 Columbia Ward eannery, al- though within the city limits of Kenai. must use a boat to cross the river for mail and passengers. Other residents in the kalifonsky Beach Road area, part of whom are within the city limits since Kenai's incorporation, must drive the long way around through soldotna to reach Kenai on busi- ness connected with the city.
 A further check concerning the size of the bridge has dis closed that another span will be needed, according to Frances Torkilsen, city clerk, who said that investigation is being made on possibility of securing part of the King River bridge recently dismantled on the other side of Anchorage.
 Cost of the Moose River bridge, charge for dismantling and nov ing 1t, price of King River bridge or portion of it, if it can be purchased, and cost of reconstrae- ton across the kenai River must all be taken into account before any decision is reached, city off eials said.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Hives Can Be Stubborn
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: On
various occasions during the
past few months I have
broken out with a rash of
hives over most of my body.
At times my lips and eyes
become so swollen you'd
think I'd been in a brawl.
After a few days of taking
pyribenzamine and cortisone
which my doctor prescribes,
the hives disappear-only to
return again. Will you dis
cuSs this stubborn condi-
ton? Thank you.-Mr. L.,
California.
IF YOU HAVE ever had
an attack of acute" hives
you may wonder what all
the shooting is about. Prob
ably your doctor gave you
an injection OF adrenalin or
an anti = histaminic and
within hours your attack
was over, never to return
again.
However, it's an entirely
different story with patients
who suffer from Chronic"
hives. This form Of urticaria
often lasts on and off for
many months. Both doctor
and patient are Sorely tried
to keep up their faith and
hope that they will be able
to master this itchy mess.
Wheales-large or small
may pop out on any part
Of the body. The discomfort
drives some persons to dis
traction. They can't sleep or
eat; they can't work or relax.
The doctors job is to set
out on a frustrating trail of
detective work. If you have
chronic urticaria, he will put
you on a basic diet and
gradually add other foods in
hopes of discovering one to
which you are allergic. He
may take skin tests. He will
check on the perfumes you
use; the soaps you wash
with; the clothes you wear.
Do you have some parasitic
(worm) or bacterial infec-
tion? What drugs have you
been taking latelyP Are the
villains among this group
liver extracts, insulin, vita
minis, various sera wac
cines), penicillin? There are
dozens of others.
Sometimes chronic urti-
caria is associated with
underlying illness of a severe
nature. Therefore, in chronic
hives, you should present
yourself for a complete ply
sical examination.

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
FowIer's Laughter and Tears

A short time ago, Gene
Fowler became an obituary
notice. The wire reports
told how Gene had started,
10 years ago, in Denver, how
he migrated to Chicago and
New York, and of how he
had, in time, become an edi-
tor and a writer of books.
GENE FOWLER had the
heart of a benevolent giant.
He loved whole hosts Of
people, some of whom he
never met. Fowler was two
generations ahead of me,
but, even though we never
saw each other, he used to
take time out in his Cali
fornia home to write encour-
aging notes.
His newest book, published
after his death, is before me
as I write. It is called "Sky-
line" and it must be said at
once that this is not Gene
Fowler at his best. 1t is Mr..
Fowler talking to himself
about his early days and,
like most "reminiscences, it
tends to wander. Still, it tells
much about the great news
Evening star., 1961-05-01

papers and reporters. of the
1920s.
Mr.. Fowler was always
caught Squarely between
laughter and tears. When he
wrote THE Great Mouth
piece" a book about the Chi
canery of Lawyer William
Fallon, it required no intelli-
gence on my part to divine
that Fowler was sympathetic
to the crooks. Especially if
the crooks were hopelessly in
love. Sometimes, he wept
for them.
GOOD Night, Sweet
Prince"-the story Of Genes
friend, John Barrymore,
would cause a block of gran
ite to shed a tear. Beau
James, the biography of
Jimmy Walker, still haunts
me. And yet they were not
sad books. Every other
page is loud with ribald
laughter.
You be the Judge. Let me
quote a bit from Skyline:
News is history shot on the
wing. The huntsmen from
the Fourth Estate seek to
oag only the peacock or the
eagle Of the swifting day"
Associate with well-man-
nered persons and your own
manners will improve. Run
with decent folk and your
own decent instincts will be
strengthened. Keep the
company of buns and
you will become a bum. But
hang around with rich
people and you will end up
by picking up the tab and
dying broke"
He quotes a note found on
Bat MaSterSon'S desk when
he died in 1921. There are
many in this old world of
ours who hold that things
break about even for all of
us. I have observed for ex-
ample that we all get about
the same amount of ice. The
rich get it in the summer
time and the poor get it in
winter"
Fowler quotes a lot from
Damon Runyon. Mr.. Runyon
was his Denver antecedent
and, sometimes, Fowler's
hero. Without luck" said
Runyon, "a reporter is as out
OF place as a doorbeIl in a
tomb" He also said that
the most courageous thing in
New York is a blade of grass.
Then there are the little
quotes: THE beard was
parted in the middle, and
fluttered like the lace cur
tains Of a rectory window"
Our love affair had gone

long in the vase" :. In a sa-

Trudy Says
Shed Win
A'Divorce
By MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM

by MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM
Trudy B.-I could win a
divorce easily.
CarOle N.-She should try
to save her marriage.
THE DETAILS
Trudy B.-A person only
has one life to live. I've made
a mistake in handing my life
over to a man like Steve,
and I owe it to myself and
my son to get out from I'M
der and find a little happi-
ness. Even though I can't
charge adultery, I can sue
him for every kind of cruelty
and I'd win my case in al
most any State of the Union.
The man has abused me
physically and mentally. He
thinks marriage entities him
to a female slave. AS to the
baby, he's only 2 but be
clings to me like glue when
his fathers on the scene. I'd
better take steps while I'm
still in, one piece.
My friend Carole, however,
insists I'm wrong. She says
I should hang on.
CarOle N. - I've known
Trudy all her life. She's 81
and I'm 38. I'm trying to
save her from going through
what I went through, and
am still regretting-the too
hasty winding up of a diff
cult marriage.
In my case, adultery on my
husbands part did enter into
my decision. Even so, looking
back, I know I had some
thing to do with driving him
into it! There was no peace
or welcome for him at home.
The children-I have three
or my parents took prior
ity.
Now ! feel that with the
help. and some real effort
on my part, I'd have gotten
my marriage back on the
track.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There's one word that
ought never be used in con-
nection with a divorce-the
word win" In the shipping
of a bond, nobody really
wins" and everybody loses
a lot.
Without going into the
grounds which Trudy claims
she has for a divorce, we'll
assume she has them in suf-
ficient supply to satisfy the
laws in some eaSy-divorce
States. We'd rather discuss
Carole's SLOW down and cool
off" advice, while there's still
time.
DR.. Paul Popenoe of the
American Institute of Fam
lily Relations insists, after 80
years work with warning
couples. that most mar
riages can be saved with only
a moderate amount Of ef-
fort" By moderate" he asks
for at least the attention
and concentration one puts
into the care Of a car, or
teeth, or a garden.
Divorces are easy to get,
Trudy. Marriage counseling
is a bit hard to get. CThere's
a ShortageJ But post-divorce
regrets are hardest of all.

yer polish to the Innings Of
all our clouds"
Fowler was a great reporter
and a great editor. Those.
'adjectives are not. abused.
When he was managing ed
itor of Hearst's New York
American, Fowler used to-.
stand in the doorway of his
office playing a mandolin. He.
plucked little tunes as he
watched his city desk and
his writer's.
HE ONCE FIRED Walter
Davenport for describing q
white horse in a Suffragette
parade as "dappled gray"
Davenport was hired back
after he explained that he
had covered the parade
through a tavern window
Wnlcn was covered With lily
Specks.
Gene Fowler said that the
most difficult thing in life
is that it is filled with too
many goodbys. So I shall not
say farewell to him. He is
alive forever in thousands of
bright pages of words. In
stead, I shall quote one of
his best lines: Love and
memory last, and will so en-
dure till the game is called
because of darkness"

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

ARGUMENT: At one time,
when he was advanced in
years Publisher William
Randolph Hearst got into a
wrangle with one Of his ma
gazine editors.
The latter had refused to
print a story written by a
lady who. many years pre-
vious, had befriended Hearst.
The publisher insisted that
the story appear. The editor
stubbornly held his ground.
The two met to discuss
the matter, Hearst conceded
that the story was not top
drawer. but pointed out that
he was under obligation to
the lady. Finally the editor
relented.
"All right, Mr.. Hearst" he
said. After all, we shouldn't
be arguing about a girl at
our age"
"At our age!" Scoffed
Hearst. You mean at her
age"

DEAR ABBY

The response, in my opin-
ion, is overwhelming evidence
that the majority of women
DO NOT want the stylish
pointed toes and needle heels
that have been forced upon
them. Thousands of girls and
women have written to say
they now have corns, bum
ions and blisters blooming
where they never bloomed
before. Physicians, podia-
triStS and chiropodistS have
written to applaud my cam
paign for the return of sane
footwear for women.
I have heard from a few
very few women who say
they like the pointed shoes.
Fine! Let them wear them.
But there should be some
thing equally fashionable on
the market for those who
cannot wear pointed shoes
but have bought them out of
desperation.

And let's not forget the
effect of strong emotions.
Frustration and chronic
hostility and resentment
can produce chronic hives.
I shall never forget the
patient who had a most
severe case of intractable
hives for months. I could
not find the cause. Just
about when I and a con-
sulting dermatologist were
about ready to give up, did
she confess about a de-
teriorating marital problem.
This was the cause. And
when it was solved, her
wheals disappeared.
So you see, when diets,
antihistamines, corticoster-
oids and other medicines
don't help, never forget the
part your emotions may
play. Sometimes taking
tranquilizers and ironing out
an emotional turmoil are the
only remedies necessary for
obtaining effectual cure of
chronic hives.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
is meant by the term sub
sternal goiter?-MrS. T., De-
troit.
1T MEANS an enlargement
Of the thyroid gland under
the breast bone. In many
patients there are no symp-
toms. The doctor discovers
this condition when taking
a routine X-ray of the
chest. In others (due to the
pressure of the enlarged
thyroid on the oesophagus
and trachea) there may be
such complaints as 'hoarse-
ness, cough, Shortness of
breath, and difficulty in
swallowing.
A substernal thyroid can
be overactive, too. If this is
the case, the patient also
complains Of rapid pulse,
loss of weight, excessive
nervousness - and other
symptoms common when the
thyroid gland is overactive
(hyperthyroidiSm).
