Earlier this month a total of S2.051.90 was raised by the local Red Cross "Tag Day" drive for Hungarian relief. The total was S413 90 more than the quota of fl.633, according to Eugene Thorndike, chairman of the 13 cal Red Cross chapter. Exceed Quota The Medford chapter was one of two in the state which exceed ed its quota. Nationwide the Red Cross is raising S5.000.000 for food, medicine and clothing for refugees from Hungary. Other local efforts for relief of Hungarian refugees included collections of money and cloth ing in Medford churches. The Hungarian Jailed i For Own Protection Toronto OJ.R) Jail bars today protected a Hungarian ac cused by other refugees of be ing an agent of the dreaded Hun garian secret police. Authorities jailed Giory Bor os overnight after rescuing him from refugees who tried to kill him Wednesday. Royal Canad ian Mounted Police were check ing Boros' story that he fled from Hungary on Nov. 9. Boros was attacked in an On tario government reception cen ter by a crowd who carried ropes and sought to hang him on the ground he was a "planted infor mer." - "I have never seen such a mob." Police Inspector William Brownlee told reporters. "They were vicious and wanted his blood."

December 20, 193B Seventh Day Adventist church in Medford contributed several cartons of clothing in the local UN drive. St. Peter's Lutheran church Medford collected about S200 from church members and Sun day school classes for Hungari an relief. The money was dis bursed through the board of world relief of the Lutheran church. Detroit, according to the Rev. Kenneth Korby, pastor of the church. Most of the money will be used for food and medi cine, he said. The five local chapters of Beta Sigma Phi social sorority shipped about 500 pounds of clothing to the American Friends committee, New York, about a week ago. The chapters con tinued to accept donations and directed them to the local UN chapter. Fund contributions and cloth ing are being received by two west coast offices of the AFSC. Donations of clothing and bed ding are being accepted by the AFSC warehouse at 1830 Sutter St., San Francisco 15, Calif. Small articles of clothing and funds can be mailed to 1108 S.E. Grand ave., Portland. Alter Disiribuiion The AFSC is asking for dona tions not designated for a par ticular country, so the commit tee can alter its distribution pat torn to fulfill quotas in France, Japan, Korea, Italy and Ger many as well as Austria. The Quaker committee has re cently expanded its cash goal for Hungarian aid to S250.000. To reach the goal the committee is asking more support from local areas. Future work of the AFSC will be primarily with a group of about 30.000 refugees of "spe cial category" needs in small camps, cities and villages in Austria. Also receiving fund contribu tions for refugees is the Oregon Committee for Hungarian refu gees, room 205, YMCA building Portland, Ore. YOUR GROCERS... The Medical Roundup lift, vj Persons In Search Of A Diagnosis I just saw a patient, typical of many we doctors are constantly seeing. She apparently was born to be a con stant worrier about her un comfort able abdominal or gans. She says that for years she has spent all the money she could get, going from ui AKarez one doctor to another, getting one thorough examination after another. Some doctors told her frankly that they found nothing wrong with her, others put her off with diagnoses which do not mean much like colitis, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, a dropped stomach or a dropped kidney. She might possibly have been helped and reassured and cheered up if every doctor who had seen her had spent time try ing to get her to see that she was born to be a terribly worri some person, perhaps like her mother and her grandmother. The doctors might have told her that her bowel will probably al ways be a bit uncomfortable, especially when she is under emotional strain. They might have told her that her troubles will never turn into anything. They might have told her that she would be better off if she were to keep away from doctors. Had To Say Something Unfortunately, some of the physicians who saw her appar ently felt they had to tell her something, or else she would think they were not competent, or had not examined her care fully enough, or had missed something, and so several of them showed her in her x-ray films what they called a spasm of the colon (large bowel). They called it a spastic colon, or mucous colitis, and this caused her to worry greatly about can cer. Today more and more phy sicians are refusing to make diagnoses of this type. Instead, they say that every nervous woman has a spastic or con tracted colon, so why bother to mention it. At the Mayo Clinic the x-ray men never mention a spastic colon; they never diag nose mucous colitis, and they never mention a low-lying stom ach or bowel or kidney. The sur geons at the Mayo Clinic prac tically never stitch up low-lying kidneys; in their experience this operation rarely does any good. Good kindly doctors tell a woman who fears she has a spastic colitis that if a surgeon were to open her abdomen and look at her colon he would find it perfectly normal. All that is wrong with her is that her nerves are playing tricks with the colon, and sometimes throw ing it into spasm. This can cause pain and the passage of gas with a little water and mucus. Such spells come when a nervous young woman goes out with a beau. Obviously, in such cases, treatment should not be with diet or medicine, but with seda tive drugs. The woman has to learn to live with such a bowel because she is likely to have it all her days. No Particular Tendency The woman should know that there are a million other women in this country suffering from an uncomfortable bowel. They have no particular tendency to cancer or anything else, and they haven't a true ulcerative colitis. Fortunately, that is a rare disease. What distresses me today is that so many unhappy and very nervous persons with a typically nervous group of symptoms such as any physician worth his salt can recognize in a moment just from the history keep going from one clinic to another, getting each time a big expen sive overhauling. People in America are coming to worship such an overhauling; they have the idea that if they can get one thorough enough they will find a cure lor their illness. What is sad is that so often the person who travels about in this way, wasting all of his savings, has a disease like a stroke, a Parkin son's syndrome with a poker face and a shaking hand, or a rheumatoid arthritis with badly deformed hands, or an ordinary epilepsy, or a hysterical trouble Ike Pushes Button To Light Yule Tree Washington 0J.R) Presi dent Eisenhower today lights the national Christmas tree. The President planned to push a button at 5:24 p.m. (EST) light ing the 67-foot spruce set up in the ellipse south of the White House." Before pressing the button, he planned to deliver his annual Christmas message. The ceremonies scheduled to be televised and broadcast nationally open the third an nual Christmas pageant of peace in the nation's capital. . Emeritus Consultant In Medicine, Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation the nature of which is obvious to any good physician at a glance. The wise patient should ac cept the doctor's diagnosis and not think him an old fogey be cause he does not order $300 worth of laboratory tests and x-ray studies. If I were a patient I would cling to such a physi cian, knowing that he was wise and kindly and idealistic. Vaginal Discharge Mothers who find that their little girl has a vaginal discharge perhaps with some reddening of the mucous membranes of the vulva should take the child promptly to a physician who will examine the discharge under a microscope and perhaps have a culture made. In many instances all that is needed is to place a stilbesterol suppository in the vagina every night for a while. Stilbesterol is an artificial ovarian hormone which enables the vaginal mucous membrane to get rid of some hurtful bac teria that are present. Always the physician vill do well to look into the vagina with a small electrically lighted tube to make sure that the child has not pushed in a hairpin, a piece of wood, a peanut, or some other foreign body which is keeping up the discharge. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer requests for information or to attempt to diagnose by mail.
