EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. October 12, 1956 Women Declared To Be Suffering Unnecessariiy San Francisco U.R About half the nation's women are suf fering unnecessarily from a pre menstrual "witch" tension which in extreme cases makes them so moody and irritable that their families move out until it's over, a Los Angeles expert on wo men's diseases said today. Occurs Regularly Dr. Erie Henriksen said the condition occurs regularly each month shortly before the men strual period. Menstruation re lieves it. He described his findings in a paper delivered at the 42nd Clinical Congress of the Amer ican College of Surgeons. Dr. Henriksen, head of the gynecology department of the IJSC Medical School, said a num ber of drugs can relieve the tension. He said he favored neohydrin, which is obtainable on a doctor's prescription. Starts In Twenties He said the tension usually starts in the late 20s. Women who suffer most from it usually .. are "perfectionists'" the driving career women with a compulsion to success. He labeled extreme cases "Witch-AAA" on an irritability scale which starts at "Witch-1." The condition is caused by the body retaining too much water, he said, and the tissues distend. Dr. Henricksen said many doctors don't recognize the con dition. They often dismiss the complaining patients as "neur otic" and tell them to go home and forget about it.

Changing Role of Man in the Home Conference of newspaper foods editors in New York revealed that women's work in the world today is changing considerably the role of the man in the home. This changing status was docu mented, by Lendal H. Kotsch evar, Ph.D., Chairman, Home Economics Department and Dir ector of Food Services at Mont ana State University at Missoula, Daily's U-Drive MerJford Airport at a luncheon sponsored by the Borden Company. Formerly men concerned themselves largely with the af fairs of the outside world and women were content with their sphere of influence in the home. Today women participate freely in many social, political and community activities, with one third of our married women working outside the home. Work ing wives now outnumber bach elor girls on the job two to one. As women are moving out of homemaking activities men have been moving into them with in creasing recognition of the fact that home is not a woman's world but made up of a group of individuals called a family, and each member os of necessity taking on new responsibilities. Specifically, a recent survey revealed that men alone or men with their wives exceeded in number the wives who shopped alone in the supermarket. It was also noted that this single man shopper or the man and wife shopping as a team frequently did not carry a shopping list. This means that men are decid ing what to buy on their own or make the decision jointly with the wife. Men are doing more and more of the food preparation in the home, seem to have a natural interset in cooking; are interest ed increasingly in learning about cooking and "home work," ac cording to Dr. Kotschevar, who further stated that and increas ing number of men are taking foods courses at the college and university level. Simplicity of preparation and the time element shortened by prepared foods in infinite variety are important keys to getting men into the kitchen. Manufact urers, well aware of this trend, are increasingly slanting their appeal to the man and his chang ing role in the family unit as shopper, cook and "homemaker." Sardinians Said Outgrowing Suspicion of All Strangers Cagliari U.R) Sardinia is rapidly emerging from its age long sleep. ' Tourists have discovered the natural beauties of this island, and the Sardinians, once su spicious of every strc lger land ing on their land, are quickly getting accustomed to a new way of life. Some years ago no tourist would have dared to land at Olibia, the port on the eastern coast, where the boat from Civ itavecchia, on the mainland, docks after an overnight cross ing. Malaria was all around and only Sardinians or salesmen would land at Olibia. Then the Americans arrived on this island and with tons of DDT defeated the malaria curse. Antonio Segni, premier of the Gibson Returned To Stale Penitentiary Coos Bay (U.R) Ernest L. Gibson, under life sentence in the Oregon penitentiary when he fled the Linn county jail at Al bany last month, Thursday was taken to Salem by Sheriff Carl Strawn to start serving two addi tional consecutive five-year sen tences, v The sentences against the con victed robber of the Linn coun ty treasurer's office stemmed from two counts of auto theft lodged against the convict after his bid for freedom. He was re captured near here last week after an extensive manhunt. Gib son pleaded guilty to. both charges. Gibson also faces possible kid nap charges in Lane county for the alleged abduction of a Bend taxi driver during his abortive attempt for freedom. present Italian government, a Sardinian himself, whenever he is free from the burdens of his job, takes a plane to go to his hometown of Sassari and the nearby seashore to enjoy a quiet week end. Interior Changing Despite the example set by their premier, the Italians are not yet attracted by the natural beauties of this island. It is the foreign tourists who discovered and appreciated them. The French have set up camp ing on the island of Caprera, off the northern Sardinian coast. But the real "aficionados" of Sardinia, are the British. Two years ago they became partic ularly interested in the zone around Alghero, a 15,000-inhabit-ant town in the province of Sas sari, in the northwestern zone of the island. Their interest was such that today a plane service is linking Alghero directly with London, and every fortnight groups of palid English stenographers leave London to enjoy the sunny wonders of the Alghero coast. It is not only the coast that is opening up to vicitors. Also the mountains, once lonesome and mysterious, are . changing. There are not yet first-class resorts, but small rustic hotels are being built on the Liinbara and Gennargentu ridges. More Hotels Hotel accommodations are stil scarce, but while five years ago there were 37 hotels throughout the island, today there are twice as many. In addition, the fam ilies of the fishermen rent their houses at reasonable prices. Sardinians, once as hard as their mountains to deal with, are getting loquaciousand pleased to have come in touch with the outside world. Of course, Sardinia is not a land for sophisticated vacations. The most modern way of spend ing the time is deep sea fishing along a coast which is a real paradise for fishermen. Sardinia's women wearing their traditional colorful dresses. to manufacture their elaborated laces, but they work to the rhy thum of music on the radio. There is no doubt that tourism will improve the still backward social conditions of the inhabit- may still use obsolete systems 1 ants of the interior zones, FAMILY FARES MAKE TRAVEL A FAMILY AFFAIR...
