An Ugly Noia
I feel very sympathetic
when perhaps a high school
girl writes to say that she has
an ugly nose that distresses
her every day life of her lite.
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

Salem - IUPD - The House
Tuesday approved a bill re
quiring scat belts in all new
autos sold in Oregon after
July 1, 10U4.
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.

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

Discuss Problem of
Land Speculation
By A. 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.
