I out & about I
Johnna West and Bruce
Woodall, both of Sulphur
Springs, have returned from
Abilene where they attended
freshman orientation at
The easy cameras
By the Editor*
of Consumer Reports
What makes a good pocket
110 camera click? Simplicity
itself. The early models were
a snap to load (just slip in a
cartridge), inexpensive, and so
handy to carry and use that
they quickly became the
favorite camera of the casual
snapshooter.
Now there are adjustable-
focus 110 models that are
more complex. Some of them
have the sophisticated lens
and exposure features nor-
mally associated with good
35mm camera^: built-in
depth-of-field indicators,
interchangeable lenses, wide
shutter speed ranges, impres-
sive flash ranges, “macro"
settings for extreme close-
ups. and more. And they cost
$200 and up.
But according to the photo
optical staff at Consumer
Reports, if you're serious
enough to spend $200 or more
on a camera, you probably
shouldn't spend it on a 110
camera at all.
Even with adjustable focus,
a 110 model cannot produce
the superior quality print of a
good 35mm camera. The neg-
atives of the 110 cameras are
about one-quarter the area of
35mm negatives Getting a
sharp, grain-free print from
the former is possible only at
a size one-fourth of the latter,
because their negatives are
that much smaller.
A factor limiting the versa-
tility of the 110 camera is that
it can use only two ranges of
film speed: normal speeds for
slides, color prints, and black-
and-white prints, and faster
more sensitive ASA 400 color
print film So no matter how
expensive and elegant the 110
camera, the prints are still
going to look like snapshots —
which is fine, except that you
don't need to spend $200 or
more on a snapshot camera
That’s why, although the
Minox 110S, Canon 110 ED20.
and Pentax Auto 110 were the
top-rated pocket 110's, CU
recommends these elegant
devices primarily to camera
buffs looking for something
different to add to their
collection For those who
merely want nice snapshots,
these cameras are too costly
— perhaps even too complex
— and an inappropriate buy
overall.
Most 110 users would be
better off with less sophisti-
po:
Ha
cated and less expensive
int-and-shoot 110's. The
animex V1F ($45) and the
Sears 10/10 EF (about $40)
were the top-rated point-and-
shoot models in tests conduct-
ed jointly by the Consumers
Association of the United
Kingdom for Consumers
Union, Consumers Association
of Canada and several Euro-
pean consumer organizations,
but they have been discontin-
ued and are not available.

best protect your cameras
and other valuables get a spe-
cial reprint of Consumer
Union’s report on protecting
your valuables Send 50 cents

the reprint on protecting your
valuables.)
The Kodak Ektralite 10
($40) shouldn’t be hard to find,
and its picture quality is just
as good, although its low-light
capability (the lowest light at
which it can take a picture
without a flash) is more limit-

Other causes of hot flashes

experienced some hot
flashes in the month after
my surgery. Again, at 48, I
had several months of
excessive heat and a light
sweat — a typical pattern

that most women experi-
ence
Now at 54 I am experi-
encing sweats 12 to 15 times
a day My hair becomes
soaked along the neck and
two or three inches above
my bra and underarm area.
My clothes are clammy, and
I feel the need to rebathe.
My ovaries were healthy
and not disturbed at the
time of surgery. Is this a
return of the menopausal
symptoms with an increase
in sweating, or something
else?
DEAR READER - First,
remember that hot flashes
and sweats can occur from
other things besides the
menopause. Chills and
fevers during a kidney infec-
tion is a good example
Your story is important
because it points out that
you can have a hysterecto-
my leaving the ovaries in
place and not undergo a
menopause Your initial hot
flashes may have been a
temporary hormone imbal-
ance but were more likely a
complication of recent
surgery
Eight years later your
ovaries may have begun to
fail. Certainly at this age
they should. I think you
should have an evaluation
by your physician. If you
have no lumps in your
breasts and your problem is
related to decreased female
hormones, your physician
may wish to provide some to
help control your symptoms.
To give you more infor-
mation on how the decrease
of female hormones can
affect you, I am sending you
The Health Letter number
5-12, Menopause.
It is important for a wom-
an to know if her ovaries
were left in or not if she had
a hysterectomy. I don't wish
to imply that you have can-
cer of the ovaries but that is
one possibility in any wom-
an who still has ovaries The
danger is that a woman will
think she has nothing to wor-
ry about because she has
had a hysterectomy and will
neglect medical checkups
Ovarian cancer may have
already reached an
advanced stage when it pro-
duces symptoms
DEAR DR LAMB - A
recent test showed my white
blood count was low. only
3,200. A second test was
only 3.000 My doctor sug-
gests that I have a third test
in two months as I am feel-
ing fine otherwise He sees
no need for me to see a spe-
cialist as vet I had a read-
ing of 4,000 in 1977
What causes this condi-
tion0 Is it serious0 He told
me to be careful of colds
and viruses and not to use
alcohol Why0

probabilities are that it is
not indicative of a serious
problem since you feel fine
and the rest of your exami-
nation was normal The
number of white cells in
vour blood is really only a
fraction of the total white
cells in your body, so the
test often is not a good indi-
cator Many white cells
stick to the sides of the
capillaries and are not in the
blood that is withdrawn
Other large numbers are in
your tissues, not your circu-
lation
You would require further
testing to determine your
true white cell count for
your body as a whole And
your doctor is wisely trying
to protect you from infec-
tions If you have a signifi-
cantly low white cell popu-
lation. your defenses against
infections might not be
adequate.

There is nothing more pitiful on God’s green earth
than to watch a woman whose family has rented a
cabin for the summer try to “relax” and get close to
nature.
A woman may leave her own home, but she takes
her pride and her guilt with her. I have seen these
surrogate housekeepers move fireplaces to clean
behind them, wax the plumbing under the sink,
launder dust balls and replace them under the bed
where she found them.
I am one of them.
We went that route about five years ago. The couple
was going to Europe and offered to rent us their home
by the beach for six weeks. My family was ecstatic.
They dumped their luggage in the middle of the floor,
got into their bathing suits and my husband said,
“Well, what shall we do first? ’ ’
“I think I’ll scour the fresh air vent over the stove.
If we don’t fry anything, I won’t have to do it again
until we leave.”
“We’re here to relax,” he said, “not dean house.
Surely she expects us to live in the house.”
"Like what!” I said, “A religious commune that
workships white rings on the table? Get that wet towel
out of the living room. And help me with these
draperies. The sun is bleaching that sofa white.”
During the weeks that followed, while the family
turned brown and healthy, I took off the faucets and
cleaned them with a toothbrush, alphabetized and
cross-referenced the mail, sucked sand out of the
sliding door track with the sweeper attachment,
bleached dish cloths and laundered the plastic bags
each day and hung them out to dry.
One day when they came in for lunch, I was in tears.
“What’s the matter?” asked my husband.
“It’s the fig tree in the bedroom. It’s dying.”
“It’s not your fault,” he said, putting his arm
around me.
“There’ll be questions. An investigation. The
family should know. They’ll want to be here. ’ ’
He nodded to the children who silently began to
pack.
That was five years ago. Once I was home, things
returned to normal. There were poker chips in the
planters, the mop stuck to the floor and someone
wrote in the grease behind the stove, “FOR A GOOD
TIME CALL MARILYN 555-5544.”
Someone mentioned renting a cabin again this
summer and relaxing. I don’t think I’m well enough.
