Willow (next to City Hall) Heppner ; Getting in touch with real feelings By TERRY D. IIIRNI. At'SW One of the most frequent Incidents found not only in families but in working with individuals or with marital couples is the denial of feelings. A person simply denies to himself and to others that he feels a certain way. Feelings are gut level responses to certain situations or comments, such as sorrow, anger, happiness, love, and frustration. If a person is torn between two opposite feelings, such as love and hate, he is ambivalent about his feelings. A person may deny his feelings for several reasons: (a) the feeling is too threatening to himself; (b) he may fear the feeling will be too threatening to another person; and c) he may think its not right to feel a certain way. In the case where the feeling is too threatening to the person having the feeling, this individual may have been taught that it is wrong to have certain feelings. If this is the situation and the person was taught that it is wrong to feel hale, he may try to deny to himself and others that he has this feeling. An example of this is a child who hates his mother for doing something the child does not like. The first response of this child will probably be anger, but it is rapidly denied and may quickly change to the opposite feeling, love. This transformation from being angry to suddenly hugging his mother may only lake ten to fifteen seconds. Hence, what this child has done is stored up his hostility and when enough of the anger is retained, it will come breaking loose in an uncontrolled way, In the example Just given, the child may take his hostility out on others in a destructive way. such as shoplifting, vandalism, etc. A usual comment of the parents is, "I don't understand why Johnny did that, he's so loving all the time around the house!" In this situation when the family comes in for therapy, the parents have a hard time understanding what has happned to Johnny, when he suddenly starts verbalizing his anger in the therapy session. Quite often, parents get understandably upset at the therapist, because the parents have never seen the anger before and relate the anger to the therapist. In actuality, however, the anger was already stored up inside the child, and the therapist has simply helped the child come in contact with his feelings and then express them in constructive ways. This incident frequently occurs in marital counseling too. The second reason for a person to deny his feelings, the lear that his feelings will be loo threatening to the other person if he expresses them, there Is a protecting factor and a grandiose factor working An individual member of the family may think that if he expresses his feelings, it will destroy the person at whom the expression js directed. If leeling's are expressed in destructive, vicious, ways, it may in fact destroy the person; but there are constructive ways to express feelings Notice the difference between these two wax 1 "You stupid, incompetent, ignorant, boorish. S (i B " i2i "When you do that it makes me very angry." The first example is a personal attack on the individual as if because that person "makes me angry" I'm going to destroy him Isually the first example is used by people who are quite insecure and feel their only way to survive is to destroy the other oerson. In the second example, the individual has expressed his anger and may slate why the incident or response caused him to become angry. There is not a personal attack on the other individual as a whole, only an expression of how a person felt when something w as done or said to him Again, this fair fighting is not only useful in family therapy but also is very Important in marital counseling A common example of someone fearing to express feelings out of fear of destroying or hurting the other person is in the area of sexual relations between husband and wife Often because feelings are not expressed, one or both partners may be unsatisfied sexually for years This unexpressed frustration may come out in uncontrolled was. such as unwarranted hostility towards the children, or an overprotectivencss toward the children. This is why a detailed ps chosocial history is taken by the therapist during the first few sessions. Every interaction between family memtiers plays a part in the family relationship as a whole. The third reason for a person to deny his feelings-is. the person may think it is not right to feel a certain way-a control which was placed on an individual by another indiv idual. As with the other examples, guilt plays a big part in the control of the feelings If a person feels a certain way. and thinks he is wrong to (eel this way. then he may feel KuiHv about it (Hie of the first things a therpist learns in training is not to deny a person's feelings t'sing a previous example. Johnnx max gel very angry at his mother or father and siart yelling. ' I hale you' I hale you'" The mother or f.ither may respond. "(h. you shouldn't feel that way ! It is xei wrong to hale your mother or father!" A person does not hax'e control over what he lecls. only how he responds to his feelings Hem e, if a person gets angry, it doesn't accomplish anything to say. "You shouldn't feel angry!" There are aluaxa reasons why a person feels a certain way. Since people do deny their real feelings, the therapist may have a difficult task in getting each individual member of the f.iimlx to become in touch with his actual feelings As mentioned In the last article, as the real feelings begin to come to the surface, it usually creates more family conflict luil onlx when these real feelings are aired can the family start resolung them so their relationship as a family can improve.

