How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Check Unnecessary Blindness!
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

If you are over 40 you owe
1t to yourself to have routine
checkups on the pressure in
your eyes. There is a mistaken
impression that glaucoma
(which produces increased in
traorbital pressure) always
gives warning symptoms. This
Is not true.
IN THEiACUTE congestive
type of the disease there is
usually an episode Of eye
pain, Inflammation, nauseau
and vomiting. But in chronic,
open-angle laucoma the
pressure builds up slowly and
may go about destroying your
vision without so much as
lighting one red flare of
warning.
Usually all you get as
symptoms are mild headaches
and a dissatisfaction with
your glasses. You keep chang
ing them, hoping that you will
see better, but the improve
ment doesn't come.
The most important test in
detecting glaucoma is the
tonometer test. 1t is painless
and easily performed in a few
minutes.
The next time you have
your complete physical do not
consider it a complete" ex-
animation if your doctor
doesn't test your eye pressure.
Ask for it. If he's too busy
that day, make an appoint
ment to come back.
About $4,000 Americans are
blind because of undecided
and untreat tie d glaucoma.
Many times that number are
blind in one eye. Early and
persistent treatment can pre-
vent blindness. If medical
management becomes ineffec-
tive, there is always operation
to fall back on.

I have been reading an in
teresting report about the
smoking habits Of about 20, 900
teen-agers that was conduct
ed recently in Portland. Greg,
by the American Cancer So
ciety. About one-fourth of the
boys and more than one
eighth of the girls smoke reg
ularly. The percentage is
highest among the children of
families in which both par
ents smoke.
There is a greater chance
Of the girl smoking If her
mother does; likewise with
the sons and their fathers. It
was also found that a higher
proportion of smokers was
found among students who
were enthusiastically behind the
others.
1t is surprising to me, con-
sidering all the putting that

the effects Of his cocktails.
Then he wakes up and is
ready to start all over.
Several times I've made
up my mind to give up drink
ing but Mike doesn't like that
either. He says it gives peo-
pie the impression that I'm
an alcoholic.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is characteristic of the
alcoholic to deny that the
problem exists for him, yet
to continue drinking to ex-
cess. According to Alcoholics
Anonymous, the first step
toward recovery involves the
recognition that there Is a
problem.
1t is time for both Mike
and Marie to stop blaming
one another and acknowledge
that each Of them has a
battle to fight. A first step
might be to locate an Alco-
holics Anonymous unit in
their community. The AS
owe it to themselves to get
real information about alco-
holism.
AS a result of what they
learn, the AS will probably
see there is an urgent need
to break their close ties with
a drinking crowd.
Excessive drinking may be
a substitute for many things
an interest in life, genuine
social enjoyment and the
courage to do something to
improve life, to name a few.
One way Of escaping this
substitute satisfaction is to
find some real ones.

WHY DO WOMEN live
longer? There have been doz-
ems of reasons banded about.
Here is the latest:
Men die younger than
women because they are less
able to disclose their real
feelings. In other words, they
aren't natural - they aren't
themselves. AS a result these
inner stresses bring on early
illness.

What has BLOCKED this elementary pro-
vision of civil rights to District citizens?
An answer to this question is hard to
find. For the simple fact is that there has
been no single point of opposition during
the seven decades over which the campaign
has been waged. The best that can be done.
therefore, is to cite several factors which
are suggested from a reading of the long
record Of congressional hearings on the
question. They are:
l. Inertia. There simply has not been
enough interest and concern with the
denial of District citizenship rights by
members of Congress in the past to do any
thing about them.
