MEDFORD, OREGON The Medical Roundup By Emeritus Consultant !n Medicine Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor or Medicine Mayo Clinic CRe Bister and Tribune Syndicate, 9fi3). FT m Thousands of Girls Must Die Muriel Davidson, in a paper in the Ladies' Home Journal (for November, 1963) says that in this next year more than a million girls and women with unwanted pregnancies will risk their lives by asking an ignor ant amateur to perform an abortion. As Miss Davidson points out, there are two main types of abortionists: one, a graduate physician, who will perform a curetment (scraping of the contents out of the womb) an operation which, with proper precautions, is not dangerous. Certainly the doc tor should have sense enough not to push the curet through the wall of the womb; only a very clumsy operator will do that. It is the perforation of the womb that causes many of the deaths that follow an abortion. In every city of any size there are abortionists of the gradu ate medical type. Nurses of Sorts Two: There are the many amateurs, all without such medical knowledge as will en able them to perform an abor tion without injuring or infect ing or killing the poor girl or woman. As Miss Davidson says, many of these amateurs are nurses of sorts, while others can be anything. Some of these people stick a catheter (rub ber or plastic tube) into the womb, while others inject into the womb some powerful poi son. As a result, in every big city of this land, hundreds of girls and women come into hospitals in a very serious con ditionthe result of a crude ef fort of some amateur to pro duce an abortion. Some of these would-be abortionists try to teach the girl to abort herself which is next to impossible. Some give strong drugs by mouth, which commonly (ail to work. Many of the girls, who after an abortion eel infected and nearly die, are left sterile for life. Later, when they marry and want a child, they cannot conceive. Many Are Married Although a high percentage of the eirls and women who go for an abortion are single, there are hundreds of thousands who are married. In 1960, in the United States, 224,000 babies were born out of wedlock. Many more such were born, but the birth was not reported or re corded correctly. What should be done? Unfortunately, it may well be a hundred years before anything logical is done any thing that would really save the health and lives of thousands of our girls. We human beings have too great a tendency to make a law that is supposed to put an end to some practice, and then to close our eyes lightly to the fact that our law has had only a bad effect. We brush the whole thing under the rug.

(UPI) - Sal vage operations were to begin today on the freighter C Trader which was aground in tne Co lumbia River six miles west of here. An evaluation was made Sun day to see how much work would be needed before at tempts could be made to refloat the 256-foot vessel. The ship, which had taken on a cargo of lumber at Raymond, Wash., was en route to Los An geles Friday night when it lost its steering and electric power and began sinking. It was taken under tow by the Coast Guard cutter Mallow near Willapa Bay, Wash., and the tow was trans ferred to the commercial sal vage vessel Salvage Chief north of here early Saturday. The ship reached the mouth of the Columbia about 8 a.m. Saturday and proceeded across the bar. She continued to settle in the water and then ran aground in the harbor inside the bar. Tugs pulled the freighter further up onto the sand so that salvage operations could be per formed. Preventive Health Fund Lack Rapped TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1063 PORTLAND (UPI) -Dr. For rest E.

"We can't spend money for our state health needs if the federal government has all the tax dollars," he told the annual conference of Oregon health of ficers and sanitarians here. Dr. Rieke said, "There is onlv so much money available as health dollars and these could be better spent if the public would wake up and realize where their health money is going." He criticized much federal money spent for Veterans hos pitals as a "duplication of health services," and said Fed eral Hill-Burton funds were be ing used to build unnecessary community hospitals in some areas. "Preventive medicine is being neglected and under-financed in Oregon as elsewhere in the country," he said. "We are building big monuments such as hospitals, instead of preventing disease."
