Rotarians Hosts On Ladies' Night Mental Reserve Power Is Theme of Dr. Ballard at Annual Event Blossoms v made the Marlon hotel a bower of beauty for the annual Rotary ladles night cel ebrated last night. Pots of gay- colored tulips and other spring flowers adorned the tables and branches of cherry blossoms were banked on the posts' overhead. The program of the evening was quite as brilliant as the decora tions. " The address by' Dr. J. Hudson Ballard, of Portland on "Releas ing Our Mental Reserves' proved to be a witty yet Informative pop ular discussion of some import ant facts of psychology. Hal Young of the University of Oregon, dra matic tenor, gave generously of his talent in response to enthus iastic encores. - For an entertainment number Keith Barker, student at the state university, showed unusual skill as a Juggler. During the dinner Guy Albin's orchestra played. William McGllchrist, sr., led the company in group singing. Reserve Power Topic Dr. Ballard's talk dealt with the use of the reserve powers which normally are from 30 to SO per cent of one's resources. Their existence is demonstrated in times of crisis, when undreamed of reservoirs of energy are tapped. When in danger a person will use almost superhuman strength to escape. There is no accretion of power from outside; but the us ual stimulus has released the re serve energies. Where these powers are stored the psychologist and the physi ologist are not sure. It may be, said Dr. Ballard, In the ductless glands, whose' secretions, little known yet, are chemically among the most potent in the body. It may be in the nerve, cells or neu rons, which act like tiny storage batteries. Numbering billions they may when coordinated and stim ulated generate the extra strength displayed in rare circumstances. The true explanation is not that of magic or a miracle; but of the existence of. potential resources within ourselves. By drawing on these reserves ordinary people should be able to rise to higher levels than they considered them selves able to reach. Catholics to Convene PORTLAND. April 20-P-The Most Rev. Edwin V.
