L ET us not forget the ancient wisdom
With which our fathers walked their earthly
days:
The saying of grace above a loafj new-broken.
The Sabbath reft, the altars we should raise;
The teaching of our faith to these, our children.
The earnest Study of God’s holy Word;
The telling, again and again, the old sweet ftory
By which an apathetic world is Stirred.
Let us not forget the ancient splendors:
The mountain-top experience that lights
The darkest valleys that our feet muSt travel.
Where God will be, as well as on the heights.
Let us not forget the old, old meaning.
Of the sun and moon and Stars above the land.
Considering these—God help us to remember
That we, like they, are held in Thy great hand.

that Oklahomans would cooperate

state were on hand to join in the
festivities, which lasted for a day

fine entertainment, with an oil-well
fire that sets an all-time high for
similar screen spectacles.

dr and Soul,” "To the Victors”

It has never been recorded that
he was coupled in the betting with
“Dr. Kildare.” Observing him as
he watched the crowds pour into
the Downs for the Derby, we never
got the impression he was thinking
about what to do for the medical
profession rather than what to do
for Churchill Downs.
However, it will be strictly O. K.
to see horse racing advancing the
cause of humanity. It will be a
great conscience soother for Der

trip and the Derby hysteria can
now be, "Can I help it if I want
to see ambitious medical students
get a chance?”

We can picture the wide in

Churchill Downs will probably be

“Ladies and gentlemen,” we
can hear the track announcer
say, “the horses are on their

T HE TROUBLE with you,” Barry
said, “is that you’re too ana
lytical. Why don’t you throw
caution to the wind for once and
marry the girl?”
Hugh sighed. His face took on
that look of faintly aloof indulgence
that he always
conjured when

wouldn’t under-
stand,” he said.
"You’re too impulsive to see what
I’m driving at. Let me tell you, it
pays to be careful.”
“Sure it does. But it doesn’t pay
to be overly careful. How does
Valeria feel about it?”
“How does she feel? How do
you think she feels? When a
girl’s in love she knows enough
to be careful herself.”
“Meaning, of course, that Val’s
mad about you and she’s willing to
wait until you get through analyzing
and justify or compensate her
shortcomings in your mind."
Hugh gestured indifferently. “Fig
ure it that way, if you like.”
“Wouldn't it be a shock to you
if you discovered -yourself to be
wrong. I mean, if Val married
someone else right under your
nose.”
“She won’t," said Hugh confi
dently. “Girls aren’t made that
way.” He stood up. “I haven’t been
studying psychology and human be
havior five years for nothing.”
“But if she gets tired of waiting
and marries some one else in the
meantime, maybe you’ll regret it”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Val won’t
marry anyone else. I know what
I’m doing.”
Barry let a fortnight elapse
before he again broached the
subject of Val. It rankled him,
and he felt better to get It off
his chest. “Hate to mention it
again, Hugh, but Val seems to
think you’ve been neglecting
her lately. Can’t blame her
much, either.”
“Cut it!” Hugh looked ugly. “I
think you’d better let me tend to
my own affairs, Barry. The girl
loves me and when I get around to
it. Til marry her. Goodness, can’t
you understand that a man shouldn’t
jump into such things!”
“Or a woman either,” Barry of
fered. “I happen to know Val was
out with someone else last night.”
“Good. Comparing the someone
else with me will be the best thing
in the world for her—and me too.”
Hugh was annoyed. Blast it, why
couldn’t Barry mind his own busi
ness? Why did he always have to
keep worrying about Val. It was
plain as day that he didn’t under
stand women. Val knew a good
thing when she saw it. She loved
him and was willing to wait. She
was smart.
V AGUELY HE wondered who the
other man could be she was out
with. It was sort of amusing in a
way. Probably Val had merely told
Barry that so Barry would tell
him. Childish. Why, even a first-
year psychology student could tell
you that was nothing but a feeble
attempt on the part of the female
to excite jealousy in the man she
loved.
Three evenings later Hugh’s
phone rang. It was Barry. He
sounded far away. “Can’t hear
you.” Hugh yelled into the
mouthpiece. “Talk louder.”
“I say,” came Barry’s voice,
more distinctly, “that the thing I
warned you against has happened.”
“What thing?” said Hugh.
"About Val. About her marrying
someone else right under your
nose. She’s done it.”
"I don’t believe it,” said Hugh,
feeling for the first time a queer
sensation of alarm.
“I saw it happen,” said Barry. “I
was there."
“Good lord!” Hugh was suddenly
very much excited and very con
cerned.
“You can’t say I didn’t warn
you,” Barry’s voice said, growing
fainter.
“Hey! Hold on a minute, Barry!
Are you there! . . . Yes, yes, I
know you warned me. Guess I was
something of a fool. Who was it
she married? This is terrible!"
“Me,” said Barry, very faintly.
And then the line went dead.

