FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

INSULT: Edgar Guest, the
late poet, began his news
paper career on the Detroit
Free Press a few years be-
fore the turn of the century.
Some 40 years later. during
the depression, he was max
ing a princely income from
his syndicated feature. He
still appeared in the Free
Press which was one of his
many subscribers. and was
paid a modest stipend.
His son was also working
for the Free Press as a re-
porter. One day, when the
younger Guest received his
pay check, he noticed that it
was for an unusually small
amount.
Look at this check" he
explained to his father.
This is an INSULT"
The elder Guest, whose in
come ran into six figures,
took a look.

DEAR ABBY: I read the
letter in your column from
the mother who was tired Of
picking up after her 18-year-
old daughter who kept her
room a mess. You told her to
quit nagging the girl about
it, to close the door to her
bedroom and let her wade
around in the mess until it
became so hopelessly incon-
venient that the girl would
decide to clean it up herself.
Having the identical problem
myself, I followed your ad-
vice, Abby. I could kiss you!
After living in complete dis
order for six weeks, my
daughter "lost" two shoes
unrelated), four belts, three
sweaters, a book and her
good evening purse. I went
into my room and laughed
until I cried because she
spent all day Saturday clean
ing up her room. Thanks a
million.

How to i
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Can Grief Cause Death?
By DR.. PETER J. STElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is it,
possible to die of grief? An
apparently healthy friend of
mine was informed that his
only son was involved in an
auto accident. I drove him to
the scene. His boy was dead.
My friend collapsed. We
brought him home and he
died within three hours. I
said 1t was due to grief but
people laughed it of as a
cause. What do you think?
Sincerely, Mr.. o., New Jer-
sey.
EMOTIONS EXERT pow
erful effects on the body.
1t is my opinion-not based
on scientific proof. but on
practical experience and OBJ
servation-that grief, being
b !powerfSilN emotion, can kill
a person who is unable to
adjust to sudden emotional
shock. :
I have seen people die
under similar circumstances
as you mention, but the cause
of death was always listed ast
a stroke or a coronary at
tack-no mention being made
of grief as a possible contrib
uting cause. I can't prove
it, but show me that doctor
who can diSprove it. Sudden,
acute, overpowering grief
can release mortal changes
in the glands and other
organs of the body. The sud-
den pallor, bounding pulse.
fall in blood pressure and
sudden faint don't just come
from nowhere.
You will be interested In
the remarks DR.. George L.
Engel, associate professor of
psychiatry Of the University
of Rochester School of Medi-
cine, made recently before
the American Psychsomatic
Association meeting in Mon
treal. He said that in the
medical profession the state
ment is often heard: mo one
ever dies of grief" He goes
on to say: But is it true?"
"The newspapers repeated
ly report persons collapSing
and dying soon after learn
ing of the death of a loved
person. Have these cases
been so carefully studied that
we can say that the death
represented pure coincidence,
that the shock phase of the
grief contributed in no way
to this fatal outcome?"
I like to keep an open
mind and not laugh anything
off. Although we don't have
the actual scientific proof

now, I won't be surprised to
be hearing about it within
the next few years.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Don't
you think that we should be
doing something about the
fumes from auto exhausts?
] think they are a menace
to health.-Mrs. j., Ohio.
WE MAY HAVE. good rea-
son to feel uncomfortable
and fearful when we are
caught in traffic behind buses
and cars spewing forth their
obnoxious fumes. as I've said
before. I am happy to re-
port that something is being
done about it. I understand
that the United States Health
Service is to make a study of
the effect on health Of the
automobile exhaust. But
you'll have to wait about two
years before the Surgeon
General is able to submit his
full report to Congress.

