MIRROR Of Your MIND ^ ^ ^ An Open Mind , - Is Necessary By Lawrence Gould ■ - v ./ V + . . 'S Does travel M broaden the mind”? Answer: That depends on two (hing£: the extent to which your aaind is “open,” and whether you travel of your oWn choice or be- cause you have to. If you’re willing to admit that your ideas and ways of doing things are not the only “right” ones, visiting foreign coun tries may be a liberal education, but if the very word “foreign” means inferior or barbarous to -you, you might as well stay at home. And of course, if you are torn away from home against your will, you’ll tend to see only the worst side of the couhtry you Are sent to. I ="oI still an art in which no system of fixed rules can be consistently fol lowed, and in which the therapist's personality is as important as his training. It is this, “intangible quality” that makes psychotherapy hard for “{Hire scientists” to ac cept. Is psychotherapy a science? Answer: Not yet, anyhow, writes Dr. L Atkin in the American Jour nal of Psychotherapy. While based upon scientific research, the prac tice of helping people overcome emotional disturbances through an exclusive mental approach (i.e., by listening and talking to them) is Can high-pitched sounds harm your ears? Answer: Apparently not, say a group of ear specialists in the An nals of Otology, St. Louis. The idea that sounds too high-pitched to be heard—for instance, those of the ip- audible whistle sometimes used for calling dogs, whose ears are more acute than those of humans—may be - dangerous t6 human hearing seems unfounded. As long as super sonic vibrations are airborne, with no physical contact, they have no specific ,effect on the sense-organs or the nervous system. It is sounds that are too loud, whatever their pitch, that do damage. -me vmorp "corn" was uscd as a general name for graih op ALL KINPS KNOWN TO THE JEWS OP THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT DAYS.

KEEPING HEALTHY ( How to Care for Chronic Illness By Dr. James W. Barton N ursing homes, those which' are carefully inspected by com munity health departments, fill a need in the lives of our elderly men ana women and certainly re lieve our general hospitals from some of the overcrowding that ex ists. -■' The fact that a graduate nurse resides in or is in charge of these nursing homes, and a physician visits them regularly, likewise takes some of the strain off gen eral * hospitals and insures reason able care for the elderly and those chronically ill That nursing homes are of great help to the chronically ill, those that are never well yet have none of the specific diseases that require skilled and constant attention, is now admitted and home care under the supervision of a nearby general hospital physician gives a service .that is equal or nearly equal to actual care in hospital. What Is chronic illness? An editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association defines it as any deviation or de- — parture from health that affects a person’s total life pattern in a sig nificant way, because of the length of the illness and its effects,' which may last for a long time after the illness proper has passed. We can readily see that prolonged illness not only requires the medi cal knowledge and skill of the. prac ticing physician but also his help in the patient’s reestablishment of himself in everday life. For a long time practitioners have met difficulties in finding prop er hospital facilities for their chron ically ill patients and have ob served the lack of adequate visit ing nurses, housekeeping and other services by which patients might be cared for, and the inadequacy of many nursing homes. This need is being met to some extent by the Commission of Chron ic Illness, founded in 1948 by the American Medical Association, American Hospital Association, American Public Health Associa tion, and the American Public Wel fare Association.

They know it is true, for every winter it falls lor them in the form of the lowly acorn. Come wintertime they will set them down to a feast of acorns—the forest, “manna” from above which falls from the woodland trees when autumn winds blow. With the first patter of falling acorns, the little folk of the forest go forth en masse to gather up the bounty. Birds and animals, im portant to the well-being of man kind, depend on this manna of the forest for their chief winter food. Nobody knows how many forest ears listen for the sound of the acorns’ fall, nor how many gimlet eyes search among the leaves, but biolo gists have found more than 188 species of wildlife that feed upon acorns. Wild turkeys depend on acorns for their chief food frop November through April. Qua% sometimes feed on them aU around the calendar. Squirrels, the best conservationists of all, plant thousands of acorns each faU, and return to gather only for a few for themselves and their families, leaving the others snugly bedded in the ground to sprout into a new forest of oak trees^ It is said that Indian tribes of early America made bread from acorn meal, and stories were told of their use in the South during the near-famine period of the Civil war. The yellow kernels were ground into a fine flour. Hot water was poured over this to remove the bitterness, and then a dough was shade fof hoecake batter. Probably the most prosaically practical use of acorns has been to fatten hogs. Even modern experi ments have proved the value of acorns for fattening hogs, when sup plemented by other foods. But the little folk of the forest, don’t ask questions nor consider the oak. They know that come win tertime they will be fed. The ‘‘forest manna” that* has fallen since long before the day of Moses, for all we know, will still fall for them when autumn winds blow. ' * AAA • A - No Cause For Fear The true sportsman has no fear of a farmer for it takes only a few minutes to get his permission to hunt and very little trouble to be careful of his property. The real trouble is the cheap type hunter who thinks he can do as he pleases. Many city people have acquired the false idea that farmers are hay- chewing hicks as pictured in car toons. They do not realize that running a farm requires intelli gence and education. Another de lusion harbored by many hunters is that absence of No Trepassing signs gives them the right to enter upon any private land at will. Ac tually, the only unposted land upon which this can be_ done legally is publicly owned land. How soon will really interested sportsmen realize that they must personally go to the farmer on their own time and at their own expense and help him with his game management. They will have to do more than Just buy a license and go to the country for a day of cheap shoot ing. They will have to realize that hunting at the farmer’s expense is a thing of the past, or soon will be. Game is as much a crop as hay or* corn. Any crop requires time, money and care. Game is no ex ception. No one has a right to take something he did not help produce and give nothing in return. He will have to become a builder of game as well as a taker. At present thfefe are too many ignorant and careless hunters at large for the available quantity of game.

AAA Good Days If you live near a pond and can find it clear of ice and fairly clean of mud, you may surprise yourself with what you can do with a fly-rod and some trout flies—provided of course that the pond contains pan fish. Too many fishermen fail to 30 out after pannies in what is usually called the “off season.” We have found that on occasion the fish hit with real abandon and one may even fill a creel in a short time.
