By the time my nerves had got ten to th-‘ point that 1 knew the neighbors were ready ti s'leam too, 1 chased off the dogs and Kuthie came back inside. Now it was quiet again and I was thankful. Back at my type writer I had just started a sent ence when suddenly there came to my ear, loud and clear, the story of “Ringo. ’ ell, this won’t last long, I thought, and it didn’t. Things were quiet again, but not for long; the child who usually can NEVER find time to get in her piano practice decided that this was the time to go over every piece she had learned and a few ones she hadn't. Not one to dis courage a budding pianist, I kept my silence and was thankful tnat she was interested enough, for once, to practice on her own. But her sister, concentrating on that extremely difficult sixth grade science, wasn't so thankful about all the noise, and the fireworks started. Ruthie agreed to stop with the practicing and headed for the book shelf which she soon emptied in a heap on the bed. Now there will be quiet for a while, I thought, and hack to work I went—for about two minutes when in she bounced and turned on the TV set. Didn’t I know it was time for “Leave it to Beaver”? No, I didn’t know. But at least she was out of Connie’s hair and I was thankful for that. It only- stays on half an hour, 1 thought. 1 was right. But didn’t 1 know that was followed by Monty’s Rascals and then by Wells Fargo or some thing ? No, I didn’t know. This column, started shortly al ter three on Monday afternoon is being concluded at out noon of Tuesday which this week happens to be press day. What have I to be thankful for? That I have two happy, healthy girls who at times nearly drive their mother out of her wits, but who, on the whole, are children of which any mother could be proud _ . . and for which any mother could be thankful. MORE DISCIPLINE More and more people who study the situation are becoming con vinced that all the younger gene ration needs is more discipline, and less permissiveness. This thought was brought out by Dr. C. II. Thigpen, Chief of Psychiatric ser vice at the Medical College of Georgia, during a speech last week at the convention of the Georgia Association of School Counselors. You may recognize Dr. Thig pen’s name as co-author of the best seller of a few years ago, '‘The Three Faces of Eve”. As 1 recall, Joanne Woodward won an Academy award for her portrayal of “Eve” in the motion picture. Dr. Thigpen showed movies he had made of the original Eve. The book was based on a case history of a young lady with a multiple personality. At times she was Eve White, then would revert to Eve ■Black, then to a character known as Jane. The doctor said the book really should have been entitled the “Four Faces of Eve” — the fourth being the young lady after an apparent cure. Dr. Thigpen used the illustra tion of Eve to point out how little psychiatrists really know about the human mind, and said there were times when he was sorry he had written the book for it led many people to believe there was a cure for any type of mental illness. They seem to think, said the doc tor, that all was needed was for a person to sit down with a .psychia trist and “talk it over.” To show what a misconception that was, Dr. Thigpen pointed out that in the case of Eve, he had treated her over a period of three years. “If I had charged her the usual fee charged by psychiarists,” he said, “it would have amounted to $20,- 000 or $25,000 for the treatment.” Even at that, he said, they could not be sure that she would remain cured. qi.-cipline ana autiiority lh*■ hnmc and in the net-n to know wiia; t said, and wnatt vto ,s tiireat or mwarn sfnnU rit-n out consilient iv. 1 tiiat the number of youne p< ru-edmg p>ychiatr:<- rare wa- creasing steadily and wnile he not openly advocate corporal pun ishment, he said ‘There are times when a spanking may do the job that nothing else will do." As an aside, he remarked “if there are any reporters in the audience, please don’t print that Dr. Thig pen beats his children!" Another point, made b\ Dr. Thigpen was that children should be taught, from the time they learn to talk, to say “yes, sir” and “yes, ma’am." This teaches them courtesy and respect, the psychiatrist said. I don’t recall whether he added it, but 1 will; there is an intolerable amount of di.-respect ami impoliteness among children of today. The part of Dr. Thigpen's talk which impressed his amkenee more than anything else was his ready admission that psychiatrists had a lot of learning but little know ledge. While it was true, he said, that advances had been made in treating certain types of mental and emotional illnesses, the field of mental health was one in which there was far more not known than is known. Ho chided psy chiatrists who claim to be know- it-alls. He quoted, as an example, a group of psychiatrists who sought to be appointed as advis ors to the United Nations to solve the problems of the wend. To Dr. Thigpen, this was i idiculous. I’m sure he would also have categorized as ridiculous the psy chiatrists who pronounced Gener al Edwin Walker as being mentally ill, even though they had never seen him; and that group of “head-shrinkers” some where up north who made .. pronouncement that Barry (Joldwater wa.- mental ly unstable, though not a one of them had ever examined him. No wonder there is such doubt on the part of the ordinary citizen about the field of psychiatry!

