Dr. Chisholm Says Children Are
Nation's Most Important Product
"The most important product
of any country is its children,"
Dr. Brock Chisholm, specialist
in world health problems, told
the Southern Oregon Child
Guidance Clinic association last
night
Dr. Chisholm spoke to about
150 people from Jackson, Doug
las and Klamath counties who
attended the association's an
nual meeting at Hedrick Junior
High school. His subject was
"Growing Up in a New Kind of
World."
The development of children
will determine whether or not
the human race will survive, he
said. The speaker noted that a
new kind of thinking is neces
sary now because we are living
in a new kind of world.
Conditions for Survival
"Conditions for survival now
are different than at any other
time in the history of the human
race. . . . Our ancestral patterns
have ended in war. If we follow

the example of our ancestors it
will result in the end of the hu
man race," he said.
Dr. Chisholm commented that
the human race now stands as
other races have stood just be
fore their dissolution.
"Warfare is no longer any
thing but synonymous with
death. We have to learn to live
in this new kind of world with
out warfare," he said.
The speaker also suggested
there is a need for a new kind
of free thinking. "What we have
called thinking actually has
been accepting local prejudices
imposed by local people. We
have rearranged these preju
dicees and called it thinking."
Taught Not lo Think
He added, "In childhood we
are actually taught not to
think." He illustrated this state
ment by referring to the com
mon phrase, "Mother knows
best."
Dr. Chisholm emphasized the
need for self examination in
averting another world war.
"After World War II, nations
were so concerned about them
selves they decided something
had to be done ... So they
started telling each other what
to do. Instead, we should use
self examination, which is a
full time job."
He pointed out that the hu
man race has had faith in organ
ization and legislation. "We set
up the United Nations and other
special agencies and felt that
was all that was necessary . . .
The UN is simply an instrument
waiting to be used by people of
the world for the purposes for
which it was designed. If people
used it for the purpose for
which it was designed, it would
do a magnfiicent job," he said.
Only Hop for Peaca
Special agencies such as the
United Nations and UNESCO,
represent the only hope for the
human race, he commented.
"Wars begin in the minds of
men. We've pretended wars be
gin by economic conditions."
Dr. Chisholm added, "Health
is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well being,
not merely absence of disease."
The speaker further stated,
"Elderly people tend to think
that only children need to
change . .' . Children have to
have freedom if they are to
change, and not many are be
ing given that freedom."
He gave special emphasis to
the need for children to develop
their own faculties, such as
imagination. "They need to ex
plore in all directions. To do
that, they must not be tied down
to customs too soon." He said
they need a "safety valve" and
illustrated this by saying a child
should not hit a playmate over
the head, but should be allowed
to say he wants to.
"They need to explore in the
whole field of cause and effect.
If they did this, they would not
close their eyes to bad effects,"
he said.

Dr. Chisholm added, "Destruc
tion of the imagination is still
being practiced in many fami
lies. Wherever evil exists it
needs to be seen, heard and
talked about. Man may not sur
vive because of hiding his head
in the sand."
The speaker said World Wars
I and II were caused because we
would not look at reality. "Chil
dren have to learn to face facts,
think of terms of cause and re
sult, and make sound deci
sions." To illustrate how imagination
can be used to see things as they
really are, Dr. Chisholm asked
the audience to pretend they
lived in Southeast Asia and
Czechoslovakia. He pointed out
economic and social advantages
of North Americans over the
rest of the word. He noted that
the United States and Canada
used more irreplaceable national
resources since World War I
than the rest of the world put
together. He mentioned that
North Americans are industri
ous people and are more will
ing to work for what they want
than people in other parts of the
world.
Can Do Mora Damage
He also commented that films
portraying the United States can
do more damage in other coun
tries than the Voice of America
can undo. Dr. Chisholm said
old films showing lynchings,
race riots and other degrading
happenings in this country are
commonly shown abroad.
"The next steps toward world
peace will have to be taken at
home in our own communities
and not in the United Nations,"
he declared.
Preceding the talk, the asso
ciation cast a unanimous ballot
for nominees to the board of
directors for the next year. New
directors include Mrs. Albert
Banmforth, Rogue River; Rich
ard C. Cottle, Ashland; the Rev.
Richard Jdnes, Medford; Mrs.
David Legg, Medford; Mrs. Al
lyn Monroe, Medford; Harold

Charlas P. My wife's
card 1
playing is disgusting.
Olga P. It's a harmless pas
time. Charles P. My wife and I
have been married nearly 30
years. For the past 15 of those
years we have been battling
about something that gets on
my nerves so much that I feel
I just can't take it any more.
Olga is a card player and has
played several times a week all
these years. I have no idea how
much money she has lost, but
I'm sure it's plenty. It's not just
the money, though. I think it's
disgusting to see these women
playing together, smoking and
gambling every afternoon. Some
times she even goes away in
the evening ' too, and doesn't
come home until late at night.
I have been after her for the
longest time to take a job any
thing, to keep her busy so that
she'll get out of that disgusting
habit I tell her it's just as bad
as drinking, but I can't seem to
convince her.
Olga P. I feel that card play
ing is a perfectly innocent pas
time. I don't hurt anyone else
by it. What's the harm? Charles
can't accuse me of neglecting
our home. I'm a good, efficient
homemaker and finish my work
early. I always have a good din

gets home. I have a right to
some pleasure during the after
noon. The idea that I have lost a
lot of money playing cards is
ridiculous. We play for small
stakes. Playing for money
makes the game more exciting,
but I doubt whether I've lost as
much as $100 in the past several
years.
My husband thinks that I
should be satisfied with nothing
in my life but work and sitting
home with him in the evening
watching' TV and reading the
papers. A person needs more ex
citement in life than that.
The Council: A person certain
ly does need more pleasure and
excitement in life than the day-to-day
routine, but Olga has
settled for trifling pleasure and
unreal excitement. Even this
trifling pleasure and unreal ex
citement is harmless enough as
an occasional pastime, but when
the hours spent at it add up into
weeks, months and eventually,
years, it is bound in the end to
leave the individual with a sense
of futility and , boredom with
life in general. '
If Olga tries ' to analyze her
pleasure in card playing, she
will probably find that it breaks
down into three things the
pleasure in sociability, the pleas
ure of pitting her mind against
those of others and the emotion
al excitement of working with
and against the laws of chance.
All of these satisfactions can be
enjoyed in other ways which
do not leave one with a sense of
boredom and futility in the long
run.
It would take real desire on
Olga's part to tear herself away
from this ingrained habit and
seek more constructive pleas
ures and mental activity and
she would have the satisfaction
of making her own money be
sides. Volunteer work would also
give her sociability and mental
activity and she would have the
additional satisfaction of help
ing others. Both forms of work
would provide emotional stimu
lation by the challenge they of
fer to impose human order on
the chaos of chance.
