ens-in view Of the many sad
experiences retired people have
had with them-to anybody
who'll take them. But you can
breed dogs. Cats. Even a few
ponies. And II you make q study
OF what you're doing. instead
OF trying a brash assault on
the idea. you can make money.
With any sort Of animals, be
prepared 10 contend with their

repugnant to city people.
a. Speciality crops or animal
breeding don't require 200
acres. SO consider. maybe, 40
acres. Outside the Midwest and
a few other high-potency
farming areas. such farms can
be had, and for prices from $40
an acre up. Anyway. one-half

country, farms are mostly clay.
A smart retired couple from the
city could turn potters, convert
q COW shed into q studio" and
do well making pottery. And
selling 1t either to city stores
or in q roadside stand. Other
farms provide wood and canes
for weaving products, like
baskets, that would sell. Many
books and schools can teach
you how. City people, with their
knowledge Of city merchandise

projects like these.

Cd And a postscript: I per-

farmers and the birds, not for
retired city folks. But If you
follow some Of the ideas above,
pick your farm near a small

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
GoH-BIodder Suroery
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Unlike acute appendicitis,
where there is no yes or no
decision to make about
operation (the answer Is al
ways yes), gall-bladder dis
ease allows of thoughtful,
unhurried decision. Here are
two letters which help make
the point:
Dear DIR. SteincPOhn: will
you kindly write q column
discussing proper diet for
patients with gall-bladder
trouble? My X-rays show
that I have some small
stones. They give me con-
siderable discomfort. I want
to avoid an operation and
am told that a fat-free diet
will be necessary. Thank
you. Sincerely, Mrs. II. H. II.
Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: Could
. gall-bladder condition
cause almost constant nau-
sea? X-rays showed small
stones. I was put on a strict
diet which lessened the pain
l used TO have under my right
shoulder blade. However, the
nausea still persists. My doc
tor says the only remedy is
operation.
l am at my wits end. as I
cannot enjoy a meal like
other people. am getting
very discouraged. l am in my
late sixties. Isn't 1t danger
Gus to have a gall bladder
operation at that age? Sin
cerely, Mrs. J. c. N.
Readers who have followed
this column may recall that ]
have been conservative about
recommending gall = bladder
surgery. I am one of a fairly
large group who do not believe
that the diagnosis Of gall
bladder disease (unless there i!
a gangrenous gall bladder pres.
ent) should be followed quickly
by operation. Usually there;
time to try simple medica,
treatment: dieting. antipas-
modic medication and other
measures. Many patients have
lived in comfort for years un-
der such management.
But you also may remember
that I have advised against
temporizing with a bad gall
bladder when medical treat
ment has failed. Let's put il
this way: If you can't sit down
to a moderately heavy meal
without having to pay for il
(day in and day out) with
nausea, pain, belching, fumes;

Martha K.-My husband and
I are in our mid-twenties and
have been married three years.
We have no children yet, but
hope to have soon.
My problem is my mother-in-
law. She is very nasty to me

marks. She always reminds me
that when she was my age she
had four children. She sug-
gests that something is wrong
with fne-although she knows

who assures me that I am well
able to have a child.
When I told my husband
about these remarks of his
mothers. he said I was being
silly. I think he ought to tell
her to mind her own business
about these things.
Daniel X. - It's a strange
thing, but my mother has never
made any of these so-called
nasty" remarks in my pres
ence. 1 don't mean to suggest
Martha isn't telling the truth.
! just mean she exaggerates
and puts a. wrong emphasis on
some of Mothers remarks.
My mother is a very devoted
woman. She is concerned about
my happiness and maybe she
sometimes goes too far in her
solicitude. But I feel anything
she says should be taken in the
spirit in which it is intended.
1t seems to me Martha is
being very oversensitive. My

self Of $l73 q month. It's not
enough TO make life good mere

But you have a house with a
good hunk Of money paid in
to II. or you have savings. All
told. you could cash in a total
Of $4,000 or $4,000.
Is there any way you could
use that kind Of money TO buy
some additional monthly in

That's the question Mr.. and
Mrs. Forest B. Gleason are ask
ing.

commission. about $4,000"
they say. an addition. we have
savings and cash value on life
Insurance policies that would
give US a total Of about sls..

