Since 0!e Evinrude's beginning,

practically to every lake, river

and in many other sections of the
wortd. From the high-powered job
of the speed demons who race out-
ward motor boats, to the larger,
safer family type and the utilitar-
ian. fisherman's craft, the out-
iboard motor renders a valuable
and varied type of service.
The industry, as a whole, is keen-

tinually attempting to improve its

has played in this development is
[recognized and appreciated by
both the motor and boat manu-
facturers.

i While anticipating the season a
bit, it might be well to recall that
'in many states the opening of the
squirrel and dove seasons is not
far off. That means an army of
gunners in fields and forests, not
quite but almost as large as the
ranks of quail and rabbit hunters
iwhit will venture afield later.
However, when anyone takes a
gun and goes hunting, safety fac-
itors should be paramount in his
! consciousness at all times. For that
[reason this list of the 'Ten Com-
jmandments of Saftey" for hunters
)is offered:
Treat every gun with the
respect due a loaded, deadly
Weapon.
tarry only empty guns into
automobile, camp or home.
Always be sure that the har-
m and action are clear of ob-
structions.
Atways carry your gun so
that you can control the direc-
tion «f the muzzle, even if you
stumble.
He sure of the target before
you shoot.
\ever point a gun at any-
thing y„u do not intend to
shoot.
Xever leave your gun un-
attended—unless you unload
it first.
Xcver climb a fence or tree
a loaded gun.
\ever shoot at a flat, hard

Divoree brings more tragedies
I to Amont-an homes than infantile

wttn the same horror that we do
the physical disease. Wise mothers

avoiding it. Nobody should ever

marital troubles, for it never is.
Divorce Must Be
True, if a marriage is childless,
and if circumstances are unusually
serious, there must be divorces.
But where there are 50 now. there
should be only one. No money paid

Hard to forco
f/ow of /deas
By Lawrcnee Gould
)Prx
Need a writer ever "run out of ideas"?
Answer: He's at least more apt
to do so if he makes a bugbear of
it, since anxiety blocks the crea-
tive impulse. But in general, if you
are alert to what's going on around
you, you can hardly help receiving
new impressions faster than you
can put them on paper. And while
the most of these will follow a fairly
familiar pattern, there will always
be new "angles" from which to ap-
proach the oldest and most hack-
neyed subject. Everyone repeats
himself occasionally, but if your
mind keeps on growing each fresh
repetition will be an improvement.
!s the fear of being "different"
neurotic?
Answer: Neither more nor less
so than the feeling that you MUST
be different at all costs. For in
either case your way of living is
determined by that of your neigh-
bors, not by what you yourself want
or prefer. A man who must wear a
coat in summer because every-
body else does is in fact a Iittlt
less neurotic than the chap who
has to go without a coat in winter
in order to "show his indepen-
dence." For there is a practical
advantage in not making yourself
conspicuous in ways that arouse
hostility or ridicule from others.
Do you ever do things
"unintentionaily"?
Answer: You undoubtedly seem
to yourself to do so, and as far as
conscious motives go, you are
right. But all the things you think
you do unintentionally are prod-
ucts of unconscious motives, which
may be not only different from
your conscious ones, but opposed
to your own interest and safety—
for example, when you trip over
a rug you had "forgotten" was
there, but which your unconscious
mind (which never forgets any-
thing) remembered. When one of
Freud's children fell and hurt him-
self, instead of sympathizing, ha
would ask, "Why did you do that?"

