MIND
Be Sincere
In Your Aims
By Lawrence Gould
Is ‘'determination” the secret of success?
Answer: Only when it is whole
hearted: that is, when it does not
conflict with unconscious fears or
wishes. “G rim determination”
often represents a desparate ef
fort to keep from admitting that
we do not really want the success
which we have been trained to
feel that we must strive for. What
you really want, you’ll automati
cally keep on trying to get, and
whether you get it will mainly
depend upon how well you adapt
yourself to the “realities” of how
it can be had. On the whole, adap
tability is more important than
determination.
Will real danger blot out a
neurotic fear?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Richard
W. Kilby of the University of Den
ver in the Journal of Abnormal
and Social Phychology. There’s a
“hierarchy” in our motives on the
basis of which more important
needs take precedence over rela
tively unimportant ones when
both are present The desire for
self-esteem, which is involved in
most neurotic problems, gives way
to the instinct of self-preservation
in the face of actual danger. He
asserts that psychoneurosis de
creased in Great Britain during
the Blitz, and is rare in cold and
hungry countries today.
Are there limits to how far
back you can remember?
Answer: If you’re speaking of
conscious memory, yes. What is
sometimes called “childhood am
nesia" blocks most of us from re
calling anything that happened
before we were five or six years
old. But this does not mean that
earlier events are really forgot
ten. With the weakening of fear
and inhibition that takes place in
psychoanalysis, I have seen people
remember thrills or shocks which
they experienced at the age of two
or younger and about which no
one could have told them. And
hypnosis can revive events of the
first year of your life.

