Wolfschmidt Ltd.. Dundalk, Md. 80 proof; 100 Grain Neutral Spirits Product of U.SA I would like to go to work. My husband is always there when the boys come home and it is no trouble at all for him to give them lunch and to get the din ner started before I come home. Everything was working out beautifully when all my friends came down on me and said I am making a fool of my husband and that he is setting a very poor example for the boys by being a homemaker. Of course I don't want to do this and I wonder if it is a mistake. a Gregory T. If only people would mind their own business! We had worked out a very neat arrangement (I thought). Then along came these "friends" with their ideas about the way things are supposed to be and Alice says it embarrasses her to see me in an apron, and such none sense. The fact is that I actually en joy puttering around the house. There's nothing to it. When Alice was home, I used to get in her way and she in mine. We'd waste time talking together and nothing seemed to get fin ished on time. This is mueh more efficient. But these friends are really an evil influence.

Good man, vice president and execu tive editor of Simon and Schus ter, publishers, died here Mon day of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 48 years old. teased by people saying, "Are you going to be a homemaker like Daddy?" a The Council: This individual istic domestic arrangement could work out fine if every one involved is not afraid of being unconventional. If Alice and the boys are going to cringe every time a "friend" gives an unaskcd-for opinion, it means they just haven't got what it takes to stand- out against the crowd and can't be happy with this arrangement. Gregory appears to have the backbone that it takes. He does not stake his masculinity on fol lowing a set social pattern. He is far more self-assured in his manhood than men who pale wheh a neighbor catches them with an apron on. Gregory's straightforward, ra tional attitude toward his ac tivities and his confidence in himself sets a good example for his boys. Their reaction to the teasing they have been getting is probably a reflection of their mother's embarrassment and hesitation. If Alice decides she can rise to the occasion and be as much of an individualist as her hus band, she should find a pat answer for busybody friends and let their comments roll off her back. She ought to see her husband as an admirable man head of the family, bread-winner and rugged individualist. The boys will respect him,, even over a hot stove, if Alice doesn't waver in her respect.

Tranquility-by-Pill Declare Useful To Heart Attack Victims By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor Xew York itP1 Tranquility-by-pill is an extremely useful thin? in Dersons who have had heart attacks since there rarely if ever is any tran quility in those persons without pills, two heart spe cialists have rep o r t e d to their col- jDelos Smith leagues. They "tranquilized" with pills 80 heart patients who were dis playing much anxiety and ten sion about their illnesses, but anxiety and tension which seem ed to arise from their minds rather than from diseased hearts. In most cases, they continued, the "intense anxiety usually as sociated with acute cardiac dis ease was relieved. This, in many instances," helped "recov ery from an acute episode" of heart trouble. Much Study Need.d The specialists were Dr. Sam uel Waldman of Long Island college, and Dr. Louis Pelner of Brooklyn. In publishing their report, the editor of the techni cal journal, "American Practi-" tioner," remarked that "obvious ly" their "thought is difficult of statistical evaluation and much clinical study will be needed to confirm this idea." Their "thought" In brief is highest octane gasoline Standard ever tirade for reserve power on the road! it's WW ooo 2-to-l choice in the West!

In the normal heart, this emotional stress, no matter how great, is less than the heart's ability to bear it. But a diseased heart has much less ability. "Every heart has a failure threshold, that is, a maximum work load that cannot be out done without failure," they said. "In a normal organ it is difficult to force myocardial heart muscle function beyond the critical lev el, but the threshold of a dam aged heart can be exceeded rath er easily. At rest an impaired myocardium may still be clini cally competent, but agitation, emotional upheaval or physical stress may precipitate cardiac in sufficiency and failure." They felt that the connection between anxiety and heart func tion was well established, both scientifically and in the accumu lated folk-lore observations of unscientific people. For instance, they pointed out the physical mechanisms which "may ac count for the age-old belief that one could 'die of fright.' " Dies in Rage The great 18th century sur geon, John Hunter, they recall ed, had angina pectoris for 20 years and was so well aware of how his own emotions acted on his diseased heart that he said: "My life is at the mercy of any rascal who chooses to tease or annoy me." While lecturing, he was contradicted. He struggled to contain his rage, and dropped dead. Whether or not tranquility-by-pill aided their patients. Wald man and Pelner reported, de pended upon the amount of heart damage present. "In dangerously ill patients with extensive infarction, in whom the disease appeared irre versible and rapidly progressive, there was no alteration of the inevitable fatal course." They spoke of the tranquiliz ing drugs as a class, that is, the "ataraxics," thus suggesting trials with any of them. They themselves used meprobamate which is the best known to the general public as "the happy pill." Holmes Not To Enter Portland Vice Probe Portland (IB Gov. Robert D. Holmes said Monday night that he does not intend to step into the Portland vice probe picture. Holmes, appearing on televi sion, said that he had been urged by "many of my friends' to take action in the vice probe. But he said that he considered his authority ended with a direc tive he gave to Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton to han dle the probe. The governor indicated he had personal opinions regarding the probe but did not express them. Holmes said there have been suggestions that the attorney general should dismiss some of the remaining indictments but ne said he did not believe this v.ould be proper. "The attorney general has a duty to prosecute unless subsequent information comes in indicating that an in dictment will not stand," he said. Tuwdar.
