MEDIA The holiday season
often brings an unexpected, un
welcome visitor—depression.
Suicide attempts and depression
sparked breakdowns peak during
December and January, and
hundreds of persons suffer milder
forms of depression.
Holiday depression doesn’t
discriminate. It can hit anyone,
says extension home economist
Greta C. Vairo. It may plague the
mother who wants to create a
spectacular holiday for her family,
whether they want it or not.
It affects the parents who cannot

Secretary of

has announced for
mation of a task force to

Department of
Agriculture’s study and
testimony for the U.S.
International Trade
Commission’s in

The task force, which
includes tobacco ex

WASHINGTON, D.C.
A campaign to in
crease the export of U.S.
livestock has been
launched by the U.S.
Department of
Agriculture and the
Livestock Exporters
Association
Bloomington 111.
The venture calls for
resolving differences in
health
animal
regulations between the
United States and
countries where U.S.
livestock and embryos
are now excluded, said
Richard A. Smith,
administrator of the
USDA’s Foreign
Agricultural Service.
Such health
agreements would
remove unintended
barriers to the im
portation of U.S.
animals and could in
crease significantly
American livestock
exports, Smith said.
The livestock Ex
porters Association and
the Foreign
Agricultural Service
will work to convince
foreign officials and
scientists of the

The investigation, to
determine whether
imports are interfering
with the price support
and production ad
justment programs for
tobacco administered
by USDA, was ordered
by President Reagan
following advice from
Secretary Block. The
President’s directive
was issued pursuant to
Section 22 of the
Agricultural Ad- |
justment Act of 1933.
The International
Trade Commission is
expected to complete its
investigation and report
its findings and
recommendations to the
President early next
year.
adequacy of U.S. health
testing measures. When
necessary, the export
group will bring foreign
veterinarians to the
United States to work
directly with their
USDA counterparts. As
a last resort, new health
tests could be developed
to satisfy foreign
buyers.
“Arriving at
marketable solution is
the key,” said Smith.
“U.S. livestock are
probably the world’s
healthiest, yet several
of the diseases we have
here do not appear in
some countries. We
must assure buyers that
the animals we export
are indeed healthy. And
we must do it without
adding significantly to
the costs of American
exporters.”
In fiscal year 1984,
U.S. exports of cattle,
swine and breeding
horses are likely to total
$6B million.

the young couple caught between
demanding in-laws. Those millions
with no place to go are particularly
vulnerable to the holiday blues.
The romantic image of the
hollidays as a loving, joyous,
family-oriented time contributes to
holiday depression. Everyday
problems and irritations are
somehow supposed to disappear
and usually do. Many people are
convinced that everyone else is
happy and they alone are
depressed. An important key to

avoiding holiday depression, is
simply knowing that it is common
and shared by many others.
Keeping expectations at a
reasonable level and limiting the
time and energy invested in
holidays may also help some
people. Others will find their best
tactic is to get involved.
Depression can be regarded as a
state of feeling sorry for yourself.
It is best overcome by dealing with
causes of the self-pity.
