MIRROR Of Your MIND You Can Outgrow 2 ■ ■ * Mistakes of Past By Lawrence Gould Can your past make yon unworthy of love? Answer: Not in itself. The only question is how far you have out grown or “seen through” the emo tions that led you to make the mis takes which you are now so much ashamed of. Insofar as you have really done this, you are less like ly to go wrong again than a person who has always “toed the straight atxd narrow.” Your worst handicap is likely to be whatever sense of guilt you feel at your past missteps, for this guilt not only hampers the self-esteem which mature love re quires, but tends to discourage you from trying to achieve the happi ness that may still be yours. “Let the dead past bury its dead.” May repressed hate hamper learning? Answer: Yes, says Dr. Herbert I. Harris, Cambridge, Mass, psy chiatrist. Experiments at the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology showed striking improvement in learning and study habits in a large number of students who had had an opportunity in psychiatric treatment to get their repressed rage at parental discipline out of their systems. “These students un wittingly transferred rage from fa thers to fatherlike teachers,” and got their revenge by refusing to study or learn. Any child’s natural curiosity makes him eager to learn provided he does not regard study ing as something that is forced up on him. Can you bribe the “baby” In you? Answer: Yes, and with quite “small change,” provided the cur rency is pleasure. Trying to cut down-my smoking, I observed that if I thought of lighting a cigarette but refrained from doing so, it be came considerably harder to con centrate on my work, whereas giving in to the “temptation” at once released a flood of ideas. While my conscious reason shows me plenty of incentives for getting my job done, these are all com paratively in the future—at least as far off as next week’s pay check. But being completely infantile (like everyone else’s) my unconscious mind “can’t wait” and demands pleasure “now.” TRANSLATION!

Barton A S A BOY I came home and told my mother about an interview I had with a prominent man of our city. “You know, Mother,” I said, “he was very easy to see and talked with me as if I were a man. I thought he would be more impor tant.” My mother assured me that all really big men were easy to see and kindly because they are themselves and do not put up a false front to impress others. This incident came back to me as I read of an address given by Dr. Bella S. Van Bark, psychiatrist and faculty member of the American Institute of Psychoanalysis, before the Cooper Union Forum, New York City. In discussing the emotional ten sions that come to many of us at times, a sort of gnawing sensation, like hunger, in the pit of the stomach. Dr. Van Bark ascribes them to not being honest with our selves, trying to put on a “big front.” “When, In the course of trying to take care of himself and get along, an Individual needs to evolve a fake picture of what he really believes, wants, needs, feels and thinks, he> inevitably loses sight of and turns against his own Urges for self-expres sion, self-assertion and self development, in a natural and spontaneous way. In dealing with himself and in any Impact of people in daily living or on a larger scale, he experiences tension much more frequently than the individual who is ca pable of greater honesty and reality about himself.” .The individual who is not honest with himself (or herself) fulfills the expression, “Pride goeth before a fall.” Dr. Van Bark points out that when people fail to recognize him for what he wants them to think he is, he becomes filled with ten sion. ★ HEALTH NOTES ★ Symptoms of stomach cancer may be silent. • • • The vision of a cross-eyed child is impaired when the child fails to make full-use of one eye. * • • One of the first things an instruc tor has to remember is that when the brain is used in a task, fatigue comes rapidly.

THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. JyJIM RHODY Not So Crazy The old saw “crazy as a goose, 1 has always been ridiculed by hunt ers of the Canada Goose. This, most famous of the Domin'm’s wildfowl, is brave, strong and vily . . . the opposite to crazy. It has probably more sense than any other bird, as anyone who has set out to bag some will testify. There is probably no better au thority on the Canada Goose than Alfred Hole, who operates a mink ranch near Rennie, Manitoba. As a result of an incident back in 1940 he became the friend and protector of a flock of wild geese and since then he has devoted a great deal oi time each summer studying their habits and ways. Workers in the Rennie railway yards in June, 1940, found four goslings not more than three or four days old. Their mother had been killed in some way, evidently, short ly before the railwaymen made the discovery. Not knowing what to do with the youngsters, they took them to Mr. Hole who undertook to raise them. Sportsmen who thought they knew all about wild geese scoffed at the idea that the goslings could be raised without a natural mother and made a bet of a bottle of Scotch that the goslings would not live six weeks. The bet was accepted and Mr. Hole began a career that even now is in its infancy. Alfred erected a pen on a spot where there was plenty of luscious grass and the raising of the fledgling family started. The first diet was rolled oats and green stuffs hand fed. But, it was not the fun looking after them that Alfred anticipated. It transpired, goslings get mighty hungry around 3:30 in the morning and the “foster mother” had to rise at that time to do his self-imposed chore. The babies thrived and survived the difficult six weeks and the bet was paid. Immediately there was another wager that the goslings would not be alive in six weeks and this bet was duly paid. In the late summer the young geese, now strong and healthy, made attempts to fly and their keeper clipped their wings. Other wise they were not confined and had the run of the grounds and neighboring water. The geese were kept in this way for two years. The third year they were given full freedom and were soon winging it around the country. In the fall of the third year they “honked” a fare well and took off for their winter home in the south. AAA Drift Cards Several thousand postcards, each sealed in a plastic container, will be dropped into the Gulf of Mexico by United States naval aircraft dur ing 1951 to trace complex gulf cur rents as well as the distribution and migrations of commercial fishery stocks, including shrimp, the United States department of the in terior announces. This project is sponsored by the fish and wildlife service of the de partment, with the co-operation of the Gulf States marine fisheries commission, the Texas game fish and oyster commission, the depart ment of oceanography of Texas A&M college, and the navy depart ment’s office of naval research. The postcards are expected to drift about in the gulf currents, and to be cast up eventually on beaches, where many of them will be found and returned to the Gulf States ma rine fisheries commission at New Orleans, La. Then they will be rout ed to scientists who will deduce from the returns the paths which the cards must have followed in the sea. AAA Hunting Dog Types The oldest type of hunting dog known to man is the trail hound* the dog that helped prehistoric man keep the wolf from the door in more ways than one. That first dog was little more than a tamed wolf. He found the scent trail left by the quarry and followed it, baying all the while. His master followed until the hound had put the game up a tree or driven it into a den. It was then up to the man to get his meat, although the dog was often in at the kill. As the centuries went by, man saved the best of his hunting dogs for breeding purposes, destroying all those that failed to meet the standards of the hunt. In this way, man was unwittingly practicing se lective, breeding, aimed at produc ing a better dog with a superior nose, greater stamina, courage and tenacity on the trail. Pursuit of different kinds of game required widely varying abilities. It was the search for different hunting abilities that led to the de velopment of the many breeds—all known as hounds. The slim, stately Greyhound, the Irish Wolfhound, and the long- legged. elegant Borzoi are all hounds. So are the little Beagles, the Shorter Bassets and the shortest Dachshunds. The sad-visaged, long eared, slow moving Bloodhound and the speedy Walker are merely cous ins, many times removed, in the big family of hounds. International Urnlonn Sunday School Leeaona BY DR.

Can Luscious, Seasonal Fruits Now (See Recipes Below) Fruit Canning Helps L USCIOUS FRUITS AND BER RIES canned right now mean better meals for your family later on during the year. Isn’t it nice to open a can of ap plesauce for luncheon, without hav ing to cook it just before the meal? Nice, too to take peach halves, pears or apri cots for salad right out of a jar, isn’t it? How about a berry pie? They’re already in the jar, sweet ened, ready to be put In a crust. Fruit for dessert? Open a can of pineapple^ resting on the canning shelf. Fruit is easy to can because it requires only the simplest of prep aration. Some need skins removed by blanching in hot water. Then they’re packed in jars and pro cessed in a hot water bath or oven to cook them completely. If you want to prevent shrinkage on some types, pre-cook slightly. Applesauce (Hot Pack) 3 pounds green apples 2 cups water 1M cups sugar Wash apples, quarter, core and remove bruised or decayed parts. Jf fruit has to stand for any time, prevent discoloration by placing in slightly salted water. Drain. Add water and cook until soft. Press through sieve or colander to re move seeds and skins. Add sugar and bring to a boil. Pack while hot into clean jars. Adjust cap accord ing to manufacturer’s directions. Process 15 minutes in boiling water bath. Baked Apples Wash and core apples and place in baking dish containing enough boiling water to cover bottom of dish. Bake until tender. Pack im mediately In hot, sterile jars.

