Revision of Working Girl's Budget
Makes Bigger Apartment Possible
By DICK WEST
Washinaton-fllPU-I have al

the working girl and so I was
naturally In-
I (crested in a
I clipping sent
lo me by a
secretary cm-
ployed by a
Chicago I a w
firm. The
clipping, tak

money man-

lake-home pay is $42.20 I
come as follows:
$17 for room and board
$8 for clothing; $5 for savings;
$4.50 for personal expenses
$2.50 for medical expenses
$2.50 for recreation, vaca
tions; $1 for education, books;
$1.50 miscellaneous.
You will note this acids up
to $42. The budget docs not
indicate what happens to the
remaining 20 cents. ' assume
it is a yacht rental.

A Sora 'Tail Bona'
It is surprising how many
persons have a sore "tail
bone." 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.
The program is seen in 26
major cities. This show, taped
In Hollywood. Dec. "1, is to
be seen Jan, 10 and 17 in the
various areas. It will be
shown on Portland's station

bureau material on the Steve
Allen show were made by

Pacific National Public Rela
tions and manager of the
Portland office of Pacific Na
tional Advertising agency.
Donald McNiven, account ex
ecutive for Pacific National,
worked with the agency's
client, Oregon Washington

ranging for ripe pears and
props for the 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.
Allen parades through the
show in a Greek toga. A
scantily-clad model dressed as
Diana, the goddess of the
hunt, and filled with infor
mation about pears, is a guest
on the show. The two demon
strate the proper way to eat
a pear and in the process, Al
len eats ten pears. The mem
bers of the audience each re
ceives a ripe Anjou, Bosc and
Cornice pear, a pear slicer
and a recipe book.
The show is funny as well
as juicy. With the guests and
audience eating pears, Allen
breaks up the show with his
Zeus suit.
The January-February pro
motion for the Oregon-Washington-California
Pear bureau
will include radio sp ts on 78
stations and ads in 64 news
