THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. MIRROR Forget Faces? Of Your You Don't Look MIND By Lawrence Gould Does “forgetting faces” mean you are self-centered? Answer: It means first of all that /ou don't really look at people. For what you see clearly you cannot help but remember. You rnay be afraid to look for various uncon scious reasons like a childish feel ing that if you do, other people will "see through you." But you are most likely not to look at someone you meet because you are so much wrapped up in your own desires and problems that no one else greatly interests you. People resent being forgotten because they sense that it means you did not bother noticing them. Should a girl who hates men marry? Answer: As a rule, no, even though she finds one man who, she believes, is "different from all the others." For either he will be no real man, in which case the woman in her wil eventually suffer from frustration, or—more probably — she win find that the supposed difference was imaginary and transfer her sex hostility to a partner whose only real fault is maleness. She’ll interpret his ef forts to share normal satisfactions with her as proof of the desire to exploit her for his pleasure which she was taught to look for. Is creative art good for mental patients? Answer: Yes, writes Mary Hun toon in the Bulletin of the Men- ninger Clinic, reporting on the ex perience of more than 1000 pa tients at the Winter V. A. Hospital who were sent to the art shop by their physicians. The most bene fit was felt by those whose doctors visited the studio and helped them “integrate" their efforts. In crea tive art, the patients see their re pressed wishes come true, gain a sense of competence that makes reality seem easier to face, release inner tensions, and learn to see their problems objectively.

Barton Problem «f Overweight Children .. W E ARE ALL used to seeing over weight .men and women, es pecially if they are at or approach ing middle age, but an overweight youngster is in a more serious con dition, as in 19 out of 20 cases the conditiea is not due just to over eating bid to some disturbance of the gland system. Fortunately, the coming of pub erty (12 te 14 in girls and 14 to 16 in boys) corrects the condition. Un fortunately, on the other hand, where puberty does not correct the condition, gland extracts, while somewhat effective, are not as ef fective as they would have been just before puberty. And the serious part of it is that it is not simply that the child is fat but the shape of the body, the prepa ration for parenthood and the mental and emotional condition, all are in fluenced by the disturbance in these glands. Dr. Hugo R. Rony, Chicago, in bis boek "Obesity and Leanness" reminds parents that it is during childhood that these glandular dis turbances should be detected. This can be done by a thorough examina tion by the family physician. Dr. Rony studied 50 cases of ex treme overweight in children with out particular selection; just took them as they came. He found in these cases that there were disturb ances in the various glands, together with mental deficiencies. Only six of the 50 cases showed no abnormal conditions; at least, none that he could detect The glands at fault (underactive) were the thyroid, the pituitary, and the sex glands. Thyroid extract given by mouth, anterior pituitary extract injected under the skin, and sex extract given by mouth, injec tion or by insertion of pills or tab lets under the skin, assist nature by stimulating these glands, that is, making them more active. Overweight men and women whose overweight is all or partly due to underactivity of certain glands are, nevertheless, advised to cut down on their total food intake.

