Love For Headstrong, Drinking - Youth A Series Of Hearteches

DEAR MISS DIX: Recently I broke up with Alec after going vlth him for two years. l'm 18, and so is he. We had known each ither only a few months when we realized we were in love. and made plans for marriage. A year ago, however, he began to go around with a group of boys who spent moat of their time drinking. Of tourse this led to arguments between us and we broke up twice, but vent back together. Lately, he has been dating other girls, which led to our last break-up. My family and friends say I shouldn't go back to him, if he wants me. but I still love him, and it would be awfully hard for me to say "No." His mother, who la a wonder- ful person, says he always has been headstrong, but she feels I should give him time to grow up. I am so terribly lonely without him, and want to rush to him when I see him.

MARCELLA M.

VARY SOCIAL LII"!

ANSWER: The heartache and loneliness you feel how. Marcella. are nothing compared with what marriage with the wrong person can bring you. Alec is very young, it's trite, but the fundamental Jrinclples of corisideration and loyalty should be established in the 'oung; they don't come automatically with growing up.

However. although Alec's failings may be due to weak character. i am more inclined to place the trouble on the fact that he began going steady at 16, which is too young an age for a boy to concen- .rate on one girl. Perhaps you made it too obvious that you consid- ered him your property and he felt. impelled to prove that he is still I free. agent, Focussing all your attention on one boy hasnt been Loo good for you. either. and whether you feel Alec will come back )r not, you should really set about establishing a more varied social ife for yourself.

At present. to you. the future looks bleak without Alec. and you are' discounting the thought that he may not he the right one for mu. His general instability. stubbornness, fickleness and concern for iis own pleasure do not add up to satisfactory adulthood. Only you an decide whether his failings can be attrib ed to youth. or. more -,mpm-rant, if they are likely to persist into la er years. Widen your own social circles. then see if you don't regard the boy in a different perspective.

i Mu-iei Nisseo

DEAR MISS DIX: Several years ago my husband and I adopted a child whom we raised with love as our own. When she was about nine she began taking money from my son's wallet, my pocketbook, or those of guests. and. in spite of everything we could do, has per- aisted in the habit until now, when she's 16. Is there anything we

can do to stop this? MRS. M. M.

ANSWER? I notice your letter is written on hospital stationery, and I assume that's where you are employed. Surely you know that this particular hospital has a wonderful child-guidance clinic. and I urge you to take the girl there for counseling and treatment. The underlying cause for her actions must be determined before an effect- ive cure can be made. A personal interview with a child psychologist is the best course to take.

We thlnk now we gathered some of today's gold. saving it against those days to come when winds are drear; gathered it from harvest field and dandelioned meadow, from dimpllng millatream and sun- ny windlng red road to store away as treasure to be used when the Fall binds the countryside in its

gray chill. How lavishly was spread the sunshinel Even the little breeze

more sober we fancied of late. made merry in its beams as it roamed a bit lazily along the fields. It carried. we remember, tiny planes of thlstledown and the ripe fragrance of flower and fruit. And something else again - "It's the funniest thing." Gage remark- ed of his homing from school. "but

these days I run in'- cobweb; in the air . . . floating onesl" Aye. gossamer now floats . . . and Au-

tumn is to be seen as well in the haze on the hills.

We recall now the varied ("- lights of the fruitful gardens that were ours at dinner today: new potatoes from our own patch of these which lies from here in a field across the stream. To come to it quickly. since at present the childrena' rustic bridge is im- possible, one must walk with care along a bridging windfall of spruce. While a. mis-step would not mean disaster, it might afford one an untimely wetting.

A man with a wife, though with- out a grandmother now carried to this one the choice of his early- sown turnips: from his fine gar- den Mr. D. furnished the cucum- bers which, as one school of thought has it." should be sliced and first soaked in a brine - and lthen thrown away!" But. which. nevertheless, provided a piquant addition to our fare. Beets -those that went to make a colorful and popular salad came in a gift from Jeanie, who possesses a very cap- able green thumb, as did the crisp of head-lettuce which served with a. sprinkle of sugar never seems to lose its appeal to this Family.

