As the Psychologist Sees You

Hail and Farewell
Perhaps it would be difficult to select the one thing most difficult for a person to do because there is such a wide range of activities possible. It would depend upon many things such as physical and mental factors, interests and desires, and past experiences. To a young child it might be nothing more impressive than taking castor oil or doing his homework. A youth somewhat older might consider having to propose to the girl of his dreams as being the most difficult task before him. Someone even older might think of it as the difficulty in asking his boss for a raise.
Your correspondent finds himself in much the same position. About the time this comes off the press I shall be winging my way to Europe to spend two months abroad. This should be a simple task –in fact one might think of it as not a task at all. Yet, it is a difficult chore to leave behind, even for a relatively short time, a possession as valuable as a two year old son. I can well feel for the many members of the armed forces who have to go overseas for even longer periods. So, when I say ‘Hail and farewell” it becomes the most difficult of tasks.
On this trip I shall attempt to study a problem which so far has been relatively unanswered. In the previous issue I spoke of the Juvenile Delinquency problem. Now I am trying to find some way sto prevent delinquency. It is like the weather, everyo9ne talks about it but no one does anything about it. As long as we have the money we can build more detention houses and as long as there are people we can hire more probation officers. But how are we going to prevent this growing need? That really is the $64 question.
During my absence this column will be in the capable hands of four of my colleagues. Dr. Daniel Harris, of the U.S. Marine Recruit Depot, will be the first to give you some of his thoughts on matters psychological. He will be followed by Dr. Oscar Kaplan of San Diego State College. On May 17 you will have the benefit of the words of Dr. Harry Ruja, another member of the faculty of State College. Finally, Charles F. Manucia, in private practice in the city, will complete the list of guests columnists. I shall be back with you early in June.
Perhaps what I find in Europe will offer some suggestions for our use back here. I hope so. Until then, I can only reverse the heading of the current column and say farewell until I return to greet you with the word hail.

Census of San Diego Asks Co-operation
Southwestern Jewish Press, April 5, 1957, Page 12
425 Census enumerators will start knocking on doors to determine the present size of the City of San Diego. These census takers will carry proper identification and all the information obtained is accorded confidential treatment by law.
Information to be obtained consists of the names, ages, sex and race of all occupants living in each household and the number of rooms (excluing bathrooms in each unit) in addition to whether the unit is occupied by the owner, renter or rent-free and, if occupied by a renter, the amount of the monthly rent.
Anyone who will be away from the city during the next ten days is asked to record the above information (along with their address) on a piece of paper, place it in a sealed envelope and leave it with their neighbor, so that they will be sure to be counted.
The importance to the people of San Diego to be sure they are counted is indicated by the fact that certain tax money is returned to the city based on current population, as certified by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and at the present time this is about $7.00 per person.

“Get busy on your Donor Books — only one month to go before the drawing. Ruth Barber, our newest member, won the “Jack Pot” at the meeting on March 19th and she received credit for half of her donor. Be sure to attend the meeting on Thursday, April 18th so you’ll have a chance to be the lucky winner. This is our Membership Meeting and there will be no charge for the dessert being served (no lunch that day as its Chol Amoid Pesach). Bring potential new members – we need them and they need us.
Did you know that Tony Martin, the movie star, is chairman of the City of Hope Medical Research Society — the newly established organization of laymen and women interested in advancing scientific research.”
