There's An Answer (by Norrtian Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Afraid Of Death Q. I'm 28 years old, married happily, in very good health and have a nine-month-old daughter. The problem is I am scared to death of dying. I was fine until after my baby was born. I used to be very bubbly and happy, but now I'm uptight all the time. I hope you can help me. A. The real problem is what your negative, morbid attitude is going to do to your husband and baby. You are a young, healthy woman, so get with it and be a bubbly, happy wife and an inspiring mother. " ' •* Make your husband and child your first concerns and you will lose your uprightness and become your naturally outgoing self once again. We have a booklet, Self-Improvement Handbook, which has helped others with problems such as yours, and a copy of it is on its way to you.

Carpenter, Jr., president of the Juvenile Diabetes foundation in Jackson, Miss., in response to a discussion in this column of the problems of a person suffering from diabetes. A portion of the letter follows: "I am distressed by your reply to the woman who wrote that her husband, who has diabetes, has not worked for seven months. Implicit in your statement, 'The fact that your husband is a diabetic is no excuse for his abdication of responsibility for supporting a wife and two daughters,' is the commonly held attitude that one has diabetes: so what? "The husband's unemployment could be related to poor control of his blood sugar level, one of the serious complications of diabetes, or from depression resulting from the disease. Jealousy and staying away from home in the evening suggest the possibility of impotence, one of the problems of males who have diabetes. "You would certainly do the family a service (and millions erf Americans who suffer from misinformation about diabetes) by recommending that the wife talk with his physician about any physical or emotional complications." Doesn't Trust Him Q. I have been married for 10 months now. I love my husband very much, and we are both very happy. But the problem is that there are times I don't trust him. He's made one mistake in our marriage, and I'm not about to stand back and let it happen again. I want to geta job, but I can't trust him without me. I couldn't bear to tell him I don't trust him because he trusts me with all his heart. What can I do?, A. We would suggest that you put trust over your distrust. Your lack of communication can ultimately ruin the marriage relationship. Do you think youcould take it if he frankly ventilated to you the thoughts that go through his mind-including his thoughts about other women? By helping him get these thoughts out, you can strengthen his loyalty toward you. And remember, when you trust a person it often tends to make that person more trustworthy. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.

McHenry Girl Joins Teenage Competition --"Friends !n Service Here" Spring did finally arrive, even if we still have some cool days and nights, and summer is due June 21! The gardens are flourishing and the green of the trees and the lawns is a most welcome change frortii* the "white" we had for so long. Our sincerest appreciation to the Newcomers club for the presentation of a generous check from the Style show held in April, and to the Fox Ridge Woman's club for their happy check from the results of their garage sale in May. God bless all of you! A particular need we have at this time is for drivers. For the 30-31 days of each month we do have folks who take telephone calls for transportation and other requests, but we have only eight who have volun­ teered a particular day on which they would be willing to drive those needing tran­ sportation to the doctor, hosptial, etc. You can chose your day - one that fits into your special busy days - maybe you have a friend who would be happy to join you - you could then pick two days a month - each accompanying the other. Give this some thought and endeavor to assist us in helping others. The experience alone is well worth while, you meet some very fine people and have the satisfaction of really benefitting your neighbors. You would be contacted by the Fish on duty that day to accept telephone calls. You would be given all the in­ formation and then you would caii the party back and make the arrangements. We will be looking forward to hearing from you. We extend a hearty welcome to our new Fish members...we know you will enjoy being with us. Fish has a new speaker, too.
