IN MEMORY In loving memory of my mother, Laurel Williams, who passed away November 4 th. 1961. Mrs. Vernie Buis and Family

IT’S ESTIMATED a record 70,800.000 Americans will vote Nov. 3. So, if YOU can vote and don't, just consider yourself a member of that small—but not select—club made up of

corps of young platnclothesmen to be known as the “Ghost Squad.” That ought to scare the kids into behaving.

dieted by statistics devitalize* a huge segment of productive human beings who die their lives, rather than live them. Good physical and emotional health cannot survive the constant blows inflicted by the demons of fear. Physicians, so vitally interested in the destinies of their patients, can only offer medical advice and supervision. They cannot bludgeon a patient into a dietary, smoking or drug regime. Individual Situations Physicians cannot have imposed on them the burden of responsibility for the smoking or the non-smoking habits of their patients. These are individual situations that need individual solutions by adults who face the reality of the problem and know its possible

consequences.

The husband or the wife may or may not take heed of each other’s pleas to stop smoking. But a joint effort must be devoted to the education of the young teenager who is about to explore the temptation of to-

bacco.

Education Is Key

Education of the adolescent— by his parents, his school and his doctor—is the key to his understanding of the disadvantages of smoking. The adolescent can best be reached when he is approached with a sane, logical and sympathetic request to follow the advice of those most interested in his

health and welfare.

Unfortunately, smoking has begun to dominate the lives of

“PLEASE tell him to atop smoking.” Doctors are bombarded with this incessant plea from the wives of patients about to be examined. “Please tell her to stop smoking.” This Identical plea comes from the husbands of the wives about to be examined. “P lease tell them to stop smoking” is the combined plea of parents who i hope that their 3 children will respond more readily to the authority of the Dr- Coleman doctor than to their own de-

mands.

A heavy pall—a heavy pall of smoke, a heavy pall of fear —seems to hang over the households of families of per-

sistent smokers.

"Where there is smoke, there is cancer” Is the new recruit that has joined the ranks of fear-producing statistics that undermine the happiness and productivity of hundreds of

thousands of people. Many Fears Already

There already exists a long line of fears about diseases, highway accident statistics and destruction by nuclear bombs. The new fear of tobacco is a formidable one, and takes its toll by adding its statistics to an already harried civilization. Newspapers, magazines, radio and television have more than adequately reported the existing relationship between

tobacco and diseases of the ITjan y who neec iiessly remain larynx and the uings. r tra pp e d their own indecision, reader, confused, frightened and Whether you smoke or do not

MILLIONS SIGHING RELIEF WITH CAMPAIGN WINDUP

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer \YSHINGTON—The approaching end of the political earn- ▼ T paigns must come as a relief to millions of Amerieu* whose partisanship is not as extreme as their interest la objeg* tive truths. It has been a long campaign, but in the main it ha* not contained the elements of many of its predecessors.

4 YOUR HEALTH

By LESTER L. COLEMAN, M.D.

Don’t Be Enslaved By Fear

YOU'RE THE WINNER! Regulation takes the place of direct competition in operating a public utility.

Regulation by a state agency permits exclusive service areas, which eliminate costly duplication of facilities and produce operating efficiencies. Regulation means better service at lower cost. As a user of electricity, you win!

THERE is no doubt that this civilization spontaneously generates anxiety. But. although it Is an anxious world, there are many compensating values in it. Hie blessings, physical and emotional, and freedoms that are ours are too often lost in the maze of petty tensions and hostilities. Our right to health, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of communication and freedom to live Dr. Coleman in simple dignity are but a few of these compensations. Proud in these broader possessions, w© must enjey them rather than concede in fear to the small tensions that seem to surround us. Enormous Dividends The dividends are enormous when life's problems are solved without fear. The real punishment in any complex or difficult situation is that we become slaves to the anxiety it generates. The problems of living may disappear, but the anxiety continues to distress us and to devitalize us. Happiness is not some elusive quality given to a chosen group. It surrounds us in many forms. Fear and anxiety tend to obscure it. To the fear-rid-den, happiness seems unattainable. Obscured By Anxiety In the wonderful adventure of living, happiness is a dividend. That happiness is often unrecognizable until existence fs stripped of the anxiety that beclouds it. Fear is not effectively treated by glossing over it superficially. The well-meant advice to “for-