LYNN SAYS: Here are Aids For Fruit Canning Work with tongs or gloves when removing jars from hot water to pre vent burned fingers. When a recipe calls for hot, sterile jars, this means they should be pre pared by washing in hot, soapy water, rinsing in clear hot water and then placing in a large kettle, tub or pan on a rack or folded cloth. Pour boiling water over them and boil for 10 minutes. Take jars out of hot water as you fill them. LYNN CHAMBERS’ MENU Sliced Rump Roast in Barbecue Sauce. Au Gratin Potatoes \ Baked Tomatoes Jellied Cabbage-Pineapple Salad Sliced Peaches with Cream Gingerbread Squares Beverage Sour Cherries (Open Kettle) Wash and pit cherries. For pitting use a pen point inverted in a hold er. Place cherries in preserving kettle immediately and add enough sugar to sweeten, about 1 cup sugar to each quart of berries. Add no water.

Drop 1 quart of ber ries into the boiling syrup and let stand 20 seconds. Remove to col ander and drain. Repeat, using an other quart of berries. Continue un til there are several quarts in col ander for canning. Pack closely in hot sterile jars and cover to with in % inch of top with syrup in which they were dipped. Seal jars and process 20 minutes in hot water bath or 70 minutes in a 250°F. oven. • • • Peaches (Open Kettle) Use firm, ripe fruit.

Slice crosswise and pare each slice. Cut out cores and re move eyes. Pack in jars in slices, wedges or grated, as desired. Cov er with thin or medium syrup to within % inch of top. Seal and process in boiling water bath for 30 minutes; or in oven 90 minutes at 250°F. For oven canning, set jars 2 in ches apart in a shallow pan. Heat oven to temperature necessary be fore putting in the jars, and begin counting the time immediately. If using an electric oven, do not use the top heating element. When fruits are packed tightly in jars, you will not have too much space at the top after they’re pro cessed. A wooden paddle is good to use for this job, and so is a small olive bottle, the top of which fits nicely on the fruit or tomatoes as you pack. Community Living Lesson for July 22, 1951 Dr. Foreman T HERE is one way to get along in any neighborhood without any. trouble at all: just have nothing to do with any one. But that is not only not a Christian way of living, it is not practicable. You need the community and the community needs you. If you want to tell the world good bye, go rent your self a room on the 17th floor of some apartment house in New York. You won’t be bothered with callers! But if you live in the typical American town or country community, you not only cannot help knowing every body more or less, but you want to know them, you need to know them. • • • The Community Includes Everybody S OME communities cease to be communities and become ex clusive clubs; no strangers can break in. A lady in a very old county in a long-settled state, said of her next-door neighbor: "That family came here sixty years ago; they don’t really ' belong here.” Now a true community ought to include every one In it, and it isn’t a real community until tt does. Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats suggests this. The trouble with the “goats” was that they just never saw the down- and-out members of the community at all. Your own neighborhood has in it, perhaps, some lonely people, unfortunate people, some human left-overs. What is the community doing for them? • • • The Church and Its Own O NE practical thing that Chris tians can do for their commu nities is to see to it that no Chris tian suffers want. However much we may disagree with the Mormons, there is one feature of the Mormon church which the rest of us might take to heart: in all the depression of 20 years ago, there never was a Mormon on relief. Probably in most small com munities the separate congre gations are not large enough to do this kind of thing effectively; but surely in a community where there are as many as three or four different denom inations, they might mil plan together so that whenever any Christian got into a strait, the rest of the Christians would stand by to help him. There will always be a need fo» general organizations such as the Red Cross or the Grange and the Community Chest; but if Christians always stood by Christians, the rest of the community would at least have less to worry abouL * » • It Takes All Kinds T HE ideal community is one in which everybody is a Christian and indeed all belong to the same church. But such communities are few and far between. Most of us live pretty close—and sometimes uncomfortably close—to people who are not Christians, except perhaps in name, and who may be hard to get along with. How can we live with such people in a Christian way? Paul, in Romans 12, makes some practical suggestions. He knew very well that no city or town in the Roman Empire was Christian or anywhere near it; yet he shows how to have the Christian spirit never-the-less. Christians should be the most val uable members of any community. But are they? Is this true in your community? If so, what is it that the Christians contribute? And if not, is it maybe the Christians’ fault? • * » The Law Above Laws A group of people who act toward each other in no better way than the laws of the land require, may be a neighborhood but it is nc community. The laws (and useful they are, to be sure) can regulate our behavior, bn( they cannot toach our hearts. They can for bid ns to harm our neighbor, but they cannot force ns to feel kindly towards him. For com plete community, something more than law is necessary; and again Paul puts us on the track of it. Love is above all law; it does nol break laws but it goes far beyond them. It is not the law-abiding citizens who are the best ones; the true ornaments and treasures, the First Citizens of a community, ar* the love-abiding.
