OREGON MONDAY, MAY 21. 1982 A 3' The Family Council Editor's Note: The family Council consists or ft Judge, m psychia trist, threa clergymen, three editors and a woman's editor. Each article ti a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on prob lems that have been deal, with by responsible agencies and couselors. (Copyright by General Features Corp.) Mm. H. Y. I wt dn't know where to turn it Uncle Bud acted up like thai again. Mr. H. Y. He get over his fits himself. If not, his favorite bartender helps him. e e Mrs. H. Y My husband's uncle, whom I'd never met in the two years of our mar riage, just blew in from New Mexico and is staying with us until the new golf club nearby is built. He's to be the caretaker. But something mysterious is bothering Uncle Bud. We can't find out much about his past life. He's Henry's moth er's brother, and she died long ago. All Hajry knows is that his uncle is pbout 60 years old, had a miserable marriage which nded in a divorce, and was once a golf champion. Out West he was a golf pro, but was asked to leave and accept the caretak er job around here. He'll have his own room in the club house. Last week he became vio lently agitated. H: began to shout, bang things around, and then slumped into tears. We called our doctor who ad ministered sedation. But our doctor is leaving for a con vention, and if there's a re peat I'll be lost. He should be hospitalized. . Mr. H. Y. Uncle Bud s all right. My wife scares too easily. Even though he's al most three times her age, she flutters around him like a mother hen, worrying when he'll have his : ext attack of the blues. He says he gets ter rible headaches from an old World War I injury and when he's all out of his medicine he's apt to carry on a bit. This last attack just got him un aware. But it won't happen again. The doctor left him a prescription, and l.e's all set. It's true that he's not a particularly cheerful soul. In fact, he's a sad sack and it'll be a relief when his job be gins and he can move out. But if Helen keeps talking so much, word may get to his new employer and they'll be afraid to take him on. Then we'll really be responsible for his well-being. Whenever he feels real "down" he knows what to do. He takes himself to his new est friend, our local bartend er, who sends him home all smiles - The Council: There's a blank on most job forms for nearest of kin. Mr. Y.'s name probably appears in that space on Uncle Bud's record. At any rate, Mr. Y. is nearest geographically if not genealo gically, and it is he, as well as his wife, who will be call ed in case of trouble or accident. That's why Mr. Y. can't shrug off Uncle Bud's aber rational behavior. We prefer his wife's attitude of, "Let's line up a program of action, just in case," to Mr. Y.'s which adds up to, "Nothing will happen and if it does, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Suppose there's a washout at the bridge! Mrs. Y., at least, will know some alternate routes. We wish we could just spell out a few handy tele phone numbers for the Y.'s to call in an amotional emer gency. In another decade this may be possible, even easy. It's being done here and there, but mostly, alas, there-there in Amsterdam, Holland, where one can dial 5-5-5-5 to bring qualified psychiatrist help to the door, within minutes. In New York City, there are two never-closed psychi atric emergency clinics for special type first aid needed during emotional crises. But, we can't tell Mrs. Y., who is not a New Yorker, to pick up her phone and summon specific help tor Uncle Bud's mental problems. Her re course, in desperation, may still have to be the police or the nearest ambulance. But we trust she can do two constructive things Uncle Bud's behalf. First, get him to an interview with psychiatric social worker in stead of a bartender, just for an opinion add a forecast! Second, see whether the local hospital can imitate, on how ever small a scale, the prac tice at Boston State Hospital which sends ambi ances out on emergency calls, net to haul people back, but to ad minister psychiatric home treatment on the spot! Both the patient and the family are calmed by the attendant psychiatric staff, and arrange ments are made for future care if necessary. Emotional emergencies can strike any time. But, as Mrs. Y. emphasizes, there are few 24-hours-a-day facilities for meeting them. Until there are more, makeshifts must serve. GETS VOTE Salem - fUPIl - GOP Secre tary of State Howell Appling Jr., who isn't running for anything this year, picked up 35 write in votes in Marion county for governor Friday. Conjunction of Start Two New York Republican Senators Found To Have Many Similarities By DICK WEFT Washington - IUPII - If we have in the audience any di sciples of witchcraft, astrolo gy, metaphys ics, dentistry or other mys tis arts, let them please come forward. I would like to know what sign ificance they attach to Jacob Javits '' and Kenneth Keating. The two New York senators are figures in a series of co incidences which seem to transcend politics and border on the occult. The explanation must lie in a rare conjunction of the stars, or some other such fate ful occurrence To begin with, both are Republicans. A glance at the present party lineup in the Senate will show you that this is no small coincidence itself. Have Repealing Initials Now note that both have repeating iniitials - J. J. and K. K. and that these let ters rub elbows' in the alpha bet. Also note that "J" comes first and that Javits outranks Keating in Senate seniority. And if that isn't eerie enough for you, observe that both have the same birthday and are today jointly cele brating their nalal anniver sary. I asked a young woman who works for Keating to send me some information re lating to the birthday cele bration: Their ages (Keating is 62, Javits 58) and so forth. She did so, and referred to the event in hyphen form as the "Javits-Keating birthday." Only she wrote it "Javits Kennedy." which is a freud ian slip if I ever saw one. Discovered New Coincidence The material included the transcript of a television pro gram which the two senators had filmed for showing over a group of stations here and in New York last week end. It was there that I discov ered a new coincidence, which I regard as ihe most uncanny of all. Each was asked "what has been the greatest influence in your life?" You might find this hard to believe, but they Government Property Sale Set in Medford A sale of government prop erty will be held in room 307, post office building, Medford, from 1 to 4:30 p.m.. May 24 and June 5, according to the National Park service. Crater Lake National Park.

Both said "Mother." To have two senators of the same party from the same state with the same birthdays seems stranger than fiction. But to find that they agree on the virtues of motherhood carries the coincidence almost beyond credibility. GIVES THEM IDEAS , Manchester, England - tUPB -The National Union of Small Shopkeepers will be asked to j adopt a resolution condemn-! ing programs depicting shop lifting on television. Not only: do the programs give young- j sters the idea of stealing from shops, union branch president Norman Robinson said, but "thieves may be shown some new methods." j GRADUATION DEBENTURES lo INTEREST Paid Semi-Annually How To Hold FALSE TEETH More Firmly in Place rv wnur fi teth nnor sincl m- hrri By dipping, dropping or wob bling when you t.
