Sunday, January 1, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE To stimulate interest m the United Nations, Mis. Everett A. Faber of Central Point arranged elaborate Christmas decorations this year in that theme. The picture above shows the mantel decoration, with the large mirror above reflecting part of the room. The arrangement included a world globe and bunches of grapes to symbolize the plenty which the world affords for all, if it is distributed equally; a star represented Christian faith and the love of God and small angels represented, the UN Interest Inspires Theme Of Faber Home Decorations Central Point Mrs. Everett Faber will fly tomorrow to San Francisco from where she will take the train for Buckhill Falls, Pa. Mrs. Faber, who is western jurisdiction secretary for Wes leyan Service guild of the Meth odist church, will attend a meet ing of the guild's standing 'com mittee to be held there. The committee will set "bol ides and make plans for the guilds throughout the United States for the coming year. "Wesleyan Service guild is made up of gainfully employed wo men. Mrs. Fabjsr also plans to spend some time" in New York City and may attend sessions of the United Nations if her schedule permits. Because of her long interest in United Nations, Mrss Faber arranged elgborate Christmas decorationsgfor the family home in the UN theme. On the mantel a lighted globe symbolized the world and the UN, grapes at the base of the globe conveyed the meaning of a plentiful supply of foodin the world, which could be distributed equally to all through United Nations' efforts if "we care enough "to do so." A lighted star representing "our Christian faith and the love of the Master for every child of God" shone down on a scale model of the UN head quarters. Little angel figurines New York Doctor Analyzes Headaches; Groups Listed By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.P.) Accord ing to a headache doctor, head aches fall into these three groups: those due to a structural dis ease of the body, those due to upsets or illnesses interfering with bodily functions and those for which- no, physical cause whatever can $e found. These latter are "psychogenic tension" headaches. Dr. Morti mer F. Shapiro is part of a con sultation clinic at Mount Sinai hospital in New York. When doctors aren't sure what's ailing a patient, he's sent to the clinic and the' cause of thg ailing is found out if it can be. ' Dr. Shapiro took the first 100 of these referred patients whose complaint was headache for which the referring physician could find no physical cause. The ultra scientific and knowledge able techniquesof the clinic found physical causes in only four. These techniques indicated that the headacgps of the other 96 were strictly psychogenic. One of the hurdles the doctor must jump in making these peo ple well is the language they use. Emotional Quality "Too often," said Shapiro, "the patient plays 'Humpty Dumpty,' with the confusing as sumption that words may mean what he chooses them o mean. And too often the patient uses words not so much to convey their literal meaning but rather to communicate to the physican some emotional quality which may be extraneous." But on the other hand, the emotional quality may be very pertinent it may point to the cause of the headache, which is emotional rather' than physical. Shapiro pointed 01$ that heart palpitations may begjart of a re flex pattern of bodily response to anxiety. Or: '"If an individual keeps his fist clenched for too long a period of time, symptoms of pain, cramp, paresthesia (tingling or burning sensations) sgon appear. A simi lar mechanism may underlie some of the psychogenic head aches." In his 96 patients, he demon represented the heavenly host singing "Peace on earth, good will to men." For heritable decoration Mrs. Faber used a cloth of UN blue with a center piece of a gold horn of plenty surrouSded by miniature flags of all. nations. The horn of plenty was filled with Christmas ornaments, x The Christmas tree was light ed with blue lights, and bells were; the . only ornaments. The bells were themed to the script on the livjing room' mirror which read "The Bells of Peace Ring out." A little church, which played "Silent Night ' and a choir of angels completed the decorations. Further explaining her pur pose in arranging the UN dec orations Mrs. Faber said: "After all, the United Nations and its specialized agencies are doing the . things that- the churches have been talking and preaching about for centuries. It was church people that helped org anzie the UN and itis up to Christians everywhere to sup port the UN program. I am a firm beliver in everyone doing what he can in his ownOcircle to educate and inform others of the United Nations. We en joyed our UN Christmas, with Christmas cards from all over the world adding to our plea sure. It was truly heart-warming." strated that "problems of anger and aggression" set off the head aches of 89. In his report to the New York State Journal of Med icine', he said it was "noteworthy that the average patient had no initial awareness that anger played any role in the genesis of his symptoms . . i A possible ex planation may be that the head ache among other functions serve's as a means o, enabling the individual to remain una ware of the extent and violence of his rage." , Very young children are checked whefr'they express their anger and rage,1 and "it becomes intimately associated with pro nation and anxiety-laden fan tasies of retribution Thus, a sit uation stimulating a:nger which may become overwhelming pre sents a threat to the individual and necessitates some defense against 'this anger. The first line of psychologic defense may be repression, that is to say, active ly remaining consciously una ware of the emotion." But whether conscious or not, an active emotion has its reac tions within the purely physical body, and repressed or suppress ed anger can start the same physical reflex patterns into mo tion, just like anger which is consciously felt. "Moreover," Shapiro contin tinued, "the very fact that the individual is unaware of an emo tion prevents its adequate dis charge. In fact, this unawareness often ' insures the chronic per sistence of the emotion and its physiologic pattern to the point where somati (bodily) symp toms result." Redmond Firm Gets Franchise For TV Redmond UR) The city of Redmond has granted a six month franchise to Redmond Televiewers, Inc., to bring a coaxial cable into the city to provide television reception. . An antenna will be located on Reservoir hill in Redmond Heights. Construction on the an tenna is due to start soon and it was believed the cable would be ready for use in 30 to 60 days. heavenly host singing "Peace on earth, good will to men." A table decoration was in United Nations blue and gold, and the Christmas tree was decorated with blue lights and bells. Mrs. Faber believes that each supporter of the UN should make an effort to inform others and stated "The United Nations is doing the thing that the churches have been talking and preaching bout for centuries." - ' (Brainerd photo)" Central Point Bethel Holds Annual Ceremony Wednesday Central Point Installation of officers was held Wednesday, December 28 by Bethel 38, Order of Job's Daughters with Miss Vicki Noel taking office "as honored queen.

