THAT WAS THE ‘MOTTO OF TWO KEY WEST DOCTORS Results of the survey in Key West, made jointly by the Florida Association of Mental Health and the Flor- ida Federation of Women’s Clubs, have not yet been pub- lished, so far as The Citizen knows. Mind is the most marvelous thing in the universe and has been the subject of more theories than anything else, Psychiatric treatments, while effective in some instances, have run the gamut of unsubstantiated claims to so great an extent, people have been led to believe, that is, those people who do not think for themselves, that all you have to do, if you think you are mentally ill, is to consult a psychiatrist and, presto! you are better. If you brood long enough, you come to think that not only your mind is ‘out of order but your body also. We heard a minister in Key West once say that, if you can concentrate on thinking for five minutes that your little finger hurts you, you will convince yourself that it does hurt you. , But man is fortunate that he can’t concentrate on anything for a minute without thoughts ‘flitting in his mind about other things. Then how can a person brood for hours, day after day, about some particular thing? That question is easily answered. While he broods, a thou- and thoughts about other things are evolved. You can’t think about anything that has not been thought of a thousand times before.“ Nobody can blank out all thinking while he’s awake. You may speak about a -person’s musing or being in a brown study, but he can’t muse about nothing. The world’s worst “disease” is worry. Worry unbal- ances your mind, and, if continued from’ day to day, eventually wrecks your nervous system. When that hap- pens, your stomach stops functioning properly, and a disordered stomach causes many kinds‘of minor illness, which become grave if the primary cause is not corrected. You know the best kind of doctors for illness that stem from worry? Not psychiatrists or psychoanalyists, but doctors who can make you smile, who can cheer you up. It used to be said by many Key Westers that the late Dr. John B. Maloney and Dr. Joseph M. Fogarty helped their patients more by their presence than they did by ‘the medicine they prescribed. Of course, that was an ex- aggeration, but still there was miich truth in it. They entered a sick room smiling and joking and ‘minimized, instead of magnified, the condition of a pa- tient. They knew that the chances of a patient’s getting ‘better is enhanced a hundredfold if he stops worrying. They knew that a brooding mind really retards the bene- ficial action of medicines. So The Citizen advocates more power to the Florida Association of Mental Health and the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs in their efforts to keep minds healthy, sed seg bodies depend immeasurably on healthy min One reason newspaper advertising is better, and more effective, than any other kind is that it is never rammed down your throat; those who read such advertis- ing do so because they want to.

The two Miami Uni- versity officials were in Key West to tabulate the results of a survey relative to establishment of even- ing extension classes. Says Dr. Goddard, “It would be impractical at this stage to es- tablish an evening branch of the University in Key West. However, there is every reason to believe that extension classes will be suc- cessful. “Experience gained from con- ducting the extension courses might very well lead to bigger and better things at a later date.” It. is expected to have a definite answer as to when classes ‘will start .after Dr. Goddard. and” Dr. Steinhoff make their «to; the Dean’s Council in Miami,’ ~~, Junior College: v8 Whether Key West is ready for a Junior College at this stage of its development was an_ interesting topic brought up during an after- noon meeting of those interested in securing the local classes. Dr. Goddard pointed out that Fort Lauderdale was working to this end — establishment of resident class- es. However, he also mentioned that the town had successfully de- monstrated its desire for college- level courses over a period of years and that it has a larger territory to draw upon for applicants. The Miami University officials said that by 1970, facilities for sup- plying the demand of higher educa- tion were going to be woefully in- adequate unless expansion of pre- sent schools began now. This acute problem isn’t confined simply to colleges — locally, Suprintendent Horace O’Bryant and his fellow - workers have been concerned with expanding elementary and high school classes for several years. The bumper crop of “war ba- bies” are just reaching school age. Here in Key West, we're faced| This Rock Of Ours By Bill Gibb with the additional problem of an almost over - night influx of new residents. There is no use denying that, although a rapidly growing, prosperous town .is nice, there are many headaches. which go along with the situation. The bright side of the. picture was demonstrated last Monday, however, when May- or Harvey and other leading Key Westers displayed their active in- terest in educational problems, “The time will come when Key West can have a Junior College. Of this, I’m sure. For the present, we need to exert our energy to- ward securing the evening exten- seo classes.

Dr. Steinhoff promised to relay any im- portant information immedigtely. @atromay parery, eouncia Surgery Aids Epilepties By RENNIE TAYLOR AP Science Reporter LOS ANGELES ®—A Philadel- But in every case, he said, the seizures Stopped immediately. Some of the newer drugs can control effectively 85 per cent of phia surgeon disclosed today he! these afflictions, which are known has stubborn cases of epilepsy and similar kinds of fits by removing} half of the brains of children. One side or the other of the! brain is taken out and the cavity is filled with a salt water solu-/ j sive. tion. Eventually body tissues ab- sorb the solution and half the skull} remains empty. . The youngsters do not lose any of their intelligence and their fits and antisocial behavior disappear, said Dr. Eugene P. Spitz, of chil- drens Hospital, Philadelphia. Dr. Spitz made the report for delivery to the Radiological Society of North America, organization of specialists who work with X-rays and other forms of radiation. The operation is made possible by X- ray pictutes showing which half of the brain is affected. This surgical feat is not new but it had tried heretofore been successfully ‘treating | medically as convulsive seizures. But the other 15 per cent remain in serious trouble. They not only have fits but some of them be- have violently. Dr. Spitz told of one who attacked a playmate with a butcher knife: Others were sadis- tie, disobedient or unduly aggres- . In children with the uncontrol- lable kind of seizures there is pro- gressive deterioration of the men- tality and the nervous system, Dr. | Spitz reported. The condition shows up in an X-ray as a subnormal development of one side of the brain. H-DUST SURVIVORS . TO LEAVE HOSPITAL TOKYO —The 22 survivors of the ‘Japanese fishing boa?

Now here was a man who had everything it takes to get ahead in this world. Broad feet and, well, this is a kid from our owp neighborhood, and anything would get you. ahead there. . So Banjo Feet got ahead. He played center on our football team. You probably remember our yell: “south 40 hay, north 40 clover, we can whip anybody, over and over!” Banjo Feet wasn’t a very goud center at the start. Nobody could knock his shoes off the ground, of course. But they did kind of shove him from one side to the otker, so that every once in a while, after he had bent over too far, he would snap back and knock the enemy ball carrier back on the next play. Gradually he learned to get the bo-0-0-0-0 wang of it! Then, as he- sharpened up—b-o-oing! They would bump him in one direction and old Banjo Feet would immediately give a counter vibra- tion and knock the:opposing player head over heels. Boiang! Boing! Boiang! Boiang Our team’s Ball. I suppose in the whole history of football there was never a center quite like old Banjo Feet. He could bend into the opposing line from any angle, holding his balance like a salt shaker, sifting out the blockers and then, all of a sudden, enemy ball carrier back for a 5- yard loss. You would think that the forward pass would defeat old Banjo Feet. But not him. They never had a chance to throw the ball. Because the moment the other side started calling. signals old Banjo Feet would start vibrating and by the. time the other side’s quarterback got the ball—well, “Bo-0-o-ing:” he’d be knocked back off balance. There isn’t much more to say about Banjo Feet. After he got out The U.S. Air Force needs ground personnel +. - Young men who may be trained in tech- Force bomibers and jet fighters in the air.
