PAGE 20-PLAINDEALER- FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1973 CI XVowty, I inic • Eileen decided it was an im­ possibility to follow Christ's suggestion about loving our enemies. She said she had tried without any success. But when she used the "Compliment dub" strategy, see what happened! It really produces magical results! Bv - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M L ) . CASE H-563: Eileen B., aged 14, is a high schooler. "Dr. Crane," she asked in the forum period following my address to her Sunday School, "there is a girl in my high school class who is my enemy. "She seems to hate me and is always trying to do mean things. "Yet the Bible says I should love my enemies "But though I have tried, I simply cannot love her! "I've prayed and asked my mother for advice, but I just can't love her. "So how can we follow Christ's command about loving our enemies when they con­ stantly do irritating things to us7" r. UN HULY EMOTIONS It is not possible to turn on your emotions just by an act of will power. For example, though you promise me that tomorrow at this very moment you will be frothing at the mouth in rage or trembling in fear or shedding tears of grief, what will hap­ pen? Well, even though you are reminded tomorrow of your previous promise, you cannot experience those emotions just because of your vow to me. No, indeed! Emotions must be evoked or resurrected by the situation in which you find yourself on that later date. So Christ's advice to love our enemies requires psychological strategy. Start with this axiom, namely, that nobody can think ill of you if you have previously shown that you think well of that other person! WHO KNOWS? 1. Define ebullient. 2.

Maybe your first bit of praise will not change your enemy into a devoted friend. But it will start the thawing- out process, so keep it up. Soon your hated enemy will begin to think you have good judgment. Then the enemy may actually pay you a com­ pliment in return. And this starts the duet of "horn tooting," where each of you toots the other person's horn. All a marriage consists of is an original duet of horn tooters, each of whom tooted the other's horn consistently till a proposal occurred! And this "Compliment Club" strategy is the ONLY way by which you can produce the effect which Jesus urged when he told us to love our enemies. Eileen agreed to try and the next day, being Monday, she paid her enemy a compliment on her naturally curly hair. The girl was too surprised to speak. Next day Eileen praised her enemy's new frock. This time she got a "Thank you." The third day she used the deft indirect method and asked her enemy for some advice. By the end of two weeks, they were on a conversational basis and at the end of a month, Eileen's former "enemy" had invited her to her home for a birthday party. Eileen now had no difficulty in loving her enemy! It merely required deliberate conscious control of her vocal cords in the use of a few sincere com­ pliments. Send for the "Compliment Club" booklet, enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, and launch upon this most valuable experiment in Applied Psychology. ARRIVE ALIVE . . .

Whether your thing is a healthy lawn, bright petunias, or freshly painted patio furniture, watch for health hazards out­ doors. Chemical weed killers, spray paints, and fertilizers should all be handled with care, says the American Medical Association. Otherwise they could harm you even as they help the appearancs of your backyard. Here are some guidelines for summer safety. 1. Keep all chemicals, includ ing gasoline for power mowers, in their original containers. If you transfer them to pop bottles and mayonnaise jars, you're throwing away important instruc­ tions or warnings on the label and taking a chance on not being able to identify the item when you need it next week. If poisonous substances are swallowed, iiyluce vomiting. How­ ever, this should NOT be done if the victim is unconscious or semiconscious, in convulsions or pregnant, or has swallowed a strong acid, alkali, or petroleum substance. Instead, administer a cup of vegetable oil, followed by milk or water to help dilute the poison and protect the stomach. Seek medical help immediately. 2. Scrub with plenty of soap and wat°r after handling garden­ ing materials to prevent chemi­ cals from irritating the skin. 3. If a pesticide label warns against skin contact, wear pro- tective clothing such as gloves, long sleeved shirt, and long, cuff- less pants when using the mater­ ial. Cover up when painting, too, to reduce the need for washing with turpentine later. THE HANDS seen in the Mark Spitz commercial for Shick were not those of Spitz, but belonged to a pro­ fessional hand modeler. In the TV business handsome hands can find themselves holding many dollars. The going rate for lending a hand 4. When applying pesticides, or spray paints, make sure the breeze blows the spray away from the gardener and such water sources as stream, ponds, and wells. Also, keep pets and chil­ dren away from the area and don't smoke or eat while doing this job. WANT MOtC INFORMATION?

BRITISH made "America" won an Emmy recently as "outstanding new series" of the past,season. However. NBC ran the award-winning programs in late evenings, after the school children Mad gone to bed. Now Xerox has managed to clear a line-up of over fifty stations to re­ peat the 13-week documen­ tary no later than 8-9 p.m., beginning mid-September. Who says computers don't have hearts?