Twine-Tying Baler
Speeds Hay Harvest
Made “Haylift" Work
Possible in West
Over the vast areas of the plains
states where 1948’s unprecedented
snows caused extensive suffering of
both' livestock and human beings,
machines like the one shown above
are beginning to be more appre
ciated.
Not in the actual haylift opera
tions, wherein grain for starving
cattle and food for humans were
dropped from airplanes, but in the
preliminary phase of harvesting,
without which the haylift would
lave been impossible.
The machine shown here turned
out up to 7 bales a minute during
the haying season of last year, add
ing this tremendous output to the
stockpiles of grain from which the
haylift drew its supplies.
Thus the machine helped to pro
vide the thousands of "bombs” of
baled hay with which fliers saved
the lives of starving cattle in a
great rescue operation.
Just a few years ago operation
haylift would have been impossible.
It was not until this machine was in
troduced in the early 1940’s that
farmers could put their hay into
twine-tied packages automatically.
Tomatoes Important
While the average farmer knows
the value of a garden and always
sees to it that he has ample garden
planted to run his family through
the year, there are still some men
who glean their living from the soil
who don't bother to plant a garden.
The aim in gardening, at all, is to
supply the household with vegeta
bles—summer and winter; and the
farmer who does this is always re
paid not only with money saved and
convenience of having supply imme
diately at hand, but also by the
nourishing value of home-processed
foods.
As family sizes and needs vary as
much as individual tastes, the gar
den should be as variable as any
thing could be. Thus a garden be
comes such an individual matter
that the 'seed list for each must be
individually worked out.
However there is a principle in
volved that is general and that is
“planning.” Here is an example:
The tomato is among the most
versatile of vegetables t« prepare
for the table and returns the most
for the garden space occupied. So,
there must be tomatoes. Properly
handled, harvesting may start July
1 and tomatoes may be had fresh
until several weeks after frost, or
for about 120 days. At one and one-
half servings a day, the fresh to
mato amount should be about three
and one-half bushels, as a serving
for five persons is that needed to
can a quart, a bushel canning 17
quarts.
For the remaining 245 days, the
tomatoes must come from cans and.
allowing two servings weekly, 70
quarts are needed, or five bushels
more. The total becomes eight and
one-half bushels, or 510 pounds. A
correctly-tended plant yields 10
pounds and 50 plants are needed. Of
these, 15 should be early (Break
O’Day), and 35 late (Rutgers).
Other crops may be worked out
as carefully based on family likes.
New Variety of Alfalfa
Officially Named Talent
The promising alfalfa variety
known as French alfalfa in south
ern Oregon variety trials has been
officially named Talent alfalfa by
the Oregon state college experi
ment station committee on new
crop varieties, and seed increases
are now underway to insure early
commercial release of the variety
Talent was selected as the name
in honor of the community where

^ ^ Verbal Musing
Not Dangerous
By Lawrence Gould /
Is talking to yourself a sign of mental illness?
Answer: Only if you think some-
>ne is listening. A person may talk
a himself, even out loud, for the
lurpose of reducing his ideas to
vords so as to make them clearer,
ind the practice has been advo-
:ated as a way of learning how to
■peak in public. But the fact that
:ertain types of mental patients
vho live in a dream world are
ipt to be unaware of their sur-
•oundings may lead them not only
:o talk to themselves when they
ire not alone, but to hold ani
mated conversations with people
vho exist only in their sick imag-
nations. >
Can physical disease change
your personality?
Answer: Never entirely, says Dr.
Curt Schneider of the University
)f Heidelberg. Even when brain
njury or poisoning results in in-
lanity, the symptoms will depend
j jo some extent upon the patient’s
iharacter and mental constitution,
ind especially upon "his reaction
» the experience of being ill."
No matter what happen to you,
mentally or physically, its effects
will be influenced by the sort of
person you are, and novhing can
make your mind or personality
exactly like anybody else’s. You’ll
always be YOU.
Is intelligence inherited from
parents?
Answer: Not to any extent we
can count on. The noted authority
on genius. Dr. Lewis M. Terman,
has followed the histories of near
ly 1500 "gifted” children to age
35, and says 30 per cent of their
offspring show superior intelli
gence, but how far this may be
the result of better education and
contact with brilliant adults, no
one can prove. Students of heredity
believe that high intelligence may
be due to a fortunate combination
of the “genes” inherited from
many ancestors, but just having
clever parents does not guarantee
it

Nervous Symptoms and 'Chronic Diseases'
By Dr. James W. Barton
I T IS generally agreed that about
one-half of all patients who con
sult their physicians have no real
physical or organic disease, but
nave symptoms which are the same
or very similar to those present in
organic disease.
In all cases, the physician, after
making a thorough examination.
Is able to tell the patient that an
organic disease is or is not present,
[f not present, he is able to ex
plain to the patient why the symp
toms of organic disease are present,
(t is because of the nervous make-
ip of the patient. I am speaking of
the general run of patients who
nonsuit a physician.
It is interesting to learn of a
{roup of patients, all of whom are
“chronics”—that is, have been un
der the care of physicians for a
bng time.
In the “Journal of the American
Medical Association," Drs. Frank
N. Allan and Manuel Kaufman of
the Lahey clinic in Boston, report
their analysis of the mental, ner
vous and emotional factors in 1,000
unselected cases, in which the
patients had to come to the Lahey
clinic for a general medical exami
nation. They were all chronic cases.
In 594 of the 1,000 cases, some
physical illness was causing the
symptoms; there was no real ner
vous or emotional problem present
that could be the cause or even a
partial cause. In 272 cases the com
plaints or symptoms were entirely
due to nervousness or emotional
disturbances. In 134 cases a com
bination of physical disorder and
“significant” nervous and emotion
al disturbances was causing the
symptoms.
These physicians remind us that
any illness involves a certain
amount of nervous or mental dis
turbance. The patient wonders what
is wrong, what the outcome may
be. The degree of nervousness de
pends upon the make-up of the
patient

HEALTH NOTES
■
Most of us have always thought
that while slenderness of body was
often associated with allergy, as
people were “bom” that way, there
was nothing that could be done
about it It is indeed gratifying to
know that if allergic children are
protected as suggested, it means a
more satisfactory- growth and de
velopment of the body.
Today, the medical profession re
gards alcoholism as a disease which
has its causes, symptoms and meth
ods of treatment as have other dis
eases.
Quite frequently alcoholism is the
result of poor and unsatisfactory
emotional and other life habits.
Sometimes it has caused actual
changes in the structure at the
brain tissue (organio disease).
