MR. TWITCHELL ANALYZES
^ ^ i.OOK I<'OR the most exciting
race in years in both basebai]
v .declared Elmer
iwtche!!. eminent sports fan. pi-
noclile player and antique nutpick
collector, today. "If you wish my
analysis, based largely on getting
ttie games by radio and television,
here it is. Beer, cigarettes, the
Yanks, motor oils. Dom Bums and
various breakfast foods wilt fight it
out to the finish in both leagues,
and any one of them can win.
...
It has been a very good race
so far, with the American
league a little faster with the
clear-cut commercials, but
with the National league clear-
ly outclassing it with the more
informal testimonials to popu-
lar products. ! don't recall a
baseball race when the appeals
to radio fans to hurry to the
icebox for a cold drink were
done with such spirit and form.
...
"In both major leagues the boys
who bat out the commercials were
in there trying at aH times and
they rarely faited to come through
in the pinches. The game, it seems
to me, is much faster than it used
to be. When I was a boy, a game
wouid go on all afternoon with no
reference to a cigar, a lubricant
or a drink. The emphasis seemed
to be on garters and cathartics all
via the old-fashioned billboards.
Advertising as a handmaiden of
the national game was minimized.
You could take it or ieave it.
"Today from the openin? cry
of Plav Hall' the contest tin-
gles with sales talks. Tliey are
not only using the livelier bat!
hut livelier jingles and selling
arguments.
"For years I took my baseball
without having my sales resistance
knocked over the fence, but today
it happens to me in every inning.
"Hitting, pitching and base run-
ning have improved tremendously
in bascba!!. So have enunciation
and merchandising. The twirling is
much better. The announcer throws
the commercial with terrific speed
but also has a change of pace.
* < *
"Thsy say that whoever Is
ahead .!uly 4 will finish as the
pennant winners. The Dodgers
and a couple of breweries were
out front on that date this year
in one league and the Yanks
and tobacco away out ahead in
the American. ! look for no
great change.
* < *
"The final result may he in-
fluenced somewhat by mishaps.
One of the top announcers in the
American league has developed
calcification of the vocal delivery
and may be out a few weeks. And
two announcers in the National are
out with lame tonsils."
< < *
What do you think of the Ath-
letics?" we asked.
"I would have to know more
about the product they sponsor,"
replied Mr. Twitchell.

What is a Call oi God?
Lesson for October 2, 1949
Do aM careers caH for special training?
Answer: You cannot do any job
well unless you know how to do it,
and the simplest way of finding this
out is to have someone who knows
how teach you. But this does not
mean that the only way to train
yourself for any kind of work is in
a school or college classroom. Many
leading newspapermen never at-
tended schools of journalism and
one of the great bacteriologists of
our time began as a porter in the
laboratory. If you can read and are
not afraid to study, there are rela-
tively few careers to which you
cannot aspire.
!s acne a serious problem?
Answer: Very serious indeed to
the adoiescent who is suffering
from it—ail the more because his
parents are so apt to feel that he is
"making a fuss over nothing." For
the biggest conscious problem of
the average teen-ager is "social
acceptance," and to feel he's seri-
ously handicapped in winning this
by a "disfigurement" may retard
or block his whole adjustment to
the adult world. Recommended
reading for all sufferers from this
difficulty is a new book, "The Skin
Problems of Young Men and Wom-
en," by Dr. Herbert Lawrence.
!s psychotherapy "for
doctors only"?
Answer: Most of the best psy-
chotherapists are doctors, and some
forms of mental illness ought not
to be treated except by a physician.
But since there are something like
ten times as many people in need
of help for emotional difficulties as
there are psychiatrists to treat
them, the plain fact is that much
of this help must come from non-
physicians, and that some of these
are fuiiy competent to give it. "Psy-
chiatric psychologists." says Dr.
George H. Preston, "are not as-
sistants to an all-wise medical psy-
chiatrist, but therapists in their
own tight."

Heiping the Aged Undergo Operation
By Dr. 7nmes W. Borfon
I
T IS NOT LONG since a physician
* in consultation with a surgeon
often decided not to allow an elder-
ly patient to undergo operation un-
less it wasa matter of life or death.
Because there are now so many
elderly men and women in the
world and they are beginning to
feel the effects of the aging process,
physicians and surgeons are study-
ing closely the problem of surgical
operation in the elderly.
In "Geriatrics," (disease of the
elderly) Dr. J. Dewey Bisgard
University of Nebraska College of
Medicine, states that there ts
greater need for team work be-
tween Me surgeon, Me internist
(specialist in internal diseases),
anesthetist, and other specialists
and that every detail in surgical
management must be cautiously
and carefully observed.
These patients should be studied
not bv their age in years but by
their'age physically, as some are
old at 50 and others are young at
I '"one
i the nourishment of the body, if the
n n t i e n t is undernourished, his
Rht Should be increased. While
it is admitted that lean men live
longer than fat men, it is knowr
that many elderly men and women
do not eat as much as they really
need to keep body strong, and tc
provide enough fat and other cover-
ings to protect the nerves and serve
as a food supply in an emergency.
Dr. Bisgard points out that with
the loss of fat there is a loss of
sugar from the sugar or glycogen
depots—skin, liver—and also loss
of protein (muscle tissue).
He suggests, therefore, that in
preparing a patient for surgical
operation an all round diet should
be given and the proteins—meat,
eggs, fish—should be increased. If
not enough proteins can be eaten by
the patient, then proteins in the
form of amino acids can be in-
jected into a vein.
Another suggestion is that the
elderly patient being prepared for
operation should be given enough
liquids to maintain Me proper
water balance but not enough to
have too much water in the tissues.
And during operation, no unneces-
sary bleeding should occur, as too
much loss of blood might cause
collapse.