DEVOTIONAL READING: John 15? 1-12. H OW does a Christian grow? Dur ing the past three months this has been our underlying question. Now at the year’s end we come back to the point where we began: to Jesus Christ. When all is said and done, the best way to describe a Christian's life is not "religious" or "spiritual" or even "godly," much less "pious." The best way to describe it is to put the fullest possible mean ing into the single word “CHRIS TIAN." • • • “I Have Been Captured” I N your hymnal you may find a hymn by the author of the bet ter-known "O Love that wilt not let me go." It begins with these lines: "Make me a captive, Lord, And thed I shall be free . . .** That sounds upside-down. Captive and free are opposites, aren’t they? Not when God is the captor! The American translation of PhiL 3:12 says, "I have been captured by Jesus Christ." Paul’s word was a strong one; it was the Greek word used when police or soldiers take a man and tie him and lead him off. People who have gone far in music would understand this. Take two young people, both of whom know something about music, may be both of them In the same music school. One of them has been cap tured, so to speak, by music, the other has not. That is to say, in plainer language, music has “got hold" of one of them. There Is an irresistible fascination about music for him, every day is too short for the study and practice he wants to do. The other one goes through his lessons, but his heart is not in it. We need no prophet to tell us which of the two will make a good musician. So It Is with the Christian faith. One who has never been captured by Christ may play around with the Chris tian faith, as the uncaptured music student may play around the music school; but his heart will not be in 1L Name any saint you like in the whole history of Christendom, whether famous like St. Francis or Ballington Booth, or known only to a few, like one of your own family perhaps; you always find that this person, whose Christianity was a living and powerful thing, called Christ Master, and meant it. • • • “Christ Lives in Me” T HERE is a more intimate way of putting this. It is true, the Christian has been "captured" by Christ. But this would still leave him on the outside. Christ lives in the Christian, as Paul said. For some people this may seem strange and mystical, but it can be under stood by any one who wants to know what Christian living can mean. Christ in the Christian means that in every situation, in every condition, at every turn of the road, in the everyday choices and conversations, the Christian will be as much like Christ as he possibly can. This is one point on which Christians of every name and church agree. Catho lic or Protestant, conservative or liberal, our differences evapo rate when our hearts are warm, when we try to think what the Ideal Christian life is. High-level Christians from a over Christendom would all come out with the same story that Paul put into classic words: I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. • • • “Abide” ## it BIDE in me and I in you,’* ** said Jesus. That is a com mand and a promise. But the com mand comes first. Whether we think of the Christian as "in" Christ or Christ as “in” the Christian, it should be a long story, not a short one. Is the sunshine in the flower or the flower in the sunshine? Well, both. Put the flower in the sunshine and keep it there, and the sunshine will get into the flower. The sun makes the flower, not the flower the sun. Yet unless the flower stays in the sunshine, the sun. can do nothing for it. Christ never yet battered his way into any one’s life. To know him as an occasional visitor Is doubtless better than never knowing him at all. But friend ship is far better than acquaint ance, and to know him best one most know him always. But the welcoming heart has him always for a guest. What 1951 will bring, no man can tell; but no friend of Christ will be afraid.

Social and Economic Problems A Part of UCPA's Big Battle This Is the eeeend of two article* •n the United Cerebral Palsy Asso ciations, Inc., and the work te which the organisation la dedicated. Last week’s article gave a short history of UCPA, the year-old or ganization that is doing everything in its power to help palsy stricken children. This article deals more with social and economic back ground of the problem. The cause of cerebral palsy is unique in that it is a crippler which strikes with mathematical ruthless ness, here, then there, at the very inception of life. Sometimes its cruel hand has done its damage before birth. Ten thousand times each year the same scene occurs, tragic because when the mother and father dis cover their baby is palsied there is so little in the way of help. Some times they know it immediately, but in other cases it may be months before they learn their child has suf fered a brain injury that affects speech or use of arms, legs or head. Since it is not a disease, we do not need to worry about a germ, microbe or virus. But the cold sta tistics of