"On our retirement income Of
e173 a month we can't keep the
house in the city with any
satisfaction or pleasure. But
could we perhaps buy q farm
with our $4,000. get q house
with it, then find a way to
make around $1,000 O year
from the land?"
Possibly.
Some Considerations
For the Gleasons-and for
you If you're in their circum-
stances-here are some things
10 think about:
ID For $4,000 you could
buy in many parts of the coun-
try a family farm, large enough
10 raise bulk crops. You could
rent the land out to a neigh
boring farmer for this purpose
If you had a neighbor who
wanted it. Your income would
vary with the productivity Of
the land. You could hire labor
and operate the farm yourself,
which would probably run you
crazy. Or you could try to play
farmer, which with your city
background and age might
break you or kill you.
90 You don't have to raise
bulk crops to make money from
q farm. Choose the area of the
country you want, determine
what county 1t is in (from a
map), then contact the county
agent. He's a government off,
cial, can usually be contacted
through the county court
house, and he's the boy who
knows the farm situation in
his county and will tell you
the truth about it. Ask him
to outline for you some of the
small speciality produce that
can be grown for a profit.
Something you can turn out
with your own labor. It could
be a type Of flowers. straw
berries, fruit trees. asparagus

THE COUNCILS VIEW
We agree that it is rather
strange that Daniels mother
has made these personal re-
marks when Daniel was out Of
the room. 1t is possible that
Martha exaggerated or put a
wrong emphasis on the re-
marks.
But the remarks should not
have been made at all. If they
hadn't been made, there would
have been no possibility Of q
wrong Interpretation.
We do not agree that Mar
tina Is "oversensitive." The issue
is a personal one and Martha
feels somewhat vulnerable,
since her desire for a child has
not yet been fulfilled. Ordi-
nary courtesy calls for silence
on the part Of outsiders.
It would be wise and kind
OF Daniel to discuss the ques-
ton with his mother and TO
tell her such remarks hurt his
wife. He should ask her in a
nice way to refrain from max
ing them.

matter. ! recall dozens of pa
tients who had cholecystecto-
mics in their COS, 70s and S0S.
They did all right. Recovered

ical age, not the calendar age
that matters.
Finding q Doctor
Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: Rts-
Gently our 12-year-old son
had what we thought was a
cold, but our doctor said it
was bronchial asthma. He
said he would recommend a
good allergist. But he passed
away . week later without
having told us the name Of
this ether doctor. will you
please tell us how one goes
about getting the name Of a
good doctor? We called one
hospital and they told us
that 1t is their policy never
TO recommend a doctor. Sim
cerely, L. ID.
This is an example Of how
pseudo-ethicS can stand be-
tween the patient in need and
his doctor. Modern medicine
has the goods but sometimes
throws up roadblocks and says
"try and get them"
The meeting between doctor
and patient should be made
easy. Patients should not have
TO depend upon the recon-
Of friends. (How
can they be certain that their
friends choice of a physician
is a wise one?)
When a patient calls a hos
pital. l see no evil in giving
him the list whether / or l2J
of all accredited allergists con-
nected with the institution.
The same goes for internists,
general practitioners, surgeons,
etc.
Best of all, if you live in a
town large enough to have a
local medical society, call its
secretary.
It's time that we medical
men stepped from behind our
false cloaks of "modesty and
ethics" We should make it
easy for the anxious patient to
get to the right kind of doctor
without having to break down
a lot of artificial barriers.

The further easing of the market

Senate passage of the House-approved

of a large 1859 cotton crop. In

er advices from the belt and con-

Declines were cushioned by demand
attributed to technical factors, price
