Not Sentimental Speaker Raps 'Destructive' Help Definitions and examples of "destructive" and "constructive" help rendered needy persons were offered Cross members by the guest speaker at an annual meeting Monday night of the Allegany County Chapter. Dr. George Gardner of the Alfred University, sociology faculty offered of experiences encountered by him and ily during relief opcrations during tragic and often dangerous periods in Greece, Egypt and Trieste.

before, during and after World War II. Dr. Gardner said that relicf is conducted on a person-to-person basis, regardless of the size of the relief opcration at hand. He spoke of "destructive" help aid which damages the self-respect, self-reliance and usefulness of recipients as including "sentimental," "compulsive" and "manipulative" assistance. Helpfulness marred by these approaches can destructive in big programs and also in simple cases of direct assitance.

The speaker spoke of the sentimental approach as typified by the "frightful" phrase, "poor dears." Also, he said, sometimes it carries the wish that the recipient shouldn't through what I went through." Either way, he said, it can break the spirit and will of the person being helpcd. Equally destructive, Dr. Gardner continued was the "compulsive" helper, who must aid others to maintain his own self-esteem. "I must help you, whether or not it's good for you," he offered as an example of the compulsive approach. "Manipulative" aid, Dr.

Gardner' Dr. Willard Uphaus, Fellowship Director, To Speak at Alfred ALFRED Dr. Willard Uphaus, executive director of World Fellowship Center in Connecticut, speak on "Conscience and State" in Howell Hall at Alfred University on Sunday, Feb. 10, at 2:30 pm. Dr.

Uphaus will address a joint meeting of the International Club, the Hillel Club, and the Friends The program is also open to the public.

He has been a delegate to international conforences on religion, labor, peace, and education. Ho is the author of several books.

The World Fellowship which Dr. Uphaus directs is an said, could be likened to the negic approach. It involves "en- lightened self-interest," he said, a phrase which can be properly applied to political and economic! considerations, but not to relief or welfare assistance. "Constructive helpfulness," Dr. Gardner said, "can be an expertence that enlarges and encourages the recipient, that releases him from a situation and can help him I I I Stressing his person-to-person concept, illustrated with numerous anecdotes of relationships achicved with people of Egypt and Greece, Dr.

Gardner offered five requisites of constructive help. They were: Committment of self, involving acceptance of responsibil-! ity despite personal risks and costs. The giver is related to the recipient by the risks he takes in fulfilling his responsibilities to him, Appreciation of the recipient. Persons in need should be seen and understood as human beings with values and self respect which should be learned and appreciatcd in the person-to-person relationship. Willingness to listen.

"Usually we talk too much," Dr. Gardper said, and because of that we fail to listen intently in the necessary effort to capture the spirit and full meaning. of what is being said. Trustfulness is required, even if adopted at a risk, Dr. Gardner stated.

He told of an experience when he and his family (his wife and their two daughters) were lost and immobilized by a jeep breakdown in an area occupied by persons whom their countrymen reinter-faith discussion and social action movement organized in 1941. The Organization is located in Connecticut and has a summer headquarters in Conway, New Hampshire. Dr. Uphaus was the center of a celebrated civil liberties controhersy in Now Hampshire in the late 1950's. During 0 state inquiry, he answered all questions about himself but refused to turn over tc the New Hampshire At1orney General's office the mombership lists of the World Fellowship Center.

His case was taken to Supreme Court. The stand taken by Dr. Uphaus is related to the current discussion in the nation concerning work of the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. SUPERINTENDENT DIES ROCHESTER, (AP)-Harry J. Dunham, superintendent of Newport Hospital in Newport, R.

Always they received help when they needed it, he said, as they around the world resting on the help people around uS." The help must be given in context with the other person his personality and position, his beliefs and the traditions of his country. The aspect of "context" always must involve an approach which will not lessen his honor or position, which is harmonious with "his circle of customs." Every effort should be made to give help which can make the recipient selfsustaining thereafter, rather than more dependent. In his introduction of Dr. ner, Mr. Mergler said the AU faculty member was educated at Princeton University and the University of Edinboro before, in 1936, he began a five-year assignment in relief work in Greece, which he left in 1941 just ahead of the incoming Germany army.

He joined the relief organization of the United Nations in 1944, and returned to Greece to be in charge of relief in the -threatened central portion of that country.
