HI■■aaM v MB m MBM bMM MMMM Poor Surgical Risks

By HERMAN N. MUM MJ. THE surgical patient as a rule concern* himself with his surgeon, the hospital, and sometimes the operation, but he rarely pays a great deal of attention to the type of anesthesia he is to have. And yet, the anesthesia he receives is probably an important teeter In determining whether of not the patient will survive the operation. ‘ Doctors know that certain types of people are poorer risks than others anil that certain diseases entail greater risks than others. These are the reasons why a physician in carefully selects the anesthesia that the anesthetist win use oh his patient. It it also a reason why the administration of anesthesia has become a highly specialized field with doctors themselves performing this task. vvwrwftigiu reopiw a xubk The obese patient M often a poor risk. Th* airways to the lung* are most easily obstructed in an overweight person, and the exchange of oxygen and anesthesia In the lung is also impaired. Anesthetists are now circumventing this difficulty by putting a tube directly into the trachea so that the airway Is not Obstructed. . Another poor risk tor surgery, as far as anesthesia is concerned. Is the patient who has eaten just prior to surgery. These persons may vomit during the operation, causing the food to enter the lung and bringing about severe lung complications. Persons who imbibe too many alcoholic beverages ar* difficult . to put under anesthesia, and are wnwally given a spinal type of amaasMnMimmK s_i

War IL His name sound* Frenchy enough to have some support as * patriot who would like to establish a stable government. Considered a moderate radical Socialist, the newly elected bead of the French government got the support of the DeGaulttsts. The Premier's most daring statement was that if he didn’t settle the Indochina Wat within 30 days he would resign. The French Assembly may hold him to that promise and it the conflict in Asia coni tinuts, another upset is likely in the shaky government. No Decisive Verdict:— The seven members of the Senate subcommittee that heard two million words in 3« exvruiating days of hearings of “who lied” In the Army-McCarthy squabble, indicate that no clear or decisive verdict Will be reached by the probers. The hearing is referred to as the bitterest political drama ever staged In the U. S. senate. Anyone who read or watched the televised testalimeets of the hectic session will agree that the hearing got sidetracked in a personality fight between the contending forces. The committee of seven, of which Chairman Karl Mundt gave the Republicans four and the Democrats three members, will split in their decision, according to statements made by the men at the close of the hearing. Chances are that three different reports will be given to the people. With Mundt, two other Republicans will concur. The three Democrats will sign, a report. The seventh member. Sen,’ Pfit- ° ter of Michigan, contends that both sides are wrong and intends to ask for resignations from men who played a prominent role in the hearing. His plan nut? include Army Secretary Stevens. Testimony of members of the committee and others called before it was interspersed with fid-dle-faddle and much fiddle-de-dee. The American people will have to form their own verdict, tor the committee is not going to give a decisive answer to the questions that originally came before the august body. Any way the show Is over and the bill will have to be paid.

anesthesia rather than ether oi the other types of inhalatio* anesthesia. Other Problem Patients Os course, the anemic patient Is always a serious risk. The oxy-gen-carrying power of the blood I* reduced, a factor that can prove quite serious during surgery The person who is in shock when an operation is begun as, for example, a person suffering from a ruptured ulcer, is always quite a poor risk. Usually the blood pressure must be raised and the shock overcome before the operation can be performed. Irritable Hearts Persons with thyroid disease have extremely Irritable hearts and are quite difficult to operate on. Anesthesia may make the blood pressure go even lower in persons with an already low pressure. A person with heart disease needs special care, due to the fact that he can go Into complete circulatory collapse during surgery. Certain people have a tendency to hemorrhage. The surgeon will at all times have blood and other clotting mechanisms available sc aS to prevent an uncontrollable hemorrhage from occurring. QUESTION AMD ANSWER 'llr. * H : Is ragweed prevalent in Europe? I am planning a European trip and have hay fever. Answer: In Europe the amount of ragweed and the type of ragweed is basically different from that in the United State*. Many Americans suffering from hay fever are free from attacks while in Europe.

