AN EXCITING NEW CAREER
'■■■■ 4"i
$%■< «
Joy Sorlie looks relaxed and comfortable, but she’s not reading a pocket thriller. She is studying
occupational therapy textbook called. "‘Correlative Neuroanatomy.”
Occupational Therapy Offers Young People Much
Variety and a Great Chance for Helping Others
In this dynamic world of advanc
ing science, advancing industry
and advancing medicine, pne of the
most interesting professional deve
lopments has been .the variety of
new anv-. important careers offered
to young men and women. These
careers have grown directly out of
the needs of the times, like the one
embarked on by Joy Sorlie, pretty
young University of Southern Cal
ifornia girl, reported in the cur-
tent issue of Pageant Magazine.
New-Old Profession
Joy, now a senior at the Univer
sity, is training to be an occupa
tional therapist, one of the most ex
citing and needed of the new profes
sions. “New” is somev/hat of a mis
nomer.' It is really one of the old
est professions in the world—the
science of helping both physically
and mentally handicapped persons
by teaching them to help them
selves. But modem recogrfition of
the sound psychological principles
underlying this technique, as well
as the great demand for occupa
tional therapists, has given it new
formal ' ' mition as an important
part oi medical rehabilitation
team. 1. 1 occupational therapy
groups arc active all over the coun
try aiding young people to get
established in this career.
Since Joy’s work will be to show
her patients how they may help
themselves by “doing” a great
variety of things, she must neces
sarily become a “Jill of many
trades” though not necessarily a
master of any. In her course of
studies, she familiarized herself
not only with anatomy and physio
logy and activities of daily living,
but with modem dancing, wood
working, pottery making, leather
tooling and other handicrafts, as
well as a knowledge of psychology
and the field of psychiatry.
Clinical Training
Much of these techniques Joy
has learned in her formal 4-year
college courses. Others must come
through experience, through actual
working with patients. Therefore,
at the completion of her college
course and before becoming a regis
tered occupational therapist, Joy
will have nine to twelve months
clinical training in a hospital or
rehabilitation center.
Though the underlying principle
of occupational therapy treatment
is activity, the value of doing a
thing for its own sake, Joy will
whenever necessary teach pre-
vocational skills which her patient
may subsequently use to earn a
living. For this reason, Joy must
have a professional knowledge of
these arts and handicrafts.'
But it must be remembered that
Joy will be primarily a member of
the medical team, which today in
cludes a number of ancillary serv
ices in addition to* doctors and
nurses. The occupational therapist
works with the doctor and by his
prescription. In order to do this,
Joy must know at each step what
her physically or mentally handi
capped patient is able to do, both
at the start of treatment and during
the course of recovery.
Occupational therapists must
also know what specific bones,
muscles, tendons and organs are
called into use, and in what man
ner, in order to perform every
single bodily movement. Joy stu
dies these skeletal movements in a
new science called kinesiology with
the aid of Oscar, the class skeleton.
On Her Own
When Joy has completed her
clinical training period and passed
her examinations to become a reg
istered occupational therapist, she
will be assigned patients and be on
her own. One patient may need
treatment for polio, another for
heart disease or cerebral palsy, or
another for war wounds. Perhaps
he will be willing just to lie there,
feeling sorry for himself.
Then begins Joy’s first and often
toughest job—to win his confidence
and respect and make him want
to do things with his hands and his
legs and his mind. For this is the
road to health through occupa
tional therapy.

Parks played host to more than
three million visitors, according to
State Park Director C. West Ja-
cocks.
Picnicking and swimming were

/ or longer periods at reduced rates.
These reduced rates apply from

Correct Lifting
Habits Important
On Farm Jobs
Since there are many Uiand-
lifting jobs on every farm, correct
lifting should be practiced until it
becomes a habit. County Agent
P. B. Ezell says that victims of
sprains, strains, hernias, and
other lifting injuries are far too
numerous on the farm.
He points out that according to
the National Safety Council the
most common causes of lifting in
juries are as follows: Lifting and
lowering with the back muscles
instead of the leg muscles; in
secure grip or footing and unsafe
placing of hands or feet; using
quick, jerking, twisting, or awk
ward movements of the body; ob
structed vision; unstable loads or
inadequate control; and insuffici
ent help or failure to use mechani
cal aids.
The body is a mechanical sys
tem of levers and hinges, activat
ed'by cable just like machines.
When the system is overloaded or
used improperly, injuries are in
vited.
Most people unconsciously bend
at the waist when reaching down
to grasp an object. Lifting in this
position places a severe strain on
the sensitive back and abdominal
muscles. When a person squats or
bends at the knees and keeps the
back as upright as possible, the
powerful leg and thigh muscles
do the lifting without excessive
strain.

Timber Farming
Aids Farm Income
Clemson, Sept. 12. Timber
should be thought of as a crop
and should be farmed the same as
born, cotton, tobacco, or other
field crops. S. A. Marbut, Clem
son extension forester, says that
good farming of woodlands means
more money to add to the farm
income.
He suggests that as soon as the
fall harvest season for corn, cot
ton, tobacco and other field crops
is over, flamers should begin to
plan for the jobs to be done in
caring for the timber crop. He
points out that trained foresters
are available to help farmers in
making plans for their wooded
areas.
“These foresters will walk over
the woodlands with the owner and
make recommendations on such
things as the selection of areas
where thinning for pulpwood is
advisable, selection of trees for
sawtimber and the selection of
areas suitable for planting pine
seedlings,'’ he states. “They will
also help owners plan for the loca
tion and construction of fire
breaks.
“All of the above, or perhaps
only one of them, may be needed
for the given farm. In any case,
good timber management is a
must to get the most from the
farm timber crop,” he adds.
Assistance in the care and man
agement of the farm forest is a
free service, and those desiring
the assistance should contact
county agents of the Extension
Service or district foresters of the
State Commission of Forestery.
