THE WEATHER OUTSIDE is frightful, but Moscow’s
year-round hot water swimming basin still draws a
good crowd. Water is a constant 81 degrees.
Nixon, Trudeau
to tackle discord
By GREG CONNOLLEY
Copley News Service
OTTAWA — President
Nixon’s world tour of summitry
will end up with some back
fence mending in Canada
which may be of considerable
importance to him as well as
Prime Minister Pierre
Trudeau.
From the heights of Peking
and Moscow, a visit to Ottawa
by the President this spring
may seem like pretty small
potatoes and indeed the tour
was arranged originally as a
largely ceremonial occasion.
Now it turns out that there
are a number of serious
disagreements between the
United States and Canada
which would warrant the
personal attention of the two
leaders.
Another factor not likely to
be overlooked is that both
Nixon and Trudeau face
elections this year.
If the President and the
prime minister can have a
successful meeting and
demonstrate to Americans and
Canadians that all is well in this
part of the world, at least, then
this should be helpful in their
election campaigning.
The session scheduled here
will, of course, be considerably
more important to Trudeau
than to the President. If the
President has some nice things
to say about Trudeau and
Canada, this will bear more
authority with Canadians than
any Trudeau compliments
would register on the U.S.
scene.
The problems between
Canada and the United States
range over economic affairs,
trade, defense, arctic
sovereignty and other matters.
DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB
Disease Can Cause
Changes in Bones
By Lawrence Lamb, M.I).
Dear Dr. Lamb—l would
very much appreciate it if
you could give me some in
formation on what might be
checked and if there is some
medication for my problem.
My body structure has
changed in size and this is
not due to a weight change.
An example would be I am
unable to wear the hats,
gloves, or shoes that I wore.
Whatever has taken place
has also affected my vision.
The eyeball protrudes and
yet is sunk back into the
head due to the bone around
it growing and therefore
changing my face, which
was round, to a more oblong
shape. My ears have been
giving me much trouble. My
mouth and throat have grown
up and back so that I have
to be very careful that I do
not choke when eating.
I did see a gland specialist.
He said bone or body struc
ture cannot be changed, but
my body has signs that it is
doing just that.
Dear Reader—l presume a
gland specialist would recog
nize bone growth associated
with a glandular disorder.
Your description suggests
that you have an abnormal
function of the pituitary
gland.
This little gland which is
underneath the brain se
cretes growth hormone,
which all of us must have
during our growing period.
The long bones in the body
calcify and growth of our
legs and arms stops under
normal circumstances. If
this doesn’t occur, the growth
The differences pile up,
Canadian officials believe,
because Washington tends to
take Canada for granted.
Trudeau would like to see the
spring meeting with the
President be the occasion for
some solid accomplishments
and improvement in relations
between the two neighbors.
It might be the occasion for
issuing a joint statement for
mally renewing the traditional
close ties between the United
States and Canada. Trudeau
could hardly opt for less after
the parade of declarations he
signed in Moscow and Ottawa
last year with Soviet Premier
Alexei Kosygin.
Also important to the Nixon
stay in Ottawa will be the
ceremonial aspects to provide
color and glamor. The visits of
President John Kennedy and
President Dwight Eisenhower
were very successful from this
point of view. Kennedy made a
hit with his speech to a joint
session of Parliament and
Eisenhower had the whole
capital talking about his golfing
exploits.
One major change from the
time of Eisenhower and
Kennedy will be in the en
forcement of security. The two
late presidents, while carefully
guarded by the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police and U.S.
agents, nevertheless mingled
freely with the crowds.
There will be much tougher
screening for President Nixon
to counter demonstrations
fostered by current social
unrest. The Mounties are
determined there will be no
wrestling match in Ottawa for
the President such as that
perpetrated on Kosygin by an
ethnic protester.
hormone from the pituitary
can result in giants. If the
bones are already sealed so
that they don’t grow, over
a c t i v i t y of the pituitary
gland can cause changes of
the hands and feet and
changes of the face and head
as you have described them.
Commonly, individuals
with tnese problems cannot
wear the same ring size that
they used to wear. Difficul
ties with vision sometimes
occur with this disorder be
cause the pituitary gland is
also located where the two
optic nerves branch outward
to go to each eye. If you
should have an overgrowth
of the pituitary gland in this
area, it can affect vision.
I would strongly recom
mend that you check with
your local medical society
and ask to be seen by an en
docrinologist. If you are near
a university medical center,
1 would suggest that you
write there for an appoint
ment in the endocrinology
section for the possibility of
acromegaly, which is the
technical term for the condi
tion I suspect that you may
have.
I am astonished by your
statement that a gland spe
cialist told you that bone or
body structure cannot be
changed. This suggests
strongly to me that you have
been seeing the wrong gland
specialist, because acromeg
aly is a well-recognized
problem and it certainly
does increase the size of
bones, particularly the
hands, feet and head.
