C-2 Monday, May 23, 1966 HONOLULU ADVERTISER Dr. Molner on Health '0Jf Caieimun Not a Villian Best Kind Will Last By DR. JOSEPH MOLNER Dear Dr. Molner: I read your article on the two kinds of hardening of the arteries, and yon stated that calcium deposits caused heart attacks and strokes, if I understood correctly. In that case, what does a calcium spot on the lung mean? M.C.II.

Well, I guess I didn't get the idea over exactly the way I want lung, and it healed, leaving the calcium spot which shows up by X-ray examination. Assuming that the area now is thoroughly healed, that calcium spot is just a souvenir of something that once happened. It represents no danger to you now (unless, of course, the scarring and calcification are so extensive as interfere with functioning of the lungs. But that would be more than a Now lets get to the hardened arteries. All of us have gradual hardening of the arteries as we grow up.

It's a progressive process that continues pretty much throughout our lives. Some hardening, therefore, is nothing to be alarmed about. It is only when the hardening becomes extreme that we need to be concerned. The hardening isn't entirely from calcium, either, although some of it is present The bigger factor is the gradual accumulation of fatty deposits which, if they become too extreme, can interfere with free flow ed to. You seem to think there's something inherently bad about calcium and calcium deposits, and that's not of blood through the art-.

eries, and at times contribute to a clot shutting off the flow drastically. That, and not calcium, is the mischief-maker which is responsible for some (but not all) heart attacks and strokes. I hope this explains the question. Calcium is not a villain. Calcium is one of the extremely useful chemical elements, and we need a lot of it all our lives.

Without calcium, our bones would be soft and weak. Without calcium we would bruise very easily and cuts and other injuries could not heal. True, an injury to a or to the foot, may result in a calcium deposit a healed place which mav be large enough to be painful. A heel "spur" being a hsaled place which, becarse it is Irmpy, can be as uncomfortable as a pebble in your shoe. It isn't calcium which deserves the blame, though.

The blame belongs to the original injury, which the calcium helped heal. Dear Dr. Molner: My baby was. born very recently. Can I get pregnant before I start my regular periods again? MRS.

C.A. Yes, because ovulation occurs before menstruation. When ovulation occurs, pregnancy is possible and if you become pregnant the first time you ovulate, you will not (usually) have a menstrual period at all. Time of first ovulation after childbirth varies, but for 50 per, cent of women it is within three months or less. I have known some women not to have a menstrual period for five years or more, because after each child, they became pregnant again before they had time to have a period.

Dr. Molner welcomes all reader mail, but regrets that, due to the tremendous volume received daily, he is unable to answer individual letters. Readers' questions are incorporated in his column whenever possible. 4 'A Dr. MoJner i Mir in 1 ilul "iH" quite right.

When an infected or irritated area heals, you may frequently find calcium in the scar tissue. It is an essential part of providing strong healing. A calcium spot on the lung means that at one time there was a wound, or infection or some injury to the lUNWi I stow -mi DEAR ANN: I married a man who took his sweet time proposing because he always thought I was too young for Jjim. Now I am 55 and look every day of it, thanks to his. rotten temper.

Every dirty, mean thing he has ever said to me has left its mark on my face. Since you are so good with answers, what's vour ansver to this? Yesterday my husband drove me to the dentist. As I got out of the car he said, "Don't let the dentist sell you his moxt expensive work, Ethel. You're getting up in years and there's no sense putting a fortune into your mouth to lay around" in the cemetery." I was so mad I couldn't speak. What should I have said? MRS.

MAD DEAR You should have told him you plan to be-lying around in that cemetery a long time and you are. going to get the most expensive work available because you want it to hold up. DEAR ANN: Our next door neighbor is a nice woman in her 70s. Last week her brother became ill and she left for the coast very suddenly. She gave the key to her home to a 21--year-old grandson and asked him to keep an eye on the-house.

We know for a fact that the boy has been using his grandmother's home for sex purposes. The boy and his girl friend have been to the house four times since Monday. Last night the boy drove up at 10:30. The girl arrived in her own.car. The girl left at 3:15 a.m.

and the boy left at 3: 25. I am willing to spend the money on a long-distance tele-: phone call if you advise phoning the grandmother. CONCERNED DEAR CONCERNED: I do hope the grandmother returns soon so you folks can get some sleep. The next time you see the boy enter the house, knock on the door and tell him you wanted to make sure it was a relative and not an intruder. He will then know you Drop it there.

If the woman has asked YOU to keep an eye on her place, you would be expected to report to her. Since she gave the key to her grandson, she placed or I should say, she MISplaced her trust in him. DEAR ANN: Recently a man in our office was hospitalized. I'm one of those nincompoops who has more heart than brains. I sent him a large bouquet of flowers out of pure friendship but it was misunderstood.

Since the man returned to work he has been very cool. We are both married and I wonder now if perhaps his. wife objected. (My husband didn't. I asked him.) Should I tell him I'm sorry if the flowers embarrassed him, or should I skip it? DUMB ME DEAR YOU: It would have been better, cf course, if, you had sent flowers with a group cheaper, too).

Anything you say now will sound defensive and raise, his eyebrows another inch, so skip it. More Single Girls Than Men Have Had Happy Childhood BERKELEY, Calif, had childhood difficulties. vOV-?

(UPI) The old saying "happy marriages produce old maid daughters" could be true, says a woman psychiatrist. Dr. Genevieve Knupfer, of the Mental Research Institute here, recently completed a survey among 785 adults over 23 years old. Her findings indicated that single women have had the happiest childhoods. The lot of the single woman was indeed happy, particularly compared to single men.

On the other hand, she said men who escape the marriage race were "more psychologically impaired to begin with." Since women usually are more anxious to get married, the fellows who "get away" are more likely to be rejects, she said. She said her studies showed single men were more likely to have lived with only one parent, have MJ 1 the matron of honor, and bridesmaids were Mrs. Ronald Wong, Gaynette Pang, Cynthia Pang and May Uchimura. a i a Chang was the flower girl.

Harry U. C. Wong and his colleague at Howard University put three-dozen roosters on a treadmill. Cruelty to animals? Not on your life. It kept the fowls healthy and the experiment may tome day save some people from heart attacks.

It odded more proof to the theory that regular, moderate physical activity helps to prevent the collection of cholesterol Inside arteries. The three-doten roosterj were fed a high-cholesterol diet during the experiment, yet the fatty substance failed to collect on their artery walls. Another group of roosters which got the same diet but little exercise wound up with arteries clogged. It ties in with other studies that show a lower incidence of heart attack among men who lead physically active lives. The moral appears to be: Be chicken.
