Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I'm
writing in regard to my son
WAo has severe attacks of
gas and Ilauseau after he
eats. There seems to be a
painful pocket of gas under
meath his right ribs. This has
been so practically every day
for the past few weeks. Our
doctor advises an X-ray of
the gall bladder. Isn't that
wasted expense? Young boys
don't have gall bladder
trouble. Sincerely, Mrs. o.,
Miami, Fla.
YOU ARE MAKING a COM
mon mistake-and sometimes
one made in the profession it
Self-that "this patient Is too
young to have this" or that
patient is too old to have
that"
Although it is relatively
rare, gall stone trouble CAN
occur In young children. Just
as 1t isn't impossible to get
the measles or some other
childhood infection when you
are a grandfather or grand
mother.
Better have that X-ray
Just to make sure. There's
something making your doc
tor suspicious. It's important
to find out whether the clues
are true or false. y
So &A
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
mother, who is rs, has swell
ling in her ankles and legs.
Our family doctor calls 1t
edema and prescribed some
pills. He said they would be
slow acting and not take
down the swelling quickly.
He says her heart and blood
pressure are all right.
My question is this: In
checking her heart, the doc
tor only used the stethoScope.
We all have the greatest re-
spect for our doctor, but he
is about 80. Although he is
alert and extremely active
with a FULL practice, we can't
help questioning his judge
Inent. Please advise.-Mrs. w.
MANY AN OLDSTER is
wiser than a youngster in
practice; and vice versa.
Therefore I can't pass on
your doctors ability because
Of his age alone. But I be-
lieve the general feeling in the
profession is that a heart
check-up isn't complete with
out an electrocardiogram.
In an earlier column ]
mentioned a reader who no
longer got any kick out Of
getting UP in the morning
and facing another day. In
spite of the obvious truth
that every morning given to
us to live is actually a re-
birth, too many of us allow
thoughts of the past or
anxieties for the future to
becloud the precious hours
Of the present.
In so doing, we lose our
zest for living. However,
there are some happy indi-
viduals-either happy by
birth, or who develop a sens
ible philosophy-who enjoy
life's cup of tea to the last
drop. For example, consider
this letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: 1t

City Probing
Revenue Source
For Airstrip

A tax on aviation gasoline may
be the solution to providing funds
for maintenance costs on the City's
airstrip.
The idea was presented to the
City Council Tuesday evening by
the City Manager. He said the two
commercial air service owners were
agreeable. The City Attorney
stated the City has no authority to
tax in this field.
The City may place tie-downs at
the airstrip, a service badly needed.
Scale of charges for the service has
not been determined.

Gibson Cove Site
For Boat harbor

Gibson Cove as possibility for
another small boat harbor came up
for discussion by the City Council
Thursday.
City Manager Bill Poland pre-
scented a tentative sketch and plans
for use of the natural harbor for
berthing boats. ut is necessary for
us to think about more facilities for
boats" he said. CONSTRUCTION of
another boat harbor adjacent to the
present one would take at least five
years-to get federal approved, etc.
Our need is right now" he said.
The harbor would be especially
suited to berthing of large boats
stored for the winter.
CONSTRUCTION costs would be rel
atively cheap he said. Estimated
cost for harbor facilities in Gibson
Cove, he said would be about &c.,
600. With funds now available in
the small boat harbor fund and
available from the State, Poland
stated the harbor could be COM
pleted for berthing boats by late
summer
The harbor is presently under
the administration of the Navy, and

Whether it's at home
or at the beach, soup
and sandwiches are ma
turals for a summer
lunch or a light supper.
Nutritionally, they're a
sound combination and have
the added advantage Of sat-
isfying the appetite and be-
ing easy to prepare.
Where will you find a more
refreshing luncheon pattern
than q bowl of soup, q plate
Of chilled finger sandwiches.
and cool, fresh fruit for
dessert? Canned condensed
soups offer endless possibil-
tiles serve one kind, q
mixture of two. add spices,
herbs, or an unusual garnish
for interest. It's fun to build
your own soup with q bit Of
imagination. Serve them hot
or cold. depending on the
whims Of the weather man.
Many Of the condensed
soups are ideal for serving
cold. For example, keep a few
cans Of cream of celery,
chicken or asparagus, to-
mato. green pea, or beef
broth on hand in, the re-
frigerator. Beef broth Is espe-
cially good served on-the-
rocks simply fill q roomy
glass with ice cubes and pour
the broth, right from the can,
over the cubes. Garnish with
. wedge Of lemon or lime.
You'll be pleasantly surprised
how good this tastes on . hot
day. Be sure you use beef
broth not consomme. Con-
somme contains gelatin
which will thicken when
poured over ice.
Sandwich combinations go
on forever. Think Of the

