HEALTH CENTERS


Editor, The Times: What Use
shall be made of the three mill
levy? II any one should men,
ton health centers he would
most likely be floored and brand
ed a communist. And all the
while we listen complacently to
repeated reports. New High for
Epidemics," Crime and Insanity
Increasing by Leaps and Bounds
etc. Such reports in the face
of new high in state and fed
eral spending as well as new
high in scientific knowledge tells
me that we need to shake our
selves loose from the old hitch
ing post and take a look at the
situation from an entirely diff
ferent angle.
The A. NJ. A. may control a
drug trust or hospital trust
or even a disease trust. But
there is no such thing as a
health trust. And that is what
all of us common folk are most
interested in. Even the jobs
available to working men by
building new wings on the
county hospital is not the impor-
tant thing. The important thing
today is health, health of body
and mind.
The county hospital needs
proper equipment. But does it
need wings when there are va
cant wings in the private hospi-
tails? Why should not the hos
pital trust be willing TO CO.
operate with state and county
welfare agencies for the use Of
their unoccupied space?
This nation will prosper and
have peace when the mass Of
people who are now forced TO
drift with the tide are educated
in the fundamental truths of life,
when health is recognized as a
birthright and when we have
centers designed from the begin
ming for the purpose of main
tanning health.
I envisage the time when hos
pitfalls as We know them today
will be used for operations and
disease only. And will be staff
ed by doctors hired by the state.
The old NJ. DIS, experts in their
profession. and stand-pst nurses.
robots Of technical efficiency,
win sit by the bedside Of the
dying trust while new doctors
and nurses who are human and
pliable in mind will interest
themselves In constructive pro-
grams on the health side Of life
When that time comes we will
have community health centers,
guided by men and women who
think in terms Of health. beauty.
peace and well-being for all Of
humanity.

be able TO get some advice from

HOROSCOPE
SUNDAY, MARCH II

Conflicting aspects appear In
the horoscope today. Under this
configuration restiveness under
direction will be marked. Per-
sons in authority may be Sc
verely criticized. Changes in
government, military and naval
leaders in the United States and
Europe are prognosticated. In
tensive power of Mars is indi-
Gated.
Heart and Home: The Moon in
Cancer which governs maternal
functions and instincts gives
promise Of intensified interest
in the family and its aspirations.
although there may be lack OF
harmony In the domestic circle.
This Is a day favorable for re-
lease from material limitations
and should be fortunate for the
church and the clergy. Aged
persons are well directed by the
stars. Their counsel should be
sought.
International Affairs: Island
possessions will assume import
ance and will cause anxiety in
Washington as enemy naval OPP
erRtions continue to be dis
astrous. There is a sign warn
ing that tho United States will
require two strong navies. The
seers seem to foresee the need
of small vessels in great num-
bers. Diplomats will undergo
supreme tests in which Ameri-
can ENJOYS will prove their
ability.
Persons whose birthdate II is
have the augury OF a year Of
gain and progress, but love az
fairs may be Disappointing. Ro-
nance will be absorbing to the
young and the middle aged.
Children born on this day
probably will be brilliant in
mind and individual in character.
They will succeed in the learned
professions, but may be I'M
lucky in love affairs.

Child Welfare
Psychia+rist Has a
Few Words for Parents
Finds Some Virtue in
Plain Common Sense

lust as parenthood seems
- about to be overwhelmed in
a maelstrom of PHILOSOPHERS and
theories for rearing children,
there comes one who speaks
with authority concerning the
efficacy of some of the methods
by which the stalwarts of pres
ent generations have reached
maturity. He is DR.. Leo Hammer,
associate professor of psychiatry
at Johns Hopkins hospital. DR..
Hammer expressed his opinions
recently before a child study
group in the east. He started
the tongues wagging by his
championship of parents against
the Toms, Dicks and Harrys and
those who make a lot of hard
and fast rules for the guidance
of parents. Never having had
any children of their own they
are not hampered by experience
nor facts and therefore have a
good deal of latitude.
II the strange and con-
flicting PHILOSOPHERS and
doctrines did nothing but
confuse parents, 1t wouldn't
he 80 serious. The worst of
II Is that so many parents
are stampeded into allowing
their children to be used as
guinea pigs.
AS DR.. Hammer points out. one
school says keep the baby from
sucking his fingers or his jaw
will be badly deformed. Another
says let him suck his fingers or
you will plant disturbing inhibi-
tons. Condition the child at an
early age or his habits will be
disorganized; don't try to train
him or you will develop evil hab-
its of repression. Be affectionate
or he will feel Insecure in his
family relationships; don't show
him much affection or he will
want to stay tied to your apron
strings.

Wise parents, says DR.. Kanne
do not allow the divergent phi

that they have become parent
does not cause them to suddenlI

Objectionable habits by actin
calmly in a way that has bee
found to produce a satisfactorI
state of well being. They prad|
tise prevention by feeding, train

the child in wholesome, ra|
tional manner.
They know that beating Is
always a sign of poor re-
sourcefulness. They avoid
fussing, yelling, nagging,
threatening, and do not col
lapse in remorse because Of
a simple transgression. They
meet resistance with firm
ness, not with counter re-
slstance. Above all, they cul-
tiyate a spirit of good ma
tured humor - the kind OF
humor that relaxes tension,
diverts from aggressiveness
and relieves embarrassment.
These wise parents, DR.. Kan
ner continues, let the child learI
