please say something kind

This comes from a working
wife who is about to retire
and come home to a retired
husband who, ETC.. etc.
I'm all my married life I
was never retired. I held
down, and still do, a 40-hour
job. Sometimes 48 hours. My
husband never seems to think
I have two jobs, one where I
am employed and the other at
home. My earnings go into
the house budget the same
as. his.
His major contribution to
my work at home is mouth
ing. Where energy is to be
put forth. he saves his.
1--WE working wives who are
nearing retirement can look
forward to coming home to
retired husbands who will ex-
pect to be waited on hand
and foot, while they grunt
and groan. We'd like to do
that, too, once in a while.
But there are dishes to
do. cooking, washing, IRON
ing, mending, cleaning, going
to market, picking up after
the dear man while we
listen to him tell us how we
should have done said chores
yesterday. or put them off
until tomorrow.

pleasant for the old lady if
the old man would just be
agreeable. :"
The working wife who re-
tires presumably would have
a pension and social security
in her own name. So she is
not exactly helpless in her
relationship with a lazy re-
tired husband. 1t is still GUS

months or years to prevent
heart damage.
If you are fat, If you have
gall bladder trouble, If you
are always nervous and run
down your doctor should
take time to talk to you about
your condition. The more you
know. the better your
chances of improving.
In my evaluation, a doctor
can't be a good doctor un-
less he believes that he must
also be a good teacher. &.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: MY
friends are always after me
because I use salt on every
thing on grapefruit, mel
ons, apples, in buttermilk,
and I don't know what all. I
just happen to like it that
way. My husband tells me
that's my secret Of staying
thin. Do you think that this
salt habit is a bad one for my
health? At present, the doctor
says I'm a perfectly healthy
woman. - Mrs. K, Mobile,
Ala.
SOME PERSONS like a lot
OF sugar on everything
yet they never get diabetes.
Some overeat and take a lot
of fat, yet they never gain.
Others smoke a lot, yet never
get cancer of the lips, tongue
or lungs. But some DO get
diabetes; some DO get fat;
some DO get cancer. Yet, we
can't be sure that their hab-
its were the prime cause.
So it is with your craving
for salt. can't be sure that
it will harm you. although
some doctors think too much
sodium intake is as bad for
the circulation as too much
cholesterol.
On the basis of modera-
ton, I would cut down if
were you. In the presence Of
certain kinds of heart dis
ease, liver trouble and kidney
disease, salt is, of course,
contraindicated in large
amounts.

When the man with the
little black bag comes to visit
you, you think of him as a
healer - which he tries to
be. But he should not forget
another important aspect Of
his calling. The doctor should
be a teacher as we'll as heal
er. In fact, the word doc
tor" is derived from the Lat
in words doctor" meaning
teacher, and "docere," mean
ing to teach.
This came to mind when a
friend said to me yesterday:
Don't you think the Ameri-
can Cancer Society is soaring
more people to death than
saving, with all the literature
they producer"
I replied that "I'd rather
keep a hypochondriac alive
until 80 than fail to save a
Superoptimist at 40."
Suppose a man was walk
ing along the edge of a cliff
on a dark night. Suppose
you were that man. Would
you prefer not to be told
about your danger? Or would
you forgive the person who
shouted a warning even
though it sent your heart
palpitating with fear?
DOCTORS ARE beginning
to believe that patients
should be treated like part
ners. Otherwise the health
concern will go bankrupt.
Our job is to teach the pa
tient-not to try to make
some kind of doctor out of
him-but to give him enough
information that may prove
lifeSaving.
If you are a diabetic, you
should know some basic facts
about the pancreas, about
diet, about how insulin works.
If you have had a family
history of coronarv disease
are overweight and have a
high cholesterol, the doctor
should take time out to teach
you the pitfalls you must
evade.
If your child has had rheu-
matte fever, the doctor should
take time out to teach you
the need for giving him sulfa
tablets or antibiotics for

Bride-to-Be Picks Best Man

DEAR ABBY: How do you
pick a best man" for a we'd
ding? I always thought the
best man should be the
groom's best friend. My son
grew up with a certain young
man in this town, and those
boys were like brothers. That
fellow was in my home as
much as he was in his own.
He is getting married and I
know my son felt hurt when
he wasn't asked to be best
man. The bride" asked her
fiance to ask her brother
(whom he doesn't even
KNOW to be best man be-
cause he is 6 feet Q and
will look better in the bridal
party than my son, who is
S feet 6. Can you beat
that? Id like your comments.
VERY VERY HURT.
A man who lets his bride
select his best man is start
ing down the aisle on the
wrong foot. Look for a dOu-
ble-ring ceremony - one for
HER finger, the other for
HIS nose.

DEAR ABBY: The other

found that this teen-ager had
spent the evening looking

items.

DEAR ABBY: snore very

happened very often.
My daughter, who lives in

a baby real soon, so I am
going down to be with her.
She has never been able to
stand my snoring. Her house
is small, and even sleeping in
the next room doesn't help,
as I am told the people next
door have heard me snore.
What shall I do? I can't stay
awake all night. And I don't
want to keep my daughter up.

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Retiring Wife Gets
Tip on Lazy Man

visit to Cousin Minnie In
Missouri,
The left-at-home husband
will protest. Good and long.
For nothing makes a retired
man so miserable as losing
the woman who has been
waiting on him. But If the
wife has the nerve to pull
such a vacation" for herself
she will usually come home
to a repentant man-for a
couple Of weeks anyway.
Then when his good be-
havior begins to wear off she
can always peer at him over
the coffee cup and sweetly
say. "I'll do it again. :"
The wife who lets her hus-
band reach retirement age
without being considerate of
her problems has failed some
where back down the line .
possibly at the time when sex
played out as a factor in her
influence on him. That's no
help now, of course, unless
the wife can see ir it the need
of acquiring some new
weapon.
Companionship is a weapon
because a retired man sorely
needs it. The wife can take
it away. Household toll is a
weapon. This, too, a wife can
take with her to Missouri.
Most wives in the predica-
ment of the one who has
stated her case here will fuss
and nag in a vain effort to
make their men more helpful.
And as a result they will Gre
ate more new physical all
ments in the man than a
doctor ever heard Of.
In time he'll even be buy
ing medicine for his supposed
ailments-with her money, if
he can.
It's not force, or nagging,
or bribery that will make a
lazy retired man help his wife.
It's the taking away of some
thing he wantS-like cooked
food or clean beds.

Lose som e thing? Well,
don't look in that drawer
again. You've checked it 10
times and it isn't there!
You're just going round and
round!
You can go round and
round studying for tests, too.
Sometimes students say, IT
went over these materials for
hours and I still got a low
grade" What happened?
Probably their study habits
are wrong.
Habit patterns can lead to
some pretty silly repetitions
Of futile actions. They can
cause you to spend as much
study effort or the unimpor-
tant things as on the impor-
tant ones. You're literally
spinning your wheels!
If you really want to make
higher grades on examina-
tionS and can't understand
why you don't, try changing
your pattern of study. You
may hate to change if you are
already "squeaking BY" but
at least try a new system.
Who wants to be satisfied
with just "squeaking by?
Practice Test Subjects
First. stop to think. What
are the sensible things to
practice? The answer should
be easy. Practice the things
you will be expected to do on
the tests, of course
If you listen for it, most
teachers will give you a pretty

they are going to give. Fig

Archbishop Makarios said a

would be to evolve executive
power" and to ESTABLISH a

Disarmament then would be
easier to achieve, he said.
He called for self-determina-
