You’ll find that people who make such need- le-like points think with extreme rapidity. They can literally ‘see' an argument or discussion almost, you would imagine, without stop- ping to think at all. Hence we call this type of thought process instinctive thinking. Such writers grasp ideas instantly. spontan- eously. By Alex Sjoberg (C.G.A. - I.G.A.S.) This week we return to the strokes only will do well to slow thought process.

A, -,4 A‘-a‘._ We have found among young persons who write like this and who at the same time lack analyt- ical powers that often they create problems for themselves. Unless the analytical is developed such problem children can grow up to become problem adults. Whether such problems become unman- ageable depend on many factors which need not concern us here. Of course, don't assume that just because you find the needle- llke points in a friend’s writing that you can say: “Hah! You cre- ate problems for yourself!" There may be no problems whatsoever because everything in writing must be evaluated before a con- clusion is reached. Character In Handwriting (IO) But this much is to be said. A person whose writing shows a predominance of instinctive What Type Of Thinker' Do You Think You Are?i Christmas to (By Doris FitzGeraid) Christmas can be a sad time for sick and lonely people, and especially for the thousands of patients in Canadian Mental Hos- pitals, many of whom have nei- ther relations nor friends. Recog- nizing their deep need for as- surance that the community still cares, and hopes for ‘their recov- ery, the Canadian Mental Health Association has, for the past three years, been trying to bring these men and women a bit of cheer and encouragement through attractively wrapped, personal. Christmas gifts. To launch this year's Canada-wide campaign, Lady Eaton, National chairman of the Christmas Gift Project, held an At Home on Wednesday, November 22, at Craigwoid, To- ronto, for presidents and repre- sentatives of all divisions of the Canadian Mental Health As- sociation in Ontario. Welcoming the many guests were Dr. John Griffin, National director of the Canadian Mental Health Assoc- iation, and Mrs. Philip A. Townâ€" ashend-Carter. Thornhill, Presi- dent of the York County branch {of C.M.H.A. and chairman for Ontario of the Christmas Gift Project. Also attending from this district was Mrs. Donald Strick- land, chairman of the Christ- mas Gift project for York county. and during the balance of the year, one of the 150 White Cross Volunteers, her specialty being to visit women patients and help them with their clothes, and per- sonal appearance. The C.H.M.A. is not asking for money said Mrs. Strickland, but suggests that we more fortunate people share our Christmas happiness by adding an extra present to our shopping lists. Acceptable items ar' cigarettes. shaving cream, socks, playing cards, hose, cosme- tics, aprons etc. Not wanted are perishable foods, scissors, nail files, razors. matches, lighters or liquid perfumes. In York County there are about 800 pa- tients in hospitals and approved homes to be remembered and the campaign for gifts runs from December 1 to December 15.

Christmas Bazaar Successful The first taste of Christmas in the neighbourhood was sampled at the annual Harmony Club Christmas Bazaar, staged by the ladies of Brown's Corners United Church the last Saturday in November. Buyers flocked to the home baking booth. the candy booth and apron table. Everything for tiny tots and milady were found in the miscel- laneous booth. One member had donated small potted flowering begonias and ivy and this table was well patron- ized as was the white elephant table. The coffee um and tea pot were kept hot for those wishing re- freshment, and this was a popu- lar corner. aLtractively centred as it was with a tea table attractively appointed with lace, silver and flowers. Proceeds were approximately $485.00. Harmony Club president Mrs. A. W. Miller opened the event. Neighbourhood Notes event. At the close of the evening, Neighbourhood Notes refreshments were served and The neighbourhood Sparkles there was_ a friendly hour of with Christmas trimmings, but visiting enjoyed.

It’s normal to be rea- sonably cautious. but neurotic to be overly cautious to the point the daily functions of living are interfered with. It’s normal to be reasonably generous but neurotic when it becomes extravagance so that your family suffers as a result. Hence the person who thinks rapidly. spontaneously, without analyzing, is bound to find himself in difficulties some- times, and can be on the road to neuroticism. Let’s put it another way. Suppose someone slights you who are easily hurt. It will be normal to feel hurt but neurotic to place all the emphasis on the hurt without trying to under- staind why the hurt was commlt- te . Here’s an example of a purely instinctive thinker who did not analyze. He and a friend had din- ed at a roadside restaurant and were driving along the highway when the friend said mischiev- ously: “By eating what you did you broke a tenet of your faith, you know. If we have an accident now and you're killed, you’re go- ing straight to Hell. You under- stand that, don’t you?" The driver laughed, but a few moments later he broke out into a cold sweat. pulled over to the side of the road, mopped his brow and said nervously: “You had better drive." In a flash he had seen himself roasting on hot coals, smelling his singeing skin. But he simply did not stop to analyze either the reason for his friend’s words or anything else. The instinctive thought process mixed with the creative or the exploratory and the analytical, is a valuable tool. ' What about your thought pro- cess?

Good books well illustrated are a fine emo- tional outlet for the child.
