Tattoo Craze ' Hos Drawbacks
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellcn l A Skokle. Illinois. reader erI- es: "My son. a young navy re- 1 cruit. has three tattoos on his' arms. He regrets having this l done and wants them removed. Is this possible and what is the I procedure?" ‘ This is a familiar story among young men who leave . home for a tour of duty in the l armed services. Tattooing has‘ many drawbacks and these boys . should know the facts. In the ’ first place. women object to tal- toos. Mother is horrified when l her “little boy" returns from his ‘ wanderlng with a ship on his . chest or Daisy on his arm. The ‘ situation is even more embar- rassing when he marries a Mar- ‘
ion or a Pearl.
Tattooing .is a mechanical pro- ‘ cess by which coloring matter is . Inserted beneath the skin by means of needles and pointed in- struments. Most tattoo artists use a reasonable amount of ; cleanliness and antisepsis. But I there Is no guarantee this will be , done. Old-timers used to wet the l needle with the lips and. if they j had syphilis. passed the disease on to the customer.
The third objection is that it . costs much more to get the de- sign taken off than to have it. put on. There are various means of eradication but all are expen- sive. i
The skin containing the adorn- ment can be removed surgically ~ or destroyed electrically. chem- ically. or mechanically. Surgery Is best when the tattoo is small and on loose skin. A small datz- ger on an arm. for example. is l
I l
easily eradicated, whereas a ship on the chest is more diffi- ‘ cult. Skin planing. the technique used to eradicate acne scars. is another method. The skin is froz- . on and the surface is smoothed with an electrically driven steel ‘

A NATO Experiment
y Harold Morrison Canadian Press Staff Writer
Early in June. sailors from a
number of North Atlantic coun- ‘
tries will begin an experiment in community relations that may have a profound impact on the. future of the North Atlantic
' 5‘ . alliance.
The answer these sailors will ‘ provide will determine whether men from differan countries. speaking different languages and molded under different cul- tures can “or a cohesive team in close quarters for theI common purpose of joint de- nce.
The sailors. drawn from Brit- ain. Italy. West Gcmmny. The Netherlands. Turkey.

and the U.S.. will be piit aboard .

This will be th first experi-
mental stage of a proposal that .

The object of the proposal was clearly one of attempting to quleten grumblings within the alliance Europe had n voice in the American nuclear deterrent force which. In effect, was the deterrent force for Eu- rope as well. The proposal also

“The original part of house is almost exactly as it was on that bright Septem'mr day in 1826 when he died— the window of the little room open so that he could hear the sound of his beloved Tweed.
“His huge library stands III the original bookshelves. thou;li now carefully catalogued.
"His collection of armour-y hangs about the walls. and' the pictures of his ancestors on the walls of the dining room show how markedly his strong featur. es were haired from his lelt‘l‘s- tors."
The little galleried and book- Iined study where the man who had such an immense influence on the Romantic Movement did his daily early morning writing stint. is a room of particular in- terest to visitors.
