Poets Who Fail Told
Not to Lose Hope

Serious readers Of poetry are
fewer in number than serious
writer's Of II. John Grove RAN
som. poet and critic, said last
night.
The new poets number many
thousands: they cannot be
counted" the professor Of Eng
lish at Kenyon College told his
audience in the Library Of Con-
gress' Coolidge Auditorium.
But there is still hope for
those who fail TO get their works
published. Poets who fail do
not thereby lose their lives" he
said. nor are they therefore
put to death. They may enter
vacations. even other advanced
and honored public ones"
The teaching profession, he
noted, is one such vocation.
What makes a good poem?
THE one indispensable proof
Of the rightness Of a poem Is
by intuition" he noted. when
the good poet or reader expert
ences 1t directly"
Mr.. Ransom, who is also the
founder and editor Of the Ken
yon Review, maintained there
are two sharp considerations
which enter into the making Of
successful poetry, whether con-
sciously or not"
The first Of these, he said. Is
the application Of reason TO a
moral situation. Otherwise.
there will be a 'blankness or In
consequence In the result"
Secondly. there must. indeed.
be a moral situation: the
moral Is never TO be emphasized
as II It we're cherished for It's
own sake. but the moral and
the situation must go tnelr way
together"
Mr.. Ransom maintained that
"there is still going 10 be q
continuity between the old
poetry and the poetry Of the

ARE not particularly revolu-

The mother. in turn. has

las brought about q reconcile
alton between Mary's mother
and father.
DR.. Plotsky admits that not
all cases have rs dramatic. or
as successful. results. Yet he
feels sure the clinic. located on
the second floor Of the Jewish
Social Service Agency at 1871
Spring road NV. Is headed IN
the right direction.
Starts ON $4,000
The agency first decided to
establish the clinic in 1855, altar
studying various reports ant
surveys on the need for Q treat
ment center for emotionally dis
turhed children in the Metro
politan Area. Aided By Sc In
dividual contributors. It raised
enough money --el40. 900 - to
operate the clinic for three
years. Actual operation began
early in 1857.
Some time this m onth,
agency officials will begin to
formulate plans for Q five-year
program TO expand clinic ia
cilities. After one years expe-
rience. all Of them agree such q
program Is an absolutely neces-
sity.
Mrs. David L. Bazelon. chair
man Of the child guidance elm
ic committee. says there Is .
need TO treat more children.
more families. The clinic. with
out any publicity since its in
ception. had ITS cases referred
TO it last year. II now has a
waiting list Of ~. II needs a
larger stan. new techniques and
Q greater variety Of treatment
services.
But. as Mrs. Bazelon says. -
clinic that Just does treatment
Is doing only half the Job. We
want to give our community
more"

Such q family-centered ap-
proach. clinic officials say. has
worked out very well in practice.
So far SO families - not just
children-have been aided.
With q stan of seven. includ-
ing a psychiatrist and q psy-
biologist. the clinic can handle
IS TO 80 cases at q time. II is
nonsectarian and inter-racial.
It's fees are based on the ability
10 pay and never exceed SIS

the treatment Is.
What sort Of problems does
the clinic handle?
Tells Case Of Mary"
Take the case Of MARY"
Psychiatric director Harold
Plotsky describes her case this
way:
When she was first referred
TO the clinic. Mary often had
arthritis attacks which hospi-
talized her. And when she was
not in the hospital. she would
have hysterical crying spells,
which prevented her mother,
separated from her father. from
getting adequate sleep for her
job.
The clinic staff members
studied Mary's case carefully
They decided their services
could help both the mother and
child. who by this time also
refused to attend school. Mary
began to receive treatment. and
Q caseworker was assigned 10
help the mother. who had seri-
Gus financial problems.
The results. says DR.. Plotsky,
have been very dramatic"
Mary. working effectively
with q visiting teacher. has
stopped her hysterical out
bursts. Soon she win be able 70

terday after they had tied in
the $4,000 Rubber City Open
with scores Of 26o-or Is under
par--for the 72-hole test.
Wall won the playoff with a
birdie on the second extra hole.
He explained it BY recalling
that ION the final round my
two playing partners. Mike
Souchak and Jack Fleck, had
puts on that second hole just
like the one / had against Dow.
I noticed that both Mike and
Jack missed their puts about
an inch to the left. So ! Just
hit mine straight at the middle
of the hole. ignoring what
looked like a bend in the green,
and the ball went in for the
birdie that wrapped it up."
Finsterwald went into the
final round four strokes behind
and was still three strokes back
OF Wall with three holes to 60.
But he birdied each Of the last
three, clirnaxing his squirt with
q 40-foot put on the 72nd hole
to force the playoff. :
Wall picked up $4,000 as he
won his fifth tournament in
nine years of campaigning. It
was the nth time in about 211
years that Finsterwald had fn-
ished second in a tournament.
