Fight or Flight

Anthropologists believe that
the original purpose Of tension
in primitive man was to enable
him to cope with danger by
fight or flight. If he had to
make a getaway, tension would
give him super-speed, or If he
elected to stand his ground 1t
would give him super-strength.
In one Of the Sagas Of the
Old West. Frontiersman John
Golfer records an occasion
when he was pursued by Mon
tant Redskins.
He ran three miles without
feeling exhaustion. Then he
stopped and killed the only In
dian who was able to keep up
with him. Perceiving other
braves still in hot pursuit, he
ran on, as he related. with
renewed strength, feeling as If
I had not run q mile" until
all pursuers were eluded.
A classic combination Of both
fight and flight.
Today we don't have to flee
from the sabre toothed tiger
nor need we fight SavageS wait
ing to scalp US.
What makes us tense then?
Essential Function
DR.. George 8. Stevenson, of
the National Association for
Mental Health, lists threats to
our safety, well-being, happi-
ness and self-esteem: threats
like illness, accidents. violence,
financial trouble, trouble on
the job, trouble in family rela-
tons"
Tension he points out, is ian
essential function of living, Just
as hunger and thirst are"
Without 1t, I'VE would not be
prepared to avoid or overcome
situations harmful to ourselves
and our families.
Without the ability to tense
ourselves we would fall short
in emergencies, often to the
peril of our lives"
Up to now 1t would seem that
tension is all good. What's bad
about it? Excessive tension Is
bad. A certain amount Of pres
sure In a tire Is good; excess
sive pressure blows 1t out. A
certain amount Of current in
an electrical circuit is good; ex-
cessive current blows a fuse
Cor burns up the machine).
So it is with nervous tension.
When it builds up excessively
all Of its productive value is
gone. 1t becomes destructive,
usually in one Of two ways.
There is the panic reaction,
when excessive tension shows
itself in wildly disorganized ac-
ton 0ike the blowout Of a tire)
and there is the paralysis re-
action. when excessive tension
simply stops all action and the
flow of energy gives way to a
frozen numbness (like the dead
inaction Of q machine when
the fuse has blown.
If one recognizes both the
good and the bad in tension,
he is more likely to employ the
good and control the bad.
Nov, don't be nervous!"
How often we say that in our
daily lives. We say 1t to child
before a school play, to a hus-
band who is about to make a
speech, to a wife as he stands
up to hit a golf ball. We want
them to employ their abilities
with controlled confidence In
stead Of blowing fuses.
Nerves are, after all, the
transmission lines OF our per-
sonal power.
The problem is not to fight
them but to join them.
Stress" Or. Howard Rusk
OF New York, once remarked
lis really an integral part OF
life. We set our whole pattern
OF life by our stress end-point
II we hit 1t exactly, we live dy-
manic, purposeful, useful, hap
py lives. II we go over, we
break. II we stay too far I'M

Mr.. Wakefield is visiting
this country as the guest of
the American Association of
Museums. Educated at Trim
ity College, bridge,
where he studied archaeology,
he was, until l948, on the
staff of the Royal Commits
sion on Historical Monu-
ments. He Joined the staff
Of the Victoria and Albert
Museum in l948 and in 1860
assumed his current position.
The Circulation Depart
ment Of the Victoria and Al
bert Museum is concerned
with the organization of
travelling exhibits and with
the acquisition of 10Th Gen.
tury and modern works Of
art for England's leading
decorative art museum.
Mr.. Wakefield has writ
ten several books including
Nineteenth Century British
Glass" a pioneer work in the
study Of the techniques and
art Of glassmaking in Eng
land after 1900.

When Queen Victoria came
to the throne, according to
the speaker, the trend in
glass designing went to a
vertical pattern instead of
a horizontal one and in the
1840S. he said, things went
Gothic with shapes going
into curves such as in gobletS
and there we're hollows
around the widest parts of
the body"
In speaking about the early
etched glass, Mr.. Wakefield
said that the process was ac-
compliShed by first selecting
a blank piece Of glass then
dipping it in wax. Next, a
pointed instrument was used
to attain the design, then an
acid and finally the wax was
washed off. He added that
in the 1860s the acid etch-
ing became commercial and
the scratching through wax
was done mechanically.
Cameo Glass
Cameo glass didn't come to
England until almost the
end of the 18th century. ac-
cording to the speaker. He
explained this complicated
process was the use of two
layers Of glass-the white
was applied over a blue glass
and then the white was care
fully carved away. leaving
the effect against the blue.

