Handicapping Birth Injuries

IT has long been thought that most cases of mental retardation, • epilepsy, or cerebral palsy are due to a faulty inheritance. - Recent studies show that this conelusion may not be justified. Os 419 children having one or another of the. above conditions, more thhn half were shown to have suffered injury at birth. Ih cne of the difficulty could be traced to’ injury during babyhood. The findings suggested r. hereditary basis for the trouble in only one out of Six caseel It thus becomes extremely important to protect evety ihfant ’from injury at the time 8f birth. Labor offers a number of hazards for the child. Early separation of the afterbirth, or structure through which the unborn t child receives nourishment from the mother, a low-lying afterbirth or prematurity may result in damage to the child. During delivery, over-sized infants, • heavj’ anesthesia, the use of large amounts of sedatives, long labor, the use of certain drugs to hasten delivery, breech delivery, a caesarean section, and. the indiscriminate use of instruments are common causes of birth injuries. | Large amounts of sedatives add heavy anesthesias , appeared _as the principal caused of 17 per cent of all birth injuries in a recent study. The good health of a child should not be sacrificed in order to mdke childbirth com-

The House Armed Services committee has approved a ten per cent pay boost for 'the armed forces. It may be as* much as a ? year, however, before! the propos- ? ed increase can be approved and .< put effect. The increase would cost about $819,000,000 a year, but would add less than two . pbr cent to the total! cost of defense at the present ? level. The costliness of government stems not from the level of salaries but 1 - from the scope of operations. One . ot (he vital factors ifi.the efficiency of' a fighting iorce is its ’ morale. The morale of the*'troops depends in part on the adequacy /. of their pay. Money used to bring h service pay into step with the ' times would be well spent. . O— -O—i— , 1?

In the first place the lights - are erected to guide ; pedestrians and motorists. When boys use the bulbs for targets, they destroy a public service, in addition to ’ the cost of replacing the lights. ’ Air rifles are O.K. int their place and should be used as a weapon of skill and not for detraction. A ■ tin can will make as gbod a target as a light bulb. Rules of sportsYmanship govern whefi a person a gun or aft rifle and shooting out lights is as poor a brand of sportsmanship as shoot- » ing fish? in a barrel. o o—|— Vice-Presidents:— Vlce-Preaifient Barkley is hinting that he would like to be 'renominated, presumably depend-? . ing on whether President Truman ; decides to run again.' If he does get a second nomination, he will be doing better than; most vicepresidents. sr • In the early days ot the nation vice-presidents were often named a second time. But since John C. Calhoun resigned the post in 1832, “ only two vice-presidents have . served two terms, Thomas R. MarJ shall under Woodrow Wilson and John fl. Garner under Franklin - D. Roosevelt. A few others have . been renominated onlosing tick- " \ I ets. \ 1 rMr. Barkley will be 76? when the next presidential ferm Warts. Since the primary reason for having a vice-president is to have an .understudy for the President, age is a significant factor in the choice and may present his renomination. ■* 1 .!■ i . ■ 11 -

pletely painless. \ Another common practice which ih the ' ? cause of many birth injuries is that -of holding the infant's head back until the attending physician arrives. Various methods have been tried./ to decrease the number of birth injuries occurring to infarita. As our experience with anesthesia and pain-relieving dxiigs becomes more profound, fewer and fewer Children will have permanent defects due to these factors. In complicated deliveries the eatly consultation with an obstetrical . specialist will prevent many more. ‘ The use of instruments during the period, of delivery should be kept at a minimum. Drpgs should not be used indiscriminately to. speed up labor, except when there are specific reasons. Adequate care of the mother before delivery, with frequent visits to hes physician bo that :he may early diagnose any complies tion of the pregnancy is extremely important, fbr it nidy make the difference between a. healthy child and one hopelessly tiandi..capped for life. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.W.: Is there any reason why a person with Meniere's disease should not fly? Answer: There is no reason why a person with Menier's disease fchould not take an airpldae trip.

