By Lawrence Lamb, M.D. - Dear Dr. Lamb-Is it true or an old wives tale that babies born to women in their change of life are men- tally deficient? I was born when mglglotheg was 42 and approaching her change. After the birth of my last child (a 10-pounder), the doctor ordered a diabetes test and I was told that I had a tendency to become dia- betic. Would, this affect the problem that I always bleed foo much {after childbirth and operations)? Dear Reader-It is true that if you take a group of babies born to older women, as opposed to a group of babies born to younger wom- en, that there will be a few more abnormalities in the babies of older women. This does not mean, however, that because a person is born to an older woman he will nec- essarily be mentally defec- tive or have any problems. 6,0,.00000000000,0,008 eZee ...‘.....’..‘........‘ World Round-Up § DR. MWRENCE E. LAMB Birth Easier in Young 'Women Nature planned things so that women have an easier time with birth and a greater likelihood of a normal birth in their earlier years. One theory that has been advanced for this is that at birth a woman has all of the basic cells to form all of the ova ((eggs)that she will re- lease in her lifetime. Thus, when she gets to be 40 years old, the egg that matures for pregnancy is considerably older than the egg that was ready for pregnancy when she was 20 years old. This same problem doesn't occur in men, since each one of the sperm cells is a newly formed cell and therefore is alwaysyoung. A high percentage of women who give birth to large children do have dia- betes. Most doctors test all women, who birth a large child, for diabetes. Being a diabetic would not affect the bleeding tend- O o_o ve n a a a a as a \aa \\a a\ aa \0°0°%a°0 \0° Expect Nixon Push ByPHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Pressures from U.S.? European governments are bracing for pressures from President Nixon during his ted Europe visit for more liberal trade policies of the enlarged European community toward the United States.

This is an entirely separate matter, related to blood-clotting mechanisms. Dear Dr. Lamb-Is leuko- plakia a term that is synony- mous with cancer of the mouth or is it only a condi- tion that may lead to can- cer? Is there any relation- ship between leukoplakia and leukemia? Also, is there any danger of transmitting leukoplakia from one person to another through use of silverware and othereating utensils? Dear Reader-Leukoplakia means white plaque. It is somewhat like a scarred area composed of fibrous tissue. It usually occurs because of an injury, for example, chronic irritation in a pipe smoker or because of changes in the skin asso- ciated with metabolic differ- ences. You can have a leuko- plakia on the mouth or lip and leukoplakias can also oc- cur elsewhere, for example in post menopausal women over the e xtern al genital area. They are not cancerous, but a reasonable number of these, particularly on the lip, that reflect chronic irri- tation can subsequently de- velop eancer. A cancer 18 merely achange in cell growth that is out of control and the cell growth mecha- nism literally runs wild. Leu- koplakias are often consid- ered as \pre-cancerous.\ For this reason, some doctors like to remove them. Leuko- plakia of the lip of this sort has no relationship to leu- kemia and leukoplakias do not transmit any diseases. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

Soviet reasoning is that since all participants are agreed thers should be a conference in the near future, the preparatory session need not be lengthy. If the United States decides to press for a detailed agenda of what is to be discussed, Moscow could renew its charge that the West is footdragging on the issue. _-_. nis 23 The need for sound health care insurance was great. Surveys showed that one in ten Western New Yorkers would need hospital care during the course of the year. In the late summer of 1936, a small group of men concerned with health care problems formulated a plan. The virtual one man operation they formed later became Blue Cross of Western New York. Before the decade ended, Blue Shield, the doctor care Plan was born. An equally important part of the health care of Western New York. We started out very quietly.

The suggestion first was made by former French culture minister Andre Malraux to Mao Tse-tung in 1965. Since China has elected to form better relations with western countries, Peking will follow up Malraux's suggestion, the ministry officials say. For Your Glassifieds Phone 778-1400 Avery good year.

Rep. Clarence J. Brown, R- Ohio, charged Monday that GOP,. . candidates - were . ''staryved\' funds;, because the President's: committee took ~ the' lion's share of campaign donations. He also complained that some Republicans running for Congress \were clearly spurned\ in favor of Democra- tic incumbents \who had been helpful to the President in his first-term programs.\ Brown is generally identified with the conservative wing of House Republicans. He was an editor and publisher before he was elected to Congress in 1965. Brown predicted that Nixon \is going to have trouble with the 93rd Congress' which convenes in January. He said Nixon may not retain domin- ance over the party because he will be a lame duck President and many Republicans got no help from him in the campaign. Republicans must eventually find new leadership, Brown said, and it may be in the form of an \assertion of some counterpoint leadership (which) may come sooner than later.\ The election results, Brown said, showed \that neither President Nixon's personal pop- ularity nor the political or financial strategy of his com- mittee worked to build a new majority in American politics “Books BEST SELLERS [UPI] [Compiled by Publishers' Weekly] Fiction JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL - Richard Bach AUGUST 1914 - Alexander Solzhenitsyn THE WINDS OF WAR - Herman Wouk ' DARK HORSE - Fletcher K nebel CAPTAINS AND THE KINGS - Taylor Caldwell ON THE NIGHT OF THE If?‘3}’liN'fI‘l MOON - Victoria olt THE WORD- Irving Wallace - MY NAME IS ASHER LEV - Chaim Potok SEMI-TOUGH -- Dan Jenkins REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONER -- James Mills - Nonfiction 'M O.K., YOU'RE OK.

By DON OAKLEY It's been a long time since Henry Ford promised that all the parts of a Model T, bought separately, would cost no more than the assembled car. * Today, the sum of the parts can be more than twice as great as the whole. So reports William B. Mead in an article in the new magazine, Money. To show just how high the cost of replacement parts has soared, Money calculated the retail parts price of a 1972 Maverick, a compact car whose advertising has stressed its simplicity of design and repairability. Sticker price of the car was $2,506.55. » Usipg a complex parts manual, the researchers came up with a retail price estimate for all the car's parts of $6,435.22. That's unpainted and unassembled! | \At 2,265 pounds,'\ says Mead, \the assembled Maverick goes for the groundchuck price of 98 cents a pound, a bargain compared with the filet mignon tab of $2.45 a pound for those 1,180 components bought separately.\ Intermediate and standard-size cars, which are re- styled more frequently than compacts, would cost pro- portionately more if bought as parts. e Over the past 20 years, Detroit's proliferating models have spawned a marketing monster, says Mead, To | service the 112 million vehicles now on the road, manufac- turers stock some 700,000 different parts. A part is usually kept in stock between five and 12 years. ' Despite the enormous costs of producing, warehousing and distributing these hundreds of thousands of parts, profits are hefty for both manufacturer and dealer. - A study by one automaker found that while its dealers realized about 3 per cent profit on new cars, they were making a 25 per cent profit on parts and service. . - According to one industry source, sheet metal parts are initially marked up nearly 300 per cent to make up for losses anticipated in later years as demand dwindles -and storage costs accumulate. But by way of easing the pain experienced by thbSe who may have had to replace a fender or something recently, it must be pointed out that the pricing scale is aimed at achieving an average manufacturer's markup of about 32 ° per cent. ._ The industry's proclivity-for building complicated cars and changing their design frequently has been checked somewhat in recent years. It is possible that the waning of . this former competitive necessity may ultimately slow --> the rise in retail parts prices. But insurance companies, says Mead, report that they have yet to note any such happy impact on the prices of the car parts they pay for in huge quantities. .
