rnaarltmivr or UNSOCIAI. 1 BEHAVIOR .

I As I was born directly opposite a,

large mental hospital, or asylum as‘, we called it in those days, I havel been interested in watching the; methods of treating the mentally ill all my life.

What ls now called occupatlomlj

therapy was practised in those early , days; a number of the patients went, lo work daily on the largo farm ad-l joining the buildings where tile)" lived and received treatment. It is‘, ' a. known and logical fact that any- ,body using his mind land body) in‘ constructive work has just that much less time in which to be‘ “thinking inwardly" about hi-iiiscli‘ and allowing these thoughts. urisoc- lal thoughts, to influence his every- day life.

Mental specialists state that we all have ‘powerful physical, mental and emolional impulses within us at birth, which cause no disturbance in infancy. But. as we grow older‘, these impulses must. be repressed by our parents and teachers. As We go about in our daily affairs as children 1 in the home, school and play-l grounds we have to repress some of, these physical, mental and emotion‘ al processes because they do not‘ work in satisfactorily with the "proper" way, in our behavior with or to others. If We allow our im- pulses to drive us through these proper represions we are called iin- soclal, and need menial and emo- tional treatment.

We can thus seo that “conitllct." fighting against the natural or pro-l per repressions which should be. guiding our behavior, is the under- , lying cause of most disturbance.

Inner conflicts interfere with eat- ing, sleeping and proper contacts with others. This creates anxiety. To get away from this anxiety. many individuals make out their own pat- ‘, tern of life. think it the proper pat- l tern and think those living normal

of these cases consists of having a mental specialist, a psychiatrist. ex- plain that the underlying conflict is causing their unsocial behavior. This often rids the mind of its con- flict, and mental health returns.

And u slwuyl. we much w- joyed tho outing to the city yu- terday, with James. Our buymgs which depend on time and cir- cumstanccs. were curtailed by other factors as well. Though ht: is one inclined to hasten us at our personal selections, he 15 never too hurried to stop to _ad- mire a small lass who reminds him of granddaughter. or a lad alike in size to one or the other of Karolyns. We saw these eyes aglcaiii at toy counters, looking fancied article of purchase, and wondering we supposed, if a kindly Santa should see his way clcar to leave the like in their stockings on Chrlstmai evc.

James will query after shc has had an excursion thither "what did you scc in town today?" and be well pleased with her rcply: "I saw two horses —- one very black. and one the color of your own

mare!" Arid this mornirgt, when she, with a dog on leash, was along iihe lane with us on our

way to ihc mailbox at lanes end. “Isn't it nice that you have a lit- tle girl like mo. to come with you on walks like this?" Then after a silence “This is my horse —don't you see how he bobs his head up and down when he walks?" She chuckled when a funny thought came to her. "Guess we'll have to buy a bridle for him — and a bit for his mouth!" But notwithstand- ing this apparent bent, and with Christmas in mind, we bought her a doll yesterday. Not a gor- geous lady, lovely as they are, to be put on a shelf, but one she can play with to her heart's con- tent to dress and undress. to rock in loving arms, that will not suf- fer too much if left out in sum- mer dcws or rain, as her pre- decessors have been. and in time to take the place of the faded small blanket, tightly. rolled, she stil-l must have with her when night calls her off to rest. I I I ' This, November's last day smiled benignly on famners‘ endeavours —on the plowing at Rob's, at which James‘ assisted; on ‘the shipping ntf a great truckload of potatoes from the house on the hill; on grists to the mill and feed to the barns.

DOROTHY DIX SAQAYS -

Runaway

Dissatisfied Girl, Mother. Present Two Sides Of Case I

DEAR MISS DIX: My llfc at homo has been vory miserable and I have decided to run away. I am 16 years old.

PLAIN REDS I also have a letter from this girl's mother in which she says that she is broken-hearted over her daughter being so dissatisfied that she is thinking of running away ‘and she doesn't know why this should be the case because both she and the girl's father love her dearly and have made many sacrifices to give her every advantage that they possibly could. But the girl won't study at school. She won't help with the housework. She won't do any- thing but mope and pity herself. and the poor dis- tracted mother doesn't know what to do about it.

ANSWER: I would say to the mother not to worry herself sick by taking the situation tragically. Laugh it off if she can, If not at least ignore it. For what riils the girl is that she is 16. It is a very com- mon thing foi- adolescent girls to be morbid and to dramatize themselves as figures of woe.

NEEDS AN AUDIENCE

Now these morbid girls are bound to have an audience. So the best home remedy ls lust not to observe their hysterics. There is no encouragement in going on a hunger fast if no one comments on your lack of appetite. There is no thrill in threatening to run away from home if instead of mother besecching you with tears not to leave she remarks that perhaps a change would do you good.

