A woman’s view

UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) -’Tis the season when feminine thoughts turn to hats. These days, they’re constdered more than coverings for the head; they become, beguile, bedazzle. And they’re made from an infinite variety of materials today compared with the time, two centuries ago, when one encyclopedia authority was referring to them as "women’s wear of chips, straw or cane made by platting (sic) and sewing the plats together, beginning with the center of the

crown and working round the whole is finished...” This same source wrote of

bonnets as "in a general sense, denoting a covering for the head, in common use before the introduction of hats. See hat.” Obviously, this was long before Irving Berlin wrote his sonnet

about an Easter bonnet. And in case you’re interested,

a bonnet also in sea language is

an addition to a sail.

These and other oddments of the season I garner from the first edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, which calls itself the "world’s greatest know it all” and also the oldest encyclopedia in continuous publication in the

English language.

The reference work is observing its 200th anniversary this year and to commemorate the event has produced a replica of

its first edition—a three volume affair with 2,689 pages compared with today’s 24-volume series with 28,000 pages. The first edition ignored fashion as a term applied to feminine style. The only reference was to '‘fashion pieces, in sea language...two compassing pieces of timber. See transom.” But won’t future editions of any encyclopedia also be something to study! Miniskirts and Twiggy and false eyelashes and the pill and the Beatles and LSD and the flower children... Safe Streets act gets nod WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate Judiciary Committee today tentatively approved President Johnson’s "safe streets” act aimed at curbing the rising national crime rate. The committee voted to give the administration $100 million for the first year and $300 million for the second year of the major federal offensive against crime. The tentative approval was subject to final action on an anticrime package which already includes broadened wiretap, ping authority. The "safe streets” legislation is designed to stimulate better police training and improve crime -fighting techniques through grants to states and communities.

WASHINGTON (UPI)—The chances that you will have a nervous or emotional breakdown are about one in ten. The chances that you can be completely or partly cured are about seven in ten provided you have expert attention. The National Association for Mental Health (NAMH) estimates there are 19 million Americans suffering from mental or emotional illness. One surprising fact is that you don’t have to go through years of wear and tear to have a breakdown. On any given day there are about 5,000 children below the age of 15 in our mental hospitals. Americans, and especially the American male, seem to be the most vulnerable in the world to breakdowns. A candid look at Americans by an objective observer. Dr. Joshua Bierer, editor of the Interna-

tional Journal of Social Psychiatry, London, led him to say: “Americans are the most worried people in the world. The old theory that ‘we never had it so good’ Is bunk. Exactly the opposite Is true. The American man works himself to death at 40 or 50 and leaves a rich widow. The United States is a matriarchy and this is a very unhealthy thing.” Well, what do we worry about besides money? Millions of us worry unduly about our health. We read a list of phobias: batophobia 'fear of falling from a high place); claustrophobia 'fear of being in a confined space); agraphobia (fear of open spaces); photophobia -(fear of bright light); mysophobia ffear of germs); agraphia (inability to communicate in writing); anosmia 'impairment of the sense of

Governor appoints

at crossing

ARCHBOLD, Ohio (UPI)—A mother and five of her six children were killed Monday night when a Penn Central passenger train slammed into their car at a crossing near here. The train was moving 80 miles an hour on the mainline track enroute from Chicago to New York City. Killed were Mrs. Barbara Foxe, 29, Holgate, Ohio; Scott, 8; Shane, 5; Shannon, 3; Tammy 2, and Earl Jr., 7 months. The sheriff’s office said Mrs. Foxe was driving east on Fulton County Road, which runs parallel to the tracks and crosses them at an S-curve. The car was pushed a mile down the tracks before it broke in two and caught fire. Gold prices drop sharply LONDON (UPI) —The price of gold dropped sharply again in Europe Tuesday as speculators rushed to sell their precious metal. The dollar moved strongly higher on the continent and the British pound held firm in the wake of President Johnson’s Vietnam declaration and the Stockholm monetary accord. On the London bullion market, largest in the world, gold was quoted at $37.30 an ounce Tuesday afternoon, 70 cents cheaper than Monday when the market reopened after a 15-day suspension. This compared with the official rate of $35 an ounce. Similar free market gold declines were registered on the Paris and Zurich markets. In Zurich, the dollar climbed to its highest rate since the beginning of the gold crisis in early February. It was quoted at 4.33 1-3 Swiss francs. Financial experts attributed the main credit for lower gold prices to two factors: — Good world reception for the nine -nation Stockholm agreement to create a system of "paper gold” as a new form of reserve monetary asset. — Prospects for Vietnam peace as held forth in President Johnson’s weekend speech and its implications for improving the U.S. foreign payments deficit.

