T •' ” j" *' * •V THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. MIRROR Of Your MIND Neurotic May Be e ■ Overcontrolled By Lawrence Gould m >- 4 Can ^^self-control” become a neurosis? p;.- ; Answer: Yes. Feeling compelled to live on a fixed schedule, always doing the same things in the same way at the same time, may mean that you are becoming what psy chiatrists call an “obsessive-com pulsive” personality and may end by letting your rituals rule you instead of just saving time' and effort. The unconscious basis of this trend is an exaggerated feel ing that you must control your natural impulses, which may rob you of the power to feel or act spontaneously. If you never can “let yourself go,” you are not living. ■ Is love what children need most? Answer: Yes, but the word has so many meanings that the state ment may be misleading. What a newborn baby needs above all is to feel that he is welcome—that you “like to have him around.” And as he grows older, this should in- May research be overrated? Answer: Yes, writes Dr. Georg* H. Stevenson in the Psychiatric Quarterly. The psychiatrist should take some time each day from his clinical work for “armchair rev eries.” Creative ideas are more likely to come from reflective thinking than from laboratory ex periments, though of course they must be tested in the laboratory later. One might suggest that this is not true only of psychiatry. You can become so much absorbed in the “practical” side of your busi ness— or home—that you overlook its larger possibilities.

For this reason it is ary for the examiner to try reassure him about heart and pressure and that perhaps if lies down and reads a paper for lew minutes, he will be in a more al condition for examination, an article, “Emotions and Pressure,” in the Journal of American Medical Association, Robert Sterling Palmer, hyper clinic, Massachusetts gen- hospital, Boston, states that tions of 8 to 10 MM. of mer- and often of 18 to 20 nave been noted in the normal rest- ystolic blood pressure. The fact there can be this much veria- in the blood pressure in the individual under the same quietly with no of food taking place— that the mind or the emo tions must be causing the rise in blood pressure. “Anger, fear, and deception cause rises in the normal blood presure and these rises or curves, consid ered characteristic of deception, have been presented and suggested for detection of crime,” says Dr. Palmer. A 12 mm. rise can occur from just general excitement. In this clinic, bringing on mental stress in the patient or individual has caused rises of 10 to 15 mm. in young male subjects with vaso motor or emotional instability, in some patients with stomach dis orders and in patients with nervous fatigue or overactive thyroid gland. Another important point discov ered was that in the first visit of the patient to the physician, the blood pressure was higher by many points than the later visits. There are cases of individuals who have carried high blood pres sure for a number of years whose pressure .came down to normal aft er a visit to a psychiatrist and re mained normal for three years aft erward. , HEALTH NOTES The general opinion regarding the nOvraine patient is that he ex- hanetr himself and exhaustion is the cause of the attack.

The Air-Tron is a compact unit which generates short wave ultra violet rays destroying unpleasant odors electronically. It is produced by Roy C. Stove and Company of Chicago. A single-lamp unit provides air freshening protection for an area up to 600 cubic feet—the size of the average milk house. For areas up to 1,200 cubic feet, the double lamp has been developed. Herd Numbers Decrease, But Milk Supply Grows In the past two decades, milk production on United States farms has increased by 20 billion pounds, or one-fifth while the number of milking herds has declined. In some at the individual dairy states, changes have been even more spec tacular. In New York, for instance, one-half more milk is marketed by 15 per cent fewer farmers than in 1929. Milk is produced on about 4% million of the six million farms in the United States. On about two mil lion at these, the milk is produced solely for home use. Most of these farms have only one or two cows, but their milk provides an important part of the food of some nine mil lion farm people. \ On the other 2% million farms that have milk cows, some milk, creaxh, or farm-churned butter is sold. These Bales range from a few pounds of farm-chUrned butter per year up to thousands of pounds of milk per day.

Strawberries Need Good Protection From Cold Strawberries need protection against cold by means of mulching with straw, leaves or sawdust, fruit specialists warned farmers. Wheat straw, oat straw and rye straw have all been successfully used as strawberry mulches. Fairly heavy coverings are suggested in order to avoid heaving from frost and consequent root damage.

The typical Oriental ''saint'' may be a man who never turned < his hand to a piece of work in all his life. The typical western “saint” is likely to be a very busy and active sort of person. It is all the more interesting that Jesus combined^ both the western and the eastern ideas of religion. He was a man of prayer and medi tation, yet a man of strenuous life too. <* •• • . ^ v - v - Life of Action T HE Gospel by Mark, reliable tradition claims, actually comes from Simon Peter. During Peter's missionary travels he used to speak often about the life and work of Jesus, and young John Mark would take down notes of what he said. Then later Mark worked up into a connected "gospel” many of those story-sermons. It is easy to believe the tradition, because this gospel sounds so much .like what would appeal to Peter, a man of action.
