THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C MIRROR, ^ ^ Tokina Sides Of Your Is Childish MIND By Lawrence Gould Is the need to “take sides" childish? Answer: Yes, in many cases. To day’s world is full of controversies on subjects about which most of us are not well enough informed to have an intelligent opinion. Yet we often are 'ashamed not to take one side or the other even though this may mean backing error or in justice. Refusing to “stand up and be counted" is hard from a childish standpoint, first, because it implies • confession of ignorance, and sec ond, because it leaves you an “out sider." But while there are crises In which you have no choice but to take a stand of some sort, the emotionally mature person still tries to “be sure he is right” before he goes ahead. Can you have a “nervous stomach?" Answer: Not literally, anyhow. The condition described by that now old-fashioned phrase has nothing to do with the nerves and does not originate in the stomach. It is basic ally a form of anxiety (chronic fear) which produces disturbances of the digestive system. And while S EVERAL YEARS AGO the su perintendent of a state hospital for mental patients was astonished to find a young woman who had been under mental treatment for two years suddenly become normal. He felt that the removal of infected teeth a short time previously was ^probably the cause. He then had all the patients examined for infection and had various specialists—teeth, nose and throat, gall bladder, in testines and others—visit the hos pital, remove infection and correct defects. He reported that about 40 per cent of the patients, within a few weeks or months, were fit to return home or to business. While this was a very large percentage of cures, there is no doubt but that in fection affects both body and mind. In Modern Treatment Year Book, Dr. S. C. Anderson states that authorities are not agreed as to the effect on mental health of dental sepsis (infec tion) or impacted teeth but numerous changes in nerve and brain structure and psychiatric Constipation is probably the com monest complaint of mankind. • * » There is a great need for psy chiatrists and a shortage of these specialists. • • • Hysterical patients show the fol lowing symptoms: loss of memory, inability to speak, blindness, fits, jparalysis, trembling and vomiting. the anxiety may have produced chronic irritation or disease of the digestive organs which requires medical or surgical treatment, a real cure depends on finding and removing its emotional source. If you have been told you have a “nervous stomach," by all means eat sensibly, but also try to finl out what’s “on your mind." Are babies naturally affectionate? Answer: Yes, says Dr. Katharine J. Benham of Duke University in the Journal of Genetic Psychology. Twenty years of study of infant be havior has convinced her that a baby’s natural tendency is to form affectionate attachments to those who care for him and to express his affection in his actions. If a baby is unfriendly or indifferent, it is because he has been “rebuffed, smothered with unwanted ministra tions, ignored or neglected." Every human being’s instincts prompt him to find his chief satisfaction in con tacts with other persons, and self- centeredness or Narcissism is at bottom a “defeat reaction.” conditions have sometimes been related to the teeth such as meningitis, brain abscess, polio myelitis, convulsions, hysteria and neuroses. Dr. Anderson refers to the work of Dr. T. C. Graves, chief medical officer of the City of Birmingham (England) Mental Hospital, in British Dental Journal, seeking to prove, giving facts and figures and illustrative cases, that removal of mouth sepsis (infection), impacted wisdom teeth and infection of ad joining parts of nose and throat have resulted in great improvement, if not cure, after all other treat ments have failed, in a variety of mental conditions. He strongly ad vocates x-raying the teeth and jaws of all patients and removing all pos sible causes of sepsis and pressure. While some authorities do not be lieve that infected teeth and im pacted teeth cause much mental ill health. Dr. Graves states that the safe thing to do is to x-ray both jaws of all mental cases and re move all infection of teeth. Fat persons are a poor surgical risk. • • • Rheumatic fever in children is still the leading cause of death be tween five and 15 years of age. • • • One treatment of hysteria con sists of direct suggestion, indirect suggestion or hypnotism by the psychiatrist. TM 1 ? week ?n ltdiyi on INSPIRATION Gentleness //ffiHE MORE PERFECT we ar«." * a great French churchman once said, “the more gentle and quiet we become toward the de fects of others." Gentleness was perhaps the most remarkable characteristic of Christ. He was gentle even on the Cross. With His last breath, He prayed to His Father to forgive those who had crucified him and had come to mock His last anguished hours.

Miss Sarah Chakko, presi dent of Isabella Thoburn col lege, Lucknow, India, is the first woman co-president of the World Council of Churches. She was elected by the council's eentral committee at Rolle, Switzerland to succeed Dr. T. C. Chao, dean of the school of re ligion, Yenching University, Pe king, as one of six co-presi dents. Liquor Costs Nation $1,00(^000 An Hour BOSTON—Americans now spend a million dollars an hour for / beer, wine and liquor, Mrs. D. Leigh Col vin, president of the National Wom an’s Christian Temperance Union, said hero. The t 1950 consumer expenditure for alcoholic beverages totaled $8,- 760,000,000, or $210,000,000 more than the expenditure for 1949, she stated. Last year’s consumption added up to 2,903,000,000 gallons, according to the dry leader. Mrs. Colvin gave these figures in a statement issued on her arrival here for the 77th annual convention of the WCTU. She blamed the drinking increase largely on alco holic beverage advertising, particu larly in the “slick” magazines and over the radio and television. “Were alcoholic beverage adver tising banned In interstate com merce and over the radio as pro posed in the Bryson bill," she said, “drinking in the United States would drop to half of what it is now, with a corresponding reduc tion in its ill effect on economy and people.” Police Halt Plans Of Dissident Sect ATHENS—Police broke up an at tempt by Old Calendar believers, a group of Greek Orthodox schis matics, to hold an “illegal" service in the nearby village of Menidi. Fifty adherents of the sect were arrested while on busses ready to leave for an Old Calendar church in Menidi, where they planned to hold a Mass. All were later set free except the two bus drivers and Constantine Petropolos and Theodores Boyadjis, said to be the leaders of the group. Those held were charged with at tempting to hold a service at a' church which has been closed by the State. The Old Calendar sect retains the Julian Calendar which the Ortho dox Church in Greece relinquished in 1923 when it adopted the Grego rian Calendar. Religion Question Box Q. Is the famous law-maker, Ham murabi, mentioned in the Bible? A. In Genesis 14 there are ref erences to “Amraphel, king of Shinar," a contemporary of Abraham. It is generally agreed that this was Ham murabi, who first united the Kingdom of Babylon. The rela tion between his laws and those of Moses has been widely dis cussed. Ban on Religious Addresses Upheld PROVIDENCE, R. I.—A 35-year- old Pawtucket city ordinance ban ning religious and political speech es in public parks was upheld here by the Rhode Island Supreme Court in a 3-2 decision. Constitutionality of the ordinance had been challenged by counsel for the Jehovah’s Witnesses in an ap peal of the conviction of one of their number for delivering a Bible lecture in a Pawtucket nark. ]KI AM UMUSUAL CEREMONY TWO DEAF COUPLES WERE MARRIED AT ST PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, FT.

