Good deeds
get the OK
DEAR DR. BLAKER - 1
saw a car passing by with a
duffle bag on top. Obviously,
the driver had put the bag up
there while unlocking the car
and had then forgotten about
it. I ran for blocks trying to
catch up with him to tell him
about the bag.
I saw a child crying in a
department store. I took him
to the lost-and-found depart-
ment and stayed with him
until his mother came.
I .saw my neighbor’s house
being burglarized and called
the police.
In short, I have a reputation
as “Mr. Good Guy.”
My friends think my behav-
ior is strange. They say 1
should go into therapy to fig-
ure out why I am’ so nice.
They think I should be more
like them.
I like myself the way 1 am,
but I would be interested in
your opinion.
DEAR READER - What's
wrong with being "Mr Good
Guy”’ Just don’t analyze your
behavior too much. It might
go away.
Instead, suggest to your
friends that they go into
therapy to understand why
they can’t accept your good
deeds at face value.
DEAR DR BLAKER - My
husband and I have decided to
redecorate our living room,
but we can’t get started
because neither of us will take -
the lead.
I don’t want to take charge
because I will get the blame if
it doesn’t look good when it’s
finished. So, how can I get him
going7
DEAR READER - Get
going together by sitting down
and figuring out a way to
t work with one another on this
project.
A friend once complained
that her husband hated the
fabric she had chosen for
draperies. She was trying to
decide whether to give in tq,
his choice or to manipulate
him into changing his mind
when I suggested that they
look further for a fabric they
could both enjoy.

Psoriasis treatment varies
DEAR DR. LAMB - I’m a
57-year-old man. I’ve had pso-
riasis for many years and
have tried many medicines
for it. Sometimes it improves
for a while; then it comes
back and gets worse and
worse. I’m really getting
desperate. I’ve had it treated
in the veterans hospital sever-
al times with the ointment
and sun-lamp treatment. It
you good advice in the column
other than to follow scrupu-
lously what-your doctor tells
you.
For the thousands and per-
haps millions of people who
do have psoriasis, I would
point out that cold tar and
ultraviolet radiation is suc-
cessful in some cases. Cor-
ticosteroids applied on the
surface are useful in some
E
azards, including a possibili-
ty of burning the skin,
increased incidence of skin
cancers and increased likeli-
hood of developing cataracts.
A recent study shows that skin
cancers are about 2W times
as common in patients who
have received this therapy as
in other people. This shouldn’t
be surprising since we know
that sunlight in excessive
amounts also increases the
chances of having skin cancer.
In very severe cases,
Methotrexate is sometimes
used successfully.

clears up and does better for a
while. Right now it’s absolute-
ly terrible. Do you have any
suggestions for treatment?
The itching and scaling is
spreading daily.
DEAR READER - Psori-
asis is a difficult medical
problem. Estimates vary
from 1 million to 8 million
people in the United States
who have this skin problem.
In its severe form, it can
cause unsightly scab-like
lesions that are grayish in col-
or and may have reddish rings
around the edges.
For some reason, the regen-
eration of skin cells is accel-
erated. Normally the outer
layer of your skin is replaced
about every four weeks, but in
psoriasis new cells are
formed approximately every
week. The old dead cells stay
on in the silvery scab-like
lesions on the skin surface. If
the silvery layer is removed, a
reddish area is seen under-
neath the scab-like formation.
Psoriasis may be mild or
severe. It does have a habit of
having remissions and exacer-
bations. That makes it diffi-
cult to evaluate treatment.
The treatment of psoriasis
varies so much with each indi-
vidual case and is so compli-
cated that I really can’t give
cases.

PUVA therapy which is a
combination of medicine and
long wave ultraviolet radia-
tion. This has proved to be
very useful in a number of

Concerned About High Taxes?
THE BAD NEWS IS:
When Smith Gilley first campaigned to be your state representative, he
talked of economy in government and saving tax dollars.
Yet in his first four years in office, Mr. Gilley's state-paid Contingent Ex-
penses totaled $195,000!
Is that a pretty fat expense account? You be the judge!
His immediate predecessor, James D. Cole, spent only $29,000 in Con-
tingent Expenses during his last four years in office.
That's a ratio of about seven to one. Mr. Gilley outspending Mr. Cole ...in
the same office, over the same length of time...
The State Auditor also reports that Mr. Gilley during the past year col-
lected on state travel vouchers totaling $5,626.02.
Mr. Cole, in his last year in office, turned in travel vouchers totaling
$182.00.
• .
That's a ratio of more than thirty to one, Mr. Gilley outdriving Mr. Cole
...Representing the same district.
THE WORSE NEWS IS:
• • •
Smith Gilley voted to increase his legislative pay by 50 percent and his
already huge expense account by 250 percent! He pays Mr. Charles Han-
son over $15,000 a year in state funds to do whatever he does in the
political office on Main Street. If we needed that office so badly, why was
it only opened this past fall?
(Source: Official State Audit , Financial Division Director, House of Representatives)
If you believe Mr. Gilley has been spending too many
state dollars for travel, secretaries, law books and other
items...then it is
TIME FOR A CHANGE!
LOWELL CABLE
r
i
believes state budget has grown too
big too fast. He will not vote to raise
his own legislative pay and expenses
and will not use a state-paid employee
in his election campaign.
