cause we have known directly
for q long time It's diligence, its
sense Of the church," its pru-
dence in acting, and we espe-
cially appreciated 1t, together
with all the bishops, during the
preparatory phase and celebra-
ton of the second Vatican ECU
menical Council.
Halls Parish Priests
We address ourselves, then,
with fatherly spirit to parish
pastors, priests and religious,
who, untiredly and silently. Of
ten lacking any help In their
loneliness, commit their lives to
extending the kingdom Of God
on earth: nor do we forget
souls consecrated to God in
prayerful immolation and in
multiple charitable activities.
At the beginning Of our pom
tifical office, which is COM
mitted to the successor of st.
Peter as Bishop Of Rome, we
cannot but turn ourself with
an affectionate embrace toward
the beloved children of the
diocese Of Rome, who have ac-
cepted with such swiftness the
pastoral enterprises of our
predecessor. And we believe
that they, answering true char
ity with charity, will continue
to give glad fruits Of virtue,
because toward them, as the
nearest (children) Of the chair
Of st. Peter, turn the eyes Of
Catholics from all over the
world.
Then moved by the sweet
ness Of memories, we send a
greeting filled with every par
ticular affection to all the most
beloved faithful Of the Am
brosian MILAN archdiocese,
who we have loved much in
these years "in the heart of
Christ Jesus phil. 1:8) and
from whom we have received
so many consultations, as from
most beloved children.
And, too, memory goes also
to our diocese Of origin (Bres-
cia), with the wish Of remain
ing always faithful to the Cos
pei Of our Lord, to what gives
honor and grace and nobility
even to the human relations
Of life.
Praises Missionaries
In particular we wish that
the brothers and children in
these regions where the church
is impeded from using its rights
feel themselves near to us.
They have been called to
participate even nearer to the
cross Of Christ, which will be
followed, We are sure, by the
radiant dawn Of resurrection.
They will finally be able to re-
turn to the full exercise Of
their pastoral ministry, which,
for its own institution, is for
the benefit not only Of individ-
ual souls, but also for the ma
tons in which it is exercised.
1t is dear to us, further, to
encourage and bless from the
depth of our heart the most
beloved missionaries, the ap-

the office which stands be-
fore us.
Ecumenical Council
The pre-eminent part Of oul
pontificate will be occupied
with the continuation Of the
second Vatican Ecumenical
Council, on which the eyes Of
all men Of good will are TO-
cused. This will be the princi-
pal work, for which we intend
to devote all the energies which
the Lord gave us so that the
Catholic church, shining over
the world as a sign to the
nations afar off (Isaias $500

efforts, following the lines set
by the great social encyclicals

Solution Of Social Problems
The certain order of love for

conquests Of space have opened

blessed by the Lord If men
know truly how to recognize
each other as brothers rather
than competitors. And build q
world order in sanity fear OF
God, in respect Of His laws, in

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: I am the
young, attractive neighbor
lady about whom worried
wife wrote. A am trying to
get a sun tan, so naturally
when the sun is hottest, l
take sun baths in my back
yard. Now, everyone knows
that If you sprinkle your
lawn in the hot sun you'll
burn up your grass. My
neighbOr goes out and
Sprinkles his back yard when
the sun is blazing just to get
his eyes full of me while I'm
out there taking my sun bath.
l assure you, his wife has
nothing to worry about as
l don't appreciate an au-
dience. Can you suggest a
way to get my message
across to him?
SUN BATHER
Call your neighbours atten-
ton TO the fact that his lawn
Is getting brown right along
with you. And suggest that
he hold off the sprinkling
until both you and the sun
have disappeared.
DEAR ABBY: We live in
a $55,OO0 home, have over
$4,000 in our savings ac-
count, my husband has $75,-
600 in Life Insurance and
we belong to the Country
Club. / suppose you're think
ing, what a lucky woman
to have a husband like that"
Well, you can have him. He's
the worlds biggest tightwad.
He never carries a penny
with him and he says that's
the best way to keep from
spending money. Our house
needs painting, and our furni-
ture is a disgrace. We drive
a 1850 car. We've been mar
ried 26 years and he's getting
tighter every year. What can

II you've lived with this
man for 20 years and haven't
been able TO loosen him up
a little, there must be some
thing wrong with your ap-
prOach. On the other hand,
few wives have the assets
you both apparently enjoy.

