The names of the 20 organi-

the project along with that of
the local sponsor at the Wash
ington planning session have not
been disclosed. Griffin said yes
terday he did not have the
names of the helping organi-

later.
Some of the centers may open
ahead of others. Griffin indicat-
ed. He declined to say in what
section of the county the first
might be opened. There is no
PLAN to name the centers. In
steady they will be numbered.
In first announcing the estab-
lishment of plans for the centers
Griffin made point of the fact
that they would in no sense be
schools. At that time he said,
1t is not a private school. it's
strictly morale builder" Since
the centers will not be schools
only records of attendance will
be needed.
The exact procedure of enroll
ment in the centerS has not
been disclosed. Griffin said
recently one plan would be to
have mass meetings of parents
interested in having their chill
dren attend the centers. Re-
medal work in reading and
mathematics and a program of
recreation will be included in
the program when it begins.

First Notice Of Plans
The first notice of the school
foundations plans to construct
permanent facilities for the
upper schools by the beginning
OF the session in September,
1860, came about the middle Of
January. At that time the foun-
dation said it had no further in
terest in acquiring Farmville
High School property after the
school board turned down a re-
Quest to use its power and de-
clare the vacant school surplus
property and offer it for sale.
The school board ruled that a
referendum should be held to
determine whether the high
school should be offered for sale.
An unexpected move by a
member of the school board at
its meeting last week brought
up the question of selling the
high school property again. In
a vote on the question, a 3 to
3 deadlock among members Of
the board resulted. A tie-break-
er decision was ruled out be-
cause the motion to reconsider
The sale needed a majority to
pass.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
been having hot flashes for
years. My doctor didn't be-
lieve in prescribing hormones.
Finally, I went to another
doctor. He has given me es-
trogens, and I feel like a new
woman. I can't understand
why the first one was so stub
born. Mrs. G., Indiana.
1 DON'T THINK he was
stubborn. 1t is just that
there are still some doctors
who think that there is dam
ger of possible cancer in peo-
pie who take these hormones.
Ihave never been convinced
that this is true-either by
personal experience. or in
reading the medical literature
on the subject. I believe every
uncomfortable woman is en-
titled to estrogen treatment
in addition to Sedatives. Un-
less. of course, there are dis
tinct contraindications.
More and more doctors are
coming around to the belief
that we should take advan-
tage of the relief such hor-
mones offer. Why allow q
woman to suffer unnecessari-
ly for months or years when
a little pill taken daily, will
relieve her?
In a recent series. SO out of
81 women were treated sue

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Should He Become q Doctor?
BY DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: If
you had it to do all over
again, would you choose to
be a doctor? Our son is
thinking of taking up medi-
cine. Mr.. S., Chicago.
EACH ONE MUST speak
for himself. I can't make the
decision for your son.
AS for myself, I have been
in practice as an internist
and heart specialist for about
25 years. I have considered
1t a privilege to have spent
so great a part of my life
in medicine.
Knowing what I know now
about the practice of medi-
cine, if I were starting over
and had the chance again
I'D grab it and offer up a
prayer of thanks.
The work is hard, the days
and nights trying. But in no
other field of human en-
deavor are you so privileged
to be your brothers. keeper"
The good doctor is minis
ter, father, lawyer, family
friend and adviser-all rolled
into one. He lives at least
three lifetimes in his short
1890 years.
Like no other. he comes
daily in hand-to-hand en-
counter with life and all Of
its problems. When the aver
age doctor closes his eyes at
the end of a long practice,
he can feel that he has led
q life of fulfillment.
Mind you, I am not saying,
that the doctor is more i'm
portant than the lawyer, the
man Of God; or the shoe
maker. In a roundabout way,
I have been trying to tell
you that we pass this way
but once" If you do so as a
doctor, you live life to the
full.

and their families in every
way possible. I have little
money. but I gave them ad-
vice and encouragement and
helped them with their prob
lens.
Imagine how I felt when
one of my sisters-in-law got
drunk at a family party and
called me a busybody and a
meddlesome old maid! I
could have died. If that's the
way they feel I want moth
ing more to do with any Of
them.
Lillian K.-I have often
tried . to tell Bertha that
sometimes she says and does
things people resent. She
has a good heart, but nobody
likes to be told of. Bertha
tells us all of regularly.
We sisters and brothers
are used to Bertha's ways,
but our husbands and the
sisters-in-law get sore. The
one who spoke up has always
had it in for Bertha because
at one time she urged our
brother to leave her because
of her alcoholism. She is a
bad lot and shouldn't have
said what she did. But that
is no reason for Bertha to
take it out on all of US.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Bertha's sisters and BROTH
ers have kept friendly with
her throughout the years
although they have, at times,
been annoyed with the
things she has said. This
is proof enough that there
is a great deal of affection
and loyalty in the family.
That Bertha jumped to the
conclusion that the whole
family considers her a busy
body is a fair indication this
is her underlying suspicion
about herself. Although her
motives may have been good,
she has to some extent
played a meddlesome role.
Psychologists find that in
dividuals who are troubled
with feelings of inferiority
often gain a momentary
feeling of power or superb
ority when they influence or
try to influence the lives of
others.
Instead Of drawing away
from her brothers and sis
ters in anger, Bertha would
do them and herself q serv-
ice by setting to work at en-
larging her horizons. Pos
sibly she can fine some cause
that interests her and is cry
ing for her services.
