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.

Problem of Overweight Children
By Dr. James W. 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.

Lesson for December 31, 1950
SCRIPTURE: John 15:1-10; Galatlana
2:20, Philippiana 3:8-16.
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.

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.
Ruth Roman stormed Alfred
Hitchcock’s office five years ago,

Mike Clanaban

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

“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. A diamond on
the third Anger twinkled merrily
at him.
