I have heard about put- ting pellets of estrogen under the skin to take away the ef- ffecas of the menopause. Is this a good method of treatment? A. Estrogen, for those who need it and have no contrain- dications for it, may be ven in several ways: by injection, by creams, by suppositories, by pills, by implanting the pellets you mention under the skin. Implanting a pellet re- quires a small surgical oper- ation under sterile technique. It then secretes • a 'steady amount of estrogen for about three months (according to the manufacturer). Most of -us have found that pills by mouth are more prac- tical and simpler than any other method. The patient herself can help regulate her dose, and, even if she doesn't, the regulation is easier for her doctor. One disadvantage off the pellet is that if the dose is not just right for the patient, she is stuckwith it for the three months. The big advan- tage lies in the fact that she won't have to see the doctor often. Vegetable oils used in nylon Synthetic fiber industries which have mainly used pe- troleum as a base for their products have been forced to look for -other raw materials as a result of rising oil prices. Some manufacturers are utilizing such vegetable oils as soybean, sunflower seed and safflower oil to produce nylon. COMFORT IS YOURS WITH SPRING STEP ARCHES Don't get in a cold war with your feet.

CHILD'S PLAY Egg cartons used in flower By BUROKER & HUNTSINGER What do ecology and eggs have in common? As you probably know, there's great concern these days about the difficulties of disposing of many plastic objects and con- tainers. These objects are useful in our daily life, but they do not dissolve or disintegrate readily, and so often create sewage disposal problems. It may seem a very small part to play, but whenever you begin an art or craft proj- ect, see if any of these plastic household materials can be recycled. By transforming them, at least a little of socie- ty's throwaway problem can be remedied. Many supermarkets pack- age eggs in colorful Styro- foam cartons. Besides being sturdy, their attractive pastel shades are light and delicaCte looking. The colors cannot be • duplicated from a' paint box or by crayons. Ordinary cardboard egg cartons can also be used to make a stand -out floral pic- ture, but Styrofoam Ones bring a polished, "profession- al" look to these 3-D cre- ations. Begin by cutting the bottom of the carton's individual compartments. Cut into the center of each of these seg- ments so four separate petals, joined only at the bot- tom, result. Then, round the edges so their smoothness will provide a realistic look to each petal. The Styrofoam cuts easily, and neither breaks nor proves brittle if handled carefully. The bottoms of each section • pictures are already flat and smooth. They just need a dab of white glue to keep them firmly in place on a sheet of construc- tion paper or cardboard used for background or frame. The accompanying illustration suggests how to arrange the flowers and, of course, more or fewer egg holders can be used. Before attaching these "blooms," however, cut stems and leaves from col- ored paper. . Arrange, then paste these as desired. Dime - size, round flower centers, the same color as the stems, can be pasted into the cen- ters. A picture of simplicity, this project nevertheless has an attractive appeal which, in its own fashion, rivals a real bouquet.

A friend and parishioner was in counselling. Frank confided, "For a very. long time, I did not like myself ." He was saying this not in self- pity, but simply as an unfor- tunate fact of life. "To feel like that was very difficult," he related, "and very pain- ful." Frank had done enough thinking about what this meant, and he continued, "I did not like myself for a num- CROSSWORD • By A.

I would certainly hate to go. back to that way of liv- ing. "I woke up gradually," he continued, "when I discov- ered with real surprise and pleasure that a number of people did like me. It took me a while to understand that if they can like me, why can't I like myself? Just thinking about it did not do any good, but slowly, somehow, I learned to like myself and then it was all right." Frank was not sharing this self-love • in any negative sense, but he was laying out for me a dimension of his own self-knowledge. He had learned to accept and like the person he Was, and therefore he began to accept himself as other people accepted him. This was a great pleasure for Frank, and he could relate to me how miserable it was for people who do not like them- selves at all, for any number of reasons. The majority of people who seem = - a ' actor ana coun- sellor, he , hey get past the symp ' hich had brought them to my office, begin to deal with their basic prob- lems. Often it is that they dis- trust themselves, they know they put on masks, they cover themselves with hypocrisies and emotional dishonesties, until they are plastic, unreal people, and reject what they have made of themselves. The symptoms often are that they quarrel, boast, pretend, and are jealous. The cause is that they do not like the per- son they have to live with in their skins. The other side of this pain- ful truth is that often a person does not know himself well enough to know whether he likes himself or not. Since we have an almost automatic aloofness in our culture, if not distrust of strangers, or even a fear of strangers, this can carry over where a person fears and dislikes his "stranger" inner -self. Frank's breakout was that when he was able to come to like himself, he was released from his own real prison he had built for himself of self- contempt, self -rejection, and se -dislike. If I could choose a gift to give, this is the one I would GRATED CARROT SALAD 4 or 5 medium sized carrots, grated - Chopped onion to taste Chopped green pepper to taste Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (more or'less depending on how moist you prefer it) Combine above ingredients as you would for a cabbage salad or cole slaw. • GOLDEN IJELIGHT 1 package lemon jelly powder 1 cup boiling water 3/4 cup pineapple juice 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained) 4 medium size carrots 2 tablespoons lemon juice • Dissolve jelly powder in boiling water. Add pineapple juice and lemon juice. Chill until Slightly thickened. Grate carrots, and fold carrots and pineapple into jelly mixture. Pour into mould and chill until firm. NOTE: If you oil or moisten your mold form before putting in the salad mixtures, the gelatin salad will slip out easily. HOUSEHOLD HINTS: You will get twice as much juice from a lemon if you heat the lemon first. Green tomatoes will ripen more quickly if they are placed in a paper bag and stored in a dark place. Want to save the vitamins and the bright red color of your rhu- barb when preparing it for cook- ing? Just wash the stalks and cut them with scissors. begin with. When a person begins to like himself, even a little, the sharp edges of his cruelties and the damaging explosion of his angers can begin to be dulled. Such per- sons do not need to hurt someone, just to keep their ego chins above water. Ac- cepting the person We are forms a basis for friendship with ourselves, and maybe in time the enjoyment of our own company. As Alfred_ Lord Tennyson said, `,`That which we are, we are...," so enjoy yourself, because you are not only what you are but with the possibility of becoming more.
