Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
mother has recently been told
by her physician that she
has diabetes. 1t was dis
covered during a routine ex-
animation, although she had
no symptoms. The doctor
prescribed the new pills in
stead of insulin and told her
to eliminate starches and
sweets. Isn't it unusual not
to have symptoms? And what
do you think of the new
pills instead Of inSulin?-
Mrs. F. G. R.-Baltimore.
NO, 1T ISN'T UNUSUAL
not to have symptoms (exces-
sive thirst, great appetite,
frequent urination, loss of
weight. etc. In fact. we esti-
mate that there are at least
/ million unrecognized dia-
betics in the United States.
Many Of these are unaware
of it because they don't yet
have symptoms. Often. when
symptoms come. the patient
is already having the compli-
cations Of diabetes.
AS for the new pills. I
presume you mean the anti
diabetes drugs like diabenese,
Orinase, and Dbl. When in
dicated, they are fine. Es-

II you listen to a television
report Of the weather most
any evening you will notice
how often the weather eX-
pert reveals himself as a sun
worshiper.
I'm sorry I can't promise
you much sun for tomorrow"
he will intone in funereal
tones. "but"-and here his
face will beam and his teeth
gleam-"by Friday the sky
should clear and that good
old sun will be out again."
THIS, / SUBMIT, is biased
television reporting. 1t is fla
grantly editorial. 1t is one
sided. It is shamefully pro-
sun. and it makes the ludi-
crous assumption that all
listeners and viewers depend
on a glaring sun for fun and
peace Of mind.
1t is high time that the
Federal Communications
Commission took note of this
prejudiced weather reporting.
1t should issue new direc-
tives instructing TV weather
reporters to stick strictly to
the facts and not take sides
about Old Sol.
Because there are, OF course,
two sides.
In midsummer, after a long
dry spell, millions of farmers
from coast to coast pray for
rain. When they snap on TV
at night and watch helplessly
while a handsome weather
reporter suavely promises an
other day Of gorgeous sunny
weather." they could joyously
scalp the happy announcer
in mid-sentence.
Values get muddied up in
winter too. Snow and slush
may be rough on the city
dweller as he slides and slips
from home to office, but
they're often a boon in the
country when the ground is
too hard and dry.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
BY PETER J. STEINCROHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have been having severe pain
in my right shoulder for the
past two weeks. I think it
must be bursitis. I haven't
been to my doctor but have
been taking calcium and Wit
amin D that a friend sug-
geSted. Will you give me
some advice.-MrS. j. B.,
Boston.
IT'S EASY TO LOSE pa
tience with people who are
sick and take the advice Of
well-meaning but medically
uninformed neighbors. But
why should I do so in your
case, Mrs. J. B.. when thou
sands of people are guilty Of
tampering with their own
machines?
Therefore calmly and
without loss of temper-I
give you this advice: See your
doctor.
First. you must know II
you really have brusitis. AS
most people know. bursitis
is an inflammation of the
little lubricating sacs which
help keep the joint in proper
working order. Often there is
an abnormal collection of cal
cium which complicates and
aggravates matters.
It's important to treat bur-
sits early. In many cases
the use of cold applications,
wearing a sling and taking
aspirin will clear up the con-
dition within a few weeks.
Sometimes taking Phenylbut-
azone helps.
If the pain persists, do not
wait too long to take other
meausres. Otherwise you may
get a frozen joint" The pain
prevents normal motion and
after a while the shoulder
becomes stiff. You can't raise
your hand even a few inches.
At this stage, a series of
X-ray treatments or injec-
tionS into the bursa of ster-
oids are often helpful. Some
times needing the bursa and
breaking up the calcium de-
poSits cuts short the attack.
Keep remembering the i'm
portance Of regular exercise

be treated as a matter of su-
preme Importance. And II the
single woman hopes some day
to have a husband, the ac-
QUESTION Of a roommate is
the finest favor she can do
her future spouse. Fifty-fifty
living must be learned the
hard way.
Compatibility is all-impor-
tant. Odd as 1t may seem,
however. liking all the same
things isn't so essential as
deSpising certain things in
concert like encrusted,
day-old dishes in the sink.
The only way to make a
fair assessment of a suitable
roommate is to put aside all
friendly feelings. and submit
the candidate in question to
the acid tests - as follows:
Is she solvent? Is she 60
ing steady? Is it likely that
she'll stay single-o. at least
until the lease is up? Will
she be a social asset or a
parasite? Does she drink too
much? Does she frown too
much on drinking? What
kind of friends will she con-
tribute to the social scene?
Is she a sickly sort? Does she
really like your monkey and
your six Maltese?
A fellow-worker would, Of
course, be company commut-
ing, but companionship can
easily be overdone. On the
other hand, a bunkmate in
another office - or, better
yet, another business - will
contribute more to the rela-
tionship than merely half the
rent. She'll bring home new
ideas from different fields,
and know a flock of people
who will help to piece out
party lists.
Establishing a few COM
mandmentS at the start elm
mates a lot of trouble later.

fewest problems when it
comes to sharing costs. 9th
er debts are not as easily di-
vided. For example, splitting

Also, a staffless building

women over-SenSitive about
their status. They'll learn to

DOWN ON THE FARM
NWeothermon Gets
His Come-Upponce

Livestock. plant life and
indeed human beings need
moisture the four seasons of
the year. a point that the
TV weather men seem to have
overlooked.
Under the new FEC direc-
tive, as envisioned in the
name of objectivity, we would
see and hear experts go on
something like this:
FOLKS, WE'VE GOT
GREAT news for you this eve
ming weatherwise. The next
two days will be WONDER
FULLY rainy days: a real
nice hard downpour is pre-
dicted from a gorgeous storm
coming out of Canada. This
means. of course, that the
parched farmland in this
geographical area will get the
moisture it needs and crops
will be saved.
And that means. in turn,
folks, that the farmers will
be happy, bless their long
suffering souls. and food
prices will NOT have to 60
up due to shortages, and
we'll all continue to eat we'll
from the nations healthy

