We rread much today about the fear of disease. On the one hand we are assailed by admonitions to heed minor symptoms, transient pains, fleeting aches, feelings of uneasi ness, and the like, and to take proper steps to avoid serious consequences. ' x On the other hand, psychologists tell us that many of our ills are, in a way, figments of our imagination. Sometimes, it is true, a constant preoccupation with one's physical condi tion results in what we know as hypochondriaunwarranted fear of disease. No doubt the public occasionally is confused by these apparently opposite viewpoints of medical authorities. reader of a medical columnist one day may find himself per suaded to have a physical examination. Next day another writer, tells him that 95 per cehf of all ills curethemselves and that most sickness is not of the flesh but of the fancy.' What then should a thoughtful person conclude? Take, for instance, the prograrA of the American Cancer Society, which is aimed at early diagnosis of a .disease that usually can be cured only in the early stages. .The Society's doctors are aware of the possibility that an over-avid concern about cancer, early danger signs might result in the exag gerated fear 'of that disease which psychologists call "cancer-phobia, "cancer-phobia, v They know, however, that persons who develop an unnatural fear of cancer have other fears as well. If the source of their anxiety had not been this disease, it most likely like-ly would have been some other ailment, or condition, or object ob-ject It might even be dogs or cats, or high places, or the dark.':-- The American Cancer Society's early warning program is a calculated risk.

I wish spring would come.".; Dont we all feel that way more or less. We would have had spring about the first of March If we could have ord-ed ord-ed it. What would this have done for us? All fruit buds would have developed; some, into full bloom to be killed by late frosts. Shortage Short-age of Strawberries, apricots, peaches, and even apples would likely have resulted. Then with an early spring: the snow In the mountains . would have melted and the water run off beyond the farms where It Is needed in developing the crops In later season A water shortage short-age which Is an economic loss to us all as well as to the farmer. This jcold weather we . have been having has held back the fruit buds for later, safer development. de-velopment. It has held back the water in the mountains for the day when thirsty crops will need It so badly for growth. : When we feel like complaining about our weather, we need to look around us--see the blizzards, bliz-zards, hurricanes, dust storms, floods, drought, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Then think a little and reflect on our blessings. . , R. L. Ashby. Students Should Be Rotated In Two Shifts By Don Mack Dalton For some time I have thought that our state and .country may save considerable money, anxiety, anxie-ty, juvenile delinquency, and other Ills incident to insufficient school room for our growing: population. - For . Instance: Some of our most efficient Industrial enterprises enter-prises have shift work around the clock and men thrive at it. Three men work at the same place and do the same labor as one man does on single shift, but three times production results. Schools could be run on the same principle. Students in our upper up-per grades, high schools and colleges, could be rotated on two shifts a day. . i v Instead of looking at horrifying horrify-ing murders, crimes, cigarette and beer advertisements on home television, such activity of One-half of our children in upper up-per grades, high schools and -col leges would have that relaxing time cut to half. They could see TV In the afternoon and evening one week and attend school in the morning. The next week they could attend school in the afternoon and evening and not see th e horrifying murders, crimes, cigarette and beer advertisements adver-tisements at home to the evening. eve-ning. ' . This may cut down considerable consider-able Juvenile delinquency . and surely would decrease the necessity neces-sity for more expensive school buildings.-- - --Nowadays --Nowadays two wards are using the same buildings and equipment equip-ment with great success.
