attracting renewed attention in US NEW YORK Ali treat ment for early breast cancer dating back some 3o years is attracting renewed interest as an alternative to breast re moval in few medical centres The treatment involves ap plying an external beam of radiation to the breast followed by implanting radioactive substances lilttll to the tumor In the implantation either radium needles or seeds of iri diumlltil in flexible plastic tubes are inserted into the breast The use of radiation treat ment remains controversial with most physicians recoin mending some form of mas tectomy removal of the breast The latest report on the radi ation treatment is from the Joint entre for Radiation lhcrapy at the Harvard Medi cal School published recently in anccr the journal of the American ancer Society

todays society The noon hour program was the first in this years series Mrs Mcfullough noted that women who work in order to pay the bills do not usually suf fer the same amount of guilt feelings as the mother who is working for self fulfilment Its easier tojustify working when you know you are helping to put bread and butter on the table But being away from the children is not what is int portant its the quality of the time spent with them not quantity of time Mrs Mctullough quoted study done in the United States which shOWed mothers who stayed at home all day with their children spent on the average only 20 minutes of con ccntrated time with their child want to put plug in here for women who stay at home They are under just as much stress in ii lot of cases as the women who works

searchers say is local treat ment which offers the potential for local control Will mim umal functional or cosmetic impairment The words local control are key to the different ap proaches Dr Samuel Hellman director of the Harvard centre says that in many cases the cancer already has spread at the time of detection so the foriii of treatment will not de teriiiiiie whether the patient is cured or not lly local control fir Hellman means the prevention of local recurrence of the tumor in the breast although the cancer may spread elsewhere But at Memorial Sloan Kettering ancer entrc in New York experts disagree with the radiation approach Dr Roy Ashikari acting chief of the breast service says local lump removal and radiation are inferior to surgical treat ment in the long run lIIIts STATISTICS Ashikari says 73 per cent of the women with early breast cancer and with no spread of the cancer to the lymph nodes under the armpit can be alive cured at the end of it years Even with evidence of spread to the nodes the cure rate is to per cent at itiycars At SloanKettcring some Boo to 601 cases of breast cancer year are treated the largest number in the country Ashikari says He argues that radiation treatment has no such longterni results yet Hellman his results so far are comparable to those re sulting from general surgical techniques but that it is still too early to evaluate longterm survival The use of external radiation and radioactive implants as an alternative to mastectomy is not new The first good scien tific paper on the subject was published in 1937 in the British Medical Journal covering nearly 10 years of experience Hellmans team reported re viewing 150 consecutive patien ts treated primarily by radiation at the Harvard centre between July 1968

to provide cultural things such as piano and camping equipment which they would not have been able to afford otherwise The husband admitted he wasnt housebroken for the first year that his wife worked Now realize she cant do it all herself and chip in with the kids and the housework Its better for us all when she is working The film ended with instruc tions from mothertochild Dont drip popscicle on your fathers clean floor Mrs McCullough advised anyone who was under stress to keep log of all their activities for one week Everything they did from the time they woke up until they went to sleep Take look at the log and analyse it See if you cant cut out some things which are not really important and make room for your priorities Take some time first to decide just what your priorities are

tips Dear Ann Please get this in the paper before Halloween It could save some little lives am addressing myself to the parents of children under 11 years of age If our kids want to go trickortreating dont just let them run oose An older brother or sister at least 16 years of age or YOU should stay close enough to keep an eye on them at all times Instruct the children to ring only doorbells of neighbors who know them twoblock radius of your own home should be the limit Impress on your children that they must not eat anything given to them until they get home Then examine whatever they collect and decide what is safe Every year children die pegause some nut put razor blades in apples or poison in the ge If your children wear costumes make sure they can walk in them without falling down Several youngsters have been hit by cars because they tripped in the street on long skirts Also make certain they wear something white so they can be seen by oncoming cars Black costumes or alldark clothes are hazardous The best idea of all is to have Halloween party in your own home and invite the neighbors kids in It would eliminate lot of worry and be great deal safer Believe me its worth the troubleA Mother Who Learned The Hard Way Dear Mother Heres your letter three days before Hailoweenand its good one especially like the last suggestion Theres no place like home Dear Ann

How should she handle the situationAlso Worried Dear Also If its child molesting you are concerned about may disabuse you of common myth The vast majority of males who go in for this sort of thing are heterosexuals Some gays have been known to bother little boys but this is not their usual pattern If it were my son would have no hesitation whatever about allowing Greg to be alone with the youngster Andwhile were on the subjectail children should be taught early three years of age is not too soon that they must never permit anyone to take off their clothing or touch their private parts Moreover if it is suggested they should be instructed to say no and tell Mom or Dad immediately Dear Ann am 14yearold girl and have brother Buddy who is six years old He is pest and troublemaker am being

he is eating junk every 10 minutes worry that Buddy might die early because of his terrible eating habits Please say some thing to help me Abused Sis Dear Sis You are right to be concerned about Buddys eating habits but apparently your mother doesnt approve of your slapping the kid and neither do Are you really worried about his health or did you use that as an excuse to belt him one for