cerebral palsy strike fear into the hearts of parents awaiting the birth of a child. They know that fate is methodically counting off the babies, and that each year seven out of each 100,000 of total population will be cerebral palsied. It could be theirs—or yours—regardless of all precautions exercised or all the care that parents or the best physic ians can provide. The disability of cerebral palsy also is found at the opposite end of the life span. Whatever the cause, the adults who suffer a cerebral hemorrhage (stroke) require care and treatment copunon to young suffers of cerebral palsy. Estimates vary as to the number of adults who are affected, but it is untold hun dreds of thousands. • e e I 'IP By INEZ GERH'RE G eraldine brooks’ stage ca reer began when she wag in her ’teens, and was pretty impres sive—she toured in Shakespearian productions for the Theatre Guild— before Hollywood grabbed her and glamorized her. You saw her in "Possessed" and “The Reckless Moment", among other pictures. But her big thrill came when she GERALDINE BROOKS was taken to Italy to make "Vol cano", with the faipous Anna Mag- nani, which will be released by Eagle Lion. They worked on a bar ren island, next to the one where "Stromboli" was being made. There was no water but the sea, only the peasants’ food, but Geraldine says that she loved every minute of it "Theatre Guild on the Air" will continue, this new year, to present outstanding theatrical successes as magnificently as in the past. The best casts, the best productions, are insisted on. For instance, in "Carou sel" Cornel Wilde and Patrice Mun- sel, of the Metropolitan, co-starred, and John Baker, also of the Met, had the male vocal lead. Allene Roberts does a fine job as the blind girl in "Union Station” playing a heavy emotional role. Her career began when, at a tender age, she was named America’s "Most Charming Child" in a big newspaper competition. UNTIL COMPARATIVELY recent years, the human race all over the world considered itself helpless to fight this great unknown malady. If t child were so affected, the thing to do was to hide it in the back rooms. The heartache and the heartbreak of parents has some times been hidden, but cerebral palsy has left a trail of needless social devastation: broken home, parents often accusing each other, the live of other children and rela tives seriously affected, as fate continued droning^off the numbers. Vicious as has been the effect on the relatives, it doesn’t compare with the injustice to the sufferers. Our nation, priding itself on living in an enlightened age, continues to treat many of these injured as half wits, idiots or feebleminded, when tests show that 77 out of 100 have average or superior intelligence. That makes as much sense as giv ing such consideration to a person who was hit by an automobile. An idea of the huge economic waste may be obtained by simple multiplication. The most conserva tive estimate of children born with cerebral palsy in the United States is 200,000. Merely to give them cus todial care costs an average of $500 a year. They have a normal life expectancy. Taking an average of 60 years, each child costs $30,000 for a lifetime merely vegetating his years away. For the 200,000 chil dren, the cost reaches the staggering total of $6,000,000,000. The actual bill is much more, be cause there are 10,000 new babies born with cerebral palsy each year, and several million adults who are palsied in later years of their lives. But this is only part of the cost. The rest is in heartbreak and broken homes. These are the problems of the United Cerebral Palsy Associa tions, Inc.

Minute Fietien don’t care if you have to buy 1 a sawmill to get that lumber, just see that it gets there today!" Mike Clanaban slammed the phone back on its cradle, mum bling to himself about young pups who quit trying as soon as they’d heard ‘No’ mentioned a time or two. ' The slender, black-haired girl, sitting on the corner of his desk, grinned at him. “Pops, if everyone bulled their way through like you do, there’d be quite * crop of cracked heads." As he looked up at his daughter, Mike’s face softened into a smile. "Something on your mind, Cathy?" "Yes, but I think this job is a little too delicate for your methods." She stared out the window for a moment before continuing. "James refuses to marry me," she said. "Now, he’s decided that it’s better if we don’t even see each other any more." "Refuses to marry rou!” The win dows rattled as Mike came up out of his chair. "Why I’ll—" Cathy’s frown put Mike back into chair. "That’s what I mean about your methods. I’d like to have enough of him left to carry me over the threshold." "Why won’t he marry you?” “Rich girl, poor boy. He says he won’t have it appear that he married me for my money.” Mike stared thoughtfully at her. "You really love him, don’t you?" Cathy nodded her head. "All you need," Mike said aa he leaned back and stared at the ceiling, "Is just a diamond- studded, fourteen-carat mira cle.” “That’s a thought to cheer a girl’s heart," Cathy gave her father a wry glance. "That is, if you have It Takes a Youngster to Tell Rose About Show Business By BILLY ROSE One of the actors I recently interviewed for my television show was a young fellow named Bill Ferguson. “Haven’t I seen you in something?” I asked. "If you didn’t blink," said the youngster, "you might have noticed me in the chorus of ‘South Pacific.