Heppner, Ore., Gazette-Times, Thursday, Nov. 21, 1974 What's in handwriting? By MARGARET McNAIR Handwriting Analyst Does handwriting show talent? Yes. Handwriting also re veals whether one has traits of character that can be used in building a successfully, happy life. Talent is not essential for building a happy, successful life, but talent alone is not enough. Does handwriting reveal a person's age or sex? No. Handwriting is "brain writing." It is not a reflection of one's years or gender. Some handwriting may look quite 1 mature, yet belong to a child. Another handwriting may seem to be immature, yet may be written by a middle-aged person. Some women write with the "aggressive" man's script. Some men write with graceful flourishes and deli cate formations one usually thinks of in feminine terms. Does handwriting start re vealing something of a per son's character and personal ity just as soon as he's old enough to attempt writing? Yes. The scribblings of a very small child, done with a pencil or crayon, will yield some of the facts immediate ly. A handwriting analyst can get just as much as the child puts on paper that is a result of the child's mental habits. Handwriting analysis dis covers mental growth, for handwriting is "brain writ ing." The following handwriting sample is that of a Morrow County youngster. Scholarships must be applied for by Dec. 1 A rti factory boosts local arts, crafts This handwriting shows un mistakable talent for building, creating with the hands. It indicates precision, a liking for detail work plus a liking to do a job well. Add to the creative or engineering ability a searching intelligence and talent is the inevitable result. The writer is ruled to a great extent by the emotions, so achievement could be spas modic. Yet, the willpower is strong, and the writer is already looking into the future and has positive hopes and purposes far beyond the immediate moment. Three levels of scholarships are offered by the Soroptimist Federations of the Americas, . Inc., to young people and adult women. Applications may be obtain ed from Daisy Collins (676 9947 or 676-9441) before Dec. 1 so that selections may be made of local winners and their names sent along for further awards in the north western region and nationally.

Applications state that these awards are "for part-time or full-time non academic or entry or re-entry schooling." Soroptimists are excluded. Two $1,000 awards will be given in the north western region. There is also a national training award given to the outstanding regional winner.
