Dale Carnegie PEOPLE RESPOND TO PATIENCE Here is an incident told me by Marie Harnden, registered nurse, connected with the Eye Insti tute in New York City. Miss Harnden is a Canadian and it will interest you to know that her experiences and obser vations have brought her to the conclusion that when it comes to handling people, those in our mental institutions are like you and me, differing only in degree. One night she was on duty in the line room of the hospital where she trained when one ot the mentsl patients stormed in to her room. The girl's face was led with anger. and emotion. As she approached Miss Harnden, she shouted and waved ner arms and shook her fists threatening ly as if she meant to strike this fume for something entirely alien to anything she had done. Did Miss Harnden shout back at her in an effort to force her to be quiet? Did she call an at tendant to force this poor tired patient to be still? No, she did Just what she should have done, and just what should have been done had that patient been some one from the outside world with what she thought was a rightful airing of a grievous wrong. In ether words, just what you ?hould do if someone became! angry with you. She merely waited until the patient had spent her anger, then ?he said patiently, quietly, in the gentlest and friendliest of tones, "What is the matter, Mary?" Quick as a flash the storm in this patient's mind abated. She looked up at Miss Harnden and ?aid with a smile, "Oh. hello, nurse." And all the trouble was over. Says Miss Harnden, "We all '? have depressions, fears, elations and conflicts. In mental illness, the difference is only in degree and past the control or reasoning ' ability of the sick person. Whether a person is normally ad justed ' or whether lie is ab normal, all respond to under standing. patience, gentleness and kindness. I SOME SNOR1NGI Verona, N. J. ?

Wants Government To Save Him from Ducks ? _ ? ? Washington ? A baffled Mon tana farmer lifted a desperate cry for the government to save him from the ducks. Nearly beaten in the game of matching his wits against the ap petites of 5,000 wildfowl, Erwin Weinheimer of Lewiston wrote Senator Ecton (R-Mont.) asking for a "fair chance and an equal opportunity for the farmer." "It just doesn't seem to me that it is the "American way" for the government to protect the duckj and in turn not to protect the farmer from them," he said. Maybe the government should feed the ducks, he suggested. Here is a nibble-by-nibble ac count of the happenings around the Warm Springs Creek, Mont., countryside, as told by Wein heimer: To begin with, he was hailed out last Summer. But having 50 head of cows to feed through the winter (he cut 35 acres of hail damaged barley ar.u some wheat and stacked it for use as hay. All winter there were 500 ducks around Weinheimer's place. That is until two weeks ago. Then, about 5,000 of their hungry relatives moved in and cast their eyes on Weinheimer's haystacks. "So they stated tearing into the stacks," the farmer explain ed briefly and bitterly. '*You would think that ducks couldn't hurt a stack very much," he wrote Ecton. "I didn't either ? but after the first day they had dug into the stacks about three or four feet at the base." Scare them away? They wouldn't scare. Whatever Weinheimer tried ? and he tried about everything ? was a disappointment, and the ducks went right on feeding on his haystacks. He said the Federal game agent advised him that he could try scaring the ducks with blank shotgun shells, but warned him not to kill any, or he might be haled into court. The ducks didn't budge when the blanks went off. Finally Weinheimer bought some netting and put it around the base of his stacks. "Then the ducks started going on top of the stacks." Weinheimer went out anc | bought more netting and put ii |on top of his haystacks. But h? icouldn't win ? I He couldn't get to the hay t< feed his cows. ? All he asks, Weinheimer said is legislation "to give fair treat ment to both the farmer and th? ducks."