! lDear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
a nervous wreck. I wager
there isn't one of your read
erS who is nervous for a
similar reason. I have been
trying to write a novel that
a publisher will accept. This
has been going on for years.
But no luck. Do you have
any advice except prescribing
sedatives?-Mrs. X, Mass.

running around having fun.
This year I want a vacation
from music. I want a chance
to go in for sports and other
activities.
My parents hit the roof
when I told them. They want
me to make a career of
music. I am also very in
terested in science and I
don't know yet just what I
want to do. I'm sick of prac-
ticing and sick of being
forced to play for company.
Mrs. L. Jimmy has
been hearing things about
cruel parents who want their
children to be prodigies. We
never wanted anything like
that. He started responding
to music at an early age and
showed an interest in the
violin when we visited the
home of a friend, so we let
him take lessons.
He proved to be very good
at it and at first loved to
practice. His teacher feels
he has a lot of talent and can
go far-but he must work.
Losing a year will set him
back.
Jimmy has reached the
stage where he only wants to
be just like the other kids.
He doesn't realize that in a
short time he'll be happy to
have a talent that makes him
outstanding.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There is a time for every
thing and we don't think
Jimmy is wrong to choose
this period of his life as the
time for being lust like the
other kids" He'll change his
mind later, but right now
being one of the gang is i'm
portant.
We don't believe that any
youngster can really be
forced to do outstanding
work in a field If he doesn't
want to. His parents may
pressure him into taking les
sons and practicing, but un-
less his inner mechanism is
focused on the goal, his re-
sistance will show up in
some form.
Perhaps Jimmy's resistance
is rooted to a great extent
in his parents high hopes for
him-and even in his own
ambitions for himself. Chill
dren with great ability some
times have equally great fear
Of failure.
Jimmy's interest in science
and sports are good signs
They will help him develop
into a whole human being
rather than a mechanism for
performing. When he feels
whole and secure, his innate
love of music will again assert
itself.

across the country think a
businessman doesn't need to
have another job after he is
retired. They have told me
so-in the main, nicely-as
a result of a column in which
I advised men facing retire
ment to find some work to do.
These people have found
their own Golden Years with
out a retirement job. And
they sing with a sweet voice
in the chorus of all those
coming up to age 65. Out
numbered, and unrepresenta-
tive Of any but a few fortu-
nate men. But sweet.
1t is a voice that should be
heard:
Paul E. Tune of Hurst, III.
II cannot agree with your
line of thinking that a re-
tired man cannot be content
unless he has found another
job.
Planned Activities
II am past SO and have
been retired IL months. I
planned for this several years
before I retired, and having
another job was no part of
my plans.

II have a garden, and my
wife and I can vegetables and

around the house, and fish
and hunt in season. I read
two daily newspapers, two

zines every month, three 9TH

How anyone could be idle
after retirement I don't
know"
Mr.. Tune was a locomotive
engineer.
M. D. Mcleod, Bass Lake,
Calif.-"You say a business
man cannot really quit. I
can't agree with that. I was a
businessman, and I quit flat

improve the cabin we moved
to.
Il looked forward to the
change for years with a great
deal of pleasure, and after
nine years of retirement I
know it was no mistake.
These have been the hap
piest years of my life.
Perhaps for a neurotic,
retirement can be quite un-
successful. That sort of per-
son, all tied up with the
stress Of business, is the
least able to cope with the
change, and most often
makes a failure of it.
Many Are Happy
Il can name many retired
persons who are living their
lives as they want to live
them, who are happy and
content. But these are peo-
pie who looked ahead and
provided all the things that
are necessary. Mostly they
are of placid natures, and
nature lovers at heart.

Etno Quiets Down
After Eruption

CATANIE, Sicily, Aug. 6
AP).-Mount Etna quieted
down somewhat today after a
spectacular new eruption last
night.
For three hours explosions
came at the rate of five a min
ute. Then the 1O,7O5-foot VOL
cano, Europe's most active,
merely rumbled and smoked.
Catania Institute of Vulca-
nology experts said Etna was
just Kidding itself of excess gas
"a tumultuous degasification
with the formation of a great
mushroom cloud"
The eruption last night was
spectacular. Ashes and red hot
rocks were thrown half a mile
into the air, some landing on