The collecting and keep
ing historical track of British
Victorian glass is complicated
because of Victorian novel
ty"-a desire at that time of
British manufacturers and
artisans to produce new
things constantly and present
them to the public.
This was the main point
made during a lecture last
evening by Mr.. Hugh Wake
field. Keeper of Circulation of
the Victoria and Albert Mu-
scum of London.
Mr.. Wakefield gave an il
lustrated lecture on English
Victorian Glass in the audi
torium of the Freer Gallery
of Art under the sponsorship
Of Smithsonian Institution.
In describing the fact that
Victorian glass is complicated,
Mr.. Wakefield said, first at
that time there was a love of
novelty probably weakness
there were so many types OF
pieces, new design every day"
Three Basic Types
The speaker explained that
there were really three basic
types Of glass: "the expensive
and opulent-a status symbol;
the simple which was directed
by the arts and crafts move
ment. and the fancy glasses
that were bought by the
masses because they loved the
colored glass"
Mr.. Wakefield said that
cut glass was fashionable in
England until the mid-l800s
and then the trend went to
engraved glass until about
1880 when it went back to
the cut glass. The colored
glass, adapted from the Con-
tinent, first began being made
in England about l845.

Adopt Four
Resolutions
BY the Associated Press

The board of directors
of the National Federation Of
Republican Women adopted
yesterday a resolution asking
the Kennedy administration
Ito abandon its appease-

The resolution, one Of four
adopted in a break with
precedent, also urged the
administration ITO enforce

Other resolutions opposed

der Social Security, urged
Congress Ito remove tax

and asked repeal Of the law
creating the Arms Control

It was the first time in its
history that the 6l-member
board had adopted resolu-
tions at its annual policy
making meeting, and some
members protested the
change.
To meet the objections, the
board established formal pro-

A Bio
Thrill

Two local teen-age poetry
contest winners had the thrill
Of a lifetime this week when
they were given the oppor-
tunity to talk over their
aspirations with American
poet Louis Untermeyer.
Not only that. The poetry
consultant to the Library of
Congress let them in on an
important literary announce
ment.
Mr.. Untermeyer revealed
that he is editing letters
written to him over a 40
year period by the late poet
Robert Frost.
HumOr In Letters
The letters contain PHI
losophies and humor for
which the great poet Is
known and loved, but do
require explanatory notes
when tied together in book
form. Mr.. Untermeyer ex-
planned.
He said the book will be
published in time for next
Christmas.
Mr.. Untermeyer also an
nonced he will leave his
Library Of Congress post on
June to return to his writ
ing at his home in Con-
necticut.
The poetry conSultant drew
from his prolific writing ex-
perience to advise the prize
winning young poets, 16-
year-old Miss Susan Curtis
Holloway and 18 year old
Mr.. William J. Cassidy.
Although, he told them, he
was mot smart enough to 60
to college," he urged them to
do so.
After you submit your
manuscript to the publisher"
he observed, you will have
to be prepared to do some
thing If you want to eat
while your manuscript sits
on the publishers desk!"
He said that competition
for good jobs today Is 50 keen
that the employer will always
favor the college-trained in
dividual.
He admitted, however,
from his own experience, that
college is not a prerequisite
to becoming a published"
author.
Mr.. Untermeyer was one Of

teemed the two teen-agers'
poetry was the best among
80 entries from IS contest
ants in the annual literature

sored by the Washington

The meeting between the
two winners and the poet
took place at a tea this week
at the home Of Mrs. Marcella
Miller du Pont. well known
poetess and another Judge in
the NSAL contest.
The third Judge was Rich

