Mayo Foundation Contact Lenses Many ask if contact lenses are safe. Dp they irritate the eyes? Is there any great objec tion to their use? Contact lenses are be ing used with satisfaction by thousa n d s of persons. Natu rally, the new lenses are used by actors and act resses, by some athletes, Dr Alvarez and by many women who, at a dance, do cot want to wear thick and unpleasant - looking lenses. Some people can adjust to the use of the contact lenses more easily than others do, and can wear them for a longer in terval. Naturally, the little lenses cost more than ordinary glasses, and they have to be spe cially fitted by an expert. The person who wears them must learn to put tehm on 'and take them off. He must learn, also, not to drop them on the floor! Recently, contact lenses have been designed with little open ings on the edges so that the tears can circulate under the lens. This sounds like a very good idea. A Person Who Cannot Wear Denlures I recently saw a middle-aged woman who has recently lost 60 pounds in weight, and in whom no signs of disease can be found. A few months ago she was perfectly well except for much over-weight, and then all of her remaining teeth were ex tracted and replaced by den tures. Being over - sensitive in her mouth, and with a tendency to gag easily, she found it very hard to get accustomed to the dentures, and much of the time she carries them in her purse. I have known many an ema ciated woman of this type who pulled out of her bag for me to see four expensive sets of den tures which she had had made one after the other with the hope of getting one that wouldn't bother her. Finally, she had come to see that the fault was not with the dentures; it was with her over sensitive mouth. She may tell me that she never could brush her back teeth without gagging, and she has never been able to stand bifocal glasses, even for one day. Perhaps, also, she can not stand air-conditioned rooms, or a trace of chlorine in the city water. After having seen hundreds of such women, I have learned to recognize the type be fore their teeth are removed, and then I beg them to get by as long as they can with what teeth they have left. Women of this type are often "salt of the earth" but, because of their great sensitiveness, many stimuli even a bright light can cause 'them to suffer. In the morning, on waking, they have to adjust their eyes slowly; first, to electric light and later to daylight. In a restaurant the woman cannot sit at one table j because there is too much' clat tering of dishes, at another table because it is too near the orches tra. She cannot sit at another table because there she gets distress ing odors from the kitchen; at another table because there she hears much loud talk from noisy people near by, and at another table because there she feels a draft. The woman's hus band may not be bothered by any of these things but they "drive her 'nearly crazy." Perhaps when a storm is com ing 100 miles away her rheuma tism flares up, or she gets a headache or a stomach ache, or her nerves get on edge. One tab let of aspirin may make her ill, with her skin broken out. A tablet of morphine may make her feel like climbing the walls like a crazed cat. She may be so conscious of her over-sensitive bowel that every so often she will have to stop what she is doing and take an enema. When such a woman's den tures hurt her, someone may blame it on allergy, but the dentist can pretty well rule this out by showing that any one of several materials left in the lining of her mouth will quickly cause distress. Also, if the trouble were allergic in na ture, the woman could probably ! wear her dentures for a day or jtwo before the gums would get sore, unroriunateiy, i Know oi no way to desensitize these peo ple; usually they have to suffer Interest in Mt. Shasta Viewability Increases Mount Shasta, Calif. (HI The discussion over the "viewability" of Mt. Shasta warmed up this week as historians dug up old records. George Schrader, secretary of the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl and former president of the Siski you County Historical society, told of a survey made by helio graph in 1875. Schrader said reflections from the instrument, carried to the top of the 14,162 foot peak by a Coast and Geodetic Survey crew, were picked up on St. Helena to some extent all their days. Many Questions I Cannot Answer I regret that I cannot answer many of the letters that come to me. I wish I could help you good people, but first, there aren't enough hours in the day to read all the letters, There might be if they were snort, but some are 20 or 30 or 40 pages long! Nat urally, I cannot delegate the answering of these letters to secretaries. Often, to write a good answer to a long letter would take more wisdom and knowledge than I have. Often a question is practically unanswer able, like, "What can I do for asthma, or catarrh?" There are probably 50 caBses for asthma, and I am not sure what a per son means by catarrh. Another person writes, "What can I do for my eczema?" Again, there may be 50 causes for eczema. Many people write, saying they have been to several large uni versity centers where, after care ful study, no diagnosis could be made. Now they want . me to make it! Obviously, I must not try. A secretary harfded me a let ter from . someone who says, "Tell me all the"possible causes for my having had a poor result after my hysterectomy! It would take me several hours to write an article that would cover this subject adequately. My days are already terribly full, from 7 in the morning to 10 at night, seven days a week, and so I cannot promise to answer long letters, and especially those writ ten in barely legible handwrit ing, and full of questions very difficult to answer. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer re quests for information or to attempt to diagnose by mail. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1957 192 airline miles to the south west. The feat was acclaimed at that time as the "longest known visual observation ever made for survey purposes." Schrader said he did not know whether the record still stands. Eric Allen Jr., managing edi tor of the Medford Mail Tribune, recalled that "a long time ago" Boy Scouts climbed Mt. Hood and Mt Shasta and set off flares or fireworks at night. Each could see the other's signals, Allen said. Tallest Peak Mt. Hood, east of Portland, is 11.245 feet high and is Oregon's tallest peak. It is more than 300 airline miles from Mt. Shasta. Joe Sauer of Redding said he has seen Mt. Shasta from the top of Mt. Tamalpais in the San Francisco Bay area. Not everyone, however, ' ac cepts all the claims being made. Most people living near Mt. Shasta say that on a clear day, the Pacific ocean is visible from the peak's summit. But Ike Eic horn, former Dunsmuir resident who now lives in Redding, says this is not true. Eichorn, a recog nized authority on the mountain. says engineers have proved this is impossible because of the Coast range which is in between. But Chap Wentworth, Duns muir publisher, insists that Mt. Shasta offers "the longest view in America and possibly the en tire world." He said that be cause of the absence of smog, and because the Sacramento val ley is long, with no obstructions in between, the mountain can be seen easily on a clear day from near Arbuckle, more than 170 airline miles away. library Site Picked In Illinois Valley Cave Junction The new Illi nois Valley branch library will be located on the south side of Palmer st., about 250 feet west of the Redwood Highway in Cave Junction. A 195 by 142 feet site has been purchased from Paul Palmer of Sherman Oaks, Calif. Work on the building is expected to begin soon. County voters this year ap proved a, $30,000 appropriation for the purchase of a site and construction of .an additional county library. Members of the library board inspected several possible locations last month and later decided on the Palmer property. 1 ...and be sure it's White Star tuna- the one with the delicate flavor!
