P.eba Y.-My husband puis
me through torture because
I'm flat jhested.
James Y. - Our marriage
might have a chance i she
had plastic surgery.
Reba Y.-I'm in my 20's,
married for three years. I'm
considered beautiful and men
used to line up to take me
out. I chose Jim because 1
thought he truly loved me,
not just my face and figure.
Now he considers himself
cheated and thinks it's all
right to chase other women.
He tells me I'm not a woman,
but a boy. He wants me to
try surgery.
James Y.-A woman should
look like a woman. Reba fool
ed me. A man is entitled to a
feminine wife, not just fem
inine clothes on a mannish
form. I don't know hov-.' much
of our early love for each
other is left, but it might re
turn if she'd go see a doctor
about one of those operations.
1 read that they're done suc
cessfully in California.
The Council: Because of
frequent queries on this hush
hush matter, we consulted au
thorities in both plastic sur
gery and psychiatry. We
learned that there is a pad
ding operation (transplants of
a synthetic foam substance
are inserted under the skin)
which has been successfully
performed by specialists.
But no, Reba and Jim
the surgery won't save
your marriage. In fact, no
accredited surgeon will per
form it if that's the only rea
son you present. The doctors
usually work closely with psy
chiatrists, lest a patient ex
pect Paradise, Valhalla, Olym
pia rolled into one forever
after. We advise you to turn
to a marriage counselor, not
a surgeon. You must be helped
to see that it is not the chest
but the childish concept of
"love" which has busted your
union.

Bill Would Abolish
Capital Punishment
Salem The net effect of
Senate Bill 10, which will be
come Oregon law if SJR 3 is
approved at the next general
election, will be abolition of
capital punishment, according
to James A. Redden (D-Med-ford).
House amendments to SJR
3 and SB 10, relating to pun
ishment for first degree mur
der, were adopted by the
Senate. ,
SJR 3, subject to approval
of the voters, provides that
the Oregon constitution,
whether revised or not, will
not specify the punishment
for first degree murder as is
now the case.
SB 10 also provides for a
10-year maximum sentence
for those convicted of first
degree murder as well as pro
viding for life time super
vision after parole.
The two Senate bills were
among the most controversial
measures coming before the
House. Four floor debates
were necessary before the
measures were returned to the
Senate. Redden said passage
of the two measures rates as
one of the most significant
legislative steps to date. The
two measures are on their
way to the Governor's desk.

n
Cirrhosit of the Liver
It is remarkable the num
ber of letters I receive from
people who say they are suf
fering from cirrhosis of the
liver. With
this disease,
the veins in
the gullet en
large greatly
because hard
e n i n g and
shrinkage of
the liver
makes it diffi
cult for blood
to go, as it
normally does, from the small
bowel through the liver and
up to the heart,
A discussion of the disease
was presented by Drs. A. J.
Garceau, T. C. Chalmers and
the Boston Inter-Hospital Liv
er Group, who studied 471
people with these1 large veins
in the gullet. When much of
the blood cannot gel through
the liver, it goes through veins
at the lower end of the gullet,
where this tube joins the
stomach. In order to carry
more blood, these veins gel
larger and larger, until often
one or more rupture, and
cause severe bleeding.
In some people with cirr
hosis, the liver is large, and
the spleen enlarges with it.
In later stages of the disease,
the abdomen fills up with
water-a condition known as
ascites, or dropsy. In a man,
the breasts tend to get large,
and little so-called "spiders"
of enlarged blood vessels ap
pear in the skin.
In 83 per cent of the per
sons studied by the Boston
doctors, there was a history
of an excessive use of alco-hol-that
is, at least a quart
of wine, or two quarts of beer,
or eight ounces of whiskey a
day.

