THOMAS he Indianapolis Star Time To Retire? Well, Maybe TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1974 Sports Financial Classified Page 17 ABOUT SIX MONTHS ago, Mrs. Jcanette Nolan typed up the last few pages of her 50tfo, book, mailed the manuscript to the publisher and figured it was time to take it easy. City's Director Of CSP Resigns Following Annulment Of Marriage Surveillance Up Near Downtown After Shootings If" "A With 39 books for juveniles, six mysteries for adults, four other novels and one nonaction book assuring her position as the city's most prolific writer in the last quarter-century, she decided to call it a career as an author. It was a career that began way back as a teen they took my nice little story and made it into a mess. I took my children to see it and it was the worst movie I ever saw." SHE ADMITS, however, that the $50,000 she made from the sale of the book to the film industry did much to soothe her discomfort.

"I doubt if I could write a novel the movies would be interested in these days," she says. "But, then I find it hard to believe that some of the trash in the novels and movies today has any real artistic value." Over the years, all 11 of Mrs. Nolan's books for adults have been published in England and in the United States, and many of her works for juveniles have been translated into German, Portuguese, Japanese and Norwegian. In 1967, she was awarded an honorary doctor of letters degree from Indiana University, an honor she especially cherishes since she never went to college. During the last few months of what she describes as a self-imposed retirement in her fashionable Northside home, a strange thing happened.

IT SEEMS her mind refused to retire along with her body. "I couldn't help it," she explained yesterday. "I got this really great idea for a mystery novel set right here in Indianapolis and based on an actual incident. "So, I started doing a little research and then taking a few notes and finally, this last week or so I've been naming the characters and getting ready to go. "Well, I'm at the point now I've got to write the story or I'll never get it out of my mind.

But, this is for sure the last book. Really, I mean that." Arizona Bond Wynn, 30, his second wife, testified the couple was married Aug. 26, 1969; at La Vegas, Nev. LAST OCTOBER she learned that he was married to another woman at the time of their marriage, officials said. Judge Niblack said the former Mrs.

Her writing became only a part-time pursuit after her marriage and it wasn't until her husband's death here in Indianapolis in 1940 that she began again.

FACED WITH the prospect of raising and supporting her children, she knew only one way to earn a living. She purchased an old typewriter and began pounding out short stories for women's magazines. She has lived well ever since. "Although this may sound conceited, I always knew I would be able to write well," she explained. "I just never tried until I had to after my husband's death and I was 40 years old by then." In 1948, her second novel entitled "Gather Ye Rosebuds" was purchased by Paramount Studios and made into a movie starring Billy Gilbert, Mona Freeman and Veronica Lake.

"It was a nice, romantic story about Evansville set in 1910," she remembers. "But KARL WILSON By R. JOSEPH GELARDEN William E.

E.J Yes, it Is possible for a patient with diabetes to have sudden attacks of weakness and dizziness due to a blood sugar level lower than normal. This may be due to too much insulin, or to too little food intake. Some diabetic patients, for no apparent reason, will have hypoglycemic reactions. The surest way to find out is to have a six-hour glucose tolerance test. Or, at least draw a specimen of blood for examination at the time when weakness and dizziness come on.

Steincrohn: I dread the winter months so much I hope to die before they arrive. I hate the cold. I begin shivering as a 1 as September. When I think of midwinter, the snow and cold winds, I feel like hiber a ting.

But I'm even cold In the house. I shiver all the time. Wear two sweaters. My teeth chatter. I've been to two doctors.

When they get through with me they call me neurotic. But they haven't taken any blood tests or other examinations. How can they be sure nothing is wrong? I do know that my blood pressure is normal and my heart is all right. But whenever they (or I) take my temperature it is a 1 ever over 96. No wonder I always feel as if I'm freezing.

This Is nothing new. I don't blame it on the fact that I am 58. Even as a child I used to dread the winter. Never went skating or slcddng because I was always so uncomfortable. I shall be glad for any suggestions.

Mrs. B. COMMENT: I have known many patients who suffered from the cold while others' around them were comfortable. In some- cases I found the reason was an actual allergy to cold. These patients broko out In wheals and had pther manifestations of uller- gy.

However, I ulways becomo suspicious that patients like yourself might have a lazy thyroid gland. To make certain they are not suffering from hypothyroidism, I advise they go to a laboratory for special blood tests. If the thyroid is at fault, thyroid extract often relieves the shivers and shakes. I suggest you see a diagnostician who will take these tests. DEAR DR.
