Well, in that area of Communist Czechoslovakia there is a town named Chrud im, and in that town there it a factory, and in that fac tory there is (or maybe was) worker named J. Votava, ho had a complaint. Worker Votava, according the Prague Pravo, wanted complain about working onditions. The factory man tgement replied that "Votava thould produce a health cer tificate by a psychiatrist be fore the complaint could be investigated." Nearly everybody, nowa days, is sick, sick, sick. One of the most delightful learned and humble men I've ever interviewed is Will Dur ant, who for years has been engaged on writing the story of civilization at the rate of one volume every five years. His obvious impatience with imposters intruding in the broad sweep of history shows in the way he kisses off one figure in his latest volume, "The Reformation." Thus: "One astrologer of this period is still popular. Nos tradamus was, in French, Mi chel de Norte Dame. He pro fessed to be a physician and an astronomer, and was ac cepted as semi-official astrolo ger by Catherine de Medici; she built an observatory for him in Les Halles. In 1564 he predicted a life of 90 years for Charles IX, who died 10 years later at the age of 24. "At his own death (1566) he left a book of prophecies so wisely ambiguous that some line or another could be ap plied to almost any event in later history." In our modern civilization, where the smallest olive you can buy from the shelf is la beled "giant" on the can, and where (in New York at least) an apartment consisting of a living room with some niches around it for cooking and bathing is labeled "2Vz rooms," it is not surprising to find advertised a row ' of 10 books with nothing in them. i They are merely cut out of poster board to look like books. You put them on a shelf and let your guests be bowled over by the crazy titles on the covers. Such as: "Brain Surgery Self Taught," "Tom Swift and His Electri cal Grandmother," and "So You .Want To Build A Swamp." What we need now is an imitation TV set, for decoration. At this time of year a cen tury ago in Philidelphia, ac cording to word sent to this desk by a cleansing company, you couldn't take a bath with out fear of breaking a law. In the 1850's, it says both Phili delphia and Boston had laws against bathing. Philidelphia prohibited baths between No vember and March Boston banned baths without a doc tor's written permission. The same source says sta tistics show Americans now take 502,000,000 baths and showers a week. If that's true, we must be the best-scrubbed nation in the world And even if we don't bathe, we're all being taken to the cleaners every day, in some way or other. t FRATERNITY LAUNCHED Ramstein, Germany fl?) A group of airmen at the U.S. air base here have founded a "fraternity" whose main pur pose is to work in conjunction with all world youth organiza tions to promote cultural friendship. iOIIIiL Two Local Men In Damage Suit Nolan C. Vaughn, 1016 West Second st., Medford, has filed a complaint in circuit court asking 518,027 for damages incurred during an accident on the Klamath River rd. in Siskiyou county, Calif ., June 21. 1956. The complaint was filed against Leslie E. Feris, Pho nix, and Charles R. Epper son, 4189 Cedar lane, Med ford. The complaint charges that the defendants were neg ligent and careless in the op erating of a truck which col lided with the truck operated by Vaughn. Vaughn states in the com plaint that, he suffered back, neck, spine, arm and shoulder injuries in the accident. He is represented by Hugh Collins, Medford attorney. PRINCESS PROGRESSES London (IP) Seven-year-old Princess Anne is "pro gressing normally" after her operation for removal of ton sils and adenoids and is ex pected to leave the hospital at the end of the week, her doc tors said today. Psychologists Urged To Go Slow on 'Psuedo' Retardation By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York HP) Discuss ing the perilous scientific business' of testing children for intelligence, a child psy chologist has warned all so engaged to show "the utmost caution" label ing any child men tally de defective. Dr. Lucille Hollander Blum estima ted that per haps 15 per cent of the children so la beled, turn to be at all. Delos Smith out later not The English sparrow was introduced into North Ameri ca in 1850. Indeed, some turn out to have superior intelligence. To pro tect tnemseives from over whelming demands, they put on the mask of stupidity. These children are pitfalls for the psychologist because he has no reliable technical means of unmasking them. They're "pseudo - retarded" rather than actually retarded, hut so far this correct diagno sis has been made "only in retrospect." In a communication to the National Association for Men tal Health, Dr. Blum set forth j her own experience with "de fective" children who turned out not to be. In almost all cases they either were adopt ed children or the children of families in which there had been some mental illness. She suggested that either of these circumstances might increase the normal anxiety of parents for their children to "achieve." Under the cir cumstances, some parents be gin feeling there is some dreadful reason behind fail ures to "achieve" and their stepped-up anxiety results in demands which the child can't take. Yet, children develop ac cording to their built-in de velopmental patterns and po tentials and sometimes the stage of development is not sufficent to support the de mands. Then there it trouble. If the major trouble is "pseu do" retardation, the psycholo gist can be fooled and so he must watch his step. Some Easy To Spot A lesser trouble -are the children who are not so dis turbed that their intelligence can't be accurately measured by psychological tests. At least it can be readily spotted that they're not actually retarded. She . cited one child who was brought to her because of his persistently failing school grades. His IQ turned out to be 161 "which classified him not only as having very su perior capacities but also placed him in a group equal ed or excelled by only one out of 10,000." In part the cause Is the age we live in. Its competitive in tensities produce anxiety in parents. "In defense of the parent," she said, "it might be said that his own feeling of uncertainty as to his role and his child's future seems an im portant factor in the strenu ous demands he makes."
