This James asked with I smile when dusk returueii him to us from the hiih and valleys of homo . . . Over the width of Mr. B's farm which lies between this one and Alderlea. we can now see tokens of that place-the young cattle at range on the pasture. These are the younger of them. those intended for next year's feeding and certain ones of the heifers destined to swell the ranks of our milking herd. - Today it so happened that the farmers were taken up with an in- triguing angle oi the farming. At last. that season in which they choose to market the beef cattle has dawned. Not that we have so many of these. nor. we suspect, is I their "lair-good quality rare. At the same time their disposal is a mat- ter of more than passing interest to us on the farm. The time of sale comes gradual- ly and not without due prepara- tion. one is aware of its approach by James' prolonged absence at the evening .choring . . . towards spring, when the keen edge of winter is dulling. And when at length he comes in. it is to return quickly to the outdoors with the surprised comment: "I guess I've picked up a few -hairs on my clothesi" And we know he has been enjoying a spell oi cleaning the lat cattle, preparing them for the day oi their sale. And sometimes, ideal-or may- be over-indulgent parent that he is. after an extended absence at Rob's, he may offer with a glance at the clock: "I had no idea it was so lste-I guess I sort of over- stayedl Ispent a while in the stable. He has some very good cattle -yes they've done well. But the fellows so busy. I stopped to give them a good cleaning before I came away." How do our farmers decide upon the ripe season for selling? This is s mystery the housewives do not attempt to solve. For sometimes it happens suddenly with the ar- rival oi a buyers car in the yard. before they have ever taken up field work. Or it may come in the heat of it. as today, when every energy is being bent towards the preparation of the land for the seeding-with Rob at the cultivat- ing here. And James . . . well, as he later described it. he "was busy with the mare and cart. haul- ing manure from that box-stall to the fellows finishing ends oi spreading in the field" at Alderlea, when a dealer came by. Has this day used us well? Ay. beyond our deserts, we recall.

(move TREATMENT OF MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DISTUEBANCES During World War I, medical officers made a complete examina- tion oi the recruit and, unless some physical defect. was found, he was accepted for service. Be- cause there was no mental or emotional test. a large percentage of these recruits developed emo- tional disturbances, the common- est one being peptic ulcer (ulcer oi the stomach and first part of the small intestine). Fortunately, in World War II examination of the recruits nerv- ous ond emotional condition was carefully made. but still the num- ber who developed peptic ulcers. colitis (chronic diarrhea) and pho- bias (fears) was large. It is dif- ficult for any of us to be suddenly removed from family, from our regular routine as to food, sleep and exercise, and not be affected to some extent. so large was the number which developed nervous and emotional disturbances before, during and after war experiences that psychiatrists were unable to examine the patients one at a time and so group treatment of these cases became necessary. In the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, New York, Dr. D. M. Kelley reports the technique or method that was worked out and used in treatment oi 7,000 soldiers with neuroses brought on by war- fare during World War II. In World War I many of these patients were retumed to base hospitals or returned to their homes and were discharged. In World War II this type oi patient was not taken too far away from actual combat. but found himself with others with the same symp- toms who. after reassurance and explanation of cause oi their symptoms, returned to combat duty in a matter oi a few weeks. The first aim of this new meth- od oi treatment is to give the pn- tlent a simplified understanding oi peychophysiology (how the emc- tlons affect and interfere with the natural working processes of the body). The second aim is the develop- ment of group enthusiasm. In the group the individual finds that his nyu, are not unusual, but common. As the individual at- taches hlmself to the group. his individual self-centered symptoms become lost in the group and he gets so used to them that they lose their effect. Often one pa- tient's telling the group how much he has improved promotes a gen- eral feellng oi well-being. Finally. the patient discovers that his emotional tensions are not necessarily abnormal. He also discovers that he must do some- thing about the situation and cannot sit back and expect a psychiatrist to wave a magic wand and produce a cure. ' HowCenIlll By Anne Ashley i7” Q.

He has buddies who've received "Dear John" letters and he doesn't want it to happen to him. 0! course it wouldn't! I really care for him and don't in the least mind waiting. Since my feelings for him haven't changed in ten years. I doubt if they will now. He won't commit himself to an engagement while he's in service, and I am perfectly willing to be either engaged or married to him now. How can I convince him of that? ROSEMARY B. ANSWER: You are apparently .so unconvinc- ing. even to yourself, that I doubt if you can make Dick commll: himself to anything on the basis oi your feelings. You say you're not thrlllingly in love, then proceed to describe your emotions in terms of ecstatic en- dearment. The crying for days. losing sleep. not eating routine cer- tainly lndicsies an emotional upheaval that belies your description of a merely contented feeling. ARE YOU VAClI.I.ATINGi' Muriel Nissan Are you that vncillailng with Dick? Perhaps you gave him a wrong picture of your feelings, in which case he can scarcely be blamed for not wanting to commit himself to s permanent arrange- ment. He sounds like a very sensible young man. and for the time being. at least, you'll do well to accept his decision. You are apparently quite young. so I gather the ten-year period of friendship goes back to childhood. Are you sure you aren't just taking him for granied. and trying to attribute permanence to s re- lationshlp that is aclually no more than deep friendship? You say nothing of his feelings for you. Have you reason to believe that he loves you. or is he, too, clinging to a strong companionship disguising Itself as love? Dick's nhsence will be a good opportunity for you both to eval- uate your emotions and learn just how deep they are. If it's true love with bnih oi you. an eighteen-month wait won't hurt. If the ntiachment is less slrong. time will clarify the situation, giving you both better understanding and judgment DEAR MISS DIX: For the past six months I've worked in an office with a married woman about 55. From the beginning she seems to have had something against me. I made the mistake oi answering her personal questions. so she has learned more about my private life than was wise. There is nothing in my home life that isn't above reproach. but she says I was too strictly brought up and am too righteous. She has told false tales against me but. since I have a clear conscience, I ignore them. This is a very nice place to work and I don't like to give up a good job because oi s lroublemsker. Other girls here have had sim- ilar experiences with her. but she seems to pick on me more than anyone else. Do you think I should leave? ETHEL R. ANSWER: I agree that there's no reason why you should let a troublemaker turn you out oi a good job. Perhaps understanding her motives may enable you to put up with the situation and fight it through.

She is actual- ly much more to be pitled than blamed, but it is certainly difficult to be sorry for someone who is carrying on such a battle of persecution against you. If you have the courage and grit to see the problem through. go to it. if you continue to ignore the falsehoods, the sly remarks, the petty annoyances, they will stop with time. You might make some headway by discussing the mailer with the head of your personnel department. or some other person in authority. but this is a drastic and possibly unrewsrdlng procedure that is not recommended unless the situation becomes completely in- tolerable.
