Jim BISHOP

The man said it would cost
sos to scrape and varnish
the dining room floor and I
said nothing doing. We'd do
the work ourselves. You
know something's I wish I
was dead.
The dining room is shaped
like a capital T. The cross
bar is the front of the house.
The foot of the T has a pic
ture window looking out on
a dismal area way. 1t all
started when Kelly said:
How about getting that
planter out of here?" That
planter happens to be a
stroke of genius engineered
by me when I was a bachelor.
1t is a long casket-shaped
thing made of white brick.
1t sits three feet inside the
picture window and is full of
green growing things, and
some gay plants which are
phoney. After 1t was fin
ished, I had to put an extra
column below to keep the
thing from falling into the
cellar. One of our house,
keepers-no longer with US
used to tell visitors that I
had a relative buried in it.
Anyway, Kelly said that
the planter had to go. At
once I realized that women
have some sort Of a nesting
instinct which makes them
want to change things. Es-
pecially things which were
not devised by them. So I
said: "Okay." A man named
Sal Santora chipped the
bricks out of the dining
room. When the planter
was gone, we found we had
a big hole in the gray broad
loom.
WELL, WE HAD no 10
foot casket to cover 1t, so
the broadloom had to come
up. When that was done, we
needed new rugs. The floor
looked pretty bad too. It
would have to be redone.
The walls, which are knotty
pine, began to look dark and
dirty.
"How about white on the
walls?" Mrs. B. said. "a nice
flat white with a strain
Of antique gold running
through" It began to look
like a king-sized nesting in
stinct. The ceiling was pastel
green. OF course that
wouldn't go with the white
walls.
It wouldn't go with the
ochre rugs she had in mind
either.
Well, first things first. We
put all the furniture out on
the front porch. The word
spread through Sea Bright
that the Bishops were NOV
ing. Two bill collectors
showed up and waited on
the lawn. Mrs. B. and Gayle
decided that a walnut stain
would be nice on the dining
room floor, so the three of
us started on different sides
Of the room.
My brush was too big for
the can, so, in taking it out,
some of the walnut flicked
onto the new white walls. My
father, who sleeps in a Bar
calounger chair (never a
bed), walked around mutter-
ing: Where am I going to
sleep?" His chair was on the
porch.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By DR.. PETER J. STEINCRoHN

us any lead as to how 1t Is?
Is operation always neces-
sary?-Mrs. L.
SUPPOSE you know that
your thyroid gland is situated
in the neck. Normally, you
can't feel it or see it. Its
job is mainly to regulate the
metabolism of the body. If
your thyroid is lazy, or un-
deractive. you slow UP.
With the decrease Of the
thyroid hormone thyroxin,
the patient complains of feel
ing cold all the time. The
pulse is slow. The skin be-
comes bloated, thick and eyes
baggy. Mental processes slow
up, sexual desire decreases,
and excess cholesterol piles
up in the blood making the
person more susceptible to
developing atherosclerosis.
The underactive thyroid
does not always enlarge so
you can feel it in the neck.
The doctor establishes the
diagnosis by taking a basal
metabolism test and finding
it low, or by taking a pro-
tein-bound iodine test. Civ
ing the patient thyroid ex-
tract improves the patient
with hypothyroidism.
The other extreme Is hy-
perthyroidism. The gland be-
comes overactive, as proved
by high readings in the fore
going tests. The entire gland
may enlarge so you can see
it and feel it. Or, Just a small
nodule may appear which be-
comes overactive. If you have
the condition, you complain
Of loss of weight in spite Of
a voracious appetite. Your
eyes may bulge. You feel
weakness all over, especially
In your legs. You tire easily
on climbing stairs. You COM
plain of edgineSs and nerv-
BUSINESS.
You can't sit still and re-
lax. Your pulse is fast, some-
times irregular. There may
even be. changes temporary
in your electrocardiogram.
Your face is flushed and
your skin is overly warm. In
stead Of being always cold
like the patient with hy-
pothyroidism. you are always
warm when others are cold.
If all this trouble is due
to an overactive adenoma in
your gland, operation is the
best treatment. Once it is cut
out, most of these symptoms
disappear and you become
another person, relaxed and
ready to enjoy life again.
If the hyperthyroidism is
due to a smoothly enlarged
goiter that punches out your
neck, there Is a choice Of
treatments: Surgery, X-ray,
radioactive iodine, or taking
medicines especially given to
reduce thyroid overactivity.
Sometimes they take the
place of operation; but often
are ineffective after a few
years, and operation is neces-
sary anyway. &
Sometimes there is enlarge
ment of the thyroid due to
adenomaS or Jumps which
do not affect the thyroid's
work one way or another.
If they get too large, some
times operation is done only
for cosmetic purposes. Some
times we remove an adenoma,
although not apparently
troublesome, only to make
sure that 1t does not become
the seat of cancer later on.
Doctors have come a long
way in the correct diagnosis
and effective treatment of
thyroid diseases. The main
thing is to get to your doctor
in time for proper manage
ment.

The sloping lawns behind
the old house were almost
as solidly damned as the
house itself as the more than
LOO who attended threaded
their way again and again to

Shimmering sheathS bril-

BY BILL GRESS
Times Assistant Editor

Brother George Dury isn't a big
ma but it's no exaggeration to say
that the future rests squarely on his
shoulders.
Or at least the future of one Afri-
can nation does.
FOR IN January, Brother George,
a Marianist from the Cincinnati pro-
vince, will ease his five-and-a-half foot
frame into the headmaster's chair at
Chaminade High School in Karonga,
Nyasaland.
This automatically makes him an
important man there.
In all of Nyasaland = which has a
population larger than % of our so
states = there are only IA secondary
schools.
And the need for education is
great.
THE COUNTRY, with it's three
million people, is primitive ever by
African standards. AS Brother George
pointed out:
. There are only five commune
ties large enough to be called towns.
. Superstition is prevalent.

. And most important, native
leadership is inadequate.
Doctors, engineers and civil ser
wants are all needed desperately,
Chaminade's primary function, as
Brother George sees it, is to fill this
need - to provide leadership for the
future.
At the school, which will have
some so students, emphasis will be on
classical education. The immediate
goal is to prepare the boys for the
Cambridge examination, which is pass
ed, will permit them to enter a British