. SYNOPSIS After a long and ardent courtship, Joan Foster and Todd Hunter had set a date tor their weddta*. ft Wl<not he easy to live graciou«fa».*BSTodd a meager echool-teacher salary, nor to share the manse in New Jersey, with bis trail father, the minister, and Ms gentle though possessive mother. But Oils simple beginning will mean living their lives together, and that is what they want most of art. Joan and her mother discuM cuptiuri plans with Joan s old classmate. Betty, who is already happily married and the mother of a lovely little girl. They decide upon a formal church wedding, with Todd's father officiating. There will be a reception and simple .buffet tea later at the Foster home. The widowed Mrs. Foster and Todd's parents, too. are well pleased with this Impending alliance. And now with the wedding but a few days off. guests from outarrive, and many gay parties CHAPTEN ELEVEN THAT had been night before last. What had happehed yesterday? For a moment Joan could not remember. Oh, yes! There had been presents coming in all Friday morning —the way they had been for the last two weeks—with Elaine unwrapping teem and listing them for Joan hi her bride’s book. Then Betty appeared again just before noon. Then the dreases had arrived. Never mind if it was almost the last minute. They had arrived. And of course these must be tried oh immediately. All of them fitted perfectly except Betty’s. Her* was too tong. But Anne Bannock, who taught sewing and home economics, had promised she would fix anything teat needed fixing. Such a relief not to have to dash in to New York about the matter! By then it was well after noon and Elaine had taken Joan and Pamela and Betty and Joan’s mother and Todd’s mother out to lunch. Trust Elaine to do the sumptuous thing! She had engaged a huge limousine that would accommodate teem all and off they had gone to a new and charming inn located on top of the Palisades, where they could look right off over tee Hudson river. It had been beautiful. Diane had not been with them. She nad insisted upon remaining behind and taking charge of whatever needed to be taken charge of, with Jack as her right hand helper. There had been the vases to collect And the punch glasses to get over from the church house. And the folding chairs and long Cables. Os course, the janitor and Jack were tp do the actual moving of the things, but Diane had felt that she ought to be there to superintend. Perhaps, too, she was a little keen over Jack, Joan thought suddenly. Th* meh—Todd and Don and Tom—who were all free as air, had Ene in to New York for A stag ich. Michael was not able to join them as he could not get away from his job in Poughkeepsie until five o’clock that afternoon. Friday night Last night It was then that Mrs. Hunter had invited the bridal party over to th* manse. She had really done thihgs up beautifully. Mrs. Brown bad come

0 — -0 Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE 0 Index File Instead of using a scrapbook, it would be preferable it the housewife would buy a quantify of small 3x5 cards at any stationery store or printing office. Paste each household suggestion or recipe on * card and then file it alphabetically. Label* When canning, instead of using the paper labels, that often come oft; try using a small strip of adhesive plaster. This is easily put on and it sticks.

in with a neiper ana naa served a marvelous turkey dinner at the old mahogany jpble in the large manse dining reeha. There had been ’ candlelight and fragile china and tee Hunters’ lovely neirloom silver gleaming on the table and great Empire sideboard. The girts nad all worn semi-formals, and it had been at that party that Joan and Todd had handed out their gifts to their bridesmaids and ushers. Joan had selected small handbags of some new fabric that was multi-colored and bright and dainty and teat would go with any summer dress. Todd “had chosen neat little leather week-end kits. Joan sighUfi and stretched now in blissful contehtment, remembering it all The buffet supper on her porch. The dancing. iW knoenlight swim. Elaines lovely luncheon. The dinner at the tnanse. And, finally, the rehearsal in the church The girt* tn their semi-formals had looked lovely coming down the aisie as they had practiced. Joan’s thoughts went on. She had everything anyone’s heart could desire. All the satisfaction in th* world with her bridal party, with the weather, too, and even with the gifts among which there had not been a single “white elephant” And hardly even a duplicate. It was amazing, really. Somepne must certainly have passed around word concerning her choice of a pattern for her crystal, china and silver, because she had received almost a dozen of everything. Nor was that afi that had come to her. The whole town, whether invited to tee reception or not t»d apparently wanted to honor the young couple for friendship’s sake. She had ready felt overwhelmed. She began to enumerate to herself tee presents that she could remember. Some of the gifts were elegant some simple, all given straight from the heart. Joan reviewed now. the long hours of toil spent m fixing their apartment After Todd came home from the city they had toiled together. They had dragged out old boxes and barrel* left there tor ages when the rooms nad been used for storage. They had filled tn cracks where the plaster had fallen out They had extracted bent and rusty nails from the woodwork and scrubbed the floors and washed the windows. Then they had begun painting. They had whitewashed the ceiling, they had spread *, warm and cheerful yellow over all the walls and they had covered the wide floor boards with a serviceable gray. Today their little apartment presented a spotless and inviting appearance. . _ Her dream of buying antiques for her new home had simply gone out ot the window. There was no money. They would have to get along with whatever the two families could spare them from their homes. “At least,” Joan thought, "our bedroom will look nice." Her glance moved around her

