She may have been born with it, or it came with an acci' dent. What disturbs me particul arly is that many of these young people say that their folks jeer at them when they talk of having an operation performed which would give them a normal nose. Even their parents may be unable to see the tremendous need for having the plastic work done; they do not realize that a deformity which greatly up sets the person, and perhaps gives her an inferiority com plex, must be removed as soon as the necessary money can be saved up. If I had a daughter suffer ing mentally from an unsight ly nose that had been be queathed her by some ances tor or had broken in an ac cident and then badly set, I would have the damage re paired by an expert plastic surgeon, or a nose surgeon, before I spent money on any thing else. If I did not have the money in the bank, I would start a special savings account, and would will it up as quickly as I could. Unfortunately, these opera tion usually cost a few hun dred dollars, but I am told that some plastic surgeons are conalanly doing kindly acts to help youngsters who haven't the money, and have no way of getting it. Dr. G. David King, of the Lahcy Clinic in Boston, who wrote recently about ugly noses, insists that the best time to fix a broken nose is when it is broken, and not years later, as usually hap pens. He says that when a child gets a broken nose, neither his parents nor the family doctor may worry about It; and when an ath lete gets his nose pushed over while boxing, or playing foot ball or Ice hockey, often he falls to go to an expert to have it set properly. In thousands of cases, the attitude Is, "Wait and see.!' I remember well the wife of a wealthy man one of the look like an old prize-fighter? He got it when he was work ing his way through college, by fighting in preliminary bouts. It makes me so asham ed of him before my friends, but he won't go to a surgeon to have it straigtcned." It is true that the man did look like an old "pug," and I could see how, with that nose, he did not look as if he be longed with his college-trained wife in her smart set. But I couldn't talk him into get ting the bones rcbroken and put back where they belonged, in the middle of his face. I tell this story just to il lustrate that when an ugly or broken nose is not repaired immediately, and is left as it is, it can greatly distress not only its owner, but the own er s spouse as well. Infectious Mononucleosis When recently a doctor wrote to the American Med ical Association asking how to diagnose infectious mono nucleosis. Dr. John S. Law rence answered that usually the patient is a young person who is running a fever, has a sore throat and tonsillitis, is very tired, has large lymph nodes mainly in the sides of his neck and perhaps a large spleen (in the left upper quar. tcr of the abdomen). The person has in his blood loo many white cells, called conomytcs, and these com monly have an abnormally- shaped center (nucleus). In from 2 to 4 weeks, the blood usually shows what is called a heterophile antibody which in a test lube, causes blood cells from a sheep to slick together and form clumps. This should take place even when the sample of pa tient's blood has been dilut ed 200 times. There are puzzling cases in which the young person is not very 111, but shows the typical blood abnormalities. The im portant point about the dis ease is thai In a matter of weeks, the patient is likely to be improving, but for six months he is likely to Icel tired and ill and below pur, and at night may perspire so heavily especially in the nock and chest area that he has to get up and change his pajamas. The disease is probably due yyi MAR. 22 T 7-10-12-131 H 33-34-38 ,f TAURUI AM; ai ( ij MAY 21 4-14-16-22) t24-31.3290 GEMNI -VP.MAV22 JUNE 22 120-26-3043 .C60-7I.72 CANCER JUNE 23 iiJ5-59-81-39 uo fift JULY 24 AUO. 23 -53-5B-41 j.7 an srM VIRGO AUG. 24 SEPT. 22 I 2- 6- 9-29 28.29-85-84 STAR GAZERJ JK Vour Daily Activity Guid.

The measure Is part of Gov. Mark Hatfield's legislative program. The measure was opposed by 15 representatives on the grounds the legislation would give too much rule - makinrt power to the Department ot Motor Vehicles. The department, under the proposed lnw, would have j authority to set scat belt , standards. i The law would require that i bells be installed in the front seat of all new autos. and an chors be installed under rear seats so belts can be added. The law would not apply lo used cars, nor to autos pur chased out of state. Rep. Katherinc Musa (D The Dalles) was one of those opposing the measure. She challenged the provision granting the department authority to set standards fo. the safety equipment. Others opposing It were Reps. Cornelius Batesnn l Salem). Russell Bonesleele (tl Salem).

