Of sleeping pills is potentially
dangerous: Anywhere from
the habitual use of a pill or
two every night for years, to
the ultimate danger which is
suicide.
But I tell people that where
drugs are concerned all is
not black or white, bad or
good. There are the gray
areas where these pills act
as necessary crutches to get
people over difficult periods
Of stress.
FOR EXAMPLE, consider
Mr.. H., aged 48: I'm ex-
hausted, and at the end of
my rope. I've been worried
sick by financial losses and
family worries and family
sickness. AS a result, ! haven't
been able to sleep for months.
My doctor told me weeks ago
to take q sleeping pill every
night for q while so that I
could get some relief, but
I've refused to take them.
I've heard they're dope and
that you can become an
addict" --.
This mans eyes were red
trimmed and black-circled.
He had lost about 20 pounds.
His hands shook and he
lighted cigarette after cigar
cite. He drank Is to 20 cups
Of black coffee every day to
keep going,"{
I convinced him that II
he followed directions he
would not become an addict;
that If he didn't get some
rest right away, he would be
inviting trouble much worse
than addiction to sleeping
pills. In many such patients,
nightly loss of sleep and ex-
treme exhaustion usually
precede a severe nervous
breakdown and depression.
Some commit suicide.
He agreed to take q barbit-
urate every night as directed.
Within 10 days he had re-
gained a half dozen pounds,
had cut down on his coffee
and cigarettes. He was being
overdramatic when he said
those pills saved my life"
but many other patients have
felt the same way.
I agree that if you get into
the habit of popping pills
into your mouth at night as
If they were hard candy, you
court disaster. But so do you
II you speed in your car,
drink too much, smoke too
much.
Does it make sense to
throw the whole Doodle of
sleeping pills into the sea
because relatively few people
abuse their use? Think Of

around the car. When Nc
Cormack saw the tender man
ner with which he opened
the door, he turned to Sister
Pulcheria. "You win, sister,"
he said.
She did. The first official
case was q delivery. Sister
M. Pulcheria was in charge
of the nursing staff in the
delivery room. From that day
on, she helped to bring new
lives Of all races, all creeds,
into the world. She worked
day and night and some
times, when labor was pro-
tracted, 1t wasn't easy to get
her off the floor for her
dinner.
In 80 years, day and night,
Sister Pulcheria assisted in
the delivery of more than
$4,000 babies. Long before
that time, she would be
pressing a cool cloth on a
warm forehead, and the
woman would say: "You don't
remember me, Sister, but you
helped at my birth"
1t was true and, over the
pride, the sister felt the chill
Of time. She worked harder
and harder. She had to learn
new techniques; go to Sister
M. Bartholomew's library for
all the new medical journals;
learn, learn, learn.
FIVE YEARS AGO, the
TICK OF time began to sound
loud in her ears. She was
old. 1t was time to quit, past
time.
The front door was the
same. The gravel drive was
the same. She could hear the
spinning Of wheels on stones.
Sister Pulcheria was ordered
to quit.
The infants are there. They
weep or sleep behind glass,
the tiny hands moving in
slow-motion arcs. But she
isn't there. And yet I think
of her as the greatest mother
of them all.

how much they help millions
of others.
1t seems ridiculous for Q
doctor to have to engage in
debate to convince his pas
tient to take q few sleeping
pills. But this Is not a rave
occurrence. Too many people
have gotten it into their
heads that sleeping pills are
bad-apd you have to COM
vince them that they are
wrong. The word dope
keeps coming up In their
arguments.
SLEEPING PILLS aren't
dope any more than aspirin
is "dope.s Too much aspirin
can be as bad as too many
sleeping pills. incidentally,
an aspirin or two before bed1
time is often just as effica1
cious in producing sleep al
sleeping pills.)
Here are some guides:
Never hesitate to take
sleeping pills If your doctor
thinks you need them. |!
Never take them on your
own. Sometimes . neighbof
or friend will let you have
some, his own doctor has
prescribed.) I
Never bootleg sleeping pills
Once your doctors prescrip!
ton has been used up, don't
try to get a refill by devious
means. Il
Never keep the fun bottle
Of pills at your bedside table.
Remember this: Most
people don't get the habit.
They can stop taking sleeps
ing pills easily If they will let
their doctor run the show. !!

MYRTLE BEACH, S. c., June

a record-equaling first round
lead into today's second round
of the 10th United States Golf
Association Women's Open
tournament.
The trim blond from Seattle,
Wash, a professional for six
years despite her youthful IS,
was the only player in the field
of SO to match par 70.
That gave her a three-stroke
lead over Mickey Wright, the
defending champion and three
time winner in the last four
years. Mickey's rs tied her for
runnerup honors with Joann
Prentice Of Birmingham, Ala.
Miss Jessen's 1886 equaled
the largest first-round lead in
the 10-year history Of the
tourney under USGA sponsor

led by three shots after the first