ARE YOU WAN AND NERVOUS, WORRYING
ABOUT YOUR ROSES?... WORN OUT TRYING TO
BRING THE BLOOM BACK TO THEIR CHEEKS
. . . RUN-DOWN TRYING TO FIGHT OFF INSECTS
AND DISEASE? HELP IS HERE AT LAST1 ORTHO
HAS PUT TOGETHER A ROSE KIT THAT TAKES
CARE OF EVERYTHING BUT THE THORNS!
At last you can relax. Instead of struggling with
a special spray for this insect and a special dust
for that... or trying frantically to find the perfect
fertilizer... you reach for one handy rose kit. The
Ortho people have packaged together everything
you need to get the blooms you planted for: the
Ortho Rose Duster and a bottle of Ortho Liquid
Rose Food.
Rose Dust controls both insects and disease.
And Oh i ho Liquid Rose Food is just what the
experts ordered to feed roses a balanced formula
in easily-digested liquid form.
EASY DOES IT
The Ortho people ant'd to simplify the time
consuming task of rose care. First they invented
Rose Dust. By combining insecticidea and fungi
cides, they did away with the need for doing two
jobs: controlling diseases and halting insects. Then
they developer! the pliable plastic duster. You just
aim the Rose Duster and squeeze. You put protec
tion on blooms and leaves "pouf". . . like that!
If you "pouf" around the rose bush about every 7
to 10 days during the growing season, you'll prob
ably stop trouble before it ever starts. Rose Dust
wards off most bugs and blights that ruin roses.
Aphids. thrips, rose weevil, Japanese beetle, pow
dcry mildew, black spot and rust.
ROSE FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Then they set out to make a pel feet rose food.
They had to find a formula that gave roses all the
nutrients they need ; a food that also gave a quick
feeding for a surge of growth as well as a steady
feeding to keep bushes growing strong. The
answer: Ortho Liquid Rose Food, loaded with
nitrogen, phosphorous and potash.With a chelating
agent added to "unlock" iron and other valuable
minerals in the soil and make them available to
the roots. They made it liquid so roses could take
it in quickly through their leaves as well as through
their roots. So Ortho Liquid Rose Food goes to
work fast, then lingers in the soil for lasting feed
ing. Result: you get bigger blooms and more of
them. Longer, stronger stems. Healthier foliage.
WHAT PRICE GLORIOUS BLOOMS?
Now before you rush down to the bank to with
draw your savings to buy this kit, listen to the
news. Ortho Liquid Rose Food and the Rose
Duster together in one box cost just '1.88. Ordi
narily, you'd pay 2.28.
You actually saoe 40
cents! So why notapply
that to the purchase of
an Ortho Lawn Spray
er if you don't already
have one? It's the
perfect way to apply
Ortho Liquid Rose
Food. It dilutes the
liquid to just the right
proportion as it sprays. And it gives you the per
fect spray for proper foliar feeding. F.xtra bonus:
it's guaranteed for four years.
So pin a rose on the gardener who visits his au
thorized Ortho dealer tomorrow and gets the best
roue deal going: the new Ortho rose kit going for
just 1. 88. Better hurry; he only has just so many.

In the worst cases, the pa
tient went into a sleepy slate
called hepatic (liver) coma.
Coma means a state of uncon
sciousness from which the
person cannot be wakened.
When death results from cirr
hosis of the liver, it occurs
either by bleeding from the
gullet, failure of the liver or
the kidneys to function, or
sometimes an infection such
as pneumonia.
Dry Mouth or Dry Eyes
When a person writes, tell
ing me that his mouth is al
ways dry, I usually cannot
guess the cause. If the trou
ble has been anoying him
since childhood, I suspect the
presence of some inherited de
fect in the salivary glands.
Sometimes the constantly dry
mouth is associated with dry
eyes, and is called Sjogren's
syndrome, a group of symp
toms described by a Swedish
eye specialist. Unfortunately,
the giving of a name to a dis
ease does not necessarily en
able us physicians to cure the
discomfort or even to relieve
it a bit.
Sjogren's syndrome is a pe
culiar disease that is usually
found in women who have had
the change of life, and it is
marked by a dryness of sev
eral mucous membranes; the
dryness is a result of a de
ficient secretion of the many
glands in these membranes.
The woman may complain
of a dryness of the mouth,
the nose, the tluoat, the eyes,
and the vagina, perhaps with
an enlargement of one of the
glands under the lower jaw
bone that produce saliva.
There may be dryness also in
the bronchi-tubes that lead
air into and out of the lungs
-and also in the sweat glands
in the skin, and perhaps even
in the glands in the stomach
that make the gastric juice.
Occasionally the person will
suffer also with signs of rheu
matoid arthritis-probably in
the hands and feet. Or there
is sometimes some trouble
with the kidneys.

Magazine Editor Accused of Keeping

Now let me say that I know

is. Collectively, they would in

Before this audience Stein

it is part or a conspiracy to
deprive women of careers, or,
as the saying goes, to keep
them "pregnant and barefoot."

dizzy or woozy spell, I suspect
a little injury to some nerve
center in the brain, such as
sometimes follows what 1 call
a "little stroke."
I am sorry to say that as
yet, we doctors know too lit
tle about Sjogren's syndrome.
1 do not know of any medi
cine that is likely to work a
cure. All I know is that some
of the sufferers from dry
mouth get help from chewing
gum or from keeping some
sort of troche dissolving often
in the mouth.
The sufferers from dry
eyes can ask their eye doctor
about using the so-called "
tificial tears" that can be
bought in a drugstore.

