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.
An attendance of more than
100 members is expected at the
meeting, the first state conven
tion of the Council to be held
outside the Portland area, Mrs.
Skenzick said.
Establishment of a rehabilita
tion center for the blind in
Mcdford will be discussed at the
convention by Clyde Richard
son. James Kays of Eugene will
give a report on the Lions
club sight conservation program
and two Eugene Teachers will
I talk about teaching blind slu
' dents in the Eugene-Springfield
j public school system.
Walter R. Dry, former super
I intendent of the Oregon State
: School for the Blind, will be the
. featured speaker at the Satur
! day night banquet. Dry won na-
tional acclaim during his 25
j years of service as the blind

DROUGHT TO CONTINUE
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Weather Bureau says the dry
spell will continue along the
Eastern Seaboard but the cen
tral United States should get
some drought relief.
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
