Answer: No. The “1951” on the calendar does not make you a dif ferent person from what you were yesterday, or alter the fact that you will be the same person tomor row. Nor does the New Year wipe out the fact that it was you who last year did the things you now wish you had not done. If you want to build a future better than the past—and you can do it!—the ma terials you will have to work with are the same as ever. But you can find wiser, more effective ways to use them. And if you do, you will have a Happy New Year. W1M loving a person make you dream about him? Not in itself. No matter how dearly you love someone from whom you are separated, the song writers are mistaken in assuming that you can console yourself by being “with him in your dreams.” You’ll dream of a loved one only if he symbolizes for you some uncon- Do the stars really “twinkle”! Answer: No, their light is con stant and invariable. But the long- accepted theory that atmospheric changes are what make them scin tillate has been challenged by two British ophthalmologists, Drs. Hart- ridge and Weale. They say their ex periments have shown that when we watch a light of medium bright ness, unless we are concentrating on some detailed pattern, our eyes do not remain stationary, so that the image of the light falls now on one part of the retina and now on another. This causes “apparent fluctuation in both brightness and color.” rF" THE ENTIRE UFE OF JESUS WERE AS FULLV WRITTEN OUT AS THE PERIOD OF THE PASSION, EMBRACING ONLY THE WEEK, FROM THE ANOINTING 0Y MARY TO THE DEATH OF JESUS, IT WOULD FILL NEARLY $Q VOLUMES AS LARGE AS THE BIBLE. r KEEPING HEALTHY ( Hypochondriasis Is Overanxiety By Dr. James W. Barton W HILE STILL in my teens, I visited the uncle of a young friend. The uncle looked well, and the doctor said he was well, and yet he seemed to have so many things wrong with him. He had headaches, pains in the stomach and abdomen, was unable to sleep, had excessive perspiration and war unable to work. I chatted with him for a few minutes and after ex plaining his symptoms at length, he told me he was a hypochondriac, full of ailments and yet with noth ing really the matter with him. “I know I’ve got something wrong with me because I have a family to support and my relatives are supporting them. If I could be free of my ailments. I’d go to work.” he said. la former times when a physician coMtd find nothing wrong (organical ly# in a patient, the patient was taftd so frankly and told to get out agfl go to - work, as work would gnro him an appetite, cause him to sleep weS, and establish a regu lar bowel habit. Sometimes this advioe helped but more often it did In American Practice, Dr. John M. Lyon, Denver, Colorado, states that the treatment of the average patient with hypochondriasis is a difficult task. The first step in the treatment is an attempt to find or understand the causes of the symptoms. Hypochondriasis seems to be a psychological reaction that occurs when a person is unable to meet the competitiveness of every day life, is loaded with more re sponsibilities than he can carry, or is faced with failure in a situation where he feels he should succeed. It is impossible for most people to admit that they can’t take it, so an excuse must be found. Failure to achieve success and happiness can be excused if a per son is sick and this is the emotional trap in which the hypochrondriac is caught or allows himself to be caught. He believes he is sick and knows that he cannot be accused of malingering (pretending to be sick). Those who fall into this trap are individuals who have a life-long habit of meeting stress situations with body reactions such as a time ly accident or illness. are more elderly men and ia the world today than any iagte age class. « • • Geriairica is the treatment of the diseases ef old age. » • • Old age is afflicted with all the a£k»ente of other age groups but lades the energy to withstand these Vitamins act as joiners of food cells to make each cell do its ut most work. • * • A person with damaged heart may live long and happily.

READING: Psalm US. The Good Must Fight s clous inner conflict such as your yearning for someone or something that you feel you “have no right to.’’ Only the surface material of dreams comes from current experi ences or emotions—^basically, they are ways of gratifying secret wishes. Dr. Foreman Y OU WOULD think that if ever there arrived on this planet a really good person, he would be popular with everybody. People are tired of meanness, they are sick of being lied to and cheated. They are tired of the sins of others, even tired of their own. So if a really good person should appear, one in whom was no shadow, complete ly transparent to the Eternal Light, wouldn't everyone flock to him, wouldn’t he have the human race in the palm of his hand, as it were, in a short time? • • • Agelong War T HE ANSWER is No. It is not well to be too optimistic about human nature. As a matter of fact, some of the best persons history has known met some of the bitterest opposition. Indeed, when One came who was completely good, whose life was all light and no shadow, he was no better treated and no more warmly welcomed than less good persons have been. Jesus Christ had his enemies, strong and well-organised. The number of those who believed in him was comparatively small; the number who did not believe or ignored him al together, was enormous. The history of mankind is the history of a war, the age long war between good and evil, between God and his enemies. The story of Jesus is one chapter in this his tory, the most important by far, but by no means the first one or the last. • • • Why Was Jesus Hated? T HE READER should examine the record in the Gospels and try to think for himself who opposed Jesus, and why they did so. One striking fact is that Jesus’ enemies were not what we call the “lower classes,” much less the “criminal classes.” His enemies were rather from out of the top drawer, as we might say. They were the financial, social and religious leaders of his time. They finally got him executed as a criminal. If there had never been air/ one to contradict the records of the Sanhedrin, that