LII TRUMAN Few people know that the severest strain in test- ing an automobile is driv- ing the car at high speed over what looks like smooth pavement. You would think that a rocky, rutted road would be the most difficult. But high speed over what looks like a smooth highway sets up highfrequency f vibra- tions which quickly loosens bolts or cause what looks like a good piece of steel to fail. Tension, internal agita- tion and moving too fast even though for all appear- ances it seems to be done smoothly, have no less ef- fect in causing hidden weaknesses to break a man. "Why I thought old Joe was as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar, so how come he's sick — had a nervous breakdown — took his own life?" Or all the other symptoms which mean the same thing. In a physics lab I saw a demonstration of sound on a piece 'of glass. The sound was not loud to my ears, but the frequency was in- creased until the pane shattered into a thousand splinters. If you think that tension or other forms of inner vi- bration does not affect the highly organized human personality or our bodies in much the same way, you have had a very protected life. In his book, "Nerves," Alfred Brown confirms this process. He writes that in the thalamus (innerbrains) is where we have emotions, where we feel love, fear, jealousy, hate, rage, etc. By very practical proof, Brown shows that the emo- tional crisis in the thalamus is the cause of ulcers, many forms of high blood pressure, often the source for heart irregulari- ty, and other evidence of illness. Brown further states that there is the forebrain (cerebrum) where we ana- lyze, think and decide. The forebrain recognizes gen- eral situations • and sends its findings to the inner - brain for action and feel- ing. The innnerbrain re- ports the situation back to the forebrain in terms of emotion, good or bad. Brown's summary is: if you want to enjoy good' health, you first must get right with your innerbrain. $ Robert Louis Stevenson, deathly ill, wrote these words in his diary: "Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened. They go on in fortune or misfortune at their own quiet pace like the ticking of a clock dur- ing a thunderstorm." He had made peace with his own emotional life, and each time I see a man who becomes irritated because he has missed an elevator, or someone takes his life in his hands trying to beat a red light, or a parent who has lost all patience with his children, I pray for them that they might make peace with their own ner- vous system, and that the marvelous machinery called our brain and body which our Maker has given to els might be used con- structively to the ends of joy, happiness, and growth and fulfillment. Fireflies taste bad; this saves them Fireflies have managed to avoid extinction because they taste bad to predators, says Dr. Joseph Bonaventu- ra of the Marine Biomedical Center, Beaufort, N.C. He placed an extract of freeze-dried fireflies in tanks of seawater containing foot -long Atlantic sharp - nosed sharks. Within min- utes the sharks struggled to get away, and when they couldn't they became para- lyzed and died.
