Correcting Deformities of Ear

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. RECONSTRUCTION of the outer or external ear Is one of the most challenging problems a plastic surgeon has to undertake. The outer ear, or auricle, is one of the most graceful structures of the human body, and one that Is very noticeable. This gives it a psychological and cosmetic importance in addition to the part it plays in bearing. Least Important Medically Medically, this portion of the ear is least important as far as hearing is concerned. Os course, if the external ear is entirely missing, the hearing is definitely impaired to some degree. Some children are born with only fragments of an ear, or no external ears at all. Sometimes after severe Injuries, the outer ear may be destroyed. This is very frequent during wartime. On the other side of the fence, many children and grownups have what appears to be too much ear—commonly known as “lop" ears. The ears do not lie back normally, but stick out like airplane wings. These ears are not really oversize, but merely have cartilages that are not formed properly. Psychological Trouble .. Children with “lop” ears many times develop a great deal of psychological trouble as a result of teasing by their playmates. The operation tor correction of

A lone one-horse dray which operated here for a few years passed out of existence recently and chances are that anyone who engages in this line of* work will equip himself with j a motor vehicle. The days of Old Dobbin as a beast of burden are done, for motor vehicles are more adapted to present day demands in the hauling and trucking business. Unless a horse can be properly cared for, the animal should not be subjected to undue hardships. Iff horses are used to relieve man's burden, healthy, strong animals should be employed. The farm is the best home for a faithful steed. —- Gen. Omar Bradley, one of America's leading generals and a ’ courageous soldier, Will join the guided missile division of the Bufova Research and Development Laboratories next month when he retires as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Geri. Bradley is a trained soldier, with an illustrious career on the battlefield, as welL as in executive command. His services with the Bulova Company should prove helpful to the country and give him further opportunity to put his talents to work. The country wishes him success in his civilian position and leadership in the guided missile field. . 0 o—— A federal judg6 had ruled that social security taxes assessed against self-employed persons are constitutional and that they must be paid, ot the individual go to jail. The decision was in a suit against a woman newspaper publisher in Mississippi, .who refused to pay her tax. She declares she Will appeal her causes to the supreme court.] The federal - court held that the social-security act does not undertake to regulate business but is a revenue statute to raise funds with which to perform a governmental function. The judge also explained,’“lt is now well settled that providing a method to support thfe aged is a duty of government and is national in scope”. If the woman's appeal gets to the high court, we .doubt if the nine justices ru4e contrary to the lower court’s decision.

"lop” ears is fairly easy. Certain parts of the cartilage are thinned down and remolded much as clay is molded, so the ears bend back and give the normal appearance. Quite different and far more difficult is the operation to reconstruct an absent or deformed ear. The difficulty in reconstructing an ear is to obtain enough cartilage to do this particular operation. There are now cartilage banks, as there are bone and blood banks, to supply this vital substance. Rib Cartilage Used In most cases, however, the graft does not take unless the cartilage comes from the person who is to hpve the ear reconstruction. Cartilage is usually taken from the patient’s own ribs. i Many surgeons are even employing medical artists to help them carve and shape the cartilage for the ear. Thus, mothers need not fear for their children who are born with deformed ears, because the condition can be greatly improved, even If it’s not completely Corrected. QUESTION AND ANSWER A. C. M.: I have been told I will have twins next month.* Can I breast-feed both babies? Answer: Yes, there should- be no treason why you cannot breastfeed both babies.

Hos Weather Sends Some Workers Home Complex Figuring Used On Weather WASHINGTON, UP —Everyone talks about the weather these days and in spite of the old adage, the government and private industry are doing something about it. They’re sending employes home when it gets too hot and humid to work.; The only question is, 'when is hot. “too hot,” and humid, “too humid.” Federal agencies have one answer and business firms several others. All involve complex figuring. To start with the easiest, government workers in non-air conditioned buildings can head for home when official readings show that a combination of temperature and humidity have reached a certain peak. For instance, if kt’s 95 degrees and the humidity 55 percent, the federal employe is let off for the rest of the day. For every degree rise in temperature from this point, the humidity can fall one percent and the formula still work. In other words, a temperature of 98 and a humidity reading of 52 would mean “go home.” But it has 1 to be official. Employes sweltering at their desks can call the weather bureau for a humidity count, but an administrative officer must take an official reading from an official thermometer —located “out of the sun but away from a breeze” somewhere in the office.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN TODD must have followed us down from the bridge, but of course in the howling wind we had not heard him. Now he gave us a look which might nave meant anything, and then he too went below. When he had disappeared, Robert came over to me.* We both had to lean against the well to keep our balance, but he took both my hands. “Virginia,’* he said, and when he calls me Virginia it is a serious occasion, “1 want you to go right down to your cabin and lock yourself in. Will you please do it?” The idea of being shut up alone in such a storm appalled me. “Oh, Robert, 1 couldn’t I’d die of fright Let’s sit in the salon. 1 have so much to tel! you.” "1 can't listen to it now, I have too much to do.” But he did not say what it was. “Where have you been, anyway?** I asked again. “Down with the crew. And I’ve got to get back there. They are a rum lot A very rum lot I don’t know how much good 1 can do, but I’ve got to try. But I can’t leave you here alone. This situation is worse than you have any idea of. Now will you please do as I say?” “All these mysterious warnings, you and Macbeth too.” “Macbeth?” he seemed surprised. “That Is interesting?* “Can’t you tell me what it is all about?” “No. Because I’m only guessing. I have no proof. And besides, I haven’t time. Come on, go below.” “I tell you," I said, “I can't bear to stay boxed in alone. I’m half seasick already, and that wou|d finish me. But I’ll go to Lisa Tremain’s cabin, and see if there is anything 1 can do for her.” “Fine!” Robert exclaimed, “You do that. You do just that.” Before I could resist, he was helping me down the stairs. I knocked on Lisa’s door very lightly so as not to wake her up, but a distinct’ voice called, “Come in,” and I had no choice but to obey. Robert went away. Lisa had evidently abandoned all thought of sleep. Her lights were full on, and she had wedged herself into the berth with pillows so as not to roll with the motion of the ship. I was shocked at the way she looked. She seemed to have shrunken into herself, to have wizened. The finely waved transformation which usually decorated her forehead lay on the dresser, and half of her teeth sat in a glass of water by the bed. “I just thought I’d see how you were,” 1 began. “Thanks most awfully.” The tone indicated that if I had nothing else to say the conversation might as well be over. “The storm is too bad for sleeping. isn't it? Would you care to

come upstairs with me and sit it out in the salon ?” j “No thanks. This is the best place for me. I suppose we are m a hurricane?” Her voice had the degree of polite inquiry with which she might have asked if tea were likely to be late. “It really is a hurricane, you know," Lisa said without emotion. "1 know that sound.” I listened, and above the creaking and thumping of the ship, the ceaseless crash and swishing of the waves, 1 heard a thin whiny nbise as though the air itself cried out in pain. It tugged at my nerves, but 1 made myself say quietly, “1 do think we had better go upstairs.” The humor which made impossible not\ to like her, gleamed faintly in her eyes. “Not bloody likely,” she said decisively./ “Forgive me, my dear. I’ve had'a tendency to use bad language ever since I drove, an ambulance in World War L You did not know I had done that, did you? Now you see I am well wedged in here. Tremaine taught me this trick when we struck a typhoon in the Indian ocean.” “Well then,” I said, “if you won’t come up, I’d like to tell you what has been happening.” I sat down on the bed and told her about the captain. 1 even told her, in a burst of confidence and my need for someone to talk to, about the man who had knocked me down. She listened with the first real interest she had shown. “I do hope it wasn t Brown. But no, he could hardly have been so stupid. Still, one never knows.” She seemed to be talking to herself rather than to me. “It may be for the best,” she added reflectively. “Perhaps now we can get ashore.” iThe fear I had. been trying to swallow suddenly forced itself up my throat and out of my mouth. •If we don’t go to the bottom first,” I maintained. It was the wrong thing to say in this atmosphere of the ever-so-stiff upper lip. “In that case we have nothing further to worry about.” r I couldn’t play up. “That’s all very well for you,” I cried, “put what about my baby ? What about my Bobs ?" p , Lisa did not answer, only reached over and patted my hand. There was a mild reproach in her wise silence, and I began to feel ashamed. “I shouldn’t have said that. Os course it is the same for all of us. I mean, everybody values his own life.” Lisa’s eyes softened. “No, it is not the same. When one is young one feels quite differently. I remember perfectly how one felt. If I were you 1 should just go along and get in bed with niy husband.” “He isn't there.” I waded.

