Some tell of having missed a chair in some way as they were sitting down. and as a re sult tlicy have sat heavily on the floor. Oth ers tell of slip ping, perhaps on ice, and i coming down heavily. My own experience with these people is that one prac tically never sees a broken bone in the x-ray films, and when one examines the little tail bone (coccyx) he cannot feel anything wrong with it or the .'oint between it and the sacrum the bone above between the two hip bones. Sometimes in these cases, after some weeks of sitting on hard chairs or on an air filled rubber ring, the per son gets relief. Much may de pend on whether the person it is usually a woman is a bit arthritic, or perhaps overly sensitive lo any slight Injury. For the pain, two as pirin tablets can be taken ev ery four hours or so, depend ing on how frequently the pain gets distressing. . There is another group again the patients are almost all women who have pains in the region of the taii-bone and cannot remember any in jury to the region. I have seen dozens of them, and I never could find anything wrong with the bone. I nev er heard of one who had the tailbone removed surgically who was any the belter for the operation. I agree with those many physicians who are satisfied that the pain these women have Is like the stomachaches of thousands of nervous and migrainous women il must arise in the brain. Devtloped Sevcrt Pain That a constant pain in the abdomen can be due to a nervous shock was shown by a young woman who was rob bed of all her savings by a scoundrel who had made love to her and had promised to marry her when, with her money, he had gotten a di vorce. He never came back, and as a result of this she de veloped a severe pain in her right loin and had to give up her good job as an office manager. Because In 1927 I did not know what I know now, I got surgeon lo cut all of the nerves leading away from the painful area. When this pro cedure left the region com pletely numb, but just as pain ful as ever, I knew that her unhappy brain, which had been so badly shocked by her feelings of hurt and disgrace. Today I know that an ab dominal pain is arising in the brain when it is constant day and night, and month in and month out. Most of the ner vous pains in the tail bone arc constant. Another symp tom that tells me that a pain is arising in the brain is its great resistance to pain-relieving drugs. Years ago, lo help in the diagnosis, I some times would give a dose of morphine, and even that would not give relief as It should have done if the pain had a local cause. About all that I know to do with a tail-bone pain is to ask the person to stand it until Il runs Its course and quits. Keep Drugs Away From Small Children Every so often I am aston ished when I read how very many children are killed ev ery year In this country be cause they get into the fami ly medicine chest above the wash basin and cat a hand ful of pills they find there. The children think they are eating candies. Even aspirin, if a child takes enough of It, can kill. Obviously, it is high ly desirable that in homes where there are small chil dren, medicines should be kept in a case which cannot be opened by a child. I recently received a sam ple of a small medicine cabi net which cannot be opened by a child because in order to open il the person lias to squeeze a couple of places, one on the top of the cabi net and one on the bottom. Only an adult has a hand large enough to compress the two locks together. Those who arc interested can get the name and ad dress of the distribulor by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope with Iheir request to Dr. Walter C. Al varez, Dept. MMT, The Reg ister and Tribune Syndicate, Box 057, Des Moines 4, Iowa. tic. In fact, her word for it was "ridiculous." ' ' ; "This kind ol thing," th wrota, "It on par with ihoi btautiful color pictures of food that appear in maga sines for women. They look gorgeous but run all over the plate as soon at the tint serving it taken out." I think she may have a point there. Certainly all of the budgets that I ever pre pared ran all over the plate. At her suggestion, I did a little research among tie working girls of my acquaint ance. My findings convinced me that she was right in de claring thai the recommended budget would not work.. The average working girl undoubtedly would revise it drastically, so that " would shape up something like this. First of all, she would open charge account. That would eliminate the $8 for clothing. The $8 would then be added to the $5 for sayings, making total of $13. Then the $13 would be transferred from savings lo 1 personal expenses, raising that item to $17,50. Of that total, all but $2.50 would be put on the charge ac count, leaving $15 extra for recreation, vacations. But since a vacatio i would nol be due until next summer, the $15 would be added to the clothing budget, raising it lo $23. And since clothing goes on the charge account, the $23 would be added to the $17 for room and board, bringing the total to $40, which would make it impossible lo move to a bigger apartment. ' Then three roommates would . be invited to move in and share expenses, which would save $30. This would be added to miscellaneous, as would the $2.50 for medical expenses and the $1 for edu cation, books. By budgeting her income in this fashion, the working girl can get by until the bills come in, at which point she asks for a raise. United Nations, N. Y. -WD-The United Nations first step ped into the Congo in 1060, Just 14 days after the former Belgian territory celebrated its independence. ' The prolonged and fre quently bloody UN opera tion that followed has since threatened to bankrupt the world organization. Independence came to the Congo on June 30, 1960. Some fighting broke out in Lco- poldville that day and in a matter of days, mutinous units of the Congolese army were running wild in the capital and other cities, shooting, rap ing and looting. Troops Sent Back Belgium, which had pulled its troops out of the Congo, sent them back to protect Bel gian lives and property. Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba branded the action "aggres sion. He appealed to the United Nations for help and on July 14, the Security Council call ed on Belgium to withdraw. It also authorized "such mili tary assistance as may be nec essary" to help restore order. But even before this on July 11 maverick President Moise Tshombe of Katanga province had declared his in dependence from the Leopold ville government. .. The original Security Coun cil resolution, under which the world organization is act ing in the Congo to this day, called for defensive UN ac tion only. But later stronger resolutions authorizing force were approved to prevent civ il war between Katanga and the central government. UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold was killed in a plane crash on ' Sept. 20, 1061, while on a mission to end the civil war. Never Consumated A UN Katanga cease fire was declared two days later, and Tshombe promised to end his secession. But a Katanga Congolese accord was never consumated and in December fighting again broke out be tween Katanga troops and UN forces in Elisabethville, Tshombc's capital. Another cease fire stopped this battle temporarily. But it has flared again, with heavy fighting between UN and Katanga forces reported in Elisabethville once more. Steve Allen Promotes Winter Pears Nationwide The promotion of winter pears from the Mcdford area will get a plug from television star Steve Allen when the "Great Zeus, What Juice" message of the Oregon-Wash-ington-California Pear bureau is spread to the nation's view ers of Allen's nightly tele vision show.

Pear Theme Allen takes an active part in the current Anjou, Bosc and Cornice winter pears pro motion through 15 minutes of "pear-feet" entertainment on his nightly television show. The television funnyman uses the current pear campaign theme "The Fruit of The Gods" and the slogan "Great Zeus, What Juice" and back ground for this recent snow.
