EMOTIONAL FACTOR-S IV ILLNESS IN LVDUSTBY

When we think about the indus- ltrial physician. we realize how fortunate that he is PWSPM 0? readily available in case of accid- gnu, However. even more import- ant is the prevention of illness of employees to lessen the amount of absenteenlsm.

we are all learning more of how our emotions may interfere with our general health. and inform- ation regarding the recognition and prevention of what is known as psychoncurosis is becoming available.

In The Ontario Iiledxcai Review. Dr. G. E. Hobbs, Prc-fr.-sor of Clin- ical Preventive Medicine. Univer- sity of Western Omar-.n. states: "The following patient. is familiar to any physician in industry cr in private practice. The l'JZl.:llllll. 25 more often a fcnlaie than a mule. She comes conlplalning not of one symptom but of rnany. The symp- toms usually involve such Ft var- lty of organs that it is impossible to link thom with any nnc specific

disease. Probably the most com- mon symptom is fatigue. This fatigue is more m rked in the

morning and becomes loss during the day. with fatigue. is difficulty in sleeping. putlculariy ;;et.iing to sleep. Because she ls wakcful, 5ll(' worries about the effect of luck of sleep on her hralth. She wakes in the morning more tired than when she went to be: " Many complain of loss of lncnlon -it feeling of thickheadedlless, inability to con- centrate. Other common symptoms are dizziness. Iizhlntiss BCF055 chest, shortness of brcaih. Some- times an extra heal-tbe-at ls pres- ent.

It has been found that these Iymptoms. whose underlying cause is anxiety, stand second only to the common cold as a cause of absenteeism. This anxiety may or may not be conllevtcd with in- dustry itself. that is. it may be -:aused by a critical frlultnnding supervisor or some domestic or fin- sncial problem.

Dr. Hobbs states that the fol- lowing findings are important. in suggesting the dingnosls of psy- shoneurosis.

1. The multiplicity or great number of varied symptoms.

2. Some disturbing incident in the personal life of the individual.

3. The presence of nervous symptoms such as irritability and anxiety, in additivn to symptoms present in any one m-zan.

4. The vague or not clear lang-

You must realize one

single into his thirties indicates an unwillingness to acccpt the responsibilities of marriage-and a determination to con- tinue ignoring them. They are not apt to be good matrlmonially.

THEY FEEL SUPERIOR

The fact that this group is so small numerically makes its mem- bers feel very superior; they expect every woman they meet to fall at their feet and be ready to give in to every whim. Of course. this feeling is furthered by the fact that so many women do exactly what is expected of them. They pmcficully make idols of these bachelors and the eligible mule comes to think himself very important indeed.

In seeking. among men, for the sort of companionship you wish.

and are capable of giving. you have a

task compared to which

Diogem-s' search was a childish game of hide-and-seek. Lowering your

standards certainly is no solution.

You can only continue to hope

someday to find someone who also has high ideals and is content to

he a good friend and pleasant companion.

Men who appreciate these

things do exist, und one of these fine days your paths will cross.

DEAR. MISS i DIX:

I'm in love with nboy in the Navy who doesn't seem to show much affection for me.

I've known him four

months and during that time hnve been the only girl he's taken out. I write to many boys in service. but know that Johnny is the one I

love.

ANSWER: Please give the boy a chance!

M. B. It's quite possible that

Johnny cares for you. but four months is rather short acquaintance to expect a declaration of undying love from him. Besides. he has many

other things to think of;

the Navy keeps its boys busy.

Keep on

writing to the other boys at least until Johnny declares himself.

BILLIE S.

p ANSW-Eff: The correct procedure would be for both couples to go into the living room for the evening. leaving the dishes piled in the

kitchen until the company departs.

While it isn't pleasant to face the

dishes into in the evening. it's much letter than having guests left

alone while the hostess goes into the

In the case of young-marrleds. it sometimes happens that the bus- bands want to go into a huddle over business, and the girls would like

Q. How can I keep leaf-her up- holstery in good condition?

A. Use a. damp rag to wipe off all dirt and dust. then rub with a. cloth that has been dipped into the well-beaten white of an egg. After the egg has dried, rub well with clean cloths.

Q. How can I remove salt from soup or vegetables. when too much salt has been used?

A. Place a cloth over the top of the vessel and let it remain on the stove. The cloth will draw out much of the salt.

Q. How can I wash all paint- ings?

A. Wash them with warm milk and water. Rub very gently. Then dry them without rinsing.

Dies out in beauteous mist. --Walter de la Mare.

Fragrant dark purple Iris is blooming on the sunny window sill: for these Iris here and they are very lovely. The bulbs are inexpensive and there will be more of them next year. They are called the "Violet scented Iris" because of the fra- grance and a few blooms will per- -fume a whole room. The bloom is dark purple with bright orange crest. Florists have grown them for a long time but amateurs have not known them very well.

They come in many varieties. sky-blue. bronzy-violet and reddish purple flowers. and have long been popular in Europe. Canadian gar- deners are just beginning to ap- preciate their charm nncl ease of culture. .

Equally satisfactory in the rock garden or sunny border where they bloom as soon as the snow disap- pears. even before the Crocus. Height is from six to eight inches with narrow grass-like loaves.

A Book 0! Miracles

A seed cnfnlolzue might mosl truly be called "A Book of Mir- acles". Some of us who have spent. a lifetime in the handling of seeds contemplate with awe

. and reverence the miracle of a tiny

seed-the seed which contains within itself the llltra-microscopic genes and chromosomes which guide and direct and control the hereditary development of the va- rirty.

Science tells us that no two plants are ever exactly alike. The parents are not the only ancestors and each seed contains within it- self the varied traits of a long line. of progenitors. .

It is the care and selection. the cross-breeding and llybrldizlng. the clcannlg and testing given to the various strains over ll lonlz slicers- slon of years that has built up the high quality which you expect from every seed house.

A. She most certainly is privi- leged to explain frankly that she has an appointment to keep at a certain time. But she should ex- change a few pleasantrles with her caller and not appear to be rush- ing her away.
