OREGON DICK WEST Plastic Surgeons Sensitive People Council of Blind Plans Convention I'nilrd Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) A lot of people have the wrong idea about plastic surgery, including possibly a few plastic surgeons. Many of our misconceptions stem from watching old movies on the late late show. We tend to think of plastic surgery in terms of a middle aged actress hocking her jewels to have her wrinkles removed, or of an arch criminal getting his features renovated in an empty warehouse by a brilliant but deranged surgeon who has lost his medical license and bears a grudge against the world at large. Sensitive Surgeons The Third International Con gress of Plastic Surgery is being held here this week and when I dropped by to see what was going on I found that members of the profession are rather sensitive about their public image. I asked an official of the Con gress to fill me in on new de velopments in Ihe field of cos metic surgery. He quickly pointed out that cases of that sort represent only about 25 per cent of a plastic surgeon's work. And he was caul ions about discussing that for fear it might create an impression that some plastic surgeons were function ing more or less as high class beauticians. But after pledging me to forego sensationalism, he did acknowledge that more and more Americans are taking ad vantage of modern surgical techniques for improving on nature. i The most frequent operation of the cosmetic type is the re l arranging of noses. After that comes the correction of pro truding ears, sagging cheeks and chins, and baggy eyelids. Revision Of Bosom A relative newcomer, but be coming increasingly popular, is the revision of proportions and contours of the female bosom. The official who gave me this information said the average layman has been lead to be lieve that any type of plastic surgery is likely to cost a small fortune. Actually, he said, the fees are comparable to those of other tvnes of sureerv. A tvni- 1 cal nose job, for example, ; would run between $400 and $500. However, cosmetic surgery is usually outside the scope of medical insurance and is not the type of item that can be easily listed on an expense ac count. I inquired whether the day might eventually arrive when plastic surgery would be simpli fied to the point where milady would change her face as often as she changes hair color. The official replied that most people will have to go on wear ing the same old faces for the rest of their lives. The ninth annual state con vention of the Oregon Council of the Blind will be held Satur day and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20, in Eugene, Mrs. Dorothy Skcnzick, council president, has announced.

DELEGATE APPEARS One unidentified delegate showed by at a San Mateo. Calif., motel but he went away disappointed. Motel manager Frank Dcnnison posted the sign as a joke, and what started out as a slow week end turned out to be a busy one. "The sign isn't wholly misleading," Dcnnison said. "If nudists want to stop and convene, they can." (UPI) his "Oregon Plan" enabled blind grade school and high school students to attend their home town schools and grow up in their own local communities. A large number of states are now reported using the Oregon 3,789 Use Jackson Pool in October About 3,789 persons used Jackson swimming pool during the first 12 days in October, according to a report released by Mcdford Park and Recrea tion Director Robert L.