LYNN SAYS: Don’t Let Spoilage Boost Food Costs A good place for eggs is the vege table crisper if you have the room. Eggs should be covered as their shells are porous, and therefore evaporate easily. Store tomatoes, berries, grapes, pears, peaches, apricots and plums right on the refrigerator shelves to allow for free circulation of the cold air. All other fruit should be placed in the crisping container. Leafy vegetables all do best with moist cold. Crisping pans are ideal for these as are sealed vegetable bags or moisture-proof wrappings such as aluminum foil or plastic bags. Always remove meat from its wrappings when you bring it home from the store. Heavy paper pre vents the cold of the refrigerator from 'reaching the meat and also absorbs valuable meat juices. Place unwrapped meat on a platter and %over liehtlv with waxed paper. TMC Touin fftPOPTEP IN WASHINGTON ^AlTEft SHLAD. WNU Correspondent Lack of Honor F EELING in Washington over ouster of 90 West Point cadets for cheating runs all the way from outright condonement, to criticism of both cadets and the West Point honor system, and suggestion that the army and navy academies be converted into graduate schools to train officer candidates graduated from other universities. Concensus, however, runs like this—that cheating cannot be con doned and it’s too bad the boys were caught, but the honor system puts too much strain upon the students and should be modified. The fact is there can be no ap peasement with evil. There already is too much of a tendency to modify honor systems because of the strain, to become complacent over cheat ing in business, in government and in our private and public lives. There is a senate committee right now groping around in a vacuum seeking some ethical standards or honor code for government employ ees. But the sad fact is there ap pears to be little honor in the senate. West Point cadets who cheat were held unfit for farther asso ciation with the student body and fired. Bat United States sen ators who cheat, or float the moral or honor code are still accepted members of that “ex clusive club, the world’s great est deliberative body." As one writer expressed It, “The un fortunate cadets fired for cheat ing can still look forward to be coming United States senators." Freshman, Sen. John Marshal] Butler of Maryland was found guilty by a vote of 9 to 3 of the senate judiciary committee of having con ducted a disgraceful campaign, “a despicable back-street campaign . . . using methods and tactics which are destroying our system of free elections and tend to under mine the very foundation of our government." And yet the senate committee did not find that Sta tor Butler should be ousted as unfit to further associate with his col leagues in that august body. The committee report used up four pages to tell what heinous smearing, and libelous and slander ous and unlawful methods “destruc tive of fundamental American prin ciples" were used by Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the Butler campaign. • • • McCarthy Replies It remained for Sen. William Ben ton of Connecticut to introduce a resolution in the senate first call ing upon McCarthy to resign, and then calling for his ouster by the senate. McCarthy’s reply was that Senator Benton was a Communist tool. That Is his stock reply to all who are American enough to believe in the four freedoms and the Bill of Rights and who oppose irresponsible demagog- ery in a United States senator. That’s what McCarthy calls Secretary of State Dean Ache- son and Secretary of Defense George Marshall, Washington Post and the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and other newspapers which have shown McCarthyism for what it is. • • • Senate to Do Nothing The chances are the senate will not have the intestinal fortitude to uphold its own honor and the honor system by expulsion of the Wis consin senator, who has disgraced the enviable record set in the sen ate by his predecessors, the LaFol- lettes, father and son. It takes two- thirds votes to expel a member and the senate is jealous of its power to expel and it has been used with restraint. The chances are that a majority of the members may agree that McCarthy is an odium difficult to stomach, but, he is first of all the problem of the people of Wiscon sin who have a chance at him next year when he is up for election. It will be interesting to note what hap pens then. • • • Tideland Gil And speaking of the honor sys tem, when Albert Fall as secretary of the interior, took a bribe for bartering away the nation’s oil reserves, he was a piker. The amount of oil involved was rela tively small as compared with what is going on in Congress today in the tidelands oil controversy. For this Congress is expected to barter away potential federal oil reserves believed to be as high as 11 billion barrels in the Gulf and 2 billion barrels off California coast. • • • Lobbyists Active Washington is swarming with oil lobbyists, representing the private companies and the states involved including California, Texas, Louisi ana and Florida, in the audacious effort to overturn three decisions of the U.S. supreme court which says that the oil beneath the seas beyond low tide mark belongs to all the people of the nation, not to the states involved, and that the fed eral government has paramount right, authority over this oil. .
