These symptons are indirect evidence that the condition exists. We also know that the coronary arteries are most susceptible to the hardening process. As a result, they may be involved long before those of the brain, eye, kidneys, or limbs.

The walk to the arena was two blocks. He put five dimes in the parking meter and left the car at the beanery. Sammy was tired all the time. He was tired of selling cars to suspicious customers; tired of performing as a paid actor in the ring; tired of the nasal whine of his wife. Tired. Tired even in the morning.

The long established conditions, as to Sorh Vietnamese representation in Paris, as to the DMZ, and so on, were reiterated. And they were accepted by Hanoi with the proviso that they should not be called conditions.

A complete and unilateral bombing halt, with no agreed reciprocation, would have been giving something for nothing in its worst form.

I think you ought to throw him out of the ring before the final fall. Sammy didnt have to be told when the 17 minutes were up.

It is what goes on in each individual students mind that is important to success in learning. Research should be centered on the thought processes that make it possible for a student to master the basic principles of mathematics, chemistry or physics. What thought processes make it possible for a student to grasp and retain a comprehensive idea of history? What makes it possible for him to assemble appropriate portions of this knowledge and use them in the analysis of past and present trends in rational thinking. The mastering of computer operations, computer use, biology and medicine and law, each requires thought processes that differ from each other. It is not surprising that many college professors do not accept the responsibility of letting students In on the secret of mastering their subject. While a college professor must have mastered his subject, he is usually not aware of how lie accomplished it. Having little or no training in the psychology of learning, he is in no position to carry out what should be his fundamental task that of guiding the student in his mastery of the learning processes. From through college, each student needs individualized training and guidance. Each brings his own unique background of family training and each adopts thought procedures and forms pre-scho- habits of learning. education can Only individualized guide him in forming efficient patterns of thought. Elephant Gets Boos The Elephant, a big, gentle kid who was still in college, was in the ring when Sammy arrived. There were a few raindrops of applause, and the Elephant walked across the ring and slapped Sammy coming through the ropes. The referee warned the Elephant; the crowd booed; the Elephant made gestures of tearing the limbs from the referee one by one. The match was routine. In the clinches and locks, the big kid told Sammy his next shot, and they worked it out nicely with nobody getting hurt. After the decision, the Elephant roared with rage and Sammy flattened him with a punch and the crowd yelled "Kill im! Sammy looked around as he stepped out of the ring.

Something, it seemed, was always hurting. But being tired was worse. The car crested the hills at 75 and Sammy's eyes watched the needle sleepily. He would make the trip safely once more, and he knew his wife would say: "Did you quit? Did you? Did you? Did you? and he would fall on the bed with his nose in the coolness of the pillow , . . d MATHES CURTIS The Weather And You By Carl Riblct Jr. In the northern regions of our country, people who own swimming pools usually empty them before winter. In the southern parts of the country the pools that are not heated and, therefore, not used, usually remain full of water all winter. But filled pools must be vacuumed clean whether people swim in them or not. And that brings mention of a task that is heartily disliked by pool owners in winter. On a cold morning, when the temperature in Texas, Arizona or California may be down to 40, the water in the pool isn't much warmer. The vacuuming process requires several operations beneath the surface of the cold, cold water that forces the reluctant pool man to shove his bare arm down into it. My, how cold that arm is when it is drawn back up into the air. Apparently what happens is that three is a spasm which causes intense narrowing and even complete closure of the small arteries that supply blood to the fingers. No wonder his hand aches.
