Piychic Injuries
Produced By Deformity
As I keep saying in this
column, I am always distress
ed when, as commonly hap
pens, I get a
letter from
some young
person, oft e n
a teen age
girl, who says
that she has a
marked de
formity, per
haps on her
lace, w 11 1 c tt
Alvarez makes her
cringe every time she has to
meet someone, and which
causes her great unhappiness
and untold mental suffering.
What saddens me particu
larly is that so often the girl
says that her parents have no
sympathy with her desire to
nave the defect corrected;
they do not seem to realize
how much she suffers. Some,
of course, are against an oper
ation because they haven't
much money; and a few are
against changing the defect be
cause "God made it that way."
I wish all such parents
could read a letter I have here
on my desk - a grateful let
ter written by a girl to the
plastic surgeon who rebuilt
her ugly nose and brought for
ward a depressed upper lip.
This poor girl was so homely
that for years she could hard
ly bear to go out among peo
ple. Today, her picture shows
a pretty girl with a nice-looking
nose and an upper lip
which is out where it be
longs. She wrote, "My dear Doc
tor: Although I know how
familiar you are with the
mental twists of a person with
a defective face, and I know
I am only one of thousands
who created in her imagina
tion a magnified, frightful pic
ture of people who seemed to
keep turning around to look
at her and to ridicule her. I
must now write you a letter
of heart felt thanks.
Warped Personality
"All of the many hurls left
over from my childhood, cre
ated a warped and very un
happy personality. The ado
lescent with a deformity may
seem to be normal, but she
has deep clefts beneath her
scars which will constantly
influence her way of think
ing. "All this you know; never
theless, I feel the urge now
In slinnt in the world that I
used to be bitter; I used to
hate everyone. Now, as tne
surgical wounds in my face
are healing, the deeper
wounds in my mind are also
healing. No longer will i De
afraiH In hnarri a bus Or to
walk down a crowded city
street. At last, I am a normal
person. No one will stare un
nlpasantlv at me. And now,
at last, I can hope that some
man will love me; and l am
so capable of loving, and so
desirous of love.
"Likp a Dlant. I feel a fresh
bud bursting within me; I
havo hppnmp real, and li'ue
to myself. The autumn leaves
which you have helped me to
ehoH havp made way for
clean good shoots. They were
always inside me but were
kept hidden beneath a mass
nf lies ahout DeoDle - lies
which I had come to believe
so fully that to me they ap
peared real. I want you to
know now that you have re
stored a soul. I will be thank
ing you all my life."
Man May Have To
Choose Between
Trees and Fish
Washington - lUPn - A Wash
ington state forester suggest
ed Wednesday that man may
have to choose between saving
trees or fish in his battle
against insects.
The difficult choice was of
fered by Don Lee Fraser, su
pervisor of the Washington
Department of Natural Re
sources, during testimony be
f 0 r e a Senate Government
Operations subcommittee.
Fraser expressed fear that
an "anti-pesticide" movement
would hinder efforts to pro
tect the nation's forest re
sources from insects.
The subcommittee which is
holding hearings on the con
trol of pesticides and other
chemicals in view of fears
that the balance of nature is
being upset by their use.
Dr. Emil M. Mrak, chan
cellor of the Davis campus of
the University of California,
told the subcommittee that
pesticides were needed to halt
crop losses of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to insects. At
the same time, he said, care
ful controls were needed to
prevent injury to man and
other forms of life.
Bank Robbery Charge
Faces Missouri Man
Portland - UP1 - Gerald Lee
Mudd, 24, of Monroe City,
Mo., is to be removed to St.
Louis Mo., as the result of
court action Wednesday. He
will face charges of robbing
a Madison, Mo., banK.
Mudd walked into the Lane
county sheriff's office last Fri
day and surrendered. He said
he was broke and tired of
running.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 23. 1963
Thornton Ruling
Asked on Cutbacks
Salem - IDPU - Gov. Mark
Hatfield Thursday asked Atty.
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton to
rule whether the executive
department could order cut
backs in the basic school sup
port. In a rare move by the Re
publican governor, the Demo
cratic attorney general was
asked if the executive depart
ment could exercise the same
allotment control over the
basic school fund that it can
exercise over other budgets
and allotments.
The answer could hold the
key to whether Hatfield would
call a special legislative ses
sion if the 1963 legislature's
$60 million tax increase meas
ure is rejected at the Oct. 15
special election.
Loren Hicks, Hatfield's
legal counsel, said the school
fund totaled about $150 mil
lion of the state's $404 million
general fund budget.
Council Turns Down
Apartment Request
Portland - IUPI. - Portland's
city council succumbed to
pleas of several hundred Port
land residents Wednesday and
unanimously denied a zone
change that would have al
lowed construction of a high
rise apartment house in south
west Portland.
The vote came after five
hours of speeches by propon
e n t s and opponents of the
building.
About 250 indignant Port
landers claimed their
view of the city and Mt. Hood
from the southwest heights
would be blocked.

Man's Major Problem:
A 3
Poor Sam Wat Humiliated
After Causing An Accident
He was a 2-year-old chim
panzee by the name of Sam.
