. This is based on
analysis of 299 storms, all in
the West. during the last four
years.
In non mountainous areas
there is no evidence that cloud
seeding has produced any in
crease in rainfall.
There was no evidence that
cloud seeding ever has pro-
duced a decline in rainfall. as
sometimes has been commended.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: l
have heard a lot lately about
the danger Of penicillin re-
actions. Are they as common
as people say they are? Mr..
w. C.
Writing in Annals of Allergy,
DR.. GustavuS A. Peters and his
associates make some impor-
tant points. No antibiotic
should be prescribed unless
there is a definite indication
for its use. If possible, drugs
other than penicillin-should be
substituted. AS a general rule,
penicillin should not be pre-
scribed for an individual who
has previously reacted badly to
1t.
In medicine, as in other
spheres of life. it is not unusual
to take advantage Of a good
thing" We doctors know that
penicillin is a life saver; a boon
to mankind. So we have had
a tendency lately to overpre-
scribe it. BY that I mean that
many Of us have gotten into the
habit of giving "shots" of pen
icillin for many ailments iu
which its action is question
able. For example. in colds
Yet, 1t is agreed that penicillin
is Intellectual in curing the
common cold. But patients
come in asking for a "shot."
That is where the danger
arises. The patient gets his
penicillin for a cold which II
cannot help and he has no un-
toward reaction from 1t. A
month or a year later he has q
severe infection like pneumonis
that penicillin will help. The
doctor gives him penicillin and
within hours or days he breaks
out with a severe rash-ol
something worse. THE original
unnecessary injection has SEN
sitized him to penicillin.)
Skin tests for sensitivity arr
uscful-but they do not Away
work. In my experience, peni-
cillin is harmless If HANDLED
like dynamite, Respect its abil'
tiles and potential shortcom'
ings. In other words: Handle
with care.
Crossed Eyes

a note TO tell you ! always

ums. A few days ago you

about "a woman's place" ap-
pears to bear out Myra's &C.
cusation that he resents her
career and is eager to put her
out Of the picture in the pro-
fessional world. Myra. how
ever, overlooks the fact that
Eds resentment may be an
outgrowth of the Illustration Of
his desire to have a family.
In any case, Eds initial de-
sire for children seems now to
have been sidetracked into a
desire to put the brakes on
Myra's professional ambitions
and Myra is fighting back
flercely, overlooking the fact
that she is letting the best
child bearing and Embarrassing
years pass her by.
Edward and Myra need to
re-evaluate their marriage and
decide what they really want
most. Myra is now riding on
a surge Of power that grows
out of her feeling of accom-
plishment in her career, but 1t
is likely that deep underneath
she feels the lack that Ed is
aware of. She should try to
understand her own strongest
feelings, rather than exhaust
her energies in a wasteful battle
with her husband.
Ed also needs to find his own
deepest feelings in the matter
and to show in word and deed
that his desire for children is
genuine and will not be used
as a weapon to suppress his
ambitious wife.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALvERSON

The Harvest Moon will be shin ing at full on Saturday. The liar vest Moon is the full moon that occurs nearest the time of the autumnal equinox. Then the moon hears it's full rise from night to night with the least delay.
 Sometimes the time of the moonrise is only thirteen minutes later than on the night before. Thus, the Harvest Moon fingers longer than other nearly full moons in the evening skies of the Northern Hemisphere. The least delay in the moonrise occurs when the moons path is least inclined to the horizon.
 The moon is the earth's satel- lite, or it's attendant. Some of the satellites of other planets are larger than the moon, but no other satellite or system of sat- elites supplies SO much reflected sunlight to it's respective planet. Our satellite is 2,160 miles in di- ameter, or more than one-fourth of the earth's diameter.

