When Jed "calls- me-collect they-refuse to accept the call, even though I am sitting right there.

They just say, "Marianne isn't at home." I don't mind vlfcv DrTJoyce 4 Brothers Quiz on Almost everyone is affected by crime and most people are deeply concerned about the increase oLviolence and crime in our neighborhoods. How much do you know about the psychology of crime? Ilere's an opportunity to check your views with those of some ex- perts. 1. There's really no such thing as a. criminal personality.

True False 2. Men who commit murder frequently share certain traits or problems that were evident in early child-, hood. True False 3. There's no such thing as a motiveless crime. True False 4.

It's impossible for a so-called normal person to become psychologically habituated to violence. True False 5. Justice in most courtrooms is more apt to fit not the crime but the Judge's view of the offender. True False 6. Preschool children are capable of murder.

True False 7. Men who are preoccupied with their or would rate a high score on machismo, are more apt to be violent and commit violent crimes than men who take their masculinity for granted. True False 8. No one knows why people confess to crimes they didn't commit. True False Answers 1.

FALSE. Psychiatrist Dr. Samuel Yo-chelson and psychologist Stanton Samenow feel that criminals and non-criminals do differ In personality. There are other experts, how-ever, who disagree with their conclusions that criminals possess at least 52 "errors of thinking" that set them apart. 2.

TRUE. Dr. Nathan Blackman, professor of cllnincal psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine In St. Louis, found that in 75 per cent of the cases, there Is a trait which is predictive bedwettlng, fire-setting and cruelty to animals. 3.

TRUE. Psychiatrists and criminologist, Dr. David Abra-hamscn, feels there Is no such thing as a motiveless crime. Every crime has a motive although often It Is disguised. A person may paying for his calls and as long as it's my money I don't think they have the right to do this.

The Sound Of His Voice Dear Voice: In principle, you have a point. It's your money and if you want to spend it on collect calls from Jed, you should be able to do it. Practically, however, your mother is right. A fellow who could call his girl collect, except in case of emergency. crime attack or kill a stranger for no apparent reason, but the victim may have reminded the killer of a lover or his mother and in his mind, the killer may substitute the innocent victim.

4. FALSE. A Los Angeles psychiatrist, Isidore Ziferstein, points out that the Arab guerrillas, like so many muggers and murderers in America, have become psychological- -ly habituated to violence. Studies indicate, for instance, that the greater the level of exposure to TV violence, the more a child Is willing to use violence as a solution to conflict and to perceive it as effective. 5.

TRUE. Judges throughout the-United States have leeway to give stiff or light sentences. Unfortunately, studies show that judges often fall back on their, instincts, experience or What happens is that the poor get longer sentences than the rich, non-whites longer than whites, and the street thieves get longer sentences' than the whiter collar thieves who may steal thousands more. 6. TRUE.

Pathologist Lester Adelson of Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University found that there's such a thing as the "battering child." Few adults' are aware that preschool youngsters are capable of murder. The motive in these young killers Is almost always jealousy. of the young killers he studied wanted to get rid of a younger rival. 7. TRUE.

Such men have an exaggerated sense of pride and are easily offended. It is this ego that gets them Into serious trouble. Dr. Andrew Ruotolo studied a number of murders and found that In almost every case the slayings were generated by damage to the neurotic killer's pride system. 8.

FALSE. Every time there Is a major crime, there are false confessions, we know why neurotic people feel compelled to confess to something they didn't do. Guilt feelings, psychoses, and pranks are behind most false confessions. Some false confessors act out of desperation to draw attention to themselves In some way. They are lonely, isolated, depressed, people who are screaming for attention.

Biggest bridge event The biggest event of the bridge year In Ottawa will be the upcoming Spring Sectional at the end of February. This event Is traditionally the largest Sectional of the year, and with the Regional tournament transferred to Quebec City for 1979, It will also be the biggest tournament. Two events In particular will be of interest to the newer players. The Non-Masters Pairs on Thursday evening is limited to players with less than 100 recorded Master Points, and the Consolation event on Saturday evening' provides a playing opportunity for those not Interested in competing against the top players in the 11-day Open Pairs event. Anyone interested in bridge is welcome to come and watch.

Most of the top players in Eastern Ontario will be competing, as well as a priori snrinkllnif nf tlarc 'from Montreal. All events will be held at' It is better to avoid Many of you noticed that no solution was included with last week's problem. We have repeated the diagram this week. The problem is White to play and mate In two moves. Here Is the solution: l.KfS.

In my comments on the problem, I asked if any reader could find the purpose of the pawns on c2 and b2. They don't prevent any solutions, but they do have a deeper purpose that I overlooked. Fortunately, Canada's foremost problem composer, Archie Howard, did not overlook it and was kind enough to inform me. In my description of a chess problem, I stated "there must be only one solution, and, generally, only one line of play against each Black response." An alternate line of play against a Black response is called a dual. While it is nice to avoid duals entirely, It is not considered a major fault if White has more than one way to mate against moves that don't meet White's threat.

However, in the diagram, Mansfield has managed to entirely avoid duals. After 1. KfS, there is exactly one mate against each response. If there were no pawn on c2, black could play 1 (of 1 allowing White seven mates: 2. Qf7; 2.NC5; 2.Nc7; 2.Nd8; 2.Nf4; 2.Nfg5.

White would likewise have 7 mates If the b2 pawn were missing and Black moved 1 or 1 Check for yourself that there are no duals In the diagram position. It had simply not occurred to me that this could be a. position Flashback the Bytown Bridge Club, 17S Richmond road, except for the Thursday evening events, when the facilities of the R. A.

Mansfield is a Grandmaster of chess composition. The problem was originally published in 1936 in "Tijdschrift van den By Bob Bowman It was on February 17, 1759, that James Wolfe sailed from England to lead the expedition that would capture Quebec in September. He and Admiral Charles Saunders stood on the bridge of the flagship Neptune and watched the shores of Britain fade into the mist. Wolfe was proud that he had been given command of the expedition but he was also sad. He had Just become engaged to Katherine Lowther at Bath, and he also suspected that he would not return alive.

Wolfe had distinguished himself as a brigadier In 1758 when he led the attack on the powerful French fortress at Louisberg, Cape Breton. He wanted to go light on and attack Quebec, but General Amherst, his commanding officer felt that It was too late in the year. Instead he ordered chess VCharlfi.q Goren bridge Q.I Neither vulnerable), aa South you hold: AQ1M OM OJ87S The bidding haa proceeded: North East South lv tv What actio do you Uke?

Eunice Gardiner Be Heard Are there courses ai Kemptvllle where one can train to be a veterinarian? There is no veterinary course at the Kemptvllle Agricultural College, but there- is one at the University of Guelph. Where does, the expression dogs" come from? This expression goes back many hundreds of year's to the Dark Ages, when people believed in and witchesJThey evenlj thought that animals, like cats and dogs, had -magical powers. The cat was especially thought by sailors to have a lot to do with storms, and the witches were believed to ride In the storms and were often pictured as black cats. Dogs and wolves were symbols of winds and the Norse storm god Odin was often pictured sur- rounded by dogs and wolves. So when a particularly violent rainstorm came along, people would say that it was raining cats and dogs, with the cats symbolizing the rain and the dogs representing the wind and storm.
