Ho Zoning Planned
At County Lakes
No zoning to limit boating
activities to certain areas of
Howard Prairie and Emigrant
lakes is planned, according to
Jackson County Sheriff Joe
Walsh.
Walsh said that most water
skiers now use Emigrant, and
fishermen use Howard Prai
rie. He said, however, that if
the need arises, a diagnoal
zone extending north and
south wo ild be established at
Howarr" Prairie. The west side
would be used for water ski
ing and the east side for fish
ing. No zoning is planned at
Emigrant lake.
He added that the velocity
of wind may make it neces
sary to restrict certain activi
ties in certain areas of the
lakes.

illness.
By GEORGE S.
STEVENSON, M.D.
Consultant, National
Association for Mental Health
(Written for UPI)
Jones works at a desk next
to yours. He is a man in the
late 40s, an 'angry man" trig
gered for sarcasm, criticism,
argument. You call him ma
licious or 'just plain mean,'
or something much more
colorful.
But you only 'blow your
top' occasionally.
Or that is how your per
iodic trouble with Jones seems
to you. Perhaps this is the
time to ask yourself what's
wrong with Jones? Or with
yourself, to make sure you
aren't the porcupine.
If it is Jones who has the
prickly personality, you are
not the only one to feel the
scrape of his bristling. But
again the question is, why?
And how can you help him?
For a man who is 'angry' and
'mean' most of the time, is a
man in trouble with himself
if he isn't helped, he may be
heading for a breakdown.
But he has been function
ing in a responsible job for
years. So why should it be
come an issue now? Well,
now is the time in his life
when he sees a huge sign post
on the road. He has seen oth
ers and passed them by, but
this is the one that says: "Fif
ty. Downhill all the rest of
the way."
Yes, middle age. And yes,
it happens to everybody.
Crisis for Some
But for some people it is a
crisis. They are suddenly in
unda'.ed by frustrations, fears
and self-doubts that they have
managed to repress for half a
lifetime.
Jones has been living with a
fantasy of himself as being a
man who is 'better than oth
ers.' The truth is, Jones does
not believe In himself at all;
he has always been frightened
and insecure, and that's why
he needs a fantasy. He began
building that facade of su
periority early in life to escape
solving his emotional prob
lems. Today, this old 'de
fense mechanism' actually
makes It harder for him to
handle the out-cropping of the
new problems of middle age.
He has failed to achieve his
ambitions and is running out
of time. He isn't getting any
fun out of life aijd he never
reaiiy nas. .
Facts Crash Down
So the facade crumbles. The
facts of life crash down upon
his head. He needs help.
Physical changes com pli
cate the neuroses of the mid
dle years. The menopause in
women of 45 to 55, and the
more subtle change in men of
55 to 65, not only weaken the
capacity to cope with frustra
tions and disappointment, but
add their own emotional crises
to the scales. A woman sees
herself as no longer a poten
tial mother and fears she is
now undesirable. And a man
thinks he has lost the enjoy
ment that is the chief raison
d'etre of marriage; Integrity
prohibits his seeking an extra
marital relationship, and so
does the fear that he is no
longer attractive to women."
The neuroses exploding in
these years give rise to symp
toms discussed earlier in this
scries. When the signs are
recognized and treated
promptly, middle age can be
come a time of release from
heavy responsibility, of new
ly discovered leisure for ex
citing Interests', or fulfillment
in a time of life that can be
as fruitful as any other.
The psychoses of the mid
dle years also respond favor
ably to treatment. In fact, the
recovery rates for involution
al psychosis are more encour
aging than for all other class
es of mental illness, according
to figures Issued by the Na
tional Association for Mental
Health. This illnes attacks
men and women between 50
to 55. The patient is over
whelmed with depression, un-
happiness, misery. He has
wasted his life' or 'caused
nothing but trouble' or would
be 'better off dead.' The dan
ger here is that In his gloom,
the patient cannot see day
light ahead, and suicide may
be sought as a way out.
Another Illneif
Manic depressive psychosis
is another Illness usually
found in middle age. The pa
tient alternates between the
extreme depression, ju.,t de
scribed, and an exaggerated

state of elation - talkative
ness, excitement, optimism
that he can 'lick the world
single-handed.1 About three
out of four patients recover
from the episode, totally or
partially. Again early treat
ment improves the chances of
recovery.
There are three general
categories of treatment. Let
me describe them and some of
the more common techniques
used to treat mental and emo
tional illnesses. They often
are used in combination, and
always to meet the specific
needs of the patient.
The first category is called
milieu therapy. It seeks to
provide conditions of living
conducive to normal be
havior, and to remove condi
tions that arouse abnormal
behavior. It may mean taking
the patient out of his home
until he can make a better
adjustment to living within
the family. This type of
therapy can bring relief to a
critical situation, but it is best
combined with other treat
ment for basic recovery.
The second category, psy
chotherapy, mostly employs
the technique of verbal com
munication. In group therapy,
individual psychotherapy or
In psychoanalysis, the patient
is helped to become comfort
able with his fears and frus
trations. The goal is self
understanding. It isn't enough
to see himself intellectually,
he must accept the truth about
himself emotionally.
Other Therapies
In the third category, we
seek to alter body functions of
the nervous system, muscles,
and glands; and thus, to in
fluence a mental disorder or
pave the way for other thera
pies. Shock therapy, for ex

which lull and dull the patient,
the tranquillizers leave him

Tranquillizers should only be
used by doctor's prescription;
they are not suitable for all
patients and there may be
some toxic effects.
