This sometimes trite phrase was
most forcibly demonstrated to be
more than a mere saying at last

Convention. DR.. D. c. Macdonald,
one of Canada's foremost psychia-

mental forces which drive men and
women in their daily activities. In
his talk, he dealt with the mind
body relationship to healthy ad-
justment and living; to the prob
lem Of emotions in respect to their
effect on interpersonal relation
ships.
The effect of a persons thoughts
on the chemical components Of
the body was graphically demon
strated in a series of reports on
experiments in this field.
There is growing evidence tc

preached through the mental

This gives promise Of an ever,
widening application of psychiatriC
treatment in all types Of illnesses
These new trends in the healing
arts were discussed before a
thousand delegates to the 1856

also featured personal appearances
by violinist, Dick Kesner, a ma.

that:

company in America, are request
ing State Insurance Commissioners
r. Britton Mcconnell to withhold
approval of a contract between
Loyal and a white group. Beigner,
Teml1in, Zislxin, and associates,
which would give the white group
control of the colored company
in return for a $4O0, 900 loan, the
Tribune was told this week.
The contract was approved by
the Loyal shareholders at a meet
ing held in Golden State auditori-
UNI last Friday evening.
The minority shareholders claim
they were 'tricked' into voting for
the contract by the statement Of
Norman o. Houston, member Of the
board of directors of Loyal, that
the insurance commissioner would
close Loyal, Monday because it did
not have enough of a reserve to
cover its policies, if they did not
vote for the contract then and
there. Houston is also president Of
Golden State Insurance Co.
1t is alleged that the 100000
shortage occurred because Thomas
J. jackson, president o the board
of directors of Loyal, borrowed the
money from the company.
Before the vote, one group Of
shareholders offered to put up
$1OO,O In cash Immediately and
to furnish the rest Of It within
two weeks, the Tribune was told,
but this assertedly was rejected.
The contract between Loyal and
the white group provides that:
Beigner, Temkin, zislrin, and asso-
ciates are to furnish Loyal with
$40o, 900 in exchange for which it is
to receive 81 percent of the stock,
about 399, 900 shares. The shares
now sell for one dollar a share.
Also, the board Of directors was
reduced from 7 to five and Beig-
ner, Temlxin, Zislxin, and associates
were given the right to name three
of the five members. The white
firm also reserved the right to fire
jackson at any time.
In spite of the fact that the
white firm got shares for its loan
Loyal is to pay it back at a rate
mot to exceed so percent Of its
profits each year at an interest of
five and one-hah percent"
Loyal must also pay a money
finder $4,000 to arrange the loan,
and is to pay. the firm of Dempsey
Tegler $500 for drawing up the
contract. Dempsey-Telger is a
large white investment firm.
Loan Unnecessary Says State
Official
A state official informed the
Tribune that the loan was unnec-
essary and that the insurance COM
missioner had not threatened to
close Loyal. He said that the re-
serve could have been covered by
reinsurance, a common practice,
or by revoking some Of the policies.

which is headquartered at 1905