Wiley discusses subsidies at Kiwanis club meeting The proud young men with the bicycles in the picture above are residents of Boys Farm and their happiness is evident as they try out their “new” bicycles. The bikes, which had been most ly in pieces, were placed in good order by men of the 72nd Air Traffic Company at Fort Benning, Ga., while the company was sta tioned in the county during Air Assault maneuvers just completed. Major Richard A. Humes, com manding officer of the company, was told about the Farm while his group was stationed here. He and some of his men went out to see the Boys Farm operators, Rev. and Mrs. W. D. Shealy, to see if they- could be of assistance—and they certainly could. From that time until orders came for them to leave last week, the soldiers spent much of their spare time at the Farm, helping with chores around the place and, most im portant, placing the bicycles back into usable form for the boys. There are now 17 boys at the Farm, and 12 bicycles, so most of those old enough to ride will have the use of his own two-wheeler. Rev. and Mrs. Shealy were high in their praise of the young men of the 72nd Air Traffic Company. (Photo by Nichols.)

Their old home on College street will be razed to make way for the new post office building. Dr. W. H. Wiley of Clemson University- chose the controversial subject of subsidies when he spoke to members and guests of the Ki wanis Club Thursday. The occa sion was opening of Farm-City Week in this county. Dr. Wiley is dean of agriculture at Clemson, and is sei-ving at state chairman of Farm-City Week. Warien Cousins, local chairman, introduc ed the speaker. Empnasizing that he was taking no stand on the issue, Dr. Wiley- said his only purpose was to give facts about subsidies, and “to show you . . . that farmers are not a group of lazy no gooders who are living at our expense, nor are farmers the only ones who receive subsid es.” Dr. Wiley traced subsidies back as early as 1798 when legislation was enacted similar to the mari time subsidies of today. He also mentioned postal subsidies, land grant subsidies, transportation subsidies. Dr. Wiley mentioned as subsi dies, or subsidy-like programs, the Post Office department, ship building difierential subsidy, land grants and cash contributions for railroad construction, partial fin ancing of plants to generate elec tricity from atoms, protective tar iffs, irrigation and flood control, housing loa, to veterans. “It is not realistic to either con demn or to pi aise government sub sidies,’ ’the speaker said. “Each has to he reviewed in its own light. Each particular program should he judged independently- in its own proper context, with its own net result and its long range purpose in mind.” Answering his own question, “where do we go from here?” Dr. Wiley said a number of facts seem to be clear: Federal programs aiding partic ular groups or individuals should be constantly reevaluated in the light of changing circumstances. Subsidy programs should be so contrived as to eliminate the nec essity for their continuation. Subsidies have played a vital role in the development and main tenance of the country, and could not he abolished as a whole. Subsidy programs are so highly diverse that it is unrealistic to either condemn or to praise them as such. Each program should be judged on its own merits, in a proper context. Kiwani.s President J. V. Kneece presided at the luncheon and in troduced special guests. Tom Bryson, assistant county agent, in troduced guests of Kiwanis mem bers. Most of the guests were farmers, or in farm-connected businesses. Essay contestants are feted at luncheon SPECIAL PROGRAM TO BE BROADCAST A special Thanksgiving Christ ian Science program will be broad cast over Radio Station WKDK at 6:45 P.M. Wednesday, November 25. The public is invited to listen. VISITS IN FLORIDA Mrs. C. A. Reeder spent the weekend in Jacksonville, Florida with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Davis and familv. Almost 75 11th and 12th grade English students of county- High schools heard an inspiring talk Monday by Dr. Robert C. Farb as the 17th annual essay contest on hiring the handicapped began un der sponsorship of the local NEPH committee. The students, who will partici pate in the contest, were guests at a chicken barbecue luncheon at the Community Hall. Also attend ing were English teachers and school principals from Newberry, Whitmire and Mid-Carolina High schools, and other school offi cials; presidents of organizations underwriting the luncheon, and several out-of-town guests. Dr. Farb, vice-president and di rector of development for New berry College, was introduced by Ollie Moye, member of the county NEPH committee. The speaker pointed out that about one-tenth of the population of the country was physically or mentally handicapped. Some, he said, were not capable of being rehabilitated, but most could, with help, be made capable of engaging in gainful employment. He challenged the students to do a thorough job of research before beginning their essays, on the subject “How the Handicapped are overcoming the Employment Barrier in our Community.” He suggested that they have inter views with employment service and rehabilitation service repre sentatives, welfare department of ficials, personnel managers of firms employing large numbers of people. He urged that handicapp ed persons who had overcome their handicap and were gainfully- em ployed be interviewed so the essay- writer could get first-hand in formation or. which to base his paper. Presiding at the luncheon was James F. Coggins, chairman of the county NEPH committee. Or ganizations underwriting the luncheon were Kiwanis, Jaycees, Civitan, County Home Demonstra tion Council, American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Civic League, Business and Professional Women’s Club, Lions and Ex change Clubs, all of Newberry.
