Arthritis is called
"everybody's disease" because
nearly everyone suffers from it
sooner or later. According to Dr.
William E. Reynolds, medical
director of The Arthritis
Foundation, 50 million
Americans have some form of
arthritis.
"Those who have complaints.
;sufficient to bring them to
"medical attention," Dr.
Reynolds explained, "today
number about 17 million." In
that group, five million suffer
from rheumatOid arthritis, which
can cripple and disable its
victims.
'Mature women are
particularly prone to rheumatoid
arthritis. "It tends to come on in
women more frequently than in
men, perhaps three,-to-one. Its
onset is most common in women
in their forties and fifties," said
Dr. Reynolds. He pointed out,
however, that it can also occur
in children of pre-school age.
The word arthritis literally
means inflammation of a joint.
But it is used to cover 100
different conditions which cause
aches and pains in both joints
and connective tissues
throughout the body, not all of
them necessarily involving
inflammation.
The most common form of
arthritis is osteoarthritis, a
degenerative joint disease.
Everyone who lives long enough
gets a touch of it sooner or later.
"We are dealing here with
changes that are, in part, simply
due to wear and tear as one gets
older," said Dr. Reynolds. But
one fOrm of osteoarthritis is
more commonly found in
women over forty. It is
characterized by bony
enlargements , of the joints of the
fingers and sod etimes the toes.
MEN AND ARTHRITIS ,
Two forms of arthritis attack
men more often than women.
These are gouty arthritis and
ankylosing spondylitis, a disease
of the spine that occurs ten
times More frequently in men
than women.
"Gout is a disease of long
interest in history and often
associated with what can be
called high living and fatty

hike Perry Como, I get letters,
Some -of them are very
flattering, Others of them are
not quite so pleasing.
Apparently one of my regular
readers was ready to "bring up"
when he learned that I condoned
the idea of transplanting the
fetus from the womb of the
natural mother into the womb
of convenient human incubator
(another woman) to permit the
infant ,of one family to be
delivered via Another family..
Well, my friend, I think it is
about time that I let you in on
the secret most columnists hate
to divulge. ,
Believe it or not, I don't
always agree with all the garbage
I put in this colurnn. Does that
surprise you? I get an idea —
maybe even a far-out idea — and
mull it over in kind of .an open
way, Actually I share with you
the thoughts which twirl around
in my brain and none of them
are to be taken too seriously, •
This "Window", thing I write
is mainly for fun. It is supposed
to be lighthearted and easy-going
— never too deep or cultural.
In the matter of the ,fetus
transplant, I hesitate to believe
that. I gave the impression that I
was,whole-heartedly in favor of
the process. At least I had no
intentions to do so.'I was merely
indicating the possibilities in a
kind of tongue-in-cheek fashion.
I still believe that it could be
accomplished someday. And I'm
further convinced that there are
those who would welcome the
opportunity to have their family
the trouble-free, painless way,
Just liko some people can afford
to let someone else do all the
drudgery for their offspring, so
there are those who will cotton
to the possibility of childbirth by
proxy.
As for me, personally, now
that we are getting down to
Specifics, I prefer to do things by
the old-fashioned, tried and
proven methods. I'm really not
too progressive in this regard,
In fact, I'm really not very
progressive at all, I guess,
Everywhere in Canada,
women are screaming for more
lenient abortion laws. If I could
really speak my own mind and
impose my own will on the
masses, I'd fight tooth and nail
to have abortion outlawed
completely,
But this is a democracy and
the will of the majority still
rules. If the abortion laws are
widened to permit doctors to
perform abortions for almost
any reason at all, so be it. That
doesn't make it necessary for me
to go out and seek an abortion
the next time I find myself
pregnant — nor does it become
impossible for me to cling to my
own beliefs. It just serves the
majority,.which is after all what
democracy is all about.
The same thing is true of
another very controversial
subject — homosexuality. My
own conscience dictates that this
is wrong, but I have no right and
no oPPPrtunity at all to shape ,
the whole population to the
mould which sults me best,
I may prophesy doom for the
nation that permits legal
homosexuality, but can I really
expect, all Mankind to be in
agreement .with me? If
homosexuality is to be legally
recognized aspermissable, I
don't have to change' my
viewpoint. I simply have to learn
to tolerate the desires and
actions of other people.
So if this column irritates you
at times, chalk it up to
democracy. It is a free country
where free men may freely
express all sorts of opinions.
You are not bound to agree. Not
in a •free society. You are not
even bound to read or to hear,
You are not even pledged to be
tolerant — but it is usually the
best course of action.
Amendment
to Consumer
Protection Act
New legislation on unsolicited
credit cards and goods was
announced recently by
Honorable Bert Lawrence,
Minister of Financial and
Commercial Affairs.
The new legislation, an
amendment to the Consumer
Protection Act, will mean that
unsolicited goods may be treated
as gifts, and that receipt of an
unsolicited credit card will carry
no obligation for the recipient
unless the credit arrangement is
accepted in writing or the card is
used.
Unsolicited goods are defined
as "personal property furnished
to a person who did 'not request
it." It does not include personal
property that the recipient
knows or ought to know is
intended for another person, and
a request shall not be implied by
inaction or the passing of time
alone,
No action may be brought
against those' who' • 'receive'
unsolicited goods for payment,
despite their use, misuse, loss,
damage or theft. And, unless the
recipient agrees in writing to
accept the credit arrangement
provided by the unsolicited
credit card, or uses the card, he
has no legal obligation in respect
of their use or disposal.
The amendments are to come
into force when proclaimed by
the Lieutenant Governor.
Mr. Lawrence said the new
legislation is designed to
eliminate a great source of worry
and nuisance to the people of
Ontario. "It is a practice which
preys particularly upon the
uninformed. The senders are
often firms promoting the sale
of books and encyclopedias with
the purpose of making the
recipient pay if the article is not
returned," he said.
"This legislation is not
designed to prohibit unsolicited
credit cards, However, it is
anticipated that the obvious
risks to any firm sending them
out indiscriminately and
unsolicited will soon put an end
to this practice," said Mr.
Lawrence.

Arthritis hits more
women than men
foods," said Dr. Reynolds. The
connection exists but it is not
quite so direct. "Gout is due to a
derangement of our ability to
digest and handle certain types
of fatty foods," said Dr.
Reynolds.
Ankylosing spondylitis,
which often begins in the
productive years of the thirties,
frequently starts_with_a. pain in
the lower back and legs as an
early symptom. This arthritis of
the spine, Dr. Reynolds
explained, can also involve the
hips and shoulders and, less
often, the hands and feet.
Dr, Reynolds said that a
warm, dry climate does offer
relief for many patients suffering '
from arthritis.
"On the other hand, other
patients find little or no
difference by simply changing
their climatic surroundings, Most
physicians would not urge a
patient to go to unusual expense
or inconvenience to make that
change."
He suggests that arthritis
patients seek early medical
treatment, before irreversible
damage to joints takes place, For
one thing, a medical diagnosis
can pinpoint the form of
arthritis. If it is gout, for
exarnple, it can be effectively
controlled with treatment. If it
is rheumatoid arthritis,
medication and a combination
of ' rest and exercise — and
occasionally surgery — will help
to restore function and prevent
progressive deformity.
