Clothes Drive
Week toOpen

Operation Clothes Closet. "
the ninth annual Thanksgiving
clothing campaign of the Amer
lean Catholic Bishops. will
open here tomorrow and con-
tinue through next Saturday
The Right Rev. Msgr. Joseph
F. Denges, director of the cam
paign for the Archdiocese of
Washington, has announced
that collection centers are being
established in every Catholic
church and will be stated by
hundreds of men and women
volunteers.
In an appeal to Catholics
to support the clothing drive
in the Washington area, the
Most Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle,
Archbishop of Washington,
said:
ITO the millions in areas of
need who cannot afford to buy
them, such gifts not only pro-
vide bodily protection against
cold and disease but make it
possible for breadwinnerS to
continue to work, children to
go to school, infants to survive,
and many others persons to be
adequately clothed again S t
freezing weather"
Sponsored by the Catholic
Relief Services-National Catho-
lie Welfare Conference, the
campaign seeks articles that
can be distributed to millions
of needy war refugees and
other distressed persons in
many parts of the world.
Last year, according to Msgr.
Denges, the drive set a record
resulting in the shipment of
more than 1875 million pounds
of material abroad.

THE POWER OF FAITH

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year,
many people throughout the world will be reading
the same passage in the Bible each day Now spread
to so countries the idea started IA years ago when
a lonely Marine on Guadalcanal wrote home with
an inspiring request. He asked his mother to have
the family join him the distance of continents
by reading with him the same passages in the Bible
each day. His mother reayed the idea to the Ameri
can Bible Society in Philadelphia, which adopted
the program and chose the Thanksgiving to Christ
mas period for the readings. This year President
Eisenhower is honorary chairman of the sponsoring
committee -Howard Brodie, AP Newsfeatures.

READERS LETTER

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: am
very self-conscious and have de-
veloped an interiority complex.
1t Is very hard for me to get out
among people. Especially If I go
somewhere where have to sit
still. I am married, am rs years
old and have two daughters.
I often get a shortness OF
breath and terrible feeling in
my stomach. ! have a fear of
people or something. have had
choking sensations. and feel as
though ! would faint.
In the last year or two I have
felt afraid to stay at home by
myself. It is hard to explain,
but I become afraid and get
panicky. I don't know why.
certainly don't have anything to
fear. Only. I just don't feel nor
NAL like other people.
Up until was Is / felt per-
fectly normal. One day in school
/ had to 60 UP in front Of the
class and read. A funny feeling
came over me and couldn't
finish. From that time on
have been very shy and self
conscious. When I was called on
TO. give an answer or explain
something ! folded up inside.
Even II I had the answer !
would tell the teacher / didn't
know. That fear seems to have
grown. ] didn't tell my folks how
felt because I knew they would
just laugh at me.
have never forgotten that
incident In school and / have
thought and thought Of some
answer, but I haven't. been able
TO explain 1t. It seems silly to
have gone all these years with
out doing something about II.
! have never even mentioned II
to q doctor. But I've Just got TO
do something. AS you wrote once
In one Of your columns. life is
relatively short, and we should
try to be as healthy and happy
as we can.
I'm only 20. I'd like to have
at least a few happy years. II
not entirely for my own sake. I'd
like to be well and happy for the
sake Of my family. Mrs. x.
DOCTORS COMMENT

1t was a touching tribute to

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Bosses May Find Gold
In Referees REFUGE

There should be access to the
room that does not pass. by for
mer co-workers to save the
face Of the pensioner and the ef-
ficiency Of the worker.
2. There should be things in
the room to occupy the mind Of
the retired employe Of this par
ticular company. If it is a fac
tory, there should be machinery
for turning out things, or maybe
a machine tool for turning out
machine parts. If this is an ad-
vertising agency. there should
be drawing boards and pencils.
II this is wholesale or retail
establishment. there should be
books and literature on sales
promotion. samples of new prod
ucts. and tools for devising mail
order campaigns. What the
heart has lived with 20 or 80
years is what it will lean to most
readily after IS.
Don't Mix Ranks
3. The refuge should have a
uniform social consciousness.
If some retired employees wore
blue pants and washed floors,
and others wore Ivy League suits
and made speeches. don't try to
mix them. Have separate
refugees or be prepared for the
blue pants to be your only Gus
toners.
Don't blame me for that.
Blame people.
4. Keep the company nurse
out of the place, unless she's
called. Keep the eager beavers
from the personnel department
out. And don't let the company
social director or anybody in a
similar capacity get on the same
floor. If the number of en-
ployes who come back is large
enough. let some mature execI-
tive go down some morning and
suggest they organize into some
sort Of club. with dinners. He'll
be smart enough to start the ball
rolling and leave.
S. Have somebody with a little
sense keep an eye on what goes
on in the refuge. Any day one

