WORRY CLINIC

George W. Crane, Ph.D^ M.D.

Henry is a victim of “functional" stuttering. But he can stop it immediately by altering any one of the 3 corners of the "Stutter Triangle" described below. Ventriloquy, reading aloud, or use of Demosthenes' pebble strategy will change Corner No. 1. CASE Z-510: Henry G., aged 22. is a medical student. ‘‘Dr. Crane,” his father began, “Henry is a victim of stuttering. “It apparently started when he was in the 4th grade and made a slip of the tongue that caused the rest of the class to laugh. “Since he was always quiet and shy, this upset him till he blushed and tears came into his

eyes.

“The teacher was rather austere and sharp-tongued, so she added to Henry’s confusion by scolding him for what he had

said.

“And ever since then, Henry has been an unwilling slave to stuttering. “Just last week his medical professor asked the class what came to mind when a woman patient was found to have gall stones on her X-ray. “The professor called on Henry, who instantly replied, ‘F-f-fair, f-f-fat and f-f-forty,’ much to the laughter of his medical comrades. "Dr. Crane, how can Henry get over his stuttering?” STUTTER TRIANGLE Henry is addicted to functional stuttering, which is the usual kind. By contrast, organic stuttering results from actual brain damage. But the functional stutterer, like Henry, should visualize a triangle, consisting of these 3 corners that depict the exact situation at the onset of his nuisance habit: (1) Normal conversational talking; (2) In his native tongue (English here in America); (3) With human beings. Alter any one of those comers and the functional stutterer will speak smoothly! For nuisance habits, such as stuttering, are unusually specific, so they apply only to the total 3-point triangle situation and the muscles then operating when we get psychologically burned (humiliated or embarrassed).

For example, change Comer No. 1 and read aloud, which will let the stutterer immediately omit his jerky speech.

Henry thus could read aloud the phrase “Fair, fat and forty” and never stutter at all! Demosthenes varied No. 1 by placing pebbles in his mouth, which altered the original onset conditions, for when he first became a stutterer, Demosthenes wasn’t juggling pebbles on his tongue! A stutterer can also sing without difficulty or recite his memorized lines while acting in a school play. Ventriloquy also frees him from his speech problem. Even altering his pitch will do likewise. And I often have stutterers

merely bite down on the side of their tongue, holding it imprisoned between their jaw teeth as they start a sentence, and this stops their stuttering, too. Alter No. 2. as by having the victim use a foreign language, and he can speak smoothly. Moreover, stutterers can talk easily to dogs, horses or even the waves, as Demosthenes did, for this also breaks the 3rd corner of the stutter triangle. Many first cousins of vocal stuttering afflict mankind, including blushing, angina pectoris, tremor of your “writing” hand when signing

documents in public, spastic colitis and even stagefright vomiting! Nervous tension at the time the stuttering first began, also complicates the picture, so divert attention from yourself by use of the Compliment Club technique. So send for the “Compliment Club” booklet, enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 25 cents.

Terrorism, Economic Uncertainty, Loss Warfare Mark Christian World At Christmas This Year

Christmas 1973 was a holiday of more terrorism, less warfare and more economic uncertainty for the Christian world. There also were the traditional family reunions, feasting, gift-giving and prayers for peace. Road travel was light and Yule lights dim in many countries because of fuel shortages. “As he exists, man is not perfect,” Pope Paul VI told 30.000 Romans and tourists Christmas Day in St. Peter's Square. “Exalt man: you will make more evident his deficiency, his incompleteness, his inner need to be saved. We say it once and we say it in a word; his need for a savior.” Thousands jammed St. Peter’s Basilica for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses. But fewer than 4.000 persons — the smallest crowd in years — made the pilgrimage to Bethlehem because of fears of Arab terrorist attacks. The Israeli government put a heavy security guard on the little town in occupied Arab territory, and there was no violence. It was the first Christmas at peace for American soldiers in 12 years, and the first in freedom for American prisoners of war from Indochina. The Skvlab 3 astronauts walked outside their spacecraft for a better view of the comet Kohoutek and radioed to earth their hope for understanding among all

men.

