D*«r R**d*rt: This month
marks the 18th year of my
career as Ann Landers We've
gotten to know each other
pretty well You've blessed me.
damned me. been delighted
with some of my answers
and disgusted with others
When you've cried on my
shoulder I've comforted some
of you and told others to turn
off the waterworks ami stop
wasting the natural resources
On occasion you've persuaded
me that my advice was wrong
and I've reversed myself.
But I've been right more than
I've been wrong—and with
good reason. I tap the best
brains in the country for my
answers
Since a great many physical
complaints are closely related
to emotional problems, I've
prevailed upon some of the
country's most ’ distinguished
physicians to be my consultants.
With the help of these special-
ists I've been able to alert 54
million daily readers to what’s
new in health care. Some of
you have written to say l
may have saved your lives.
When I ran the column urging
you tb send for the American
Cancer Society's free booklet
on bjeast self-examination,
nearly half a million women
wrote to the national head-
quarters in New York 'or to
their local Cancer Society of-
fices. Thousands of women did
find lumps—most of them were
benign, but some were malign-

ered early, hundreds, maybe
thousands, of women will live

“Cinderella" a play for child-
ren (but we understand enjoyed
by adults as well) will be pre-
sented at Incarnate Word College,

p.m. Thursday* Friday. At 11:00

you're in San Antonio it should
be worthwhile taking the child-

Happy birthday to Richard Car-

A thought for the day:
Spanish philosopher George
Santayana said, “There is no
cure for birth and death save to
enjoy the interval."

It deals with a disease that
most of you will be shocked
to learn strikes or out of
every ten Americans. I am
talking about hypertension—com-
monly known as high blood
pressure.
Over 23 million Americans
have high blood pressure. Half
of these sick people don't know
it because usually there are no
symptoms The person who
DOES have symptoms—head-
aches, dizziness, fatigue, low
sex drive in the prime of
life—is lucky because he just
might go to a doctor BEFORE
he suffers a stroke, gets a
heart attack or is stricken
with blindness or kidney failure.
High blood pressure strikes
the rich and the poor, the
tense and the relaxed, the old
and the young. If you are over
50, the chances are one in
three that you have it. If
you are black, you are twice
as likely to have it, and more
susceptible to the consequences
than if you are Caucasian or
Oriental. If you are a woman

Screwworm Eradication Pro-
gram is having a good year
in Texas, says Dr. M. E.
Meadows
He is veterinarian-in-charge
of the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture (USDA) program to
eradicate this pest which affects
all warmblooded animals. Mead-
ows compares last month's
1786 Texas cases to 16,882
spread almost evenly over the
state in September of last year.
The heavy screwworm in-
festation in South Texas, where
811 cases were reported in
Brooks County alone, is credited
to two inter-related natural
factors an abnormally warm
and wet summer, and the high-
est incidence of the Gulf Const
tick since the summer of 1949.
To combat this pest, 470,663,
200 sterile but sexually active
screwworm flies, produced at
the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Services's (APHIS)
plant at Mission, were released
in Texas during September.
