"This is not so much an age of anxiety," Grinker said. "It is sather an age of defense against anxiety." He said many persons today "flee from any tension produc ing situation." "When we as doctors lend our selves to this neurotic defense against anxietjr we are rendering our patients a disservice," he said. "Frustration and anxiety are necessary for learning, growth and maturity." Grinker, who heads the Insti tute for Psychiatric and Psycho somatic Research and training at Michael Reese, said tranquil izers treat only the" symptoms of emotional illness. Their use might actually delay a patient in seeking psychiat ric help in finding the cause of a serious emotional problem, he said. neau; Troop 168, Melba Graham, Mary Heyerman, Cora Bell Ravenor, Beatrice Rasmussen, Mary Music, Sherry Smets, Nan cy Zimmerman, Mrs. Pete Zim merman and Mrs. E.
