Virgin Islonds Scores
Victory in New York
Aided BY a 4th round foul,
Welterweight Emile Griffith,
Of St. Thomas, Virgin Is
lands, again outpointed Jorge
Fernandez of Argentina Mon
day night at Madison Square
Garden, New York.
Griffith, $50 lbs, one and a
half pounds more than his
opponent, took the unanimous
decision when all three ring
officials favored him on a
round basis, Sal. The crowd
of $500 made no threatening
protest over Griffith's victory,
although after their first fight
at st. Nicholas Arena on
June 3, the fans there staged
a semi riot and threw chairs
and refuse into the ring as a
protest against the split deci-
sion fayoring Griffith.
Griffith was helped when
Fernandez was penalized in
the fourth round for low
blows. y
Griffith, %, won his 18th
victory in q fights, For Fer
nandez, "a, it was his fifth
defeat in rs fights.
Writing about the Griffith
Fernandez bout prior to the battle

York Times, had this to say:

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
ACose of Too Little Sleep
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
writing concerning my hus-
band. He is "a years old and
after five years Of marriage
and two children. has decided
to get q college education.
He is very intelligent and
I think it is a wonderful idea.
He has a very good evening
job with seniority and he
hates to give it up so he goes
to school and works full
time.
AS a result, all in all, he
gets only about three hours
Of sleep at night. Only one
night a week can he sleep
all night. He is real tired by
the end Of the week. I keep
him taking vitamins. He eats
well and has gained weight.
Do you think this is too
much strain on him? Do you
think this will impair his
future health? I would be
grateful for your opinion.
Sincerely, Mrs. w., Califor-
mia.
WILLINGNESS to work
hard, combined with intelli-
gence, are two Of the essen
tial attributes for success.
Your husband seems to have
these in good measure.
You make it difficult for
me to dash cold water on his
plans for the future. How
ever, I think you will agree
that one does not have to
have an MD. after his name
to arrive at this conclusion:
Your husband, in defying the
laws of nature is gambling
with his future health.
Eating well and taking
vitamins are not fit Substi-
tutes for a good nights sleep.
You say he is "real tired" by
the end of the week. No
wonder! Soon he will be
tired every day. Fatigue, like
pain, can be a warning
symptom Of serious illness in
the off1ng.
I don't know just how he
can make the adjustment in
working hours so he can still
get his college education.
But make it he must. Or
shall I say-he should. Good
health outweighs every other
consideration.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
mother is 81. She has al
ways been afraid. Afraid to
be alone, afraid to go to
sleep.
Each time one of her chill
dren married she had a long
period Of depression and our
mates were not good enough
for us. She struggled to give
us a college education. We
were well dressed and well
fed-but our Dad led a hen
pecked dogs life. She was
never concerned about his
welfare and did not remain
at his bedside while he was
dying.
The doctors, including a
pSychiatrist, say she has
hardening of arteries and
does not get the proper supply
Of oxygen to her brain.
Now she doesn't seem to
care for any of her children
any more. She won't let us
sleep, day or night. '

Automobile drivers show
their personalities in the way
they handle a car. The old
man who is overcautious
swings too far to the left to
avoid a parked car and ends
up in the wrong lane. The
boy trying to impress his girl
passes on the shoulder of
the road, throwing gravel
behind. The man who is mad
at the world gets in the speed
lane and refuses to move.
It has always been like
this, except that today, with
67.5 million cars and trucks
on the road, it is more no.
ticeable and more dangerous.
At night, from a plane, our
highways look like rivers of
bright lava. By day, scores

where wink cars to a stop,
and start them with another
wink. Eight-lane superhigh-
ways pour people and mer-
chandise in and out of States
at so miles per hour, spinning
them on and of in huge
cloverleafs. The credo Of
many drivers is not do unto
others" but do it to him
before he does it to you"
This philosophy kills about
$4,000 motorists each year.
This is a little more than the
entire population of Beverly
Hills, Calf. They die in
many ways-instantly, slowly,
consciously, unconsciously, in
agony, in flames, some beg
ging for help some begging
for death.
About IA million - more
than the combined popula-
tions of Dallas and Fort
Worth - manage to live
through these accidents each
year. They are SCARED,
patched, lame, partly blind,
and some are under medical
treatment for years. OF
these, 10000 never recover.

He'll get into an argument

if our friends knocked on

Recently he stalked out Of

his father slapped him. I
guess he shouldn't have done
it in front Of people.

Dificult as it may be to
be patient with a youth like
Bill at this stage, we urge
these parents to make the
effort. The last thing Bill
needs is to be Inundated in
public by his father.
Bills naughty attitude is q
dead giveaway Of lack Of as
Surance. His severe conflict
with his father intensifies his
determination to trust and
like nobody. Yet just beneath
the surface, we envision a
very friendly, warm-hearted
young man.
We suspect that Bill wants
most what he resists most
his fathers friendship. And
very likely, the same Is true
for Mr.. F. r. He is hurt by
his sons hostility. Confused,
he strikes out against him,

Mr.. Deputy cited the follow
ing as an example: A farmer
with a wheat allotment of II
acres for 1860 produces 20 acres
of wheat. The difference be-
tween the allotment and the
wheat acreage produced = 8
acres-would be considered eX-
cess acres. The 8 acres excess
would be used in determining
the amount of wheat subject to
the marketing quota penalty.
However, if the acreage over Is
is disposed of, the wheat would
not be subject to marketing
quotas.
Farmers who have applied for
the feed wheat provision under
which they may produce as
much as 80 acres of wheat for
use on the farm are not subject
to marketing quota penalties un-
less they produce more than 30
acres.

wheat acreage into compliance
