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

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

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."

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."

S MAIN AND
How much have the interests
years? 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. ' '.

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. O.S. , '
