Tm Okay — The \\ oriel's A Madhouse!'
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK <JP — How can you
toll if you’re normal?
There is great interest in mental
health today in a world so con
fused and confusing that every
one at times feels so mixed up
he must be off his rocker.
The chaos is compounded by
the amateur prescribers, who feel
that having read 10 pages of Sig
mund Freud entitles them to turn
every cocktail party into a session
of group therapy.
This is the kind of person who
used to have a cure for the com
mon cold that never worked. Now
he feels entitled to dip his clammy
hands into your mind and play
marbles with your phobias and
fears, or separate your id from
your idiocies.
Perhaps such a person has you
convinced you are hopelessly neu
rotic.
But are you really?
We have prepared a small guide
for the mentally perplexed that
may be of help to you. Ask your
self the following questions:
Do you, while making a deposit
at a bank, often wonder secretly,
how hard it would be to rob the
place?

Are you convinced that most
repairmen are engaged in a con
spiracy to rob you blind?
Does the butcher habitually give
1 your neighbor a better piece of
• meat than he does you?
Arc you sometimes terrified by
whether you should eat your des
I sert with a fork or spoon?
Do you often feel that every
i other stopper in the supermarket ;
is trying to push in front of you :
in the checkout line?
During an argument with your
wife, if male logic fails to impress
her. do you find yourself resort
ing to shouting?
While shaving, do you talk to
yourself in the mirror more often
than you did 10 years ago?
If you answered yes to all these,
quit worrying about your mental
health. Your mind is as sound as
a nut. You are just neurotic enough
to be properly adjusted in a world
in which a guy who has no sus
picion also lacks the common
sense to know what’s really going
on.

Only by being unreasonable now
and then can you stay normal in
an abnormal time.

29 Years Ago Today • . .
Editor's Note: 29 years ago, in
September. 1934. Nome suffered
near-extinction by a widespread
fire which ravaged the center of
the town The Nome Nugget’s rec
ords were destroyed entirely, and
this feature recalls to mind events

ning of existing continuous rec
ords — 29 years ago.
