MIRROR Of Your MIND ^ Keep Home Intact During Wartime By Lawrence Gould If war comes, should children be "evacuated”? Answer; Not if it means sepa ration from their parents, and espe cially their mothers, to judge by what happened in World War II. A London child guidance clinic re ports that a follow up of two hun dred out of twelve hundred children seen during the war years showed that mental illnesses caused by bombing or changed home condi tions have tended to clear up, while those which grew out of being evac uated, although fewer, have become deep and persistent neuroses. Only children who were sent away and felt “rejected” turned Into delin quents. Does every child love his mother? Answer: Every normal child does, but he also sometimes hates her. For in a child, love and hate are automatic responses to the imme diate situation. At least while he’s little, a child loves you when you give him what he wants and hates you when you refuse it. If he ma tures healthily, he’ll strike a bal ance between the two feelings and so love his mother without thinking she is “perfect.” But if he remains emotionally childish, he’ll let him self recognize only one side of his feelings and will love or hate her unreservedly. Do many people enjoy being idle? Answer: No, reports Edrita G. Fried of McGill University in the Journal of Gerontology. Interviews with a “mixed sample” of men and women between fifty and eighty years old showed that sixty-five per cent of them had regular activities, and that among those who did not (mainly from the lower income groups) the desire for work was al most an obsession. Old folks yearned to have their jobs back because they felt that their self-respect depended upon having something to do and that only work could ward off rest lessness and depression. TWE ANCIENT HEBREWS IN CANAAN PRACTICED SOIL CONSER VATION. EVERY 72! YEAR THE FARMERS ALLOWED THE GROUND TO BE IDLE THAT THE SOIL MIGHT NOT BE EXHAUSTED. IN THOSE YEARS, EVERYTHING THAT GREW BY ITSELF WAS LEFT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR, THE STRANGERS, AND BEASTS OF THE FIELD. KEEPING HEALTHY Acetylsalicylk Acid-Valuable Drug By Dr. James W. Barton O NE OF THE VALUABLE and commonly used drugs is acet- ylsalicylic acid (trade name aspi rin) which is, and for many years has been, the specific or special treatment for the pains of rheuma tism. It is used alone or with baking soda in the treatment of various types of pain. Unfortunately there is a certain percentage of people who are al lergic to this drug or in whom It upsets the stomach. Accordingly, drug manufacturers combine acet- ylsalicylic with other drugs because it is still the most effective drug in rheumatic pain. Some months ago I wrote about the use of very large doses of aspirin, over 150 grains a day, which caused no reaction when combined with succinic acid. This Is especially valuable in treatment of rheumatism. Many rheumatic patients find that a few grains of baking soda taken with acetylsalicylic acid pre vents any pain or upsetment in the stomach. In the New England Medical Journal, Boston, Drs. R. H. Talkov, M. W. Ropes and W. Bauer point out that enteric-coated aspirin (covered with a special coating to allow the drug to go through ths stomach into small intestine and so cause no stomach disturbance) has a painkilling effect equal to that of the acetylsalicylic acid and the on set of this peinkHling action is only slightly delayed because of this coating. The use of this specially coated preparation of aspirin is, they write, “especially advantageous in such cases when very great doses are required to control pain.” While about 80 per cent of per- sons can take the usual dosage of aspirin without any stomach dis turbance, the other 20 per cent are unable to do so. . Enclosing the aspirin in a covering that carries it through the stomach without any being absorbed by the stomach makes this excellent painkilling drug available for use even in se vere stomach disturbances. HEALTH NOTES More than a favorable climate is needed to cure hay fever, asthma and sinusitis. The alcoholic may be just as sick mentally as a patient receiving mental treatment in a hospital. Many of the short-cuts to weight removal are not advised by physi cians. Early ambulation may be prac ticed after operations on appendix, stomach, large bowel, bile ducts, kidneys and male and female organs. By eating some protein and the protective foods and rounding out the diet with enough, but no more, carbohydrates, the general health of the individual will be improved. m. JfMJRHODYl Fish Those Ponds! Every year there is a great clamor raised over trout fishing by a relatively small, but highly vocal segment of American anglers. Despite all that and the millions and millions of words written on the mysticism of trout fishing and its myriad concomitants, the fact remains that warm water pond fishes still support most of the fish ing activity in these United States. Unfortunately, most anglers even when going after pond fish con centrate on bass or pickereL Since these are predators—the “wolves” of the aquatic pastures—bass and pickerel constitute only a small pro portion of the finny crop. Most fish present in our public fishing waters S:® •M-: mi m wmm ms liii mi? IPS are ‘Trash” fishes like suckers. carp, eel, etc., and a tremendously large quantity of pan fish, both largely the result of unwise stock ing in past years. The panfishes — the “sheep” of the aquatic pastures—are yellow perch, white perch, pout or bull heads, calico bass or black crappie, bluegills and sunfish. The antics of any of these com mon panfish attached to a fly rod soon dispel the phony glamour that has been smeared on trout by a steady diet of success stories from magazine writers. Properly cooked, panfish are even better than most trout, and this is especially true of the bluegill or bream, and crap pie or "newlights.” Furthermore, these fish produce abundantly at little or no expense—and while trout fishing is becoming more and more restricted and more of a lux ury and is practically limited to the springtime season, fishing for pan fishes is within reach of all. Panfishes are extremely abun dant in most waters. Indeed, they have been so overstocked and un- derfished for years that a program of control to thin down panfish pop ulation is underway in some states. The continuous annual removal of large numbers of panfish by licen sed anglers using hook and line and by fish and game technicians using nets will mean bigger and better panfish and more bass and pickerel because more food will be available for remaining panfishes and pred ation on bass and pickerel spawn will be reduced/ It would be a fine and wise ac tivity for all sportsmen’s clubs to initiate and organize a widespread series of kid and adult fishing der bies for panfishes to be conducted several times annually. Such a move would initiate pond manage ment on an effective scale, since increased harvests of panfishes, preferably by angling, is one of the most pressing fish • management needs. It should be remembered that unless panfishes are harvested in greater numbers than ever before, pond fishing will continue to de teriorate. Springtime fish kills, often resulting from diseases and parasites running rampant among overstocked fish, will very soon be come a widespread public nuisance. AAA Adjustable Weight This Pflenger Medalist fly reel is the answer to a long- felt need of fly rod anglers who are partial to the single action reel. Designed to balance even the lightest-type rods, this reel, made of Nickalum, one of the strongest of light metals, has a distinctive "balancing” fea ture that enables the user to get all the weight needed to balance his rod. The spool re lease cover, on which the name appears, is removed disclosing an opening through which SB’s may be Inserted Inside the spac ing ring until the desired weight is obtained. This exclus ive feature, coupled with an ad justable drag, which operates only while the line Is going out, makes the Medalist practically a “must” in the fly rod angler’s equipment. AAA Taking Crappie The crappie is a favorite fish be cause of his abundance, readiness to bite, and savory flesh. He mul tiplies rapidly and makes a good pond fish. They are willing takers of artificial flies, even more so than a lot of other panfish. The surface fairly boils when they are rising in the evening for mature insects, and at such times a carefully- placed dry fly will add weight to the creel Cast fly over spot crappie# hide.
