Budget Problems
By Lawrence Gould
Can wifely extravagance be cured?
Answer: II it’s real extrava
gance, not just the protest of a
;stingy husband, it is obviously
}a childish characteristic based
jpartly on a wish to hurt the hus-
jband and partly on refusal to ac
cept tiie painful fact that she can-
Jnot have everything she wants.
{Both feelings are usually stronger
jin a wife who has no fixed allow-
;ance or share in control of the
family finances. Let your wife
help plan the entire family budget
and it will be easier for her to
realize that to spend money un-
'wisely cramps her style as much
as it does yours.
Do we make the world
we live in?
Answer: Much more than we
realize, writes Edgar Rubin, Nor
wegian psychologist. What we
think of as our everyday world—
the world of objective things like
trees, houses and people—is really
created within ourselves by our
thoughts, attitudes, opinions and
biases. We accept the way things
look or sound or feel to us as what
they actually are and give our at
tention mainlj to the aspects of
them that meet our emotional
needs. The neurotic and the
healthy-minded person thus live
in quite different worlds because
they are different people.
Can a cynic be “idealistic”?
Answer: Yes, says Dr. Martin S
Fritz of Iowa State College. Re
sponses of students to 200
“weighted” questions showed that
although they were more prone to
idealism than to cynicism, every
student expressed both highly
idealistic and highly cynical views.
Actually, cynicism is only ideal
ism “in reverse,” since you must
at least unconsciously have ideals
or you would not become bitter
over other people’s not conforming
to them. If you did not feel your
neighbors should be honest, their
dishonesty would not disturb you.

Controlling High Blood Pressure
By Dr. James W. Barton
A S HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
is the cause of most of heart
stroke (coronary thrombosis) and
brain stroke (apoplexy), physicians
try to caution patients about the
risks they run if they are careless,
and point out how they can live
safely with high blood pressure as
long, or nearly as long, as if they
had normal pressure.
Besides being given medicines
to quiet and relax the blood vessels
and rest the entire body, these pa
tients are put on a low salt diet,
must avoid tobacto and must not
allow themselves to become over
weight
In “The Canadian Medical Asso
ciation Journal/’ Dr. E. Maurice
Heller states that obesity (over
weight) is usually, but not always,
one of the associated causes of
high blood pressure, “but so often
the blood pressure drops signif
icantly and even becomes normal
and remains so if weight is kept
within normal limits.”
As long as the patient is over
weight nerve cutting should not
be done, as reduction of weight
may be all that is necessary to
bring blood pressure down to safe
limits.
Other methods of reducing blood
pressure before surgery is used
are rest, sedation (quieting of
nerves with certain drugs) and
psychotherapy (common sense ad
vice as to why pressure is up and
how it can be reduced).
Dr. Heller points out the well-
known fact that the emotional ele
ment, even in some cases where
there are real underlying causes
for high blood pressure, is very
important and, that by helping the
patient to acquire emotional con
trol alone, the high blood pressure
mhy entirely disappear.
The effect of emotion on the body
mechanism should be explained to
the patient in simple terms and
he should be instructed how to alter
his daily routine.
By showing him how his blood
pressure drops when he rests and
This method can best be followed
in a hospital, but can be followed
to a considerable extent outside
the hospital, the patient reporting
to the physician’s office at regular
intervals.

The sportsman, or the camera-
devotee generally, who has not
turned to shots in field or on stream
to sharpen his camera eye or to
add to his collection of prints, is
passing up a lot of fun and sport.
Too, he is overlooking an oppor
tunity to amass a great deal of
practical knowledge which should
stand him in good stead when he
picks up rod or gun for the real
thing.
The particularly important part
is that the camera enthusiast who
seeks some of his sport snapping
wildlife in his hunting or fishing
area doesn’t have to be a profes
sional with a thousand dollars worth
of equipment. It is true, of course,
just as with fishing and hunting,
that the pride in ownership and
use of the best possible equipment
is always an added and most enjoy
able part of either sport. But it
should be emphasized again that
the best equipment that can be had
is not absolutely necessary to en
joyment of one’s favorite field
sport.
It is a generally-held belief among
many sportsmen and other camera
addicts that the more expensive
the camera, the better the result
is sure to be. Nothing could be
farther from the truth, because in

