Training programs under tough Army standards help keep Guardsmen ready for any sort of emergency. These National Guard troops are en route from scene of an air crash.

FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith Going 'Steady' Often Creates Problems THIS WEEK’S LETTER: “I am 13 years old and going steady with a very nice girl. But one trouble with her Is that she is a two-timer. We have been going steady for about six months. In the last three months she has acted like she liked another boy. He is 14 and in the same grade she and I are in. He is the big- shot of the class and I would like to know whether or not to break up with her. My parents think it is just kid stuff, but, you know how teenagers are.” Nobody—but nobody—knows all there is to know about teen agers. They are puzzling, con stantly surprising. They can be al ternately indifferent and highly attentive—and no two are exactly alike. Hut, so are adults. We are after all, individuals and it would indeed be a dull world if we all had the same likes and dislikes and were completely predictable. Should our young friend “break up” with the girl? Our answer to this must be that it takes two to “go steady.” If either the boy or the ghl is going out with some one else, or “likes” someone else—then only one person is in terested in going steady. The other just likes t^ have sorr ^e “handy.” This column is of the opinion that those in their early teens give up too much when they go '‘steady.” Both the boy and the girl “miss out” on many activities and social affairs. Someone may meet “Bill” for instance, and con sider him a likeable, friendly fel low. Maybe a new (jirl in town would like to meet him, or invite him to a party she is giving. Then someone says, “He’s going steady with Jill—invite him, you must in vite her” The same is true for Jill and the “missing out” often ex tends to stag affairs or female get- togethers. Whenever Bill or Jill is mentioned, someone will say, “They’re too busy going steady. Let’s ask someone else.” * Our advice to young teenagers is to be “free wheeling” as long as possible. It’s fun to meet new people, to make new friends. While it is natural to select some one as a “favorite” it is more of a sacrifice than a gain to spend every available minute with this person and “shut out” many other nice people and good friends.

F red Astaire, perennial and amazing dancer, actor, enter tainer and star of motion picture and television spectaculars to end all spectaculars, has been named Champion of Champions—Best Television Performer, in the 11th annual poll of television critics and columnists conducted by Television Today and Motion Picture Daily for FAME maga zine . . . Best network show once again went, to Playhouse 90. The critics named Dinah Shore and Perry Como best vocalists for the eighth consecutive year j .

Jack Benny was named best comedian and his CBS show was first In its category . Lucille Ball held her position as best comedienne for the sixth year and Mike Nichols and Elaine May, who zoomed to popularity last year, maintained their lead this year. Other perennial favorites in this year’s poll were Mel Allen, who was named best sports- caster for the eighth time; Perry Mason was the best mystery show; “Gunsmoke” the best western; Perry Com 1 ” show, the best musical show; “Jubilee USA,” best country music; “The Price Is Right” the best audience participation; Garry Moore, best eiHcee; “Today,” best daytime show”, Hugh Downs, best an nouncer; “Captain Kangaroo,” best children’s show and Chet Huntley best news commentator. These are the favorites of tele vision critics over the nation but apparently the public disagrees in many cases since Mel Allen, for the first time in many years, did not announce the World Series this year; the Perry Como and Dinah Shore shows are losing their lustre, if ratings are to bt oclieved, and there might weli oe a few challenges. fOR BETTER HEALTH By C. A. Dean, M.D. MEDITORIAL: Since the bed wetting problem or habit is in herited, it is common to find that one or both of the parents, a brother or sister was similarly afflicted. It is important to realize that enuresis (bed-wetting) will persist into adolescence before it disappears by itself. Proper treat ment is effective in about 90 per cent of the cases. Victims of the bed-wetting habit have urgency of urination (sudden desire to urinate). Even though the habit may be cured, this symptom frequently persists throughout life. In treating enuresis, first patient and his parents should understand the problem thor oughly. They must realise that the wetting is done uneon* sdously, is no fault of the child’s, and that he probably inherited tte* condition from Mf parents. Since suggestion is a potent weapon the child should be en couraged repeatedly and assured that he can be helped. Several medicines belladona is an old standby, are definitely helpful Some physicians have achieved good results by forcing fluids, thereby giving the bladder more to do and helping it develop bet ter unconscious control. Recently a conditioning device has been developed which seems to be giving excellent results. It consists of a pad attached to a bell which rings as soon as the child starts to wet the bed. (Q) “My husband Is 72 and has cirrhosis of the liver. How long can he live with this condition?” Mrs. E. M. A. (A) It depends on many factors and there is no way I can come close at guessing. His age is defi nitely against him, but with pro per treatment he could live sever al more years.