( KEEPING HEALTHY
Eleventh Year Is Safest in Life
By Dr. James
A FEW YEARS ago we learned
from records of illness at dif
ferent ages that the years between
five and 10 were the ones with the
lowest rate of illness and death. It
is interesting to learn that the age
of 11 is now found to be the safest
year according to the bulletin of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company.
The first year, and especial
ly the first week of life, is
fraught with serious hazards,
most of which begin before or
during birth. When the child
has passed safely through in
fancy, the chances of surviving
from year to year increase with
each advance in age during the
next 10 years of life. After this
the chances of living to the end
of the next year become less.
By the age of 11 the death rate
from infants’ diseases. has de
creased while adult or chronic dis
eases have not yet started. The
death rate at 11 years of age is
just one-half of what it was only 12
years ago.
It will come as no surprise to
M
W. Barton
learn that a large proportion of the
deaths at 11 years of age is due to
accidents, especially among boys.
Parents soon learn that when
a boy does not climb fences,
jump in sandpits or play stren
uous games, he is not like other
boys. On the other hand parents
do not like to see their girls en
gage in any of these pursuits.
Even in accidents in the home,
where the hazards might bo
expected to be nearly equal,
the death rate among the boys
was three times that among the
girls.
While the three diseases causing
most deaths—pneumonia, influenza
and tuberculosis—have been re
duced from between 60 to 80 per
cent in the past 12 years, accidents
lead other causes of death by a
higher margin than ever.
As parents we know that school
principals and teachers are doing
their part in educating boys and
girls in safety methods. It is now
up to the parents to supervise their
children insofar as this is possible
in and out of the home.
KATHLEEN NORRIS
You are hearing and reading
more about how the emotions af
fect the various processes of the
body, causing loss of appetite,
diarrhoea or constipation, rapid
heart beat, rise in blood pressure
and other symptoms.
• • •
A visit to our physician and den
tist, once or twice a year, is our
b««t health insurance.
Unless severe heart or blood ves
sel disease or weakness of the
bones of the spine is present, elec
troshock treatment of the elderly is
considered safe.
• • •
In the armed forces it was found
that recruits who had lived too
much within themselves, not mixing
with others, became neurotic dur
ing the training period for service.
«xyES’M I HAVE a sister and a
them,” the 14-year-old girl said
politely.
“You don’t know them!”
“No, ma’am. You see when we
were little we quarrelled so terribly
that Mama couldn’t stand it, so
she sent Joe to Grandma, and my
Aunt Maggie took Lucile . . .”
“And how long since you’ve seen
them?”
“Since I was 4, and Joe 6 and
Lucile 9.”
The little girl went on sucking
thoughtfully on a mammoth lolli
pop, and I sat thoughtfully looking
at the little girl. We were both at
a company picnic.
Spineless Women
Suppose my mother had been the
Weak spineless woman who was so
obviously this girl’s mother, I
mused. Suppose she had - been so
lacking in character herself that
she could take nursery tantrums
seriously, and had made them her
excuse for robbing her girls and
her boy of the priceless advantage
of being together? I thought of what
my brothers and sisters meant to
me, and of the wisdom and gentle
ness of the government of both my
mother and father, and of the long
years—almost half a century—since
they left their half-dozen children
orphaned, rich only in a devotion
that all the busy years have never
shaken, even for a day.
The love between sisters, the
love between brothers, their pride
and interest in each other—these
are among the greatest privileges
of life. No friendships are deeper
rooted, or more enduring or more
fruitful. To bear these children.
". . . utter desolate loneliness . .
and then toss off any obligation
to train them, to develop their
characters, to teach them the
rules of mine and thine, and bear
ing and forgiving, and sharing and
helping, is a crueler injustice to
them than if she had quietly put
out their eyes.
There’s an ugly score building
up against American mothers. It
isn’t punishable by law, but its re
sults are so frightful that there is
no juvenile court in the world that
isn’t staggered by them.
Not long ago I was looking into
the eager, wistful, puzzled faces of
about }00 boys, their ages ranging
between 7 and 16. They were living
in an institution. I asked the fully-
orphaned boys to raise their hands.
They numbered 16. Then I asked
for half-orphans. There were eight.
Seventy-six of them came from
“broken homes.”
Do their mothers ever think, as
they so relievedly shift off the
small helpless son to some other
woman’s care,—or rather to one-
hundredth part of her care, what
that means to the child? What it
means to have no place at the
evening-table, no room in which
treasure may be stored, books read,
dreams dreamed? Do they ever
think of those hours of utter, deso
late loneliness?
I don’t believe they do. They
haven’t done much thinking up to
this point, so why should they be
gin now? They’ve taken their wed
ding vow, as we all did; they’ve
promised to be faithful, for better
or worse, until the end.
Children are a care. Children keep
parents at home. Parents don’t
want to stay at home. Sitters cost
money. The bright, hopeful, loving
eyes of the children have no appeal
here. Somebody tells Mama that
if Dad goes on acting that way,
she can get a divorce, and put the
little boys at St Peter’s.
Mama tells the good managers
of St. Peter’s a pretty convincing
story. She doesn’t hesitate to black
en the name of the man she loved
just a few years ago, the man who
is the children’s father. He is a
skunk, and Mama is an abused
angel, and the boys are herded
like little sheep into the big bare
anaesthetic-scented institution, and
promised letters, games, presents,
clothes, thoughts and love and
prayers by Mama. They never get
any of these, by the way. With the
children out of sight, parents for
get promises.
We can’t have too much regi
mentation in this free country ol
ours. We can’t stop divorces, de
sertions, selfish dads, hot-tempered
mamas, undisciplined natures that
break up homes at the first test.
The judges in our courts of do
mestic relations do what they can.
The churches do what they can.
What’s the answer? I don’t know.
But I know that if business men
and women broke their promises,
dodged their obligations and threw
over their responsibilities as many
parents do, there wouldn't be any
country.
Serve Frosty Cool Food
During Sweltering Heat
To Tempt All Appetites
W HEN the sweltering days hit
us, there’s nothing more pleas
ing than to have plenty of frosty
cool foods to tempt heat-ridden ap
petites.
Mothers, too, can keep a lot cool
er and comfortable while they pre
pare chilled
rather than hot
foods, and the
former can be
just as nourish
ing. However, if
a hot food is de
sired, it might
easily be a cup
of hot soup or
a toasted sand
wich to serve with the salad, for
neither of these takes long enough
cooking to heat the kitchen or the
cook! .
Salads as main dishes should be
nourishing, so plan to build them
with meat, fish, fowl or cheese,
one of the good protein foods which
are needed daily. Fill them brim
ming with vitamins and minerals
to keep their energy—giving quali
ties high.
• • •
P REPARE salad ingredients in
the cool hours of morning so
they will chill thoroughly and need
just mixing at lunch or dinner
time. This cuts down preparation
time when energies are low and
the heat is at its highest.
Tomato Crabmeat Salad
(Serves 6)
6 large ripe tomatoes
1 can crabmeat
K cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon chili sauce
2 cups finely chopped celery

Scald tomatoes one minute in
boiling water or turn over heat on
a long fork to loosen the skins.
Peel and scoop out center. Sprinkle
the tomato cavity with salt and
turn upside down to chill. Mix all
remaining Ingredients, except eggs.
Fill tomato cups and serve on a
bed of greens, garnished with egg
slices.

