Water in both of Oakland's reser-

Does a gink in Minsk suffer less

han Chicago Irishman does In

These and other questions con-

Russian surgeon told him this was
\ common practice and added:
"We Russians are better able

Commenting on this Stoicism

marked:
"It's possible their part Oriental

the phenomenon"

It's an old sight in many climates

My experience has been that
pain of any kind hurts all human
flesh equally so far as race, color
or creed are concerned. Is a
pimple on a Chinese nose less
tender than pimple on a Brazil
ian nose?
Is a Siberian mother hurt less
by the death of her baby than a
Nebraskan mother is hurt by the
loss of her child?
Pain doesn't vary with the color
of race or the complexion of
face. Tut it does vary in degree
with the individual and the depth
of his feeling.

A more pertinent thing about
pain: The smarter you are-if you
are normal-the more you try to

Early In the Korean campaign
many a South Korean wounded
soldier had to be operated on at
a time when no opiates were avail

operations. Yet the Koreans are
recognized as the most durable
people in the Orient. If they were

Russians, would they have borne
the pain better? Or felt it less?
The truth is that pain, no mat
