. That Body Of Yours

By James W. Barton. ILD.

MOST PAIN IN THE HEART REGION NOT DUE TO HEART DISEASE

"The commonest. form of distress, by far. that gives rise to the idea of heart disease is pain or some sort of discomfort in the upper half of the body, including the arms. When distress is felt in the chest. particularly on the left side, it is very likely to be attributed to the heart by the patient and his frienis and relatives. and even by his doc- tor. This is only natural and it is one of the commonest symptoms that brings patients to doctors and it is the commonest symptom mis- taken for heart disease."

I am quoting Drs. John A. and William A. Ollie. University of Tor- onto, in the Toronto and Tulane Jniversity nuniher of Medical Clin- ics of North America.

As heart and blood vessel dis- ease stands first as a cause of death. heart disease lS at once sus- pected; the family doctor is con- sulted and perhaps the patient is referred to a heart specialist. Almost 60 per cent of such pat- ients are suffering either from an exaggerated or wholly unnecessary anxiety about their hearts ”arising from suggestion and not based on reason." They are not suffering from heart disease but from the idea What they have heart disease.

What are the reactions of these individuals who think they have heart disease, though heart disease is not present?

"Some describe their feelings and fears frankly. They have spells of suffocation, become hysterical or panicky. and think they are dying." Some deny their fears but rt word or expression betrays their anxiety. Some conceal ilieir anxiety until the examination is over.

What these three groups i'irst and most is reassurance.

Sometimes the exact location of the pain may decide whether the pain is or is not due to gall blad- der disturbance as pressure over gall bladder may produce pain be- low left nipple. ”These piiins last for hours at a time and have no relation to effort, eating, breath- ing, or anything except. perhaps, fatigue. They are certainly not im- portant or serious."

Another reassuring point is that when pains occur outside the nip- ple, away from the midline, they are not due to any heart condition.

"Fatigue is a. general symptom, the result of any anxiety or disease but does not point to any heart weakness."

Don't worry about your heart. You either have or have not heart disease. Consult your family doc- tor first. If you have heart disease. you may learn how to live safely with it.

ELl.Ell'S DIARY

"The stars have this to say about our birth-date" we com. merited to James, when night and they took the two lads to bed, Rob to loci: in on Karolyn as her home in tovrn, and we to a quiet of CVENHB we often know together at Alderlea. James let his reading lie neglected to listen,

"But" Jamie who rea- sons very well for his age, tensed. "you're a whole year older than you were yesterday! How do you like that?" g "I had my Birthday Anniversai-,v in Julie," a city woman, 5, gifted younizish lady wrote us," and I IUDUEM I'd pass on to you lines sent to me then by a friend. I thought them funny and not alto- gether ficiioiial: ”Birthda.is are something we don't like to men- tion; but the more we have, the sooner the pension!' "

While James with the innate in- dependence of the male of the species does not see eye to eye with us over some of the social se- curity measures now obtaining, we have both seen and heard the joy of their receipt. . . from mothers of little ones, and from the older folk. they that have come a long hard road over, iiith little left for themselves after their years of foil and struggle.

"And mother may we have this, -it's only fifteen cents?" a child before a toy counter lwgged not long ago. as we were held hard and fast there for the moment. We, glanced at the mother, obviously pondering the query. She hesitated then: "Well, just t.hls oncel You know we've other things than toys to buyl” And the sheen in the youngster! eyes was lovely to see And it came to mind that without the allowance, this young wish un- requited, might have started at sore in heart to rankle with ill effect along his bewildering years to come.

And at an intersection, while we awaited with others. safe passage across, two women chatted. "It's so long since I saw you-and to think

of on meeting here!" one said, of the two no longer young. "And haven't you often been in my

"Thank hea- ven, I'm notl" the first replied, "I put up with her and her ways too long asit was-at that. ii. day would be over-long! Wasn't I glad to get that first piece of paperl I'm independent now!” And there was a song in our heart too, that for her at last was the security that up to then. perhaps through no idleness or fault of her own. had been denied her. to cause if. bondage-of-sorts in a country where rightfully every human should be free.

And what of our next milestone? Happily, hopefully, we step now toward it. The direction we know-- but the goal is hidden . . .around a. bend of road.

