ULCERS PREVENTABLE, DR. EICHENLAU SAYS The main strains that lead to ul cers are emotional, but most ulcers (if not all of them) can be warded oft, according to Dr. John E. Eich enlaub. of the University of Minne sota Schoot of Medicine. He tells how to avoid ulcres in Today's Health magazine, published by the American Medical Association. "There is nothing mysterious G R U E N $29,75 Up ft Win Hold Any Item Til Xmas Geo.Currin Jeweier Dial 5538 CoUege St about an ulcer. It is a hole in the protective lining ol the stomach or upper intestine," he said. Through this hole the acid and digestive juice made in the stomach will eat at the tender underlying tissue. "But this doesn't just happpen. It's the end result of two physical and chemical changes. " The changes come from the sto mach's overworking — making too much acid and juice; and from a loss of vitality in a patch of the stomach wail or upper intestine. Both these things happen mainly because of certain kinds of emo tional stress Dr. Eicheniaub said the emotions you "swallow" are more important L ^ (C/e Aope racers ansM/ereJ ^Ats (PArt^^ywas w^A fAose gf^s ^OM cAcrysA wos/.. ay?t/ wav ^OM eM/o^ fAew ^Arotv^Aoa^ ^Ae ^ear.

Resentment, feelings of being wronged or unap preciated. and insecurity are the biggest ulcer causers. These are es pecially abusive to your stomach if they are given no outlet in words or action. Avoiding these feelings, spread ,ng them out so they don't pile in sult in your stomach, and giving them healthy outlets are the keys to warding off ait ulcer," he said. "These things, plus a few changes in your habits if your problems are many and hard to handle, will db the job. " He gave three rules for stopping an ulcer belore it starts: First, steer clear of situations that cause t hese en.otions. Say no to excessive demands by others. Second, change your attitudes about keeping it to yourself if somebody steps .on your toes or asks too much of you. Sound off. Take it easy, do your best, and what you do wiii be good enough Thtrd. and most important, find outlets or antidotes for resentment, frustration, hurt, and inadequacy. Convert these feelings into action or air them in conversation. Dr. Eithenlaub suggested smash ing at a golf bail, beating a carpet, or entering into competitive sports and constructive hobbies to "work oft these bottied-up feelings. If you can t do tins right away, make a mental note of something that upsets you. and work it off later. Two other simple steps are worth taking when stress is great, however," he said. If you find ten siotis piling up on you. take a glass of milk. And be sure to avoid those straws that break the capiel's back, excess alcohol and tobacco, at times of extreme stress." Gruesome Twosome May Cause Troubie Longer Hours of Darkness and Weather Conditions Cause Accidents RALEIGH.— Skidding and poor vision are a gruesome twosome," Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed ward Scheldt said this week in iist mg two conditions as being pri marily responsible for the increased naiarus of winter dr'.iing. Inadequate traction and reduced visibility." he said, "when combin ed with the normal hazards of ev ery-day driving, can easily trap the unwary driver and lead directly to an accidtnt.' Statistical studies made by the Motor Vehicles Department have indicated that there are two major factors in whiter time traffic acci dents, Scheidt said. "Reduced visibility." he explain ed. is brought about by longer nours of darkness, bad weather conditions caused by heavy rain or Siiow ai d obstructions to the driv ers vision from frost, ice, and mud dy windshieitfs." He pomted out that the mileage death rate after darkness is about three times the daytime death rate. "Special studies. " nc said, have shown the driver s vision was ob structed by rain, snow or ice on the windslueid in 143 of tne state's 37! iatal accidents last year. "Snow, sleet, and ice are the thief causes of inadequate trac tion." Scheidt pointed out that accord ing to the studies, the weather was iainy. foggy or snowy in 123 of the fatal mishaps, while wet and mud dy roads were reported in 120. "The answer. " he said, "is to siow down and drive with the ut most caution when rain, snow and ice coat the highway ." The vehicles commissioner urged every Tar Heel driver to take extra precautions during December and particular iy not to be caught una wares by the "gruesome twosome" of skidding and poor vision. DR.