‘Hearty Salad Bowl
(Serves 6)
1 cup cooked ham, cut In
thin strips
1 cup Swiss cheese, cut in
thin strips
4 cup cooked green beans
1 cup raw carrot strips
One of the most delightful
salads ever devised is a frozen
fruit salad with whipped cream,
banana, pineapple and mara
schino cherries. Use this salad
when the rest of the meal has
been on the light side, or as a
salad dessert with cookies or
small cakes. It’s perfect, too,
for entertaining.

balls to give a rainbow effect.
Serve with dressing made as fol

H cup salad oil
H cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup chill sauce
1 cup chopped watercress
Stir together all Ingredients until
thoroughly mixed. Serve well
chilled.
Wash and prepare all fruits and
vegetables as soon as they come in
from the garden, orchard or mar
ket. Then they’ll be ready for meals
while you have other things to do.
Make ham or meat loaf and plan
to serve it hot or cold depending
upon the temperature. These may
be baked along with other foods,
then chilled. They require little
heating if you want them hot.
Several jars of sandwich fill

Singing, Shining
Lesson for August 21, 1949
E VERY ATOM <■? the universe,
said Calvin, sparkles with the
glory of God. That is our thought
for this week: In the created uni
verse we can see
the God who is
more wonderful
than all his works.
The selected Psalms
express four differ
ent aspects of God's
crc utive power.
Psalm 8 brings out
the dignity and the
glory of man. made
to be master of the Dr. Foreman
earth; Psalm 19:
1-6 listens to the majestic music of
sun and stars; Psalm 65:9-13 sees
nature as a farmer sees it, in terms
of sun, rain and crops; Psalm 104,
one of the noblest poems in exis
tence, celebrates God’s glory in all
things great and small.
* • •
Mystery
T HESE inspired Psalmists saw a
high truth: Nature is for man’s
use, in part, but it has also a value,
a beauty and a splendor all its
own; and it is one of the ways by
which we can know Goa. What is
true of nature is true, tar more, of
the God who created all things. One
of the thoughts suggested to their
minds was the mystery of nature.
Even today, with all that
science has discovered, there
is mystery in the most elemen
tal facts of existence. What is
light? What is life? What is
energy? Where did it come from
and what is the destiny of it
aU?
A common grass blade performs
miracles that chemistry has not
yet initated. The mystery of nature
suggests the deeper mystery of
nature’s God.
• • •
Power
W E ARE beginning now to real
ize, even better than the
Psalmists could, how much energy
there is in nature. We have seen
tragic evidence of the atom’s pow
er. Now we have also found that
while energy cannot be destroyed,
it cannot be created by us, though
it constantly changes form.
As the water in a power sta
tion which has ran through a
turbine will not climb back up
to turn the turbine again, so
the whole universe (they tell
us) is in the process of running
down.
But how was the universe bom,
how was energy bom, in the first
place? How was the universe, sc to
speak, wound up? Science does not
profess to know; but religious an
swers by faith: In the beginning,
God . . .
a. * *
Beauty
T HE writer of Psalm 104 was well
aware that some parts of nature
are useless to man; but he re
joiced in them none the less. Few
of his neighbors had any use for
whales, for example, but he takes
delight in the whale (he calls him
Leviathan) just playing in the
ocean. St. Augustine, in the same
mood, says somewhere about things
like wasps and spiders that if we
could forget that they bite, we
would be greatly awed by their
beauty and the perfection of their
mechanism. Indeed, St. Augustine,
in cite of his prayers, calls God
“Pulchritudo,” Beauty. Just as
God is The Truth and The Good,
so he is The Beautiful.
• • •
Law
T HE writers of these nature-
Psalms (especially 19 and 65)
were impressed by another
fact about nature: its regularity.
You can count on the sunrise, you
always know which order the sea
sons will follow. Even things like
earthquakes and tornadoes, which
seem pretty unpredicable, follow
laws of their own. Science has now
shown this to be true on a cosmic
scale. The stuff of which the farth
est s*ars are made is just the same
(only a lot hotter!) as the stuff in
the rocks under your feet at this
minute.
The laws that govern the fall
of a leaf or the shape of a rain
drop are the same laws that
can be seen in the whirling of
atar-dast fifty million light
years away.
The Creator of all is not erratic,
eccentric or capricious. He is the
God of Law, for from his infinite
Mind come all the patterns, known
to us or yet unknown, by which the
vast fabric of the universe is woven.
Mystery, Power, Beauty, Law: All
nature, not only the stars, shine
with all these—and as Addison
says.
“Forever singing as they shine.
The hand that made us is divine.”
