J THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1952 SULLIVAN COUNTY RECORD—JEFFERSONVILLE, N. Y. SEVEN * D o c j o n e s S a y s . . . B y P a u l B. Brooks, M. D. When you were a kid did you ever get the habit of biting your finger nails? Well, I did, too: up ’til I was a good sized youngster. Chewed ’em down so close, at times, there weren’t enough left to scratch my head with. Yes, it’s a very common habit: one that isn’t fa vored by mothers and school teach ers. One thing, though, isn’t always fully appreciated. Like all \bad habits” there's a reason for it. Nail- biting is ah evidence of nervous tension. It’s usually seen, so an A.M.A. Queries authority says here, in \fidgety highstrung, overactive children.” Sometimes several in a family do it. Imitation may be one factor in getting ’em started. • The youngsters, when they’re tense — maybe watching a fright ening movie or waiting to be called on in school — bit their nails more or less unconsciously. It probably goes back, the Authority believes, to the child’s instinct to put every thing in his mouth. And a good many grownups — they shouldn't think too badly of the kids — they are nailbiters. Somebody that chews dents in a pencil or penholder when he’s doing heavy thinking or wait ing for a ’phone call — it amounts to the, same thing; Nailbiting, in a “generally happy, successful child”, the Authority says, isn’t necessarily a serious sign. But, at times, it’s combined with thumb sucking, sleep walking, frightening dreams and so on. Then it may indicate an abnormal nerv ous condition. Myself — I don’t re call ever sucking my thumb but— Anyhow, how to get rid of it — that’s the mother’s big question — treatment. Mittens, bitter stuff on the nails, scolding — such things seldom work. The kids may even learn to like the bitter taste. Nag ging increases his tension. Try ^ to find out the, cause of his tension and relieve it: that's the best bet. Too much expected of him .at home, poor adjustment in school, the wrong kind of movie or tele vision shows — that sort of thing. Nailbiting is a symptom of some thing deeper. The surest way to re-v lieve a symptom: remove the cause. BEW A R E OF MYSTERY DEATHS AMONG LIVESTTCK, POULTRY Farmers were alerted today •against “mystery” deaths occurring among livestock. Such deaths, says the American Foundation for Animal Health, could be the first warning of secret bacteriological warfare, or of in roads by a fast-spreading disease new to the area, or of a new flare- up of an old disease which could endanger both human beings and livestock in the locality. Any deaths from \mystery” causes should be reported immediately to the local veterinarian or to state veterinary officials, the Foundation advised. Because more than 100 animal diseases may be transmitted to hu man beings, an- outbreak could en danger the health of the farmer’s family and his neighbors. In addi tion, the disease could be spread throughout the nation by modern means of rapid transportation, en dangering livestock over wide areas. The Foundation referred to re cent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Mexico and Canada to emphasize how one unreported case could threaten this nation’s live stock industry. With reference to biological warfare, the Foundation said that \In times of international tension farmers must be doubly vigilant.” It was suggested that the owner have a veterinarian examine any animal which dies suddenly so the cause of death my be determined. If the death resulted from a highly- infectious disease, state and federal officials should be notified so pro tective measures could be started. \It is no disgrace to have.animal herds or poultry flocks infected with contagious disease,” the foun dation said. \But failure to report such infection could endanger pub lic health, and cost mililons of dol lars in animal losses throughout the nation.” REPAIR OF TOOLS IN W INTER SAVES TIME NEXT SPRING A good workman, it has been said, is known by his tools. While it is true that better made garden tools last longer than cheaper ones of poor metal and workmanship, it is equally true that even the best of tools wear and occasionally break despite normal care. Expo sure to weather actually may dam age tools more than usage. To keep tools off the ground and out of the weather, a rack of some kind in a convenient place will repay for its installation many- times over in a single year. When tools are put in their ap pointed place at the end of the sea son, they should be cleaned and oiled. Caked soil can be removed with a wooden scraper, two inches wide and shaved to a thin edge at one side. Steel wool or sandpaper gets rid of rust. After cleaning, the metal parts are given a thick pro tective coat of oil or grease. Tools that need repair should be put aside for attention during the winter. Handles that are split, loose or rough to touch are easy to fix. If necessary a new handle may be purchased (make certain the grain of the wood runs most of the length of the handle.) Rakes may need some new teeth, and any kind of tool with a cutting edge is cer tain to require sharpening. Metal parts which are bent need to be straightened or aligned. These and other simple repairs, done leisurely during the winter, put tools in or der for a fresh start next spring. NEW YEAR AND KOREA The arrival of 1953 in America is an occasion for joy and hope, a time for fun and parties. We’re for tunate that we can celebrate the traditional New Year’s holiday in the comfort of our homes and with our loved ones around. But in Korea the Red shells don’t pause on their death dealing mis sion just because a new year is here. The fighting goes on. Amid biting winds and snow in the woods and mountains, our fighting men strike back at the communist en emy. No time for celebrating. Too much to do trying to keep alive, trying to gain ground. r That’s something to think about as we observe the traditional holi day. How about asking ourselves— what can we do to help the men who are fighting for the very tra ditions we hold dear and take for granted? For one thing, we at home can make a lasting resolution to work unceasingly for a peaceful future— in which American boys may never have to risk their lives again. With an unscrupulous foe threatening our existence as a free nation, peace won’t come easily. But it will come if we work for it. One of the positive things we can do to help insure peace is to buy United States Defense Bonds. By doing this, we’re building up Amer ica’s strength. Our men in Korea need that strength from us to back them up in their fight to keep America secure. With the coming of a New Year, why not do you part — for our brave fighting men, for America, for yourselves — by buying Defense Bonds regularly on the payroll sav ings plan where you work, the Bond-a-Month plan where you bank, or over the counter at banks and post offices.

Y. COUNSEL KOREA VETERAN ON GI EDUCATION BENEFITS State Veteran Counselor Glenn Young and -Director Blake McCul lough of the local Veterans’ Serv ice Agency today urged veterans planning to utilize their education al benefits under the Korean G.I. Bill to give careful consideration to, their choice of a training program, for they will be permitted to change their course only once. Mr. Young said that the educational benefits of the new G.I. Bill are designed to help veterans into a normal pro gram where they can make their own way and to reach a definite, identified goal. Before a post-Ko rean veteran even applies for train ing under the new G.I. Bill, he should have clearly in mind just what his goal in life might be. Di rector McCullough advised veterans who are uncertain about their ob jective or about the type of train ing needed to reach their goal, would, do well to talk over their problems with a competent veteran advisor by visiting the office of the Veterans’ Service Agency in th e Court House in Montieello. Mr. Young pointed out that the New York State Division of Veterans’ Affairs and its network of counsel ing services is designed to insure that every veteran know what helps are available and to what extent they may be utilized. Mr. Young also said that the deadline for start ing —- for a veteran discharged from service before August 20,1952 —is August 20, 1954. Other veter ans, discharged later, will have two years after their release from ac tive duty in which to begin. Train ing under the Korean G.I. * Bill is available to veterans who served, any place in the world, after the outbreak of fighting in Korea on June 27, 1950. They must have a discharge or release under condi tions other than dishonorable, as well as at least 90 days total serv ice, unless discharged sooner be cause of a service-connected disabil ity. / f SERVICES LUTHERAN CHURCH Rev.
