/ '• v- ■»- MIRROR Of Your MIND Early Solution ■ ■ ' ' Is Easiest By Lawrence Gould Should child problems be treated early? Answer: Yes, says Elizabeth Re- v plogle in Understanding the Child. The head of a large child guidance center is reported as stating that ‘Tor a pre-school child, it takes less than six months to correct a prob lem, and sometimes even one treat ment is enough. But it takes nine months for the work to be done in a six- to eight-year-old child, a year to a year and a half to help the child between eight and adole scence, and two to four or more years to help the adolescent with his problem—if then". Yet the dif ficulty could probably have been avoided if the parents had had enough patience, understanding and love. Will hypnosis give you self- confidence? r: Not really. The seeming confidence you may get from “sug gestion**, hypnotic or otherwise, is not in yourself but in the person from whom the suggestion comes. If someone tells you you have noth ing to fear, you will be fearless just as long as you believe him—and no longer. Belief impressed on you by hypnosis may last somewhat longer than if you received the reassurance while awake, but does not change your deeper, unconscious feelings. True self-confidence comes only from within, through understanding and rejecting the childish anxieties that have robbed you of it. Can you think without words? Answer: Not logically or “ab stractly.” All the higher mental processes depend on your being able to attach verbal “labels” to your experiences and sensations. For example, you must know the word “amdety” (or an equivalent) to be able to think clearly about the cause and nature of emotional disturbances. Tests are said to show that children who are deaf, while normally intelligent, are inferior in thinking power because they know comparatively few words, and con versely, there is a definite relation between the size of your vocabulary and your chance of business or pro fessional success.

Barton W HEN AN OVERWEIGHT PER SON realizes that he is losing his figure, he will give this matter more thought than he Will a physi cian’s warning about the dangers of overweight to health and life itself of overweight. Forgetting that his excess fat • came on slowly and gradually, he looks about for a quick method of removing this excess fat instead of removing it by the slow, safe method of eating less food and. if able, taking more exercise. There are certain drugs which reduce the appetite and still allow enough strength to car ry on daily work. Two out standing drugs of this nature are Benzedrine Sulfate and Dex- edrine Sulfate. Benzedrine Sul phate, amphetamine, first be came widely known because a group of university students found that it removed fatigue and allowed them to study and keep bright for many extra hours. Later it was found that the individual could not only do with less sleep but with less food also because ha did not become hungry. In some cases of overweight phy sicians consider that the use of a hunger-reducing drug is advisable. Some expert advice on this subject is given in the British Medical Annual by a group of physicians. In investigating Benzedrine Sulfate and Dexedrine Sulfate, they found that both drugs are effective in re ducing appetite, mainly through their action on the brain, but both cause certain side effects which must be controlled by the physi cian or it may be unwise to use them in certain patients. These side effects are dizziness, depres sion, insomnia, feelings of frustra tion, dryness and a metallic taste in the mouth. It was found that Dex edrine Sulfate caused fewer side effects than Benzedrine Sulfate. Both drugs give a feeling of well being. Reducing the food intake is al ways necessary with every method of reducing overweight.

Injury or illness may so affect the \ nerves that the patient is unable to continue the work of which he was capable before the disability occured. Along with the hardening of the arteries, especially of the brain, goes rigidity of thought. As the blood vessels lose flexibility, so does the mind. Homogenization is a process by which a solid or liquid is broken into many small particles and dispersed in a liquid without sepa rating on standing. THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C.

