Mrs. L. Y. Of San Francisco
says she has been doctoring
on and of for over 10 years.
She has changed doctors
three times during that PEI
riod. They all tell her the
extreme fatigue is due to
anxiety. The last doctor she
consulted finally ordered X
rays. They found a single,
large gladstone.
Il went back to my former.
doctor "a surgeon)," she
writes, "and he did not think
an operation was necessary.
He told me 1t would not
clear up my anxiety and IA
tigue; he thinks my nervous
ness is just tied in with my
makeup and has nothing
to do with the gladstone.
I have no pain or indi-
gestion. Would you have the
gladstone out-or leave 1t
alone as my doctor said?"
YOUR DOCTOR is using
good Judgment. I've seen.
many patients who hoped
that removal Of an appendix
or gall bladder would help
their nervousness. In most
cases 1t aggravated the ner-
vousness rather than allevi-
ated it.
Be thankful for excellent .
judgment on the part Of your
surgeon. If your gall bladder
ever kicks up" sufficiently,
I am sure he will advise your
to have 1t out.
Why invite trouble? / be-
lieve in being conservative
when there is no definite in !,
dication for operation.

Greta appears to have fall
len into q pattern Of self-pity
and anger with the world at
her lonely situation. When
she sings the praises Of her
former husband. 1t is net
purely to honor him, but q
way Of detracting from some
other man. Comparisons Of
this sort are ugly and bn-
reasonable. This blinds her
to any good qualities the new
man may have-and he UNI
doubtedly has them.
When Greta enters an or.
ganization to meet people,
she bears q chip on her
shoulder. She does not go In
with the idea Of being help
full and companionable. She
wants to take something
from the group and is hurt
and frightened when she
realizes that 1t Is not going
to be handed to her on q
silver platter. Other people
have needs too. She takes q
very harsh view of them. but
a very kindly. plying one Of
herself.
Underneath, Greta Is
frightened at her situation
and has taken refuge in cod
ding herself. But this will
never bring her a fuller life.
When she is ready to make
a contribution to others, she
will lose her fears and lonli-
ness. The man with whom
she would like to share the
remainder Of her life may
suddenly appear without her
looking.

Senator Lucinda "A, MilEn commented on the dismis-
Of Alfred Pickering as cook Of the "Carpeake." She
viewed the reasons advanced for his dismissal with. some
skepticism. Discussing this matter also Senator Ottley re-
commended enactment of legislation, at some future date,
to protect employees in the unclassihed service.
Both Senators Millin and Ottley discussed the veto Of
the Bill which ~purported To grant to the Government gifts
Fof certain Roadways in the Contant Area. They called for
positive action by the Legislature to guarantee residents
of the area proper roadWays. It was Senator Ottley's sug-
'gestion to earnark monies in thes"Special Road Fund for

return herewith, without approval, Bill No. 928, to
provide a pension of $4,000 per month for the widow and
children Of Jacob Henley, deceased, a former employee of
the Department Of Public Works.
Jacob Henley was receiving a pension Of 5000 per
month at the time Of his death. This pension would have
been increased to $50 by general legislation enacted after
his death.
It appears that there is no provision Of existing law
under which this beneficiary could have received a por-
ton Of the employees pension.
III these circumstances, my only objection to Bill No,
928 Isl that it transfers Mr.. Henley's full pension to his
beneficiary! This is not good practice. shall be willing to
sign the bill intoflaw if it were passed again with a pension
of not more than two thirds of $50 or a pension OF $4,000
per month.

My dear Mr. President;
/ return herewith, without approval, Bill No. 929, to
provide a pension Of $500 per month for the widow and
children Of Bingley Richardson, deceased, an employee of
the Department Of Health at the timeSof his death.
Under local retirement laws, Mr.. Richardson's an
nuity would have been 500 per month when he reached
retirement age.
It appears that there is no provision of law for any
annuity for Mrs. Richardson's beneficiary. She, however,
received a refund of his retirement deductions.
In the circumstances, 4 believe that there is ~justi1ca-
ton for some relief for this former employees family. I
shall be willing to sign this Bill into law if it were passed
again with a pension of not more than two thirds of
$4,000 or $4,000 per month.

instances in Ohio history where
this has happened.
Re-nominated for council last
August, he was elevated to mayor
when Donald Barber was killed
in an airplane accident. The
death of Barber made it possible
to nominate Mr.. Snodgrass to
take his place, but state election
officials ruled that his name
could not be taken from the bal
