DEAR ABBY
Advice on Same Old Grind
sY ABIGAIL VAN sUREk

DEAR ABBY: Please tell
GRINDERS WIFE she is
not alone. I married one Of
those grinders 18 years ago
and he is still grinding. I'll
never forget the first pair Of
handle m b OF d e red pillow
cases ! ever owned. They had
the incest little crocheted
edges on them. In one week
my husband had chewed all
the crochet work of the pill
low cases.
I later found out that all
his sweetness, kindness and
generosity was just an act.
He was really mean, selfish
and stubborn. And he showed
1t in his sleep by grinding
his teeth. One of these nights
I'm going to knock his teeth
out.

DEAR ABBY: I was sur
prised when I read in your

what could be done about a
husband who had been grind

you replied. Nothing

a competent dentist. An ap-

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Continue With Hormone Shots?
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
After reading your under
standing and wise column
for some time, I have de-
cided to write you for advice.
ITO MAKE A LONG story
short, at the age of "a I had
a tubular pregnancy that
ended instead in a complete
hysterectomy (removal of
uterus. I was thrown into
an artifici~s menopause and
still have symptoms.
Nov, at 40. my good doc
tor has passed away and has
left my bewildered. He gave
me hormone shots these
many years. I am not being
neurotic or dramatic when l
say that without artificial
help. I could not have made it
at times.
THE many doctors l have
visited since, tell me that I
do not need hormone shots
any more. Please, DR.. Sttin-
crohn, could you advise me?
What is your opinion of .he
shots? Perhaps it is a crutch
I am clinging to mneces-
sarily.
II only know that without
some help I do not have the
strength and stamina that
should be mine. I am a tiny
person, 5 feet in height, and
81 pounds in weight. I will
so appreciate an answer.

THERE ARE TWO schools

regarding this problem. Some

mones? Especially when it
hasn't been proved that
taking them invites cancer?"
But there are no blanket
rules. Take your case. l

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: !
am AZ. and my doctor Just
discovered a lump in my
breast. Studies show that
it is cancer and must come
out right away. But he has
said something that disturbs
me further. The surgeon may
also find it advisable to do
what he calls an oopho-
rectomy-an operation to
remove both ovaries.
IT have a friend who had a
breast operation for cancer
last year. She is only %.
Her doctors didn't do any
ovary operation on her. Will
you please explain? Sincerely,
Mrs. D.. Waco, Texas"
DOCTORS THINK care
fully. under all conditions,
before removing both ovaries
in a young woman. Probably
they weighed the pros and
cons in your friends case,
and decided that removing
her ovaries would not help
her. Very often the decision
depends upon what kind of
cancer it is. In certain types
of breast cancer, removal of
ovaries will not help the
patient.
Now. in your case, the doc
tor feels that operation on
the ovaries will give you a
better chance for recovery.
Besides. he has probably
taken your age into consid-
Grafton. Yours is the pre-
menopausal status. Oopho-
rectomy will not cause as
great a disturbance in your
system as in a younger pa
tient and as you are un-
doubtedly in the non-child-
bearing period. you have
everything to gain and little
to lose.
Therefore, in summing up,
I'd say go ahead with the
breast and ovary operation
If it is the studied conviction
Of your doctors that such is
the best treatment for you.

denly said she was bored with
domestic life, put her three

keeper and gone of to work.
Evelyn complains that she
can't stand housework and
kids and that she and her
husband haven't anything in
common. She doesn't even
spend evenings at home be-
cause she takes courses twice
q week.
This is a terrible way to
treat children and a husband.
Evelyn's husband is a fine,
considerate person. The addi-
tional income isn't needed.
Although I don't think Eve
lyn would be unfaithful, she
has a tendency to lead men
on. I fear her freedom will
lead to more serious trouble.
Evelyn R.-Mother and I
have argued this thing to
the point of exhaustion. She
can never convince me that
it is better for a bored, ir-
ritable mother to take care
Of children than a contented
hired woman.
My husband doesn't object
to my working. He's a nice
person and all of that, but
we like entirely different
things and disagree about
everything important.

line attention, but I don't

Gus intentions.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Unfortunately. there is
little a mother can do in a
case like this-a conflict
which should be worked out
with somebody else. This is
Evelyn's husband. His as
sertion alone can bring
Evelyn back home. Her argu-
ments are designed purely to
justify her behavior and not
to arrive at a solution of the
problem.
We can believe that Evelyn
flirts without serious in
tentions." This, however,
doesn't necessarily eliminate
the possibility of her carrying
these casual contacts a step
further.
Evelyn's contention that
she and her husband have
nothing in common is a
smoke screen.
The separation Evelyn sees
between them is a more or
less consciously erected bar
rier. She is now seeking to
widen the barrier.
The only thing to draw this
couple together again is an
active desire on both their
parts to make the marriage
work. No outsider can give
them that. II and when they
get that desire they will know
how to go about repairing the
damage that has been done.
In the meantime they are
cheating themselves and their
children.

