DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: In answer
to SMALL QUARREL: Sew
eral years ago / worked with
a man who once said to me,
I'D give anything if my wife
would greet me when I get
home from work. and make
me feel she's glad I'm home"
He said he'd never tell her
because If he had to ASK
her. it wouldn't be the same.
Sometime later he and an
other man went on a fishing
trip. Their jeep went out of
control and he was killed.
At 50! I've never forgotten
this. Now, every time I see
his still-young widow, I think
Of all the wonderful oppor-
tunitieS for affection she
passed up, and how now, if
she could hear his footsteps
on the porch. or his key in
the lock, she'd come running,
and throw herself into his
arms.
Please don't use my name
because the widow has never
known this. So. to SMALL
QUARREL, BE glad your

husband TOLD you he want
ed to be greeted at the door.
And do it with love, not a
sense of duty" Thanks for
printing this. Abby. I would
not miss your column for the
world. LII.
DEAR ABBY: I just came
back from two years in the
service overseas. All the time
I was gone I wrote to my girl
back home. I'm not much Of
a talker, Abby. What I mean
is, I can say something bet
ter in a letter than I can In
person. I guess it's because
I am on the shy side. My girl
is also on the shy side. Please
don't think I'm stupid, but I
honestly don't know what
words to use when I ask her
to marry me. If you will tell

MASON ON EDUCATION
High Schools Speed
Pre-CoIIeqe Work

1900 students took ad-
vanced placement tests.
These courses are a chal-
lenge to the better students.
If standard high school work
has been too easy for them,
these courses help prepare
them for college work.
There Are Hazards -
Parents and students, how
ever, should be aware Of the
hazards.
Colleges have no obliga-
ton to give special attention
to students taking these
courses. Competition is keen.
Grades sometimes range
from A to D. w..
Grades are so important to
college admission that some
students risk their future by
electing advanced college
placement courses.
Recognizing this, the
Western Regional Member
ship Of the College Entrance
Examination Board recon-
mends that when a student
who has been placed in such
a course fails to perform at q
suitable level. his counselors
consider transferring him to
regular classes. 0
For some students, 1t may
be more profitable to fill out
their programs with standard
high school courses in Ian
guage, literature, history,
economies. tipping. art, music,
etc.
This added background for
the students college fresh
man courses may be more
important to his ultimate
success than advanced place
ment.
College catalogs often con-
tain lists Of recommended
courses as well as those re-
quired. High school seniors
should consider not only the
required college freshman
courses but also subjects
which will round out their
preparation.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CRITICISM: During his
years as a film producer, Sir
Alexander Korda learned that
1t was impossible to please
everybody. There were always
self-appointed critics ready
to belittle any achievement.
Korda's first three pictures
as a big time producer were
smash hits. His critics scoffed
at his success, pointing out
that the pictures were strictly
commercial in nature.
Korda's next three films
were top-flight artistically.
but flops at the box office.
His critics accused him of
going highbrow and reminded
him that movies were meant
to make money.
Korda's next picture had
wide appeal and was a big
money maker. But his critics
weren't silenced. 1t was a
good enough picture, they
conceded, but scarcely worthy
of a Korda.

Gold in Your Attic
Canadian Western Valuable
BY VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

The literature of the Cana
dian Western frontier is Just
as scarce as the Western
materials Of the United
States. but it rarely attracts
high prices in the collectors
market.
Nevertheless, as this more
slowly developing area ma
lures and the population in
creases. the probability is
that Canadiana will become
increasingly in demand.
One Of the scarcer items on
the Canadian West is the

FISHING

The Potomac is not the only
stream in which the Fish and
Wildlife Service is hoping to
extend the shad, herring and
striped bass runs.
Over on the Susquehanna.
there is the same hope but the
situations are not analogous.
The Potomac has a fishway. at
Little Falls dam. The SusQue-
hanna does not.
Primary problem in the Po-
tomac is to restore the migra-
tory fishes instinct to seek the
headwaters. On the Susque-
hanna, it's to get them over
the giant Conowingo and other
dams.
There have been several
studies of the Susquehanna,
but results Of the latest will
not be made public until Au-
gust 20 at Harrisburg, Pa. The
study was made by Milo C.
Bell, q biologist from Seattle,
Wash, and Marian B. Holmes,
an engineer from Portland,
Ore.
No hint of their recommen-
dations has been made, VIII
liam White, chief of Fish and
Wildlife's Bureau Of River
Basin studies, said.

Bell and Holmes have been
studying the possibilities of
fish ladders, channels and stor-
age basins in the hope of re-
viving sport fishing and the
one-time multi-million dollar
commercial industry above the
dams in the lower part of the
river.
White said the results of 9TH
er studies of river quality, tenn
peratures and spawning habi-
tats also will be considered.
Progress of the fish upriver
during their spring spawning
runs has been blocked by at
least one dam for more than
a half century. The Conowingo

created another barrier. Still
other dams lie upstream.

