DEAR ABBY -.
By All Means, Don't Do 1t, Dear!
. .
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

a romance blossomed. Yes,
we were married. We had
two daughters and a son.
! am the only one left of
our family, Abby, and I am
soon to be 81. When i want
a laugh I recall the many
times in our marriage when
I'd get out of line and my
wife would say, Calm down,
Darling, or I'll kick your other
teeth out" Then we were
sweetheartS again.
OLD-TIMER
DEAR ABBY: I am so
mixed up ! don't know what
to do. My parents accuse me
Of everything under the sun.
Things I wouldn't even think
Of doing. If I really did those
things they would kill me,
but / wouldn't mind because
/ wish 1 were dead anyway.
My girl friend and 1 have
been talking about running
away. We are both Is. Don't
tell me to talk to my parents
because they are the reason
l want to leave home. I can't
stand much more of this.
UNHAPPY GIRL.
Children who regard their
parents as "the enemy" are
the saddest, most mistaken
people in the world. II you
can't talk to your parents,
find some one else to talk to.
Isn't there a favOrite relative,
teacher or clergyman in
whom you could cOnfide?
Running away will only COM
p1icate matters. Try to de-
velOp a better relationship
with your parents through
the guidance of an under
standing adult. Your parents
probably can't stand much
more of "this" either.

What's your problem?

Some letters and COM
ments:
"a man facing retirement
should go in advance and pre-.
pare a place for his coming.
IF he is retiring to his
neighborhood home he should
devote at least a year of his
spare time to getting &C
quainted with the people and
activities that fill the day.
time Of his neighborhood .
he knows neither because all
his daytimes have been spent
somewhere else.
IF he is retiring to a dis
tant town he should start
preparing two years away.
He should spend his vaca-
tionS there, take leaves from
his job and spend them there,
get acquainted all over the
place, then correspond with
everybody he's met"
That's good advice. It's
a little like going to bed. You
sleep better If you first turn
the covers down.
Is This Better Word?
"The word Retirement
should be left out of the vo-
cabulary, because invariably
you have a mental picture Of
someone who is old and watt
ing to die. / have coined q
new word for people who are
retired. 1t is 'Annuitized',
and ! think it's better"
Don't you think it sounds
a little like the fellow had
been embalmed?
MY husband has died at
age "a, and I find he had a
life insurance policy with his
company that will pay me
$4,000 in cash. I have a
home and income that will
last me my lifetime, so the
$4,000 is only a problem
to me.

OF course, individuals re-
act differently to stress and
emotional explosions. I have
known a few terrible Terrys"
who were always blowing up
yet lived to an old age.
But better inform your
man that statistics are
against him. If he keeps on
as he has, there's a greater
chance, than not, for him to

reaches so.

Writes Mrs. NJ, Chicago,
ILL.,: MY doctor advises two
tablespoons of mineral oil
taken nightly whenever nee
essary. Can this be harmful
in any way?"
NOT TOO MANY years
ago we advised some patients
to take mineral oil every
night, if necessary. We con-
sidered it a harmless medi-
cine.
Then came some expert
ments which suggested that
when you took too much
mineral oil-due to. coating
the lining of the intestines
it interfered with the nor
NAL absorption of vitamins.
Came the great mineral
oil scare. The pendulum
swung way over-as 1t often
does. People were afraid to
take 1t any more.
1t Is still an effective lubri-
cant. II your doctor tells you
to take it whenever neces-
sary" (Which probably doesn't
mean every night, I see no
harm in it.
If you do have to take
something every night
which I consider a bad habit
to get into-I suggest you al
ternate the mineral oil with
other lubricants your doctor
will suggest.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
What do you suggest as an
emergency measure when a
persons heart stops? Just
what can a bystander do?

ter what anybody does won't

saved by using one or both
OF the following:
l. Pound briskly a few
times on the chest with your
closed fist.
2. Use the "mouth-to-
mouth" technique of artifi,
cial respiration.
According to recent studies
in some cases such artificial
breathing restored the heart
beat before there was time
to open the chest and mas
sage the heart by hand.

How to

YOURSELF
Temper Can Hurt Your Heart
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband is only AZ, but I
think he is heading for an
early heart attack.
"He tells me he is in excel
lent physical condition. He
exercises and keeps his weight
normal. But 1 tell him that
isn't enough.
"He works too hard. He is
very aggressive. And to top
it an. he has a bad temper.
When he goes into one Of
his frequent RACES I'm sure
he's going to have a stroke or
get a heart attack. He tells
me I'm exaggerating. Am I?

YEARS AGO, ONE Of the
great cardiologists of all time,
who suffered from angina.
said his life was at the mercy
of his temper. 1t was proved
a few years later when he
died during an attack in
duced by a temper tantrum.
Better tell your husband
that your fears for his safety
are based upon sound medi-
cal facts. According to Meyer
Friedman of your city, men
Of aggressive behavior pat
terms had "six to eight times"
as much heatr disease as
those with relaxed PERSONAL

He also found that release
Of adrenalin in abnormal
amounts Is often associated
with men who are hard
drivers" This is a powerful
heart stimulator and raises
blood pressure. Some even
think excess adrenalin in

arteries and plays a role in
raising the fat levels in the

But she doesn't have to

THE PROBLEM

Lillian She doesn't pay

Victor ST. won't be tied
to a woman'S apron strings.
THE DETAILS
Lillian S.-My husband
and I are in our early 20s
and have been married less
than a year. I want to make
a go of my marriage, but
I'm afraid I've gotten of to
a poor start.
We quarrel quite a bit.

to him. Sometimes I say
awful things which I later
regret. I've called him the
worst names, but he just
CLANS up. Yet the thing that
provoked me will be done
over and over. He Just
doesn't pay any attention to
me.
I'm hard to live with, but
Vic doesn't realize that he
is also hard to get along
with.
Victor S.-I've tried to be
patient with Lillian, hoping
her violent spells would
wear of. I've hoped she
would realize that screaming
and brawling will only in
tensify our problems, not
make them better. However,
patience hasn't helped and
I don't know what will.
Lillian admits she is quite
a nag. She bothers me about
the way I dress. the way I act
in company and a lot of
things. Well, I'm not the
type to be tied to apron
strings.
If things don't improve, I'm
ready to call it quits.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Both Lillian and Victor
have met their matches
rather than mates. Lillian's
violence and brawling are
ugly, but Victor also uses
some potent weapons-hiS
silence and repetition of the
things that annoy his wife.
Constant fault-flnding is
