Mrs. Clara Fischer, attorney at law in New York who obtained her law degree by home study, Is pre sented set of laws annotated by Arthur V. Chamberlain, president of the Bar Association, as Mrs. Fischer’s daughter, Arline, looks on. Mrs. Fischer never went to college. Should you be ashamed of a mate’s mistakes? Answer: You may not be able to help feeling embarrassed if your partner commits some serious of fense against the rules of grammar or accepted good form, but at least be honest with yourself about it. You are not “embarrased for him,” but for yourself. Your shame means that for the moment your own self esteem—as affected by ‘‘what peo ple will think”—has become more important to you than your love for your mate or your recognition of the qualities for which you love him. But don’t let the injury to your ego drive you to the even worse breach of good manners of correcting him in public. Are gamblers and alcoholics alike? Answer: Yes. Gambling and al coholism form a “triad” of neurotic patterns with superstition, writes Dr. lago Galston in Mental Hygiene. All three are based on what he calls “precausal” thinking—that'is, thinking in the way a child does be fore he has learned to recognize the law of cause and effect. The gam bler, the alcoholic and the super stitious person all believe that good fortune may come, or the conse quences of their mistakes be averted by the intervention of some unseen and capricious power (“Lady Luck,” for instance) if they can but gain its favor. Inconsistent parents prevent a child’s learning to think real istically. Does tension make workers inefficient? Answer: Yes, says Dr. H. Graham Ross, summarizing the conclusions of a Canadian seminar on “Ten- sional States in Industry.” Tense or anxious feelings on the part of work ers are responsible for a large share of inefficiency, absenteeism, accidents and psychosomatic illness Such states may be caused by per sonal problems outside of the busi ness, but may also result from the nature of the job, the inconsistency of workers or supervisors, and espe cially from the uneasiness of those workers who are nearing the age of retirement and are conscious of their limitations and their insecure posi tion. KEEPING HEALTHY Family Physicians and Cancer Tests By Dr. James -J HAVE WRITTEN before of the ^ three middle-aged women who, because of lumps in their breasts, thought they had cancer. They re fused to consult their physician, however, because, if cancer were present, it would upset some long- land plans for entire family. •. During the months that they were following these plans, these three women spent days and nights of mental torture, but, like all wives and mothers, they had in mind only the happiness of the family. Return ing home and consulting their physi cian and specialist they found that the lumps in the breast were simply enlarged milk glands and as such were perfectly harmless. Because the cancer societies of the United States and Canada know that early cancer is curable and late cancer is not, they have asked all physicians to be cancer conscious and not delay treatment in suspici ous cases. Some men and women of cancer age, however, feel that physi- W. Barton cians and.health writers are causing many to develop cancerphobia (fear of cancer). It might be well to repeat the statement of Dr. Donald V. True- blood in General Practice Clinics some months ago. “The great effort instituted and sponsored by the American Cancer Society some years ago for the pur pose of educating the public re garding the early signs and symp toms of the possibility of cancer be ing present have borne fruit (maybe a few phobias). The people who have been educated by this enterprise, if intelligent, have contacted their family physician immediately, even though they may not have had any of the signs and symptoms des cribed, but because they would like to have a complete examination to assure themselves that no evidence of this dread disease is present. A few that may develop phobias prob ably need examination as much as the others.

Secret of Courage Lesson for February 24, 1952 iM)UWWfLI!MH MIRROR Mate's Error Ol Your ■ ■ Needn't Embarrass MIND By Lawrence Gould Dr. Foreman *pHERE are different kinds of cour- •• age. One is physical, either en during pain or enduring the pros pect of it. Another is moral, endur ing ridicule and slander, or the 'prospect of it. Some occasions call for both kinds. Just as there are different kinds of courage, so there are different causes of it. Phys ical courage may be in some cases no more than the result of ignorance. A passenger on a boat during a storm said to an old salt: “I’m not a bit afraid. “The old Irish sea man sniffed. “Them as knows nawthin’ fears nawthin’,” he said. Men who have been In com bat can recall some character who lacked all the virtues but one; he was never afraid. Phys ical courage can even be in stilled by drugs or by rum. But moral courage cannot be in duced by drugs, alcoholic or otherwise. It takes more than a tough nerv ous system to stand up against slan der, hatred and ridicule. Some men who can take a razor-blade and calmly operate on themselves for snake-bita cannot stand the sight of human snakes who try to hiss them down. • • • The Inner Circle J ESUS was always on the lookout for brave men. Indeed, he made brave men. There were three men in his in nermost circle—Peter, James and John. They were men of quite dif ferent temperaments; tradition re ports that they differed widely in age also. But for whatever reasons, Jesus treated these men differently from the other nine. That is, he kept them close to him on certain occasions when the rest were left behind or shut out. These three were his only com panions at the mount of transfig uration. They were the only three he allowed in the room where he brought Jairus’ little girl back to life. They were the three he took with him into the garden of Geth- semane to share his agony. They failed him there—they failed him at other times as well. But the point is that Jesus kept on with them, he did not give them up as hopeless cowards, he gave them more of himself than he gave to any other mortals in his time. It was as if the Master had said to himself, these men, at least, shall know me. And though they failed him, the time came when they did not fail. Our story In Acts shows how these men stood up against odds; against all the weight of popular opinion, all the force of law, all the attack from the leaders of society, these men stood up with a simple courage. They showed both physical and moral courage at the same time. And even their enemies, surprised and baffled and blind as they were, understood the secret of th^ir cour age: they knew that they had “been with Jesus.” * * * Heroes Without Medals N OT all heroes wear medals. To this very day there are Chris tians who show the same kind of courage made famous by Peter and John. When a minister in Louis iana or Kentucky speaks out against the gambling which has become an octopus in his community; when he not only risks a dynam'te bomb on his front doorstep from the gambling lords, but the name of “crackpot” from his neighbors; when the ministerial association of Gary, Ind., dares to stand up against powerful business interests in that city in the name of decent housing for the poor; when a Frank Graham of North Carolina dares to stand for Christian fairness to the Negro even when it means contin ual slander and political defeat; when Kefauver dares to stand up against corruption; you can be sure that the secret of such courage is the old one: these men have been with Jesus. The story of Christian missions is full of such things. More han fifty years ago a heathen mob was about to tear a missionary named Pitkin to ribbons. They asked him if he had anything to say first, “Yes, * he said, “tell my son to come out here and finish my work.” They killed him; but the son did come. And one of his frst converts was a man who as a boy had seen the elder Tltkin die. He had never been able to forget that kind of courage. In our own time another mission ary, with the axe literally above his head, was asked: Aren’t you afraid? —Afraid of what? he said. If you kill me I shall go straight to heaven. 4 Keep Food Budget Down by Serving Lower-Priced Meats IF YOU HAVE to shake your head sadly at the high price of food, remember that yoy can help trim the costs by serving some of the lower-priced cuts of meat.
