New Plastic Burn Covering

Penicillin and other antibiotic drugs are also ; often given in order to prevent severer Infections which may develop . i; A danger that may result Iron! burns Is tetanus or lockjaw. When the victim has not been immunized against tetanus, -a serum, known, as tetanus antitoxin should be given immediEven a person who hsjs been Immunized should have * dose of tetanus antitoxin. » Os course, with any severe ' burn, the pain and anguish is relieved Immediately by the dpctor with pain-relieving < drugs, for these will lessen the shock and make it easier to handle the burns. --'V . 1 < The covering of a burn is very Important.

veloping a plastic film which can be quickly sprayed on the skin with a spray gun or aerosol bomb. Keep Out Bacteria This plastic has proved impermeable to bacteria and germs. It is also very adhesive to the skin, elastic, water-resistant and very tough. This is another tribute to the doctors in the Armed. Forces for their continued contribution to medical science. .This type of dressing is much quicker to apply than cumbersome bandages. As far as can be seen, healing of the burn is not retarded by this new method of treatment. The results with this new plaatic film have been very encouraging, though still experimental. It would seemi that under conditions where large numbers of people might- be badly burned, this fast method of treatment could prove llte-savlng to many. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. S. P.: | What is the best way to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy? Answer: since nearly fifty per cent of the women who are preg- . nant have nausea and vomiting during the first thrpe months of pregnancy, not too much concern should be paid to norma! amounts of this distress during these tenths. Usually eating smaller amounts of food at more frequent intervals and the eating of a greater amount of starches helps. The use of sedatives .and ai drug known as i diphenhydramine are of help in certain case*.

SYNOPSIS Comely MUs Carol Marsden Is en route from England to New York and Palm-Beach, to an exchange Job in thej ’ smart Appleton apparel shops In these i Cities. This is the result of an award Which she had won as a buyer for Felton’s Department Store of London. Her employer, gay. young widowed Thelma Felton and handsome bachelor sDerek5 Derek Appleton of the famous Newt ork firm, accompany CAro) aboard the ueerMary. Thelma, a shameless ad-j yenturess. had managed to wangle tho Fe’tbn estate from her late doting; senile, husband, so that now she owns the Felton store. As the ship sails, we find her in her luxurious cabin, assorting her many bon voyage floral tributes. Among these she comes upon ah ugly flowering cactus and the bight of it causes her to faint in fear. Recover-; ing composure, Thelma pursues Derek Appleton relentlessly, making a play for his favor, ;■! ' | CHAPTER EIGHT CAROL dined at a different tablei from Thelma and Derek, and her three table companions were eld-| erly women going over to an educational conference in Chicago. Byt from where she sat she could see Derek and Thelma at ona odß the more prominent tables. Thelma looked a picture in a daringly cut evening gown of palest lemon chiffon. It was just right with her ash-blopde hair. Her diamond necklace and earrings sparkled; all her gestures were animated. Apparently she had recovered from hqr fainting spell of the afternoon. Carol had thrown water in her face and Thelma had revived quickly, explaining that her faint was Caused by the rush she’d had getting onto the ship. • Tin rather prone to fainting,’’ she'd said. “Don’t think anything of it.” But she’d bustled Carol out of the cabin without giving her time to finish arranging the flowers. \ Now,-from across the large, elegant dining salon, Carol couldn’t help noticing the way she leaned towards Derek and smiled at him invitingly. If Thelma' hadn’t traveled with them, would Derek and she have sat together? It would have been more fun, certainly, than sitting with these rather austere-looking women. The food was wonderful. It seemed impossible that you could Sso near England and yet he able see such a variety of food on the menu; but for some reason she wasn’t hungry. When she’d finished, she walked on the deck and watched the moonlight playing on the waves, whitening the foam and laying a silver sheen on the waves. She watched her fellow passengers chatting and laughing in groups, and she tried to feel interested and amused, and not a little lonely and out "of things. Dance music was coming through the open windows of one of the lounges and she wondered if Derek and Thelma were dancing together. She would have liked to dance with him, but she didn’t want to go into the ballroom alone; she’d go to the movies. They were showing one of the new British films, and though it was good, she found it difficult to keep her attention on it She had a feeling of nervousness and tension she couldn’t account for, unless it was the memory of that : . -

