Many middle-aed women who, in their youth, were un fortunate enough to wear shoes that were much too short for their feet, now have very painful bunions. Their two big toes, instead of pointing straight ahead (as they do in AivareF babies or in primitive peoples, who have gone barefoot all their days) point way over toward the little toes. This causes a place on the inner side of each foot to stick out, and to take all the pressure of each shoe. Some podiatrists help by ap plying a splint which tends to held the big toe in a more nearly normal position, but the only permanent cure can be given by a good orthopedist who will operate and rebuild each joint. He must so rebuild it that the big toe will again point forward. Then, the wom an will have to be careful to wear sensible shoes which will not again make bunions. Usu ally, it takes a while before the person can walk comfort ably on the rebuilt foot. Many people ask if I would advise having the operation, or if it would be better to ' stick it out." Since the opera tion is not a serious one. and fince there is mighty little chance of death or disaster. I think it would be best to have the work done. Especi ally if the woman is in her forties, she should ask herself if she wants to go hobbling along for another 40 years. I use this same argument with women who greatly need a pelvic repair operation, or with women who are having spells of gallstone colic, or who have an unsightly goiter. Why not have the work done, fo as to enjoy comfort for the next 10 or 20 years? The Menopause So many women write me begging for more information on the problems of the meno pause that I will here give the names of a few books on the subject, well-written by able women. I always maintain that the most helpful book on a disease should be the one written by a highly intelligent person who has had the trou ble under discussion and has come through it well. The dis tresses that often go with the menopause can best be de scribed by a woman of 50 or 55. What can a man know about menopause, except for what women tell him? I feel so strongly about the impor tance of bonks written by pa tients about their diseases, that I now have some 470 such books in my library. I recent ly wrote a book called Minds That Came Back (Lippincott) which is made up of abstracts of 65 of the best of these books. I think it is one of the most interesting books I ever wrote, and it can give such help to many nervous persons. Three good books on the menopause, written by wom en, are: Facts About the Meno pause by Maxine Davis (McGraw-Hill): The Changing Years by Madeline Gray (Dou bleday); and You'll Live Through It by Dr. Miriam Lin coln (Harper's). stamped, self-addressed enve lope with your request for "Menopause and Hysterecto my," to Dr. Walter C.

Don't do it, kid! Dont. For if you do, you'll bitterly regret ' it for the rest of your life. You yourself will condemn your self to the economic underworld. You yourself wiil so handicap yourself that through all the years ahead, you will ; be either in the low-paying service industries or submarginal factories or in the dullest of occupations, and periodically you'll be in the ranks of the unemployed. This is not preaching or guesswork. This ii certainty. And below you'll read both statistics and statements from an authority in this field Louis F. Buckley, newly-appointed New York Regional Director of the U.S. Labor Dept.'s Bureau of Employment Security which I hope will fright en you into swearing you won't drop out. The plain fact is that the jobs of the 1960s and 1970s will demand education and training on a scale never before even approached in the United States. As Buckley wisely points out, two generations ago our immigrant grandfathers came to an America in which there was a great demand for unskilled workers; their lack of education was not a handi cap. A generation ago the majority of our working people did not have high school education; industry operated on a much lower level of skill and the youth who quit school at 16 could begin as a laborer, pick up skills as he went along. But today the situation is dramatically different. In the years ahead the climbing emphasis on mechanization of our production facilities, the increasing substitution of machines for men will actually result in a relative decline in the num ber of industrial laborers needed. Warns Buckley: "In tomorrow's automated world, only the skilled will find the path smooth. The untrained or uneducated will not be able to design, produce, install, service, or operate the machinery of the future. They will constitute a new disad-; vantage minority group in the American labor force in creasingly handicapped in competing for jobs because of the greater availability of better educated workers and de creasing opportunities for the unskilled workers." The handwriting is on the wall in letters 10 feet high for you to see right now. During the 1959-60 recession the jobless rate for those with less than high school education I was 8 per cent, for high school graduates it was about 4 per cent; for those with additional education it was around 2 per cent. It Is the unskilled who fill our pools of long-term jobless the unskilled young and old. For our national survival we need you as an educated, trained person. For your personal survival you need the identical thing. For here is the way Buckley predicts the job picture is going to be: The most important growth in jobs will be in the pro fessional and technical occupations with particular need for engineers, scientists, such types of technicians as engineering aides specialists. This group will show a tremendous growth of over 40 per cent in the next decade, against an anticipated rise of 20 per cent in total employment in our country. Clerical and sales occupations will come second with a rate of growth of almost 30 per cent. The manager, official and proprietor occupational group will rise about 25 per cent. Among the blue-collar occupations, by far the largest relative growth will come in the skilled worker goup ex pected to rise about 25 per cent during the 1960s. The semi-skilled group will grow at a slower rate than total employment and the unskilled group won't grow at all. Go to school to get manual training if this is your inclina tion, or go to school lo get a broad education with the ob jective of specializing in college and graduate school. We need both. But go to school. Don't, don't drop out this summer.
