FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

CORRECTION: For a
number of years, Drama
Critic Alexander Woollcott
belonged to a poker club
which met regularly every
Saturday night. One Satur-
day. one of the members
brought along a friend.
Hes OK" the member
told Woollcott. Hes got a
ton of money and he's a be-
ginner."
After a few hands had
been dealt, it became evi-
dent that the newcomer was
no beginner, but an expert
at the game. When the ses-
sion ended. he was ahead
$500.
Woollcott, suspecting that
he and his cronies had been
taken by a card shark, de-
cided to check on the man.
He wrote to a leading credit
agency for information. BY
return mail, he was informed
that the man was worth
$50 million.
Woollcott was ashamed Of
himself for having harbored
such a nasty suspicion. To
make amends, he sent an
other letter to the credit
agency.
This is to advise you," he
wrote, that Mr.. - Is now
worth $50,OO0,500."

DEAR ABBY
Good Behavior Can Solve This
By ABIGAIL VAN sUREN

DEAR ABBY: I am q jun
ior in high school and I came
home with a bad report card
last month. My parents cut
of all my enjoyments. No
sorority Tuesday night. No
basketball games Saturday
mornings, and no dating
Friday and Saturday nights.
They make me stay home and
study all the time.
And they won't let me 60
out until my next good report
card. The next card doesn't
come out for two months.
Abby, I can't keep my mind
on my studies when I think
of all the fun I'm missing.
What should I do?

you'll be "a prisoner" serving

DEAR ABBY: Don't be too
hard on the Korean girls of
easy virtue. The Korean
girls are hungry, affectionate
and pathetically poor. They
are lucky if they eat four
times a week. Is it any WON

slave to an American soldier

Yes, there are many Korean
babies born to these girls and
American soldiers. But the
babies can't help it if their
IatnerS go OH and forget
about them. Those half
Korean babies are the sweet

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Distrought? Go Easy on 'Crutch'
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

"CAN YOU GIVE ME
some phenobarbital for my
nerves?" This, and similar
requests, are heard by doc
tors hundreds of times every
day throughout the United
States.
If patients are not asking
for barbiturates, they are
asking for tranquilizers. Be-
deviled by anxiety, worry,
distress-they naturally look
to their doctor to supply the
crutches until they can walk
without support.
Readers will recall that I
have often written that I am
in favor of prescribing tenn
porary help for the patient
who is under great emotional
stress. But I have always
emphasized that the patient
who takes sedatives should
realize that he deals with
potential danger. Although
such medicines aren't dope
in the usual sense Of the
word, they can bring tragedy.
For example, here is re-
port in the Journal Of the
American Medical AsSocia-
tion about a study conducted
by DR.. E. Kass and coworkerS
in Norway. They reported on
a series of 207 cases of drug
poisoning. Of these, 81
women and 56 men had taken
barbiturates in toxic amounts
and 81 were associated with
alcohol poisoning. Seven pa
tients died.
The authors concluded
"that barbiturates are the
most common source Of drug
addiction in patients coming
under m e dical treatment,
that other drugs should re-
place them in the treatment
of insomnia, and that spe-
cial care should be taken not
to prescribe barbiturates for
alcoholics"
PLAY SAFE. Don't hesi-
tate to take Sedatives and
sleeping pills as prescribed
by your doctor. They have
their indications and may
help you a lot. But as I have
said before, NEVER, NEVER.
bootleg them. And NEVER
take more at one time than
prescribed.
If everyone would bear
these last two admonitions in
mind, Especially chronic al
coholics) barbiturate poison
ing would soon dwindle as an
important problem in medi-
cine,

little book called THE Fun
