Happenings of

The Week

Viscount Alexander will go to Britain next month and will re- ceive an honorary degree from

Oxford University June 20. How- that

ever, it appears unlikely Prime Minister St. Laurent and External Affairs Minister Pear-

son will be able to go to England to accept similar degrecs-doct- crates in civil laws. It was an- nounced Tuesday at Oxford the university has offered the doctor- atu to the three. To receive the degree, the recipient must be at Oxford for the ceremony. ' O U I

The Prime Minister's office said he has advised the university he considers the dcgice a great hon- or but that, in view of the parlia- mentary situation, it is doubtful that it will be possible for him to be present. Mr. Pearson said he would be happy if he could go to England for the degree. But he did not know if that would be possible. The Governor General. accompanied by Viscountess Alex- ander, will sail from Montreal June 8 and return about August 1. The trip was described as I private one.

- ( '-'liaf Body Of Yours lg also I. In-ton, I3. ax:-:xswo.l&3atekuis-amangaass-. ICIATICA AK!) IDW IACI PAIN

As many years ago I had four attacks of sciatica and low back pain. I can sympathize with those who suffer with it. Neurosurgeon: tell us that we can get some idea of the pain of sciatica by - boring that the sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, about the also of the little finger. This is a great many times larger than the nerve in a tooth. which can cause such severe pain.

sciatica is a pain that extends from the middle part of the large muscle on which we sit down: in fact, this large muscle prevents pain when the sciatic nerve would be under any pressure. This nerve passes down the back of the thigh. or upper leg, into the calf and sometimes to ankle and side of the foot.

In The Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Clark l-I. Millikan states that the patient may find it difficult to be com- fortable in bed and may turn rest-v lessly trying to find some position that will bring relief. sitting in a chair or riding in a car may in- crease discomfort and the patient may sit on one buttock, to relieve pressure on the other buttock. In addition to the pain. there may be numbness and tingling in side of calf and ankle.

Some of the signs outlined by Dr. Millikan aref fa) Rapidly bending the head forward may produce pain in lower back; (b) There is stiffness in lower back and raising leg while keeping knee straight causes pain in the back of the thigh: (c) The calf muscle becomes weak and flabby. It is es- timated that pain in lower back. accompanied by sciatica. is caused in 90 per cent of cases by hernia or rupture of an intervertebrsl disk. the cushion of tissue be- tween the bones of the spine.

In my own attacks, only one was caused by injury. and for this I wore a steel and leather brace for several years. The other three at- tacks were due to infection. two from teeth and one from tonsils. and the removal of teeth and ton- sila caused disappearance of the pain.

Contrary to the opinion of many physicians that operation for re- moval of the ruptured disk should be performed at once, Dr. Millikan suggests that conservative treat- ment-rest, supportive brace, and later massage-should be tried; if this falls within a reasonable time. operation should be performed.

What I have personally found in myself and others is that when the patient can adjust himself comfortably In bed and be free or nearly free of pain, injury to lower back has occurred. If pain is pres- ent when at rest. infection-teeth. tonsils, sinuses. gall bladder-ls the cause. It is possible. of course. that infection and injury may both be present.

For Tomorrow

IT may prove to be a very lively and lucrative day. Important moves may be made in connec- tion with sudden decisions. This could be true of purely social. domestic or . ntic projects. and also of business lgvestinents. Whatever the nature, retrench- ments and serious manipulation are esscntial. with sustained as well as emotional stimuli.

If It In Your Birthday Those whose birthday it is. may enjoy a creative year. with much enterprise and applied energies. Even such may be concerned with the social. cultural or domestic life and engagement-. Business ven- turcs could be gainfully indulged. There might be an element of un- looked-for ventures or enjoyments. A child born on this day, will be disposed to quick moves and sudden ventures. although equip- ped for concentration and hard work. Day After Tomorrow The astrological forecast augury of some encounter much of a disagreeable nature tranapiring. However, by maintain- inl a firm grip on tongue and temper. a last moment of inter- vention could bring about a happy ending. with very pleasant climax. Work with faith and confidence for such end.