To the girl I would say: Don't be a little nitwit. Wake up and try to see yourself as you are and then you will realize that your un- happiness is not the result of your surroundings, but comes from your secret sense of failure in not having taken advantage of the oppor- tunities of education that your parents have given you. It is your conscience pricking you that makes you miserable.

Everybody is miserable who is lazy and self-centered. Your par- ents have made every sacrifice to scnd you to school und you won't study. You won't help your mother with the Work and bear your share of tlie family burdens, and so you know you are a quittcr. 'l‘liat is what hurts. But you are too much of a coward to take your punishment, so you blame other ncople for it. Just realize that and (ace about. Study hard at school. Be mother's little helper. And you will find that you are happy instead of miserable, and that there is no place like home, sweet home.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a young man in my early 20's and rim taking a medical course. I am wholly dependent financially upon my father. I have six more yeiirs to go to school. I am engaged tn a girl whom I zidore. My father advises me to give her up and continue my education, but my friends advise me to marry now wliilc we are deeply in love with each other. What do you think? P

ANSWER: I think your father's advice ls wisest, because I feel very sure that if you sacrificed your career in order to marry the girl you would bitterly regret it in after years. while on the other hand, if you and the girl really love each other, your affection will survive the ordeal of waiting until you are in a position to marry. But you are wise not to be engaged all of that time and to put the thought of marrying entirely out of your head for the present. Nothing could distract your attention from your studies more than n long engagement. Besides, you have no idea whether she will be the kind of girl you will \vant for a wife in six years.

Nor would you want to keep the girl bound 1o you with the un- certainty of whether she would come up to your ideal when you are ready to marry. It ls best for both of you that you should be free, with the understanding that if you ever want to take the subject up again you can do it.

But one thing I urge on you. Don't marry and lay the burden of your wife's support on your father's shoulders, That ls as sel- fish and ungrateful a thing a; a child can do.

DEAR. MISS DIX: My husband and I are always having trouble over the house and furniture. He wants everything to please him and nothing to please me. If I move a table he fusses until It is moved back into the same old place. I am a good housekeeper and take a lot of pride in my home, hut I get so disgusted that I think I will never do another thing. What do you advise?

WIFE

ANSWER: I advise your husband to keep his fingers out of your pie. A woman lives in the house all tho time. A man is in it merely to eat and sleep. So it ll far more important that she should have things ln it to please her than it is for him to have things to please him.

Timely Notes On Nutrition l

By ltllrlorie G. Hill

LET‘! TALK FOOD M0151.

Every day we are getting more involved with Old Man Winter.

That means that every day more children are finding it too diffic- ult to walk the long road home from school at noon time, so they take a lunch to school instead of coming home for n. gnod hot din- ner. when this happens, the are old question of. "whnt tn put in Johnnies lunch can." will arise again and again in mother's mind. The children will not be of much help in making suggestions but they will cry—“Do not neglect my food just because I cannot come homo to dinner”! For, you see, they are all members of Junior Red Cross and to become a member they have to practise as well as learn thg food rules. These rules arc five in number and they go like this:

Eat these foods every day.

l. Milk- adults, 1-2 to l pint.‘

2. Fruit - one serving of oranges. or grapefruit or tcmatoes, or their juices, and one serving of other fruit. such as apples. prunes. bana- anas, etc.

3. Vegetables - At least one serv- ing or potatoes; at least two serv- ings of other vegetables - such as cabbage and carrots; peas and beets; turnips and swiss chard but. note one of these is always grecn; und quite frequently one is raw.

4, cereals and Bread - porridge or some other whole grain cereal, and rt least {our slices of \\'ll0lc wheat brown, or white bread with butter. You can always spot a whole ivlicnt cereal or bread because it has a brown color.

5. Meat and IFish - One serving of meat, fish, poultry or if you have not any of these use a meat alter- nate such as beans. peas. eggs, and nuts or cheese, In any case use tggs and cheese at least three times a week ouch, and do use livcr fre- quently - it is a good insurance against anemimDo not forget too that Cod Liver Oil is a sure source of Vitamin D, and should be giv- en to children and expectant mothers - in fact it would not he amiss for us all to indulge in it during the winter months when a sunshine is limited.

If Johnny ls going to abide by all these rules, that is, cat all tho foods listed above and ili the corr- cct amounts, he cannot skimp on lunch. His lunch box should be more than a mid-day snack; it should be a mid-day meal, other- wise his hcalth as well as his pro- gress and interest in school will bo affected. What foods then, com- prise u. good luntli? The answer is. fit least one fond from each group It could sound something like this. A raw carrot, peanut butter sand- wiches on brown bread, an apple. cookies and milk. Or - egg sand- wiches on brown bread, cookies, raw prunes, and milk. Or again. meat sandwiches, turnip sticks, rin orange, and milk.
