plunge, like diving into cold
water and getting it over
with. Don't keep sticking
your big toe in to feel the
temperature-too scared to
Withstand the shock-when
you'll have to make the de-
cision any way.
It's true that the symp-
toms I've mentioned often
spell trouble. But the point
I'm making is that often
they don't. Life is too short
to go through your days liv-
ing as a cardiac invalid un-
necessarily. That's as silly as
driving a new, high-powered
car at Is miles an hour be-
cause you've heard a squeak
or two as you go over a bump
in the road. How about a
visit to the mechanic for
some reinsurance?

NOT UNTIL the starry-eyed
young married couple have
their first baby do they real

Romantic love flies out the
window and is replaced by
love fortified by trials and
problems that come with the
raising of a youngSter.
When you're suddenly con-
fronted with the complete
responsibility of caring for a
new human being ESPECIALLY
when it's yours-biologically
or adopted) you grow up
fast. You'd better do so, or
marriage can become a ma

Widow Hopes to Visit
French Town GI Soved

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 81
(AP). Chances appear good
today that Mrs. Mae McRacken
will at last visit the spot in
France where her CT husband
died a hero.
Mrs. McRacken, a motel
clerk, has been invited every
year for the last II years to
attend ceremonies at Mayenne,
France, in memory of her hus-
band, Pvt. James D. McRacken
of Red Springs.
However, Mrs. McRacken has
never been able to make it
lack of money, illness Of her
daughter, or the need for hold
ing on to her job.
This year, a drive is under
way here to see that she gets
the money. If it is forthcom-
ing, she and the daughter,
Myrtis, 18, will take a jet plane
to Mayenne in time for the
annual memorial ceremonies
Saturday. Gov. Terry Sanford
indicated he might be able to
arrange military air transpor-
tation to and from New York.
North Carolina can be no
less enduringly proud Of its
own who stamped his valor
and the honor of North Caro-
lima on the Mayenne bridge
for all time" Gov. Sanford
said.
Pvt. McRacken, a member
Of the 315th Engineers, Goth
Infantry Division, Sd Army
was one Of II soldiers who fol-
lowed an American tank along
a highway into Mayenne or
August S. 1914. The Germans
were retreating. They hao
blown up all bridges across the
Mayenne River, except the one
on the road the Americans were
using.
They wired that bridge with
explosives, even as Pvt. Nc.
Racken and his squad watched
and carried decorating wires
across the river. They ther
opened fire on the river with
artillery and small arms fire
Pvt. McRacken dashed from
behind the tank and onto tn,
bridge. He managed to cut tn
detonating wires before tn,
Germans could set off the ex
plosives. He then was cut dowl
by enemy rifle fire.
Mayenne citizens covered Pvt
McRacken's body with a whit,
sheet and flowers, and subse
quently hailed him as 9TH
savior Of Mayenne." The,

that the same technique might
eventually be applied to mems
whiskers.
Every male has been cursed
with the chore of shaving
since boards went out of style,
and I fully feel that here is
a golden opportunity for
America to be first" the letter
read.
Senator Heating said he had
forwarded the letter to the
Department Of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare.
Second Thoughts
Since then, however. he said
he's had some second thoughts.
I'D be unhappy-as would
all taxpayers-if we discov-
cred we'd spent a billion dol
lars and came up with a hair
remover that also turns out tG
be a face remover" Senator
Keating said, adding:
"Also a lot Of my friends
tell me that their most pro-
ductive thinking takes place
while they're shaving. Anc
rsince we need all the creative
thinking we can get these days
maybe it's not so wise to cut
off one Of the prime sources
of supply"

NY, NY. (SpeciaD. Medical

lions suffer from Stomach Ten
sion. "a distress caused by to-
days hectic pace of living; juice
and coffee breakfasts eat

Your own doctor can tell you,
Stomach Tension pours wave
after wave Of burning acid onto
delicate stomach tissues. But
ordinary antacids merely relieve
the first wave Of acid :. then
leave the stomach, leave you
open to further attack. An ant
acid was needed that could give
prolonged soothing relief the
same amazing relief that doc
tors knew a warm glass of milk

gave. The answer came when
physicians discovered a Glycine
compound-a medication that
soothed a burning acid stomach
even better than a warm glass
Of milk. A medical publication
reported that this compound
gave faster relief than ordinary
antacidS, and actually worked
to soothe the stomach for hours
and guard against repeated acid
attacks. This most effective
compound is named Amitone.
If you suffer Stomach Tension

The oldest practicing psy-
chiatrist in the United States
is Richard H. Hoffman of
New York. He studied in
Vienna shortly after the
turn Of the century, when
psychiatry was regarded as
a dark art. He is now a tall
straight man with sleek hair,
a man who works every day
as though there were a mil
lion of them left.
He has written a book
called 1.-THE Conquest of Ten

Three Bodies
Found After
Mine Cuvein

HAZARD, KY, Dec. 13 (APl.
-ReScuers today found dead
three victims of a cave-in at a
Perry County truck mine.
Rescue workers, operating in
shifts. found the bodies of Ben
Sexton and Sidney Bryant of
Letcher County and Jack Noble
Of Smithboro.
The fourth victim of yester-
days cave-in at Bradley Breed
ing No. 4 truck mine was iden-
titled as Kenny Adams, Letcher
County.
Authorities said a 10 to IL
foot thick section of the roof
collapsed about 1000 feet in
side the mine entrance.
Seven men were in the truck
mine, including tram driver
Dave Craft, who was only about
80 feet away. The other three
escaped safely.
Rescue teams had worked
through the night but held
little hope of finding the men
alive. Several hundred miners
from the Southeastern Ken
lucky coal fields waited in
cloudy, freezing weather today
to do what they could to help
the rescue parties.
The cave-in occurred as the
men were removing pillars of
coal, used to support the roof
when mining operations were
carried out, explained mine in
spector Everett Bartlett.
The rescue was slowed be-
cause workers had to prop up
sections of the roof as they
advanced.
The mine is 20 miles from
Hazard.
There are many truck mines
in the area, small operations
that depend upon trucks to
haul coal to terminals rather
than load directly from the pits

Pentogon Studies Slash
In Guord, Reserve. Units

Reserve units to shake down
and get into combat training
| In part, this was attributed
to the under-strength state Of
these units when they were
mustered. Wiscorsin's 32d In
fantry Division, for example,
had only ABOUT 1000 men. 1t
was beefed up TO about 10000
by the assignment Of individual
filters" from the reserve man
power pool.
Sources said the publiciZed
complaints Of some Of the re-
called Guardsmen and reserv-
lists did not figure Importantly
in the planning to cut out some
Guard and Reserve outfits ard
to build up others.
However. it was pointed out
that a Guard division already
near full strength would not
need to draw on filters, who the
Army says have been the main
source of gripes.
There has been no decision
yet as to which divisions would
be dropped, sources said. It
was possible the final number
involved could be changed.
The plan would not strip any
State of its Guard elements
In States which lose divisions
units might be maintained on
a separate battalion or brigade
basis.
A cut in the number Of men
on drill pay. sources suggested
could come through elirnina-
ton Of some small units con-
sidered Of slight value.
The Army now operates un-
der a drill pay limit Of 100000
Guardsmen and 100000 re-
SCI NlSIS.
1t was not clear whether the
blow would fall harder on the
Reserve or the Guard.
But the political implications
would seem to put the Reserve
units in a more vulnerable
position.
A proposal to eliminate
Guard divisions would clash
with State pride and tradition
1t also would ruffle Governors
in the affected States by TAX
ing away some of their patron
age. Governors appoint COM
manding generals and senior

their States.
