The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-01-18

afraid there are quite a few of us
who would belong in the classified
ton that does entirely too much
worrying over things that we can
not help in any way. But we are
only doing ourselves a great deal of
harm by indulging in worries of this
nature. In an article that l read
some months ago there were listed
a few dont's along this line, in fact
there were ten of these dont'S, but
among them there were seven that
seemed particularly good and here
they are
l. Don't think of problems as diff
ficulties; think of them as oppor-
tunities for action.
2. After you've done your best to
deal with situation, avoid spec
ulating on the outcome. Forget it
and go on to the next thing
3. Keep busy Keep the "a hours
of your day filled with these three
ingredients: work, recreation, sleep.
Don't allow yourself time for alb
stract thinking.
4. Don't concern yourself with
things you can't do any thing about
Armchair generals don't win battles,
but they do have nervous break
downs.
5. Get up as soon as you wake up.
If you lie in bed, you may use up
as much nervous energy living your
day in advance as you would in ac-
tual accomplishment of the days
work
6. Try to arrange your schedule
so you will not have to hurry. Hur-
ry, blood brother of worry, helps
shatter poise and self confidence,
contributes to fear and anxiety.
Z. If project seems too big, break
it up into simple steps of action.
Then negotiate those steps like
rungs in a ladder-one at a time.
And don't allow yourself to think
about the difficulties of step num-
Der two until you've executed step
number one.
Of course telling mothers who
have sons in the battle lines of
Korea not to worry is Of little use,
for that mother love and thoughts
are certainly going to follow her
boy day and night when he is in
danger. Then there are the world
problems of today which can come
in for their share of worry, and yet
worry will not remedy any of these
evils, it will require our prayers,
work and full cooperation to help
climb out of a very dark situation,
We always feel quite proud of
ourselves when we turn out hand
some pie, especially if it is a cream
pie with crust tender and fiaky,
