MEDFORD, OREGON The Medkal Roundup ft t . mHll I ' 10C fcmerHu coniultant In Mcdlrtn Mavo clinic Emerliui Proieiiur of Mcdlcint Mayo Clinic (Reguier and Trlhuna Syndicate, 1962 Plantar Warlt Hundreds of people ask me what to do for a plantar wart which is painful to walk on, and some times hard to get rid of. As Dr. Edgar D. Grady, of At- -.r.. lania, ua., SrA says in the Journal CP (May, 1982) there are a number of s a t i ffactory methods of removing a plan tar wart. One objection to some of them is that, for a while afterward, the patient has to keep off the foot. While Dr. Grady was on duty in the Navy, he developed a method of removing a plan tar wart which Is not very disabling. The affected area is thor oughly scrubbed with hexa chlorophene, and then t h e overlying dead tissue is trim med off with heavy scissors. Then the tissue under and around the wart is numbed with a local anesthetic. Then a high-speed, motor driven steel burr such as is ob tainable in a hardware store is used to grind out the wart. With the help of a mag nifying - glass to examine the area being ground, the phy sician can remove the last remnants of the wart with only very little of the healthy tissue. After the wart is removed, a pressure dressing Is placed on the operative site and the feet are elevated for 20 min utes t o minimize bleeding. The next day the dressing is removed, and then, with a soft padded dressing on the foot, the patient can walk with fair comfort. The only persons not always suitable for this treatment are dia betics. Superfluous Hair Hundreds of women keep writing to ask what is the best wav to get rid of super fluous hair on the face, the thighs and the breasts. As Dr. Howard T. Bchrman said recently the only msthod for getting completely rid of the hair is by an electrical des truction of the tiny "papilla in which the hair grows and develops. Today this is done with a fine needle which the operator tries to insert ex actly in the papilla. He or she then turns on a diathermy or high-frequency type of cur rent which coagulates and destroys the papilla. If the papilla is destroyed, that is the end of the hair. But, un fortunately, when even a n expert technician does the work, from 15 to 25 per cent of the hairs are likely to grow back, and then they will have to be treated again. Naturally, the treatments take time and may cost more than the woman can afford Many women with supcrflu ous hair shave every day, or they use "wax dcpilation," or chemical depilatory creams. These methods do not destroy the hair papilla and hence the hair grows o u t again. Shaving docs not make the hair more coarse and more obvious. Hemophilia According lo Dr. William S. Beck, writing in the Jour nal of the AMA, in cases of hemophilia the clotting time of the blood may be greatly prolonged, but in mild cases it can be normal. Congenital hemophilia can be associated with a deficiency of any one of several clotting factors. In most cases, the one lack ing is "anti-hemophilic glob ulin" (AUG).

Sharper Than Usual During the firpt half of 1962, retail food prices in creased slightly and in June were almost 1 per cent high er than a year earlier. Price increases were sharper than usual for fresh fruits and veg etables, and there were mod erate increases in prices of cereal and some other food products. ' Higher prices for these foods were partly off set by seasonal declines in re tail prices of some major livestock items, The department said that although retail food prices may decline from mid-year levels, they are expected to average about the same as during the I art half of 1961. The department said net production in the last half of 1962 will be up slightly from the first half and may be about the same as a year earlier. Retail prices arc ex pected to average as high as or a little higher than the last half of 1961 possibly a little lower for beef and higher for pork and lamb. are classified as severe, mod crate, or mild according to the severity of the tendency to bleeding. A more sensitive Indicator of the trouble is the prothrombin c o n s u m ption test, which is almost always abnormal in cases of hemo philia. What IS Parkinson's dis ease anyway?

Crash Injures Retail prices of frying chickens probably will be higher during the remainder of the year, as supplies are declining seasonally and are well below a year ago. Supplies of vegetables and deciduous fruits for fresb use, while seasonally large this summer, are about the same as last summer. Canned and frozen citrus juices arc in larger supply than a year earlier, and pri ces are expected to continue below 1961. Because of the population increase and a change in the pattern of buying, consumer expenditures for food in the first half of 1962 were about 3.3 per cent higher than the first half of 1961. The depart ment said the bill for market ing and processing food rose in response to rising incomes. Apparently, with higher in comes, people bought higher priced foods. The farm value of food marketed changed very little with marketings and farm prices averaging about the same as a year earlier.

