SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1938 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE SEVEN "Soft and scared. Infected by the anxieties of his mother.' The American Mole, 7958, May Be Bumbling, Bui He Has His Points, Too By WAKD CANNI'.L NEA Slaff Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) t- With his last, miserable, weak measure of resistance, the Modern American Male somehow continues to get through each day in spiteful de fiance of expert opinion. Ask almost any family patholo gist, psychologist, sociologist, an thropologist, welfare agent, thera pist. Then sit hack while the dread ful saga unfolds, something like this: Along with his razor-strop and scuttle of suds, America's once staunch Manhood has retreated Into the American past. "Today," eminent Professor Na than Ackerman says, "the world views the American man as a pas sive. inadequate, immature, jeal ous hoy who brings home his fear of defeat by his competitors. And it is not alone the world's view. The frightened warrior holds it himself." Where is the independent man of yesteryear? Gone, according to the recent "The Decline of the American Male" into The Group. "The Group . . . is . . . always right," this book laments, leaving man nowhere "to stand in alone ness and dignity." Our men are over-supervised, other - directed, under developed, while the community, club and av erage take the lead. And what of that once familiar All American Boy is his knickers and ambition to be President or make a million? "Over-protected," says Bonnie Prudden of the Physical Fitness Institute. "Soft and scared. Infect ed by the anxieties of his mother and the women who rear him until lie is an adolescent." Seeking security only, comes chorus of artists and social critics. "And has the autobiography of any creat man ever said. 'AH 1 ever asked of life was a sense of se curity?' " asks novelist J. B Priestley. "Unable to identify with any masculine image." says one an thropologist, "because there are so few men in the Boy s uie umu u may be too late." All right. How about the young buck: That dashing blade who used to hang around the drug store un til he could work up enough cour age to spark a girl? "What about him?" one psychi atrist after another asks. "He's learned that sex is a marketable commodity. It helps him get ahead on his job. in his competition with women, in his seeking for reassur ance that he is a worthwhile person. "He's not down at the corner anvinore. unless every girl he knows is busy tonight." That leaves the autocrat of the breakfast table, the patriarch of home and hearth in short, the American Father. Well sir, a re cent study by the redoubtable Kirkbride Fund is entitled "Fath er. The Forgotten Man." Here is their 'definition of the old man: "A mother substitute one who merely imitates the meth ods of the mother while the moth er remains in control. A recent survey by the Fun with Pop committee shows that the pressures on him leave him only minutes alone each week with his children. And the pressures? Practically every popular magazine will give them to you from making break fast to helping the kids get oil to school to keeping the house un der repair to participating in com munity affairs to that common, garden variety problem of getting ahead in business. Or at least not losing ground. There is also, the sociologists say, considerable pressure on him from the head of the table where his wife sits. The problem facing men, ac cording to Dr. Clara Thompson, teacher and leader of a school of social psychiatry, "stems largely from the problems lacing i n e emancipated woman." This is no inconsiderable prob lem. It is a paradox that "the emancipation of women seems to have made men less masculine, suggests Dr. Ackerman. And if all' these shifting sands were not enough. Homo American- us still has to contend with the entertainments that portray him as a stumbling, bumbling feckless idiot. And wilh change that has severed him from an older, more stable climate. And with an enor mity of world povvcr that has robbed him of a feeling of effec tiveness, and with it, the yardstick of his own worth. In the end, the experts say, he climbs down from the 5:13 iso lated from other men, dispossessed by his women, battle-weary from a world that will neither let him Sandwich OK If All You Need Is Handy OK KG ON STATE COLLEGE I Speed up sandwich making for pic nic crowds wilh ingredients and equipment close at hand. Whether making sandwiches for five or 50, hortculs used by restaurants and other food services can make the sandwich-maker's job easier, say Oregon State College extension spe cialists. Here's what they suggest. Assemble all ingredients and equipment before starting sand wiches. Sandwiches ar e fresher ind taste better if they're niadej close to eating tune, .says Mrs. Huth Klippstein, OSC nutritionist. Soften butter or mateiarine. drain1 lettuce and make fillings. Whipped j butter, the kind used by many restaurants, spreads easily and goes further. To whip butter, soft en one pound of butter, whip in mixer. As it mixes, add three ta-l blespoons of boiling water, a few drops at a time. One pound of whipped butter will spread about 115 sandwiches. ! Vary kinds of breads and in-1 gredients for tastier sandwiches, the home economist suggests. Day- ld pullman or sandwich bread, sliced medium thin, is firm enough lor easy spreading, yet not too dry. Use a wood-topped table or cut- ling board to prepare sandwiches. Assemble other equipment: Spoon or ice cream scoop for easy-accurate measuring of sandwich mixtures; spreading knife or spat ula, long sharp knife for cutting sandwiches; waxed paper; damp towels and storage pans. Mix mayonnaise and prepared mustard together. Thin with' cream or evaporated milk if too thick for spreading. Bone "pickings" from ham or turkey make good salad fillings. Place cut sandwiches into a large pan that has been lined with damp towels and cover with waxed paper. Keep them refrigerated un til serving time. Lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini and other crisp vegetables should be packed separately in plastic bags. Add to sandwiches just before serving. To make fresh hamburger pal ties for a crowd, Mrs. Klippstein suggests use of a one-cup ice cream scoop to measure individual patties. Wood hamburger presses can be used to shape patties. -3!
