Iona V. - He never asks about sex so why should I bring it up? - Margery O. - I've noticed he seems very scared of dis pleasing you. ' Iona V. - I'd like to settle a difference of opinion with my sister-in-law. She's one of those deep-think gals, full of bright ideas which I usually laugh off. This time though I d like another opinion. We have a 6-year-old son and she tells me to sit down and tell him all about where babies come from, especially since I'm having my second in Septem ber. But he couldn't care less. He's never raised the subject. i i i Margery O. - How can Iona be so blind? Her little boy ,is a bright child. Any normal kid must wonder about how babies are born, and about the sex differences. So why wait for him to ask? Tom probably never will - he strikes me as a very repressed child. He's always waiting for permission whether It's to talk or jump or play, Iona should use this easy way to explain things, just letting Tom follow her pregnancy. quent question, "When shall I tell my child the facts of life?", the wisest answer we have heard is, "There's no when and there's no telling, really. The child absorbs im pressions and attitudes con stantly. All a parent can add are the fill-in facts." , , .By age 6, most children have asked sex questions, if not of their parents, then of some one else. If correctly handled, at home that is, with matter. of-fact calmness, the gate is left open for the discussion of further puzzles. The Infor mation is stashed away as part of a growing body of knowledge. But if scoldings or lies or wait- n -see evas ions greet the topic, the child becomes like Tom who "never asks" (not his mother any way) By all means, Iona, let Tom chart the birth cycle and you supply the sound track. Raymondville, Tex. - d'PD Diane Llndstrom, a pretty honey-haired girl of 18 from Rockford, 111., is playing a prayerful waiting game with cancer. It is a matter of life and death and she knows it. Diane is under the care of a medical non-conformist she hopes may have a cure for a ballooning tumor on her right thigh. Her doctor, Isaac Newton Frost of Raymond ville, has an urgency of his own. Having practiced medicine 60 years, lie is past his 82nd birthday. He would like to have his vaccine treatment of cancer and other diseases get the recognition he feels it de serves before he dies. The American Medical association does not recognize him or his treatment. Treated With Krebioien It is Diane's second time to flout medical tradition. She had several weeks of treat ment with the controversial drug krebiozen in Chicago earlier this year.

Methodist Board Ruled Tax-Exempt Salem - 1PI - Oregon Tax Court Judge Peter Gunnar ruled Tuesday that the Board of Publication of the Meth odist Church is a tax-exempt religious corporation under the Oregon corporate excise tax law. The ruling reverses a State Tax Commission decision which held that the organiza tion was subject to taxation The Board of Publication of the Methodist Church is a not-for-profit corporation op erated by the Methodist Church as a printing, publish ing and book selling concern. The Tax Commission held the organization should not be exempt because It com petes with private enterprise sode led her to Texas and Dr.' Frost. While she was interviewed at a hotel near the Frost clin ic, Diane rubbed her thigh, outlining the growth on it. Her red shorts left uncovered the swollen cancerous area, which looks like a giant bruise. Felt Pain In Knee Diane is tiie daughter of Mr. and Milton Lindstrom of Rockford. Her father is an accountant. She has a 21-year-old sister, Joan, who was graduated this month from Augustana college at Rock Is land, 111. Mrs. Lindstrom has been staying with Diane.' She "left her briefly in the care of an aunt, Mrs. Harold Deimerly of Rockford, while she went back to Illinois for Joan's graduation. . . Last October, just after starting her senior year in high school, Diane began to feci a pain in her right knee. She recalled that she had "trouble walking upstairs." But she was not particularly alarmed. She went to see the family doctor. He made X-rays but they failed to turn up any thing. January came and the pain grew more persistent. New X-rays indicated a, tu mor. Tests confirmed' that it was malignant. Her doctor told, her parents to have the leg amputated But Diane left the hospital Feb. 16 without an operation. "Actually, the outlook was not too bright with surgery," she said. Her parents learned about a doctor in Chicago who treat ed cancer with krebiozen, a drug the AMA considers worthless. The doctor admin istered the drug to Diane for four weeks. She then went ' home and returned to Chicago three times a week for out-patient treatment. - The last X-rays she had in Chicago showed the tumor had broken open, Diane said. Her case revived interest in the 12-year-old krebiozen con troversy. A stranger in Montana read about her case and wrote her father to suggest Dr. Frost's treatment. Her father quickly booked a jet flight to Texas but a friend offered the fam ily the use of a private plane and they used it instead. "I have felt better since I have been here," she said. Uses Crutches Diane walks with crutches and makes a two-block trip daily in a wheel chair from her hotel to the Frost clinic. He gives her a micro-organism vaccine treatment by in jection and by inhalation. Each treatment lasts about an hour. She arrived in Raymond ville May 6. Dr. Frost pre scribed three months of his vaccine. Before Diane became sick, she wanted to be a physical education teacher. She has de cided now to wait and see what happens before she se lects a career. Diane had to squit school in February and missed graduat ing with her class. But she said that when she was in school she made the honor roll and belonged to the girli athletic club. She likes to swim, bowl and ride horseback, none of which she can do now. She spends much of her time sit ting in the sun by the hotel swimming pool, and visiting with guests and townspeople who have heard about her. Diane attends services at Zion Lutheran Church in Ray mondville. She believes she has the same values she had before she contracted cancer. She prays, rests and hopes she will get well. "I believe he (Dr. Frost) is helping me," she said. "Actu ally, I have to believe it. He didn't promise he could cure me, but he thinks he can." laKP - fr : '; . l, ( ---" , J 'J ;. rr j JL J : 1 1 f; J , ri l 1 7'f ft i ml rV ' fervrr.,.&mit, wc" 1 M . I i (.;; -v- .
