Emotional Upsets Can Be Serious Problem

By Herman N, Bundesen, M. 0. CHILDREN dijring the pre-school ■ and early school years are subject to many nmotlonal upsets. Emotional disturbances in certain child-, ren may lead to the development of a condition calW hysteria This may be manifested by such things as lack Os emotional control, crying, or screaming Often, the younger child may have symptoms like those of certain sicknesses, such as aidosls or migraine, diarrhea or obdpmlnal symptoms like those of | appendicitis. These symptoms are particularly noticeable in the period before maturity. During the maturing time, or adolescence, other symptoms, such as fainting, loss of memory, paresis or loss of function of certain muscles, may appear. The treatment of hysteria requires a ktudy of the child's temperament and the things which have led to a feeling of insecurity In many cases, the symptoms develop because of Improper environment in the home. If the parents are * quarrelsome or under economic strain, if the mother is irritable, over-protective or neglectful, misbehavior in the forth hvster.a may occur Bullying or teasing child ren may also'cause emotional disturbances. When parents show anxiety or great concern over these symptoms of hysteria, the child is quite likely to continue them. If the parents can adopt the proper matter-of-fact attitude toward the condition and j

In the United States last year in which Red Cross gave assistance, disasters destroyed and damaged I SS.4DO buildings, killed 592 persons an injured 4,064. American Red 1 Cross disaster relief includes ret pair or rebuilding of homes when r the victim's resources are insufr t ficient, provision for long-term medical help often needed by the t seriously injured, and assistance in re-establishment of earning pow- ’ er. Help your neighbor in need. Give to the 1949 Red Cross Fund Campaign. —o—i The rocket experimenters sug-j 1 gest they will be able to fire a rocket 500 miles this year. But i where can they try it out? Ob- > viously the thing cannot be launchi ed casually from experiment I grounds in the southwestern dei sert, because it might travel be- | yond and land in some populated > area. The solution seems to be to , establish a launching base on the '' coast and fire the rocket out to! sea. Even that is risky if the rocket may come down anywhere ' within 500 miles. There just isn't any point in the country from which there is a 3,000-mile lane of land or water which is clear of inhabitants or traffic. o o Raising Revenue: Governor Schricker and the Democratic House are. making headway in their effort to have the legislature approve a bill for the raising of money to pay the soldi levs' bonus through increased gross I income rates. The Republican Sen-' ate is sponsoring a sales tax law,, more largely opposed by merchant and shopper, than the gross in-' come, tax boost plan. Commenting on the revenue-rais- I ing measures, the Indianapolis! Star, warns against legalized ganib-j Ing in the state, as a means of paying the bonus. Says the newspaper: The gamblers are certainly trying tn take advantage of the confused veterans’ bonus question in | order to get legalized gambling in j Indiana. Bills to legalize slot machines and parimutuel betting! have been introduced with the! ostensible purpose of paying the veterans' bonus. Doubtless these 1 bills will fail to pass, but the very fact that they have been seriously considered is surprising. I Legalized gambling never solves anything. It creates only greater’ power for gambling operators over the political structure of the state. The more gambling there is, the more money the big operators get and the easier it is for them to bribe public officials. This has' been the history of every state that legalized gambling.

1 the home conditions are made sat- ; isfaetory, the hysteria usually disappears. There are other measures, too, which may be helpful in the young er child. The child should be given such toys as a sandbox, water, dolls, toy animals, blocks, and objects which can be hammered or destroyed. so that he may express his feelings through their use. The child who vomits or has headaches when faced with new tasks must be encouraged or reassured. He should not be forced Into any situation which would lead to a mental breakdown. During a screaming attack or temper tantrum, the child's attention should be diverted in any way possible. He should not be excited before bedtime. The child with hysteria needs special study by a specialist so that the condition can be eradicated as quickly as possible. Early and proper treatment in these conditions may often save much trouble in years to come QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS B. A.: Will you please tell me what to do for varicose reins? Answer: The injection treatment for varicose veins is suitable under proper conditions. In other circumI stances, simple support with elastic stocking or bandages is sufficient In still other cases, surgical removal is necessary. You should consult yotlr own physician concerning the most suitable tt taluicnt.ta your case. |

