Chi-Ches-Ters Pills For relief from "periodic functional distress" Don't Be Afraid (Continued from page 34) of the dream is real, too . . . that it will all come true. His fear, his purely imaginary and fantastic fear, nearly defeats him. Possibly it does defeat him. That depends upon how you, yourself, view the story. But it is true that imaginary fear is sometimes more devastating than fear based on fact. XA/ELL, I thought I had learned my les» T sons pretty well and that I was getting along nicely. I had overcome the usual, foolish motherly dreads when Dion was very young. I had reached a stage of placid (I thought) poise. And one day Bob announced that he wanted to take up flying. I was innately terrified of the air and this was a new hurdle for me to take Of course Bob didn't know how I felt. I sat down and tried to analyze all the affirmative things I knew about him the fact that he is naturally cautious, that he is sensible, that he never goes recklessly into anything, that he is always sure of himself and makes me sure of him. I kept telling myself these things until I was on solid ground again and could rationalize the extraordinary qualms I had been feeling. But his mother was even more frightened than I was and she came to me and asked me to plead with Bob to give up the whole idea. In my talk with her, I said, "We can't do this to Bob. Here is something he wants to do, something he has no fear of. We dare not, we must not make him aware of fear. We must none of us . . . ever suggest or instill fear in another person."' So the two women who loved Bob Taylor conquered the fears they had for him so that he wouldn't be hampered in doing something he felt was right for him. His mother overcame hers so well that she has flown with him. We both have. Right now we must realize, as we never did before, how important it is that we do not pass fear along to anyone else — to our neighbors, our friends and most of all to our men. MOW that Bob is in the service, all the 1 x men in my family are in uniform. I have a brother in the Coast Guard. We don't know where he is. I have two nephews (my sister's sons), one in North Africa, one in the South Pacific. I am taking the "affirmative" attitude that they will all come home. I don't want to seem to be lacking in common sense or realism. We know that not every fighting man is coming home. But let's not riddle our days and our lives with the terror of anticipating that they won't. The sheer waste of so much unnecessary anguish is appalling. Have no doubt about it — Mrs. Rickenbacker's faith helped Eddie Rickenbacker when he was floating on that open sea. Have no doubt that complete faith of myriads of mothers, wives, sweethearts, sisters will protect their men ... if they don't send them fear. Call me a Pollyanna, if you will. But I know that the attitude will make us stronger, brighter — yes, sweeter women — for our men to long to come home to. And that alone will be worth the effort. Don't be ashamed of fear. Be ashamed only of anything that can conquer you. Use your fear to make you strong. Don't let it abuse you. Another thing I learned about conquering my own qualms. That is to look at your neighbor's problems. They always seem so much easier to solve than your own. You can see how clearly and sensi You might buy too few War Bonds! You can't buy too many, or too soon.
