PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, i960 ROBERT MCISIKHNTOW. Ph.D. psychologist for th« Family Strvice and Community Mental Health Canter for McHenry Coanty (Editor's note: • This is another article in the Today's Psychology weekly series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. The topic this week is "Pleasure" ) We ail realize the im­ portance of taking care of our physical needs. We take great pains to insure that ourselves and the people we care about eat the proper foods with the right amount of vitamins and minerals. If we get sick and have to go to the doctor, most of us will religiously take the medication which he or she is prescribed. Yet, how many of us have ever considered the notion that pleasure and enjoyment might be as necessary for emotional health as vitamins and minerals are to physical health. Pleasure deprivation can and does lead to emotional problems. People deprived of pleasure can experience numerous symptoms including fatigue, boredom, and depression. Life can seem like a burden and some people may have to drag themselves through the day on pure willpower. How did we lose this capacity to experience pleasure? As a child, you instinctively knew how to enjoy yourself. There was no need to go to school or get training in this area for the ability to enjoy yourself came as naturally as breathing. There must be something therefore, that we do to block ourselves from letting go and having fun. One way we may block ourselves is by believing that having fun is not okay. We may tell ourselves that we do not deserve pleasure and that people who pleasure themselves are selfish and irresponsible. Such an at­ titude is completely un­ founded and in actuality the opposite is usually the case. Those who deprive them­ selves of pleasure are often actually involved in making sure that others are equally deprived. It is as if their goal in life is to make sure that everyone is as" equally miserable as they are. They derive a perverse pleasure in feeling superior to others who give in to their "lower impulses." I knew a man once who believed that pleasure and fun were an important and necessary part of life. He always seemed happy and enthusiastic and his eyes sparkled with delight. When I asked him what his secret was, he told me that it was simple. Every day, for at least a half hour, he would do something just for himself that felt good. Some days he might take a warm bath or a leisurely walk in the park. At other times he would take himself out to eat, feeling free to order anything he desired. No matter what, he never missed a day because he made this time priority. After he finished telling me about his program, all I could do was laugh. I thought to myself, "What a perfectly delightful idea," and began picturing the pleasurable activities that I might begin to add to my life. * • * • The best advice for modern young people, facing all sorts of prop­ aganda, is the singl simple word: think. , Announcing the formation of the Woodstock Music Theatre festival, the new resident professional company of the Woodstock Opera House, in Woodstock, 111. The festival will be under the leadership of Douglas C. Rankin (executive director), of the Woodstock Opera house, and Fred Solari (managing director) and. Michael Maggio (artistic director), formerly of Chicago's SCT productions. The first season will open with the Midwest premiere of "Spokesong", written by Stewart Parker, music by Jimmy Kennedy, lyrics by Mr. Parker. "Spokesong" wilt be directed by Michael Maggio and will open at the Wood­ stock Opera House on Wednesday, July 9, I960. The goal of the company, according to artistic director Michael Maggio, is "....to present a major, < annual festival celebrating in­ novative musical theatre, dedicated to the preser­ vation of the American Musical theatre, as an art form, and the development of new works.!' . In addition to "Spokesong", the first season will include a series of events offered to patrons in conjunction with the Woodstock Opera House Community center. Some of the events under con­ sideration are: a series of classic movie musicals, matinee discussions, tours of the Opera House, and a concert performance by a cabaret act. Subsequent seasons will include three or four musical productions, running from May through September, and a continuing work-in- progress program which will develop new musicals for future production. The Festival's first of­ fering, "Spokesong", is a play with songs set in war- torn northern ^reland which tells of a young shop owner with a passion for bicycles whose idealistic attitude toward life is symbolized by his belief that the bicycle should replace the auto as a safer, more efficient mode of urban transportation. The Woodstock Opera House is located near Illinois Route 47, about 14 miles north of the Northwest Tollway (1-90), in Wood­ stock, 111., a town of ap­ proximately 15,000 people, 50 miles" northwest of Chicago's Loop. Information about the festival or the first production may be obtained by calling (815) 338-5300 or in Chicago (312) 889-8602. McHenry Libn WHAT S NEW pary bfegins Mai Blast-off Sfegins May 28.

Farm-ln-Zoo Guide Now In Development Farmers are developing a comprehensive teachers' resource guide for persons visiting the Farm-in-the-zoo at Lincoln park, Chicago, and McHenry County Farm Bureau is one of the par­ ticipating sponsors. Larry Harris, Farm Bureau manager, said many thousands of visitors tour the exhibit each year, and Farm Bureau members regularly supply animals for the displays. Farm-in-the-zoo is a model livestock farm, and programs tell about life on the farm and the raising of animals. Beef and dairy cattle, horses, broilers and layers, hogs, goats and sheep are on display. In-* formational displays in each building and a milking demonstration are featured. The teachers' guide will contain information about the farm, including a slide film program and background data on the types of livestock displayed. Class projects relating to a. field trip to the farm, and self-guided tours which students can use to teach themselves more about the animals will be incorporated in the guide. McHenry County Farm Bureau is a member of the Northeast Illinois County Farm Bureau Consumer Information committee which sponsors programs to tell consumers about agriculture and the role farming plays in the lives of city people. "This program will give children a look at agriculture in a way they'll remember," said Harris. "We expect to have the project . completed by August." The Illinois Agricultural association information staff in consultation with teachers and educators will head the production of this resource guide. • ••• The individualist is one who thinks-for himself and, when necessary, by himself.- * * * • Be charitable, if you can, in the judgment of others;, save severity for your own mistakes. | The McHenry Plaindealer I Mil WM But Sir--l (utfsm-Mo) liars Mwmsis-sas-air* S«Mirf fl.w >m.|» 1 Wtll-- | Wlmto •r McHCNtV PUUISHMG COMPANY POSTMASTER: %m4 rifan dmtfm to McHmih P1«ln<i»Ui.
