US Sends
Protest On
Wall Staying

BERLIN (UPD-The United
States protested to Russia to-
day against the Christmas Day
killing by Communist border
guards of a refugee scaling the
Berlin wall.
An American spokesman said
the protest was sent by Martin
Hillenbrand, charge d'affaireS
at the us. Embassy in the
West German capital of Bonn,
to Pyotr A. Abrasimov, Soviet
ambassador to East Germany.
The written protest note was
delivered to the East Berlin
Embassy of the Soviet Union.
Earlier, the West Berlin city
government made a similar
protest.
A city government spokesman
said the protest was made in
the name of Mayor Willy
Brandt at a conference of East
German and West Berlin Off
Gals who meet regularly to dis
cuss ~implementation of the
agreement that provides for
holiday visits to East Berlin.
HorS Korber, a Brand aide,
told East German state Secre-
tary Erich Wendt that the muir
der of 18-year-old Paul Schulz
was "inexcusable."
He said the incident was in
compatible with the humanitari.
an aims of the agreement that
provided for opening the wall
over the holidays to allow the
reunion of Berlin families.
The protest was delivered al
one of the regular meetings
held by Korber and Wendt to
iron out differences resulting
from the pass agreement they
signed for their governments.
The spokesman corrected a
West Berlin police report that
had said three West Berliners
were arrested by Communist
police at a border crossing
points Thursday.
He said the three were held
up briefly for using the wrong
crossing point but were not ar
rested.

Remember. there are expe-
riences you can expose your
children to which viii help
them in their first school
work. A child who explores
only his home and yard,
neighborhood and shopping
center is not getting sufft-
Gent background.
How to Prepare Children
Parents should provide OPP
portunities for children to
enjoy a wide range Of expert
ences, = Encourage them to
discover and find pleasures
in learning Just for the sake
Of finding out.
. You can take them to
places Of interest in the com.

zoos Look at the Sky at
I night With him. Point out
birds initrees. IN other words,
encourage him to- observe
what Isl going on around him:
Let him talk about what he
sees. hears and feels, Y.
Also, don't be afraid ~
say 4 don't know. Tell him
vel try TO ! find oat to-
gether." Here is where you
can bring in books. Look up
what you don't know in ref
erence books and let him be-
come acquainted with how to
discover his own answers.
Books will be an increasing
ly important part of his life.
So read to him often. Chill
dren like to have the same
stories read over and over.
Let him sit on your lap so
he can follow the words as
your finger points them out
as you read. This not only
will start him off correctly
in left to right reading, but
makes him realize that the
printed symbols on the page
actually mean something.
I cannot stress too strong
ly that it is the child who
does the growing. Parents
can only provide a favorable
climate for growth-and this
means allowing them to grow
at their own speed. So, don't
push-it defeats the purpose!

Mothers these days hear

last fall in Los Angeles. Vot-
ers had failed to approve a
special tax rate, so the Board
of Education had to curtail
portions of the school pro-
gram, including kindergarten.
Not all applicants could be
accepted in kindergarten. At
one school it was felt that
children who were willing to
leave their mothers without
fuss should be given prefer

mothers were told that on the
following day and from then
on, they were to leave the
children at the gate. Children
who showed readiness would
be admitted to kindergarten.
Those who put on tantrums
and cried for their mothers
obviously weren't ready for
kindergarten and would be
replaced by other children.
On the next day, something
of a miracle occurred. When
the mothers arrived with the
children, all of the children

without incident.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: You
recently discussed a man, 30
who suffers from noises In
his head. I am 81 and have
had that trouble. My physi-
clan did not use the term
hardening of the arteries, +"
though for all I know that
may be the seat of the trou-
BILE.
He gave me a prescription
of nicotine acid tablets. I
am on my second 100 and
take one four times a day.
The results have been good.
I don't know If I'm COM
pletely cured but at least I'm
no longer bothered by the
head noises. I was consider
ably annoyed, even alarmed,
when those noises started in
my head, and so / sympathize
with that old gentleman
Mr.. II.
YEARS AGO we charged
most of these head noises
latter we ruled out any trou-
BILE in the ears) to trouble
in the circulation within the
brain. We told patients,
You'll have to learn to live
with it" and they walked
out of the office, not only
frustrated, but angry at us
doctors for making such a
silly statement.
I used to prescribe satur-
ated solution of potassium
iodide to many of these ell
derby people. 1 had no scien-
tific reason for 1t, except the
hope that the medicine would
in some way clear out the
deposits (atherosclerosis) on
the artery walls. Surprising
ly, some of these patients
showed improvement.
Now, years later, nicotine
acid is being used by many
doctors with reports of i'm
provement here and there.
1t is harmless, and certainly
worth trying in patients who
have stubborn head noises.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Will
you kindly answer through
your column this question,
and thereby settle a friendly
difference of opinion between
several of my friends and
myself. We would like to
know the true meaning of a
"gynecologist." Is he a doc