Flirting Riders Lucky In Runaway Vehicle

CANON CITY, Colo, R - Mrs. Cleo Roberts of Denver felt the brakes fail as the car started down la steep, eight-mile hill. She slammed the vehicle into low gear.
 The car rounded a curve and then the clutch went out. It picked up speed, swinging around sharp bends in the highway.
 Mrs. Gladys Meals of Wichita, Kan, owner of the car, sat tensely as Mrs. Roberts steered around a pickup truck at 75 miles an hour.
 The wom en waved and screamed at the truck driver, John Skerjanec, 59, Canon City Power Co. employe.
 At first he thought they were flirting with him. Then he req lized the car was out of control.
 He increased his own speed to 85, he said, until he caught up with the women's car and passed it. He slowed down in front of the runaway vehicle. It rammed the trucks rear bumper, and Skerjanec brought the two ve- hices to stop.

Small Business Admin. Loans Offered for Building Airport Rental Hangars

Builders of hangarS for rental purposes on Alaska airports are eligible for loans from the Small Business Administration, the Civil Aeronautics Administration an- nounced today
 The loans, which are for not more than 80 per cent of the val ue of the hangars, can be made only to firms engaged in the avia- tlon business at airports, or who combine other aviation business with hangar rental. Where an ap- plicant can get bank financing for as much as 25 per cent of the loan, the processing of the Small Business loans is faster. Appli- cations are made to the office of the Administration, 424 Fifth Avenue, Anchorage.
 The arrangement was made by the CAA to meet the shortage of hangars for small personal planes at airports throughout the States. Loans are made only on hangars which have a minimum. capacity of six airplanes, and for a max lmm period of five years. The hangars may be built on leased land if the duration of the lease equals the time limit on the loan.
 The SEA office at Anchorage has a folder, Small Hangar Loans," available free, which de- scribes the loans in detail, and which also includes recommenda- tions of the engineering division of the CAA's Office of Airports on type, cost and features of hangars.

Bomarc, Controlled l5OO Miles Away. Destroys Target

WASHINGTON, R = The Air Force said yesterday its new Bo- marc long range interceptor mis- sile destroyed" a 1,0O0-mile-an- hour target missile flying 75 miles away at height of 48,000 feet.
 Both the Bomarc and the X-1O research rocket used as the tar get were launched from the Cape Canaveral site yesterday. How ever, all firing control of the Bo- marc was from a SAGE air de- fense network center of the Air Force at Kingston, N. Y., 1,500 miles distant.
 The Bomarc carried no war head and the "knockdown" was simulated - recorded by an in strument - with the target fly ing on for later use.
 The Air Force said that "the successful mission demonstrated the capability of the Bomarc sys- tenn and effectiveness of it's di- rection by SAGE"
 The 1,000-mile-per-hour speed of the target used in the test is similar to the speeds of some Rus sian fighters and bombers now in operation.

THE CALL WAS COM

Congratulations on the
weather." said the Rambler,
II have just recovered from
a slight chill. How did you
happen to let a cold front
sneak into town without
warning?"
Reinhart Schmidt laughed
and laughed and laughed.
Now, a cold front is some
thing in this profession of
forecasting the weather. 1t
means that a great mass of
cold air, 10 miles high and
often hundreds of thousands
Of square miles in spread,
has detached itself from the
atmosphere above the Arctic
ice cap and is sliding in a
southeasterly direction across
this continent. Failure to
predict the arrival of a cold
front, in meteorology, would
be something like a crossing
watchman being unaware of
the approach of the 999.
"The drop in temperature"
said Mr.. Schmidt, was not
altogether due to a mass of
cold air. In fact that had
very little to do with it.
There was a high, that
had been a cold air mass,
hanging around the Ohio
Valley on Tuesday. 1t had
absorbed so much heat on
it's slow slide across the con-
tinent that it wasn't able to
put up much Of a cold front.
1T passed over Washing

that was not what changed
the temperature. 1t was
preceded by remarkably
heavy thunderstorms. We
had 2 inches of rain at the
airport. North Washington
had an earlier storm and
ga inches of rain.
''The drop in temperature
that you enjoyed was not
due to air-conditioning. It
was simply that enough
water fell from upper levels
to take the heat out Of the,
surface air"