Somewhat Premature

Indiana Senator Hartke's demand for
the grounding of all Electra turbo-prop
airlinerS and for the resignation of Fed
eral Aviation Administrator Quesada was
somewhat premature, to say the least.
OF course, if the investigation of the
Boston crash of an Eastern Airlines Elec-
ira, with the loss of 81 lives, should
show that these planes should have been
grounded and that Mr.. Quesada's fail
ure to do so was direct or contributing
cause OF the accident, the drastic de-
mands by Senator Hartke would be
justified. There has been no such show
ing, however-and the preliminary evi-
dence indicates that what happened to
Flight 375 might well have happened
to any turbo-prop or Jet airplane We
think the Senator should wait until the
cause OF the tragedy is determined be-
fore popping of with any demands or
criticisms
Mr.. Quesada'S Succinct comment on
Senator Hartke'S pronouncement was
that he was unaware that the Senator
had any technical background" to quail
lfy him for giving advice on the crash.
1t is true that the Electra has had a
series OF accidents, as result of which
MIR. QueSada ordered the airliners to be
flown at reduced speeds. For persons
with technical background had found
that the accidents had been caused by
undue vibration of the planes at high
speeds. A $25-million program to correct
this defect has been started. But the
Flight 375 Electra was just taking off
when 1t faltered and plunged into the
pay. There was no indication that the
ship broke up in midair and it certainly
had not attained high speed when it
fell.
The FAA head and his staff believe
that a migrating flock of starlings, sew
eral hundred bodies of which were found
on the runway, may have flown into
the turbo-prop engines and choked one
or more Of them into STALL This pos
Sibility is being thoroughly investigated.
II birds are found to have been the
cause, every effort should be made to
md way to keep the runwayS clear
or TO protect jet engines with screens or
other devices. The FAA, no doubt, could
help in solving this problem. But to
blame the FAA or its administrator for
the Boston disaster before the facts are
adduced is both unfair and irresponsible.

that offered unquestionable
proof of party supremacy.

quent lawyer, won for the

New Reqime for Brazil

Brazil has elected a decidedly i'm
pressive young man to succeed President
kubitSchek. He is 43-year-old Janio
da Silva QuadroS, an Independent con-
Servative whose exceptionally fine record
has made it easy for him to campaign
as a candidate particularly well quail
iled-in terms of maturity, experience
and special talent-to serve as his coun-
try's chief executive.
Despite the spectacular economic
development that has been carried out
by the KubitSchek government, mount
ing imitation is pinching great numbers
OF BrazilianS, and there is widespread
discomfort over the uneven distribution
OF wealth. Mr. QuadroS, who is gifted
also with an attractive political per-
sonality, has appealed strongly to those
VINO want fiscal stability and to those
who want improved social-welfare op-
eratlonS. His past performance in both
these fields has been excellent.
Thus Mr. Quadros's record as gov
ernor of Sac Paulo, BrazilS richest
State, shows him to have been top
notch administrator who put the States
financial house in order while at the
same time promoting better living
standards with programs of major con-
Struction involving factories, power
plants, highways, schools, etc. In his
successful campaign for the presidency,
he has pledged himself to carry out the
same kind of policy on a national scale
"a policy that will rely primarily on
private enterprise, cut excessive govern
mental costs, but still allow for Federal
action to help the needy and speed
up progress in such fields as public
education.
1t may be that the President-elect
Will find that program of this sort is
more difficult to apply nationally than
IN State like Sac Paulo. But the Bra
lillian electorate has given him almost a
landslide victory over his Government
packed opponent, and If his running
mate wins the vice presidential contest
(the outcome Is still in doubt), Mr. Qua
dros will be in a strong position to 20
forward with measures that can do much
to promote Brazil's economic and polit-
ical stability.
AS for Mr.. Quadros' views on for
eign policy, there is ample ground for
confidence that Brazil's relations with
Washington, far from deteriorating,
may further improve during his FIVE
year term as President. Although he
has visited Moscow and Castro's Cuba
whose revolution" he has praised-his
opponents, especially the Communists,
nave attacked him for being too friendly
With our State Department and Western
lmperialists." Actually. all signs indi-

heavy new responsibilities.
