believe I have found the
girl. I am 38 and she is %.
I insist on an open court

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: !
have arthritis and some Of
it has settled in the ends Of
my fingers. They have be-
come knobby. I am worried.
Will I lose the use Of my
hands? l am a typist and love
to play the piano. Is there
any treatment? What is
there to do when they get
red and painful?-Mrs. I.
MY GUESS is that you
may have what we call He
berden's nodes, which is q
manifestation Of arthritis in
the fingers called osteoar-
thrills. Let me tell you that
you can forget about Grip
pling. This kind of arthritis
unlike the rheumatoid type)
doesn't cause deformity which
interferes with ones usual
activities.
Although Heberdens nodes
usually begin to form in ar
thritic patients about the
time of the menopause, I
doubt that giving the patient
female hormones will help
the condition. The important
thing is to try to prevent
strain on the finger joints
by not exposing them to the
extremes Of hot or ice water.
Don't lift heavy. resistant
objects, like a stuck window
or screen. Don't carry heavy
packages from the super
market or from downtown
shopping.
Periods of discomfort come
in bursts of a few days at
a time. For the red, painful
joints few simple things re-
lieve so completely as apirin.
Soaking in warm water often
helps, too.
Although a patient In her
menopause might try hor-
mones mot hoping for too
much, it is doubtful if cor
tisone drugs are of any use
when taken by mouth. Some
doctors claim improvement
when they inject hydrocor-
tisone into the Joint spaces.
/ repeat: the condition may
be discomforting but not
Gripping.

Seeks Clear Picture
The United States Informa-

have not become so swamped
in their own prosperity that
they have lost their sense Of

squirting the development Of
new ideas and attitudes.
For instance, United States
aid helps hasten induStrializa-

break down caste barriers. As
caste partially disintegrates,

bondage to the idea that they
have no choice but to humbly
accept whatever fate DEGREES.
Social change thus leads to
hasten chronological develop

means more bushels Of rice.
The Good Samaritan quality
Of foreign aid-its compatible
ty with the ideals of Christian
compassion-naturally arouses
grave suspicious. But foreign
aid does not have to be defend
ed on humanitarian grounds.
Economic Advantage
There Is the common sense
economic advantage Of creating
new markets for an economy
chemically suffering from
over-production. There is the
more persuasive argument Of
self defense against COM

But history is most likely to
sit in judgment on the first

super-abundant good fortune.

Asia's ill-fed, fll-housed and
