II An Island Farmer: Wlfo

There is, we fancy. much magic And wltchery to be found in the hours of tonight. Subtle elements in these are. both may be seen, if we care to look about -- and are careful to choose the exact time for it. For this is an especial night.

None other up and down the year - not even Christmas Eve, beautiful. expectant and joyous. can lay claim to a. like charm. Be- zause this is seeped in mystery; it is queer and eerie as though strange creatures of: ithe dark, ml!-nice, half-fearful are about, dogging our every step out about- lnd even indoors in the darlmess, once the gray of twilight settles nto the shadows of night.

The air is different. Sounds, even those most familiar. the sud- ien opening and closing of a door; be sound of a dog's bark in the', distance is threaded with a mel-I mcholy quality not there on other nights. And the dark is darker.' And if it be moonlight, that but lends a more ghouhsh background for such ghostly creatures as zhoose to roam.

Small boys will sense the chang- ed quality of tonight. They will be aware of it as they move happily.

something not easy to explain but, nevertheless there, as they go to: their affairs of 1-lalloweien, Evenl we. who have seen and enjoyed! many of these will walk somewhatl circumspectly, should we be oblig-1 ed. say, to come outdoors to the. cellar for some incidental to' .lames' lunch, if it be near the midnight hour.

Right at our shoulder, his breath warm on our car. some Princei Charming out of the young years will stand wordlessly . . . whilewe take something from the shelf. If we but turn we could see his face

. quickly, of course. But who would be so daring in the mystery; of the hour? Better to continue and complete one's mission withl purpose - and dispatch! I

or should we. more courageous. than once, linger in the yard to enjoy the enchantment of it all?! "Only once is year it comes." Jam-: ie said recently, smiling a bit wist-- fully over the thought. Then should we not linger a momentl here in the hope of glimpsing I; witch of the night?" I

There in the dimness above! that line of hills over which the: west wind of morning marches. into this valley . . . is not that in- deed some darkish creature in flight? A conical-batted, sharp- chinned, sombre-clad lady who, sweeps the sky with her broom?l Ayi And there on the near mea- dow where on the aftermath the calves grazed and sunned them- selves on autumn days . .. dear, dear, is that not some ghtxtly fig- ure of I-Iallowe'en' walking there?

And almost beside us. scarcely hidden by that corner of building, what pixie or gobln laughs loudly. flinging his glee on the night

And then going young years we shall recall with certain nostalgia the names and faces of those companions of our youth who once trod with many I laugh and jest - and kindly. those well remembered I-Iallowe'en paths of the long ago.

By Junu W. Barton. MD.

PREVENTING FUTURE AIL- IVEENTS IN THE ELDERLY

"It is well known by lawyers. plumbers, garage mechanics. and other purveyors of personal ser- vices that the public is more ready to make an economic sacrifice to get. out of trouble than ,to stay out.

In medicine this vagary of human nature is demonstrated by the rather adequate remuneration for a routine appendectomy as com- pared with that of a diagnostic

ation including laboratory and other tests) which certainly takes longer and probably demands at least an equal degree of profess- ional ability." I am quoting Dr. Benjamin V. White, Hartford, At- tending Physician. Hospital for Chronic Illness, Rocky llill, Conn.. in Geriatrics. .

Dr. White has in mind the im- portance of preparing the middle- aged and elderly to be reasonably free of preventable ailments in the days to come by giving them a thorough examination before they reach old age. As we know. most physicians are not interested in the "well" patient and it is only

the medical profession as a whole develop a new attitude toward each patient. - (a) as an individual with a chief complaint. and lb) as a person to be screened' for unsus- pected chronic diseases. In his time-honored role as healer. the physician must. listen intently to the chief complaint of the suffer- er uid take whatever steps. hlstorl

to arrive at a proper diagnosis."

We are all aware of the willing- ness of life insurance companies to give free medical examinations to their policyholders at regular in- tervals. not only to correct present ailments or defects but to try to detect any condition or tendency toward future ailments. especially heart. bloodvessel .aiid kidney ail- ments. While getting ahead of pre- ventable ailments is good business to the companies, it is even better bU5ll'lE.E for the policyholder as good health is life's greatest human asset.

Finally. Dr. White states that the doctor who could be effective with elderly patients must. order his day so that he can give the time which is demanded. There should be no short cuts.

Now that the average life span is soon likely to exceed '10 years of age, the great amount of work necessary to keep old folks healthy and happy is indeed great.

larriage Is Not A Trial

Experimental Stage Ends Af Altar

DEAR Miss DIX: Recently you said that an engagement period is A time of trial. What about marriage? Isn't that a time of trial all the way through? While I believe divorce should be avoided, if possible, there are times when it isn't human to expect a couple to live togetlfer. Yet many of them do. despite the fact that one or the other has ceased to love his

Years ago woemn were prone to put up with much more from their errlng mates than today. with her economic independence. a woman doesn't have to ut up with beatings or accept the fact that men husband is running around with other women.

m. IDA E.

ANSWER: Since the space allotted to this col- umn is limited. it was necessary for me to out quite a bit of your letter. This was regrettable since you brought out many fine oints for argument. In some respects you are very right: in others qually wrong.

Marriage is not a trial! That is the purpose of an engagement. A marriage is the consummation of hopes built In courtship. the realization of plans made then, and the welding of a home and fam- ily. For that reason, I strongly advocate that young people prepare for marriage by waiting until they are of reasonable age, are quite sure of their love for each other. and ready to face the obligations of married life together. When such preparations have been made, mar- rings is not likely to fail. .

THEY DON'T CHANGE

Muriel Nlllou

brawllng act, but I young man who habitually frequents taverns is equally unlikely to become I model husband.

I agree with you that it is inhuman to expect I woman to live with a man who mlstreats her, but.,it is usually the wife herself who elects to stay. Every day my mail includes a pile of pathetic letters from women who state. "My husband is an habitual druknard, he beat; me and the child. he gives me "no money. but I love him and don't want to leave him!" Does that sound as though love and re- spect were synonymous? They should be, but -I assure you. in this regard theory does not coincide with actuality. I

Marriage should be contracted with the specific erstandlng that it is for life-in fact, that is the promise made it marriage ceremonies! If more people could acquire a lhorbugh real nation of this most salient fact, they wouldn't enter matrimony so easily. -Mora thought given before tho vow: are taken, would avert most of, tho trouble that comes later.
