How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Marital Problem Solution
By Or. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

L RECEIVE SCORES OF
letters every week from hus-
bands and wives-and often
from teen-agerS-concerning
the unhappy aspects of their
family life. Often divorce is
the only answer-but not the
solution. More often, these
intensely nervous and resent
full partners "fill up" on tram
quilizers and sedatives SO as
to be able to bear their prob
lens.
I'm staying put for the
sake Of my children" said
one man, the husband of an
alcoholic.
Another: His outbursts Of
temper are getting to be un-
bearable after 16 years Of
marriage. But I'm sticking it
out because I haven't the
nerve to confess our marriage
failure to our friends"
And another: "He keeps
picking on our teen-agers
until he's practically driving
them out Of their minds. I'd
leave him tomorrow-if I
didn't feel it necessary to stay
around with them and pro-
tect them as we'll as I can"
Another: II consider my
self trapped. There's Moth
ing any doctor can do to
help. The choice is up to
me. Either I open the door
and escape. or stay and take
it day after day. Indecision
is killing. I'll be making one
soon"
THE PERSON who said
that "indecision is killing"
has found the pertinent an
swer. If you have what seems
like insurmountable problems
you must come to terms with
yourself. Either you resolve
to stay in" or "get out"
You won't be happy until you
make your decision. In fact,
there's no guarantee. that
you may not be more un-
happy after you make it.
But that's the chance you
have to take. Human beings
aren't built for being torn

apart emotionally day after
day.
If you won't 60 to a mar
riage counselor, be sure to
enlist the help Of your doctor.
Many's the sympathetic and
understanding doctor who
has patched up the leaks in
the family boat" and pre-
vented it from shattering on
the rocks of divorce. Don't
be ashamed to tell him
everything" There's moth
ing he hasn't heard or seen.
Or. perhaps you win be
helped by recalling the we'll
known line of Thoreau:
Most men live lives Of quiet
desperation" For some it's
comforting to know they
have lots of company.
CHEST PAIN doesn't al
ways signify angina pectoris.
1t all depends upon the type,
the history Of the pain, the
physical examination and
the results of chest X-rays
and the electrocardiogram.
I have known many per-
sons who were certain they
had angina. Yet, careful
evaluation showed that the
pains were due to something
else.
For example, muscle sprain,
referred pain from a diseased
gall bladder. arthritis of the
spine, bursitis. shingles and
other forms Of neuritis. The
important thing is to find out
the truth. You may be wor-
rying unnecessarily.

taking a general course which
is really preparatory for COL
lege. The teacher said he
should be switched to a voca-
tional or commercial course.
My wife and I are both
college graduates and we ex-
pected the same for our
children. However, I feel that
we shouldn't try to push the
boy beyond his limits. He is
very nervous and I'm afraid
of what could happen if things
get too rough for him. I think
we ought to take that teach
er's advice.
Geraldine R.-Harold just
worries about pushing Frank
too far. but I'm worried about
what could happen if we tell
him that he isn't college ma
terial and that he'll have to
give up the course his older
sister is taking without. any
difficulty.
I know that Frank isn't a
fast learner. but he's a plug
ger and he wants so much to
go to college. He already
has the school picked out and
has its pennant on his wall.
Harold is always ready to
trust everything to the ex-
perts, but I think parents
know a thing or two about
their own children. Frank
may need a little coaching,
but he'll make it. Plenty of
kids who are no smarter than
he is get through college
these days.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We don't think the course
OF Franks life should be de-
termined on one teachers
say-so. The RS should dis
cuss the problem with other
teachers and the principal.
II Franks academic ability
is really SO poor, the difficulty
should have had a long his
tory. Since he has managed
to keep up with the group so
lar, he probably has strengths
as well as weaknesses in his
studies.
In general. we think it is
more important to help Frank
discover what he can do than,
to tell him what he can't do.
If he finds he has skills-
perhaps musical, perhaps
athletic or technical-his
weak points will be less of a
sore spot with him.
Geraldine shouldn't as
sumo that Frank can't change
his goals simply because he
now seems set on college. 1t
is very likely that he is now
echoing her hopes and plans
for him, but if he finds a big
new interest in life, his atti-
tude might change overnight.
He should set some goal and
should get plenty of encour-
agement in his attempts to
achieve it.