Norman Cousins, .editor tney nave changed greatly and said recently in an editorial that the average young American woman of today is not satisfied mere ly to keep house and raise children, but seeks intellectual and crea tive outlets which are seldom available. Mr. Cousins believes that Sinclair Lewis's "Main Street" which startled Americans 35 years ago, should be dusted off and read again. Lewis wrote of a fictional Carol Kennicott who sought vain ly for creative ideas and color in her small town existence, and Mr. Cousins believes that while such women were few in the days when the book was written, they are now "legion." . ' "They are the college-trained, young married women, full of life, bounce and energy, but their Main Street is in the home," he wrote. "It is not that they object Jo being the family cook,, house cleaner, nursemaid, handyman and chauffeur. It is just that they believe their duties do not exhaust the meaning of life.. They re spect the requireirfents of growth not only in their children, but themselves. They would like to be able to do creative things.. But the housework tends to become an The editor says these women too often are married to men who are willing to settle down "in front of the television set for an eve1 ning of Westerns and crime shows" and who are bewildered if not downright antagonistic when their wives want some sparkle . of creative activity in the weekly routine. He also believes, women read more than men and says "the male may scorn authoritative information because he knows too much to bother to read." ; "Much has been made of the fact that women1 possess most ot the nation's material wealth," concludes Mr. Cousins. "It is possi ble they also are better informed about what is happening in the world.. But neither superior holdings nor superior knowledge is enough, apparently, to win them the respect they crave and de serve as individuals." .... ' Mr. Cousins comment that women read more than men stuck in our mind when we read a little later that "only five per cent of us (Americans) buy books habitually and even paperbound books 1 are bought by a small fraction of the total population. A recent survey indicated that while 55 per cent of the adults in England were reading books, only 17' per cent of Americans were." - This last comment came from Gilbert Seldes' review of a new book by Paul Blanshard entitled "The Right to Read: The Battle Against Censorship." Mr. Seldes, who believes that Author Blan shard has. written a "tremendously impressive" book, says that the truly discouraging part of the' book is the story of reading it self and adds "Who is going to fght for the right to re$d when so few" people read at all?" .' ''' Potpourri read f oP the first time last week, of a movement called "Meals for Millions." A re-print of an. article in the Los Angeles Times states that through this organization, 28 denomina tional and interchurch religious agencies have distributed 4 mil lion "three-cent meals'' of multi-purpose food since April 1, 1954. Having long believed that there must be some fairly 'simple solution to the world's food problem, we read the entire, article, written by Dan L. Thrapp, religious editor of the Times. Meals for Millions distributes 'a mixture' called 'multipurpose': food what looks to some like sawdust, tastes to many like turkey dressing, but can be mixed with any food of any people in any part of the world and be indistinguishable to their palates from the nourish ment to which they are accustomed." ' ;.'; . .. , Meals for Millions began during World War II and was the brainchild of Clifford E. Clinton, an LA restaurateur who was food consultant to the Quartermaster General, UNRRA, and the Food Administration. Mr. Clinton took his food problem to Dr. Henry Borsook. biochemistry rjrofessor at Caltech, ,-and -the professor came up with the new food. According to the Times, it is soybean meal fortified with minerals and vitamins, and can be used either j seasoned or unseasoned. . "''"' Two ounces is saidto cqntain the protein, minerals and vita- j mins (except C, which is unstable) equal to those obtained in a j meal of a quarter pound of beef, glass of milk, dish of green peas ! and a potato. . We were not surprised to learn that an energetic American woman, Miss Florence Rose of Brooklyn, is now . the mainspring of "Meals for Millions" and read with interest how she has trav eled around the world, making plans for production of the food in : numerous countries. One is India, where she enlisted the aid of j Health Minister! Rajkumari Arrit Kaur, and Minister of Agricul- , ture Dr. Panjabrao S.-Deshmukh. The Indians are experimenting , with peanuts as a substitute for soybeans in the multi-purpose food .' and in Iraq experts are studying dates and sesame seeds -as a base for a multi-purpose food. :- Since we are one of those Americans who feels guilty at the remembrance of the food wasted in this nation while millions in other parts of the world starve, we heartily hope that Meals for Millions continues to be'a successful venture. ' '. !o) . ..-. ' '-..-...; Maybe Mrs. S. D. Earhart wishes she was back in her native Tennessee, where they grow watermelons in December. Mrs. Earhart came in last week with a clipping which pictured three watermelons . about to be harvested in Chickasaw, Tfnn. ,The melons were planted by M. J. Jessup IH, a grandnephew . gf Mrs. Earhart, and pictured with the .three big melons was little Connie Faye Dobbs, 2, a grandniece of the Medf ord woman. Just to be fair, we should add that the melons had to be covered with blankets not long5ago to keep them from freezing. , . '. The December issue of Sports Illustrated gives President Eisenhower's recipe for cooking mountain trout.. . The 'president says it should be dipped in corn meal, each fish wrapped in alum inum foil and then cooked 10 minutes on each side-no more no lpSsover elowine hot charcoal coals. The article also says that President Ike insists that the prospective consumers of tke trout j must be precisely on station and eat the fish at once. No "waiting ; permitted. There pappy would agree. When pappy cooks a steak over the coals on the outdoor grill, he insists that eVery other part of ; the meal be readv for serving before he starts the steak.. As it i comes off the fire it is slapped on a hot plate and the diner starts to eat at once. We've never eaten any trout cooked by President Ike, but we are willing to bet it isn't any better than pappy's steaks.