high court of Jerusalem, and those records had become recognised as the truth, Jesus would have gone down in history. If re membered at all, as a trouble maker, a lawless and worthless man, whoso execution was a protection to society. Why were these leading men, Jesus’ “distinguished” contempo* raries, so wrong about Jesus? • • • “As he is, so are we...” T HE READER should think this out for himself. One reason can be mentioned here: It is very easy for wrong to be so long accepted and so strongly entrenched that it is universally taken for right. Then when the right comes along, especially when in the form of an idea suggested by some one not of the upper crust, it actually seems to be wrong. People kept long in a dark room find light painful! Any one who tries to follow Jesus will And himself up against the same sort of op position. Any one who proposes to live as Jesus lived, or to change our ac customed patterns of society in the direction which Jesus pointed out, will be called (as he was) a crack pot, a dreamer, an impractical fel low who does not know enough to go in when it rains. • • • Our Divine Alliance C ONSIDER one example of this. A Christian who makes up his mind to dedicate his body a “living sacrifice” to God, and therefore not to handicap himself with the drug of alcohol, is certain, in many places, to be considered a sort of crank. It is not that people will laugh at him, though they will: people will be angry with him few his stand. They will do all they can to make him break his pledge. Instead of admiring a dean and free life, many people are not content unless they can sell that cleanness and break down that freedom. So to stand for Christ in any aspect of life is not easy. But we need to remember we fight no lonely fight; our cause is not forlorn. Just as Jesus in Galilee was al ways on the side of those who were beaten and battered by sin and evil, but still fighting, so now the ever-living Christ is always on the side of those who in their hearts desire good and not evil, cleanness and not dirt, truth and not lies. 40 Pretcstaat ienomlaaUaaa. ~ ~ by WNU PcatarM.)

However, the true angler is never static, no mat ter how deep the snow or how bit ter the climate, for his dreams, de sires and imagination are always working overtime during the winter, readying plans and forays astream for the first permissible weather. In that connection, then, this piece about night fishing may not be completely amiss. The veteran angler knows that whep,, darkness fall;, trout which have lain dormant through the day come out on the shallows and into the still waters to feed on minnows and other trout food which usually is abroad in the evenings. Big trout especially lose their caution and boldly cruise in waters they would shun in the daylight hours. They seem to have no fear of the angler working his “night” flies or other lures from areas which he has scouted and marked during the daytime. Some states permit night fishing until 8:30 o'clock; others until 9:30 or 10, and still others have no limit at all for the nocturnal Walton— and the angler who knows the way of a streamer fly often fills his creel with the kind of fish that put qne in the “expert” class. It seems to be a widely-accepted conclusion that the “darker the night, the better the fishing,” al though the writer has experienced sessions astream during bright nights which dispell this theory. It is true that on dark nights the trout seem to engage in more widespread feeding activities, feeding all over the stream or river, now and then breaking the surface with great splashes. But that is not to say that they cannot also be taken on nights when there is a moon or considerable light 4rom the stars. For the most successful night fishing, the angler should scout his fishing grounds in full daylight and mark well the places where he ex pects to stand and make his casts at night He should even rehearse the procedure—in order to fix in his mind trees and snags which might ensnare his back casts; he should make careful note of land marks that show up in the dark so he will not wade into water over his depth, nor run afoul of strong currents which might take him off his feet and sweep him downstream in the darkness. If he is casting with a lure on a bait-casting rod, he should look well to his reel and see that it is oiled and properly adjust ed, in order that he may not have to struggle with a backlash in to tal darkness or under the feeble rays ef a flashlight. Best flies for night fishing are the streamers—and any of them will do, although there are scores of oldtimers who will argue vehemently that the best fly for darktime fishing is the darkest fly you can find! AAA Types Of Packs There are almost as many styles of packs as there are types of tents. No pack should worn so low that it will bore into the small of the back. Where the articles In the pack are in contact with the should ers er back, as is the case when using a pack sack, be certain there is nothing in the pack that will press against these points and cause chafing or irritation. A good way to avoid this is to fold your blanket and put it in the pack flat against the side that will be against your body. This will act as a cushion. If the pack Is equipped with leather shoulder straps, they should be kept soft, and rubbing them thor oughly with neetsfoot oil will ac complish this. Slipping the shoul der straps through a slotted, rec tangular piece of sheepskin which acts as a pad against the shoulders will sometimes make them more comfortable. The packboard or pack frame is made of either wood slats or a canvas-covered, light weight steel frame so constructed as to hold the weight away and out from the body, making it khal in hot weather. Pack boards arc fitted with shoul der straps, and have hooks or holes to accommodate the ropes used to lash lead to frame. A head band may be added if desired. They are preferred by campers who must pack outfits that are too heavy, bulky er irregular to fit in a pack sack. AAA Hair Flies Almost /very fly fisherman knows what a hair fly is, and knows, too, that it is among the most depend able and effective of all the wet flies.