Our Christmas Story
Chapter 2
IN THE BEGINNING

If the Book of Luke gives
us only part Of the Christmas
story, where is the rest of it?
To find the beginning we
have to go back a long way.
The first Christmas khen
Jesus was born in Bethlehem
was almost 1000 years ago,
but we have to go back far
ther than that. We have to
go back before Mary and
Joseph themselves were born.
Back before there was any
town of Bethlehem. Before
there were any towns at all.
Even before there were any
people on the earth. In fact,
so far back that there was
no earth.
There were no stars then,
either. No sun. no sky, no
rain. In those days-except
that there were no days
space was empty. In all the
universe, there was only God
Himself-and the angels.
The Christmas story goes
back that far. In that long
ago, unimaginable time, God
began to make things. He
made things because He was
God. and God loves fullness
better than emptiness.
Made Light First
At first the universe was
dark, so God made the burn
ing stars-our sun among
them-for light. He made
our earth and then He filed
it with wonders. He put
deep oceans and high noun
tainS on it. In the oceans
He put octopuses and giant
fish and creatures so tiny
that only He could see them.
On the mountains He put
goats and He made them
wonderful climbers. In the
valleys He put all sorts of
animals - caterpillars and
parrots and rhinoceroSes.
And. of course, He made
oysters. He made billions
and trillions of creatures and
not one was exactly like
another.
God loved the things He
had made. He loved H.
raindropS and His octopuses
and His daylight. But He
had no children to share
them with Him. On all the
earth, there was no one like
Himself. no one to say, How
beautiful it isl" And no one
to enjoy it with Him.
In the whole earth, no
one to have a conversation
with! God talked to His
creation, of course. He talked
to His flowers with His warm
sunshine and His cool rain.
In every little fish egg He
put a message. telling that
egg how to grow into a fish
instead of a rhinoceros. And
all of His creatures obeyed

So He Made Man
To have a companion on
earth, God needed someone
like Himself So He made one
more creature. He made our
kind of creature and He
made it in His own image.
That is, He copied us after
Himself.
He made two of us, a man
and a woman. The mans
name was Adam and the
woman'S name was Eve.
AS soon as He had made
them, God loved them more
than all the other creatures
He had made. He wanted to
shower them with gifts. He
gave them all His cows and
His fish and His beeS-yes.
and His oysters, too. Every
animal on the whole earth
and in a'l the oceans He gave
70 Adam and Eve. He gave
them all His trees and plants.
From the tallest date palm
to the flattest mushroom,
they were all for Adam and
Fvo
Then He found the most
beautiful spot on earth for
thorn tn live in. It was named
Eden ard it was so beautiful
II was colled a garden. in the
Gard"n of Eden God put
everything that Adam and
Eve needed to make them
hapDv. There we're rivers of
clear water to drink, fruit to
ost. vines to swing on, flowers
to smell.
No Enemies There
They didn't need spears, or
any kind Of weapon. because
they had no enemies. There
were no wild animals in those
days. either. Lions and bears
and hyeras came when Adam
called them because they
knew they belonged to him.
Adam and Eve didn't need
a house to live in or warm
clothes to wear because it
was never cold in Eden. and
God kept the wind and the
rain off them.
They didn't need a stove or
an icebox or even pans to
cook with. since all the food
they wanted grew on the
trees for them. And they GER
tainly didn't need money,
since God had already given
them everything.
God watched the two
people He had made, and He
loved them. He was delighted
when Eve picked the flowers
and gave them pretty names
and put them in her hair.
She loves My flowers! God
thought.
He liked to see Adam str0ke
the lions and the buffaloes
and call them wonderful and
handsome and marvellous.
Best of all, He liked to hear
Adam and Eve say, "All these
things were made by Godp
Loved Their Work
For work, God gave them
the care of His beautiful
garden. Adam and Eve loved
their work. All morning they
pruned the trees and dug the
earth until it was soft around
the flowers. Then, when their
work was finished, they
would run with the antelope,
swim with the otter, sing
with the oriole. Best of all,
