choleSterol in a recent

hear that a high cholesterol

TOO MANY PEOPLE with
high readings are stepped in
anxiety and fear. Although
a high choleSterol is nothing
to pass off lightly, neither is
it something to cry about.

times been guilty of over

REPORTER
Centurion Still Was Puzzled

1t was cool in the morning
and where the wall Of Rome
indented on the southeastern
side. the two big gates were
in partial shadow. The
farmers came through here.
Some paused to watch the
two Christians crucified.
THE CENTURION sent
for an extra ladder and one
Of his men held the little
broken-nosed Christian up on
the gate while a second one
nailed him to it. The little
one cried out in anguish and
the centurion shook his head
in pity. The second Christian,
tall and emaciated and
frightened, was nailed to the
other gate and he wept be-
fore the spikes were driven.
A magistrate passed by,
and asked the centurion the
crime Of the crucified.
Christians" the officer said,
as though that explained
everything. "They follow
someone named Paul, who
comes from Tarsus. He
breaches this poison to the
people, and these little ones
follow to reap the multitude"
,"Ah," said the magistrate
in his wiSest tone. "And what
do they preach?" The CEN
turion chuckled. He slapped
his broadsword against his
bare thigh. "You would not
believe it, your excellency.
They preach love. They love
one another. It is q fever to
help each other for no
reward"
The chests Of the Christians
glistened with sweat. In the
afternoon, the centurion
looked up at them, on OPP
posite gates, and said: die.
Die so we can go home"
They did not die. Broken
Nose moaned all night and
the Frightened One wept as
the spikes pulled through his
wrists.
In the morning, the blue
shadows were there again.

very ugly temper. The first

His father used to beat
his mother up so bad she

his wife around, too. Is this a

family? I never thought I

The farmers and the transi-

through the gates. The cen
turion was red-eyed from
lack Of sleep. His men were
muttering.
The sun came up hot and
a green lizard crept along the
wall looking for a cool stone.

anguish. "Die." The Chris

BROKEN NOSE looked

nothing about dying. The law
is already fulfilled" The cen
turion shook his head.
Broken Nose said: "I will
make a pact with you. Free
my friend over there. Take
him down. Bind his wounds.

for you"
The officer said no. Then
he asked how he could be

to smile. IF I do not die," he
said, run a sword through
me as was done to my mes

The centurion did not like
bargains. But at last he
nodded to the soldiers to
take the other one down.
They did it swiftly. They
poured unguents on his
wounds and bound them and
gave him strong drink.
The Frightened One looked
up at his friend and burst
into tears. It required two
hours to get strong enough
to hobble away. Broken Nose
watched him go. Then he

Savings Bonds
Get Extension
BY the Associated Press

Holders of Series E and II
savings bonds bought in the
l94Os can keep them 10 years
longer at a higher interest
rate. s<s
The Treasury Saturday night
announced the second l0-year
extension of maturity for these
bonds. About 10 million Amefi-
cans hold them. The first of
the bonds will be 20 years ad
May /, and thereafter will eafn
3A per cent interest If held
for another 10 years.
A bond which cost the in
vestor SIS in May, 1941, Vas
worth $100 after the first 10
years. It will be worth $1o5!0A
if held until the end of the
second extension, 80 years from
date Of issue.
Treasury Secretary Dillon
said "in addition to benefitting
the bond holder, this action to
encourage him to retain .shiS
bonds will diminish the Treas
ury's problem of refinancing
the public debt. ="
Mr.. Dillon said it also would
h help counteract inflationary
forces by inSuring that a large
part of the national debt is
held by average citizens In
stead of by banks. Govern
ment securities held by banks
provide the basis for expansion
Of credit. :
The bonds affected were is
sued between May, 1941, and
May, 1919. They originally
earned 2.9 per cent if held for
10 years. In the first l0-yeak

Some time ago, I wrote
about the dangers of trying
to make a diagnosis by tele-
phone. It is an awful re-
sponsibility for the doctor
to assume and the patient
shouldn't expect him to take

simple illness over the
phone, may indeed be life
threatening, and what seems
to be a surgical emergency
may be something entirely
different.
CONSIDER THIS:
A man phoned the doctor
that their maid had terrible
stomach pains. The doctor
phoned the hospital to pre-
pare for an emergency ap-
pendectomy.
He sent the ambulance
for the unmarried girl, 30
years old. The doctor and

the hospital at the same
time. But the eight and one

THE DETAILS

Lola P.-What can be done
about a domineering and
self centered mother-in-
law? My husband vowed to
love, honor and obey me. not
her. When he doesn't do
what she says, she foments
trouble and hurts him.
But he constantly sticks
his neck out and goes back
for more. In any showdown
with me, he'll side with her.
He can't seem to put me in
the spotlight a wife
deserves.
We have two lovely daugh-
ters. Do you think his
mother and the in-laws ever
come to see them? No, we
must make the trips just be-
cause we have a car.
My mother = in law has
acted jealous of me from the
start. She fused over the
cost Of the engagement ring,
the apartment, and now our
little house.
Ferdinand P.-You can
imagine what's left of me
after I get torn apart by my
two women" But Lola could
make things. easier by not
pouncing on every little re-
mark uttered by my mother,
and making a Federal case!
It's true my mother was
hurt when I picked Lola. She
had another girl in mind for
me. She's old-fashioned and
can't get used to our inde-
pendence. My sisters still do
whatever she demands.
I can't change my mother
overnight. All the fuss is her
way Of getting back" at us.
So what? I give in on the
little things, but I side with
Lola on the big ones. My
mother had a fit when Lola's
parents gave us the down
payment on our house as q
wedding gift. But I've kept
up the payments.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Certainly there's room in
a mans life for both his
wife and his mother. The
need. the relationship, the
demands are. different and
distict, yet quite able to CO.
exist. We believe Lola should
be the juggler and keep the
heavy ball of disSension off
Ferdinand's head.
You vowed something, too,
Lola-to perform the duties
Of life together. AS q wife,
one Of these is to recognize
your husbands place as a son
to his mother. That sort Of
wife is always in first place.
Her husband adoreS her for
making his filial role easy.
Many wives would rather
visit the in-laws than en-
tertain them. Think Of all
the special housecleaning
and meal serving you're
spared by those trips in the
opposite direction!
AS Ferdinand reminds
Lola, he manages to get his
way on big issues. He asks
her to be charitable on small
ones.
Ferdinand knows the one
who really loves him is the
one who gives in!
