We have known men, and women too, who were sure they had heart trouble because whenever they had gas in their dia- phragms it presed on the vaults of their hearts and caused slight pain in them. We knew a man who fell from 220 to 170 pounds because he thought he had heart trouble and constantly worried about. it during his waking hours. Finally, his condition became so bad, he was persuaded to undergo a medical examination and lea great relief, his heart was sound and that the felt in that area had been caused by gas. He was the best example of what worry abdut some- hing that did not aes ) advertely affecting a man’s body while prey’ eillhina He’ regaine his weight when his mind was'elieved of its worry. °* We have watched baseball teams in pre-game prac- tice. One team was full of pep, played snappily and han- died the ball perfectly. The other team muffed and bun- gied, lacked pep and snappiness, so much so indications were it would lose the game, but, instead, won it. All of which reminded us of the squally weather we had early this week. Some Key Westers asserted it acted like wedther that precedes the coming of a hurricane and they were right, so far as the acting was concerned. Sometimes it rained and blew a few minutes and then , Stopped, and rained and blew again, and stopped again. Ragged clouds raced in the skies, just as they do when a hurricane is coming, and wind and rain came again in scuds, as they do in hurricanes. But weatherman Sam Goldsmith knew no hurricane ‘was in the offing, and that an easterly wave of squalls, with no circulatory movement, was sweeping westwardly. Other Key Westers, who kept an eye on their barometers, knew also, despite the sudden scuds, that it was not “hur- ricane weather” because the barometers held to normal readings. Indications often leag us into making snap judg- ments, particularly in the case of a man we know only slightly or not at all. We conclude, solely from indica- tions, he is a “pain in the neck,” but when we get to know him well, learn that he is a jolly good fellow. Finally, while going through this “hurricane sea- Yon,” we are likely to get other indications of tropical Wisturbances, which, let us hope, turn out to be as innoc- in he had * “* uous @s the 20-to-40-mile wind early this week. ne Fak ire 5 ip Eisenhower the comptroller’s pay- | | roll.

And-I furiously object to the word ‘candidate’—I ain't and won't?
