SEPT. 28, 1967 - PLAINDEALER - SEC. 3, PG. 10 Small Victims' Hope Hundreds of our community residents are calling on their neighbors this month to alert them about the children's disease, Cystic Fibrosis, and to help raise $25,000 toward furthering research and treatment of CF. Cystic Fibrosis is now recognized as a major cause of death in young children. Every 2\ tours a child is born with Cystic Fibrosis. According to national statistics, one out of every 1,000 children is born with the lung and digestive disease. According to Cook County Sheriff Joseph Woods and Mrs. Brooks McCormick, 1967 campaign co-chairmen, this year's drive is being conducted throughout Cook, DuPage, Will, Mc- Henry, Kane and Lake counties by over 21,000 volunteers. This will be the largest campaign in the history of the Chicago chapter of the National Cystic Fibrosis Research foundation. The funds raised from the appeal will help support a network of thirty-eight Regional Cystic Fibrosis care, research and teaching centers throughout the United States. These centers, all located in teaching hospitals affiliated with leading medical schools, have been established with Foundation assistance. Great strides have been made within the last decade towards improved care and treatment of the CF child. Only a few years ago the CF child rarely lived beyond the age of five. Today, with early diagnosis and expert treatment, cystic fibrosis patients are growing into adulthood. There is no cure for the inherited disease; only hope that a control will soon be found to prolong the small victim's life into a normal life span. Sheriff Woods, his six year old daughter, Rosemary, (Little Miss Hope, 1967 Poster child for Chicago chapter) who symbolizes the 300 CF Chicago children, Mrs. Brooks McCormick, and the McHenry County Chairman, Mrs. Larry Fuhrer, urge everyone to contribute generously towards this year's campaign to conquer Cystic Fibrosis. And, they also urge everyone to take time to read carefully the information pamphlet left at their home by the CF volunteer. These Changing Times Changes in economic and social conditions often convert luxuries into necessities. Occasionally the opposite is true. Old-time necessities become luxuries in an affluent society. /The horse is a good example. Logically, he should have disappeared with the automobile and tractor. But the horse is/flourishing in a new social situation. He has be com*; a common- place luxury. Work toolsDwhich once had meaning to the craftsman as an aid in earning a living are now in demand by men of all kinds who use them for leisure time hobbies. The recent resurgent of the sewing machine is a special example. The style conscious young lady of today may regard a personal sewing machine as a more classy gift than a new television set. Her grandmother looked upon the sewing machine as a necessity as fundamental as the cook stove. Rather than considering sewing drudgery, the modern girl regards it as a satisfying art which can provide her with originals in the latest styles at low cost. The result is a new boom in the sewing machine business. Retailers in large cities have been quick to recognize the new demand. However, in most smaller cities sewing machines are not availqjjde in variety, ill, at ali. ^anwMle the large city merchants are reaching with a heavy hand, through regional advertising mafia, to draw a large new market into metropolitan centers. Thousands of small-city girls carried portable sewing ma-* chines to college this fall. Most of the machines came from metropolitan centers, either because they were not available or not advertised locally. n WWW ((It // ; 'All rigKt, then. Who was able to see the pole?" For Your Information Dear lriends, When death occur* In a family, prompt notice should be given to any religious, military. or fraternal organizations to which the deceased may have belonged.

In fact, 30% of all accidents are caused by loss of control, as reported by the National Safety Council. Dropping off the pavement is the major loss of control factor causable by a variation of circumstances such as: Daydreaming, lack of fresh-air. drugs or alcohol, mechanical failure, tire mishaps and driving too fast. Each and every cause listed here is avoidable with proper precaution. The results of dropping-off depend on the direct action taken by the driver. Following is what a good DEFENSIVE DRIVER will think of as the right wheels "drop off. Don't fight the wheel to get back on, remain on the shoulder and hold speed. Next decelerate, without braking, to safe speed and finally return to pavement. Proper defensive action comes" from driver education, whether formal or otherwise obtained. You must know what to do and how to react in any driving situation. Then if you become a "highway drop-off," at least you will be able to live to tell about it.

John Sterling conducts a superb Marriage Clinic on the air. In fact, the frank discussions thereon during my last visit covered topics never mentioned in college and seldom taught to medical students! So modern radio and television are joining the vast "Newspaper University" in trying to prevent divorce, delinquency and school dropouts. They often give more practical advice than you get in college! By - George W. Crane, Ph. P., M.D. CASE C - 528^John Sterling invited me to participate on his top-rated 3-hour radio show at Baltimore. Its format is becoming very popular all over America, for it lets the listeners telephone their questions right during the program. Their names aren't revealed but their own queries go right out over the TV or radio, and I would then try to answer them. During this lengthy 3-hour program, we must have received at least 50 telephone questions dealing with sex and marriage problems. "Dr Crane," one lady angrily demanded, "why do you always pick on women and show up our faults? "Why don't you criticize your own sex for a change, or do you have the egotistical view that men are 100 percent perfect?" Well, I have participated on these live TV and radio shows from coast to coast for many years. ' So I normally expect about one query out of twenty to show this "suffragette" defense of the fair sex. And I freely admit that I give more advice to women than to men, for that is usually true of clergymen and Marriage Counsellors, nationwide. For women are generally the ones who come to us for help. Women thus show more concern about salvaging their homes and rearing their children properly. Jt may shock the male igek, Jbut~ women are .actually mote' scientific if you regard an open mind as an evidence of the true scientific spirit. It is men who are such supreme egotists that they often disdain advice on how to become better husbands and fathers. "Pm perfect already!" is the usual male attitude. "So why should I read Dr. Crane's column or consult my clergyman?" On the contrary, women are always eager for new ideas by which to improve their looks, their cooking and the success in rearing their children. Even if a woman is, a stunning beauty contest queen, she still will devour information about new cosmetics, hair styles, etc. She may be the best cook in the county, yet she will still clip out recipes from the newspaper and try to improve. Not-so the average man! "You can't Improve on perfection!" is his egotistical attitude. Many of the present husband population weren't fit prospects at the outset. But since you wives are married to them and tearfully ask for advice on how to salvage such marriages, especially for the sake of your children, then don't complain if I advise the "stoop to conquer" strategy. This often means you must belittle your already injured ego to win back your mate and rebuild a happy home. It may not seem fair, but it will work, so don't quibble about a 50-50 deal when your husband will not offer more than 10 percent. You must often go that Bib-' lical "second mile" but if you win, that success will amply repay you for your extra sacrifices. So send for my booklet "Tests for Husbands and Wives," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. Let your mate see himself as others view him and maybe he will at least move 19 from 10% to 25% in your'family partnership! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)