, CHAPTER FORTY-TWO , DONNA'S eyes, without a fleeting glance in Mark’s direction, were riveted to her mother, now showing uncertainty and frighL ”1 know,” she said. 'Til tell Dad Mark and 1 are going to be married. I’ll tell him I've quit my job and moved back home and Mark and I are going to be married the minute he gets here. That ought to do it” ■ “Won’t he be surprised at our i being in such a hurry after all these years?” Mark wondered I mildly. •'He knows how 1 am," Donna said. “For eight years he has been expecting IL You couldn't consider it much of a hurry after waiting eight years." Her eyes did not waver from her mother's face. •'No," she said slowly, speaking with difficulty, "he wouldn't be surprised at anything Donna does." Donna turned to Mark triumphantly. "You see? And 1 thought of it myself!" “Yes," Mrs. Collwell continued, “1 think he would come for that It Donna asked him. But, oh, my dears,” she said sadly, "I’m afraid to think of what he will do when he gets here and finds out it was all a hoax and we have tricked him. He will blame me, too, for telling you. He will never forgive any of us tor doing a thing like that Even to save his life. I can't bear to think of what he I might da" Donna moistened her pale, parched lips. "It will not be a hoax. Mother. We’ll do it We'll go right through with it I'll resign my job first thing in the morning. I'll bring my things home from the apartment We’ll go through with it as soon as he gets here.” "You mean you’ll go through with getting married as soon as ne gets here?” Mark asked cautiously, though his eyes were glinting. "Yes. As soon as he gets here.” "1 won't,” Mark said. "I'm willing to hoax him long enough to get him home and talk some sense into him. Once we get hold ot him we can make him see it's all right for a nice guy to nake a fool of himself once m a lifetime, but once is enough. But no marriage. Not with me as the party of the second parL That's out" Donna gazed at him, wide-eyed, unbelieving. "Mark!” "1 haven’t forgotten the blueprint you gave me of your future marriage. It’s not my idea of marriage. Count me ouL I'm willing to do a lot for Dad Collwell but no marriage mortgage on my future." ”1 didn’t mean you, Mark. That's why 1 wouldn’t marry you when I had—those feelings. Mother, didn’t 1 say that" Isn't that why I wouldn’t marry Mark?" “Yes, that’s true, Mark. She said she couldn't do that to you." “Didn't 1 say 1 couldn’t do it to anybody I loved and that’s why , Never mind that Isn’t that what I said, Mother?" “Yes. that’s what you said." “Mark, since 1 was sixteen years old, have I ever denied to you or to anybody else that I love you devotedly?" "No," he admitted. "You never denied that You just didn't love me enough, that’s all" That's what Alan says," Mrs. .Collwell began. But Donna Interrupted her. “You see. Mark? You see! It’s going to Work! It’s beginning to work already. She’s speaking of Dad in the present tense again* She knows it’s going to work. Where’s my engagement ring?" “I don’t lug it around with me every place 1 go," he said indignantly. “How did 1 know I was going to find a Anger to wear it?" “Bring it tomorrow. Get me a wedding ring, toa And none of us must ever breathe a word of this to anybody on earth. Our wedding has got to be just as authentic as his acddspL The poor dumb duck! Let him keep on living in a fool's paradise if he wants ta" And then she added, with a break in her voice, “But please, dear God, let him keep on living." As a betrothal. It was grotesque and fantastic. There was more of I aadnaaa ft n than of joy. AJ-

though Donna’s lips met Mark’s with responsive tenderness, there was more of fright and foreboding than ecstasy in their cold clingingness. Mark thought often without envy of the exultant, joyous oneness of Sammy and the Reverend Red. Theirs was a rare and unique unity. He did not begrudge them their precious heritage. They had worked and sacrificed and studied to attain their harmony. They had earned it He and Dohna had yet much to learn ot love and of each other. Tuesday morning brought disappointing news from the detective agency. Their operatives, both in SL Louis and Minneapolis, had been unable to discover any trace of *.he missing Alan CollwelL Mark told them tersely to keep trying. He telephoned his secretary jhat he would not be in until one o'clock and then but briefly and gave her the Collwell number for emergency calls. Donna telephoned her radio bureau and tendered her resignation. When offered the flattering alternative of a vacation and a raise tn salary, she declined without equivocation. She said she was through working. Again the morning mail was awaited with the painful blending of hope and dread and when the postman came neither Donna nor her mother ventured to receive iL Mark brought it in, skimmed hurriedly through it and, to ease the fear that gnawed at Donna's eyes, said quickly, "Nothing for you, Donna! Not a thing." Cheerfully he added, “Here's one from Dad for you, Mother CollwelL From SL Louis. So he went there first” Mrs. Collwell opened it hurriedly, with shaking fingers, conscious of the eyes intent upon her. “Oh, Forrest!" she ejaculated. That's the name of the man in SL Louis. J knew it had something to do with trees.” Donna's shuddering gasp was her only comment "There's nothing important In ' it," Mrs. Collwell said brightly. "Shall 1 read it to you?" And taking their breathless attention for acquiescence she read slowly. “'Dear Jeanie: Writing this in SL Louis station waiting for train for Min.' He means Minneapolis, ‘ ol course. He always abbreviates big words. ’Forrest met me Sunday a. m. and took me out to his place. Very nice place. Nice family. No trouble at all about the stock.

Evidently he is really going there." He tossed the letter to Donna i and went to the den to put his call through. "Anyhow, nothing has happened • yet" Donna said with faint hope and added dully, "At least not i when be wrote thia" > "I do not know how long It ! takea to go from 8t Louis to Mln- ! neapolu," Mrs. CoUwell said.