Nlenoias was with out "heart” she toid asrseii, and she wanted no “heartless” nusband. He w«a cruel not to neip young Dr. Peter Bnepnerd. Boone's new resident surgeon, so urgently in need of sage advice. Thinking about it. now tn oar luxurious apartment, Mollie Brooks found berseU confused oy Dr. Cow,an's personality. He bad been eo very generous with ner, helping ner over the rough spots, teaching her now to Uve. Why, then, would be not cautloa Peter Shepherd, as she bad begged Nicholas to do, caution this innocent young man against the wiles and snares of Clara Wayne, Peter's landlady? Clara, a paycopathic Car, could in the most motherly fashion, twist bits of information out of unwary people, bits which she used as grist foe net vicious gossip njllL Peter must somehow be saved from indulging in even wnat seemed small-talk, with this evil woman. Mollie declared. But Clara’s net already nad begun to spread about young Shepherd. Hailing mm on the staircase this evening,, Clara very affably invited: Peter to partake ot her newly baked apple Pie. 1 CHAPTER FIVE •T SUPPOSE you do see a lot of the doctor at the hospital, however,” Clara her questioning of Peter. "No—l don’t, really. You see, he’s exclusively at Children’s. I go over there occasionally, with a case, but I’m usually at Boone. I’m a junior surgical resident, and we .do almost all of the surgery in the theaters at Boone, so—” "I understand,” said Clara kindly. "Will you have another piece of pie?” . "1 ate supper before coming home.” , “None of the? fat doctors eat at the cafeteria," laughed Clara, slipping another wedge of pie upon his plate, filling his coffee cup. She plied him with questions about the hospital, bid he like the surgical .chief? What about Dr. Diebal? pid Peter get along with him ? He was supposed to be a rough man in the operating room. "He couldn’t be a patch,” said Peter politely, "on the man I interned under. He cussed in four languages.” "When you came here, in October, there was talk that you were to replace Diebal.” “Somebody should tel! me these things,” laughed young Dr. Shepherd. | .. “How did it happen you came in October ? Usually appointments: are made in July.” “Well, I’d accepted a residency In a t.b. hospital, then I found 1 was going to do nothing but midthoracic surgery—l asked to be relieved, and there happened to be an opening here. I don’t know What the circumstances were—Just that there was an opening. And, of course, any doctor at my stage of the game jumps at a chance to work in the Group.” "I suppose you met Dr. Brooks?" Clara’s expression was arch. Peter nodded. “Oh, yes! She’s a stunner, too.” “Oh, do you think so? What about her as a doctor?” Dr. Shepherd shook his shining head. “It wouldn’t be my place to pass an opinion on any of the staff doctors, Mrs, Wayne.” - “Os course not, under ordinary circumstances,” Clara asl ee d heartily. “But you see, my dear boy.

Msonnea jfcfe Heller In Germany Mr. and Mrs. Dick Heller received a cablegram this morning from Pfc. Dick Heller, Jr. stating that 43rd division had landed in BermerhaVen, Germany.

now—he was one of the doctors, and I still feel as 1 did when he was alive; that’s why I only let hospital people live in my house, and I try to be helpful In as many ways as I cah. I Certainly would not be the one to indulge in any harmful gossip. Goodness/ a doctor’s wife learns that lesson before she does any other!” “I didn’t mean—” “1 know just what you meant, and you do have to be careful. Things get repeated and turned around. In a place like the Group, politics shouldn’t play any part, but we both know they do." Her eyebrows lifted ruefully. “I suppose so," Peter agreed. •They do, and you count; cm it, young man! I know the place. Even If I hadn’t had Lester—that was Dr. Wayne—l’d get, to know it from; Jiving here on GentiJle Square. Why, almost every apartment belongs to Someone con-, nected with the Group. You and the Ragsdales here; the chief dietician lives at No. 7, and there’s Dr. Irvine on the first floor. You know him? O. B. Big black beard. Miss Gordon herself lives on the top floor ot No. 5, and your goodlooking Dr. Brooks at No. 3. Some of the apartments are divided up— I mean several nurses have one together, and at No. 7 there are three interns —but I don’t approve; of that setup.” "An interns’ dormitory is pretty bleak,” said Peter, smiling. For all his announced caution, he liked this sort of gossip. As a small town boy, he’d missed this particu-., larized intimacy since coming tq the Group, and to the big city. “I didn’t know Dr. Brooks lived on the Square," Peter went on dis-, fldently. "She has the top floor at No. 3; You should see her place!” "I’d likC to, but I doubt if I make tt,” he lahghed. “I don’t see myself calling on a Staff.” "Oh, the Group is pretty democratic.” "Yes, it is—but Pm still pretty sure Dr. Brooks is out of my class.” “Isn’t she friendly?” asked Clara, somewhat avidly. “Os course she’s friendly. What little I see of her.” “Isn’t stxe a surgeon, too?” “Yes, she Is. Orthopedics. 11 haven’t worked | with her yet, but I helped her do a clinic. And, of course, I see her on the wards. I— I admin her tremendously..,l guess everyone does.” “Mrnmmn,” Said Clara, " I wouldn’t say that about Mollie. She’s a nice girl, but—oh, I guess I’m a Httle old-fashioned. My husband didn’t approvb of women doctors, and I’m afraid I don’t, either. If a woman has to have a career ■” “I guess she’s the first real career woman Pye ever known,” Peter confessed. \ “But ypu\said your mother . . "She owns a dress ahop. She had to support me. A«fl a shop—” “Yes, that is different. They tell me women doctors are becoming more commons A "I’ve seen a few—but not like ' Dr. Brooks.