Evansville State Psychiatric Treatment Center Advisory Board—Pat Henry, Evansville, to complete the term of Mrs. Henry J. Luerssen, Evansville, who resigned; James J. Mallon, Indianapolis, and Drs. Joseph Coleman and H. Jerome Rietman, both of Evansville, reap, pointed to new terms. Teachers, politics rally set INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - A rally complete with bands, badges, parades, fancy hats, posters and jingles was scheduled here Saturday to encourage school teachers to be more active in politics. The Indiana State Teachers Association, co-sponsor of what it called a "Teachers-in-Politics Rally,” said the session was aimed at pointing up a belief that "all major educational decisions are political decisions.” "Teachers in their new role as participants in educational decision-making must be prepared to participate in political activities,” the ISTA said. Other objectives included giving advice on how to participate effectively in politics and providing a model for similar political workshops at area levels. The Indiana rally, part of a national "Teachers-in-Politics Weekend” sponsored by the National Education Association, was expected to draw about 500 persons. Robert H, Wyatt, ISTA executive secretary, will talk on "Teacher Power in 1968,” and Sen. Gale W. McGee, D-Wyo., a university history professor before he entered the Senate, will speak. Republicans Buena Chaney and Mrs. Esther Guthridge, and Democrats Gordon St. Angelo and Mrs. Agnes Woolery, chairmen and vice chairmen of their state party organizations, also will be on the program.

smell); xenophobia (uneasiness in the presence of strangers). If you are inclined to worry, you also will begin to imagine that you are being attacked by a phobia. It doesn’t even have to be anything as serious as a phobia. Anxiety speeds us on the road to a breakdown and a person with a minor discomfort easily can arrange a do-it-yourself breakdown. Dr. James A. Brussel in his “Guide to Psychiatry” lists some of the myths that people accept as the truth: “Any pain in the left chest means heart disease. Pain after meals means ulcers. Pain in a joint means arthritis. Pain in a muscle is due to neuritis. Pain in the head probably means a brain tumor. Every lump is a sign of cancer.” The odd thing about such persons is that they refuse to accept the verdict of a competent physician that they are healthy. They go from doctor to doctor hoping to find one who will confirm the diagnosis they have made on themselves. Meanwhile, their worry load Increases and they have a head start toward a nervous breakdown. And yet a certain amount of anxiety and tension is necessary for our survival. Brussel puts it this way: “Without the capacity for anxiety the individual would lack the ability tc recognize and react defensive^ to the various incidents anc people that threaten him . . . News briefs A FIRST CAPE TOWN, South Africa (UPI)—South Africa eased its rigid racial segregation laws today to accommodate the Malawi embassy’s first secretary, Joe Kachingwem, the first Negro diplomat based in South Africa. An order circulated by the government ordered allwhite hotels and restaurants to serve him, his family and friends. GERMANS AGREE BONN (UPI)-West German diplomatic sources said Monday that the appointment of Henry Cabot Lodge as U.S. ambassador to Bonn was known in advance and the government has already agreed to the appointment. REBELLION CONTINUES PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (UPI)— Rebel Biafrian troops damaged or sank eight boats ferrying troops of the federal government across the Niger River to attack the town of Onitsha, according to reports reaching here Monday. The Federal government claimed it had captured the town last week but Biafran leaders said it was still in their hands.

W EATED CAMPAIGN BEIRUT (UPI)-Nine persons were hurt in gunbattles Monday between supporters of rival candidates in Lebanon’s parliamentary elections.

“When Edison was trying to create the electric light bulb, he failed in one experiment after another. He could have become dejected and imbued with a sense of futility to the point of abandoning his experiments.” It was Edison’s anxiety that caused him to miss meals and sleep no more than three hours a night, that enabled him to invent the electric bulb. So how much anxiety is enough and how much is too much? It’s like buying a suit of clothes. You have to tailor your anxiety to your own mind and if you find it hard to get a good fit you had better see a doctor. For years now there has been much preoccupation among American business men with ulcers. Some of them seemed to have the odd idea that if you did not have an ulcer it meant you were not working hard enough. How

strong a factor anxiety and tension are in the affliction of ulcers is something experts are inclined to argue about. But Dr. Robert Kemp, who calls the ulcer "the wound stripe of civilization,” has this to say: “At the beginning of this century duodenal ulcer was unknown except as a rare pathological curiosity. It is amazing that in this short time it should have become as common as it is today . . . nobody can be sure whether complaints were present but un-' dlagonsed before the turn of the century. It is, however, certain that they could not have been as frequent as they are today.” The moral of the story seems to be that medical science makes progress by taking two steps forward and then one step back. We get penicillin but we also get ulcers.