get about it; it’s in your mind” can be more destructive than helpful. For these familiar littl© expressions have a tendency to encourage the fear-ridden person to neglect and avoid a discussion of the cause of his anxiety. No, fear is not effectively treated by glossing over it superficially. It must be brought out into the open. Then it can be attacked. Can’t Face Situations A realistic, practical appraisal of the cause is the most effective early antagonist to anxiety. Very often, people are temporarily inadequate to face special situation?, or to understand the underlying cause of their fear. It is no shame, no stigma, to seek advice from those persons who can help solve these problems and release you from your enslaving fears.. The family doctor, the spiritual leader, guidance counselors or psychiatrists —these are the people who are specially trained to give you the advice and help that you need. Examine Fears When your fears are examined, their important aspects will stand out, to be properly dealt with. The unimportant facets will disappear. Then all that is left is a real, not Imaginary, problem; a real, not imaginary, fear. Stripped of the frightening,' nonexistent part, fear usually is easily controlled. Bring fear out into the open and you will make fear afraid of itself. These columns are designed to relieve your fears about health through a better understanding of your mind and body. All the hopeful new advances in medicine reported here are known to doctors everywhere. Your individual medical problems should be handled by your own doctor. He knows you best.

concerned by his inability to give up smoking, is encased in a trap from which he cannot

extricate himself.

Further Evidence Evaluated While further scientific evidence Is being accumulated and critically evaluated, the smoker is dying of the disease called i fear, which grows progressively worse with every “coffin nail”

he guiltily inhales.

The psychological damage from fear of cancer of the lung can be very destructive. The morbid dread of the fate pre-

bility. There is an additional responsibility, after weighing the evidence, that you live your life in the rightful heritage of hope, rather than despair.

Even the injection of personal moral* that buoyed the hopes of Barry Goldwater’s supporters seemed to be fleeting. And, as expected, the final days of the battle stimulated! severe statements on the part of both parties that did little to heighten the credibility of

their stands.

very lack of moderation in campaign tactics has the effect of dafrjracting from the attractiveness of either candidate or party,

Rank and file voters across the antion—those wedded to neither party—undoubtedly find the long campaign boring.

• L’AFFAIRE JEXKIN*—Several aspects of the revelation* concerning the moral weakness of President Johnson’s top Whit# House aide. Walter Jenkins, call for further examination. To many persons familiar with FBI and police procedures it i.« incredible that Johnson was not aware of Jenkins’ weakness. To these knowledgeable individuals this signifies the kind of breakdown in normal governmental security procedures that ia even more damning than the fact that a potential security risk

found his way so close to the presidency. In a peripheral area, there is a strong feeling that the managers of the two Washington newspapers who decided to withhold news accounts of Jenkins’ arrest did a disservice to the nation s

press, of which they are a part.

The only justification for the constitutional guarantee ef free, dom of the press lies in the over-riding need to keep the publie informed. All other considerations, regardless of how compassion-

ate they may seem, are secondary.

As it turned out, no lasting harm was done by the temporary withholding of material facts from the newspaper reading public, but this is no justification for the lapse in editorial respon-

sibility that occurred.

W hen the dust has settled and some degree of objectivity he* returned to the Washington scene it would be well for re*ponslbl* government and press figures to take a long look at •ecurity procedures and mechanics of disclosure to assure there shell be no recurrence of e similar sorry incident.

DODGE CORORET the savingest, sellingest full-size Dodge in histoiy If you look at low-price cars and miss this four-door sedan Coronet 440 with V8 power, it can cost* you 306 dollars. That's how much lower priced it is than a comparable model Chevy Impala. (And compared to a Ford Gaiaxie 500, this Coronet is 314 dollars less!) And Coronet is no compromise. It's a hot car-with optional power to 426 cubic inches. It's a full-size car—in room, looks and ride. But, thank The Dodge Boys, it's lower priced-from the two-door sedan model right on up to the sports jobs. In fact, between convertible models (Coronet 500 vs. Gaiaxie 500 XL), the price savings is 604 dollars in favor of Dodge! Any wonder, the

Coronet is the sellingest full-size Dodge in history? Come see for yourself.

•All price differences based on manufacturer's suggested retail prices for comparable Dodge, Chevy and Ford models, exclusive of

white wails, destination charges, state and local taxes, if any.
