"SOUL SURGERY" FOR UNEMPLOYED PLAN
Soul surgery for unemployed men and women is to be conducted this winter in England's north- east districts. A leading psychologist will be in charge under the Stanley (Durham) Social Service Committee.
Mr. A. E. Vaughan, sub-warden of Bensham-grove Settlement, Gateshead-on-Tyne, believes that psychology can help the un- employed man and his wife to overcome difficulties.
Stanley unemployed, after a sum- mer series of lectures, have asked him to give a course of twenty-four more.
Mr. Vaughan is willing to open his "soul surgery" for pri- vate discussion with anyone who cares to consult him on any aspect of their family problems and other subjects.
"We don't talk about sublimation and complexes but deal with prac- tical problems," he says.
"In unemployed families differ- ences between couples in their marriage relationships sometimes become magnified.”.

Hours later the men reached the dog. They found her lying exhausted. Beside her was the fox-dead.
