How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Need for Sleep Varies
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

I write this after nine
hours of sound sleep last
night. I feel like the proven
bial new man. For me, at
least, a full nights sleep is
an essential part If good liv-
ing. True. there are many
more fortunate who can get
along on 5 or 6 hours of
sleep night after night.
SUCH A SCHEDULE would
gradually slow me down to a
halt physically and men,
tally. They contend: Why
sleep so much of your life
away? Why waste the pre-
cious hours of living?" My
answer is that for me (and
for many otherS) sleep is eS-
sential. We may sleep half a
life away, but it gives us
energy to enjoy the other
half twice as much.
I receive so many letters
from readers who want to
know just how much sleep is
necessary for good health.
The answer is this: There is
no blanket (no pun intended
rule for everyone. You may
require only 5 hours; need
8 hours. But there's a hitch.

In spite of Nickie's Jealous
antics, the birds managed to
get enough to eat. They sur
vived the worst winter in de-
cades. and by spring were
joihed by countless brethren
from the south.
Nickie, however, continues
to wage relentless war
against those that still hover
around our yard and home.
1t seems clear. on watching
Nickie race after the birds
and then leap five CT six
feet into the air when they
take flight. that our dog is
going nutty because he can
not fly.
I don't think Nickie wants
tG hurt the birds. Nickie is
really a softie, a sentiment
talist, an easy touch. When
we bottle nursed several
lambs in our kitchen earlier
this year, Nick took such a

Living on a ann, in winter
as well as summer. gives one
a new appreciation of the
beauty and the freedom and
the very special charm of
birds.
During the heavy SHOWS,
Miriam put bread crumbs
and other bird food on little
platforms in the yard trees,
so that the bright red car
dinals and the SparrowS and
the fat little quail would not
Starve. Through the worst
part of the winter, the birds
hung around the main house
by the score, living harmoni-
ously with each Other. One
afternoon we counted 20 red
male cardinals and some Is
females, with their red beaks
and red-tipped wings.
PERCHED ON BUSHES
with t he cardinals were a
dozen bluejays, and the red
and blue ag? list the white
snow background made a
memorable winter picture.
When heavy winds came,
up to so and go miles an
hour, the cardinals and blue
jays seemed to have no
trouble remaining perched
on their twigs. The strong
winds blew down trees and
whipped snow into huge
drifts. but the tiny little
winged creatures held on
safely with their delicate
little feet.
When the birds, in better
weather, flew to their feed

Some persons don't get all
the sleep they really need.
They think that because the
other fellow does we'll on a
few hours sleep nightly. that
they are sissies if they spend
8 and 9 hours in bed. AS
result, they become tired and
gradually lose their efficiency.
After many years on a sleep
schedule that deprived them
of necessary rest and rejuve-
nation, they we're quite sur
prised to learn how much
more energy they had after
the few extra hours of rest
at night which they thought
they didn't need"
I tell people that it is i'm
portant to discover how much
rest they actually require at
night. If you are always COM
planning of being tired, and
begin to wonder that perhaps
there is something organ
ically wrong, it is a simple
matter to re-arrange your
evening schedule-allow your
self at least 8 hours of sleep
nightly for a week.
If you become convinced
that you have more bounce
and vigor after you tack an
hour or two on to your pre-
vious sleep schedule, then the
answer is evident: Get more
sleep. Otherwise you will
without realizing it, limp
through life rather than ac-
tually skip through it.
How much sleep is neces-
sary for good health? Keep
remembering it is a purely
personal problem. You can
solve it much better than
your doctor can.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is it
true that too much cortisone
causes people to have moon
shaped heads, weak minds
and other deformities? Mrs.
P.
CORTISONE and other
corticosteroids are powerful
medicines. Overdosage may
cause overgrowth of hair,
moon shaped faces" in
crease blood pressure, cause
interference with the normal
metabolism of the body
and other side effects.
However, you must remem-
Der that overdosage with any
medicine-be it aspirin, digi-
tails or any other may pro-
duce side effects that are
troublesome. What it comes
down to is this: Never take
any medicine for long with
out the supervision of your
doctor. If you do so you will
not get into trouble.
Coming back to cortiSone,
it will not cause your mind
to become weak nor will it
produce any deformities. If
your doctor wants you to take
it, do so without trepidation.
Be thankful for it's useful
properties; you have nothing
to fear If he regulates the
dosage. He will prescribe it
If he thinks you need it: and
stop it when necessary.

nounced yesterday that it will
buy 10000 acres of land north
and west of the Cape on which
to construct launching pads
and facilities for the monster
Nova rocket, the multi-million-
pound thrust vehicle assigned
to carry aStronauts to the
moon and beyond.
Several other sites had been
considered.
$50 Million for Land
The land acquisition. which
NASA reported would cost $50
million, may erase thousands
of acres of citrus groves, three
Atlantic Ocean recreation
beaches and three unincorpo-
rated towns and will force
about 500 persons to move from
their homes.
The citrus groves, some of the
richest in Florida, are located
on North Merritt Island, west
of the Cape. The beaches, pop
ular with central Floridians,
are on narrow strip of land
extending about 9 miles north
of the Cape.
Most persons who will have
to relocate were unhappy with
the news. But the majority
felt the Government would
give them a fair price for their
property.
Charles w. Skelly, an orange
grove owner, commented:
1T hurts anyone who is
farmer at heart to lose land.
But if it is the proper action
and for the good of the ma
jority, We naturally will go
along with it"
Missile Firms to Move In
Gov. Farris Bryant termed
the decision 1.-THE biggest de-
velopment ever in the Florida
economy" He estimated the
project would mean long
term expenditure of $40 billion
in the State.
Many missile companies which
have been awaiting naming of
the moon base are expected to
establish plants in the State.
An official estimated 81 bill
lion would be spent on con-
struction of at least four Nova
and two additional Saturn
launching pads.
The missile test center'S
23,000-man work force is ex-
pected to increase by 5000 to
10000 persons within a few
years.
Brevard County will add about
$4,000 to its population in the
same period, estimated Don

of Commerce in the nearby

of Cocoa Beach. Mr.. Holt fore
