Bunions: Should They
Be Operated On?
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

DON'T DROP OUT, KID
Don't drop out, kid! j
School will be over in a few weeks, millions of young
sters will be pouring out of our elementary and high schools, I
huge numbers will get summer jobs, have summer romances,
be delighted over their ability to earn a weekly paycheck,
be entranced at the prospect of marrying the beloved one
be tempted to drop out from school, keep earning that pay
check and set up homes of their own.
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.
