Controversy over careers
THE NEWS-TELEGRAM. Sulphur Springs. Taxas, Friday, Feb. 22, 1980—3.
dear dr BLAKER - I
am a high-school student who
is interested in handwriting
analysis as a career.
My problem is that no one
seems to take it very serious-
ly. They put it in the same cat-
egory as palm reading and
crystal-ball gazing.
I am beginning to feel that
something is wrong with me
because I find the idea of ana-
lyzing handwriting so fasci-
nating.
Do you think it is a nutty
thing to want to do?
DEAR READER - No. but
it is controversial.
Graphology - which the
dictionary definies as "the
-study TJf handwriting, espe-
cially as a clue to character,
aptitudes, etc.” — is not gen-
erally recognized as a legiti-
mate area of study.
That is due partly to the
dearth of psychologists who
know much about handwriting
analysis.
It is also a result of the
alarming success of commer-
cial enterprises Selling corre-
spondence courses on
handwriting analysis. Tens of
thousands of people have been
“trained" as “psychodiagnos-
ticians” jn the mysterious
methods of revelation through
the “hand ”
The people who warn you
against graphology may be
thinking about these charla-
tans who give handwriting
analysis a bad name
Another negative factor in
the growth of the field may lie
in the simple fact that almost
every American writes. All of
them could therefore fall vic-
tim to surreptitious handwrit-
ing analysis.
This threat of the illicit use
of graphology may be a major
contributor to its suspect
status.
A more practical difficulty
of pursuing a career in gra*»
phology is the lack of institu-
tions of higher learning where
you can study the subject.
Florence R. Anthony
reports that the only accredit-
ed college program in gra-
phology is taught by herself
and her husband, Daniel, at
the New School for Social
Research in New York City.

are seriously considering gra-
phology as a career.
Remember, many men and
women! 'are famous today"
because they had the courage
to tackle controversial fields
of study. - ----
DEAR DR BLAKER - I
am a 35-year-old woman look-
ing for my first paying job.
The more I look around, the
more I think 1 would like to
talk on a telephone hot line
with suicidal people
My family thinks I’m crazy.
They say I would be upset all
the time and miserable to live
with
Is it an unrealistic plan? Do
you think I would get too
upset?
DEAR READER - Luckily
you have chosen a field in
which you can get your feet
wet as a volunteer.
Sign up at your nearest
crisis-intervention center or
hot line. Go through the train-
ing and start working
Some people find the job too
emotionally draining while
others seem to thrive on help-
ing others under pressure.
Feeling low? Raise your
eral interest will be discussed
in future columns.

Sweet problem
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am a
hypoglycemic person and my
doctor tells me to eat more
sugar and more carbohy-
drates. I’m now 215 pounds
and getting bigger by the day.
I’d like your diet on this.
DEAR READER - The
type of hypoglycemia (low
blood sugar) that you have
may make some difference
but most of the time doctors
recommend that individuals
who have problems with low
blood sugar should avoid
sweets, particularly sugar and
starches. These individuals
should get their carbohy-
drates from bulky and raw
vegetables and raw fruits.
I am sending you The
Health Letter number 3-9,
Low Blood Sugar: Hypogly-
cemia. Other readers who
want this issue can send 75
cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it.
Send your request to me, in
care of this newspaper, P.O.
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019. The
Health Letter I’m sending you
gives the details of the symp-
toms of low blood sugar and
the principles used in dietary
management.
Many patients who have
hypoglycemia tend to become
markedly overweight. The
constant overproduction of
insulin stimulates them to eat
to raise their blood sugar to
normal levels. This is true
even if the low blood sugar is
caused by a tumor of the insu-
lin-producing part of the
pancreas.
As you may have gathered
from the above remark, there
are many different causes for
hypoglycemia. The treatment
varies. Obviously, if a person
has an insulin-producing
tumor, the proper treatment
is to remove it. On the other
hand, if a person has so-called
reactive hypoglycemia sec-
ondary to diet or problems
related to absorption of food,
then the proper approach is
usually to change the diet.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’d
like some information on not
being able to perspire. I’m 23
and have had this problem
since puberty. It affects my
arms, hands, knees and feet. I
cannot go out into the sun or
humidity for any length of
time. I saw a doctor and he
told me to stay away from
salt and to use strong sun
screens and to take pills to
open my pores. What, if
anything, is this doing to my
system? Is this a rare prob
lem and can I ever get com-
pletely cured? Will I ever be
able to spend the day at the
beach?
DEAR READER -
Absence of perspiration is a
rare condition. Sometimes it
can affect the whole body or it
can affect localized regions.
Perspiration is an important
mechanism of cooling the
body. In fact, at the onset of a
heat stroke a person may stop
sweating, which is a signal
that he’s not eliminating body
heat.
You should see a neurolo-
gist. Sweating does depend on
the presence of functional
sweat glands in the skin. It
also depends on nerve stimu-
altion of these glands to
secrete sweat. Various defects
in nerve fibers and nerve sys-
tems can cause an absence of
perspiration. There are also
some skin diseases which can
cause it.
Avoid exposure to the heat
until after you’ve talked about
this with the neurologist. You
may have a very poor toler-
ance to heat because your
ability to eliminate body heat
has been compromised.

