DEAR ABBY: Your SYM
pathetic letter to "Ex-
hausted Daughter" whose
mother was deaf. fell on deaf
ears to me. Belive me, there
are none so deaf as those
who will not hear. I have
heard all the excuses: I'm
too old to learn to use a
hearing aid. They're too noisy
and make me nervous. They
give me a headache, etc" It's
all balnoney!
My aunt ruined her daugh-
ter's life because of deafness.
The poor girl used to rush
home from her job, do the
marketing and run all the
errandS. She was literally
chained to her hard-of- hear
ing mother. This girl was a
beauty, but she never married
because she had no social life.
Tell those deaf people to try
a hearing aid. And if that
doesn't work, go to speech
class and learn to lipread!

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
20, married, and have two
children. I've had a terrible
time with my nerves for the
past three years. I have a
peculiar jumping sensation
under my left breast. which
worries me a lot. My doctor
says my heart is all right
and that it's just plain
nerves. This jumping SEN
sation occurs quite frequently
and leaves me hot. flushed.
weak and sick at my stomach.
I have had two GI series.
two gall bladder tests, two
electrocardiograms and a me-
tabolism test. I had a hySte-
rectomy year ago and a
hemorrhoid operation three
months ago.
With it all, I've been work.
ing in a manufacturing plant
for four years. I'm really not
neurotic, just scared. Will
you tell me what effect does
alcohol have on a nervous
stomach and nervous heart?
MRS. M.
UNLESS YOU believe your
doctor and have complete
faith in what he tells you,
a good bet is that you'll go
on being anxious and fright
ened for many years.
If he tells you your heart
is normal, chances are that
the skips you are having are
what we call extrasystoles or
premature contractionS. They
may occur in healthy hearts.
Sometimes they last for only
hours; in some patients for
years. But they are not life
shortening even though I ad-
nit they're sometimes not
easy to put up with-as in
your case.
If you are thinking of TAX
ing alcohol Cor are already
doing so) to overcome your
distress my advice is DON'T.
You won't be helping your
heart, your nerves or your
general health. All you will
be doing is adding another
problem-perhaps more Seri-
ous-to what you already
have.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: In
one of your recent columns
you advised people to go to
their doctor for early dag
nosis of arthritis. But I know
six persons who have done
that only to be told there is
nothing that can be done for
arthritis except to take as
pirin. Two of these persons
were given the information
at one of the best known
medical clinics in the United
States. So what is the good of
going to your doctor if that
is the best he has to offer?-
Mrs. S.
I'LL REPEAT WHY early
diagnosis in arthritis- is SC
important. Many patients are
content to suffer their
rheumatism" because they
develop a defeatest attitude
like yours. And often they
suffer for years unnecessarily
One person who think he
has arthritis really is Suf'

The Sonto Borboro Air
Mr.. Cogley believes that govern
ment officials particularly would
benefit much by removal from the
frantic atmosphere of their offices
to the larger life of the Center at
Santa Barbara, where they could
mediate on the principles which
underlie their constant, often snap
decisions One experiment along
these lines - the Importation of
several members of the White
House staff in 1959-was not a
total success. Instead of thinking
long thoughts, the staff members
spent all their time defending
President Eisenhower.
One of Mr.. Cogley's own long
range personal projects is ponder
ing the effect of great natural
beauty on the American charac-
ter. In Santa Barbara some of the
lawns are made of geraniums and
the hedges of daisies. The sun
shines necessarily and a fresh
breeze blows off the sea. Both he
and Mrs. Cogley, natives of Chi
cago, and later residents of
Brooklyn, are still mysteriously
disconnected by the good cheer of
the tradesmen and artisans of
Santa Barbara. They never
thought they would live to see a
beaming plumber, yet that is the
only kind that turns up on their
doorstep these days.