President Nixon and his family spent the day at the White House, and the President had a telephone conference with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger about oil policy. A shortage of gasoline and urgings by the Nixon administration for Sunday and holiday closings shut down all but a scattering of service stations around the United States. State police said most motorists decided it was better to stay home rather than risk running out of gas. Christmas night was peaceful in London and Northern Ireland after bomb explosions Christmas Eve that killed three men and wounded 41 men and women. On Christmas Day, 200 Bel-

fast demonstrators battled police with fists and rocks, and a 63-year-old woman was shot in the mouth when she was caught between British troops and gunmen of the Irish Republican Army. Traffic from West Berlin through the Berlin Wall to East Germany was light, but officials expected thousands of West Berliners to cross today to visit relatives in the Commu-

nist East. Meanwhile, East German border guards profited from the holiday to repair five holes that West Berliners had knocked in the w'all during the year to show their anger at the barrier. The North Vietnamese News Agency said Hanoi Catholics “jubilantly celebrated Christmas against the background of a country from which the for-

eign aggressors had been driven out.” The Chilean military government, fearful of terrorist attacks, enforced tight security for the holiday. Police sources said 130 persons were arrested in Santiago for violating the 11 p.m.-5:30 a.m. curfew, and authorities said one motorist was shot and seriously wounded by a military patrol when he ignored orders to halt.

Hopkinsville Bids 'Pigeon Non Grata’

HOPKINSVILLE Ky. (AP> — Some of the bird population around Hopkinsville are strictly “pigeon non grata” since thev became suspected carriers of a respiratory-disease outbreak this year. Pigeons, says Hopkinsville City Ombudsman Barry Clark, are being trapped and exterminated at a rate that’s expected to eliminate them as a health hazard in six months. The eradication program began in November, with the hiring of a local pest exterminator to trap the birds, gas and incinerate them. Such a program was successful in Nashville, where as many as 1.800 pigeons a week were trapped. Clark says, the city is netting about 150 per week at preNent, but “the rate is picking up all the time." The trapping followed an increase in histoplasmosis in the city and county. The respiratory disease is caused by spores developing in pigeon droppings. Public attention was sharply focused on the problem when three painters working in the belfry of a Hopkinsville church where pigeons had roosted became ill-one of them severely. Two firemen who had enterd an attic where the birds nested also came down with the ailment. Clark said he thinks )0 per cent of the estimated 5,000 pigeons here can be eliminated within six months, and that

those left would not be a health hazard. Meanwhile, the battle of the birds continues on another front. The city is making war on its starling, cow-bird, grackle and red-wing blackbird population as well. About 10 million starlings roost nightly at Ft. Campbell, a few miles south of Hopkinsville. Mayor George L. Atkins Jr. has consulted Rep. Frank Stubblefield, Sen. Walter Huddleston and Sen. Marlow Cook on ways to cut red tape and get around government restrictions on chemical eradication of pests. Atkins wrote Stubblefield recently: “This problem has reached both unbelieveable and unbearable proportions here in our area. “It has reached the point where some farmers are no longer planting their winter grains because they know their entire fields will be stripped of the seeds, and that all of their efforts will be unproductive.”

Atkins said the problem is worsened by thinning of the pine groves at Ft. Campbell, where the birds roost. He said this is causing the starlings and their cousins to roost elsewhere in the area. Dr. Wade Kadel, doctor of veterinary medicine at the state’s Animal Diagnositc Laboratoy, has fixed farm losses for a recent season at 590,000 in wheat and barley and 5116,000 in young pig losses because of a viral disease caused by starlings. Dr. Kadel also noted that starlings, like pigeons, cause histoplasmosis in humans. Mayor Atkins said that Christian County reported 114 new cases of the respiratory disease in 1972 and that “the problem is getting worse.”
