was appliqued with re-embroid-

seed pearls and beads, and the
cathedral-length train and veil
were of matching accents. The
veil was attached to a flowered

bouquet.
Serving her sister as maid of

NCJW Initiates
Domestic Training
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (JTA) — A
Jewish women's organization has
stimulated creation of a federally-
funded program in northern Vir-
ginia to train Negro women from
poverty areas to serve as well-paid
skilled domestics.
The Alexandria section of the
•
National Council of Jewish Women,
which initiated the program, de-
scribed it as being based on the
premise that domestic work can be
skilled, dignified, protected and de-
cently paid.
In its first six months, the section
has reported, the program has al-
ready made "a crucial difference
in the lives of several dozen work-
ing women."
Joining with Church Women
United, the National Council of
Negro Women, the National Coun-
cil of Catholic Women and the
Urban League, the NCJW section
helped to create SURGE, an ac-
ronym for Services United for Re-
sponsible and Gainful Employment.

Characteristics of Mental Health
Tests Theory of the 'Melting Pot'
Dr. Charlotte Buhler, noted psy-1
cholgist who has gained world fame
for her work, together with her
husband, Prof. Carl Buhler, in the
field of psychotherapy, provides a
valuable guide for an understand-
ing of a variety of problems in
Psychology in Contemporary Liv- I
ing," published by Hawthorns
Books.
In this extensive study, which
has been translated from the Ger-
man by Hella Freud Bernays, Dr.
Buhler examines the characteris-
tics of mental health, explains the
tests upon which tests are made ,
and in the numerous sample case
studies provides answers as they
are interpreted by the psychologist.
She states:
"Mental illness can be defined,
but to define mental health is
much more difficult. For a long
while it was thought that health
was simply the absence of sick-
ness. It was finally recognized that
mental health would have to be de-
fined by means of its own positive
signs."
Drawing upon the findings of
many noted psychologists and
sc ientists, D . Buhler quotes from
Marie Jahoda the following six
characteristics:
1. The mentally healthy person has an
a dequate attitude toward himself. He
sees himself realistically the way he is;
he can look at himself critically with-
out losing self-esteem.
2. He is interested In his adequate
internal development and self-realiza-
tion. He wants to bring out his best
potentialities.
3. He makes an effort to achieve
internal unity or integration of his
.strivings. He does not allow himself to
be worried by strivings that are irre-
concilable, but makes an attempt to
solve his inner conflicts.
4. He is autonomous; he makes his
own decisions and does not depend on
other people.
5. He has an adequate perception of
reality; he does not allow himself to
be influenced by wishes and fears in
his grasp of the external world.
. 6. He is capable of coping with the
circumstances of his life. This includes
the capacity to love, adequacy in love,
work and play, adequacy in interper-
sonal relationships, the ability to han-
dle the demands of given situations,
the ability to adapt, and competence in
solving problems.

But she also refers to a different
type of study in "Beyond the Melt-
ing Pot" by N. Glazer and D. P.
Moynihan, stating:
"In this fact-finding investiga-
tion, several ethnic groups — the
Negroes, Puerto Ricans, Jews, Ita-
lians and Irish of New York City
—are compared with respect to
such items as their jobs, education,
family life, politics, culture and
ideology. The idea was to test the
theory of America as the 'melting
pot' in which groups of different
national and racial origins, differ- I
ent cultures and ideologies sup-
posedly grow together into a unity.
The authors' conclusion is that,
contrary to this theory, the ethnic
groups remain distinctly separate
and that they represent 'new so-
cial forms' within the whole of
American society. While distinction
of religion and race primarily form
this pattern of American sub-
nationalities, the American nation-
ality as a whole is still fluid."
It is evident that the study by
Dr. Buhler is very thorough and
embraces all aspects of the study
of varying characteristics. Her
"Psychology of Contemporary Liv-
ing" is a notable work.
