HELPING HANDS — National Guardsmen are usually among the first volunteers at the scene
of a disaster. 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

and television spectaculars to end

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
. In the most promising cate
gory, Edd “Kookie” Byrnes and
Tuesday Weld finished first close
ly followed by Nick Adams and
Connie Stevens . . . 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.

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.