have sisters Of 10 and 20 and a
brother Of 81. With them and
my parents have five bosses.
Every bit Of food I eat. the
entire family is down on me.
They keep telling me I'm getting
fat and pimply. When I go out of
the house. I have to pass in
spection. My brother soeers at
my makeup. my sisters scream
at my hairdo. my father laughs
at my dress and my mother
complains that I haven't washed
behind my ears.
It's getting so that / hate to
come home. With my friends
I'm happy. They don't seem to
think I'm such a freak. Only my
family thinks so.
Mrs. d. M.-Flora is so sem
sative she takes the least word
to heart and bursts into tears if
anyone says anything to her. 1t
happens that her sisters have
had weight and skin problems
and are very conscious Of diet.
They are trying to help Flora so
she won't develop any OF the
problems they've had.
AS far as her appearance is
concerned, Flora is really very
strange. I haven't had this prob
lem with the older girls. Flora
seems to have no sense Of what
looks well on her. She gets her
self up in a way that can only
be described as freakish. Every
day she tries a newer, crazier
hairdo and makeup. She seems
to be trying to Initiate different
movie actresses. We can't let her
go out looking as crazy as she
sometimes makes herself.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Wel1l side with Flora and
agree that five bosses are too
many.
Flora has a right to personal
privacy as far as her appearance
is concerned. When she expert
ments with clothes and make
up. she is really trying to find
the personality that makes her
feel happiest and most at home
in the world.
1t may be painful to the fam
lily but Flora should be allowed
to 60 out looking like a freak
II she chooses to. Let her see
how people react to her. II IL
makes her uncomfortable
enough. she'll change. II she Is
made uncomfortable, 1t may be
that the family's ideas about
good taste are out Of step with
the world.
As far as food is concerned
there Is a very simple solution
to the problem. Mrs. D. M
should not serve things that
could cause skin and weight
problems. A healful diet fol
adolescents is healthful fol
adults as well. The sacrifice OF
rich. hig h-caloried foods
shouldn't be too painful since
1t will also achieve peace at the
dinner table.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Fear Can Be as Real as Disease
By Or. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Mrs. x. Some have been APP
parently well until their twenties
or thirties and they suddenly
have an acute anxiety attack:
rapid heart action, palpitation,
faintness and giddiness, and the
fear they are going to die. This
may pass over within minutes or
hours. but it leaves them with a
chronic fear" such as Mrs. x.
described.
Usually. these people have been
under daily emotional strain
For example. Mrs. x. may have
been witness. as a growing
Child. to many intermarital
clashes and crises; or she may
have been the butt Of unlovine
parents; or the daughter Of an
alcoholic father who constantly
had the family in tuunoil. How
ever. sometimes it occurs in
people who have no idea what
soever Of the underlying reason
for the nervous feelings.
In the case OF Mrs. x, It Is
certainly about time that she put
herself into the hands OF kind
ly and sympathetic physician
She has fought it out alone Ions
enough. She needs a complete
physical to rule out any organic
disease. II she is physically
healthy, then she needs patient
handling by a doctor who realizes
that mental and emotional SUI.
fering can sometimes be more
unbearable than physical pain
She should shun any doctor who
pats her on the back and says.

There was Charlie Pearl, q
Jew. Charlie owned a candy
store. The morning that a Catho-
lie orphanage burned down.
Charlie shut his store, got into
his car, helped get the children
out of the orphanage, brow
beat a restaurateur into donating
20 gallons of hot soup, and went
out to a farm market and came
back with load of vegetables.
Charlie was in debt. He needed
the pennies from the store.
And then there was Garry Por-
ter. a Seventh-day Adventist.
She was q plain woman who

that some doctors were willing

her. Especially to those.

To those business firms that
genuinely want to contribute to
the Golden Years of their en-
ployes, here is a message:
Set up somewhere on the
premises a room your retired
people can come back to. Put in
it a job they can do. Give them
a key so they can come any hour
of the day they want to and stay
as long as they want. Then don't
bother them.
This is rather q big order, but
most business firms could man.
age it, what with the taxes, for
not much cost. There would be
no tangible returns to the COM
pany i. unless perhaps some
ideas or inventions came vol
UNFAIRLY out Of the room to the
boss.
Men and women face some
problems when they 60 into re-
tirement that the pension and
Social Security. no matter how
large. can't solve. One of these
is a feeling Of not belonging
anywhere, and another is no.
where but the park to 60.
Somewhere to Go
Women shut themselves up in
their home in loneliness. Men
rattle around a daytime house
that is strange to them, get in
the way Of their wives, and long
flor the Importance and the ex-
cuse of having somewhere to go.
Both the men and women
lean with strong emotions to-
ward the place where they
worked. But however much they
want to 60 back and hang
around, most of them have too
much sense to do it.
/ Many business executives,
even though humane, seldom
realize how tragic these nom
money problems are. If they did.
they would not know where to
start. Here are some suggestions
that may help:
