"It bec ornes încreasingiy ap- parent that we can define beauty in m-edical termrs," Dr. Franklyni maintains. "Wýe believe it is un- natural and abnormai for the humaan body to be uggly.

Mlaking Men More Like Women Wbaen a mani bas a heart attack, bie imay simply be paying "the penalty of be!ng a maie." Tbis is the opinion of Dr. George C. Grif- fitih; a University of Southerra Califo-ria cardiologist who cites the fact that twvice as miany menl as w.omen ag-ed 40) to74, suffer h-eart attacks. In Pan article lin theýý current Annais of Initerniai ei cine, Dr. Griff'ýti suggestedJ' a pos-. sîbie solution 7: Makre men chemi- cally more likeonen, Accordlng to Dr. Griffith, stud-- les have shown that men are f ai mrore likely to accumulate choies- terol, a f atty substance whicb ciogs the arteries and is balieved ta be a major cause of heart at- tacks. Amrong women, says Dr. Griffith, the condition is much less commn-on. This biological in- equity, says the USO cardioiogîst, has been traced to the fact that the female sex hormone, estrogen, shieids arterial walls fron fat ýmomnen past the maenopause, lacking estrogen, are more hiable to heart disease), wbiie the maie hlormone, testosteronDie, seam)-s to promote the f at depositls ('eunuchs are less likeiy to develop athber- oscrerosis) . 'Putting this toprcia use, re- searehers at TJSC (notahly, Dr. Jessie Marmiorston) haveý given 354 maie beart patients doses of the famale.sex hormone - in airn- ounits too smnall to feiize - -daily for at least two and a hall mnonths. Thie resuits were encour- aging: The deatlh rate for these men was cut fromn the usual 15 per cent aifter a heart attacrk to a mere 5 par cent. Dr. Griffith's recommenidatio)n: "The administration of estrogen in a smnall dose that does not 'pro)- duce breasýt chanlges or 10oSs of libido sbould be considered for every maie patient found to have an abnorrnial distribution of the t('bl)ood) fat patterni plus early clinicai findinga, of atheroscler- osis.

Af- ter four weeks, of intense heat and humidity our fuIrnace cam-le jinto operation iast night - the thermostat was set at sixty-four, But PIm not grumbling -- no la- dleed! Cool weatber is praferableý ta the heat we have been enidur- ing just lateiy. However, I didJ get up and set the thermostat gets ever-yoýe cdown -- except maybe children at summner cot- tages. I know our eldest grand- son, David, was in bis g-lorY a wyeek ago as hae was in; a ragatta swimmiiing race at Crowe's Land- ing - for savan yaars and under, There wara 83 entrants. Pave came first in both heats aud sec- ond in the fnlHa wvas pres- exited with a ribbon and a flash- baick to sixty. I think hurnidity iih.There coutld't have been a proudar boy anywhare than our Pave! I was very glad ha- cause Pave is a little inclinad to- wards an inferioity compiex and doing- so well in his first swim- mning race may halp boo)st bis is morable. Every child shouid, if possible, be enicouriaged to ex- cel in somaetingJI 't doas a lot ta boost bis ego. Last Smnday w%- took a liittie trip with Bob, Joy -and our other two grandsons. We got ahaad of the crowds and wvent to se the flowers at the C.N.E. grounds, The waste land where the Mana- facturer's Building uised ta be is now a miass of flowers. It is ex- traordinary how quickiy a trans- formation can take place. But lt must have taken thousands and tbousands of haddcing plants to do the job. It alrnost makes mie wilt to thinlkDof the financial out- lay, judging by wbat it costS to set out an ordinary home flow,,er gardan, And Ghen wvhat can ,sorne- times happen, when flowa,-rs arýe at their best is often tragic. Wae had ab rief but teýrr1fic main andwid storml last week and mnany of ouir gorgeous giadioli were beaten hq-., to the ground.l So discour2aing. Howaý,ver, thlat's nothing to problemns that farmners are fac- ing this surrnmer. Hfay aiready t eut; haler mnoves in but before one round of the field is coin- pieted, dlown cornes the rain That was the distressingý news contini- ed in-, a recent letter freim farmr- ing friends. We could visualise the situation so el because cf our own past experiences. Marly is the thie we had the same tbing bappen. And yet, niow w;e lhave been away, from the f arm a few years we find it uinbeiievab'ly easy to forget. And we don't really want to forget. I -mention this be-cause when we were on the farmn we were olten provoked by city f-riands, who had 50 ittle undicerstandcing of our probiemis at that timne. No-w wa cari appre- ciate botti sides of the matter. To f armri folk wet, stormy weather mneans extra work, often couplad with financial loss. To urban f olk it is a matter of an- noyance - upsetting plans for a long w %eek-end -- for a family picnic; a round of golf or attend- ance at a basebali gamie. It is a fact that onielhaIf 0f our popula- tion doasn't know how the other bau1 lives - somaetimes bacausc we don't even care. Surely it wvouid be weli to taka a mnore sympatbetic attitude t ow ar ds eacb tersprobiams. ~However, farmiing problemns are not what thea'y used to ha. Haying and harvestîng, wýith baiers and combines doing, most of thee bar- vast worký, cdoas.n't miake the ex- tra chores for the farmaer's wif e that ituad o. Feading, and bak- îng,- for extra hip was bai enioughf but in addition Mý1rs. Far- mier wvas often pressedi into ser- vice to driva the bhorsas or trac- tor oni the bayfork.

Looking back to, those early thrashlingi days alm-ost miakes mie wilt, aven now.

Bafore the advent ai hyd.ro that meant hours and h-ours over a hot kitchien ranige. Water for the men to wash was also quite a problem. Tbey iiked it bot but of course 'very i(aw farm homes had water on tap. It bad to ha heated on the .stove and then taken out to a wash tub, placed in the yardl or the bacçk kitcheni. So, Mrs. Modemr Farmer, ha- lieve me when J, tel you f arm women- neyer had à so good! i know because we iived witlhout conveniences and with them; from wood tu, electric stoves; f rom hand pumps to taps; fromn pitchi forks to baiers and comn- binles. And yet this much 1I will admi1t. Ever.y type of farming bas its problans -- even now. Lijke a country fair --wbat you maka on the swings you lose on the rounidabouts! But now we have other things to worry about -- Berlin and East Germnany. By comrparison otber problemis are insignificanit.
