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

He's never raised the subject.

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

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

drug krebiozen in Chicago
earlier this year. The public

Ken ncdy Tuesday renewed
his request for Congress to
puss his tax reduction pro
gram as quickly as possible.
But Democratic congressional
leaders balked at saying
whether taxes or civil rights
now nolds No. 1 legislative
priority in the administration
Speaker John W. McCor

iconics out ol committee first.
I But In reply to newsmen
: who asked whether tax cuts
or civil rights was the top

jsald, "A specific answer would
; confuse the situation." Mc-

President's weekly conference
with Democratic congression
al leaders.
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."
