Emotional
Folk WORRY
If They've No Real
Woes They Will
Invent Them
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

by LO1AN OLEINDENlNS, M. u.
THE STATEMENT that an alb
normal emotional state exists is not
easy to explain on any scientific
basis. The problem, first. implies a
knowledge of what constitutes a nor
NAL state of mind. This varies with
different people and different circum-
stances, or even under the same cir
cumstances.
For practical purposes. the average
person will understand what consti-
tutes the normal pattern of conduct or
reaction to a given stimulus. 1t is well
known that the average thing which
makes people laugh should not make
them cry. Furthermore. an ordinary
/ trivial annoyance. such as might oc-
cur to anyone several times a day,
! is treated as such and soon forgot.
ten. while an extremely nervous or
emotional person may. and often
does. dwell unduly upon it and worry
about it for days.
| Oftentimes nervous people become
extremely agitated over the simple
minutae of everyday life. and be-
come incapable of performing their
usual duties without suffering eX
treme fatigue. When something
really serious happens. this same
person may become calm and capable
and able to endure the greatest
shocks or hardships. Apparently the
shock of the important event or
tragedy causes them to temporarily
subdue the impulses emanating from
the emotional centers, and substitute
through the ordeal.
Reaction Causes Breakdown
Frequently the reaction carries
them to the verge of a major attack
of nerves" or nervous breakdown.
so that life becomes a series of irri-
tatlng. dramatic or tragic expert
ences. Rarely are they able to be-
come placid and relaxed. Pessimism
is the keyword of their existence;
| the feeling is constantly present that
something unpleasant is sure to hap
pen.
If. for a time, life flows on un-
eventually. as it so often does, this
is justifiable cause for unhappiness
and worry. because it is not good for
people to become too happy.
If there is no particular personal
matter to worry about. this type of
person casts an anxious eye about
his list of friends and acquaintances.
and can always find plenty to become
concerned about in a dozen places.
This type of person once inspired
wit to remark. Poor ole lady
Smith, she lived to the ripe old age
of 83 before passing to her reward;
she had a great deal of trouble all
her life. most of which never hap
| pened."
Just why some persons live largely
upon emotional impulses and suffer
from mental agitation or nervousness
is very complicated and only par.
TALLY understood matter. Certain
schools of thought believe in the
Freudan theory of juvenile repres-
sions aud nhibitions of fantastic and
often revolving nature. but a more
practical and sane theory or explana-
ton rests upon the question Of in
heritance. or acquired characteristics
| peculiar to certain families.
One often hears the expression
Like father, like son" Like mother.
like daughter" The personality

Hardly a city of more than $4,000

columns are discussed by clubs
and PIT. AS. and are used as text

Although some parents may be
confused by conflicting points of
view and types of advice. many are
undoubtedly made more conscious of
their problems as parents. more eager
to discover ways of solving them. and
are led to be more sympathetic and
considerate OF their children.
THE lovelorn column is of interest
to parents. IT reveals to them con-
siderable insight into adolescent
points of view. and affords parents
as we'll as youth a great deal of
wholesome advice.
An increasing amount of news.

programs and activities by parent

BAPT|STS DECIDE
TO PAY OFF DEBT
Only $4,000 to $4,000 Still
Needed in Drive To
Raise $1,000

Decision to carry on to the finish
with the proposed campaign for rails
ing funds to liquidate the entire
church debt was reached by the con-
gregation OF the First Baptist church
Sunday morning, and the membership
will be called upon to respond as
generously as possible to the appeal
for funds.
Last week a quiet canvass was
made of a number of church leaders,
and it was stated at the congrega-
tional meeting Sunday morning that
some 40-odd members had pledged in
excess of $1,000. The total amount
needed to retire the debt is slightly
over $1,000, it is understood.
Pledge cards passed among the
members Sunday morning netted
more than an additional $1,000, so
that only about $4,000 or a little more
is needed to complete the fund.
Workers in the campaign hoped to-
day to complete the drive during the
week and to be able to announce to
the membership next Sunday that
the sum asked for had been realized.