Beef Jerky by Gus Markgraf Meat Prepration: Choose a meat with long muscle fibers (grain) but is void of gristle and sinew. Use a bottom round, flank, boneless should er, etc. Slice the meat into strips approximately ' to h inch thick and as wide and long as you prefer. Slice the meat with the grain. Curing Methods: Method I Pour about a cup of a commercial curing salt mix in a pie pan; several commercial curing salt mixes are usually available in stores that sell home canning and freezing supplies. Select a mix to fit your taste. Add, to taste, garlic powder and-or pepper if desired . Lay a piece of meat in the salt mix; allow as much salt to remain on the meat as will stick to one surface. Remove from the salt and place the meat in a pan salty side up. Repeat until all of the meat is packed in the pan in layers with the salty side up. Leave the meat in the salt pack about 8 hours. Remove from the salt pack and wash with fresh cold water to remove the excess salt. Let the meat drip dry. The meat can now be just dried, cooked and dried; or, cooked, dried and smoked. An oven or smoker heated to 150 degrees will dry the meat while it is cooking. Dry meat to the desired texture and keep in the freezer for best results. A smoked taste can be obtained from liquid smoke or smoked salt if a smoker is not available. Method II Put a pan of salt water on the stove and let it come to a boil. Use at least 2 pounds of salt to a gallon of water. Salt petre or Prague powder and sugar are option al. Put the strips of meat into the boiling water for three minutes, then hang them out to dry in the sun. Put a cheese cloth aroound the meat in a lent shape to discourage the flies. If you want a smoke flavor, put a canvas over the meat, close up to the top, and build a small wood fire under it. This will give the meat a smoked taste. Let is smoke over night. moo o oo oooooo ooouon nnftflflBtiooiiBBtfto """ r r , r r r r .: .. .. ... ... ,.J ,.l i Jhm - Two elementary youngsters look at the predicament of this large truck.

DLf.l uses computers The U.S. Bureau of Land Management will use a com puter to prepare the annual grazing bills for the 2000 ranchers who graze livestock on national resource lands in Oregon and Washington. The first bills will go into the mail in February, 1976. The com puter will eliminate computa tions by hand and typing each individual billing. Each rancher will get a "grazing preference state ment," a computer-type print out, approximately 60 days before his first turnout date This statement, which re places the old grazing appli cation blank, will be accom Danied bv detailed instruc tions for the first year's trial If a rancher wants to change the number of livestock or the season of grazing use from previous years, the changes are noted on the statement. The changed statements are reviewed by BLM before going to the computer to insure that the requested changes are within the carry ing capacity of the range and meet other planned manage ment objectives The majority of ranchers, who seldom change operations from year to year, will be billed automa tically by the computer. This year ranchers in Ore gon and Washington paid $1 per cow per month to graze on BLM managed lands. ($1.19on O&C lands in western Ore gon). Total receipts from grazing in the two states were more than $1 million. Part of this income is used by BLM for range improvement work such as water development, fences and reseeding. The grazing fee for 1976 will be set by the Department of the Interior in January. Page F J jm j . ' - 1 " 1 y I r- I J I t -& ft W BICEXTE.WIAI. SENIORS PROGRAM ANNOUNCED Frank J. Quinlan.

Oct. 30. 1975 HALLOWEEN Soropfimisls The festival of all hallows eve or, as it's known in this country, Halloween-has been celebrated since medieval times by simple country folk to placate supernatural pow ers controlling the processes of nature. The Celtic and Anglo-Saxon festival was connected with the return of herds from the pasture, the renewal of laws and land tenures, the end of summer and the eve of the new year. The special festival, al though not currently limited to simple country folk, is still celebrated by millions of children and adults through out the world. And, as is the habit with people having fun, especially young people, they have a tendency to forget about the dangers that could trick a trickor-treater. The dangers are not only goblins and ghouls, but also dark street corners, unwary drivers and unsafe costumes. The Institute, a national insurance industry-sponsored public relations cautions that while Halloween can be a fun night for children, it is potentially the most danger ous for them. The goblins and ghouls, are the modern-day variety that would harm your child by putting poison, drugs, pins, ground-up glass or razor blades in treats. Make sure your child knows what he or she is eating. Don't trick-or-treat in neighborhoods or at homes that are unfamiliar to you and escort your children to each house. Because Halloween is such a fun night, children tend to forget about the dangers of dark street corners and un wary drivers. The problem is compounded when costumes are difficult to see and masks are difficult to see out of. Having children wear reflec tive tape on costumes, carry a flashlight (turned on) and wear a "natural" mask of cosmetics applied directly to the skin can be not only more safe for the little witches and warlocks but also more fun. If you are a motorist, drive slowly and warily. Watch for children darting from between parked cars. Tap your horn occasionally on dimly-lighted residential streets. Be extre mely cautious when backing out of driveways. In suburban areas, country roads normally clear of pede strians after dark are especi ally hazardous with trick-or-treaters walking on the road way. Keep your speed dow n as you pass inhabited areas. Halloween, is more than a festival of country folk placat ing supernatural powers: it's a time for little and big kids to have fun. Keep that in mind w hen you are out driving or at your door answering trick-or-treaters sW - xJi with , its (Demonstrations Call Glenn given award The Soroptimist Federation at Heppner was presented a plaque honoring its outstand ing service to the American Cancer Society at a luncheon meeting, Oct. 16.
