COMMON

ﬂy ALTON L. ILAKESLEE

5'1‘. LOUIS (AP)—“Knocklng on wood" for luck is one of theunost common of 80.000_ superstitions, , psychiatrist said today, and here's W 3 _

it can be a call on magic. a way of handling anxiety or worry, . defence against envy. a sign that emotionally the knocked is pi’r‘li_V immature.

This analysis was presented to me Ameripan Psychiatric Associa- tion by Dr. Judd .Marmor. Univer- my of California at Los Angeles. in . prepared PEPE?-

Knocking on wood apparently “ems from a primitive belief of iii-nicrtive gods inside trees, Dr. lllarmor said. It represents a fear ..r antagonizing some all-seeing iiighrr authority. Many people ap-

i-pntly assume that pride. suc- cess. or self—confidence will create ,ii\y or antagonism by this “auth- nriiy."

TRACKS 01'‘ CHILDHOOD

This apparently traces back to childish fears of offending such authorities as parents or brothers 0|‘ sisters. and‘ to the feeling one niii<i be humble and compliant in iiiricr to be loved.

in our highly competitive so- cl£‘l_\'. “knocking on wood" takes on .-«riditional meanings. We try to nléthl‘ light of our good fortunes iii amid envy by our fellows or riials. .

'.\lany people will discuss inti- male aspects of their sex lives than the details of their financial itrurture. particularly if’ there are any assets which might arouse mi-y," Dr. Marmor said.

Keridel. of Montreal assistant to the Vice-President of o;1el'ﬁLl0n of the Canadian Nation- al Railways, told the New Brun- sum-it accident prevention associa- tion here last night. “Technologi- cal developments and the pressure «-1 rompetition are combining to i.‘\(:‘Pa5€ the speed and precision ni industrial operations," said Mr. K~‘t1fil€. "and it :s up to manage- ment to offset the increased haz- ircis which are created by this i.'ts!Pl‘ pace."

in the introduction of technical iznr-rnvements. he said. it is as i-.m=.ssary to have thoroughly train- Id personnel for accident preven- tion as it is for the efficient op- oration oi’ the apparatus. “Man- irement is giving more attention in lihl‘. problem of "accident phone‘ individuals -— persons who have a history of accident repetition in the home and at work; accidents Lila‘. can often be traced to Job frustrations and diuatlsfactions."

Mr. Kendel said that the basic challenge to the railway is to provide safety for its employees ind the public. and to promote overall efficiency in operations through safe practices.

"rratn crew: and other key om- pioyeu an required to pass strict medical exaininctions periodically." he continued. "Educational work includu the provision of adequate ufoty, rule and other instruc. tion cars. safety rule books. and manuals dealing with maintenance and inspection services.