way through engineering school at
college, and immediately upon
graduation obtained a good job.
He has changed jobs twice in these
10 years, but always upward.
He married a nice girl, with the
usual white veil and the usual
promises—and Steve meant them.
Little Georgia was born, to com-
pletely captivate her father, and
then a sturdy small edition of him-
self in Steve junior. He loves them,
he loved his home, he deeply
loved Adele. But Adele, three
years ago, fell in love.
The man is a vocational adviser
in a large institution. It makes me
wonder who advises him. For,
from the moment he and Adele
decided to shake off their respec-
tive mates at any cost, they pro-
ceeded to make everyone con-
cerned thoroughly miserable.
Adele took her children and went
to her mother's home. Her mother
warned her that she couldn't stay,
but at the same time she didn't
tum out Adele, and she loved her
grandchildren. She prayed and
hoped that the situation would
clear up.
Everybody Miserable
Philip, the vocational adviser,
got his divorce with no trouble,
and he and Adele went to Steve
and begged him to relent. Stephen
finally gave in, but he claimed the
custody of his children. Adele
agreed, perhaps because she knew
what would happen. Stephen
hasn't a relative in the world; the
care of children of five and three
simply isn't possible for him. As
an engineer he comes and goes
between the west coast cities; he
couldn't be sure of getting a house-
keeper who would care for them.
So Adele has them.
The children at first welcomed
their father when he came to see
them. But that is lessening. In the
institution where their stepfather
works they are absorbed. There
arc other children: community
meals They are not unhappy.
Stephen tells me, although in one
sense they have no father and no
mother.
For Adele. three weeks after
her marriage, after the achieve-
ment of her dream and her dream
man, was stricken with a a'sease
that has baffled science. She is
bedridden in the big institution.
She has books and callers and care,
but she will never waik again. If
it is merely a fixation it is a very
real one. for she makes desperate
efforts to walk, without success.
The children visit her. One wonders
what goes on in their small minds
about the whole thing.
Stephen's heart is broken. Or
rather it is stilled and sobered in
a way that makes seetng h<m hard
for those of us who love him. He
is very quiet about it, but he can-
not understand what "'entwrong^
Here was a lovely home with a man
and a woman in it: a garden: here
?wice were those tremendous
hours that usher in a new life, and
twicc the delight of
a child to its new home What hap

Operation to Retieve intense Pa^n
By Dr. Jome$ W. Borton
T HAVE WRITTEN several times
* about the operation of cutting
certain nerves supplying parts of
the brain that have to do with ex-
cessive grief and anxiety.
All that was first expected of
this operation, lobotomy, was that
it would lessen undue grief and
anxiety.
Recently I wrote of a number of
cases in which following lobotomy,
the patient was able to return to
home and be of some help there,
and of cases where the patient was
able to resume his former occupa-
I tion.
One of the ailments that causes
men and women to become drug
! addicts or commit suicide is what
) is catled "intractable pain," pain
} that cannot be relieved. That this
terrible pain can be relived by
this same operation, lobotomy, is
now stated in the "Journal of the
American Medical Association
by Drs. John B. Dynes and James
L Popper, Lahey Clinic. Boston.
^ "Every physician has in his
practice patients who experience
pain which is unrelieved by .the
usual measures and great physical
and mental suffering result."
These patients are often a burden
to their families because addicted
to drugs, or mentally unbalanced.
Lobotomy for the relief of such
cases was performed on 18 patients
at the Lahey Clinic. Of the group
nine had cancer which was spread-
ing throughout the body, the other
nine had various other conditions
causing pain. Before undergoing
lobotomy, despite the fact that all
patients had been treated by drugs
or by local operations, drug and
surgical treatment alike had failed
to relieve the pain.
The patients were not only re-
lieved of pain by lobotomy but they
were relieved of excessive worry
and concern. "In patients who are
dying of cancer there can be no
doubt that their remaining days
are more free of mentai suffering
and happier than they otherwise
would have been."
When we remember that each
patient had been treated by all
known methods—medical and sur-
gical—without getting relief from
physical and mental pain, lobotomy
may well become the operation of
choice to relieve intractable physi-
cal and mental pain.
HEALTH NOTES
By use of the new drugs, sulpha,
peniciliin and streptomycin, the
death rate in rheumatic fever is
decreasing.
* * *
While all foods are nourishing,
foods that shouid be eaten
daily in the usual servings (the
protective foods) are meat, eggs
or fish, milk and dairy products
and green vegetables.
Because cancer of the mouth
gives early symptoms, there should
be fewer deaths from lip, tongue
and throat cancer than at present
—as long as middle-aged men and
women see their dentist at least
twice a year.
* * *
A few hours or days of complete
rest often restore worried, grief-
stricken men and women.