And weeds that do push through the mulch come out with roots intact with an easy pulL Crab grass, that scourge of many gardeners, doesn’t have a chance. There are other advantages in mulches. They conserve soil mois ture, prevent packing and crust ing of soil surface, and such resi dues as are dug into the soil add to its humus content There are numerous materials that make a good mulch, including straw, pine needles and even saw dust, if very coarse. Mulch is usually applied four or five inches in depth. 2.161 MUlbn Bushels 01 Com in Fann Storage The U.S. department of agricul ture in a general crop report in January reported stocks of nearly 2,161 million bushels of corn re mained on farms at ttie beginning of the year, and these were bol stered by relatively large stocks of other feed grains. • While these farm supplies of feed grains were larger than in all but three years on record, they were considerably smaller than on Jan uary 1 of the past two years, in total and particularly per animal unit to be fed, the report stated. Hay stocks appeared ample in most areas. Farm stocks of wheat, however, were smaller than aver age but slightly larger than a year ago. Soybean stocks were much larger than on any other January 1, because of the record crop. As for the wheat prospect, a rel atively large acreage of winter wheat, a sixth more than average, was sown in the fall of 1950 under conditions mostly favorable to ideal for germination and early growth, the report said. HAVING A PARTY for a bride-to- be? Or, is there a baby shower on your calendar for a close friend? These occasions, which are really very simple affairs, often put a hostess to the real test: she has to greet a number of peo ple and make everyone at home; at the same time, she must serve foods nicely. It isn’t such a big order if you've planned your food well and prepared it all in advance. This frets you for that important job of hostess ing, greeting at the door as well as mingling with your guests. The food should be all ready to serve, except for bringing in on trays. The table can be set in ad vance, except for the food, since buffet style is a good casual way of doing this type of party. If you're serving a fruit punch, this can be all set, too, in a large bowl, chilling in ice. Canvas Storage To keep that good tarpaulin from being damaged by rats and mice, suspend it from a barn rafter by using a barrel hoop as a holder. A metal hoop should be used. In case of a long tarpaulin, use two or more hoops several feet apart. Lack oi Soil Moisture Tops Production Problem The department of agriculture listed a number of general farm situations that might affect produc tion during 1951. Included were shortages of soil moisture in im portant southwestern wheat areas, prospects of less irrigation water from snows, freeze damage to fall- sown grain crops in the south, loss of farm labor to the armed serv ices and shortages of repair parts for machinery. SANDWICHES, cakes and cookies, all go well with the punch, and may be made in advance. Select a color ful punch with fruit flavors which will appeal to your guests: "Spiced Pineapple Punch (Makes 2 quarts) Mi cup sugar IK cups water 4 sticks cinnamon 12 whole cloves 1 large (46-ounce) can pine apple juice 1H cups orange juice M cup lemon juice Simmer first four ingredients about 30 minutes.

Toum ttpCRTCP IN WASHINOTON r. m Li, Vt f\ C ^ o i f e v> Moral Indiotment I N ONE OF the most savage indict ments of the moral standards of the American people on recqrd. Sen. William Fulbright, of Arkan sas, proposes to set up a commis sion of eminent citizens to re-eval uate our moral standards and strengthen the “faith of all decent men in our democratic society.” Among other things, Senator Ful bright said: “Too many people in our nation do not believe anything with con viction. They question the precepts of God or of man indiscriminately. The values of life which were clear to the Pilgrims and the founding fathers have become dim and v fuzzy in outline. False propaganda and the “big lie” of demagogues have created doubts in the minds of men. Professional political hucksters imp ported from afar, without local re sponsibility - or restraint, corrupt free elections and poison democracy at its source.” Senator Fulbright’s speech on the senate floor, in.which he said that ''government and its activities are in a very real sense, a mirror of our national life”, grew out of his committee probe of the reconstruc tion finance corporation and the Kefauver committee’s sensational television side show of the nation wide crime syndicate and its con nection with politics in the larger cities of the nation. '> If what Senator Fulbright •ays is tree then It is time for yen folks in the home towns of the country to examine your consciences. Also, if what ho says is true, what has happened to religion and the influences sf the churches in Did the crime year sensibilities or did yon shrug it sff as a good show? Were you outraged at the fact that some government em ployees received favors In tbo reconstruction finance corpora tion, or did you pass It off as something that Is incidental to politics? Perhaps it has taken a side-show such as was staged by the Kefauver committee to awaken the people to the. fact that criminals wielded in fluence in high places, and if the people did not know that before, then this highly publicized television show was worthwhile. But this re porter has pointed out time and time again that if there is any lack of faith In our federal government it has been engendered by “the big* lie of demagogues which ha ye created doubts in the minds of men” and by .the chipping away of our cherished civil liberties in these staged committee hearings while the members have one eye on how much publicity they are getting and the other on whether it is making votes for them at the ballot box. There is not a man in Wash ington who knows the facts, who will not agree that the congress of the United States is lily white, with all its imperfections, as compared to any state legis lature In the land. There is not a man here who will not agree that the entire Toverament of the United States is a Sunday school class, as compared with any given state government. Challenge to America The challenge to the moral stami na of the American people in the home towns of the country is not whether some basketball players accepted bribes, or whether a half- dozen government employees ac cepted mink coats or dee* freezes, or hotel rooms in return for favors, or whether Costello is still out of jail where he should be, reprehensi ble as these facts are. The chal lenge is whether we shaU keep our hard earned freedoms and civil liberties in the face of the mortal threat of Soviet Communist aggres sion. This is the one menace this congress and all the people should be united in opposing. Never before have the American people faced a menace of this magnitude—the Kremlin blueprint for a Communist world. Of what relative importance is the Kefauver committee as com pared to the meeting of the foreign ministers of the 21 sister American Republics here in Washington?
