A city-wide spot survey of
Safeway branches indicated
that managers and supervisory

were doing their utmost to
reopen this afternoon or this
evening. New deliveries Of de-
pleted stock items cannot be
expected until trucks manned
by the Transfers are rolling

A dozen or so Of the chains

throughout the eight-day walk
out with managers acting as
checkers and stock clerks.
Federal Mediator James Hol-
den, who has been participat-
ing in the talks since the strike
began, announced the tenta-
tive settlement early today.
Neither he nor representatives
of the Transfers or Safeway
would comment on details of
the proposed settlement. Prin-
cipal stumbling blocks to set
lemen were wages and work
jurisdiction questions.
Warehousemen's Local 730
will hold two meetings tonight
to vote on acceptance Of the
agreement reached by its Off

to Mr.. Holden. The warehouse

Book on Early Texas Valuable

One of the most important
books in the history Of Texas
was written by a woman
Mary Austin Holley, a cousin

of the first Texas colony.
An extremely scarce book

$50 to twice that amount,
depending on condition,
Mrs. Holley's book con-
sists of a series of letters

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Do You TrembIe
Making Speech?
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEIEIcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
problem is extreme nervous
ness when I address a gath
ering large or small. I can
not even engage in heated
debate with friends without
becoming so agitated I am
almost speechless.
A better than average stu
dent, I became afflicted with
this fear in high school and
actually quit school to hide
it. 1t later curtailed ad-
vancement in the army, and
in civilian life has deadened
my ambitions through appre-
hension and fear.
Could some glandular dis
turbance be the cause of my
trouble? To my knowledge I
have an underactive thyroid
for which 1 recently started
taking thyroid extract. Nor
mally, I am quite composed.
But the moment I have to
speak at length to a group
of people, or the moment my
temper is aroused in conver-
sation, I tremble with agita-
ton.
Tranquilizers are an aid
but I would like to dispense
with these crutches. Do you
think my trouble is strictly
emotional or is there a
chance medical treatment
will help?-Mr. T.
l DOUBT that your low
thyroid activity has anything
to do with your anxiety be-
fore an audience. Most peo-
pie with perfectly norm a |
thyroids are apprehnesive
when asked to say "a few
words in front of a group.

their hearts to run away
and their voices to quiver.
I'd suggest that you do take
an occasional tranquilizer, if
it helps. Better still, evalu-
ate your potentialities as a
speaker by attending a pub

symptoms continue, perhaps
it would be best to resign
yourself to the role Of audi

INFORMATION: One of
Theatrical Producer Charles
Dillingham's heaviest hackers
was a stock broker who
phoned daily to inquire about
the previous nights receipts.
What irked Dillingham; was
that the man called at 8
o'clock in the morning, be-
fore leaving his house for his
office. Dillingham;, who rare
ly retired before 4 am. found
this more than a little trying.
For a couple Of weeks. he
endured this ordeal. Then
one night, he decided that
the time had come to turn
the table. At 4 am, he
phoned the broker.
Look. it's your money"
he said. Why should you
have to phone me for the
figures. From now on, I'll
phone you"
The other, startled out of
a sound sleep, got the hint.
After that, he made his in

ICAN IMAGINE how bad
ly you feel. Acne scars more
than the complexion. 1t
causes emotional tensions
and daily unhappiness, as in
your own case.
1 suggest that you see a
qualified dermatologist. You
can get the name of a gooc
one from your family doctor
or from the secretary Of your
local medical society. There
is a relatively new procedure
called Dermabrasion which
shaves off the outer layer of
the skin and removes many
facial designations. 1t has
proved effective in many
cases. Why not give the doc
tor the opportunity to decide
whether it will help your
problem.

Do you avoid making good

you may have been making
resolutions the wrong way.
With the semester ending

dents realize their need for a
squirt in learning. But the
resolution: II am going to

yourself TO study probably
will have a negative effect.
