Democrat To Publish Dr. Fosdicks Famous Book "On Being A Real Person. Starting Monday, Nov. IS

years ago when he first announced definite conference hours for peo- ole to talk over their individual problems, he soon found he had undertaken more than he bargain ed for.
 Having received my education in pre-psychiatric days when the academic study of psychology was very dry and formal discipline, and such matters as mental ther- apy, so far as recall, were never even mentioned in college or semi nary I was utterly untrained for personal counseling, Dr. Fosdick writes in an introduction to the book. Some cases, of course, or dinary good sense could deal with, and some were concerned with familiar problems of religious faith, but there were many others, the like of which I had not even known existed, whose genesis and diagnosis I could not guess, and before which stood helpless. fearing rightly that I might do more harm than good"
 Noted Doctor Aided Him
 Realizing he must have help, Dr Fosdick consulted his friend, Dr Thomas w. Salmon, then the leading pioneer in the field of men, tai hygiene. He tells how Dr. Sal mon aided him in case after case with his diagnoses and therapies. adding that Dr. Salmon "opened a new world" to him.
 "When I undertook the pastorate at the Riverside Church, Dr. Sal- mon and I hoped to have clinic there, where" he writes, "the re- sources of medical science and Christian ministry would be com bined in the relp of troubled minds, but his untimely death prevented that plans fruition. Since then I have constantly utilized the increas- ing resources of psychiatric service in New York.
 T have never been able to give myself to this work as once dream ed I might, but a steady stream of troubled minds and disturbed emotions seeking help has willy nilly kept me at it, and nothing in my ministry gives me more satis- faction now than the memory of some of the results"
 Why Book Was Written
 More than once in writing the book, pr. Fosdick said, he asked himself If for whom the book was being written. He gives this reply in the introduction:
 q have pictured its readers in terms of the many, diverse indi- yiduals who have come to me for help. Here I have tried to set down what I have seen going on inside real people, have endeavored to describe their familiar mental and emotional maladies, their alibis and rationalizations, their ingenious, un- conscious tricks of evasion and escape, their handling of fear, anxiety, guilt, and humiliation their compensations and sublima- tions also and the positive faiths and resources from which I have seen help come. AS I look over my manuscript, see that I have gone on trying to be personal counselor in this book, habitually thinking, as I wrote, of typical individuals who have consulted me. They make up a fascinating company, and this book is altogether for them.

 Fathers are usually firmer in put ting down a parental foot than are mothers, who surrender easily to the overworked plea of the adol- escent: "All the other kids gre go- ing"
 In fact, if a mother senses that the mothers of her child's friends may feel very much as she does about pastimes or companions, she would be smart to get toSc ther with the other mothers and SUI -c- a set of rules which all would agree to enforce.
 An adolescent in the household should be made to feel some responsibility for holding the fam lily together and carrying on in the way Dad would like" If a mother can make her child feel responsible for doing well at school and helping out home while the head of the family IS away, she, of course, won't have any real problems on her hands.
 If possible, the adolescent should stay on in the same town and in the same school, rather than being

 Telling an adolescent that such fears are silly doesn't help bit. If he confesses that he is upset over the prospect of a change, the best thing is to avoid uprooting l.im un- less 1t is absolutely necessary.
 GET HELP FRON MEN
 A mother with an adolescent son may have to get some help from a man relative or friends of the fam fly if the boy is headstrong and go- mig through a stage when he doesn't think women know any thing about mems affair-such as his bright idea that he will quit school and get job.
 No mother wants to worry her soldier husband about her troubles with the children, but if they are important she should tell him, so that he can write to them about their problems. It would be an un- usually headstrong boy who would continue to cut classes If his un- iformed Dad wrote him the right kind of letter.
 Whether or not she ever has done so before, the mother should keen in touch with her child's teachers-not in a way that will embarrass the child - but through PTA meetings and seemingly cas- ual contacts.
 And, she should try to under stand her adolescent child - really understand him, even if it means following his favorite comic strips, listening to his favorte records, getting acquainted with his favorite radio comedians. She doesn't have to talk his language-but she should be able to understand it if she wants to understand her child.

there was a cruiser which carried
four seaplanes, but they weren't wor-
ried about it. But that afternoon
reports had come in giving the prog
ress of the Jap destroyers. Obvi-
ously they were heading toward
Cebu. Maybe they had broken down
our American codes and knew
about the interisland steamers, and
were coming in either to blockade
them or to shell them at the dock.
"Why couldn't we have part in
this great offensive which tomor-
row was to sweep up and blast Jap
shipping and warships between Min
danao, Cebu, and Bataan?" Lieuten-
ant Kelly thought, eve could be
helpful by going out tonight and
knocking off one or both of those
Jap destroyers, which by midnight
should be approaching the narrow
channel between Cebu and Negros
Islands. The cruiser-never mind

"Bulkeley came in at eight O'Clock

said Kelly. my boat had been in
the water just four hours-she was
supposed to soak for twenty-four

pounding, but I asked him if we

Blackleg in Cattle Caused
By Bacteria in Ground

The blackleg disease, which affects
cattle, sheep and goats, is becoming
more prevalent. The trouble is wide
spread in livestock areas, especially in
the range country" and in the Mis-
sissippi valley.
The disease is caused by a spore-
forming germ or bacteria, experts say.
The spore lives in the soil and, once a
pasture area is infected, the disease is
liable to reappear yearly in susceptible
animals, unless they are vaccinated.
The losses are largely in cattle.
The disease attacks cattle from four
months to two years of age, and the
first noticeable symptom is lameness.
This is generally followed by swell
ing, with high temperature and
marked depression, usually resulting
in death within few days.
Although treatment for this disease
is not highly successful, veterinarians
have saved some animals by using
large amounts of black leg serum.
Where the disease is known to exist,
the animals should be vaccinated in
late winter or the early spring months.
Experience shows that an occasional
death follows vaccination.

Paint Increases Illumination

The wartime urge for conservation
of both human health and energy as
well as of material things has greatly
stimulated recognition of the use of
color in conjunction with modern
lighting equipment for better illumi-
nation. One prescription by lighting
experts, cited by the Federal Housing
administration, suggests the refinish-
ing of dark or dingy ceiling with a
white or light ivory paint Sidewalks
may be refinished with a slightly
darker paint, such as light green, with
65 per cent reflection, while all hori-
zontal surfaces-benches, chairs, ta-
bles and floors-can be finished with
paint of at least 40 per cent reflec-
ton facotr, according to the steps out
lined at a recent convention of lighting
experts.
