SELF-EXANEINATION OF THE BREASTS SHOULD SAVE MANY LIVES

A few years ago some physicians warned their women patients not '4: examine their breasts for cancer is it not only made them cancer :onscious but developed cancer- ohobia (fear of cancer). Also. if :ancer were present, examining it night cause it to spread.

I have written before of the three women. all patients of a noted surgeon. who on examining their areasts and feeling a lump believed ;hey had cancer but instead of zonsulting their physician and the surgeon, took an extended overseas noliday for several months because "hey did not want to interfere with he holiday their families had been alaniiing. On returning home and :onsulting physician and surgeon. t was found that the lumps were iot cancer but simple enlarged milk glands. Their whole trip had been spoiled because they believed they Jad caicer.

Today, because cancer of the Jreast. if discovered early. can be cured in the majority of cases by operation. physicians and surgeons advise women to examine their breasts and if they feel a lump or the nipple is tilted or changed in my way, to consult their physician at once.

Self-examination of the breasts should be done when woman in In

Today brought the digging to this place "in the road" from Al- derlea-brought family and work- ers together, Jeanie and all. even to the shaggy black dog. At sight of the activity of commencement. echoes of our younger years when we grew substantial acreage of potatoes returned to mind. And we caught again the excitement and charm of the occasion.

Names and faces of helpers of those years came back to us. the older ones, gone now. or retired to less active callings; the young- sters we saw grow up and go away to lives of their own-those happy boys and girls with merry laugh and jest. and quick hands to gath- er the tubers to basket. "I haven't quite decided what I'll be when I'm a man," a freckle-faced lad in his early teens confided one day as we picked beside him chatting the while.

"Ellen," James has us, "if you could remember that we have a day's work to do. you it back with your laughing and talking!" But how else should we have gathered nice memories of those days? And besides. workzimz happily together. the task and made the days give very good account of themselves in turn.

And who do you suppose it will carry? Just me and my chauffeur." His blue eyes gllnted and he laughed through his freckles. "And when we come to the end of the lane there" he nodded.

For Tomorrow

A HOLDOVER from yesterday's spectacular auguries may find a peculiar blocking or a cloud to hold up such sensational denouement. some unforeseen delay or queer entanglement might postpone the immediate fulfillment of this wind- fall, perhaps for the normal for- malities lncident to securing or taking over the surprise fortune. Legalities may be needful steps for validating the "legacy." or old peo- ple may offer some opposition or want of co-operation. Placate them.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may find their affairs held up by the intervention of elders or perhaps old established institutions. And while attempts may be made to break wills, or arrest the smooth running of recent gifts. windfalls or inherilances. it may be desirable to keep all disbursements and al- locations under rigid legalities and procedures that may not be con- tested or controverted. safeguard against curious tactics or collusion.

DEAR MISS DIX: My weekly in k ti l d i . ket of our small town. If I am sta:trinegI(I:i'it.witohMaIIi'1:t:lr?m:IIliIt of money, I have a habit of marking each price on the package so I can keep account of how much I am spending. A few weeks ago I did thll. and the manasei-hung over the railing as I went through :11: clheclklnlg line. A friend accompanying me said this was un lmun

ll 3 0" dnt 10 back However. I wanted the manager to know I was innocent of any cheating, and I continued to patronize the store. At one time. the cashier leaned over to look in my pocketbook I realized then it was time to change my market: Later. at is nearby store, the manager came up and watched the checker go over the purchases. It hap- pened again in still another store. '

I have never had the slightest suspicion cast on my honesty-, and I deeply resent the doubts that seem to exist in the minds of these various store

employees. I'd be willing to do anything to clear my name:

DISTRESSED

ANSWER: I cannot possibly imagine how such

a state of affairs could have been brought about. Being a frequent shopper in super-markets myself, and as I also keep track of purchases. I know that the practice is approved by checkers rather than disapproved. It is a source of considerable annoyance to them for a purchaser to buy more than she can pay for, then have to have the entire order rearranged and rechecked while a long line of impatient customers awaits attention. Furthermore, every item in a large store is price-marked so clearly that there is no possibility of either you or the checker being intentionally dishonest. There must be some other reason for the managers' actions in your case-and, personally. I think you are probably the victim of an over-scrupulous conscience.

The best way to clear up the matter to your satisfaction is to see the first manager. ask him exactly why he acted as he did and if his explanation leaves any doubt in your mind, see the managers of the other markets, too.

Store employees are pretty good judges of character. and unless one's actions are definitely suspicious, they go about their appointed tasks with no doubts as to a person's honesty. I'm sure a frank dis- cussion with the people who are worrying you will convince you of their good intentions.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am very much in love with a man of 28. ten years older than I am. We have never been on a date together, though I see him quite often. The trouble is he is a Iadies' man. How can I get him over that? Don't tell me to forget him because I have tried and can't.

P. A.

ANSWER: You will probably have no choice as far as forgetting the man is concerned. Apparently he is simply interested in adding you to his collection of ladies and has no intention of becoming serious about you. Why waste your time and love. on someone who is so com- pletely unavailable? All you are doing is building a day dream out of nothing. A more wasteful procedure is impossible. Stop it!

DEAR MISS DIX: I have .a boy friend whose father owns a truck. When my friend gets the truck he doesn't come to see me. I like him a lot, and he likes me, but he will not keep a date if he has a chance to drive the truck.

3. J. L.

ANSWER: Girls compete with many things for the affection: of an adolescent male. You have come up against some of the stiffest competition there ls-anything on wheels that has a motor. From a scooter to a plane. teen-age boys will put the machine before a girl in most cases. As ynur friend grows older, the truck will lose much of its appeal, and you'll have your chance for first place.
