FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER
EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON
Brevard Rofcarians are try*
ing to set a civic club record
in giving money to the
Christmas House.
But they are getting the
help of a lot of people.
First, they are accepting
50c donations on a $50 ladies
leather handbag, and second,
they have a $98.95 portable
Zenith tv set on which they
are asking donations of $1.00.
The club itself and indi
vidual members have raised
over $100. Together with the
two projects, the Rotarians
should have three or four
hundred dollars: All for the
Christmas House.
If your club beats this,
please let us know so we can
give you some well deserved
publicity.
We have our fingers crossed.
We sent our application in
for tickets the moment that it
was announced that Carolina
would play Georgia in the
Gator Bowl.
Dr. Carol Grahl did likewise.
But we haven’t heard any
thing yet.
We remember so well the
last Gator Bowl that we saw.
Carolina came out on the long
end of a 35-0 victory over the
Air Force, and Jerry Cabe (Dr.
Jerry Cabe now) was one of
the Tar Heel stars.
We’re anxious to go back and
to stay on Jekyll Island. Can’t
evtj^ijtelL^) Ju^ might get in a
Bowl too.
If you hear of any extra tick
ets, kindly let us know. Thanks!
We have two big events to
cover on Saturday: The WNC
Awards Luncheon in Ashe
ville and the big Shrine Bowl
game In Charlotte.
That means that Bill Norris
wiU go one way and we will
go the other.
Transylvania has three fine
entries in the WNC Agricul
tural contest, and we look for
the county to again be a top
winner.
And the Shrine Bowl prom
ises to be the biggest game
ever.
Transylvania will be well
represented there by star
end, Darius Holtzclaw.
We’ve seen several of the
games, and we’d like very
much to see this one.
The motto of the game is
“Strong legs rvn that weak
legs might walk”.
The Shrine Bowl Game,
from a modest beginning hi
1937, has become a sports tra
dition in the Carolinas—rank
ing alongside Duke vs. North
Carolina and Clemson vs.
South Carolina for football
fan interest.
Like (hey ray, it pays to ad
vertise. Witness this little ar
ticle which appeared in the Op
timist Bulletin of Palo Alto
Menlo Park, Calif.:
A small ad in several news
papers reaped a rich harvest
for the clever book salesman
who inserted it. It read,
“What every girl should know
before she marries. Profusely
illustrated . . . specific instruc
tion . . . sent in plain envelope.”
In each plain envelope was a

ATTACK BY BOGOS

WASHINGTON—In the days tyat followed House Majority
Leader Hale Boggs’ ‘‘we are Jiving in a .police state'* blast
'at the FBI, one question echoed throughout this capital: What
;prompted the seemingly irrational attack?

In possession of his faculties when he made
that statement'*
The Boggs speech went far beyond his as
sertion that congressional telephones have
been tapped by the FBI—a charge that the
Louisiana Democrat failed to prove.
‘ Indeed, he acaased the FBI of "adopting the
tactics of fitter's Gestapo and the Soviet
Union."
Hal* Boggs

Investigation of' this affair, But there axe
many hero who are just as anxious to see a
probe of Boggs as they are to see an unmask-,

The FBI say* Boggs is not under surveil
lance. But a spokesman declined comment when asked if Boggs
imi ever been the subject of an F$I investigation. It is common
knowledge here that he has been—and for good reason.
Justice Department sources say Boggs waa twice interviewed
in the fall of I960 by agents investigating his efforts on behalf
of a Baltimore contractor to gain a $5 million claim against the
government for construction of an $11.$ million, garage under the

When you think of prescrip

By LESTER I* COLEMAN, M.D.
Do You Need a Psychiatrist?
DO ALL people with a neu
rotic problem need the help of
a psychiatrist?
Mrs. N.J., Calif.
Dear Mrs. J.: That depends
upon the severity of your
problem. When a neurotic
problem interferes with a
woman’s ability to be a com
petent mother,
a good wife,
and a contrib
uting member
of the com
munity, spe
cialized psy
chological help
is necessary.
Likewise,
when men fail
as husbands,
Dr. Coleman fathers, or in
their jobs, the
same help is needed.
In many instances, the gen
eral family physician is in a
good position to help uncover
the basic cause of mild neuro
ticism. This, of course, means
that you must frankly and
honestly talk about your prob
lem.
It may be necessary to make
a special appointment with
your family physician when he
is relatively free and can give
you the time you will need.
Talking out your problem
with a sensitive, well-trained
listener can often pinpoint the
difficulty, without the need
for psychiatric help.
If the family doctor feels
that the problem is too com
plex and needs the specialized
help of a psychiatrist or psy
chologist, he will recommend
one.

Can a plastic surgeon pre
dict the exact shape o' a nose
after an operation?
We want to have it done
for our daughter, but we won
der if she will be satisfied
with the result.
Mr. & Mrs. S. T., N.J.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. T.r This
Is a most important question,
and I hope I can help yDU._to
make your decision.
Far too often, patients about
to undergo plastic siifgery
want an exact description of
the post-operative appearance
of the nose. In fact, many will
specify their preferences.
I know of many instances
where plastic surgeons were
accused of promising & spe
cific result when such promise
or guarantee was never made.
In their anxiety, patients fre
quently misinterpret, forget,
or even distort the conversa
tions with the plastic surgeon
that took place before the op
eration.
The result is that many
good operations bring disap
pointment rather than en
chantment.
Plastic surgeons can,, of
course, perform the mechani
cal aspects of surgery. B (t
predicting the post-operative
shape of the nose is just not
possible.
Some noses are remarkably
simple to re-shape; others can
be extremely difficult. Im
provement almost always oc
curs, but even the most skill
ful surgeon cannot re-create
the profile of an imagined
movie star.
SPEAKING OF YOUR
HEALTH: Illness is an ex
pensive luxury. Preserve good
health.