Of every three.
Despite this upsurge in cash
buying, credit long has been q
cornerstone Of automotive pros
perity. I'm order to sustain mass
demand in the years ahead, we
will need to continue putting
heavy reliance on mass credit"
Byron Nichols, general mana
ger oi Dodge, told q credit con-
ference of the American Banker
Association January %.
Cars bought on the INSTALL
ment plan these days usually
are financed for 36 months at
comparatively moderate inter-
est rates.
In addition to ample credit
at modest terms, here are some
other factors most commonly
mentioned in support Of pres
ent predictions that new car
sales this year will equal the
seven million of 1862:
/. A constantly increasing
replacement demand. with
some 81 million cars in use,
replacement needs alone are
calculated at almost five mil
lion annually.
2. The population explosion.
This is the year the huge post
war baby crop Of 1947 becomes
old enough Tin many States to
drive, thus creating tremendous
pressure for additional cars.
3. The general multi-car
trend. More than % per cent
of all car-owning families own
two or more cars. In western
States. it's closer to 80 per
cent.
4. Continued highway con
struction. The Al ,000-mile in
terstate highway system and
progress on metropolitan free
ways makes travel by car more
attractive.
5. Worldwide demand. The
need for cars and trucks abroad
is increasing even faster than
in the United States, accelerat-
ing efforts Of the domestic
companies to expand. Chrysler
this month acquired controll-
ing interest in Simca, the
French manufacturer. with an
aim to compete against Ford
and General Motors affiliates
In the common market area
and elsewhere.
Consumer Interest
The Commerce Department
said last month it expects do
mestic auto production to rise
from SO million in 1862 to Z
million cars this year, marking
the first time "in more than a
decade that the automobile in
duStry has enjoyed two out
standing production years in
succession."
The Government agency
noted the usual reasons to sup
port its stand. adding: with
the exception of 1855, new mod
els have never created so much
consumer interest"
Sales records were set In Oc-
tober. November and the first

"In every earnest life there
are weary flats to tread, with
the heavens out Of sight no
sun, no moon - and not a tint
Of light upon the path below;
when the only guidance is the
faith of brighter hours, and the
secret Hand we are too numb
and dark to feel"
Those words were written in
the 10Th century by the Unfair
ian theologian, James Martin
eau.
They describe a condition that
is painfully familiar to every
pilgrim.
st Teresa called it "the dark
night Of the SOUL" Other saints,
less poetic, have referred to it
simply as spiritual dryness.
Their testimony is unanimous
that the darkness is apt to fall,
suddenly and unpredictably, on
those who have walked for
years in the light of faith, as
well as on those who have only
recently set their feet upon the
pathway.
1t is always a dismaying ex-
p~erience, even to veterans who
have been through it many
times before and know that it
will pass. In fact, it is prob
ably more distressing to true
saints than to the rest Of us.
The better you know God, the
more you miss the sense Of His
Presence when it is withdrawn

Baby Teeth To Be Used
In USM Research Study

HATTIESBURG (Special) =
DR.. Charles r. Brent, associate
professor Of chemistry at the I'm
iverSity of Southern Mississippi,
currently serving as chairman
Of the Civil Defense Committee
of the Mississippi Section of the
American Chemical Society, has
announced a statewide cOllec-
ton Of baby teeth for research
purposes.
The Mississippi Section Of the
American Chemical Society, in
cooperation with the Forces t
County Dental Society and ele-
mentary schools throughout Mis-
Sissippi. is engaged in collect
ing baby teeth for the analysis
Of their strontium-90 content.
The local organizations are in
volved to the extent Of distribut-
ing envelopes in which parents
will mail their children'S teeth
to Loyola University in New Or
leans.
According to the Reverend
Homer r. Jolley, S. j., chair
man Of the Loyola Department
Of Chemistry, analysis Of baby
teeth is one of the most con-
venient ways to determine the
burden in human bone of radio
active strontium-90 from low
level nuclear fallout, resulting
from high altitude tests Of years
passed.
Strontium-90 is deposited in
teeth along with calcluSm, eS-
pecially during the last months
of the prenatal period and the
first year after birth. a |
sections Of the American Chem
ical Society, the American In
Stitute Of Chemists, and h e
American Dental Association,
are assisting in the collection Of
the baby teeth in various states,
Father Jolley said.
Dental authorities claim that
the best source Of baby teeth
is among first graders. There
fore, it is planned with the CO.
operation Of the schools, to dis
tribute materials for collection
in the first grades. Self ad-
dressed mailing containers will