“You do seem to admire her,* Mrs. Wayne commented. “Do you know Dr. Cowan, too?” Peter frowned, surprised at the sequence. “Yes, I know him. Slightly. He and my father were friends. Then, of course, everyom knows who Dr. Cowan is." “Was your father a doctor 7* “Yes. And he and Dt. Cowan— I didn’t know they’d been friends until I was coming here. Mothei told me then and wrote him a letter.” -A “I didn’t know Dr, Cowan was old enough to—but he niust be, because you’re near thirty— * “Twenty-six,” said Peter mildly. Mrs. Wayne’s eyes had brightened, her interest haa quickened. He shifted uneasily In his chair.

But he did know Cowan; and When I was coming here, she wrote a letter- to him, and he invited me to dinner,” . “Did you got Was his house as wonderful as they say If is?” Peter laughed. “I didn’t get to go. I Was on call—and I got called on An emergency.” "What sort of emergency?” ; *1 don’t remember.” ”You doctors,” said Clara chldingly. Peter laughed. “I really don’t’ remember. The surgery at Boone is a busy place." ‘Tl| bet you were disappointed.About the dinner—” “I was more relieved. I wished mother hadn’t Imposed oh him. I’ve heard such tales of his wealth and What a big-shot he Is. What’s more, I got the idea that he Was relieved, too. rd look pretty Uninteresting to a man like that” “Now Y know Nicholas Cowan well Enough that Pm sure he’d be polite.” “He was polite. He said he’d call me for another time, but he hasn’t yet |’d like to meet him, of course —I mean, beyond a word or two. But I wouldn’t ever press things." “It wouldn’t make any difference whether you did or not/’ said Clara vigorously. “If he didn’t want to, he wouldn’t ask you to dinner. Never was a man to do as he pleased like Nicholas Cowan!” "Don’t you like him?” “No. And I don”t like cold fish either.” She spoke emphatically. “He may be all they say he is, as smart and as rich, but I don’t think any man on earth has a call to—well, he’s just plain snooty, and I for one don’t like it. I may not have his money, but my husband did more good for humanity than he’ll ever do. You know, he won’t do any bedside doctoring, and these later years he won’t consult er operate.” 1 . fTo Be Continued)

"Oh, come in, Lilly!” cried Clara happily. Peter got to his feet, and heard Lilly identified as one of Clara's friends in the church, and himself named, his profession tabulated, his position in the Group, his residence in Clara’s house established. "We’re an looking after him.” said Clara largely. “Though maybe we don’t need , to, I understand any young doctor gets along fine if Dr. Cowan befriends him." Peter, startled at being called the great man’s protege, was further puzzled by the knowing glances which the two Women exchanged. He attempted a protest, and an explanation, but. Clara hushed him. "Peter’s afraid of Dr. Cowan,” she told Lilly. Mra Walker, a comfortable creature in a print dress, sat down with sigh upon the couch. “I’m afraid of Dr. Cowan myself,” she said, laughing happily. “Don’t know why —he do e s n’t know me from Adam."