This honor-award photograph
“Hunter Shooting Pheasant”
submitted by Harry Lanee, Jr.,
of Philadelphia in the non-pro
fessional class of the Graflex
photo contest, shows something
of the thrilling moments afield
in store for the sportsman-
photographer—and one doesn’t
have to be a professional lena-
man, either.
the last analysis a great deal de
pends on the man behind the lens.
In fact, many amateurs are often
surprised to discover that they can
get just as poor results with an ex
pensive camera as they can with
the cheaper ones.
To trot out a fundamental, it is
always necessary to stay within
the shooting limits of the camera,
just as one should keep within the
shooting limits of his gun.
For good outdoor photography,
and this includes filming wildlife,
since it’s going to be found out
doors, the first accessory should
be a good filter. Photographing the
blacks and whites of outdoor scenes
is always improved with the use
of yellow, red or green filter. The
green filter does wonders for land
scapes, brightening green foilage,
which otherwise would be recorded
in blobs of darker shade. The yel
low filter will darken blue skies,
touching up the puffy cloud effects
which are ofttimes so dramatic. .
With less expensive cameras,
one must guess rather accurately
at distances, or come up with
fuzzy, out-of-focus shots. The best
way, of course, is to measure any
questionable distance.
If you don’t care to invest in a
range finder, this can be compen
sated for by use of a 15-foot length
of string, knotted at intervals of
one foot. By placing the camera
on some sort of firm support, one
can walk to the subject being
photographed and count the knots
as they slip through the fingers.
A lens shade will repay its pur
chaser many times over in the re
sultant clear shots unspoiled by
sun glare.
If the weatherman still has you
immobilized, get out the camera
and see what you can turn up as
you roam your favorite game
cover or stream bank. The things
you encounter will fascinate you,
and as you watch nature’s folks in
action, you’ll learn a lot more
about their habits.

Eagles Predators?
In Rocky Mountain states there
has been some concern over the
eagles’ effect on mountain sheep
and goats. A recent bulletin, “Wyo
ming Hawks,” published by the
Wyoming game and fish depart
ment, devoted several pages to the
food habits of the golden eagle.
The conclusions of the authors
were: “Golden eagles do not play
important roles in the preserva
tion of the bighorn and other game
mammals.**

Base of Operations
Lesson for March 5, 1958
T HERE IS NO RULE in the Bible
forbidding Christians to have
common sense. You are not sup
posed to lay aside your mind when
you become a Christian.
This has had many illustrations:
let us take Ephesus for one. Put
yourself, in imagination, back to
the first Christian
century. Ask your
self: Where can
we start a church
where it will do
the most good?
Where can we put
a church that will
spread out, one
that is sure to
have daughter-
churches? Where Dr - Foreman
can we reach people of in
fluence? Where can we locate a
church where it is certain to be
heard of?
As your eye ranged over a map
of the Empire, you would have
lighted on Ephesus as the very
place. It was a true capital, not a
merely political one.
» » •
Strategy
r r was a master-stroke, selecting
Ephesus as a base of operations.
It made possible the rapid spread
of the Christian faith into the prov
ince of Asia. The decision to plant
a church there had been matched
by other strategic decisions in
Christian history since then. One
of these was founding the church
in Rome. Th^t was an even greater
city and capital than Ephesus, and
it has lasted much longer.
If the Christian church had
been content to be provincial,
all right for the smaller towns
but afraid to tackle the big
ones, if the early church had
feared to seat itself la Rome,
the whole / history of Europe
would have been different.
When the Roman Empire crumb
led, as in time it did, the church
rose on its ruins and took its place
as the great civilizer of Europe,
the strong force that kept, a con
tinent from decay for near!
thousand years.

Our Ancestors
F ROM THE DAYS of the early
Roman church there comes a
well-known story which may be
true. In the slave market at Rome
the Pope saw some handsome
small boys, whiter than the aver
age Roman, for sale. Who are you?
he asked. “Angli,” they said—Ang
les, from far-off marshes along
the North Sea. No, smiled the
Pope, who was a bit of a punster,
you are too good looking for that;
“Non Angli sed Angeli,” not Angles
but Angels.
Anyway, the church did send
some missionaries to far-away
Anglia and elsewhere in Northern
Europe. It turned out to be another
strategic base of operations. Even
tually France and Germany and
England and the other countries in
that part of the world were con
verted to Christianity. The time
came when those very nations took
the lead in,moving into the rest of
the world, into the western hemi
sphere, “down under” to Aus
tralia, even into Africa. Where
they went, they carried their relig
ion with them.
Suppose the church had not
thought our ancestors worth
converting? Suppose all the
colonizing movements of the
16th and following centuries
had been waves of sheer pa
gans?
It is not mere racial pride to say
that the sending of missionaries to
those savage peoples of northern
Europe wds one of the most stra
tegic moves ever made by the
Christian church.

And Today?
T HE CHURCH has not always
been smart Sometimes we
have missed the boat. There have
been strategic centers we might
have occupied—and did not.
There was a time, for instance,
when Russia, that mighty nation,
was open to Christian teaching.
Many who knew that country were
saying about 1918 that it was pos
sible to capture that land for
Christ. But the Christian church
was little interested . . . and now
whatever Christianity is there has
to stay underground.
Farther east, our own Gen
eral MacArthur has been call
ing for missionaries to Japavt,
thousands of them. Japan is
wide open to Gospel today as
never before. But where are
the missionaries? Going over
in driblets.
Whenever Christianity has seen
a strategic point and taken it, fu
ture generations have been blessed;
whenever we miss our chance, fu
ture generations will wonder bow
we could have been so blind.