Lisa looked faintly startled, but not tor Long. "Well, my dear, 1 feel| sure that he is doing something! sensible. You run along and he'| will turn up. You’ve done me by coming. Now just leave mei here. 1 don’t like to be fussed, you? knpw. My old bones are too brittle | to jounce around, and if 1 get hurt I 1 shall be a nuisance.” • 3 I stood up, trying not to ghow-, that 1 was on the verge of tears,*! trying to manage a smile. f i “What a pity you can’t, make us | a cup of tea on my electric stand,” | Lisa said in her most matter-of-1 fact voice. “But I suppose we wait until they stop the round-5 about.” < On the way out, I kept my bah' ahce by hanging on to the doorknob, and looked back. Lisa had < picked up that knitting of hers' and was beginning to count the : stitches, her face calm and ab-' sorbed. She gave me a last* casual piece of advice. / “If I were you, my dear, I should have out my life jacket and take a look at it.” 1 made a big effort not to be outdone in nonchalance. “W hat about yours ?” “Don’t need it. PH float.” We smiled at each other again , and I left her. '< Gay had the cabin next door, and for a moment I thought of going tn, but decided against it. She would be more frightened than 1 was, and I did not see what 1 could do for her. In fact, I really did not know what to do, but five t minutes tn the solitude of my own room decided me. I went up to the salon. ' if ; i Larry was there. He was sprawled out in one of the armchairs, staring ahead of him, and it was easy to see that he had had a good deal to drink, even if he had not been holding bis silver flask in his hand. But he was not past talking to me. Oh dear, no. “Some trip," he said. “Some trip. Women. Women. That’s how it started.* 1 ‘•Usually is,” I said. I vented him to go on talking. “Do you know what my uncle was?” he inquired. “My unde Qppy?” ■ r|} ; ■ \ “No,” I said- | j'. “He was a mean ol<J cuss. He was the meanest ip the wholq wide world. I hate him. I’m glad he’s dead. If I saw him again, Pd kill him myself.” “Right you would,” I said. “You’re a nite girl, Ginger,” he told me. “A guy has to take cart of a woman, you know. Some women are wonderful, and some are awful.” s He went off then into a black country of his own, and I waited for him to come back. The silence did not last top long, because, the door opened and Carlotta joined us. _ (To Be CoutinuedJ '

Harsh Law Is Struck From Czech Books Red 'Benevolence* Extends To Czechs * To Appease People VIENNA, Austria UP —Communist “benevolence” was extended today to Czechoslovakia. The list of Communist-dominated peoples receiving unaccustomed generosity at the hands of the Reds now includes Czechoslovakia. Romania. Hungary and East Germany. “Iron Curtain,” press reports said reptive Bulgarian workers also had forced the government to cancel Soviet-type work methods in factories there. j The Czech, government struck ffoin the books a harsh, week-old labor law in another of a series of Red movfs designed to appease oppressed workers and prevent another bloody outbreak such as occurred in East Germany June 17. It followed by only four days revolutionary changes in thfe Communist .Hungarian government. . Under the law, workers were threatened with forced tabor camps if they missed • more than three days at work without “sufficient cause.” Slowdowns would (bring penalties. The turn-about was the first concession by tlie strict Czech regiihe to the people since the riots which followed the May 3Q currency “reforms.” ■ , The “reforms” wiped out workers’ savings, cut wages, raised prices and repudiated government securities and internal debts as “worthless.” Thousands of workers and citizens rose up in open demonstrations that reached th6ir peak at Pilsen where the giant Lenin works —the former Skoda armament plant—was partially wrecked and the town hall besieged. Sfeanwhile, diplomatic sources who now have had a chance to . study Hungary's “new look,” believed that fdrmer premier and Communist party secretary geni era! Matyas Rakosi still was running things behind the scenes. These sources confirmed for the first time that Rakosi actually had been in Moscow before last week's Budapest shakeup in the party hierarchy and the formation of a new “peasant's government.” The diplomats believed Rakosi’s step down simply was a tactical move taken with Moscow’s full approval. ■ j— 2—, J ■ about 50 British manufacturing I companies and Import-export mer- . chants, it was organized by the council for the promotion of international tiade preside! over by Ixtrd Boyd Orr.
