ter, here, according to Dr. A
Clement Silverman, director
of the city's Bureau of Com

Medford Girl Wins
In Poster Contest
Cheryl Erickson, fourth
grade student at Jackson
school, won second prize in
group 1 (grades 2-4) in a state
poster contest held in Oregon
schools as a feature of nation
al . children's dental health
week Feb. 7-13.
Her father is Roy Erickson,
Medford police patrolman.
The winning poster depicted
a girl in pigtails. She is to
receive a cash prize.
Madeline F. - I am a hap
pily married woman in my
30s with four young chil
dren. My only serious prob
lem dates back to childhood.
I was pretty badly scarred
around the face and neck as
the result of an accident. I
suffered terrioly from my
self consciousness about this
in childhood and as a teen
ager. Fortunately, I met my
husband and was married be
fore I had a chance to start
feeling, really sorry for my
self. Frankly, I can't under
stand how he fell in love
with me.
Anyway, I still suffer ag
onies when I see someone
staring at me. I have tried
every trick of cosmetics but
nothing helps much. At last
I've found a doctor who be
lieves he can do something
through a series of operations.
It will be awfully expensive,
but I want it. My husband
doesn't want me to do it. Yet
I often feel I must be repul
sive to him.
Daniel F. -1 don't begrudge
Madeline the money for this
thing and I think she knows
that. It's just that I hate to

see her go through a lot of
operations, have a lot of pain
- and not even be sure of the
results. The doctor says him
self he can't guarantee more
than a slight improvement.
I have always felt that she
is ridiculously self-conscious
about this thing. I don't even
see the scars most of the time,
and when I do I like them.
That may sound silly, but
they are so much a part of
her I think I'd miss them if
they weren't there.
I have done my best to re
assure Madeline and build up
her self-confidence, but every
now and then she gets terribly
depressed and says she hates
to go out among people and
that I must be ashamed of
her. Of course, if the oper
ation would make her feel
much better I would let her
have it.
The Council: All the ex
perts in mental health are in
agreement that few people
who consider themselves un
attractive are actually so.
Usually .they harp upon some
feature that others wouldn't
notice and some actually call
the attention of others to this
feature. Many are so self-
conscious that they treat oth
ers coldly out of fear of get
ting hurt. Then, they inter
pret their lack of love or
mends as a sign of their physi
cal repulsiveness.
We think that the most im
portant thing for this kind of
person is a change from with
in. However, there is no ques
tion that an outward change
is often helpful in bringing
about that change from with
in. When the individual feels
fee of the bad feature or
blemish that has bothered him
all his life, he will suddenly
turn a happy, friendly face
toward the world and get the
reassuring response of friend
ly affection in return.
Madeline is apparently of a
very uneven disposition. She
must have a certain amount
of outgoing, unself-conscious
warmth to have secured the
love and loyalty of a fine hus
band. But her spells of de
pression and her fear that she
is repulsive to her husband in
dicate that her scars are more
than skin deep. There is a
deep reservoir of fear and
shame beneath the surface.
We cannot promise Made
line that the operations would
wipe this away. It might help.

Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Bronxville, N.Y.-Jack Paar, watching the telecast of the
end of the NBC show he walked out of near the beginning:
"The show was born on the air and grew on the air. Why
not say goodbye on the air?"
Reno, Nev.-Actor Mickey Rooney, once ordered off the
Jack Paar show by Paar, with a job offer for the newly un
employed funnyman:
"I think he ought to have a drink and get a cool head be
cause I've always got room for him in my tire business."
New York-Comedian Orson Bean, attacking the censor
ship of a joke by the National Broadcasting Co. which re
sulted in Paar's quitting:
"The whole thing is rotten, it stinks, and NBC has no
guts."
Los Angeles-Accused wife slayer Dr. R. Bernard Finch,
winding up his testimony in his trial for murder:
"The only armament I have is to tell the whole truth. God
willing, I will be free if I do tell the truth."
Gardena, Calif.-Mrs. Irene Robbins, who gained a repu
tation as a model mother during 18 years as a fugitive, on
receiving a full pardon for parole violation Thursday:
. . . . . i i . IV.M
It s been more tnan neciic, dui m in em m
I could have hoped for."
But more important is the
further development of her
ability to really care for oth
ers. She should try to fight
her self-pitying depressions,
count her many blessings and
try to find a sincere interest
in . the world and people
around her.

Wines on Vessel
Said Satisfactory
San Francisco (LTD The
wine tanker Angelo Petri's
cargo of sherry, port, burgun
dy, muscatel and vermouth
survived 24 hours of pound
ing in good shape and is ex
pected to be declared undam
aged. "The wines are okay," said
Louis Petri, president of Unit
ed Vintners, Inc., owners of
the 21,800-ton vessel which
was towed back to port Thurs
day. ,
A spokesman for the Cali
fornia Health Department's
Food and Drug Inspections
Bureau said samples of the
wine will undergo routine
laboratory analysis but are
expected to be found satisfac
tory. The tanker was caught in
a violent storm just outside
the Golden Gate and was
without rudder or power for
more than 24 hours before
three tugs got lines aboard
and towed her back to port.