Q. lf a man and girl are dining in a restaurant where there is dancing, and another man comes to the table and asks her to dance, is it proper for her to accept?

A. She should ask her escort. "Do you mind if I dance with Bill?" If he says he doesn't mind, she may dance with him a very short while, then return to her escort.

Q. Would it be all right for me to give a bridal shower for my prospective daughter-in-law?

A. This is not properly done. No member of either the girls or the man's family should give her a shower. since a shower invitation approximates a request for gift-

DEAR MISS DIX: How can I overcome my fiance's family's ob-

Thcy are bctter off than my family and are very when he calls on me in the eve-

, V . DELLA ANSWER: If. during his engagement, your fiance is so tied to you, you can be sure the apron won't be untied aftcr marriage. Unless you are prepared to play second fiddle to his mother for the rest of your life, break the engagement.

DEAR MISS DIX: For ten years I have gone with a man who has called fallhfully every Wed- nesday, Saturday and Sunday evening. Now he has suddenly begun to drop the Wednesday date. If he comes at all, it's very late, and he has no ex- cuse lo offer.

VIVIAN C.

ANSWER: A ten-year courtship is a rather long session. Are you convinced of the man's . , serious intentions. or is he whiling nway his time waiting for A less patient prospect? Of course, his failure to appear on Wednesday nights may just be a desire to break a long-standing habit, or it could indicate a definite slack in interest. Better decide which, and act accordingly.

DIVIDED FAMILY

DEAR MISS DIX: My parents are not living together, and my father is trying in get me to hate my mother and keep my 7-year-old brother away from her. I am 14, My father insists on our going to camp this summer, but we'd rather be with mother.

G, L.

ANSWER: This is a problem much too weighty to be solved at your lender years. Your parents have created it: it is up to them to find I1 happy Solution. 1l'y0u can't talk to either of them, try to have a friend of the family, or your minister, intercede for you.

DEAR MISS DIX: At Christmnslime I was going with a young man two years older than I. I am 19. We stopped seeing each other for a while; now when he sees me he acts as though we were com- pleie strangers. What can be the matter with him?

' PATRICIA

ANSWER: The ways of men are beyond the comprehension of lowly women. Your erstwhile friend simply hasn't grown up yet. Either he is shy with you. after not seeing you for some time, and doesn't know how to handle the situation. or he is annoyed at some real or fancied offense on your part and is taking this childish means of showing it. Don't bother your pretty head about him.

DEAR MISS DIX: On what finger should the friendship ring be worn? If the friendship is broken, and the girl keeps the ring, where should she wear it?

LOU

ANSWER: The ring finger of the right hand is the usual place on which to display n friendship ring. it would he very poor taste to keep such II ring when the friendship ends, and much poorer taste to continue wearing it.

I live in a section of the country where there are many horse forms. Recently, at one of these farms, I met a boy who worked with the horses and we became friendly. I am 15. he is 17. One night I went to the farm and learned that he had left without leaving an address.

Gairiis - Fall Wedding

A pretty wedding was solemrilzed at St. Johns Anglican Church. Crapaud, P.E.I., on June 28, when Marion Ruth. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Clarke Fall, and Gordon Dennis, older son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Cairns, Kinkora, P. E. 1.. were united in marriage. The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. W. G. llogg of Charlottetown and the wedding music was played by Mrs. Leroy Howatt.

An arch of white and rlaiive flowers with greenery formed an attractive setting for the bridal party, and the church was beauti- fully decorated with cut flowers. The bride who was given in mar- riage by her father, wore a. floor-i length gown of white giiipre lace. and satin. The collar was trimmed with seed pearls and the front closed with self-covered buttons. The full skirt was ovcrdressed with nylon net and the long sleev- es tapered to points over the hands. Her fingertip veil of illus- ion fell from 9. coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a. bouquet of red roses, and her only ornament was pearl earrings, a gift of the groom.

Her attendants. Miss Doris Daw- son. friend of the bride as matron of honour. wore H. gown of yellow taffeta with matching headdress and mitts. Miss Eva Cairns, sister of the groom as bridesmaid wore