* ’* "Still with the show?** "No, I left it a few months ago to try my luck at television.** "Show business is a tough racket,** I oracled. *T haven’t found it so,” said Bill. "Matter of fact, ever since I got to town it’s been one good break after another. Incidentally, your friend, Dick Rodgers, was responsible for the first one." "What did Rich ard do for you?" I asked. “Well,’’ said the y o u n g s t er, "it started when Mr. Rodgers and Mr. Hammerstein were holding auditions Billy for the chorus and bit parts in ‘South Pacific.’ My wife—her stage name is Evelyn Colby—also does some singing and dancing, so we tried out for the show together. Only one of ns, however, got picked—Evelyn." • • e "DOESN’T SOUND like too good A beginning-" "It wasn’t," said Bin, "but we figured there wasn’t any point moping about it—the important thing was not to be separated. So when the show went up to New Haven to break in, I went along with it and, as luck would have it, I landed a job as waiter in Casey's Chop House —the place on College Street across from the Shubert Theatre. "1/ was ibt bast thing that could have happened" the young ster went on, "because a couple of days before the opening who should come in and plunk btm- self down at one of my tables but Mr. Rodgers. "He recognized me, and when he quizzed me about what I was doing in a waiter’s get-up, I told him I had taken the job so as to be near my wife. The story seemed to tickle him, and when be went back to the theatre I understand he held up a rehearsal to repeat it to Oscar Ham merstein and Josh Logan, the direc tor. An hour later the three of them came into the chop house looking for me, and the next morning I was on the stage of the Shubert learning the lyrics of There Is Nothing Like A Dame.’ ’* see “CUTE STORY,” I said. ‘There’s more to it," said Bill. "A columnist heard about'what hap pened and wrote it up, and as a re sult I got a couple oi television nib bles. Then the nicest thing of all happened. One night Margaret Tru man came backstage, and after con gratulating Pinza and Mary Martin she asked for the Bill Ferguson she had read about. You see, we went to the same high school in Independ ence, Missouri, and broke into the singing business together in the choir of the Baptist Church.”. "Did your wife get to meet the Presidents daughter?" "Not that evening," said the youngster, "but she did a few days later when Miss Truman came around to our apartment to see the new baby" "It’s been nice talking to you,” I said, “but I’m afraid I can’t use you on next week's show—I'm look ing for someone to play a sad, mis erable little man/* "Fops, please don’t try any thing,” Cathy said. "Your tac tics are about as subtle as those ef an old billy goat ” an extra miracle you won’t be need ing for a few days.” M IKE CLOSED HIS eyes and studied a moment "I could arrange for a high-salaried job to fall his way.” "Pops, please don’t try anything like that. If he found that we had a hand in it he would probably leave town. Your tactics are about as subtle as those of an old billy goat” "All right so I’m not in the habit of pussy-footing around,” growled Mike. "What are you going to do?” "Same as I have been doing. Argue some more and try to wear him down.” ‘That settles that" Mike stood up and absently walked over to get his hat and coat. "You want me to drop you off at home? I’ve got to run over to the hospital.’ •The hospital?" “Yes, old Zeke, th»- fellow who owns the newsstand down on the corner, thinks he’s going to die, and I thought some company might cheer him up.” Cathy frowned. "He must be the one who has been giving me some competition. James spends too or three nights a week, playing chess and arguing politics with some old fellow named Zeke." Mike stopped and stared at Cathy. "Come on," he said hur riedly, "if I don’t get a move on, visiting hours will be over before I get there." The windows were still rattling from Mike’s conversation when he slammed the phone back into its cradle and glanced up at the young woman who was struggling to keep the exasperated expression on her face. "Mike Clanahan, 1 thought you were asked to keep your strong- arm tactics out of my love affair." Mike grinned up at her. "Wh&t do you moan?” "You know very well what 1 mean/’ Cathy's stern expression broke Into a happy laugh. She came around the desk and kissed him on the forehead. "But I still don’t know—” "Don’t play innocent with me. Having Zeke leave everything to James was a stroke of genius. But what I want to know is how you managed to get forty-seven thousand dollars in old bills hidden in Zeke’s room.** "Did it work?* Cathy held her left hand up in front of Mike’s face.