Post Office
RevenueFOr
Oct. $4,964
1924 Increase Over
Last Year; Year
Total May Reach
$4,000 Sum

Another large increase in receipts
was shown by the Henderson post of
flee in October over October Of last
year, leading to the probability that
the years total may hit $4,000 if the
present rate of increase is sustained
for the final two months Of the cal
endar year.
Total receipts last month amount
ed to $4,964.42, or $324.45 above the
$4,639.97 in October, 1885, and $4,43O.-
80 in September this year.
The months total brings the fig
ures to 500, 04227 for the first ten
months of 1896, as compared with
$685. 80 for the corresponding Pc
Rod of last year. Figures for 1886 are
$3,430.97 ahead of 1885.
If the present rate of increase is
maintained the years total will be
right at if not above the $4,000 level,
which would set by far a new high
peak for the Henderson office. In
1885 the total volume of business was
$45, 273.65, which stands as the high
est mark ever attained in any one
calendar year.
If an impressive showing is made
this year, it is believed that consider
able may be expected from the Post
Office Department in the way of i'm
proven service when the new post Of
flee is completed in the summer.

From 7:3O to 8 Tonight

All advocates of the Tax Reform
Amendments who will do so are
asked to meet at their precinct
polling places tonight from 7:3O
to 8 o'clock to secure volunteer
workers for the polls tomorrow.
These four amendments are be-
ing shortsightedly fought by
most men of wealth. Hence
the committee has no funds.
This is a peoples fight and
they must win it if it is won.
Even if only two or three
friends meet at any precinct to-
night let them appoint them
selves to work until other
friends can join them at the
polling places tomorrow.

meeting for November today to dis

proving the county Jail. Indications
were that the board would order an
extension built and that the present
quarters would be improved and mod

A decision had not not been made
in the matter some time after the
days session was convened, but a de-
finite program of action was expect

The Jail problem was the chief mat

Vance county voters prepared to-
day to trek to the polls tomorrow in
the general election, with indications
that a record high vote would be cast
unless the weather turned unfavor-
able overnight.
The balloting begins at sunrise and
continues through the day until sun
set, shortly after 5 o'clock in the aft
ernoon.
Registration books, which closed on
Saturday, October "a, for the enroll
ment of voters, were open last Sat

ty Board of Elections, said today he
had heard of no contests being filed,
He also seated that very few absentee
ballots haa been called for to Zee us

Voters in this county will have no
Republican county ticket to consider

House Of Representatives. They will
however, have full tickets of the two

STATE and national offices. There is
alvo the decision to be had on all
five of the proposed amendments to

Election officials did not anticipate
as much delay in counting ballots as

ligible here. Vance county normally
casts around 5000 Democratic votes
and 500 Republicans, hut there may

BUSINESS ACTIVITY
BEST FOR I YEARS
Upturn That Began lmme-
diately After Labor Day
Hits High Peak

Following is a November business
review furnished by Citizens Bank
and Trust Company:
The business upturn which began
Immediately after Labor Day has
brought industrial and commercial
activity to the highest levels since
1929. Now the automotive manufac-
turers are turning out 1887 models;
merchandise freight loalings are in
creasing and so is the production of
steel, soft soal and electric power.
These gains, together with the deve-
lopment of pre-holiday trade, should
mean further gains before the end
of the year.
Automobile makers expect sales for
the next twelve months to run at
least 10 per cent above the total for
the corresponding period just ended.
Price cuts are helping the market,
the volume of installment purchases
is holding up, and consumer buying
power seems likely to increase for
some months to come.
October's retail business showed the
largest gain in any thirty day period
since last December, urban sales in
creasing IL per cent and rural sales
II per cent. Christmas business is ex-
pected to prove the best since the rec
ord year 1929 and retailers are al
ready worrying about possible short
age in some lines of dry goods.
Food costs are up 5.4 per cent above
the level of year ago and rents ia
per cent. Living costs are SO per
cent higher than in October 1885, and
1913 per cent above the depression
low of April 1888
With the years cotton crop half
ginned, the Department of Agricul-
ture has again revised it's estimate
of the cotton crop-this time upward
Now it is promising 100000 bales,
$4,000 more than month ago. Do
nestle consumption is at the rate of
about 100000 bales a year and over
seas sales have run to 100000 so
that these next months will see a sub

Wheat prices continue strong in
view of smaller Australian and Ar

for the first time since 1928. Of the
