MIRROR 0/ Your MIND Daydreams And Ideal Marriage By Lawrence Gould Should you dream of an "ideal marriage”? Answer: Yes, if you are able to persuade yourself that you are an “ideal” or perfect person. But if you are honest enough to admit you are imperfect, there is no use in expecting that your marriage will be any more ideal than you are. The best indication of how happy your marriage will be is how happy —or at least, contented—you and your “intended” were before you came to love each other. For mar riage makes happy people happier, but rarely brings happiness to a chronically unhappy man or wom an. You must have learned to get on with yourself before you can get on with another person. Is your earliest memory important? Answer: Yes, write Victor W. Eisenstein, M.D., and Rowena Ryer- son, M.S.S. When a patient is asked. “What is the first thing you remem ber personally in your whole life?” he will usually report a seemingly trivial incident from the time when he was three or four years old. But the fact that he selects this par ticular event may reveal to the psychiatrist his whole basic attitude toward life as well as the nature of the childish conflicts that are at the root of psychosomatic illness. However, first memories are like dreams or neurotic symptoms—they are generally too complex in their implications for you to be able to “interpret” them without help. Does military service improve college grades? Answer: Yes, says Louis Lauro and James D. Perry of the College of the City of New York. Study of the records of 227 veterans showed that on the average they earned better grades after their term of service than before it. This was true especially in technical subjects, in which veterans did "significantly” better than non-veterans, even though their average scholastic apti tude beforehand had been - lower. The fact that the veterans were mostly older than their non-veteran classmates was adjudged a factor in the difference but not a complete explanation of it. Probably they also were more realistic. KEEPING HEALTHY The Status of Our Living Diabetics By Dr. James N otwithstanding the fact that the lives of thousands of cancer patients are being saved by x-rays, radium and surgery, the cause is still unknown and thou sands of patient research workers throughout the world are diligently seeking it. Once the cause is found, early treatment can be given and early treatment will prevent cancer. When we think of those two for merly fatal diseases, diabetes and pernicious anemia, and realize that these diseases can now be con trolled, it gives us hope that the finding of the cause of cancer may not be much longer delayed. It is of interest at this time to read a recent report of Dr. Elliott P Joslin, Boston, the pioneer in the study and treatment of diabetes. In The Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Joslin gives the history of patients living with this disease whose diabetes started or was first recognized while W. Barton they were under 40 years of age. There were 516 cases with diabetes of 25 years’ duration with onset be tween 15 and 40 ye^rs, 273 men and 243 women. In this group, as in all other groups, the percentage with a his tory of heredity in diabetes was high, namely 44 per cent; among the men it was 32 per cent and among the women 53 per cent (as usual, higher). What is the present status or eon- ditioiv-of these 516 diabetics whose onset was between the ages of II and 40, with 25 years of diabetes behind them? Information was sought for nine items from reports from patients and physicians as to their ability to work, whether cataracts had formed or were forming, whether amputa tion of an extremity had been done, if there were heart or head disturb ances.

So, many people are good who do not seem to have a special talent for goo d ness. This talent is not so common as we all wish i t were. Goo dness. real goodness, has many limitations Two of the com-., monest are goody- Dr. Foreman goody-ness and good-for-nothing-ness. Goody goody people rub normal people the wrorg way. Good-for-nothing-ness is not so irritating, but it is far from sat isfying. Don’t we all know persons of whom it is said, “He is good, but —”? Now of a really good person you never say "He is good, but—.” You say, “I only wish there were more like him.” • • • He Chose to Help S UCH a man was Barnabas, one of the leaders of the first Chris tian church. He was called “our beloved Barnabas” not by a single congregation but by a great church council. The whole Christian fam ily of his time thought of him s “our Barnabas,” and they loved him. He was not what yon would call a specially gifted man. He was very impressive in personal appearance, for we know that among superstitions people bo was tak'en for Jupiter or Zens, the most powerful of the Greek gods. But he waa no gifted speaker, and if he wrote any thing we do -not hear of it. His one great gift, his God-given talent, was goodness. He is de scribed as a “good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.” He is first heard of as a property-owner who sold his land and turned over the proceeds for the benefit of his fellow Christians. He was one of those who “called not anything their own” but contributed all thev had. • • « He Could Take a Back Seat I F I can’t be corn I don’t want to be shucks” is a proverb Julius Caesar might have thought of if he had been a farmer instead of a gen eral. Once that famous nan was marching through a miserable little mountain village and one of his aides said something about “this hole.” The general turned on him’ “I would rather be first in this village,” he said, “than reconrt in Rome.” Most of ns know ho*.. oM J. (. felt, because most of ns are not very good. Bnt a really good person never feels that way. Your imitation-good person w ii] take a back seat hoping soon to get his invitation to come np higher, and If he doesn’t get it he win feel very peevish about the whole business. A truly good person will be just as contented with the back seat if there is an abler man in the front seat. Now Barnabas was a good man. and he could take a back seat gracefully, could even do what is most difficult, resign from the front and slip into the rear. He and Paul were the first mis sionary team in Christian his^ry. During the time of their work to gether in the city of Antioch, and at the time the church commis sioned them as missionaries, they are mentioned as “Parnabas and Saul.” But, when they came back from that journey they were “Paul and Barnabas” and so they re mained. Paul was Barnabas* protege, lie pupil, his assistant; and some men would be mightily irritated if their smart young assistants push into first place; hut not Barnabas He had that talent for goodness which includes being glad to play second fiddle to a better musician. • • • He Could See God B ARNABAS had another rare qual ity found in pure goodness: he could see good in others that was not on the surface. When Saul had just been converted everybody in Jerusalem thought he ™as faking; but' Barnabas was the first to take him by the hand and believe in him. When the church at Antioch, an Inter-racial experiment, war worrying the old-line chnrch at Jerusalem, Barnabas was sent np to look the sltnation over. Where others raw only a doubt ful experiment, Barnabas “saw the grace of God and was glad.” Barnabas was the leader who recognized he could not do every thing alone; he was the one who went after Paul and gave him his first real chance to become a Chris tian leader. Later on, when Paul wanted to fire young Mark as a quit ter, Barnabas believed in him— and turned out to b*: right, too.

Perhaps it’s a.sewing circle, a bridge group or a committee. These occasions which come in the afternoon or evening need some thing o f the light re freshment v a- riety. You* 11 want something your friends will rave about, but at the same time, keep it simple and easy to serve. Light desserts are welcome often, and so are tasty but dainty sand wiches or cookies. If these can be made in advance, you're free to de vote the last few minutes before they arrive toward looking your prettiest or giving the house a once over lightly to have everything at its best. If the refreshments are to be served buffet style, with all the ladies going to the dining table or sideboard to help themselves, this can be set in advance. Your pret tiest tea set with attractive platters of cakes, sandwiches or cookies will make for a decorative occasion. A few blossoms or leaves attrac tively arranged can add festivity even to simple tables. If you have a lovely glass bowl, try floating a few flowers in clear water, or place some vines* in a well designed container. • • • Refrigerator cookies can be mixed and chilled several days ahead of time, to be baked on the morning of the day you entertain.