Another was made recently
by the Susquehanna Electric
Co. and the Maryland Depart
ment of Research and Educa-
ton which found it would not
be feasible to try to lift the
migrating fish over Conowingo
Dam. Biologists said there
would not be sufficient habitat
above the dam. But White add
ed that this does not rule out
the possibility that the fish
could spawn successfully far

PROFESSOR OF EDUCATION,
University Of Southern California
High school seniors who
have set their sights on 60
ing to college are faced with
an important choice their
parents did not have.
Should they try for ad-
vanced placement in college?
Or should they choose to
broaden their general edu-
cational backgrounds?
1t was simpler IS years
ago. There was no such
choice. High school was high
school and college was COL
lege. They did not overlap.
High school students car
ried four college preparation
subjects each year. The SEN
Tor year was filled with course
required for college entrance.
High School Speed-Up
But. recently, high school
students have been arriving
at the senior year with less
than a years work remain
ing to meet graduation and
college entrance require
mentS.
Three things have brought
about this change:
. Able students are encour-
aged to carry five solid sub
jects all through high school.
o Accelerated courses are
offered using standard text
books and which lead stu
dents to certain subjects a
year more earlier than nor
NAL.
. An increasing number of
stuoentS are attending sum-
mer schools.
With the extra room in
their programs, some SEN
Tors elect to take courses for
advanced placement in col
lege.
These courses are taught
from college textbooks and
it is presumed that the con-
tent is at the level of college
freshman work.
Advanced college place
ment. with or without credit,
is then dependent upon the
student passing tests given
by the College Entrance Ex-
animation Board.

like a top cut in half; that is,
one side has more Of q taper
than the other. Depending on
which side he turns outermost,
the player can give right or left
English" to his ball.
The rubber pad has only one
purpose, to put his left foot on
If he is righthanded. or the re-
verse If he is a southpaw, to
avoid tearing up the turf.
To bowl. the player stands at
the edge Of the green and rolls
out the jack. He can roll it in
any direction but must put it
out at least 81 yards. Then he
and the other bowlers try to
roll their woods as close to it
as possible.
Must Figure Roll
Unless you have had con-
siderable practice, you may not
come within 10 feet because the
wood has an annoying habit of
starting straight enough, then
swerving off toward the end.
That's due to the taper and
the crown Of the green. A good
bowler can do tricks with a
wood when he can figure the
roll Of a green.
For every ball closest to the
jack, a player or team scores a
point. The usual game Is 81
points, but league games are
only IS.
How did It start? Well. the
history is tied In with the his
tory Of New Bedford. When the
textile mills, many of which
have now moved South, were
in their heyday, English weav-
ers, loomfixers and other cot
ton mill hands migrated to
New Bedford. attracted by the
higher wages and better living
conditions.
They wanted to perpetuate7
the sport they had enjoyed in
the home country, so in 1920
they petitioned the city to build |
the greens. This summer, lights
have been installed so that they |
can roll until 10 pm.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Let Doctor Rule
On TrunquiIizers
BY PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
do you think about tran
quilizers?-Mr. 2.
ASK ME WHAT I think
about crutches, and I'll say
I hate to see people using
them; but how else can we
help the locomotion of a man
with a broken leg? Shall we
sentence him to a few months
In bed or in a chair because
clutches are a nuisance? OF
course not.
Let's look upon tranquil
izers as temporary aids to the
sick. In one case we are treat
ing bones. in the other we
are concerned with minds.
Not necessarily the broken"
mind Of the pSychopath, but
with the bent, bruised and
tired mind Of the person who
Is q little nervous-or even
severely psychoneurotic.
There's no more shame in
taking tranquiliZers in such
circumstances than in wob-
bling around on a crutch.
Each has its indications.
You ask me what do I
think of tranquilizers? Now
how do you mean It? Are
they harmful? Habit-form-
ing? Really necessary? Which
are best? Dangerous? I
couldn't possibly tell you In
this short space. But let me
give you quick answers that
may help you.
Tranquilizers will not harm
you II you take them only
under the direction Of your
physician. They may be
habit-forming, although I've
known patients who took
them for years, stopped, and
had no side-effects or unnat-
ural craving for them.
Which are best? Many are
similar in action but the
choice had better be made by
your doctor.
Dangerous? I don't doubt
that many an auto accident
was caused by q too tram
quilted driver" Let's be
thankful for tranquilizers-
but like all helpful medical
tons land like people,, they
have their bad sides as well
as good.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I had
o nodular toxic thyroid. My
basal metabolic rate was plus
IS and my protein-boun
iodine was also high. The
doctors treated me with
drops and tablets for three
months to prepare me for
operation. Then they re-
moved my thyroid about a
year ago.
I have been taking from a
u to 2 grams Of thyroid ex-
tract since the operation. I
have spells Of complete IA
tigue and have gained IS
pounds. My doctor says it
will take a while to adjust.
I'm so years old and I work.
Would you suggest a gland
specialist?-Mrs. K.
IT TAKES TINE to adj
Just. Your metabolism has
been swung from one ex-
IRENE to another. It's almost
like bringing a speeding car
to q sudden stop. You will re-
call that the doctors pre-
pared you for the operation
SO that the sudden applying
of the brakes would not tip
you over.
The thyroid is a delicate
organ. When hyperthyroid-
ism (Which you had with
your toxic goiter) is con-
verted into hypothyroidism
(Which you now have because
so much of the gland had to
be removeO the patient nat
urally has quite a reaction.
Formerly nervous. you are
now calm; formerly con-
scious Of a faSt-beating
pulse. chances are that it is