It had been sfech an odd-l6oklng bouquet amongal) the roses and carnations and orchids; she couldn’t think of anyone sending it other than as a joke. Ana yet she felt, even then, it hadn’t been a joke. As they all filed out of the narrow theater, sne saw Derek standing there. H,« came to her quickly. “I thought you might have gone to the movies. I looked for you after-dinner but you’d disappeared." ' < He went on with a faintly sfelfconscious and worried air: “I (wish we were all sitting together, but Thelma," he corrected it instantly, I “Mrs. Felton explained." He didn't say how she had explained it. Cato! smiled faintly. “The Rig Boss can’t sit at a table with one of the employes. It isn’t done/’ He ran a hand through his brown hair. “But that’s nonsense. And?’ he grinned, "your t a tri e doesn’t look too gay. Couldn’t you change ?" “I’m quite all right. The women I sit with are very pleasant." “Come up to the Verandah Case. We pan dance?’. He added, “Mrs. Felton went to bed. Her nerves seem, im rather a bad state tonight. Tt was probably the rush of getting on the ship.” The Verandah Case was on the top deck undef the bridge. Semi-, Scular in shape, it had a bar and orchestra, a pleasant dance space and small tables softly lighted. Its walls Were almost entirely plate glass and while yob ate or drank you could look qut over the sea. It was exclusive, and Carol noticed a number of Women whose pictures she’d Seen in the Tat let or the Sketch.. She forgot she’d beert a little lonely and homesick, and, gave herself up completely to the enjoyment of the moment. Between dances, Derqk told her something about hiniself and the kid Sister whom he seemed to adore. She was eighteen and very cute, and all the boys, he said, were mad about her. She lived in, the penthouse with his parents on Park Avenue when she wasn’t away; visiting friends. Himself, he’d been to Kent School, then to Princeton University, ’Where he’d taken; a degree in Business Administration. “And now I’m merely helping Dad, learning the ropes.” He grimaced faintly, and added, “But being Dad’s son, I’m afraid It’s been too easy." “You’d rather have struck put on your own? I think I understand.” He glanced across at her sharply. “You do? Then you’re the first girl Tvs ever known who does. Most of them tell me how damned lucky I am to have been born a silver spoon in my mouth, as it were. But—rd like #to feel I was standing on my own feet, without Dad behind me.

He looked at her in surprise. .’’You’re rather a discerning girl, (Aren’t you?” : She flushed slightly at the compliment She said, with a slight laugh, "I’ve always, had Just a little too little until now, and now jt seems almost too much.

"That’s kind of you.” ( “We always try to show the girl who wins the Award as good a time as we can.” But his eyes twinkled, t “1 understand.

You are,” he paused, d his face, which was almost |po good-looking, sobered suddenly, "different from any other girl live ever met. You seem," he gied again, as though trying toe k it out, “more real and untanding. Anyway,” he smiled His strong, tanned hand had tpen lying on the table close to hers and now it closed over hers Quickly. Neither spoke for several moments. She could feel her heart jumping as though tn rhythm With the music, and more than fever she was aware of that tense fem er emotional excitement she’d Itnown earlier that day as they’d stood together on the crowded upper deck.

An • important factor which parents should keep in mind is that the melodies the child becomes familiar with at an early age usually remembered throughout life. Some people believe that children will tire of the melodies they hear frequentlj-. On the contrary, the more they hear good music, the moe they gow to love and appeciate it. i . . ‘ V When the small child is playing around the house, or quietly looking at books just before dinner, the parent can put some selections from the great composer and from opera on the record player. Os course, at the same time the father or mother will want to give the clilild a chance to know and to love nursery rhymes and farnilar children’s songs. Fairly young children can gradually learn to longer tions from 1 grand opera if they: > are told the story in advance and are familar with the musical themes. In one home where the children like to make scrap bboks, the parent | started a music album devoting several pages to each of the better known composers. Pictures of great composers incidents from their lives may be from curfept magazines. Books which tell the stories of the operas and composers’ lives could well be included in every home library. ; ■ ;« There are other values to good music besides enjoyment and appreciation. By hearing it, children will be helped to develop a keen sense of rhythm so desirable for { dancing, reading or writing poetry, and tor taking part in dramitios. « h. !a- ■ -J.-- '•

Tree On Display ] At Decatur Library

“The egg tree” is! in bloom once 1 more. i H Eajch year since 1951, Miss Bertha Heller, librarian of the Decatur public library, has had on display lat the library her version of thb egg tree — this year Is no exception. ! Pdijssibly the only .difference this year |is that the eggs are more ■beautifully colored fond in such a variety as to defy description. Below- |the branches of the sriowwhitfe tree, are tiny figures painted and in costumes. Curiously, the heads on these figures are egg-shaped. Why hot? They are eggs! \ There are eggs bf the turkey, ostrich, duck and robin in addition to the 600 chicken eggs suspended from the branches. Each of them is painted, some in solid colors, others depicting on their fragile surfaces birds, fairy characters and heads; j representing . many .different nations. Next to a Chinaman is a red-faced Indian and there are even rtwo completly gold-sequined eggs that took quite a bit of ingenuity to prepare. Everybody is in pn it. explains Miss Heller.

' L'< . ! ;: ' ;'r i ' Fvk ■-. 1 in with their own imaginations to I produce real works of art in the painted-egg field. ! . Miss Heller got the idea two years ago when she read the book •The Egg Tree” by Katherine Milhous, who has, incidentally, contributed an egg for the tree. The first year, says Miss Heller, 200 eggs were on the branches, the figure swelled the following year with about 500 species and now there are at least 600 of them raising the egg from! the somewhat lowly position it once held as merely a food. The custom iof the egg tree originated years ago with the Pennsylvania Dutch who, come Easter time, had all the childrep paint eggs and hang them from the tree. Miss Heller explained that there are other egg trees being erected throughout thi county but the one here in the Decatur library is a community effort and anyone who cares to is welcome to donate an egg. /I ’ 1 I The tree will be taken down after Easter and, says the librarian, until then all are welcome to see the tree and put one of their own painted eggs on it just as the children of the schools are doing. — ; Indianapolis Man * Heads Convention E.