combine light colored Filings
with dark breads, dark fill
ings with light or medium

Salads, too, can be created
quickly and easily from re-

fresh fruits, mixed greens
and topped with prepared
salad dressings.

ton to the regular whole
fryer, the package will con-
tain an extra set Of legs and
thighs (making four Of each),
or an extra breast. Regula-
ton packages, Of course, are
also available containing Just
the single fryer.
Beef, too, is an outstanding
value this week. You'll find
some real good buys in both
steaks and roasts. The List
includes rib, chuck, shoulder
(boneless or with bone IND
roasts and three steaks Of
merit rib, chuck and
sirloin.
Another meat on the bar
gain list is veal. Here the
emphasis is on shoulder
blade, round bone, sirloin or
rump Cbone in) and leg Of
veal roasts. If your taste
runs to chops you'll find at
tractive prices on veal outlets,
loin and rib chops, as well as
shoulder blade and round
bone chops. Breast Of veal
for stuffing Is . cut worth
considering.
Smoked hams are still an
other good buy for this week
end along with boiled ham
for picnic sandwiches. &.
Best bets at fish counters
are shrimp, live Maine lob
sters, lump crab meat, crab
cakes (these are ready to
heat and serve), croakers,
and first-of -the-season king
crab legs from Alaska.
Produce Values
There's q better choice at
produce counters this week
than we've seen for some
time.
Watermelons continue to
be a leading fruit buy. Santa
Rosa plums, California Or
anges,. lemons, Georgia
peaches, and seedless grapes
are recommended. Canta-
loupes are improving in quail
ity and prices are edging
down slightly. Blueberries
are plentiful and so are
strawberries. Some blackber-
ries are around but prices are
high on this perishable fruit.
Supplies of Bing cherries are
on the increase, quality Is
good.

simistic about the possibility
of our ever achieving a ma
tional consensus.
THE FOL l. WING Ex.
CERPT from a recent editor
ial in The National Review
is a pertinent case in point.
"Grinding through the $4,000
word report submitted a
couple of weeks ago by the
Presidents Commits o on
National Goals, we felt a GER
tain bored anger. Not in what
the report said, nor in the
Sodden way it said it, but in
the assumptions underlying it
we found the cause of our
discomfort. For the report
assumes that in every - yes,
every - aspect of human life
the government bears reSpOn-
SibiIity."
Taken in context, this is
clearly meant to suggest that,
in the opinion of the Presi-
dents Commission, govern
ment bears primary respon-
sibility for developing and
f%urthering our national goals
in every aspect of human
life.
The following excerpts from
the text of the Report and
from some of the background
essays published as q sup
plement to the Report will
clearly demonstrate that this
statement simply isn't ac-
curate:

one else to do their budget
ing. For example, they often
pay more than they need to
for household and car insur-
ance because they buy it from
a mortgage lender or finance
company for the convenience
of including it in a single
monthly payment.
One large bank reports
100000 now use its new bank
account plan allowing you to
charge at local stores and
pay the bank monthly. One
result of these many new
plans is to encourage fam
lilies to buy on credit small
purchases like clothing that
they additionally bought for
cash. The country's largest re-
taller reports that most of its
credit consumers never even
ask how much finance charges
they must pay.
More families today need
to get together and establish
values and long-range goals.
A failure to do this may lead
to more serious difficulties
than falling into the hands of
loan sharks.
These sharks incidentally
still operate their businesses
in many towns despite the
popular notion that they have
been legislated out of exis-
tence. In these relatively
prosperous times there actual
ly are more personal bank
ruptcies than during the big
depression of the 1930s.
