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

Psychoanalysis

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

the analyst. The purpose of psy
choanalysis is to help the patient
to become more truly himself, and

spiring against them and that they
must trust nobody but each other.
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

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.

Early Rising After Operation Helps
By Dr. James W. 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.

“Why don’t they marry? I wish

lived literally like a big family.
This is all the more extraordinary
when you think of the variety of
their backgrounds. (Look up the

and Europe.) A good family is a

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. '
