Shock Treatments HeIp Moy

thinks he's all right. The
whole world is crazy"
- -
Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
There's too much cancer
around. I think it's up to
people to live so that cancer
will not attack them. The
Bible says that "the body is
the temple of the SOUL"
Therefore, it should be re-
Spected. People fill their
bodies over-full with all
kinds of food, alcoholic
drink and Smoke-until the
contents of their bodies are a
rotten mess on which cancer
feeds. Can't you drum some
sense into their heads? Sin
cerely, Mrs. G., Illinois.
UNFORTUNATELY, we're
still fighting an adversary
whose origin we don't know;
neither are we sure of his
netarious ways of growth.
It's like trying to make proper
social contact with someone
who always lives behind an
iron curtain. One minute
you think you know him; the
next you don't.
If I believed that food,
alcohol and smoke were
causes of cancer, I'd not only
start drumming, I'd keep
shouting it from the roof
tops. Unfortunately, we doc
tors are stumped, too. But
we are on the trail. One day
we will find the culprit and
shackle him. For the present,
I suggest you discard your
theory of the cause of cancer.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have read recently several
letters printed in your COL
umn from sufferers of
chronic anxiety. One lady
was terribly afraid of peo-
pie" Another said: "I live
under such a strain 1 can't
stand it any longer. I must
be going crazy"
I'm wondering, DR.. Stein
crohn, why you haven't sug-
gested shock treatments. In
cidentally, 1 have read state
ments by pSychiatrists that
neuroSes never become psy-
chooses. So can't you tell these
people they definitely won't
"go crazy"? Sincerely, Mrs.
", California.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T
make specific recommended
tionS for individual patients,
Mrs. V. That is the reason
why 1 can't tell a Mr.. K. or
Mrs. Y. that he or she ought
to have shock treatments.
But your letter gives me
the opportunity to comment
in a general way. There's no
question that electro-shock
therapy has restored thou
sands to normal living.
Whenever I refer a patient TO
a psychiatrist who decides
that such treatment is nee
essary, I recomme nd it
heartily to the patient and
members of his family.
Too many are afraid of the
stigma which they think is
associated with such treat
mentS. They will accept the
knife for surgery, a plaster
cast for a broken leg with
out question. But shock
tr e a ments? They fight
against this suggestion. Some,
because of the expenses in
volved; others because they
have heard you lose your
memory permanently; and
still others because they
think it is painful and dam
gerouS.
If shock treatments are
beyond your means, you can
have them in a hospital clinic.
Memory may be impaired
only for a few days or weeks.
With modern methods and
machines, the treatment it.
self is usually painless. In
most cases, you don't have to
stay in the hospital. You
can get shock treatments in
the pSychiatrist's office. After
resting for a while, the
patient is allowed to return
home.
What you say about nerv-
Gus people not going crazy
is usually true. Whenever
an anxious patient wonders
about that, I say to him:
"The fact that you mention
it is proof enough. Only
the psychotic patient never
questions his sanity. He

Baseball Widows Warm Up

DEAR ABBY: Your ad-
vice to Bored" (the mother
of five whose husband was a
nut on baseball) hit an all
time low. When the husband
sits around with the tran
sistor radio plugged into his
ear while his poor wife is
dying for adult companion-
ship, you tell her to work on
needlepoint or take a bubble
bath. Really!
My advice would have been:
when your husband comes
home and settles down on the
couch with his radio, get all
dressed up and leave him
with the dirty dishes and the
kids. Go to visit friends or
to a double-feature movie,
and don't hurry home" I'll
bet after you did that a few
times, your husband would
find time to talk to you.

Matthias Introduces
Resolution ON Fuels

A resolution which would create
a committee to study the problem
of maintaining adequate supplies
of fuel and energy resources in all
forms in the United States. was
introduced in the House of Repre-
sCntatiVes on Wednesday,, January
Is. by Charles Nice Matthias Jr.,
representative from the Sixth dis
trict. 1t was referred to the com
mittee on rules.
Mr.. Matthias points out that csti-
mates forecast that by 1880 the
population of the United States
would increase to two hundred and
fifty million people and that the
consumption of fuel and energy
resources would increase by nearly
100 percent that such study
would determine the amounts and
availability of all such fuel and
energy resources and determine
their limitation
The committee would be known
as the Joint Committee on a Ma
tional Fuels Study" to be COM
posed of eight members of the
Senate and eight members of the
House.
It's purpose would be to make
full investigation of the problem
and make a report of their find
ings and their recommendation
and to determine where an overall
national fuels policy would be
necessary.
The committee would report to
Congress not later than January l.,
1868, after which it would be dis
charged The resolution calls for
expenses of the joint committee
not to exceed 100000 per year.

1861 Welfare Board
Budget Explained

The county welfare board.
through its director, Robert W.
Stemple, explained its 1861 budget
this week to people of the county
and gave resume of what was
spent in 1860.
The board in 1860 spent $685.
1921 for public assistance grants
other services and administration
The county provided S57,574.32
with $l1333214 coming from state
funds and S218,2S675 being fur
Eished through federal funds.
Mr. Stemple said the amount
spent in 1860 was S55.4l326 less
than estimated budgetary require
ments of S444 .6O647. The commits
sioners had appropriated S62,-
545.82 while S57,574.32 was spent,
leaving a balance of S497l5O in
county funds at the end of the
year.
The budget, or the estimate for
1861 totals S44308O04 with federal
funds amounting to S236.433 SO,
from the state S137,834. 36. and $685.
SLIP from the county. The esti-
mated total for 1861 is 81 ,52643 less
the 1860 estimate. The estimated
amount of county funds required
for 1861 is S68.8ll72 and is Sill
237.40 more than the total amount
of county funds spent in 1860.
There are several reasons for the
increased cost. Mr. Stcmple as
serted The establishment Of a

for cmployablcs which may be-
come effective after July |. 1861
and continue through 1861 at a

Life preservers" for people

popular summer sports, SWIM

2-Stay out of the water when
overheated, for an hour after
eating, and during electrical
storms.
3-Stay away from the area i'm
