i Quonset-Type Huts Meet Storage Needs 'Little Business' Answers Challenge in Grain Belt Called upon by the department of agriculture to perform a modern miracle, “little business" in 10 midwestem states is tackling one of the biggest jobs of its kind ever undertaken anywhere in peacetime. Its Herculean assignment is the site preparation and erection of 2,- 300 steel buildings—each 32x96 feet or larger—at 670 widely separated locations. The task arose with the grain belt’s acute need for space in which to store the record-breaking carry over of 1948’s corn crop. In line with MIRROR Of Your MIND I g g Never Force Psychoanalysis By Lawrence Gould Grain being loaded into Quon- set huts for CCC storage near Paulding, Ohio. the trend toward economical “hori- ^apta!” grain storage, the depart- men l ordered Quonset buildings for a large part of the necessary new facilities. These arcjsroofed steel units now are mushrooming up be side highways and railroads near farm centers through the efforts of local businesses and labor, rather than the work of transient crews employed by a few big and distant contracting firms. Within two weeks time more than 1,100 concrete foundations had been laid, and erection of,steel was un der way on them in every state. The concrete work alone was roughly equivalent to laying 25 miles of highway in a time that an average road-making crew would require to put down one. Should you urge a person to be psychoanalyzed? Answer: Never! The most you can do is to let him know what the treatment means and give him a chance to observe what it has done for others—preferably your- selt Urging someone to be ana lyzed will make analysis seem to him a way of compelling him to become the sort of person that you want him to be, and is likely for this reason to intensify his “re sistance,” both to the idea, and to the analyst.

Double suicide may follow, al though suicide is more often a symptom of neurosis than of in sanity. Can one person “drive” another insane? Answer: Only if the other has psychotic tendencies to start with. But we do see cases of “folie a deux” (double madness) in which for example, someone suffering from delusions of persecution suc ceeds in convincing his wife—or some other person with whom he i Is a flyer who breaks down “all washed up”? Answer: Not necessarily, re ports Dr. D. D. Reid of the psychi atric staff of the British Air Min istry. Study of the later histories of more than 200 men who were victims of psychological disorders showed that 82 per cent of them were able to return to flying duty, although only 70 per cent proved capable of “sticking it out.” Men judged to have had a “predisposi tion to neurosis” were the poorest prospects for complete recovery, but those pilots who were able to make a real come-back had a cas ualty rate no higher than average. Sweat Down Costs F Sweat down your production costs if you want to maintain profits in these days of declining farm prices. One way to sweat down those costs is to increase your crop yields per acre. More bushels of corn and grain per acre, more pounds of meat, milk, dairy prod ucts and poultry mean lower pro duction costs per unit. On such a basis you can make a profit even if prices slacken further. You can get those higher yields and lower costs with good soil man agement. Good soil management means giving your soil a fair deal. It means supplying the soil a well- balanced ration of plant foods, so crops will be well nourished. It means building up instead of break ing down soil structure and tilth. It means “recharging” the land with soil-enriching crops at regu lar intervals, instead of growing soil-draining row crops year after year on the same land. Dangers of Butchering At Home are Outlined Home butchering is profitable on the farm and many rural families are replenishing their lockers, jars and pantries. But, unless undue caution is used, home butchering can be dangerous. Equipment, too, should be used with care. All knives should be kept in a suitable place when not in use. Hoisting equipment should be checked. A tamper should be used to force meat into the grinder. Attention to Details Pays Off for Hog Farms Attention to details is the biggest reason why some hog'farms earned $2,000 more than some others dur ing the past year. F. J. Reiss, farm management specialist in the Illinois college of agriculture, said that 128 high-in- come hog farms averaged $10,200 earnings from swine last year, while 161 less-efficient farms took in only $8,000. Extra care at far rowing, control of parasites, helped. LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE Poughnuts - wei?E . ORl&lNAl-LY „ "eout, CAKES’ OIVENTO CHILDREN IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR PRAXES.

Barton S OME OLD PHYSICIANS shake their heads when they see pa tients who have undergone surgi cal operation allowed up on their feet for a few minutes in the after noon after a morning operation. Some physicians go as far as to say that as hospitals are over crowded, getting the surgical pa tient on his feet and allowing him to go home in a week or 10 days is just a “scheme” to make more beds available for waiting patients. It was in surgical treatment of hernia, rupture, and later removal of appendix, that early rising was first tried; the results have been so satisfactory that some surgeons al low their patients out of bed and out of hospital in half the time formerly allowed, even when the operation is more serious than her nia or simple appendicitis. In “The Journal of the American Medical Association,” Dr. Amos R. Koontz, Johns Hopkins university school of medicine, Baltimore, states that he is in favor of early rising after operation for hernia. The main argument against early rising is that it puts too much strain on the sutures, but if the su ture line will not hold from the ef fort of standing on the feet, the hernia will return or break down anyway. Dr. Koontz points out that strain ing coming out of anaesthetic and straining in using the bedpan, in creases the pressure on the su tures as much as getting on the feet early on the day of operation. “With early ambulation ( walk ing about the room) the patient does better in every way and there are fewer complications. Healing probably takes place faster for two reasons. “Ambulation (1) increases the blood supply to the wound and (2) tends to keep the patient in positive nitrogen balance—keeping a well person in bed causes a daily loss of nitrogen.” Nitrogen is absolutely necessary to various body pro cesses and forms the largest part of the air we breathe. “Early ambulation does not mean that the patient should sit in a chair for hours at a time es pecially for first few days after operation. The patient should walk around or be lying flat.” HEALTH NOTES The fact that the skin is an organ, and therefore a part of the body as a whole, means that the skin spe cialist of today treats the patient as a whole, besides prescribing the special treatment for the diseases of the skin. * * * Attacks of epilepsy may be graatly lessened or even prevented by more attention to diet There Is nothing that will give quick energy as rapidly as sugar.

