scale of values.
A third thing to do about
worry is to give it the der.
sinner test" This is a little
test l have named after DR.
Frederick Dershimer, former
chief of industrial psychiatry
for the Du Pont Co. It was one
Of the techniques he used in
helping people with emotional
upsets.
Imagine the Worst
Imagine that the worst has
happened" This is the nugget
Of the DerShimer test. Here's
how it worked out in a specific
case:
During the Korean War a
young woman in Du Points
clerical department was in an
emotional maelstrom about her
husband, who was at the front.
At first she told DIR. Dershimer
she was worried about what
might happen to her husband.
But after a probing inter-
change, she admitted that what
really bothered her was what
would happen to her If anything
happened to him.
Now that she had cleared
away the mists of self-de-
ception, she was ready to 60
on. She was also ready to ac-
cept the fact that her feelings
were quite normal. Emotionally
she was simply looking out for
her welfare; her emotions were
serving the basic human need:
Sef-preservation.
"Al right, now. Imagine that
the worst has happened" DR..
DerShimer told her. She SAT
back in her chair, closed her
eyes, imagined that her hus.
band had been killed.
''Is that really the worst?"
She acknowledged that it would
be worse to have him return
a helpless invalid, still worse
to have him return hopelessly
insane.
"All right. Imagine It," She
sat back quietly again, let her
imagination create the worst Of
all the possibilities and tried
to feel the free flow of emo.

The number seven plays a

of the seventh month a holy
observance was ordained, ano

days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days. warning

eminent wisdom. In short, there
is no other number which en-

popularity of the number and
the superstition which are con-

wide use In the Bible.