In the electric shock treatment

TF YOU knew exactly what God
^ wanted you to do, would you
do it? Of courstj you wouid. The
trouble is: How does any one know
what God's will is?
For example, a
young man is
thinking about his
life's work; what
shall he choose?
Most young men
would do what
Mey were sure
God called them
to do. but what is
a call?
The story of
Isaiah throws some light on this
problem. (We are beginning Mis
week a three month's study of the
great prophets Isaiah and Jere-
miah.) True, he lived some 2700
years ago, and half way to the
other side of the world; but human
nature has not changcd hi 2700
years.
t * *
From Man about Town
To Man of God
TSAIAH was a young man about
^ town, in the small but wealthy
city of Jerusalem, about 700 years
before Christ. He was a personal
friend of all the important people,
a man of good education, with
wide horizons of interest, of inde-
pendent means, eloquent, polished,
the sort of man who makes a good
career diplomat.
He telts in some detai! the
story of how he came to be a
prophet. The story is in Isaiah
R. Perhaps if we had been
there with a camera and a wire
recorder we might have been
able to photograph the sera-
phim and take down their
cries, just as Isaiah saw and
heard them.
What we do know is that Mat
experience changed Isaiah's life.
Up to that time (on his own show-
ing) he had been a "man of un-
clean lips:" from that time on he
begantobeaspokesmatiforthe
Lord. Let us try to say what the
story of that' life-changing vision,
that call, means in terms of our
own experience.
The Ftame of God
T?1RST there was Me overwhelm-
^ ing sense of God's reality and
power and holy majesty. No one
can ever experience a call who
does not take God spriously.
A God "afnr off." a God
who is only a problem, an idea,
a hypothesis, never catted any
one. Go3 alone can m:;ke him-
self rent to man: and onlv a
man with a real sense of a
living God is going to hear his
call.
Next came Isaiah's realization
of his own unfitness and sin A
man who feels equal ton grcit
task is probably not eotta! to it.
"Them as knows nawthin' fears
nawthin'." as the Irish say. A
man who feels pood enottrh to
serveGod. justashpis. isnotpood
enough. A man without a sense of
sin is too full of it.
Then comes the burning coal
from the altar; Isaiah feels that
his guilt is gone. No one can fully
do God's will with an unforpiven
heart. Isaiah was not sinless at one
stroke, of course, yet it is nossih'p
to tiirn from all known sin; it is
possible to devote one's loyaltv to
God: and this Isaiah did.
It was only then that he
heard the caH: Whom shalt I
send? In modern and less nle-
turescue language. Isaiah was
conscious of a need he had n <t
felt before—that is. of God's
need, of his people's need.
What those needs were will
come out in later studies. The
point is that young Isaiah, who
hitherto had lived onlv for himself,
now saw the need of the city and
the people am*"^* "'^om he lived.
* * *
"Here Am !;
Send Me."
*THEN comes the last stage—
^ Isaiah's willing offer of himT^'f.
His great talent was Me ability
to use language. He could make
words march and sing as few men
of any race have done. But tin to
that time, it seems, his gift of
eloquence had been used chiefly
in telling dirty stories
Now he has renented. and
been forgiven, and be says to
God: Use me. His voice, his
knowtedge, h i s eloquence,
which he had been using
against God (or at he<t. onlv
for Isaiah) he was now to use
for God and man.
So there is a caH: A sense of
God, near and commanding and
holy; repentance: foreivenrss; a
sense of need: wiHiqgness to dp
vote all one's gifts to fill that need

Plugging Leaks
Tiny leaks in fuel oi) tanks and
water boilers can be plugged by
the amateur, temporarily, at
least. Get a tiny "self-threading"
metal screw; put it haifway
through the teak with a screw-
driver; then seai it by rubbing
paraffin or candle wax under the
head of the screw.
Spots on Concrete
Oil spots on concrete often can
be removed with cleaning fluid.
If Me spots are old, mix up a
paste of cleaning fluid and Ful-
ier's earth. Spread the paste on
the spots and wait until it's com-
pletely dry before sweeping it off
with a broom.