"More vegetable?" we asked of Mack, our youngest. Grandson, at a. recent dinner. "Well." he con- sidered. poising his fork a moment.

"what I want to know is: are we or iare we not going to have a. dear scrt?" '

We came to Alderlea this eve- ning at Mr. D'a homing-time to see the dahliaa and hollyhocks now in colorful display -- and to find on an oak of our planting the green promise of acorns! To find too. in this and that flower the faces of folks of our memory gar- den . . . We saw Jeanie'a flock of turkeys - "After all, and contrary to Gran'daddy's prediction," she smiled, "I'm going to have more than just. the pair of old ones come Thanksgiving." "Hush!" Granddaughter pered, "they'll hear youl" We picked mellow harvest ap- ples for the children from e. tree. in that remnant: of orchard, talking of days that are past. "Climbed a- way up there to get top apples!" Gage, who is naturally the mer- riest. of them all laughed. measur- ing our gray hairs with the height to be scaled. Then he turned to the others with: "I don't see how she could have - but" with a nod. "I guess we'll have to take her word for it!"

Altogether what. a pleasant. day it has been - this one which let us gather and store away a meas- ure of lta gold to have against the grey days to come! Until tomorrow - - -

LINING OF STOMACH INTO SMALL INTESTINE

I have written several times about the prolapse of a part of the lining of the stomach, which is pushed into the first part of the small in- testine. While occasionally there are no, or only slight symptoms. sometimes the symptoms cause con- siderable distress and the patient. and sometimes the physician. may suspect ulcer or cancer.

In "American surgeon." Atlanta. Ga., Dre. F. M. Spencer. 6. F. Mad- ding and L. R. l-lerahberger report that so many patients with prolapse of the lining of the stomach gave a history of so many different symptoms that physicians were confused as to whether the pro- lapee caused the symptoms or whe- ther there also was present an ulcer or even a cancer. Their experience in one case impremed them with the fact that proliipsed stomach lining may occasionally explain pain in upper abdomen. associated with symptoms in stomach and upper part of the small part of the small intestine-duodenum.

As so many cases of prolapsed stomach lining cause little or no symptoms. physicians are apt. to assure the patient that there is nothing to worry about as regards ulcer or cancer. These three phy- eiciana conclude that. caution is necessary in estimating the effect. of prolapsed stomach lining. "The physician. on recognizing prolapse of stomach lining into the duo- derium, ahould look for ulcer. a prolapslng polyp or inflammation of the stomach. Prolapse of the stomach mucosa (lining) into the duodenum may be responsible for stomach and intestinal symptoms because it is capable of producing bleeding or partial obstruction of the passage from stomach to duo- denum.

What should be done when a pro- lapse is found?

"When X-ray reveals prolapse, the finding should not be ignored nor should great significance be at- tribuied to it until otiher condi- tions (ulcer. cancer. inflammation) are invatigated and are not pres-

HOLD FOR WOMEN'S PAGE A DASH OF COLOR ....... ..

By Joni nanamm Osnadlan Pren sun Writer Even battle-toughened aoldiera like g touch of fashion and those colorful regimental aoarvea Korean

veterans wear are all the rage.

Capt. A. L. Ferguson, a Toronto army public relations officer. says the idea caught. on in Korea and that Lt.-Col. P.R. Bingham of the 1st. Battalion, Royal Canadian Re- giment. gave pernileeion for the scarves to be worn.

Lt.-Col. Bingham is a soldier of the old school, but evidently he has a soft spot for eoldleirly fash- ions.

Korean Veto Only

only Korean vets are allowed to wear them in Canada and some of the .boys bought real silk ones in Japan. .

Private Bill Camler of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps who returned from Korea about a. month ago said: "A number of the medics bought their scarves through a canteen fund."

"It's kind of nice to be able to tell a fellows unit: by the color of his scarf." said Camier. "and they're practical. too. If you're alt- ting in the back of a truck you can use them to keep the dust out of your nose and mouth."

These bright splashes of color against the drab khaki are worn by officers and men alike.