"It’s yours, darling” she had said. -Your father and 1 bought it for you years age end it s yours.* Joan was even going to have the pale buft-coiored rug, the gold satin quilt and the Sower-patterned turquoise chintz hangings at the windows. Jack would move all these things over to the manse tomorrow, after she was gone, with the help of Don and Tom. But the living room, which was also toserve as their dining room— Well! Right now It was a hodge-podge. Everything ijad been dumped into that one room. Everything. All the gifts, except the China and silver and glass, were there and all tn a nuxed-up mess, Joan s memories came to an end as she heard Annie Stirring about in the kitchen downstairs. Annie had slept here tast mght, in the little sewing room at the end of the hall, instead of going back to her shack in “Texas town.” Dear, farthlui Annie: She was getting as much joy out of this wedding as anyone. , “You got somethin’ old, somethin’ new, somethin’ borryed an' womethia’ blue to wear when you'* > bride, Miss Jone?” she had asked. “Yes, Annie. Gram is letting me have a lovely lace handkerchief that was her mother’s. That’s the, old thing. And Pm borrowing my mother's pearls for the something borrowed. Ahd the store in New York sewed a tiny blue ribbon on my petticoat for the blue item. And, of course, everything else is new." “Dat’s good. Now here’s sump’u else." Ahd what did she do but produce from a tiny battered 'hite box a worn English coin that she said Joan must wear in her slipper “to' luck.” It was a relic from Revolutionary days that had belonged to the family in Virginia tor whom Annie had worked before she came north. And it had been given tb her by her former mistress just before Annie had set forth into the unknown. “It done brung me luck. Ain’t 1 landed tn de Foster famMyf And been hpah evah since. Now I gives it to you kaze 1 ain’t got /Kuuse tor it no more. No chilluns. No nothin’. You’se my chile. You keep it" Surely. Joan said to herself, there was nothing left for anyone to offer her or do tor her on this day of days! And thinking this, she slipped from her bed and went to stand by the window in a deep and quiet thankfulness. After a moment a humble little petition rose in her heart “Let me be worthy,’* she murmured. “Just let me be worthy of everybody's generosity and good wishes and love and trust. But most ct ail— of Todd.” (To Be

He advises the clean-up and spray pro- , cedure as the best possible insurt once against insect contamination > later on. Federal food and drug laws prohibit weevil and other insect fragments tn food products and for - this reason It is becoming more s difficult tor the grower to dispose • of infested grain. Research shows that nowhere In • Indiana does wheat become weevil - Infested in the field. Leet year I numerous samples of grain were - taken direct from combines and sealed in plastic bags. No insects developed in any of the samples, i verifying the results of previous studies. Archbold says this work shows- again that insect infestations in stored grain are started 1 by those insects which overwinter t in unclean bins and in other graias i and livestock toed stored nearby, t He suggests that storage bine 1 and all surrounding areas be f sprayed with 2%% DDT. This i percentage can be obtained by ad- , ding 2 pounds of 50% wettable powder to 5 gallons of water or by . diluting 25% DDT emulsion with ! nine parts of water. In addition to clean-up and bin s spraying, the agent recommends several other practices that con- . tribute greatly to the safe storage . of wheat and other small grains. , These are fa) store only grain with a moisture content below . 14%: (b) store near grain as far away as possible from old 1 grain and livestock feed; (c) adjust combine to prevent broken kernels, chaff, and other debris; (d) add a grain protectant dust to the wheat as it is stored; or (e) examine grain frequently and fumigate if ' insects are found.
