PRACTCAL FAMILY LIVING BY LUCILLE HIGGINBOTHAM Extension Health Specialist University of Georgia College of Agriculture Emotional tensions can and do play a prominent role in many phy sical illnesses. This is easy to under stand when you realize that your mind and body work together and not as separate units. F'eelings in fluence your body’s functioning and your body’s working order reacts upon your mind. Os course, tensions are inevitable in life and not always undesirable. A healthy amount serves us in two ways: First, they are a kind of shield a gainst danger or trouble because they usually make Us act to protect ourselves. ; Second, tensions heighten enjoy ably . emotional experiences. This is shown in the difference between watching a close ball game and a game that is one-sided. Not .all, tensions are this pleasant and most of us can find ways to re lieve those bothersome ones of which we are aware. Talking over troubles, working off tension in physical ac tivity and learning to accept what cannot be changed are useful in helping us cope more successfully with many problems. However, it is not always that easy. Emotional conflicts and tensions may often be hidden because it is too difficult for an individual to ac knowledge them. Physicians now better understand this connection be tween tension one is unaware of and physical health. They try to help their patients recognize tensions and learn to live with them more com fortably. Physicians may also call upon psychiatrists or psychologists who specialize in helping to get to the base of emotional disturbances. Trimming some tensions down to size and learning to live with those that remain can make the fundament tai difference between enjoying lijl or enduring it. — By Miss Lucnß Higginbotham, head, Health Educa tion Department, University of Geor gia Cooperative Extension Service.

Providing for a reduction in individual and corporate income taxes, the new tax law if enact ed would take effect in two an nual steps beginning January 1. By 1965, it is estimated that the average family would have its income taxes reduced by be tween ?100 and J2OO a year. Revenue of the federal gov ernment would be cut by some 111 billion a year. This is indeed a complicated and complex matter which will require much testimony by the nation's leading economic ex perts and considerable study by the Finance Committee. A REDUCTION in our bur densome income taxes would of course be greatly beneficial to the individual taxpayer, fami lies, and businesses.

In addition to aiding the tax payers, it is anticipated that the new tax law will stimulate the American economy by making more jobs available and increas ing capital spending and retail trade. This of course would alle viate many of our current na tional fiscal problems. The aims of this bill are ad mirable, and it is to be hoped that they will be achieved. How ever, at the same time we must not lose sight of the current state of fiscal affairs in the country and continue to strive to balance the budget and ease our deficit problems. • • • THE CONGRESS, in attempt ing to boost the nation’s econ omy and increase employment, must also direct its attention to the deficits which are piling up year after year, the more than |3OO billion national debt and the plight of the dollar. Sooner or later, we are going to have to hold the line and stop spending billions more than the government collects in revenue. This is not a sound fiscal policy and it does not make for sound government It is highly desirable that American citizens be given a much deserved reduction in their income taxes, but it also is the responsibility of the Congress to return the country to fiscal re sponsibility by demanding a re duction in expenditures.

This is four times as many as were killed by traffic acci dents, twenty times as many as by Tuberculosis. The American Cancer Society, Georgia Division says no warning is more impor tant to each of us than the dan ger signals of cancer. Over half of those cancer strikes can be cured today if treated early. Foi some types 80 per cent can be cured if treated while the cancer is still localized. SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION After you had changed your ad dress, you wouldn’t think of carry ing the same old house key, would you? Yet, according to social secur ity records, there are many mar ried women who still carry the same old social security cards they had before they were wed. Some fail to make the change for months, or even years, after they have changed their names, even though they con tinue to work after marriage. The key to your social security record is your social security ac count number card. No one should have more than one social security number. In the interest of having all earnings credited to the proper account number, the Social Security Administration needs to know about changes in names whether it be be cause of marriage, divorce, or other reasons. Women who marry and fail to report this change may ex perience delay when it comes time to figure the social security bene fits due them. It really is a simple matter for a newly married woman to be sure that her social security records are current and under the proper name and number. She simply takes her old social security card to the nearest social security office. There she will be issued a new social se curity card with the same number she had but under her new name.

'g£nv"'^iu»» 'STi D i»i DR 2-«sts (Dealer). rwß Maarnwy Doc MAG Says By the Medical Association of Georgia “SPINAL PUNCTURES ARE HELPFUL FOR MANY REASONS” Spinal fluid is drawn with a needle through a puncture of the spinal cavity for many reasons. Sometimes it is done so that the fluid can be examined for diag nostic purposes. It may be done to relieve tension aroused by pressure of the fluid. Sometimes it is done to prevent an excess of fluid when a liquid is to be injected. An anesthetic is some times given through a spinal puncture. The spinal cord in humans ends around the lower chest. Be low this point there are only nerve roots. This makes it pos sible for a physician to put the needle into the low spinal canal without major risk. / Some people have unfounded fears about spinal punctures. They are sometimes prompted by tales of what other people have suffered after having one. But, when one hears of such, he should make sure why the pa tient had certain after effects. Many of the conditions often calling for spinal punctures — head injuries, suspected menin gitis, a stroke, some back injuries — are serious in themselves. Trouble after a spinal puncture may be caused by the pre-exist ing condition rather than by the spinal puncture. Sometimes this trouble is mistakenly attributed to the puncture. Local anesthesia is used in making a spinal puncture. The patient has very little discomfort and the information the physi cian can obtain from an exami nation of the fluid is valuable in helping him treat the patient. Most spinal punctures are done in clinics or hospitals. Patients who have had spinal punctures should lie flat in bed overnight so that nature can heal the tiny opening made by the needle and so that fluid will not drain into the tissues of the back, causing headache from low pressure. Oc casionally people have a headache for as long as a week after a spi nal puncture. It is also wise for patients to drink more liquids than usual after the puncture. This helps replace the fluid that was withdrawn. DOC MAG SAYS: Your physician weighes the possible risks involved in a spinal puncture against its expected be nefits in deciding for or against the procedure. When the puncture is done for diagnostic purposes it can yield very helpful infor mation. Editor’s note: If you have a topic you would like Doc MAG to discuss in this column, send your request on a postcard to The Medical Association of Geor gia, 938 Peachtree Street, N. E., Atlanta 9, Georgia. Thank you. KEEP CANNED FOOD COOL High storage temperatures tend to impair the color, flavor, nutritive value, and texture of canned foods. Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension food preservation specialist, explains that storing canned foods at a high tem perature breaks down the cells and causes a soft product.