He and June have been constantly in each other's company for nearly six years. . ( “During this time my good hus band died, and I resumed my war time job as schoolteacher.

But if ever Bill does re spond to her ardent hints about a home together someday, it is mere ly to say grandly ‘Not until I can take care of my wife without ap pealing to her family or mine.' “Now what can we do?” this let ter ends. “June is too old to be sent away. My son has twice told Bill pretty plainly, in the past year, that we don’t like the situation. Bill explains amiably enough that he has a good job in mind, and June angrily resents interference. Can you advise us?” No, my dear Georgianna, I can’t. A girl’s infatuation for a man of this negative, seemingly undeveloped type is always a mys tery. If Bill were a gallant dec orated hero there would be some understanding of it, but such a man would sweep her off her feet into marriage in a matter of weeks. Bill, sensing instinctively that once removed from his protecting mother, easy pocket money and generally profitless existence, he would be exposed for the weakling he is, calmly declines a matrimon ial entanglement. June’s eyes would be opened to her own fool ishness before the honeymoon was over, but even that situation would seem to me preferable to this. It might make a woman of her, whether or not it made a man of him.

HE FIRST CHRISTIANS didn’t |have everything we'have, but on the other hand they had one thing seldom to be seen nowadays. They did not have the New Testa ment, only the Old; they were not surrounded by an even partly Chris- 11 a n civilization; they had no cen turies of Christian tradition; they had no world -wide Christianity, only a small knot of people in one small and out-of- the-way city, Jerus alem. On the other ^ _ hand, for aQ they Foreman lacked, they had one great thing: Fellowship. We have it too, but too often in a week and watery fash ion as compared with what they enjoyed. ™ ‘ I ■ f 0 0 0 Family Living T HE VERY FIRST Christians lived literally like a big family. This is all the more extraordinary when you think of the variety of their backgrounds. (Look up the list of places mentioned in Acts 2:9,10 An a map of Asia, Africa and Europe.) A good family is a unit. / If little Willie comes down with appendicitis, his parents don’t get oat the family ac count book and figure oat how much Willie has been worth to the family, in dollars and cents, in his eight years of life. Suppose they calculated that his services, such as they are-carry ing in the wood, feeding the chick ens, or what not— had been worth about $23.75 since the last time he waj^ sick, they wouldn’t send little iglwith the note “Please give our opera! Here’s a salad you’ll like: mold canned cling peach slices into lem on flavored gelatin with sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives and crisp slivers of roasted almonds. Try combining pear or apricot nectar in equal proportions with your orange juice for a good tasting morning eye opener. Strips of dried fruits, dipped in granulated sugar make nice can dies for the youngsters. Fruit strips prepared in this way may also ‘be added to yeast or quick bread for extra flavor. budget and that’s all we’re going to let him take out!” it taken t ever operation he needs, the one his parents want him to have, even if it costs 20 times what Willie has been worth in cash. The family give Willie what he needs, and they also expect him to help out in all the ways he can. • • • Church Living QNE TROUBLE with our churches today is that so many of them have actually lost this fam ily-feeling. The early Christians, we are told, “were of one heart and soul.” Could you say of your church that all its members are of one heart and soul? f The early Christians, feeling thus close to one another, “had all things in common.” What do the members of your church have in common? They meet in one place once a week. But what else? Do they even speak to one another? If one member of the congregation falls sick, do the others find out about it quickly, and when they find out, what do they do about it? If trouble comes to a member, do the other members rally around him? Does the church say to Its members, as the Salvation Army does of hard-pressed men, “Yon may be down hot you’re .never out?” Some chnrches have a pastor’s or deacon's fond, to be used In cases of need. Contributors to the fund are as anonymous as are those who are helped by it. The idea is for those who are blessed with large income, or those who may have special windfalls, bonuses, extra dividends, big crops, and so on, to chip in for the aid of all who may run into trouble. • • • Not All Troubles Are Financial J^rATURALLY, not all troubles are financial. Some of the most serious troubles have little or noth ing to do with money. There are many other kinds of needs. For example, in any church there will be lonely people, and you can’t cure loneliness with a check, no matter how big. The minister is the key man, he can locate the needs, hot he can’t supply them all. Lonely , people, those who have been through deep borrow, men try ing to find the right jobs, young folks in danger of serious temptation— a church which is like a family will not let these people fight their battles alone. What we all need is the feeling that we belong. The church can make all the difference between despair and happiness simply by making every single person in it feel that no matter what happens to him, he still belongs; be is more than among friends, he is among brothers.