Doesn't that make more
sense than a blanket indorse-
ment Of the sun day after

Part K

Part X
Before the single woman
starts to shape a way of life,
she first must make a firm
decision on where to live.
With very few exceptions. the
ancestral hearth is automat-
ically excluded from con-
sideration. A house that's full
Of family is just about the
poorest base of operations for
the bachelor girl.
For many, the solution oft
en- seems to be the Club"
Every city is rife with resi-
dental clubs" - the kind OF
all-girl caravansaries that
call themselves exclusive" in
the ads. The rooms look
pleasant in the pictures. and
the text makes tacit promise
of a neat and tidy life. Moth
er likes the line that reads.
THE most RESPECTABLE
address a girl can give"
In time that latter gets to
be a roaring bore. Around the
microscopic cavities (w h C h
angle-shots made look like
roomS), naught is heard but
girlish giggles and girlish
sobS. No male foot ever sui
lies any floor above the first.
Downstairs. in the social
lounge" the ladies are al
lowed to entertain their male
callers - till 10 pm. that -,
and with the door discreetly
open. Since the lights are
bright. the sofa slab-like, and
the stream of traffic reminis-
cent of a subway rush, it's
seldom that a man is duped
a second time into this den
of absolutely no iniquity.
But even more Is at stake
than male escorts. The club.
she soon discovers. is a men
ace to the very independence
that 1t promised. Much as
she may wish to stand aside.
a resident must league herself
with some one Of the several
cliques that exist in such es-
tablishments. AS a loner.
she's regarded as an enemy
by all.
Becoming a joiner, on the
other hand, equips her. willy
nilly, with a host of bosom
buddies that she hardly even
knows. All too soon, she
learns that members Of the
same cabal within a club are
true collectivists; everybody
shares and shares alike - in
Guiding those who don't con-
tribute.
It's understandable that
high school girls should hang
around in gangs, committing
gaucheries. and all the other
stunts - the swapping and
the gabfests and the midnight
feasts what fun it is to
flaunt the rulesD. At 35 or
40. though, the girls" who
still engage in the inanitieS Of
adolescence seem not only
shallow but the slightest bit
obscene.
An apartment is undoubt-
edly the answer, but apart
mentS are expensive too. She

sharing it, and splitting
costs, with someone else. The

writ en- by Mr. Lee Meriwether.
Our immediate reaction was that
Mr.. Lee had died and we were
very sorry he was dead - and
sorry, too, that he had died be-
fore we had achieved the privi-
lege of meeting him.
We took the trouble to look up
the back issues for a week and
finally found the editorial writ
ten by Oliver Emmerich contain
ing the prayer which inspired
the letters. The prayer written
by MeriWether is being reprint
ed with comment of our own on
the editorial page this week. We
believe our readers will find the
prayer interesting.
Editor Emmerich gives us this
Information about Mr.. Meri-
weather:
He was born in Columbus,
Mississippi on Christmas Day in
1853. Now living in st. Louis,
he is in his goth year.
Author of several widely
known books, he is widely ira
veled and today remains very
much alert to the world in which
he lives, maintaining an active
interest in everything.
Mr.. MeriWether says he has
never been able to believe in a
personal God - and apparently
he does not expect ever to be
able to do so. In a letter to Mr..
Emmerich recently he said:
"When Voltaire, Ingersoll and
other noted Atheists died, it was
said they repented on their death
bed and implored God for mercy.
The story is probably false, but
even were it true it would not
be important, for men can not
be Judged by what they say and
do when they are i'll or diving.
| do not know what I will say
or Go when l am mentally i'll,
but today when my health is
good and my mind is clear, I
am not able to believe there is
a Supreme Being who is aware
of my existence and has power
to grant or deny mems prayers"
The prayer of the Unbeliever
should be read. It will make
you more appreciative of your
own faith.

Building Local Business
What Makes People Leave Home To Trade!

The quality of all institutions in a
community is directly related to the
health Of local business enterprises.
When business dwindles, the goods
and services available to the people of
the community diminish as the most gift
ed and able persons move on to greener
pastures = and too often what's left is
the u~n-ambitious, or downright mediocre.
Schools, recreation facilities, cultural
c~enters, and service institutions are but
reflections of the wealth created in trade
and industry - and we can't have one
without the other.
No wonder, then, that the "trade-at-
home" drives consume SO much atten-
tion in many communities. The vitality
of a community suffers in many ways
when its citizens are drawn to distant
shopping c~enters.
When prices and services in the local
community are competitive with those in
other trade ~centers, who should be blamed
when local money flows out Of town..
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1961-02-09

The chamber of commerce? Perhaps,
if the organization does nothing to pro-
mote the community. The newspaper?
Perhaps, if the newspaper does not give
editorial and news space to encourage
local trade.
Or, is the local consumer RESPONSE
BILE? Perhaps, if the consumer is not
actually getting more for his money away
from home.
But much too often the loss of
trade is an advertising failure for
which the merchant himself is re-
sp0nsible.
When a consumer goes to a dis
tant shopping center, some kind Of
advertising has convinced him that
he will get a better deal there. The
Only sound answer to the problem is
counter-advertising by local mer-
chants which tells specifically about
the quality and prices Of merchandise
in the local market.