Bikini Replaces Flag of Spain Gerona, Spain - (UNI - Four English tourists who allegedly lowered a Spanish flag and ran up the lower half of a girl's bikini in its place faced expulsion today from Spain. The four earlier were charg ed with insulting the Spanish flag and were to face a mili tary court. But a military governorship spokesman said the government decided to drop the charges. Informed sources said the civil government probably would write the affair off as ordinary "hooliganism," fine the Englishmen and kick them out of the country. According to reports. Eng lishmen Richard Hogger, 24, look the lower half of the bi kini from the girl while they were swimming with three other friends, ran along the beach to a flag pole, ran down the Spanish flag tlying there and raised the bikini in its place. Meany Opposes Strike Intervention Washington - lUPIl - AFL CIO President George Meany said Sunday the government should not enter labor dis putes where it might be dic tating terms in the public in terest. Meany said he did not ob ject to government-sponsored mediation, arbitration or con ciliation but did object to workers being denied the right to strike because public interest was paramount. If a business venture is of such paramount interest to the nation, he said, "I think we ought to eliminate any idea of private profit." Meany said he felt such key industries should be government owned.

If we don't get a substantial across-the-board cut in In dividual and corporation income taxes at this session of Con gress to stimulate spending and thereby give a new lift to business activity, what are we probably facing in the months ahead? A period of "standstill" in our economy. Describe it as a "pause" or "lull" or "near stagnation" or "sluggish expansion" or a "disappointingly slow rate of growth" or a "leveling off" or a "slide up" or "modest improvement" or "faltering advance" or "doldrums at a high level" or a "plaleau at a high level" or a "loss of momentum." Whatever you call it or however you describe it, the pattern emerging is one of "standstill" after only 17 months of mild advance from the fourth recession of post-World War II. Standing still even at Ihe highest levels ever In a dynamic economy such as ours would mean we're falling back. For our labor force is growing rapidly year afler year and unless the economy also grows rapidly, the jobs won't be available for workers entering the Job market for the first time and for those whose Jobs are erased by automation of their factories and offices. Under thost conditions, our unemployment rate which hasn't fallen even near to the 5 per cent level, much leal dropped to the 4 per cent rate considered "tolerable" would be climbing steadily again. In many industries too, there is both excess and obsolete plant capacity and a pause would mean profits would be peaking out or declining. There Is disturbing evidence Ihe peaking out already may have occurred. At the same time, the deficit In our Federal burigrt would soar, for the simple reason that paychecks and profits would not be producing sufficient taxes lo cover the spend ing built into the budget. This isn't gloomy guessing although so many economic , predicilions for 1962 have been so (ar off base that eco nomists can't be blamed for being whit n( forecasting and readers can't be blamed for being skeptical about the ac curacy of the forecasts. Nevertheless, the Ingle of the above lies in one key question: where is the stimulus lo come from that would lift our economy out of its present stale of stand-still-pausc-lull-near stagnation-sluggish expansion-vou name it? The stimulus won't come from sharply rising spending by tile federal government or states or cities. The higsest rale of rise In federal government spending Is behind us; it gave our economy strength in 1961. State and local spending is still rising but not at a pace that would add real oomph to the economy either. Government spending can't be counted on. The stimulus won't come from sharply rising spending by businessmen or plants and equipment. On the contrary, tins is the weak spot. The latest government survey of business spending plans in May indicated businessmen had not hiked their programs above the eight per cent increase they scheduled in February. The latest McGraw-Hill survey made in June, alter the stock market crackup and Ihe sleel fracas. Indicated businessmen were not cutting back on plans to invest but neither were Ihey upgrading their programs. The new liberalized de preciation schedules should prop business investments In factories and equipment but there' are no signs now of any significant spurt in this vital area. Nor will the stimulus come from sharply rising spending by consumers for goods and services, according to present signs. Conaumeri have been the mainatay o( the economy so far and (pending on autoa has been the brightest spot in the picture. But the rise in consumer incomes is now alow, ing and there ia nothing on the horiion to caute any sudden ahift upward. There elao ia no evidence in the aurveya of conaumera to auggeat en abrupt change in their plana to buy steadily but not enthuaiaatically. The biggest rate of rise in conaumer apending aeema behind ua too. These are the three areas of spending. If none ran be counted on to give the economy a new lift, whrre could the stimulus come from? The answer is no one sees where it could come from barring a world conflict in which case no forecast would matter unless It comes from major tax reduclions for in dividuals and businessmen.