Homework Illegal In
Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
— With a blaze of green
voting lights and a slam of
the gavel, a flint-sized
assembly in the Tennessee
House approved a bill
outlawing homework.
Rep. Steve Cobb, D-
Nashville, presided over the
vote, which came as he
escorted the group of fifth
graders In a tour of the
chamber before the real
session began.
“Promise me one thing —
don’t touch any papers on the
legislators’ desks,” he told
the 30 youngsters.
Cobb stepped up to the
Speaker's podium, slammed
the gavel as several kids
bolted upright and called a
boy to the lower podium
where lawmakers introduce
bills.
“We want to ban
homework at Ezell-
Harding,” Trevor Smith said
with a giggle. “I move
passage.”
"Any seconds?” Cobb
asked. Most of the childrens’
arms went up in a shot.
Asked o for opposing
comment, teacher Teresa
Grimes, said, “The children
need homework so they can
learn everything they can.”
Told to vote at the bell, the
kids stretched for
lawmakers’ ballot buttons.
“The ayes have it 26 to 1,”
House Clerk David Welles
announced as the children
cheered, clapped and shook
each others’ hands.
REACHING FOR VICTORY in the New Hampshire prima-
ry, George Bush takes part in a YMCA class in aerobic
exercise. Such events are common in the Bush campaign,
although the 55-year-old candidate insists he js not trying

Friends welcome
in teen’s home?
By ROBERT
WALLACE. Ed.I).
Copley News Service
Dr. Wallace: I’m 17. a
girl, and very mentally ma-
ture for my age. My prob-
lem Is that my mother won’t
allow me to have any boys
in the house unless she is
there. There is absolutely no
reason why she should not
trust me.
Once in a while a boy will
stop by just to visit and if
my mom isn’t home, we’ve
got to stand out on the front
porch, come rain or shine.
Dr. Wallace, I’m innocent
and I think my mother is
inconsiderate. I’d appreci-
ate your opinion — Sandra,
Hayward, Calif.
Sandra: I agree with you.
The home should always
welcome teen’s friends until
the teen or the friends dem-
onstrate that they cannot be
trusted. But any time
friends (either sex) visit
when parents are not home,
the parent should be told
that friends were over and
who the friends were.
Dr. Wallace: I'm 14 and 1
love this 18-year old guy
very much. I have had my
eye on him for the last three
yean and believe me, it’s
not puppy love.
My problem is that I don’t
see him that much and we
only talk once in awhile.
How can I get him? Help! —
Jenny, Colorado Springs,
Colo.
Jenny: I honestly don’t
think you can get him, so I
can’t give much help.
If in three years you have
only progressed to talkir^
with him once in awhile, it
might be many more years
before you have him calling
on you. Don’t waste your
time.

What’s up in resumes?
With many economists foreseeing Increased unem-
ployment, you might be well advised to get your
resume in order
Here are some tips for writing a winning resume
from executive-search consultant John S. Studwell:
— Don't feel you must have your resume profes-
sionally prepared Such resumes often look and read
too much alike The resume you prepare yourself is
more likely to be the most effective and reflective of
you.
— Don't use offbeat formats, type or paper Use a
clear typeface in black ink on letter-size paper. A
printer can easily offset 100 or 200 copies from a
clean master
— Don’t restrict yourself to one page of copy if you
really need the extra space. But do not go beyond
three pages.
— Don't make careless errors in grammar or spell-
ing.
— Don’t lie about such vital facts as education and
job experience Statements in your resume are likely
to be checked closely — even after hiring. If an
employer discovers that you falsely claimed a degree
or job title, you may be fired immediately.
— Don't write in vague generalities or boast at
length of accomplishments that have little bearing on
your career Stick to an easy-to-follow format. For
example: name, address and phone, personal data:
education (omit elementary and secondary school);
experience (listing your most recent job first and
working back); other data, such as hobbles and asso-
ciation memberships.

What's up in debt?
More and more Americans are up to their furrowed
foreheads in debt. Take this quick test from the Money
Management Institute to see if you may heading for
financial trouble;
1. Is an increasing percentage of your income going to
pay off debts?
2. Are you near or at the limit on your lines of credit?
3. Are you extending repayment schedules — for
example, paying in 60 or 90 days the bills you once paid in
30?
4. Can you only make the minimum payments on your
revolving charge accounts?
5. Are you paying bills with money earmarked for
something else9
6. Are you borrowing to pay for items you used to buy
with cash?
7. Are you chronically late in paying your bills?
8. Are you lapping your savings to pay current bills?
9. Is your savings cushion inadequate or nonexistent?
10. Do you take out a new loan before the old one is
paid off, or take out a new loan out to pay off the old one?
11. Do you put off medical or denial visits because you
can t afford them right now?
12. Are you threatened with repossession of your car
or credit cards or with other legal action?
13. Are you working overtime just to make ends meet?
14. If you lost your job, would you be in immediate
financial difficulty?
15. Are you unsure about how much you owe?
16. Do you worry a lot about money?
A “yes'1 answer to any of these questions — though
not necessarily a sign of impending doom — indicates
that you should revise your spending plan, cut back on
credit use and be alert for other signs of overspending.
