There was no joy in Sea

a pawnbroker's heart. The
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Control group did it. A
drunk had been served a
drink. And drunks, under the
rules. aren't supposed to get
drinks. although how a drunk
can do it without drinks
beats me. Anyway, it tossed
Sully out of business for two
weeks, put Bill and Emmet

two mynah birds, Willie and
Silky, on unemployment in
Surance.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Know How to Be Good Visitor?
BY DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

II takes a certain talent to
be a good visitor. You must
not be a bore. 1t is important
that you do not stay too long,
sit on the patients bed, fill
the room with smoke; you
must be cheerful and hopeful
and make sure not to labor
your sick friend with tales
Of your own sad experiences
with illness. For example,
consider the following letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
wish to enlist your help on
Behalf Of those patients who
ATe recovering from broken
bones. Having Just emerged
myself, I know what many
have to go through.
Why is it that the sight Of
crutches, an arm in a sling,
or q foot in a cast invariably
brings on a detailed account
Of someone your friend or
neighbor knows who fell off
a horse five years ago, or
slipped on the ice, or toppled
down the steps and broke
more bones than you ever
knew existed?
You have already been
through enough with your
own broken bone and have
suffered long and tediously.
You want to laugh again, to
look on the bright side if
Evening star., 1962-04-27

people win only let you. You
are tired Of pain, Of being
disabled and the things aSso-
ciated with long recovery.
You want to hear something
that is pleasant and cheer
full, a happy experience, any,
thing. Oh anything at all ex-
cept about aches and pains!
Please DR.. Steincrohn,
warn those people who can't
resist recalling these unfor-
tunate incidents at the sight
Of a crutch.-MiSS H.
IT'S DIFFICULT to please
everybody. I recall one pa
tient who was very much put
out with a visitor who had
sat there for hours talking
about the international sit
uation" and about every
thing else under the sun eX-
cept my illness. You'd think
that he'd at least bring up
the subject of my operation
so I could talk about it q
little" However, I get your
point, Miss H.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: We
have a mongoloid child. Our
problem is whether to raise
him at home as one of the
family or to place him in an
institution. We have grown to
love him but are concerned
Evening star., 1962-04-27

about the effects on our other
two normal children. Will you
advise?-Mrs. H.
PERHAPS I can help you
make up your mind by quot
ing from an article which ap-
peared originally in. the
Quarterly Review of Pediat-
RIGS and was written by Ru-
dolph P. Hormuth, a member
Of the Association for the
Help Of Retarded Children:
When parents are properly
instructed, home care Of the
mongoloid child Is no more
difficult than for any other
retarded child. Such children
are initiative, pleasant and
affectionate and not given to
emotional outbursts. Even
with an 10 as low as IS, the
mongoloid child can partici-
pate in family and commun-
ity activities, take care Of
daily needs, learn to read and
write, and earn pocket money.
THE effect on normal
brothers and sisters is not
harmful. Only when improp-
erly conditioned by attitudes
and anxieties of parents are
they apt to be injured by the
relationship. Results are best
when normal children are al
lowed to participate in aiding
the mongoloid child"
Your decision as parents
will depend, I think, on your
own emotional makeup. 1t
might not be so easy as it
sounds if you or your hus-
band are so constituted that
the added daily pressures
would cause emotional ex-
plosions in the family. How
ever, in view of the fact that
so many families have made
excellent adjustments to a
mongoloid child, I think you
will feel better giving it a

lar bill. and was given 10
cents change. :" 1t doesn't
sound like Sullivan's.
The agents said the drunk
went to the phone booth and
tried several times to dial a
number. The fact that Sui
livan's didn't have a dial
phone at the time is of small
moment. The point is that
he was apparently drunk"
and he was served, not one,
but two scotches. The agents
confiscated the second one
without paying the man.
The ABC then called a To-
cal policeman, John keenan,.
The agents asked keenan, to
give the customer a sobriety
test. keenan,, who knows his
business, refused because the
customer was not driving a
car, causing a commotion or
breaking a law. At the hear
ing, keenan, testified that, in
his opinion, the customer was
no. drunk. An insurance bro
ker said he saw the whole
thing and the customer was
not drunk. A lady said she
saw it and the customer was
not drunk. The BARTENDER also
swore that the man was not
drink.
Still, William Howe Davis,
who sat in judgment on the
case, says: 1T is we'll estab-
liShed that whether a man is
sober or intoxicated is a mat
ter of common observation,
not requiring any special
knowledge or skill I do not
believe this. I'm a nom drink

er and I often clown and
have fun in saloons. Would
Davis accept the word Of Sc
cret agents that, because I
acted silly, I was drunk?
Does Davis think the pub
lie goes to these places to
conduct prayer meetings2
They go to drink. A bartender
is going to need a degree in
psychiatry if he is expected
to spot the drunks before
they get drunk.
ONCE 1 WROTE a book on
alcoholism. 1t was called The
Glass Crutch" and it was in
dorsed by the American PSy-
chiatric Association. I am as
opposed to drunkenness as
the ABC. Maybe more so,
because if drinking goes out
of style, Mr.. Davis and the
secret agents will be out Of
work. I find myself on the
side of the ABC but opposed
to the method of checking
the saloonkeeper.
In any agency, State or
Federal, where the accused is
not eprmitted to know the
name of his accusers. the
agency is open to arrogance
and graft.
In this case, I feel no sor-
row for Sullivan. He's loaded
When he shoots pool, he's the
only man I know who has to
dim his diamonds before he
makes his shot. No. my pity
goes to the mynah birds. For
two weeks they saw nothing
but daylight and it nearly
blinded them.

Stock Prices
Give Ground
Grudging|y.

NEW YORK, April 3 (AP)-
The stock market gave ground
grudgingly in moderate trading
late this afternoon.
Losses Of most key stocks
were fractional. A few went to
a point or so.
The market was lower from
the start, but seemed to be
running into increasing resist
ance. Some market analysts
noted that a number of blue
chips were fighting declines. /"
This was apparent among
the mixed Steels, motors, oils
and mail order retailS. Several
moved narrowly higher after
early losses.
The general atmosphere in
Wall Street was still heSitant.
Although steel production was
up in the latest week, comment
was that the steel agreement
would mean a slackening of
output in the weeks to come,
since the fear of a strike had
been removed.
Prices were irregular on the
American Stock Exchange.
Corporate and Government
bonds moved higher in mod
crate trading.
