Chances are you do, even if you think you don't, The word itself, which comes from the ancient Greeks and means "a view through," may be a strange one. But if you ever visited a large museum or certain types of exhibitions, it is likely you have seen a diorama. Often, modeled or mounted figures and objects are dis- played so that a sense of depth and distance is created for the viewer. This is done by strate- gically arranging smaller and identical figures atthe back of the exhibit while larger ones are placed in front. The background, which has either been painted or modeled to scale, is frequent- ly curved to further the illu- sion. Particularly when out- door scenes are depicted, the effect can suggest great dis- tance. This technique is used in many large display cases to show animals, mounted by taxidermists, in their natural settings. Historical events and industrial methods can be given a sense of realism and spaciousness by this means. Museums in metropolitan cities retain a staff of artists and craftsmen who specialize in building and rearranging such exhibits. If you can't vis- it a large museum, you can still see pictures of many fa- mous dioramas. The World Book, for instance, shows sev- eral from the Chicago Histori- cal Society where scenes from Abraham I..incoln's life have been re-created with amazing attention to detail. Disneyland, of course, has perfected these techniques and art forms to an incredible degree. Many of the dioramas there are animated too, so the illusion of reality is astonish - An elementary form of this process is a type of shadow box which can be made in a short time. First, find a lid from a box in which notepaper or stationery is packaged. If you have such little corre- spondence cards, use two from the set, provided they are identical in design. Maga- zine pictures or snapshots in duplicate will also do. Next, cut out the central picture of the main figures, such as the girl and boy in the accompanying illustration, from one card. Then, cut the details desired from around the edges such as flowers, tree branches and grass from the same picture. The second card is not cut but glued to the inside back of the box lid. Use tiny -pieces of cut sponge; paste these over the blued picture in strategic spots; then paste the match- ing identical cutouts to the sponge top. By varying the sponge thickness, various depths are created, and these flat, two-dimensional figures, now a miniature diorama, have a 3-D look. 3-D PICTURE - A diorama shadow box can create a three-dimensional picture from two identical notepaper pictures. WOMENASK Cervix infections treated By ELEANOR B. RODGERSON, M.D. Q. My friends and I have been reading about the dan- gers of an infected cervix and how it is good medicine to clear up discharges that come from it. WtU you tell us more about what we can do? A. Gynecologists like to find a cervix that is smoothly covered with the kind of cells that line the vagina. When these are absent, the cells from the cervical canal in- trude into the area and these are cells which secrete mu- cus and are well supplied with blood vessels. Conse- quently, there is more dis- charge. Bacteria, organisms such as trichomonads, and probably viruses are given a good medium on which to grow. We cannot always find a reason for an incomplete covering of vaginal -type epithelium, but we can treat it. Because we do not -know how and whyancer of the cervix develops, we try to clear up anything that may be irritating. Therefore, we treat the infections as specifi- cally as we can and then, if necessary, promote further healing by cauterizing the un-. wanted cells that do not be- long there. Cautery is performed by heat, with a hot wire, or .by cold, with freezing. The pro- cedure that upes cold is not uncomfortable, but is only about five years old and -long- range studies are not yet pos- sible. Pap smears are, of course, taken regularly to be sure there are no cancer changes: The presence of an infection, or irritation, does not mean that cancer will develop. Early cancers are found also inthe canals of clean -looking cervices. There are still a lot of mys- teries to be solved, but we know that the more sexual in- tercourse with different part- ners a woman has and the earlier in life she begins, the grates the chance of her.de- veloping cancer of the cervix. Don't just look at your cer- vix. Visit your,doctor, or clin- ic, and get the proper tests and treatment. The cervix is out of sight unless a special effort is made to view it. Most women tend to forget it, but remember that we women are fortunate in that it can be inspected and tested and will tell quite a lot about the con- dition of the reproductive or- gans. Slaves built early bakeries Public bakeries were built in Greece as early as 300 to 200 B.C. The bakeries were built by slaves who, given their free- dom, followed the same trade they had when in bondage.

JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: You probably don't receive letters like mine. I know you receive them from parents v'hq, are having trouble with their teen-agers, but I'm 16 and I'm having parent prob- lems. I guess it's the gener- ation gap. How can I remove the barrier between us? L. R. • Dear L.R. : Your letter is not unique. The teen-age grumble we hear today is a general back- ground rumble about their parents. Your parents can only know what they see, and your verti- cal writing mirrors you as calm and unconcerned. If they could insert some tool of understanding beneath what appears to be a Calloused sur- face, they could see the in- tense feelings they didn't know you had. Unintentional- ly, you keep your parents guessing. Your world is today, seen in the lack of upper and lower extensions in your writing. What pleases you today is what matters. You'll let to- morrow take care of itself. You are lacking in a sense of responsibility to yourself, your way of life, and to your parents. • You take some delight and feel a bit of security in block- ing off information from them, seen in the loop on the right side of the a. Or, you will color your story so that you can't even recognize it, seen in the loops on both sides of the o's. Regardless of where you go or with whom you associate, you have to learn to accept the responsibility for your ac- tions. So far, you have done little to prove this to your par- ents. You need to open up to them. Share your needs, your hopes, and your desires - without coloration. This is the way you can break the barri- er ! If the strain is too great, seek out your minister or priest, or some responsible person to whom you can turn for advice. Whatever you do, don't chalk it up to the generation gap. It's like a worn-out rec- ord -- no longer groovy. D.J. fuId4LC% AL ftt�v 8&4° parsley or pecan halves.
