TOWED TO SAFETY . . . With the Manhattan skyline acting a*
a backdrop and the Brooklyn bridge towering above it, the stern
section of the split tanker Fort Mercer, is shown enroute to a
Brooklyn shipyard for replacement of the bow which she lost off
Cape Cod. Thirteen crewmen rode out the winter’s worst storm
aboard this floating section.
Should you always
Answer: Certainly not. Marriage
is perhaps a special case—at least,
for women—but it is wrong to feel
that you never must “put yourself
forward.” In the average conversa
tion, for example, if you wait until
someone says. “What do you
think?” you will simply be left out.
You can be, and many people are,
too eager to attract attention, but
as an adult you cannot always ex
pect someone else to “draw you
out” or “discover” the talents you
may be Hiding. The world is too
busy and most people too much self-
absorbed for this to happen, and to
sit back and wait for it is an evi
dence of childish timidity, if not a
desire to feel abused and neglected.
“wait to be asked”?
slavish dependence upon that of
your neighbors, but only a morbidly
self-centered person can be happy
without some appreciation and
“moral support.” Tell a person
whom you love or who works for
you when he has done something
well, and you will not only please
him but inspire him to do even bet
ter next time.
Do adults need “approval”?
Answer: Just as much as children,
though they may get it from a much
wider range of sources. Unless you
are reassured from time to time
that you amount to something and
that what you do is worth while, you
can scarcely feel that there is any
point in living. If you have grown up
emotionally, the approval of your
conscience will keep you from
Does diet affect “social
adjustment”?
Answer: Yes. In the Journal of
Home Economics, Martha Potgieter
and Viola Everitt tell of a study of
the eating habits of 385 elementary
school children. For seven consecu
tive days each child, with the help
of his teacher and the school nurse,
kept a record of everything that he
ate, and the diets wer6 rated as
“better” and “pooref.” Comparison
with school records showed that chil
dren in the “better diet” group
rated somewhat higher in marks,
health and school attendance and
notably better in “social adjust
ment.” For one thing, a well-adjust
ed child is less apt to compensate
for disappointments and frustra
tions by over-indulgence.
KEEPING HEALTHY
Many Mental Patients Cured Swiftly
By Or. James
Y ears AGO there was such a de-
mand for hospital beds in men
tal institutions that it was estimated
'that within 50 years one half of all
the people in the world would be
needed to look after the other half,
Who would be in need of mental
treatment. Fortunately, with the
•coming of shock treatment—insulin,
nmetrazol and electric—many mental
patients were cured in a short time
«Ad the majority able to returq to
their regular work.
The national association for men
tal health tells us that today “there
is a definite trend upward in the
quantity and quality of care and
treatment for many of the 750,000
patients in the nation’s public men
tal hospitals as well as an increase
in the outpatient psychiatric facili
ties.”
Despite this encouraging note in
the association’s annual report,
mental illness continues to be our
W. Barton
nation’s number one health prob
lem; today there are more' people
in cur mental hospitals than there
are in all other types of hospitals
put together, and mental hospitals
are badly understaffed. In some in
stances the gains made before
World War II have been wiped out
by the draining of hospital person
nel into industry and defense activi
ties.
The report states further that ac
cording to present-day trends, at
least one out of every 10 persons
will need professional psychiatric
care at some time during his life.
What is being done to combat this
increase in the number needing
mental and emotional care? This
association sponsors and helps fi
nance inspection and rating pro
grams for public mental hospitals.
These surveys, conducted by the
American psychiatric association,
promote higher standards.

^ U Should You Always
Of Your
Wait To Be Asked?
MIND
By Lawrence Gould
T HERE were no tinjetables and no
maps on the ship that carried
Paul from Troas to Samothrace and
Neapolis. But even if there had been
maps posted in the
passengers’ cabin,
and even if they had
had the words ASIA
and EURO P E
where they ought to
have been, it is
doubtful whether
Paul or any of his
party woul ’ have
thought that as im
portant as we think
it is.