EVERYBODY is in favor of jus-
tice but not everybody knows
what justice is. Justice is more
fundamental than democracy. If
we believe that democracy is the
best form of government, it is only
because we believe that justice can
be better secured in this way than
in any other.
Justice is as old as God
Since for at least 3,000 years his-
torians, politicians, philosophers
and theolo g i a n S
have been wrang-
ling over the mean-
ing of justice, you
won't learn the last
word about it mere-
ly by studying one
Sunday school les-
son. But this is the
place to remind
ourselves that jus-
tice as an ideal,
and democracy as
a means of reaching that ideal,
were not born yesterday.
Labor Day will recall the
great services rendered to de-
mocracy by the organized
workers of the world, for ex-
ample, in the push they have
given to free and universal ed-
ucation. But democracy is older
than the labor movement, is
older than July 4. 17<6, is older
than the Magna Charta, is old-
er than the Roman empire, in
which one of many mottoes was
"Let justice be done even if
the sky caves in!"
Justice and democracy go back
to the ancient Hebrews, the people
who wrote the Old Testament. It
was written in their laws, preached
by their prophets, sung in their
Psalms. But of course they did not
invent it. They proclaimed it; but
justice is older than the human
race. The whole Bible and not oniy
the Old Testament teaches that jus-
tice is rooted in the nature of God
himself. No unjust person can be
called godly.
Songs of Justice
^^UR Psalms for this week give
us some valuable light on what
justice is. Some people think that
if everybody were rich, that would
be justice. Psalm 4f) shows how
foolish that notion is. It says in al-
most so many words, "You can't
take it with you."
Riches dy not spell happiness.
Making everybody rich mi?ht
mean making many people
miserable. Money by itself does
not cure the ills of life, it may
make them worse or even
create new ones. Manv a fam-
ily in the "upper brackets" has
troubles that woutd vanish !f
they had less money.
Psalms 72 and 82 eive us more
positive suggestions. P^alm 72 sees
it as the king's main duty to judge
the people with righteousness and
justice. The king was the govern-
ment. in those days; he was the
executive and the legislative and
the judicial branch of government
all rolled into one. In modern
terms, the business of government
is something more than furnishing
police to lock up and punish wrongs
after they have been done.
The welfare of the peonle is the
concern of government. When pub-
lic officials take any other view of
their job, they are off the beam.
In a democracy, the government is
the people, that is to say, ourselves.
If things are bad we are to blame
for it; if they are going to he any
better, we shall have to work for
it. Every appeal to a king, in the
Old Testament, when translated
into terms of a democratic coun-
try, means an appeal to the peo-
ple.
The Little People
TUSTICE always has to be con-
^ cerned with the little people. It
was true in the simple little world
of the ancient Hebrews, it is just
as true in our global complex
world, that the strong will always
exploit the weak if there is not a
hand to stop them.
God is always for the "poor."
the "children of the needv."
and he is always against the
"oppressor." !n ancient !srael
the oppressor was usually the
big land owner who treated his
slaves with cruelty or under-
paid his workers. Nowadays
the oppressor Is any exploiter,
any man or group of men who
will use power to soueeze out
or crush down the little man.
But justice is positive, not nega-
tive. prevontion and not cure only.
Concern for social justice includes
taking care of people laid low by
an epidemic or made homeless by
fires; but it goes far beyond this.
It will mean wording for conditions
such that no one will he forced to
live in unsanitary flretraps
