There are millions of win

home of successful actors.
On the north side of the 25th
floor, the curtains peel back
from one of the windows. A
pair of large, dark eyes look
out on New York, a misty
mountain of sawtooth build

The eyes belong to Mar

She was an only child, She

MISS PIAZZA grew up in

father was an engineer. He
was killed when she was 3.
Her grandparents had been

They had money. The girl
had an overly proper up

She went from Our Lady of

DEAR DIR. STEINCRoHN

DEAR DR.. STEINCROHN:
My husband, Sc, has angina
pectoris. The doctor told him
yesterday, What do you con-
slider the most important part
of the treatment?
IN A GENERAL WAY I be-
lieve the following measures
are important: adequate rest,
a low-fat diet, an overall low
calorie diet to keep the weight
normal, no tobacco, an ounce
or two of alcohol daily in
these cases not we'll controlled
by drugs such as nitro
glycerine, and avoidance Of
emotional stress.
The most important part Of
the treatment is this: the
patients willingness to live
the kind of life which angina
pectoris requires. In other
words, to be willing to go
through life at 30 miles an
hour even though you have
been used to speeding
through 1t at so.

/ SUGGEST that you write

citation, "A East 23d street.
New York 10, N. Y, and ask
that they send you their new
booklet called Strokes "a
Guide for the Family"
This excellent booklet will
give you many practical,
workable suggestions. Here
are few quotes from it:
Even severely paralyzed
stroke patients may make re-
markable progress toward be-
coming self-Sufficient."
The patient must have the
will to recover and the desire
to be independent. Here the
family can help by encour-
aging the disabled person,
showing confidence in his
improvement, and also by
permitting him to help him
self as much as possible"
"A person may have a series
of little strokes and then a
big stroke, or he may have a
number of big strokes, or he
may have just one stroke, re-
cuperate and never have
another"
1t points to two notable
examples, Winston Churchill
and the scientist Louis Pas
teur, who did some of his
best work in the q years
after he suffered a severe
stroke.
This booklet tells you what
causes a stroke, how to try
to prevent it, how it is treated

SCHOOL, we ndQ our HTSJ DdDy
within a year and the next
one two years later, so Jean
never had a chance to get
more education.
Well, it happens I've been
lucky enough to be quite
successful in my profession
during the past seven years
and now we are moving in a
circle of rather sophisticated
people. Most of the wives
have had business or profess
sional experience and are
very polished.
The last time ] went with
Jean to social function !
was embarrassed because
she didn't dress nicely or act
the way the other women did.
I don't know anything about
what women do to improve
themselves, but I would like
my sister Eva to help her.
Eva D.-My brother thinks
that just because l happen
to have a little more educa-
ton and some knoW-how
about dress that I am the
ideal person to help Jean. But
the opposite is true. Jean re-
sents me, just as she does all
women who seem to her to
have a few more advantages.
When Gerard married, my
parents warned him that this
would happen. They told him
Jean wasn't the kind of girl
for him and he should wait
another few years and get
on his feet. But he wouldn't
listen to anyone. He got a
job and got married at once.
Now, of course, he has out
grown Jean by a few hundred
miles.
I have never completed
college myself, but I have al
ways done my best to improve
myself by reading and trying
to learn from others. Jean
has made some very snide
remarks to me about my be-
ing a big intellectual" when
ever she sees me reading.
She's very jealous.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Gerard'S problem is a very
delicate one, indeed, and it
doesn't appear that Eva is
the one to help him with it.
Eva could only help if her
relations with Jean were very
close and friendly and Jean
showed a desire to learn from
her. Eva seems to have a dis
agreeable and unreasonable
hostility to Jean and this
makes her the worst possible
teacher.
The fact that Gerard feels
that he is unable to talk to
his wife about these things
is an indication that they
have grown apart in more
ways than one. If they felt
closer emotionally they would
be able to discuss things like
this without fear or shame.
We think that Gerard must
get - know his wife better
in t3rmS Of her thoughts,
feelings and hopes. 1t seems
to us that Jean is now suffer-
ing in a little world of her
own and is deeply hurt by
what she senses is her hus-
bands diSapproval of her.
Gerard must tread very
carefully or Jean will turn
against him in anger or re-
sentiment, He shouldn't criti-
CHE or make suggestions. but
should develop the habit of
giving her plenty of praise
whenever she dresses or be-
HAYES the way he likes.
Gradually she will get the
idea that improving in GER
tain directions will help win
her the affection she Graves
from her husband.
Most important, Gerard
should make it clear that
Jean is tops with him at all
times - regardless of the
sophisticated" wives.

POISON: When Educator
Nicholas Murray Butler was
a student at college, he had
q pail of milk delivered every
morning to his door.
On several occasions, when
he returned to his room after
class, the milk was gone
Suspecting a prank, he waited
one morning until the milk
man appeared, then attached
a note to the pail,
Caution! I have poisoned
this milk with arsenic it
read.
Upon his return from class
he observed with satisfaction
that the milk was still in the
pail. But added to his own
note we're to words;
so have we.

Top salaries. they insisted,

They wanted to know why
some sort Of merit pay plan
had not been included in the
new salary schedule.
1T does something to my
sense Of propriety to give in

alone" said Walter N To-
briner, board president.
He added, "As we approach

Titled to exact high professional
standards"
S9,100 Maximum
The proposed raises would
give a maximum salary of So
100 to teachers with masters
degrees, plus 80 credit hours,
after 20 years of service.
Wesley s. Williams asked if
there shouldn't be some pay
advantage for teachers "who
do a job. rather than Just
spending a day in school,"
Col. West A. Hamilton noted
that there isn't now and
wouldn't be under DR.. Hansen's
plan-any pay difference be-
tween the finest and the worst
teacher in the city.
During the discussion, mem
bers also criticized what theyl
felt were some weaknesses in
the school system.
Mrs. Ruth B. Spencer noted
that teachers would never go
along with a merit plan unless
they had more confidence in
supervisory personnel who
judge their ability

Calling current evaluation

sonal, she said supervisors
'have a tendency to do a lot
Of snoopervision" without help
ing teachers to improve their
performance.
Mr.. Tobriner observed that
the wedding out of bad teach
erS does not take place now
because the system suffers from
"too much inertia"
And when DR.. Hansen said
he opposed merit plans because
those who don't get the in
creases become "second-claSS
teachers" Mr.. Williams urged
him to issue a directive remind
ing all school employees that
they are part Of q team.
He told the superintendent
he was "very much disturbed"
by the actions of some person.

ties which are "far from what
they should be doing"
Similar Plans
Except for the longevity in
creases, the pay scale proposed
by DR.. Hansen is virtually iden-
tical with the one approved by
the board last year. Only half
Of that boost, however. was ap-
proved by Congress.
The lengthy debate yesterday

ture Of the current recon-

entire scale is expected to get
particularly from the District
Commissioners and Congress.
Board members ended their
discussion for the day after DR..
Hansen promised to prepare an
analysis of the advantages and
disadvantages Of a merit pay
plan. They also decided to hold
a public hearing on the pay
raises at 2:30 pm. next Tues
day.
The superintendent told them
he hopes his recommendation
will be ready for submission to
the District Commissioners and
Congress by late December OF

Amid the quiet Of a beauti-
full autumn day, Gen. George
C. Marshall was buried yester-
day in Arlington Cemetery
with the simplicity he desired.
Only the honorary pallbear-

were present for the last mill

the sounding of taps. =
But the final honor came af-
