m THE DOCTOR SAYS Acceptance Eases Menopause Woes By W. G. BRANDSTADT. M.D, Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. All life is change, but the change of life that occurs in most: women in their middle 40s is a special kind of change. It is char acterized by a gradual cessation of the function of the ovaries. As a result, there is a lengthen ing of the time between men strual periods and a shorten ing of duration of periods. Aside from that, many wom en have no symptoms. Others may have intermittent hot flush es involving the head, neck, and chest, with or without profuse sweating. I am frequently asked how long these spells continue, and can only say that every woman is a law unto herself. In some, they disappear In two or three years, while in others they per sist into the Jate 60s. Such other symptoms as head' ache,- dizziness, fatigue, joint1 pains, Irritability, and nervous! tension are not due to the meno pause. In some they may be a natural part of aging, but the, cause should be sought. When found, it should be treated. Many a woman who has shrugged off one or more of these symptoms! as due to the menopause has cheated herself of relief. I am often asked, "When, In the menopausal period, does the possibility of childboaring actual ly end?" Tills is very hard to determine. There arc occasional freakish exceptions to the usual rule that, when menstruation ceases completely, chtldbearingl Is no longer possible. In most women in whom meno pausal symptoms are fairly mild, a sedative and sympathetic reas surance by her doctor after a thorough examination is all the treatment required. A few worn' cr. whose symptoms are extreme' ly unpleasant may require some replacement of the female hor- mones for a while. This form of treatment should he given only if symptoms com plained of are definitely due to ovarian deficiency, and should not be given until menstruation has stopiwd completely. Further mure, it should not be given to any woman who has uterine fl broids or endometriosis, al though in such a woman male hor mone may be beneficial. Treatment with female hor mones should nut lie continued indefinitely. This only postpones the inevitable adjustment the body must make, and prolongs duration of unpleasant symptoms Although course of the meno pause is fairly smooth in most women, the symptoms are likely to be more troublesome when the ovarian function is interrupted suddenly, as in those women who have both ovaries removed usual ly at the time the uterus is taken out. Such women definitely need a period of treatment with female hormones. tt is most Important to accept calmly change of life. Most worn en can achieve a greater serenity after the menopause than they have ever known. Just because the body is aging is no reason not to stay young in heart. PAGE HERALD AND NEWS.

The location of the underground Iieadquarters was disclosed in a crudely-printed pamphlet dis tributed during the Aldermaston march by a group calling itself Spies for Peace. The pamphlets said the location was one of 12 top secret bomb proof centers which would house government of 1 ices in event ol a nuclear attack. The government has admitted that the pamphlet contained con siderable accurate secret informa tion and ordered anyone possess ing a copy to send it to Scotland Yard.

Germany, mean while a group of British ban-the- bomb demonstrators carrying out a sitdown strike aboard a char tered airliner grounded the plane for the second day by refusing to fasten their seatbelts. Under inter national air regulations, planes cannot take off until passengers fasten the safety belts. In the demonstration in Eng land, police buses and black ma rias waited in a nearby clearing The 272-foot dome of the capitol in Harrisburg, Pa., was patterned after St. Peter's in Rome, ac cording to Encyclopedia Britan-nica. las lines of police halted the demon stralors when they tried to climb onto a boilerhouse. One demonstrator dashed for what appeared fo be an entrance but was stopped by a police in spector. Three policemen carried the man away after a scuffle. As demonstrators chanted "no bases, no bombs," police brought dogs to guard some of the build ings. Others guarded a section of the building that looked as if it was near a tunnel. After further scuffles and the arrival of a new contingent of 30 police reinforcements, the demon strators rejoined the Aldermaston march. Jeering demonstrators lined the road shouting abuse at the police, as they marched through. ! A girl from the ban-the-bomb committee of 100, wearing blue jeans and a duffle coat and with' her eyes smeared with blue eyei shadow, told newsmen: ' Everything has gone like clock work. This is just a politicians game. The Kussians Know we have got it. Everyone knows we have got it."
