As these Dogwood trees grow

be reminded of this very un.
usual and wonderful friendship
between towns. 1 hope, that
the roses from Pinneberg in

as much at home and will tell
in the same way something of
our friendship and respect for
Rockville and all of her citizens.
The Town Parliament of Pin

March 25, 1860, greeted with
great joy the resolution of the
Mayor and Council of Rockville
from February 16, 1860, and the
present from Rockville, the
Dogwood trees which were
brought to us by Mr.. Farquhar.
By unanimous resolution, which
was personally signed by our
President of the Town Council,
Mr.. Wulf, Mayor Glissmann
and all of the % town repre-
sentatives, we heartily thank
the citizens of our Sister City,
Rockville. l hope, that this
document has by now arrived
at the Council of the City of
Rockville.
During that same session at
which many citizens of Pinne-
berg were present, Town Coun-
cilor Wulf gave comprehen-
sive review of the partnership
relations between our cities. He
opened his speech with the res
olution of the Pinneberg Town
Council on July 10, 1857, to es-
tablish such an association and
continued his review up to the
student exchange which is
planned for this year. Wulf
also mentioned former Mayor
Hovsepian's visit to Pinneberg
and the delivery of the constitu-
tional document to Mayor Gliss-

After a very dry March we
now have typical April weather,
with sunshine and rain, storms
and hailstorms which announce
the beginning of spring here in
North Germany. 1t is just the
right time to plant in Pinneberg
soil (which now begins to green
and bloom) the Is Dogwood
trees (Cornus Florida) the gra-
cious present of our Sister City
which Mr.. Farquhar presented
to us on his visit.
The Dogwood trees from
Rockville have been planted in
many parts of our town. They
are taking root in our "Rose

ton of the Town Parliament
and the declaration of the Pres

pressed their special joy and
satisfaction in being able to par

In that same session the
Town Parliament of Pinneberg
passed the budget for 1860,
which is balanced at about S1.4
million. The councilmen also
discussed long and vehemently
the possible necessity of closing
the hardly visited Kindergarten
which requires yearly support
of $4,000 marks and commend
the boys and girls to the at
tention of Pinneberg's two
modern and well supervised
Kindergardens of the Lutheran
and Catholic churches. A spe-
cial board has been elected and
will examine this problem and
advise the Town Council of its
conclusions.
Big events are to take place
in Germany. Next year the

STOP
KILLING
YOURSELF
By PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: How
does one go about getting a
consultation? We have con-
fidence in our family doctor
who is treating my husband
for a coronary attack. But
I'd feel better in my own
mind having the opinion of
a heart specialist. Just what
do I do? Sincerely, Mrs. D.,
New York.
YOU SIMPLY ASK for it.
If you think your doctor is
overly sensitive, tell him
what you have told me: That
you trust his ability. but are
willing to go to the added
expense just to be sure that
everything possible is being
done for your husband.
If he is the kind of family
doctor and adviser most are,
he will pat you on the back
and say: "of course, I un-
derstand. I'll get in touch
with a good heart man right
away"
But I must admit that
there are still a few doctors
very few who feel insulted
when you suggest consulta-
ton. Their feelings are hurt.
They think that you doubt
their medical ability.
Some will therefore say:
Il see no need for having a
consultant. I have every
thing under control. You'll
only be wasting your money"
Nevertheless, insist that
you want one only for your
peace of mind. If he still re-
fuses, I think such a man
shows poor Judgment. 1t
means that he thinks he
can't possibly make a mis-
take-elther in diagnosis or
in treatment.
l would not like to have a
"cocky" man treating me.
You will find that the best
doctors are those who know
their own limitations. They
are easy to approach and be
with. You would have no
more trouble getting them to
call in a consultant than
asking them for a match.
OF course. there's limit
to the number of conSulta-
tions one needs. After your
doctor has called in one or
two doctors, don't go asking
for more. When that hap
pens, you are really hurting
the patient rather than help
ing. Like having too many
cooks in the kitchen.
y *
HOW BIG are your doc
tors ears? Is he patient? Is
he a good listener? What
ever your complaint, however
great the reputation of the
doctor nothing is more i'm
portant than a doctor who
takes the time to listen pa
tiently while you unburdeu
yourself with talk.
Speaking of big ears, hus-
bands and wives should have
them, too-eSpecially wives.
A man is sometimes blunt
with his wife because he has
been unable to get a word in
the other way-edgewise.
Many a mans ulcer, high
blood pressure or heart dis
ease would improve if he
could easily unburden him
self to his wife of his built-in
pressures that he takes home
from his business. In fact,
good listening might prevent
them in the first place.