By ZAN STARK United Press International Salem rUPIl The best de fense against communism is an understanding of the na lure, purpose, methods, and objectives of communism. And a knowlcdfe of com munism will make students more aware and appreciative of a free society. That is the theory behind a course about communism proposed for Oregon's public high schools. The teacher guide "Under standing the Nature of Com munism" has undergone al most two years of preparation. Supt. of Public Instruction Leon Minear said, "This is a delicate problem. It was deemed wise to propose the course now as an alternate. After more experience we could make it a required course." Teacher Guide In a forward lo the teacher guide, Miuenr says: "The study of communism in order to prepare Americans to resist its false and deceitful claims and to understand its weaknesses, as well as the great wrongs it has perpetu ated upon mankind, is a clear obligation of the public schools, too long neglected in many places. "This study is meant to be neither indoctrination Into closed -mind resistance nor mere denunciation of our cold war opponenls. Rather, it is an honest and open factual examination of the theoretical premises and actual opera tions of the two great rival systems of human organiza tion and government today "In this study, we must be careful to recognize that both democracy, particularly Amer ican democracy, and Marxist communism have evolved and changed considerably from Iheir historic beginnings. "We cannot rely on slogans, shibboleths, and stereotypes. We must study these systems in the light of their historical origins, evolutionary develop ment, and manifest outcomes and judge them accordingly "From such a study, we can have no fear of consequences on the minds and character of Oregon youth." Salem Woman Dies In Nevada Accident Tonopah, Nev. - IUPD l. Mrs. Ella Halik, 78, of Salem, Ore., was killed Monday when the car in which she was riding went out of control during a windstorm and plunged oft U.S. Highway 95 three miles south of here.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - (Special) -If the states don't crack down on "desert land speculation" the federal government will. Oregon s At torney Gener al Robert Y. Thornton said after a meet ing of the As sociation o f State Attor neys General here. Thorn ton said the as- Smita s o c i a t ion s committe on consumer pro tection devoted considerable attention to mounting com plaints from purchasers of real estate which has been heavily promoted as desirable property in relatively under developed desert country. He cited the Christmas Val ley project in Lake County, Ore., which Thornton said has been heavily advertised in the Los Angeles area and less so in San Francisco. He said his office has received numerous complaints from California but neither Oregon nor California law is adequate to protect consumers in this area. "The problem is a gap in legislation," said Thornton. Thornton and other attor neys general and federal au thorities spoke to the meet ing about devices for tighten ing regulation of such pro motions. New York has a strong law which requires anyone pro moting in New York such land sales to secure a license from the New York secretary of state, after his office has made an on - the scene in spection of the project, no matter in what state thedand is located. Aim in Oregon Thornton said this is his aim in Oregon, where the leg islature held a hearing on this subject Monday. He said the California legislature has amendatory legislation in the works. Thornton said he under stands that 18 or 19 desert land sales projects are in the works in Oregon alone but only two have been heavily promoted - Christmas Valley and another called Lake Val ley near Burns. The attorney said he wants the state to have authority to inspect any such ODerations in any state before thev can be advertised in Oregon, and to require that a prospectus giving detailed information go to every buyer before the deal is closed. He said Ihe problem is not so much that misinformation about such property is given to buyers but lack of information about schools, roads, sanitary facili ties, water supply and other vital matters to any new com munity. Problem Scrutinised Federal officials from the Justice and Post Office De partments and the Federal Trade Commission are "scru tinizing the problem," Thorn ton said, but they told the attorneys general that this is a subject for which the states should take primary responsibility. Postal authori ties are watching use of mails for promotion and FTC offi cials are watching advertis ing, ne said. "The states had better do the job or the federal gov ernment will do it," Thorn ton asserted. Other issues which engaged the conference included tight ening state regulation of tax exempt organizations, of which there are 900 in Ore gon with assets aggregating $35 to $50 millions. In Cali fornia such organizations have assets totaling $5 to $6 billion, Thornton said. Under Oregon law present ly such an organization se cures tax exempt status by simply writing a letter to the state tax commissioner, Thornton said. A bill pending in the legislature would re quire them to register with the office of the attorney gen eral or state treasurer, file annual reports of their activi ties, and give the attorney general the power to inquire into their activities to deter mine whether they justify tax exempt status. Sen. Neuberger on Roosevelt Commission Erratic Weapon Downs Two Planes Washington - IUPD - Two Air Force planes were shot down recently by a weapon they were testing. However, the two pilots and a camera man ejected safely from the aircraft. The report was made in previously secret testimony released Monday by the House Armed Services Committee. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, Air Force chief of staff, said the planes were dropping land mines with delayed fuses on some railroad tracks when one went off "instantaneous ly."