He was exceptionally good at
what he was expected to do,
which was to entertain people
coming into the office of the
tourist attraction. He had the
run of the office and was
never tied or restrained in
any way. Never once did he
attempt to leave by the front
door, or return to his cage in
the compound until taken
there at the end of the busi
nes day when the attraction
was closed for the night.
During the months he was
the office boy, making a host
of friends. It was a pretty
staid person that failed to re
spond to Sam's charm and
friendliness within the first
five minutes of acquaintance
ship. Being a natural born
cutup, he was a riot with the
children. Many folks spent
more time with Sam than they
did out in the compound
where dozens of animals of
various kinds peered from
cages or tugged at the ends of
chains.
Sam's Domain
The office was Sam's do
main and he made the most of
it. There were stacks of
travel folders, sea shell nov
elties, marine curios, leather
belts, hammered silver brace
lets, earrings and hundreds
of other objects typical of
gift shops everywhere.
Sam, contrary to animal
nature, preferred to walk up
right instead of on all fours.
He enjoyed walking with vis
itors from one showcase to
another, all the time holding
firmly to one of their hands.
He was careful in his selec
tion of preferred folks; with
uncanny accuracy he selected
those folks that enjoyed his
company. Given a little atten
tion he went all out to please.
In many ways he seemed more
human-like than animal-like.
Favorite of Force
Naturally he was the favor
ite of the office force, they
made over him all the time,
bringing him good things to
eat, and patting the partly
bald head every time he came
near. He was particularly fond
of the young lady that punch
ed the cash register. He spent
hours watching her forcefully
depress the lettered and num
bered buttons on the register.
He became so enthusiastic
when the bell rang he would
clap his hands and look at the
girl with pleading eyes to re
peat the pleasant noise.
For Sam's convenience, a
tall stool was placed along
side his friend at the cash reg
ister. He sat there, with his
legs crossed, like a little old
man, and came pretty close to
grinning at the folks paying
their admission to tne attrac
tion. Regardless of how many
people passed, or how many
kind words they spoke to him,
he repeatedly looked up into
his girl friend's face, with
adoring eyes.
The Accident
He was on the stool one day
when the great humiliation
was heaped upon him. What
hurt more was that his friend
was the one that humbled
him. A sales tax was always
collected. This was kept in a
glass jar alongside the cash
register. Sam accidentally hit
it. It fell and crashed on the
floor, pennies rolled all over
the place. Exasperated, his
friend grabbed him and pad
dled him good. He scampered
to the far side of the office,
his head in a corner and
sulked.
Some time later the cashier
fell a gentle tug on her skirt.
She lokcd down into a pair of
sad, brown eyes. Sam had his
other hand full of pennies. The
girl's eyes were a little misty
as she took the pennies. "I
wonder little friend, just how
much you really do know?"
she asked. Sam didn't answer
-slowly and humbly he went
about the gathering of the
coins.
How To Do Away With Insects and
Not Offend 'Silent Spring' Author
By DICK WEST
United Presi International
Washington -ll!Pll-One of the
major tasks confronting man
kind is finding a means of do
ing away with
insects with
out upsetting
Rachel Carson.
In her book
'Silent Spring'
Miss Carson
put her foot
down regard
ing the use of
chemical pes
ticides. This
brought forth suggestions that
she should try putting her
foot down on a few bugs.
11 was generally agreed,
however, that her point about
pesticides upseting the bal
ance of nature was well tak
en. As one who has been feel
ing a lille unbalanced myself,
I am pleased to observe that
Miss Carson's message has be
gun to make itself felt.
New Laboratory
At Gainesville, Fla., this
West
week, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture is dedicating a
new insect research labora
tory to the pursuit of better
methods of controlling pests.
Among other things, the lab
will study various biological
measures, such as Insect birth
control.
I don't have the program
for the dedication ceremony,
but I think it would be appro
priate if they invited Miss
Carson to throw out the first
cockroach, or something like
that.
In addition to this project, a
team of department scientists
at Bcltsville, Md., has started
a search for new physical
methods of controlling four
types of flies.
Other Good Newi
They are investigating the
merits of light rays, sound
waves, air currents and geo
metric patterns as weapons
against these pests. Appar
ently they have concluded
that the fly swatter is obso
lete.
No results from Bellsville
are expected for a long time
yet, but there is good news
from the Agriculture Re
search Service at Corvallis,
vjre.
Scientists there have dis
covered that female houseflies
apparently use some sort of
perfume to attract male flies.
Proof of the role that scent
plays in the romance of a
housefly was obtained with a
device called an olfactometer.
The scientists put some mala
flies in one chamber and then
put some females in another
chamber where the fellows
couldn't see them.
Despite the absence of sight
or sound to lure them, a sig
nificant number of the males
wound up in the chamber
with the females. It is as
sumed, therefore, that the per
fume got 'em.
According to the Agricul
ture Department, the Corval
lis experiment holds promise
of developing into something
big in the way of fly control.
I would not care to speculate
just how.
TO MARCH
Portland-IUPll-A busload of
freedom marchers from the
Portland area will leave Sun
day for Washington, D. C. to
take part in the Civil Rights
march Aug. 28, Mayfield K.
Webb, president of the Na
tional Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People in Portland said Thurs-
Iday.
