8A THE TIMES HERALD PORT HURON, MICH. Tuesday, February 5, 1974 he mmokes wDmnronirag) lk isy Chris, now 22. Contest rules stated the By NANCY ANN WESTBROOK People Talk By Elizabeth Wilkins People Section writer What most of us like to call a Texas tall tale appears in the person of Helen Hadsell. Helen, former women's editor of the Irving News Texan, has won every contest she's ever entered! And if that's not enough, she claims anyone persons especially invited from several nations. Before attending this convention, Helen was greatly concerned that Russia was far superior to the United States in development of the physic sciences.

Since her return, she no longer feels that to be true. And to substantiate her claim, she points out that both U.C.L.A. and Stanford Universities have all the testing equipment the Russians boast about. Helen Hadsell readily admits that some of the things she firmly believes sound "pretty far out" to others. But some of the things that happen to her while on tour are equally as unusual.

For example, not long ago she lectured to a convention of perhaps 300 persons. Since Helen determines what major in the United States Air Force and left Shaw A.F.B. recently to serve three years in Germany. Major Buchanan enlisted in 1953 after graduating form Port Huron High School. His wife, Judy, and children, Sheryl and Michael will join him in Germany in about 6 weeks.

material she'll present mostly by the type of audience she finds before her, she found herself talking to this particular group about happiness. She told them happiness wasn't a tangible, material thing, and it couldn't be found by altering one's life drastically. At break time, a woman from the audience followed Helen into the commode of the ladies restroom and accused Mrs. Hadsell of reading her mind because she was planning to leave her husband. Before the evening ended, that incident had been repeated three times.

Did Helen Hadsarl read her mind? Helen thinks so. "But even if I didn't," she says, "something in my remarks sparked her conscience and she needed to blame someone for her quilt. That someone was me." While in Port Huron, Helen Hadsell's lecture topics include Let's Unmask Mysticism'; 'Healing: Mentally, Physically and Spiritually'; 'Color, the Key to Madness, Sadness and Gladness'; and finally, 'Blotology, the Study of Ink Spots'. Dennis Mac Donald (asst. principal, Chippewa School) tells us that he has received notification of his award of second place (and a nice $50 check to go with it) in a photography contest held by -Mart in conjunction with 3M.

Dennis took his honors in the special effects catagory of the contest in which there were thousands of entries. Chris T. Spencer, director for the Riverside Heritage Association, is looking for interior photographs of the old Chicago and Grand Truck Depot. The R.H.A. along with the Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers, are preparing to restore and renovate the old depot if approved for future use by AMTRAK for their passenger station.

So, someday soon when the snow is snowing and you don't really feel like going out, take a trip to the attic to see what you can find. If you find any photographs Chris would appreciate a call at 987-2279 Debbie Meissner Times Herald People winner must travel by air. And Helen had a great fear of flying. So she and Chris forfeited the trip. Chris chastised her for not using her contest methods to conquer her fear of, air travel.

She decided he was right, won another dude ranch contest, and flew off with her son to enjoy it. Once she had that fear behind her, she started using positive energy, as she terms it, on everything else bothersome in her life. With a previous history of colitis, headaches, and dental troubles, she was inclined to develop whatever ailment was currently popular. Keeping in mind that she was a winner elsewhere and had already conquered a major fear, she now started investigating any field that offered her something mentally constructive. Helen decided she was using too much of her positive energy in negative ways when her physical ailments became fewer and less troublesome if given less attention.

She joined encounter groups, took a mind control course, and entered self-analysis. She decided to brush up on pyschology but found it obsolete by comparison. Part of her new mental machinery was geared to developing telepathic communication with members of her family. She's been especially successful at establishing telepathy' with Chri-s. (Helen claims she can send Chris a mental message that he's able to receive verbatim.) Helen's husband, Pat, was inclined to think her new pursuits of knowledge were a waste of time until he saw that she was conquering her physical problems with them.

Pat, too, became an advocate of Helen's ways and thereafter encouraged her to pursue whatever mental research field she felt drawn to. Her studies have brought her into contact with many of the world's most respected scholars who investigate the wonders of the human mind. Helen Hadsell now lectures, at two Uexas colleges and tours nationally. She's written one book called 'The" Name It, Claim It Game' and she's currently writing a second, based on the experiences of others who have read her book and applied her methods. This past June she attended the world's first Psychotronic Congress in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

The international convention was limited to 302" else can do it, too! She in Port Huron this week to give a series of lectures about her techniques and philosophies. Helen, whose career as a 'winner' began about thirteen years ago, got her start when she read Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's book on the 'Power of Positive The book made a strong impression on her. She decided to test his theories by entering an outboard motor contest sponsored by Coca-Cola. A creative writing contest, it required that she finish a jingle in twenty-five words or less.

Using her imagination, she pictured her husband sitting in his boat, composed a reply about a lone wolf fisherman, and sent the entry off. This done, she further followed the book's advice and told no one she'd entered. Then she wondered how long it would take them to notify her she'd won. It took two weeks. Next she entered a contest to win a bicycle for her daughter.

Again success. Now Helen really began taking to take positive thinking seriously and she start investigating contests persistently. She discovered that nationally, there are usually 150 major contests running consecutively. She wrote for brochures which listed them, and, never deviating from her original formula, she proceeded to win three trips to Europe, vacations to Disneyland and the New York World's Fair, a $50,000 home and" every appliance she's ever wanted. Only once has her positive thinking method failed her.

That was after she'd won a dude ranch contest for her son COMING EVENTS CORRECTION St. Anne's Altar Society will meet on Thursday in St. Stephen's Parish Center at 8 p.m., rather than today as reported in Sunday's Coming Events calendar.

And I want you to know my husband is no drunk. He adually prefers coffee.

Cat was attending a wedding reception. I was unable to be there. He called me about 8:30 p.m. and said he'd be home later. "Later" was the next day.

I waited for him until 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m. I was going out of my mind when he called to say, "I'm in jail. I'm not drunk. Don't worry. Goodbye." Before he hung up I coaxed him into putting someone on the line who could give me more information.

Sure enough, he WAS in jail. I went down and paid the $100 bond but was unable to bring Carl home until the next morning. They refused to release him until he was legally sober. It took six hours. We were advised by our insurance company to get a lawyer.

The lawyer is going to charge us ONLY $500 because he has helped us with other matters. (Most lawyers charge from $600 to $1000.) Carl will be lucky if he gets off with a $300 fine. This state doesn't care whether you're a chronic drinker or not. If they catch you once they throw the book at you, even if it's your first offense. Rotten, isn't it? His Wife Dear Wife: Sorry, but I'm with the state that throws the book.

If your husband had killed somebody it wouldn't matter much to that somebody's family whether Carl was a steady boozer or a guy who prefers coffee.
