MIRROR Of Your MIND Golddiggers Found i m * Incapable of Love By Lawrence Gould Are golddiggers really mercenary? Answer: Not at bottom, main tains Dr. Edmund Bergler. The golddigger is essentially a girl who is incapable of loving any body. But two things reveal the fact that money is not what she is really after: her propensity for marrying someone who is not as rich as she imagines and her dis content with anything she gets after she has got it. Her real, if unconscious, aim in life is to per petuate her sense of being refused and rejected, and this is why, when any demand of hers is granted, she immediately makes another, more exacting one. olds, but sees middle age ap proaching for his contemporaries. At 50 he still feels younger than he is, but cannot understand the way the younger generation ap pears to have grown up, and does not know how to treat them. As another writer put it: “No one ever feels middle-aged—you feel young until you begin to feel old.” Are most people conscious of their age? Answer: Not in any realistic sense, says Dr. G. Kafka in Acta Psychologica. The average person gets a fixed idea of his own age at about 25 and thinks of his friends as of the same age, usually judg ing new acquaintances to be old er than they are. Up to around 40, he feels at home with 25-year- Should a childless wife “work?” Answer: Certainly—at one thing or another. There is nothing psy chologically worse for any woman than to have nothing to do which she feels is worth doing, and few women can spend all their energies in keeping house for themselves and their husbands. The idea that a man’s selfrespect will suffer if his wife goes out and works for money is a relic of the past, and usually implies fear of her becom ing “independent.” But even where this idea persists, a childless wife can find an unpaid job, working for some phase of social welfare.

I KEEPING HEALTHY I Keep III Child Quiet in Polio Time By Dr. James W. Barton There have been so many epi demics of infantile paralysis that physicians are learning to recognize cases earlier and so prevent much of the paralysis that accompanies this disease. In Annals of Internal Medicine, Dr. John R. Paul (Yale University) points out that the average series of infantile paralysis (poliomyelitis) in succeeding epidemics, contains a degreasing percentage of persons over age 15. There is no explana tion for this fact but it is found that the percentage of cases which do not result in permanent paralysis is apparently increasing. It is because so many older individuals now contract infantile paralysis that most physicians use the name poliomyelitis instead of infantile paralysis. Symptoms of poliomyelitis found in both early and late cases are fever, vomiting and headache, whether or not the disease pro gresses to paralysis. The type of onset in young chil dren seems to differ from that of older children and adults. Pain and a quiet onset are more likely to oc cur in patients over 15 years of age than in those under that age. Once there is a rise in tempera ture, it is believed that the virus or organism of poliomyelitis may al ready be in the central nervous system and the patient should be handled accordingly. Once the virus reaches the central nervous system, there are areas in which there is numbness or partial anesthesia, pain in the limbs and then follows stiff neck, stiff back and increase or exaggeration in one or more of the reflexes. These symptoms may be late in coming but Dr. Paul points out that careful handling of the patient, keeping him quiet and off his feet, may delay or prevent paralysis. Where onset is gradual or insid ious, exercise or exertion should be avoided. However, in 80 per cent or more of those under the age of 10, the onset is likely to be sudden, whereas it is sudden in only one- half the patients over age 15. High blood pressure is often a forerunner of heart strokes. • * • Rheumatic fever followed by heart disease is childhood’s greatest en emy. • • • Pain under breastbone, palpita tion, shortness of breath and fatigue occur when high blood pressure is present. \ Sore feet are a physical and men tal hazard. • » • Ill-fitting shoes during childhood are a major cause of sore feet in adults. • • • Many times the alcoholic’s pride will not let him recognize that ho cannot manage his drinking success fully. SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY IN A JAM Now’s the time for all good homemakers to get in a jam—a good one! From the grocer’s shelf to your pantry shelf—from sum mer’s plenty to winter’s sweet- tooth hunger! Get in that jam, lady —either buy it from your grocer, or better still, make it yourself! Just look what your grocer has to offer today—plums, early peach es, late strawberries, limes, lemons, oranges—and that answer to a sum mer thirst—the toothy watermelon! Jams, marmalades and pickles—all for the asking, while you wait for the berries and later peaches—all for present eating fresh, and future eating in preserve form! While all melons are good, water melon is still King crowned around' the Fourth of July, and ruling the American appetite long thereafter. The price of watermelon you’ll find in plenty at your grocer's is moderate—and thrifty manager that you are you will waste nothing! Even the seeds dried out and salted make delicious appetizers. Enjoy the fruit itself, straight with the teeth in that typical watermelon grin; or as the center of a salad of other melons and fruits. Then save the rinds for those watermelon pickles like Mother used to make! syss.: ★ *•*★★★**** * * However you’re using ’em you’ll be smart to buy only half a melon at a time, to insure its maturity. But if you buy a whole one, look for a firm, symmetrical melon, colored bright shiny green on top, and creamy yellow on the under side. PULL OF A PLUM Good news for plum-lovers! This year’s crop is expected to reach 92,000 tons, which will lower the price of plums at your grocer’s steadily as they flood the market. You’ll have plenty! Like ’em in fruit salad, combined with other fruits? You can buy ’em, eat ’em, and like 'emu. Or do you like upside down cake? Plums add a delicious flavor to this favorite dessert! As for plum jam—you can carry that haunting flavor into the winter, by preserving as many extra plums as you can hide from your family. They’ll thank you, come winter! • • r Friends Will Build Yet Complete Farm in One Day WAUSAU, WIS.—Because of the efforts of state and federal agen cies, and the friendliness of neigh bors, a disabled World War II vet eran will soon have a modern farm. Frank Flees, 27 year old ex marine was wounded on Guam and then lost his right eye in a farm accident last. September. The agen cies plan to use Frank’s unde veloped land for a demonstration of good methods. His neighbors and fellow veterans will pitch in be cause they want to help Flees. The result is that Frank will have a complete modern farm, including a house, barn, 65 fenced acres and plowed land, a water reservoir, and wood lots. Plans call for his friends and neighbors to build, plant and till the whole works in one day. That day, an important one in the life of Frank Flees, will be Sep tember 12. All of the materials and labor for the project have been prom ised. Industry joined with con tractors, businessmen, and farm groups tv contribute materials. About 200 have offered to donate labor and equipment. The idea was the brainchild of Di. B. J. Przedpelski, a Polish dis placed Person, who now is a spe cial farm agent for 10 towns in the Marathon and Portage counties areas where Flees’ 200 acre tract is situated. He made the sugges tion; town leaders were quick to fall into line with the program. Wil liam Weis, town of Spencer, chair man of the Marathon county board’s agricultural committee now heads the project. For Flees, it all sounds like a dream come true. Small Kentucky Towns Attract New Industries FRANKFORT, Ky.—The agricul tural and industrial development board of Kentucky announced re cently nearly $1,000,000,000 worth of new industry has moved into the state or made commitments to move in since January 1. Largest of the new projects are the $500,000,000 atomic energy plant near Paducah and the $300,000,000 GE plant at Louisville.

