STEINCROHN I was visiting with friends when the mother rushed into the room, pale and frightened, saying "I thought he was gone, lying there stretched out on his bed, gasping." We calmed her down and got the story. It was her 25-year-old son who almost brought on her collapse. He had just got up from the floor and practically swooned on his bed after doing 50 push-ups. "Somebody told me it was good for me." Now, it happened that this young man had come home from a full day of work requiring constant physical exertion. He was too tired to eat.

He had sat at the dinner table but excused himself after a bite or two. For push-ups! Many a middle-aged athlete has said to me, after some similar foolhardy physical strenuosity, "There's no fool like an old fool."

Although there is potential danger for the middle-aged and elderly who unreservedly throw their torsos and arms and legs about, the younger generation is not exempt from serious harm. "Somebody told me it was good for me." Who's somebody? For Mr.

I can't tell which foods you may be allergic to. Sometimes the allergist has to go on a difficult, diagnostic trail before he can track down the culprit. But. in answer to your question as to which are the half-dozen most common troublesome foods for the sensitive person, here they are: chocolate, shell fish, nuts, alcohol, strawberries, veal and pork, eggs and milk. Your nemesis (if any) may turn out to be some unsuspected sauce or spice.

As I say, let your allergist do the head-scratching. Mrs. I suppose a corn plaster might be harmless. Nevertheless, better see your doctor for even this apparently unimportant complaint. Any diabetic with "trouble" in feet or legs (however minor) had better get medical treatment rather Winter on the Farm Heavy snow cover brought this scene in the hills of southeast Ohio, with ponies silhouetted against sunrise on a farm at Allensville.

The latest set of for the week ending Jan. 7, showed Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" on NBC's Saturday night showcase to be the most popular film ever shown on television. It had a 38.9 rating (topping the previous record mark of 38.3 for "The Bridge on the River and a 59 percent share of audience. This figures out, according to NBC, at 21,780,000 homes per minute and means that between 65 and 70 million persons watched all or part of the picture. Not only did it lead the ratings for the week but it put the network on top for the period after several weeks finishing runner-up to CBS.

The overall average read: NBC 21.5, CBS. 20.9, ABC 18.4. This was quite a turnabout. Only one other movie made the top 20, ABC's "Roustabout" with Elvis Presley, which finished fifth, behind. "Bonanza," Red Skelton and Jackie Gleasoiw "Bonanza" had the edge on' tl Smothers Brothers this' time, for the dizzy pair land-' ed in a' tie for.

Only newcomers among the leader's were ABC's "Guns of Will.SonneU'.'" 14th (so there's still hope for westerns), "Dragnet" 19th (a new lease on life), "Judd for the Defense" and "Daktari," tied with the Smothers for 20th.

The high rating of the Fresley movie was inter- esting, since NBC also announced it had signed the'' torso singer to his first TV special, to be shown during the 1968-69 season. As part of the deal, he will 'make an NBC-financed movie, as yet untitled, early in 1969 for Thanksgiving release.

These joint TV-movie deals are becoming more and more popular.