BUSINESS UPTUHM 28 MONTHS OLD
On Saturday, we begin the 28th month of the fourth
business upswing of post-World War 11-a statistic which car
ries major implications to the economic health of the Amer
ican economy, your profits and your paycheck. Specifically:
It means that this business advance already has decisively
beaten the average duration of all the peacetime cycles of
expansion in this country dating back to mid-19th century.
There have been 22 peacetime upswings since 1854. On
average, they have lasted 26 months. Had this upswing,
which began In February 1961, been only average, it would
have died two months ago. It is very much alive.
11 means that the 1961-? business upturn is a cinch to
match the average life-time of all peacetime cycles since
World War I.
There have been eight peacetime upturns since 1919.
On average, they have lasted 28 months. Were this one
average, it would be dying right now. It Is far from dying.
It means the J961-? business advance has reversed the
frightening pattern of ever-shortening upswings since World
War II.
The first postwar upturn was 45 months old when It
died in July 1953. The second was 35 months old when
it expired in July 1957. The third was 25 months old when
it faded Into recession in May, 1960. Had this cycle continued
this regressive pattern, our economy would have gone Into
a downturn this past winter. It did not.
It strongly luggeiti this business advance may beat
the average life of all upturns of the past 109 years
bolh the prolonged advances of war and the shorler-run
advances of peace.
The average life of the 28 upswings this country has ex
perienced since 1854 has been 30 months-a figure extended
by the fact that the advances during wars have been pro
longed, the duration of the Civil War expansion was 46
months; of the World War I expansion, 44 months; of the
World War II expansion, 80 months; of the Korean War
expansion, 45 months. If this business upturn lasts Into
August it will be 30 months old. There's every reason to
believe It will last into August.
Finally it indicates that the 1061-7 expansion could break
many more records of the past century-assuming Congress
votes tax reductions on a sufficient scale and in time to
accelerate business Investment and consumer spending in
late 1963-64.
On the basis of history the odds are only about one in
four that this economic advance will last through 1963.
It's a good bet lhat our economy will "win" against these
odds. On the basis of history the odds arc only one In 22
that this economic advance will last through 1964. So long
range a prediction would be foolhardy but if the tax re
ductions do the Job they're supposed to do, our economy
could "win" against those odds too.
This is much more than statistical gymnastics, of course.
The fact lhat we have pulled off the plateau of 1962 Into
a new upturn rather than retreated Into a slump is of the
upmost, importance to every one oi us. tven though unem
ployment remains high, we have lo dale avoided another
general recession.
Why has our economy come through so far7
Oue reason is that you and I have continued to spend
freely and have hiked our dollui spending as our Incomes
have risen. Our spending patterns arc of the most crucial
significance to our economy.
Another reason is lhat businessmen have been boost
ing their spending on plants and equipment since they
received incentives via liberalited depreciation rules and
the new lax credit in 1962. Business spending is alto a
crucial factor In our economy's performance.
A third reason is that government spending at all levels
federal, state and local-has continued to fuel the economy.
Whether or not you approve, the economic fact of life is
that when government put more money Into the business
stream than It takes out In taxes, it stimulates business.
We have not eliminated the business cycle. We probably
never will. But we're doing a better Job of controlling it
this lime than In many yeors-a pleasant report with which
to greet June 1963.
Such a bill oi particulars
was drawn up by Mrs. Bet
ty Frtedan in a new book
called "The Feminine Mys
tique.' And the author her
sen was on hand lo confront
Stein with the indictment,
far be it tor me to suggest
that the program was denucr
ately arranged to put Stem at
a disadvantage. I'm just giving
you the facts.
Stein was seated at the dais
as the lone male in the pha
lanx of matrons who hold high
positions in politics, the gov
ernment and other fields of
endeavor.
Patty Cavln, of NBC, presi
dent of the club, reported that
the speeches and the questions
to follow were expected to be
over by 2 p.m. So saying, she
introduced Mrs. Friedan.
If you like oratory that is, i
shall we say, "spirited," you I
would enjoy hearing Mrs.
Friedan's ringing plea for!
feminine liberty.
It was her contention that1
women's magazines are partly
responsible for keeping wom
en trapped In endless and
empty housewifery." i
A housewife is led to be-
lieve by magazine articles j
that the only answer lo her j
longing for fulfillment is j
"having another baby or j
dying her hair blonde," she
said.
Magazine fiction, site con
tinued, pictures the "happy
housewife heroine" locked in
a struggle with a villainous
career woman who is "trying
lo get her husband away or
keep her from breast-feeding."
"Even PTA chairmen have
become suspect," she said. By
the time Mrs. Friedan rested
her case it already was two
o'clock, the theoretical hour
of adjournment. Slein bravely
rose to present his rebuttal,
but it was plain to see that he
had been outflanked.
In a laler column I will un
dertake lo examine his ar
guments and sec how they
slack up against Mrs. Friedan.
Right now I've got to rush
home and unchain my wife.
