FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR
THREAT:

1nnLA1s
At one time, when George
Bernard Shaw was under
nervous tension, his doctor
prescribed sleeping pills, 50
that he would be sure to get
a nights rest. Shaw scoffed
at the idea Of taking medica-
ton to put him to sleep, but
his wife insisted.
The pills were delivered
each night by the local chem
ist. One night, when they
were late in arriving, Shaw
phoned the chemist and said
irritably:
If you don't deliver these
pills right away, I'm going to
sleep without them!"
PREFERENCE:
American artist John La
Fargo never could develop a
taste for music. On one oc-
casion, when a friend offered
him a ticket to the opera, La
Fargo said,
mo thanks, I don't care for
opra." -
"Oh7 Then what kind Of
music do you like?"
THE kind that makes the
heart sound" said the artist.

has known them for years.
On the other side Of town,
Sally Latham, a writer, sits
with two pillows propped be-
hind her in bed. She is COM
posing a poem and sometimes
a new line comes swiftly, and
sometimes 1t hides and de-
fies her.
1t is 1890 now, and the
street lights stare down at
empty macadam and con-
crete. In the dark, the or
anges and grapefruit ripen
on the trees and over at
Indian Greek golf course a
wild duck sits on a nest of
reeds and contemplates a
little lake and the freight
cars standing on a siding.
Fort Pierce is so quiet I
can hear an air conditioner
stop.

FAMILY COUNCIL

THE PROBLEM

Mona G.-My mother held

THE DETAILS
Mona G.-I have just re-

bands, wives, children, plus
whatever cousins and other
relations tagged along.
But 1t wasn't automatic.
1t was my mothers doing.

since no one has her family

for a wedding and once, alas,
for a funeral.

to wait for weddings, or

I don't agree with Mona
that 1t takes somebody's hard
work to keep a family to-

THE COUNCILS VIEW
One Of the wonderful
things about families Is that
they can be together with
out getting together. Even
without the elaborate gather
ings described by these sis
ters. there is q mystic unity
and telepathy.
So, what Mona and Peggy
are really lamenting is the
end Of the best-foot-forward
parties which provided q sort
Of therapy and a demonstra-
BILE "togetherness."
AS Peggy suggests, family
gatherings can continue with
no one going to more trouble
than mailing a few postcards
saying when and where.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Headaches and Emotion
By DR.. PETER J. sTENcRoHN

You give me a headache"
Is phrase used thousands of
times weekly. Each of us is
at the mercy of his emotions.
Wherever you find two peo-
pie or more in close proXim-
ity, it is always possible that
a headache will arise. The
tension headache is probably
the most common, and ten
sion is just the result of beat
up emotion. And although we
don't know everything about
the cause of migraine head
aches, we are certain that
mixed = up emotions often
trigger these attacks, too.
THERE is ANOT Their
form of Enthusiastically an
offshoot of tension headache
in which the cause is a
painful spaSm Of the Shoul-
der, scalp and neck muscles.
Consider. for instance how
a sensitive individual reacts
to a sudden insult. He seems
to vince all over. Almost like
a turtle, he withdraws his
head and neck into his shoul-
ders as If trying to hide. This
may produce a severe head
ache suddenly; or the back
wash of emotion may bring
on the headache hours later.
Mrs. T. Of Phoenix, Ariz.,
writes: IT'S hard to believe
that headaches are on an
emotional basis. Iisn't it more
likely that something is in
terfering with the machin-
cry, like constipation. eye
strain. or some other simple
maladjustment?"
BELIEVE ME, Mrs. T,
there's no question that emo
tionS can cause headaches. II
Iwere you, I'd stop taking pills
every day. Let your doctor
look you over to rule out any

physical trouble. If he finds
none, then review your emo
tional background. Some
where you may find the un-
suspecting cause and remove
it.
If you agree that there is
a strong link between emo
tions and headaches. you will
have taken the first impor-
tant step in treatment. Tran
guilty is a better prevention
and cure for headaches than
pills.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Now
that new forms Of drugs
have been invented to con-
troll diabetes, is it still nee
essary to diet and to take
insulin injections every day?
Mr.. u, New York.
PROPER DIET and insulin
injections are still the main
stays of controlling diabetes.
In many patients, there is
still a need for the regular
inSulin Cprotamin zinc, lente
inSulinS, etc..
1t is true that oral medi-
cine like tolbutamide pro-
duces good control in people
who require less than 40 units
Of regular insulin daily and
who are over 40 and Of nor
NAL weight. About so per
cent find they can get along
without injections.
1t is also true that pheno-
Iormln, taken by mouth, also
cuts down on regular insulin
requirements.
You may be Just the pa
tient who will do we'll with
out insulin, but never make
that decision on your own
just because you are tired
Of taking daily injections. Let
your doctor decide.
Don't fool around with dia-
betes. Don't set your body
up as a guinea pig and your
self as the scientist.

Nqht Life at Fort Pierce

FORT PIERCE, Flat is
10 pm. The town is asleep.
At the drive-in theatre one
big eye is open. A squad car
moves up Orange street past
the dark stores. No one is
on the sidewalk. At AIMS
Restaurant a man wipes the
crumbs from the counter.
The gas station across the
street has a night light on.
In the drugstore, the wom-
an behind the counter
yswnS and looks at the wall
clock. The big trailer trucks
roll up Route l from Miami
to New York. At this point,
they have covered 119 miles.
They move fast and, when
a green light changes to
orange, they snort with i'm
patience as they pull down.
Fort Pierce is a light.
THE COUNTY PRISON
has three floors. There are
two broken wicker rockers on
the porch. No one ever uses
them. No inmate is allowed
on the front porch. The place
Is dark and whitewashed and
somewhere inside q Negro
with a bass voice sings Mel
ancholy Baby" and the clear
notes feel their way through
the bars to the dark freedom
outside.
On the third floor rear,
Joseph Peel - a judge ac-
cused Of engineering the kill
ing Of a judge-sitS on the
edge Of his bunk looking out
at the parking lot below and
the beautiful Indian River
and the winking stars.
Diagoally across the
street Is the New Fort Pierce
Hotel, which isn't new. 1t has
broad marble flagstones run
ming through a big lobby. A
few elderly people sit before
the television set. A stout
woman fans herself with a
newspaper. 1t is a hot night.
There were lights on, nice
colored lights, a little while
in the lot on the far side.
The old men were playing
Shufflehoard and shouting
tauntS to each other. The
lights are out now. The old
men are in bed. A movie mar
quee spells out "the Great
1mposter." In the Swiss
Chalet, the slender cashier
with the rich smile adds up
the last Of the checks and,
in the kitchen, the neat
mattresses stack the last of
the dishes.
A big Florida East Coast
diesel pours through the city
southbound followed by SO
freight cars-a swaying boa
constructor with a headlight.
Over at Poor Bob's on Jen-
sons Beach, Ray Stone says:
1.-TWO beers and two liver
wurst sandwiches - with
onions, please. And mus
tard.'
The big man with the
briefcase-Phillip O'Connell,
States attorney-w walks
around the swimming pool to
rooms occupied by his legal
assistants. Mrs. O'Connell
calls out: "They have lights
on the putting green, Phil"
But she can't tempt him
from his work.
Over at South Twenty
ninth and Palm boulevard a
car backfires twice and dies
in front Of the First Freewill
Baptist Church and the
young man at the wheel dies
a little, too, because he Just
bought it, and he just Dragged
about it, and now his girl
sits in silence and stares at
him. She says: What now,