Fov the Christian religion was now
for the first time, so far as we know,
leaping from the continent of its
birth to the continent where it would
have power for more than a thou
sand years. But Luke, writing Acts,
does not even notice this fact. To
educated people of that day, the
name of the continent of “Europe”
meant little or nothing. It was most
ly populated by barbarians anyway.
The important world of that day
was centered around the Mediter
ranean. Going into Macedonia from
Troas was simply going from one
province of the Roman Empire to
another. Centuries went by before
Christians realized what an epoch-
making step this was.
• • •
*
She Was at Prayer-Meeting
I F there were no maps, there were
no Hotel Red Books, either.
There was no way of wiring ahead
for accommodations. When Paul ar
rived in Philippi, a strange city,
he did not look up the Travelers’ Aid
or the Chamber of Commerce; he
hunted up the nearest prayer-meet
ing.
There he met and converted
the woman named Lydia, the
first European ever to become a
Christian. She is in many ways
a kind of sample of many and
many a Christian after her. For
one thing, she was a business
woman, a seller of purple, that
is, the purple dye which was
so expensive and so much in de
mand in those days.
It is an interesting fact that while
Christianity draws from every level
of society, top to bottom, the first
convert in all Europe was not a
rich man, not a beggar, not a pro
fessional man, not a slave, but an
independent, middle-class business
woman.
• * •
Successful Salesman
C HRISTIANITY has always ap
pealed to salesmen. They do not
pretend to be the greatest people
on earth, but they have always
helped to mak the world go ’round.
One of the most vigorous Chris
tian organizations in America is the
Gideons, made up entirely of travel
ing salesmen. It would be interest
ing to think what it is about the
Christian religion that appeals es
pecially to business people, but we
must pass on.
Lydia, we note, must have been
successful in her purple-dye busi
ness, since she had a home big
enough to entertain the entire mis
sionary party. Able, successful peo
ple, people who can go out against
stiff competition and make good—
the Christian church is well sup
plied with such persons. They have
always been the backbone of the
church.
Then Lydia was also a suc
cessful woman. Some religions,
such as Islam, appeal especially
to men, and leave women out
of the picture except in so far
as they can be useful to men.
Christ, on the contrary, ever since
the earliest days in Galilee has
made an appeal to both men and
women. Indeed, one of the greatest
triumphs of Christianity has been
what it has done for womankind.
If woman’s lot over the world
is better than it was 3,00T years ago,
if women would rather live, if they
had their choice, in Christian lands
than where Christianity has never
taken strong foothold, it is because
of the kind of religion that Chris
tianity is.
0 0 0
Open Heart, Open Home
F urthermore and most im
portant, Lydia devoted what she
had to the service of Christ and his
cause. She set her house at the
disposal of Paul and his missionary
friends, and we can well imagine
that Lydia had a large part in later
years, in sending those parcels to
Paul in prison at Rome. How much
the church owes to hospitable
women! '
A good church Is one into
which the women who are mem
bers carry the same hospitality
that is their habit at home, not
only opening their homes to min
isters, missionaries, Christian
workers, but making the church
itself a home-away-from-home
for the lonely.
Life without a woman’s touen
would be a dreary thing; and so
would a womanless church.

World Population Up
In Postwar Period
Resurgence of births and de
clining mortality in large areas of
the globe have resulted in a spurt
in world population during the
postwar period.
In the United States the annual
excess of births over deaths has
averaged better than 15 per 1.000
population, which is above the
level immediately following World
War I, and about twice the rate
during the depression decade of
the 1930’s.
The trend has been similar in
Canada and New Zealand.
In France, where virtually no
population gains had been made
! for a century, and where as re-
j cently as 1940-1944 deaths exceed
ed births, the rate of natural in
crease has averaged better than 7
per 1,000 each year since 1946. In
Ireland, which had been losing
population for a century, the ex
cess of births over deaths has been
somewhat more than 8 per 1.00C
during the past six years.