This Is one Of those times
that try mems souls. It's the
time Of year-or rather, one
OF the two times Of year
when women everywhere in
the United States make life
utterly miserable for their
menfolk.
That other time of torture Is
the spring. BY the time a man
has recovered from it, sum-
mer has fitted by and the
autumnal misery is upon him.
If winter has anything to rec
ommend (which is doubt
ful-it can only be that it
makes the spring house
cleaning hinge seem less hor-
rible than it really is.
The other day, l found one
Of my neighborS sitting on his
front stoop, head in hands,
looking as unhappy as II some
great catastrophe had befallen
him. And, as a matter of fact,
it had.
cts that time again." he
said when l inquired what
was troubling him. Fall
housekeeping time-and you
know what that means. The
house is as upset as If a
hurricane had just gone
through. Don't tell me it
hasn't started at your house?"
Well, as l learned all too
soon, it had. Only, at my
house it was worse because
my wife isn't content Just to
get the house clean; she has
to paint. She calls it "redeco-
rating" but that's Just a
sneaky feminine euphemism
for making the place smell
like a paint factory. If, as
Mr.. Shakespeare said, "a rose
by any other name would
smell as sweet" it's also true
that painting by any other
name is just as smelly. And,
as far as I'm concerned, the
only discernible difference be-
tween those new "odorless"
paints and the old-fashioned
kind is that they stink
differently.
Everything Matches
But, at least, my wife is
a careful painter. Some
wonderland men, too, for
that matter-splatter every
thing within ten feet Of where
they are painting. One fellow
/ know came out Of his wife's
last clean-up-paint-up orgy
with a spotted suit and several
neckties that more or less
matched. And his tan shoes,
much to his surprise, we're In
perfect harmony with the new
decor Of the bedroom. "I've
always wanted a lavendar
ROOM" his wife exclaimed.
Don't you just love it?"
My wife does very little
splattering, thank Heaven,
but she sometimes forgets to
tell me what has been painted.
The other night, for example,
after I'd made three round
trips upstairs, she said: 81
painted the stairway today.
Did you notice?"
mo-" l replied, glancing
down at my trousers legs.

Of that, but some Of the other
problems created by house

BY HOWARD WHITMAN

The first thing to do about
worry is nail down exactly
what you are worried about.
This isn't as easy as it seems.
A great many worries are
vague and iIl-defined; they fall
in the category of what psy-
chiatrists call free floating
anxiety"
When a scientist attacks a
disease, his first step is to
isolate and identify the germ or
virus which causes it. With
worry, too, the first step is to
isolate and identify the prob
lem.
"0ften times people are not
too sure what they are actually
worrying about" comments DR..
George H. Guthrey of Okla
homa City. For the last five
years DR.. Guthrey has con-
Quoted "Worry Clinics" for the
Oklahoma State Association for
Mental Health.
1--WE don't preach that worry
in itself is an unhealthy thing,
but rather that worry is often
times a healthful thing to alert
us to problems that we should
be concerned with. However, If
this becomes excessive it can,
of course, reduce our efficiency
and our state of happiness" he
comments.
Thus this first step is to put
our worries to the test. Are
they healthful worries designed
to alert us to real problems
which need attention? This we
determine by a diSpassionate
isolation.
Talk It Over
II we can't actually nail down
what we are worried about,
then we must suspect that our
worry is not of the healthful
variety and hence can reduce
our efficiency and our state Of
happiness.
In this case we would do
well to "ventilate," to clear
out the worrisome cobwebs Of
our minds by talking. AS DR..
George S. Stevenson, Of the Ma
tional Association for Mental
Health, counsels, "When some
thing worries you, talk it out.
Don't bottle it up. Confide your
worry to some level-headed
person you can trust-your hus-
band or wife, your father or

carry on.
Worries aren't always so
crucial. But whether they stem
from the largest or the smallest
concerns, the Dershimer test
can clear the air. Imagine that
the worst has happened-and 60
on from there.
The fourth thing to do about
worry is swing into action. DR..
Guthrey comments, Probably
the thing that most aggravates
and provokes worry Is. in
activity or inaction on the wor-
rier's part"
If the decision is to act now,
the action itself may remedy
the worry. Gas we start doing,
excessive worry meltS away"
comments DR.. Robert H. Felix,
chief of mental hygiene for the
United States Public Health
Service.
If the decision is that no
immediate action is necessary,
then the worry can be safely
put on the shelf, the energy
conserved until the time for
action arrives.
The Dershimer test can clear
the air in the meantime.
Imagining that the worst has
happened assures us that we
can cope with the worst; we
are not going to stew over it
and die a thousand deaths
and the worst probably isn't
going to happen anyway!

Talking things out helps
to relieve your strain"
Many surveys of worry have
been made; uniformly they re-
veal that 80 to 80 per cent Of
the things people worry about
never actually happen. Try this
shoe on your own worries; see
if it fits.
Is 1t Important?
The second thing to do about
worry is to place what you
are worrying about on a scale
of values. What is its relative
Importance in the entire design
of your life?
One man who was worried
about a hundred little details
of living was finally brought
to a sense Of proportion by
a counselor who asked these
simple questions: do you have
a place to sleep tonight? Are
you in reasonably good health?
Do you know where your next
meal Is coming FROM"
When the answer was an easy
affirmative to all three, it
quickly dawned on the man
that the things he was worried
about were small potatoes In
deed.
Sometimes free floating
anxiety" the basic anxiety Of
human beings, finds a focal
point. It breaks through to the
surface, much as infection in
the system might break through
to the surface in the form Of
a boil. We find that we are
worrying excessively about one
thing, and perhaps it's not even
an important thing. It simply
keeps troubling us. 1t will not
60 away.
The French call the object
which causes this kind Of per-
Sistent botheration a "bete

marked, II suppose / really do

worry about, but the thing that
