The Morning Herald JAMIL.Y ZlGHT Hagerstown, Md. Dec. 5, 1962 A Matter Of Tnsle William I'ahlmann Family portraits should be in keeping with the style and quality of furnishings. 1 mentioned portraits in a recent column and I would like to continue this subject today and go into some other aspect of it. I find that such pictures, which are sentimental to people, are a continuing problem for the decorator.

Many families have portraits of 1 their children done in pastels, gouache or some other inexpensive medium, and while such pictures may be charming, they are rarely of sufficient and enduring quality to occupy important positions in the main rooms of the house. Unless the painting is unusually well done by a significant artist I feel that portraits of children should be removed to the bedroom or more intimate areas of a home after they have been enjoyed for a few years by the doting parents. Many mothers have i critical faculties impaired by happy memories of the child at a certain age and will cling to the emphasizing of a crayon portrait which has nothing in keeping with the rooms a possessions they have since acquired. A portrait which is out of keeping does the room, the artist and the sitter an injustice. Portraits of children, I think, should always be rather small, so that they can be grouped together eventually, there are several children in the family, their portraits should be on canvases of the same size and framed alike, to allow for such grouping.

Paintings of various age groups in a family can be matted and framed alike. 1 like small portraits done in frames with little easels on the back, so they can be placed on a desk, a table of mantel. It is a European style to group small portraits with a photographs on top of the piano, and this can be very attractive when properly done, the frames carefully selected and the sizes in scale. Leather frames can be mixed with natural frames in such groupings. I also like groups of small portraits on a wall.

I have done this sort of tiling completely surrounding a beautiful mirror with portraits of family or friends. Portraits are personal and 1 really prefer them in the private family rooms of the house -bedrooms, sitting room, library or study not in the main reception and living rooms. Of course, if you have a magnificent portrait, properly sized and beautifully framed, it can become a focal point in your decoration scheme. However, the sitter, especially if she is the daughter of the house, may find it overbearing and feel that she luoks more entrancing now than when the picture was painted, uiul 1 am quite likely to agree with her. I lecl that portraits shuukl be attractive as pussiblf if yuu are going to hang them at home.

A portrait of a heavy jowled man, wearing a business suit, may deserve a place of honor in the living room with special lighting, but I actually feel his picture should hang in the Board of Directors' room or his outer office and not in the house. I am sure that most men will agree i me. Hello World Mr. and Mrs. William K.

Dr.

Jones holds a mailing tube containing a Davis pipet, a Washington County Selected For New Program To Detect Cancer In Women Carol Service Set Thin Plans are being completed tor launching an all-out campaign to eliminate deaths from cancer of the womb in Washington County. An intensive detection program supported by the Anv ican Cancer Society, in cooperation with the Washington County Medical Society, uses a new method so simple that women themselves can collect specimens for the famous Papani- colaou cancer test. Originally developed in Denmark, this will be the first practical application of the new method anywhere in the United States. Ever since the Pap smear became recognized as an efficient method for finding the highly curable cancers of the cervix, or mouth of the womb, scientists have been looking for ways to adapt it to "home use." The new testing method utilizes a plastic pipet containing an irrigating solution, which is mailed to the woman together with written instructions. In effect, the pipet method brings the laboratory to the patient, instead of requiring the women to attend investigation clinics.

The Maryland Division of the American Cancer Society has allocated more than $11,000 to support this program of testing the women of Washington County between the ages of 30 and 45, the group which contains in this project, the Washington County Medical Society has organized the Washington County Cytologic Project Committee, headed by Dr. Harold Gist. Other members are Dr. 0. D.

Sprecher, Dr. Frederick Dove, Dr. Archibald Cohen and Dr. Roy Turner. The new detection method cancer is often no larger than a match-head, cells which are not normal are present and can be found in the pipet washing.

The improved cell collection method was developed by Dr. Hugh J. Davis of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, while carrying out research in Denmark on female cancer for the past three years. Since returning, he has organized a special laboratory at Johns Hopkins to carry out the cell examinations. Dr.

Davis, who spoke here last night at the meeting of the Washington County Nurses Alumnae Association, expressed the hope his pipet method will both lower the cost and increase the effectiveness of early cancer detection, make it practical as a public health measure. "We have found," he explained," that too many women fail to undergo regular gynecological examinations to have the Pap test done, but are quite willing to test themselves. We have, in the recent trials in Denmark, been able to reach over 90 percent of the women in the specific high-risk age group by direct-mail examinations. Washington County is particularly well suited to become the first area in the United States' attack on cervical cancer with this new method. The population is stable, cooperative, literate and excellent facilities exist." A list of women aged 30-45 has been compiled for the county, excluding Hagerstown prop- women in Boonsboro, Sharpsburg, and Williamsport.

The new testing method resembles a miniature douche in practice, the cell sample being sucked back in a cell preservative solution into the pipet, which is then capped and mailed to the cytologic laboratory for examination. Once the sample is mailed to the lab for testing, the expert technician takes over, making the new method a "do it yourself" technique only in regard to the col- ection of the sample. Suspicious findings will be reported by the laboratory to the woman's personal physician, who will arrange for further tests and any treatment necessary.