Good results are not so much a matter of tal ent, but rather of care given to a few simple instructions. Before finishing the canning, have a plan in mind. If you need some whole fruits to complete dessert plans, then that’s the thing to put up. If your relishes need a bit of rounding out, then plan to put up a few jars of pickled peaches or some vegetable pickles. Jams and butters should come In for their share of attention, too, unless you already have enough spreads for mealtime and lunch boxes. If you want to give a few jars away as presents, decide how many you’ll need and go to work with these recipes you’ll treasure after trying once. • • • •Pear and Peach Jam (Makes 8 6-ounce glasses) 2 caps finely chopped pears 1% cups finely chopped peaches . 1 box powdered pectin 4% cups sugar Add powdered pectin and sugar to the chopped pears and chopped peaches.

KENNETH i. FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Matthew 25:14-30; Act* Q• AO AH • DEVOTIONAL READING: II Corin thian* 8:1-9. Christian's Spending Lesson for August 12, 1951 O NCE upon a time, so they say, la Schotchman opened his pocketbook in December, and a June-bug flew out. That story be longs to the class of stories that sound funny because they are im possible, like the Paul Bunyan sto- ries, or the one about the fly that fell off a marble and broke his back. No man is so stingy that he could go from June to De cember without opening his pocket- book to spend a Dr. Foreman single cent. Spend ing is something all of us do, all the time. • • • Is Your Money Yours? #/TT’S my money and I can do what ^ I please with it.” That is the average man’s attitude toward his money. But it’s not the Christian attitude. In the first place, Jesus’ parable of the talents reminds us that all the conditions, and all the energy, and everything else that makes earning money possible, are in the long run the gifts of God. “It is he that hath made us and not we ourselves” is just as true now as it ever was. God it is who gave ns life in the first place, who has pre served us, and endowed us with whatever gifts and capacities we have. We are not our own, we are bought with a price, as Paul puts it. However, we • earn our living, whether as farmers, business or professional people, if it had not been for the blessings of God we could have earned nothing at aLL* One bedrock principle of the Old Testament is that the earth is the Lord’s. Put that together with the New Testament principle that the Christian belongs to God, and you have arrived at the great principle of “stewardship.” • • • Profits or Profit? T HE earliest Christians of Jeru salem pooled all their resources and dealt them out to all, in propor tion to their individual needs. This experiment in sharing the wealth failed; and one main reason for the failure was that they paid all their attention to consumption and none at aH to production. No matter how smoothely you distribute the wealth, if some one is not producing, the whole pile will vanish in time. Nevertheless, those earliest Christians did have a firm grasp of a real truth: - namely, that when a Christian spends money he ought to have the needs of the community first in mind, and not his own profits. Does this sound too idealistic? Well, even the law, slanted though it may seem toward the protection of wealth, puts limits on the ways a man can spend his money. If it can be shown that what he pays hisi good money for is hurtful to the‘^community, the law will clamp down on him, in many cases. You can’t keep a skunk farm on Broad way. It may be your money, and your skunks, but it's not your Broadway. To take another angle: down in Atlanta (Georgia) a highly success ful industrialist, when he died, left the stock in his company to his employees. They had helped him earn his fortune, he said; they should share in the proceeds. Does not our community help us earn whatever we do earn? And doesn’t the community deserve con sideration in the spending? • • • The Money-God N O temples on our main streets are labeled “To the God Mam mon.” But money is often a god, all the same. On Mammon’s alter how many things and men are sacrificed! What will men not do to “make a fast buck,” to turn a neat profit? Honor, decency, truth fulness, health, even life itself, will be given up before consenting to cut the profits down. Every great intrenched evil— gambling, prostitution, corrupt courts, liquor traffic—is as hard to dislodge as the silversmiths of Ephesus, and for the same reason: The people who stand to make money out of sin never care what happens to the sin ners. But let us watch ourselves. Do we smalltimers criticize the paunchy big-shots because we really hate the way they sacrifice everything to greed, or is it because we are envious?
