Use Caution in Administering Aspirin to Young Children

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MUD. ASPIRIN seems such a harmless cure-all to the adultthat caution is sometimes forgotten In Its indiscriminate use fdr>children. It is not a panacea for all their fils, and at times, with improper use, it is a peril to their health. Aspirin poisoning may be due to a venturesome child gening access to the aspirin bottle and swallowing too many pills, |but a number of cases of aspirin poisoning must be laid to lack of knowledge on the part of the parents as to its proper use for children. Effect Unpredictable There is a certain amount of risk taken when administering aspirin to children, because its action is somewhat unpredictable. When too much aspirin is taken the first evidence of overdosage may consist of headache, "dizziness, ringing in the ears, difficulty in hearing and dimness 14 yisldh. There may also be some nausea and vomiting, along with? diarrhea. Depending upon the makeup of the child, there may be different reactions to the drug. Certain children may be allergic to the aspirin, adding aether danger factor. In certain diseases, this drug can cause a severer drop in temperature, which may cause a shock-like condition. In the case of typhoid fever, aspirin can -■cause'’a drop as great as< nine

His country’s well-being is a matter of importance to the entire free world. 0 O I— Henry Laurens of South Carolina, a revolutionary patriot who succeeded John Hancock as president of the Continental congress, has a new claim to fame. A letter reveals that ,he was the only American to be imprisoned in the Tower of London. During the Revolution (Laurens was captured while en fbute to Holland to negotiate a loan for the colonies. The British, discovering his papers, threw him into the Tower and declared war on Holland. Eventually he was exchanged for the defeated British general, Lord' Cornwallis, and became one of the Bigners of the treaty that ended the reVolution and gained our independence. 1 . — Empire Slips:— Perhaps the most significant event of the century is the disintegration of the British empire. This phenomenon has obscured by the Hse of the Soviets and by the emergence of the United States as a leading world power. . ■ 1 Prime Minister Churchill once asserted that he would not preside over the dissolution of the British empire. Yet he is now doing just that. India is an independent republic. Britain’s hold on the Sudan is broken. Pakistan has decided to become a republic but to maintain its ties to the Commonwealth of Nations. This decision has been in the making ever since 1947, when India gained its independence and Pakistan became a separate state.' Britain no longer rules the commonwealth of nations. Instead, it offers leadership and cooperation. Where once Britain ruled large areas such as India with an iron hand, now it exercises absolute control only in small colonies/ The dissolution of the Empire has taken place in the last 50 years, a period crowded with tremendous events of whiclj none have been more upsetting than Britain’s loss of power.

degrees in an hour, which of course could prove to be quite dangerous. Carelessly Administered Many mothers are accustomed to taking two or three five grain aspirin tablets for trivial complaints or even to “invigorate" themselves. The mother might then conclude that the simple five grain aspirin is a small enough dosage for an infant. However, parents should learn that aspirin, when used for children, must be used with great caution. The dose must be related to the child’s weight and, of course, used when, the physician prescribes it. It is only by this knowledge that the number of cases of aspirin poisoning will be lessened. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. L. R. A.: My husband has RH positive \blood while mine is RH negative. We have had two normal children, but are afraid to have another because of this RH difficulty. What would you advise? Answer: Marty couples have had as many as ten to twelve normal children even though there was an RH incompatibility between husband and wife. I , think it would be advisable for i you to consult with your physii clan as to whether or not to defer i having children since you have . had no difficulty with your prevl- > ous pregnancies.

Juvenile Delinquency r i*' ■ i »-» ’» t * Is Pressing Problem

(Editor’s note: Thia is the fifth in a series of juvenile delinquency. The following dispatch tells of the problem that confronts a big city.) By JOSEPH M. FINNIGAN SAN FRANCISCO, UP —The recent escape of 12 youths from the San Francisco youth guidance center dramatized a juvenile delinquency problem which, authorities say, is getting worse. The youths fled from the modern five-milllon-dollar center after forcing a supervisor to surrender his keys as he prepared to show the inmates a movie. One of the escapees, age 16, returned home just long enough to threaten his stepmother with a knife unless she gave him money and the keys to the family auto. His father disarmed him. but the youth ned, only to be arrested in another city. Another of the escapees, also 16, stole a rifle from apartment house and terrorized the city for 24 hours before he surrendered. Teen-age violence exploded *in another incident involving the 16-year-old passenger arid the 17-year old driver of a car which killed a police captain’s son. The driver was accused of drinking before the accident. He was charged with manslaughter. The passenger was to testify in the case. But, according to police, the driver and six other teenagers saw to it that the young passenger wouldn’t talk —at least for a while. They visited the prospective witness’ home and beat hhri severely. These are just of the rising wave of juvenile crime which includes teen-age prostitution, drug addiction, armed robbery and all the other categories of crime ranging from misdemeanors to murdej*q. City officials, members of the police department’s juvenile bureau and youth guidance workers agree there is a nrise in the number of violent acts committed by awl girls upder 18. Official figures show tpat 1,875 juveniles were arrested last year for a variety of crimes ranging from robbery and homocide, including one murder, to rape and prostitution. These figui\es cover only the cases of Juvenile delinquents who were caught and brought into court. Philip Green, chief juvenile probation officer, said that In the first nine months of 1953 there has been a 47.5 percent increase over the comparable period last year in complaint involving boys who committed illegal acts which required formal court* action. He said the increase tor girls has been 25 percent over 1952.

Juveniles who violate laws and unwanted children from broken homes are sent to the youth guid--ance center. They are kept there about 10 days and then transferred to other institutions, sent to foster homes, or paroled to their parents. Elmer Gaetjen, superintendent of the center’s detention quarters, says tht center is overcrowded. At present there are 135 Boys and 45 girls at the center. He also complains that there are not enough supervisory employes and that officials “should have more authority to discipline the children under our care.” According to Gaetjen, juvenile delinquency has no favorite breeding ground — one neighborhood is as good, or bad, as the next. It is high in the farm belt, too, he said, as in urban areas, as evidenced by a recent gang fight between the Kirffc City, Calif., high school football team and a gang of Spanish-Americans. The fight resulted in the death of one grid star and sent a half dozen other youths to the hospital with serious knife and brass knuck wounds. In their fight against juvenile delinquency, authorities are getting some help from churches, local clubs and youth organizations. With delinquency on the rise, they acknowledge they have a hard job on their hands. \ \ ’ CT r iMSBWia New Address |\ [ Here is a new service address for Dan Mills, son of Mr. and Mrs Robert Mills of this city: A/2C Daniel J.

Junior Red Cross Enrolls Members Junior Red Cross member* of Adams county are doing more than just talking about the state of the world today. These boy* and girls, just starting a new membership enrollment campaign, are putting words into action to create better understanding between Adams county and the rest of the world. Last year 3,203 boy* and girl* of Adams county in the parochial and public schools enrolled for service in the Junior Red Cross. Included in this service was the packing of gift boxes which were sent to needy children in various parts of the world, and a cash donation to the national children'* service fund which is used to help children in time of disaster here or abroad. Miss Glennys Roop, Junior Red Cross chairman, ennumerated the above record and said that much of the credit for the success of Junior Red Cross in Adams county is due to the schools which have given time and effort to help the program. Through the support of teachers and school officials the program was given its start and carried on from there. Teaching the ways of freedom including freedom to join in a good cause, is one of the goals of American schools today. Throughout schools, the American Junior Red Cross is working- to demonstrate the principles of freedom. By their services to others in the United States and around the world, Junior Red Cross members are making an important contribution to the future of peoples everywhere, Miss Roop commented. 1 ,
