Phone SP 3-6297 TO Peace With Self Develops Sense of Personal Direction I & By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York -(CPD- Science has this Christmas message for discontented, unhappy people: "When a person has Tmade peace with himself, he develops a clearer . sense of personal di rection in life and a feeling i - c j oi inner iree- , dom." Benjamin J. Deios smith Becker, a psy chiatrist, in reporting to the medical society of the state of New York on "the mind-body unity" which is revealed both by the psychiatric tool, psy choanalysis and by physical medical practice. The peace a person can make with himself must be with his past as well as with his present to be a genuine peace, he said. But once it is made, there is a fading away of "conflicts in areas such as personal ambition and rela tions with other people." And "this is accompanied by a lessening of emotional stress and its harmful physi cal , effects," he continued, since "the endorcrine glands and the various nervous sys tems become less charged with the effects of conflict." Conflicts Cause Body Pain He traced the physical path ways by which emotional con flicts influence the body phy sically. For instance, "con flicts between repressed rage, aggression, and the need for dependency create conflicting autonomic nervous impulses which can lead to cardiac pain. , "It is evident that person ality types and conflicts have profound effects on the ap pearance and functioning of the body," he said. "People's posture and manner of walk ing reveal much about their, personality, make - up, de fenses, and goals. "People carry themselves differently, according td whether they are predomi nantly aggressive, dependent, or detached. Some people walk , briskly and efficiently. Some slouch along loosely, and others look as if they are constantly avoiding the blow which they expect any min ute." He pointed to over-weight people who should reduce but can't. Many of them, he said, are substituting food for "love and gratification" because they have deep inner doubts as to their worthiness for love. Food Is Substitute "Since they can find no constructive solution for their conflicts, they try to escape anxiety by the old method whereby an unhappy infant is appeased with a bottle of his formula," he said. Low back pain was another of his examples. It is quite common and medical statistics indicate that only about four per cent of the cases have a definite physical cause, such as strain or damaged muscles. irl Scouts Brownie Troop I Troop members collected canned goods for the Salva tion Army Second Lt.

Bain, as executive secretary of the . State Com mittee on. Natural Resources has been announced by Gov. Robert D. Holmes. What happens in many cases is that an unimportant body movement "triggers chronic spastic reactions in muscles already tense with emotional conflicts." About love, he had this to say: "those who must domi nate, who are too easily hurt, who cannot give without ex pecting equal value in return, or who are obsessed with the mad pursuit of an illusory safety will have troubled re lationships in love and sex."

Holmes at the conclusion of a board meeting in Salem Thursday. Key, whose home is in Milton-Freewater, is state senator-elect from Umatilla county which automatically eliminates him from member ship on a state board. Ralph Witcher, Junction City dairyman, was named new. chairman. He was direct ed to get in touch with the new director of the state de partment of agriculture as soon as his selection is an nounced. The board gave a rising vote of confidence to Robert J. Steward, who will retire as director of agriculture on Jan. 12. The board outlined four matters which the members requested Director Steward to draft in a letter to Governor Holmes and Governor-elect Mark Hatfield and to the pre siding officers of both branch es of the legislature for atten tion of the chairmen of their committees on agriculture. Board's Letter Given ' The board's letter will say: 1. It considers marketing to be the No. 1 problem of Ore gon producers and that it is in this area the most construc tive good can be accomplish ed for agriculture. With the limited staff in the market de velopment division of the de partment of agriculture, per haps the primary emphasis should be on transportation. It expressed disappointment that the planning and devel opment effort in Oregon has not shown more progress in the agricultural field, 2. The need is evident for a better developed public rela tions system for agriculture, and as it involves the depart ment of agriculture this means attention to the story that a major portion of the de partment's work is directed to the benefit of the consum er and that all citizens have a stake in the department oper ations. 3. The board endorsed Di rector Stewards' suggestion in the December issue of the de partments' Agriculture "bulle--tin of an interim committee for agriculture, authorized to study and act upon agricultur al problems upon a continuing basis. ' 4. In studying the general law applying to the state de partment of agriculture, the board recommended repeal of: (1) ORS 561.170 which prohibits the director or oth er department employes from having a financial interest in the article supervised; and (2) ORS 561.050 which requires consent of the governor in ap pointment of division chiefs. The board said the first sec tion (conflict of interest) ex cludes the appointment of an agriculturist as director, and that the second one is a re quirement which applies to only two other departments in the entire structure of state government. Rumors Reported Director Steward reported to the ' board that he had heard rumors. from over the state that some farm groups will make an effort . in the 1959 legislature to take the di rector of agriculture out - of politicis and to change the du ties and composition of the state board of agriculture to give it more policy making authority, as with tie Oregon state board of higher educa tion and the highway commis sion. Board members did not feel they should express any opin ion on such moves because suggestions are still in the ru mor stage. The next meeting of the board will be on call of the new director of agriculture. Members of the board, rep resenting various branches -of agriculture in the state, and named to advise the depart ment director, are: ' Mrs. Kenneth (Katherine) Livingston, Portland; civic and club leader, consumer representative; term expires July 1, 1960. Lloyd Key, Milton-Freewa ter grain rancher and cannery official, wheat representative; term expires July 1, 1961 Robert Pierce, Ontario mint grower and farm leader, rep resenting row crop interests; term expires July 1, 1959.

Witcher, Junction City dairy rancher and state grange official, representing dairy industry;, term expires July 1, 1959. . R. A. Long, Lake county stock rancher and lifelong cat tleman, representing the cat tle interests; term expires July 1, 1961.
