As We Live
YOU CAN WORK OUT FROM
UNDER A POOR NICKNAME
As a nation, we nave a great
er variety of names of different
national origins than almost any
nation in the
world. This is
to be 'expected
because we
have' such
wide variety
of - national
groups repre
sented among
our people.
People with
unusual names,
however, usu-
Dr. Hnrloek
ally feel self-conscious and em
barrassed about their names,
; This holds true for family
names as well as for their own
i given names. This embarrass
ment may even reach the point
where the person develops an
inferiority complex.
If you are a victim of such
experiences, you are foolish.
Why not regard your name as
a mark of distinction, something
to be proud of .instead of
ashamed of? If you feel that way
about it, others will, too.
Of course an unusual name
often gives rise to trouble in
pronunciation and spelling.
Don't let that concern you, ei
ther. After all, what difference
does it make if other people
mispronounce your name or mis
spell it? You can easily set them
straight.
Change Your Name
When you have a given name
that disturbs you because , you
feel that it is inappropriate, un-
dignified, or even infantile, use
the other name your parents
have given you or change your
name. Your parents may be hurt
at first but they will see your
point of view if you explain it
to them.
A nickname is something you
can always control. Most chil
dren acquire a nickname as soon
as they enter school. And this
childhood nickname usually
clings to them for the rest of
their lives unless they do some
thing to put a stop to it.
Can Control Nickname
Once again, that is something
you can control if you take the
matter in hand before the name
becomes too firmly attached to
you. When people call you a
nickname you don't like, never
By aiZAMTH HUILOCK, PtilX
let them know how you feel If
you do, that is sure way to
make them cling to it. -
Instead, say, "Most ot my
friends call me 'so-and-so'.1 Once
you can get the nickname of
your choice started, it won't
take long before it will replace
the one you dislike. Parents of
young children are smart " to
give their child a nickname he
won't object to and use it so
widely that there will be little
chance for another nickname to
get started.
LETTERS FROM READERS
Troublemaker: "It seems te

this be corrected to avoid dis
rupting family harmony
(A) Unfortunately, you are cor
rect in saying that every family
has a troublemaker. It may not
be in the immediate family, but
there is sure to be one among
the relatives. A troublemaker is
a person who is trying to get
even or to compensate for what
he believes to be neglect or
mistreatment on the part of oth
er members of the family. The
only way you can put a stop to
troublemaking is to be kind
and considerate to that person.
When he feels that he is accept
ed and belongs, he will stop
trying to make trouble.
Control of Money: "Why do
so many husbands feel that they
should keep the family money

(A) You are correct in say
ing that women, as a whole, are
just as frugal as men. There are,
however, exceptions to the rule
among both men and women.
Unfortunately, women have ac
quired the reputation of having
"no money sense" or of thinking
that "money grows on trees.'
As a result, many husbands are
afraid to turn over the house
hold money to their wives.
Even women who have "no
money sense" quickly acquire
it when they discover that money
to pay the butcher does not
grow on trees."

age boys and girls rarely play
games together as they did

dren?" C. R.

MANY DOCTORS ARE DUMB ABOUT NEEDLE SURGERY
physicians are too backward,
bigoted or inept to acquire the
necessary knowledge and skill
for the injection treatment
Apropos of this shortcoming
is me advice in the third edition
of Watson's Hernia (published in
'48 by Mosby) one of the fin
est if not the finest textbook on
the subject that the physician
contemplating the use of the in
jection method should first dis
cuss it with other doctors in his
community to familiarize them
with it, so that if complications
of any kind should develop he
would not be charged with exp
erimentation. This also applies
to new operations for hernia,
the author adds.
I was going to pound out a
sarcastic crack about that, but
on winking it over I conclude
that it is good advice, as sound
as everything else in Dr. Wat
son's book especially the chap
ters on injection treatment He
knows doctors.
It is my hope that for the
benefit of hernia sufferers ev
erywhere my harping on the
injection treatment may stimu
late or encourage many physi
cians to study the subject and
find out for themselves just
what this department of "needle
surgery" offers for the satisfac
tion of their patients. A reason
able degree of conservatism in
respect to new principles, reme
dies or methods is wise and com
mendable, but under the mis
leadership of the AMA physi
cians in general are misinform-
In 193S the comic weekly of
tne American Medical associa
tion said in answer to a query
from an Ark
ansas p h y s i-
cian about the
ambulant (in
jection treat
ment of hernia
-(rupture,
breach):
"While there
would appear
to be no place
at aU for the
injection treat
ment it is possible . . . isolated
instances in which an attempt
of this sort might be justified."
In 1940 in a report by the
Council on Pharmacy and Chem
istry . published in the official
journal of the AMA the injec
tion treatment fared better:
"The Council now concurs in
the opinion that the injection
method involves less danger ot
serious complications than sur
gery . i
Obviously, the "serious com
plications" and "dangers" which
the ever-ready operators so free
ly ascribed to the newfangled
method in those days were as
hypothetical as those conjured
up for the Arkansas physician
whose naive query drew the out
burst quoted above. In fact
report by Drs. Harris and White,
published in the comic weekly
in '38, stated categorically that
no serious complications or
deaths occurred" in the injection
treamtent ot 230 patients.
Despite these uncontrovertible
facts many thousands of persons
who might be cured of hernia go
un cured because they are not
"good risks" for operation or be
cause they do not choose to un
dergo operation, because their
and there is even less when the
boy beats the girl in the game
they are playing. Beating the
girls is inevitable when the two
sexes compete because boys de
velop stronger muscles than girls
and they, therefore, have great
er strength. When a girl beats a
boy, the boy feels humiliated,
and that likewise kills romance.
To avoid such embarrassing ex
periences, boys and girls keep
their sports separate.

Fuiorotfe Action

Of Water District
C W. Corcoran, president of
the committee which has been
organizing support tor a pro
posed new water district west of
the Medford city limits, yester
day urged residents of the area
to cast their ballots in favor of
the district
A special election on the for
mation of the district will be
held on April IS.
Most of those in the area are
anxious for "city water." Cor
coran said, and this will be
their first chance to take advan
tage of the enlarged supplies of
water provided by the recently
completed Big Butte springs
pipeline.
Water Unfit
Corcoran pointed out that the
area has many shallow wells,
septic tanks, a high surface wa
ter table and close concentration
of buildings. As a result much
of the well water is unfit for
human consumption, he said.
Directors for the proposed dis
trict will be elected at the same
time.
The area involved is north
west of the city and is bound
ed roughly by Sage road on the
east and north, a line parallel
to and west of Ross lane on the
west and the Jackson Highway
Water district and the city lim
its on the south.
By Late Summer
If the vote is favorable and
the district is formed, it is
hoped that city water will be
come available to users in the
area by late summer. A bond
issue to cover costs of installing
a pipeline has been tentatively
planned, to be repaid from wa
ter fees over an extended period
of years, Corcoran said.