BY GEORGE w. CAKES
Contributing Writer

After the Russian achievement
with Sputnik in 1857 the Govern
tnent became concerned over the
training of our future scientists
and Congress passed legislation to
help. The first step was to raise
the quality of science and mathe-
maticS teaching. What progress
has been made? Is something so
basically intangible already show
ing results?
A survey shows that through
the efforts Of educators, schools,
colleges and foundations, there
have been important develop
ments. The Government itself -
through the National Science
Foundation and the National
Defense Education Act-haS, Of
course, been playing vital and
increasingly essential role in
stimulating and financing the
whole field of science and mathe-
maticS education in the schools
and colleges.
The major and most dramatic
advances are at the secondary
school level. Remarkable progress
has been made both in the up
ward revision Of the science and
mathematics curriculum by, for
example, the development and use
OF completely new courses Of
study, and also in a wide-ranging
program throughout the country
for better teacher training. These
two factors more advanced
courses Of study and more COM
petent teaching - which have
reached significant proportions
even in the last few years are
already having their effect. AS
better prepared science and
mathematics high school students
are moving into the colleges,
programs of higher education are
consequently being improved.
DR.. Harry e. Kelly, associate
director of the National Science
Foundation in charge of educa-
tional activities, has been largely
responsible for initiating the foun-
dation'S new science curriculum
and for originating its science
teacher institutes.
Enrolment Figures
Enrolment figures among
school and college students taking
science and mathematics have not
greatly increased beyond the gen.
eral rise in attendance figures for
the country as a whole. However.
educators generally agree that
this is not a cause for concern.
Their main reason for satisfaction
Is that the schools and colleges
are now doing much better job

"One Of the tragedies of the war
was the suffering of troops while
waiting for supplies of clothing,
tents, medicine and food, which
were stuck in swamps."
Cumberland Rood
After the War of 1912 the Gov
ernment saw its own responsibility
more clearly and pledged funds to
complete the Cumberland Road
from Cumberland. Md. to VAN
dalia, Ill. The heyday of canals
and railroads later in the century
slowed highway construction, but
it resumed at rapid pace when
the auto made it's entrance.
Federal matching funds for
highway construction were made
a permanent program in this
country during World War I,
partly prompted by wartime
transport needs. partly by the new
swarm Of autos and trucks.
World War II and the Korean
campaign had a hand in Uncle
Sans latest giant effort, the Al
000-mile Federal Interstate High
way System, due to be completed
in 1875.
In fact, when lawmakers ap-
proved it in 1856, they gave it the
title National System Of Inter-
state and Defense Highways"
Today nearly $4,000 miles of
the system are now open to traf-
fic and contractors are complet-
ing new sections at the rate Of
200 miles a month.
The Direct Benefits
Economists today bear out the
truth of WaShington's words.
They estimate that the direct
benefits to the user are three
times the cost Of highway con-
struction. The figure is the result
of a four-year study for Congress
by the United States Bureau of
Public Roads, to help decide
whether Uncle Sam should spend
more billions upgrading the pres
ent ,000-mile system of Federal
aid highways.
Among direct benefits Of good
roads, the study found, were in
travelling time and lower operat-
ing costs for truckers and private
motorists.
And it's saving more than pock-
etbooks and frayed nerves. In a
recent message to Congress, Presi-
dent Kennedy reported that the
Al, 900 mile system because of its
careful engineering and elimina-
ton Of traffic hazards will save
an estimated 1000 lives a year.

How Much Science Teaching Has Improved

and 144 math projects costing
$4,000 were approved. Cardozo
High Schools planetarium is per-
haps the most dramatic acquisition
although microscopes have been
the most popular piece of equip
ment obtained through the Federal
matching fund program. This new
equipment has involved the stu
dent more deeply in the subject
through more demonstration in
struction and greater use of the
laboratory.
This provision of the National
Defense Education Act has been
so successful that the administra-
ton is asking for increased au-
thority to provide science and
math equipment for States where
the high schools can show a need
for it
Stote-by-Stote Reaction
The widespread national value
of up-to- date science and math
equipment is shown by the fol-
lowing reports from various States
that have been using it:
District - "NDEA equipment :
helps them put new knowledge
into use in their classrooms.
Arkansas - Equipment. which
was unknown in many schools,
is now available for teacher use.
No longer is science in Arkansas
a haphazard program; it is be-
coming laboratory course where
students have an opportunity to
do individual experimental work"
CalifOrnia-"From 1856 to 1859
math enrollments increased 44.2
per cent land science enrollments
58.4 per cent? compared to a 27.4
per cent increase in total enroll
ments. One of the reasons is
NDEA."
Kentucky-"It is our belief that
had it not been for NDEA, many
of our local school districts would
not have been able to have pro-
vided the present level of science
instruction for many years to
come"
Alabama-"There has been a
definite awakening of interest in
science courses at all levels and
more students are enrolling in
science courses and expressing a
preference for careers in science"
Despite these favorable reactions,
more community interest is re-
quired to see to it that science and
math teachers adequately use the
new equipment that is being made
available In this connection the
Office Of Education is conducting
pilot projects in 10 States at the
request of local school and citi-
zen groups to help them raise the
level of science instruction.
