conferred itself in his hips and legs,

probably will have the full use of
them eventually. We in Gathers

more contracted the disease. One

all help with our pennies and dimes

Mental Breakdowns Found Increasing;
Psychiatrists' Advice On Prevention

Mental breakdowns are more
common now than they have ever
been before. Psychiatrists agree
that our civilization is to blame
for the fact that almost one in
every six persons in the U. S.
today is suffering from some kind
Of emotional maladjustment, says
Arthur Gordon. Writing in Red
book Magazine for November, he
tells you what the symptoms at
the breaking point are and what TO
do about them:
"Some five million Americans
are estimated to be suffering from
psychoneurosis = that is, their
everyday lives are impaired by
emotional maladjustments. Psy-
ciatrists generally agree that our
civilization is to blame, but to get
at the real trouble, why many of
US feel adrift in the world, we
probably have to dig deeper. Let
us remember that:
Il. The average person today
is dependent upon a job and a
pay check. But his ancestors lived
in the comparative security of a
family farm.
2. Today's wives are 'emanci-
pated.' But hundred years ago,
the average mother was always at
home, giving to her children a
belief that she was always there
to protect and love them.
90. Finally, to be frank, few
of us today live by a moral code
which has real teeth in it.
Occasional lapses do not mean
the breaking point is near. Neuro-
sis is near only when certain
mental troubles, repeated often,
interfere with everyday living.
Zone of the most frequent signs
of neurosis is a growing feeling
of inability to handle everyday
problems. Other signs are: irrita-
bility-fashes of rage out of pro-
portion to the cause or, indeed,
with no cause at all; worry over
trifles, fits of depression that per-

Complain OF BIO
Traffic Lights

Complaints are being made in
Gaithersburg that the signals on
the B & o crossings at both Sum-
mitt and Chestnut Streets have
been tempered with or that the
automatic control does not work.
One man was known to sit for
% minutes at Chestnut Street
waiting for the light to change
from red. He reported seeing, at
that time, a carload of boys tam
pering with the switch box until
the light then changed.
At Summit 1.-THE main crossing)
a man was waiting with a carload
of small children and light stayed
red so long he went around and
used the overhead bridge-he never
saw the light change.
There is no Waterman at Chest
nut st. at all-none on duty at
Summit after 10 p. m.
A suit is pending against the
railroad concerning objection of
Gaithersburg citizens to removal
of the Waterman at Chestnut
Street.
A check with Chief of Police
Charles M. Orme, disclosed that
his department had a complaint
on October 81 from a school bus
driver that the signal was not
working and AN officer was sent
to investigate. He reported that
there was at that time no evidence
of tampering-that the automatic
device must be at fault.

Remember that the early symp-
toms are only a warning. But if
the symptoms persist, then there
are certain. things to do = and
things not to do. First and fore

In the third place, do not con-

viewpoint will be very close to
your own. But if married partners
can share all their problems, so
much the better.
"Our first line of defense in
most cases of emotional disturb
ance today is the clergyman. The
second line of defense is the So
cial worker with psychological
training. Your doctor should be
able to tell when the emotional
condition of his patient needs
specialized treatment.
"The last line of defense against
mental disease is represented by
the fully-trained psychiatrist. Pri-
vate consultation, with one of these
physicians is usually expensive.
There are still less than 5000 psy-
chiatrists in the United States.
Many of these work in clinics and
mental hospitals, and, unfortun-
ately, have no time for private
patients"

there are things more important
in life than love. There Is duty.
There Is honor. There is the ohls-
cation that q man has 70 the child
he has brought into the world,
and II he has any sense Of these
he can find no happiness tn o
love that he has bought at the
price OF his conscience.
We can say all We please about
the right Of o man and . woman
TO live their own lives and 10 part
II they ind that they are mis-
mated or uncongenial or If they
have ceased 70 care for each other
and found somebody whom they
really love. But no sophistries
can blind us TO the harm that
Is done 10 the children who are
the real victims Of every divorce
and who are left fatherless or
motherless.
Feeling as you do. ] doubt you
viii find much happiness II you
divorce your wife and marry the
other woman. Always the face
Of the child you had deserted
would come between you and her.
And sometimes ! think we get q
clean happiness out OF doing our
duty that Is better and more sus-
tanning than any hot thrill of
passion. But God help the man
who has to decide between two
women who love him. for he Is
bound to hurt one or the other
and his own heart.
