Other women keep saying all the "If that evening, I had refused my daughter permission to go on that auto trip, she would not have been killed in that terrible accident." I have constantly to keep telling these people that the Good Lord does not expect of us an ability to see into the future. I imagine all He asks is that we do the very best we can at the time of decision. The Naggers Many, women are constantly fussing at their loved ones to do something which will presumably make them more healthy and lengthen tiiteir life. As a man once said, so aptly, he suffered daily "from that form of persecution known as love." Certainly, all sensible women should avoid this constant tormenting of a husband for his supposed good. "Don't eat that egg; don't eat that meat; don't eat that fat; don't put that salt on your food; don't, drink that second cocktail," and so on and on! Worrying is not the exclusive bad habit of women.

As a physi A while ago, I reviewed the his-; tories of 410 highly nervous and worrisome persons to see what they were fearing. Thirty were always fearful they might lose their mind. Twenty-two feared they might commit suicide; 19 said they feared everything; 12 feared being left alone; seven had claustrophobia (a fear of confined places nine feared heart disease; six were terribly afraid of cancer; five were always afraid of dying; five were afraid of fainting; many were terribly apprehensive without knowing exactly what they feared; and there were 50, each of whom told me of being afraid of one or more of some 30 types of disaster! Nearly all of these people were very hard to help because they seemed to have been born to worry, just like some of their relatives. It was no use telling these people that their fears were largely unjustified because they knew that already. I have seen hundreds of very unhappy women who are constantly worrying over the possibility that by a failure of judgment or devotion they had contributed much to the illness or death of a husband, or child.

They kept saying over and over again, "If I had only called another physician or taken my loved one to another hospital, 'V ing into a cancer that great de vastating waves of fear engulfed him and almost paralyzed him. He would get the jitters, he would shiver, and he would telephone me for reassurance. Through the years, I have come to know any number of business men, usually in their fifties or sixties, who told me that they went all to pieces nervously every time one of their aging relatives or friends died. My patient was sure that he was next to go, and so he hurried to my office to be examined. Some of these men took to their beds when several of their close friends or relatives died within a short period 'of time.

See A Doctor Another Important thing is that whenver a person feels ill and starts to worry, the thing to do is to go quickly to a physician and be thoroughly examined. Then, if something seriously wrong Is found, it can be taken care of lm mediately, and save the person agonies oi needless worrying about what It might be. Oftentimes, a much worried woman can be greatly reassured by being shown that she hasn't the disease her father or her mother had. For instance, a young woman whose mother had long been bedridden with a rheuma toid type of arthritis became pan icky when her joints began to ache. I could not blame her for this, but fortunately, after an ex amination, I was able to assure her that all she had was a harm less fibrositis which would never cripple her.

With this Information, she went home happy. As she said with a "Isn't it curious? I still have my aches and pains, but since I have a new name for them, I no longer am frightened." TOMORROW Dr. AWarn tells how to handle the worry habit. He gives practical advice to persons who fear disease, who worry at night and who make mountains out of mole hills. (From Hip book.

I know many a man with a tendency to moodiness, discouragement, and pessimism who comes home every night to greet his wife with the information that his really fine business is soon going Into bankruptcy, and he is ready for a heart attack or a stroke! Then it is up to the poor wife to reassure the fellow and to comfort him as best she can.

Unfortunately, she has to this skill fully, because if she poo-poohs the idea, his feelings will be hurt, and if she seems to take him at all seriously, he gets all the more panicky I They Suffer The physician must never treat the worries of these unfortunate men lightly, because they suffer terribly. I never knew how much they suffer until I got to know well an able business man who told me how, whenever a little 0 i i i'tt-WTr-. i i i Hospi ital Fund Director Harold L.

ROBERTS Rrpnrtrr of Thd Miami Nfwl The hurricane' season opened here today with a warning from the Weather Bureau acainst the "it can't happen here" attitude built up over the past eight, stormless years. "Florida has never been this long without a hurricane since we began keeping records," said supervising forecaster Walter Davis of the Miami Weather Bureau. ''I'm afraid a complacent attitude about storms could cost hundreds of lives if we get a really bad storm here." Dally Flights Now Miami, the nerve center of the hurricane warning service, will be a beehive of activity from now until the storm season ends Nov, 15 whether a hurricane hits the mainland or not, Four extra men from the Lakeland Frost Warning Service are in Miami to lend Chief Forecaster Gordon Dunn and his staff hand.

From here on out, Air Force and Navy planes will be making daily flights to probe the outposts of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, where hurricanes are spawned. Davis said lt would be virtually impossible for a hurricane to slip past the ring of detection and warning devices without being noticed. Radar Net Spread The entire coast of the United States from Brownsville, to New England is lined with radar devices which proble 200 miles out into the ocean. This year the Washington headquarters of the Weather Bureau has assigned a tide specialist to the hurricane belt to forecast the height of the tide in advance of a hurricane. The specialist, D.

Lee Harris, will flit from one city to another wherever there's action to be had. Although winter hurricanes have been recorded, they are regarded es freaks of nature. U.S. Plants Looted In Cuba Raids Vnltrd Fmi Intfrnstlnnsl HAVANA, June 14 Fidel Castro's rebels raided American installations at Nicaro and Moa Bay in Oriente Province and carried off quantities of equipment, reports from the area said today. Sources said the raiders seized a bulldozer at the Moa Bay prop erties of the Freeport Sulphur Company and took office equip ment from the U.

S. government- owned nickel plant at Nicaro They met no resistance at either place. Both installations have been targets for the. rebels in the past. An army drive against Castro was continuing despite heavy rains that turned back roads into quagmires.

'Seven companies of troops ren dezvoused at Santiago de Cuba and took ships for Chivirico and other points along the southern Cuban coast in an apparent attempt to bottle up the rebels deep er in the mountains, sources said, Troops from Bayamo moved Into the Baracao and Guantana-mo areas where fighting was reported recently. Observers spotted artillery fire and considerable, military plane traffic. I i A iV, Jl Avi 'V.
