Search For Summer Job Takes Real Digging Now

By ROBERTA ROESCH Dear Roberta Roesch: Is it too early for high school students to start looking for summer jobs? My parents say that it is. D. M. Dear D. M.: Am a parent, I hate to say parents are wrong, but yours aren’t “with” it this time. It is not a bit too early to get the ball rolling on summer employment. Christmas Contact In fact, some students have made contacts for jobs as early an Christmas vacation, especial-

ly those seeking summer resort and camp jobs. Better get on the move and begin today to ask friends, relatives and neighbors to let you know immediately whenever they hear of a summer job. Visit your high school office and discuss summer jobs with the school personnel. While you’re waiting for action from these contacts, scan “Help Wanted” pages each day to look for the summer Job openings. Check the other ads, too, and make a list as you go along of the names of other employers who mdght need summer help.

These Are Your Questions

IS it safe for a child who is bora with a heart murmur or one who has had mild rheumatic heart disease to take part in normal school activity? There was a time when children with a heart murmur were limited from all strenuous activity. Unfortunately, this at* titude of overprotection pro* duced psychological disturbances in these children who were unnecessarily made “heart crip-

ples.”

Now, these children with

ftmctional heart murmurs are anoouraged to take part in all forms of exercise. Many have tamed out to be champion

athletes.

Children who have had some heart damage after rheumatic fever must pattern their physical activity after their doctor’s specific recommendation. The extent of the heart damage can be determined by regular, repeated examinations. Physical activity can be increased depending on the p&tient’a progress and his increased heart reserve.

tion. The Salk vaccine is given by injection. The amount depends on the size and age of the child. Booster shots to keep up the immunity are given at definite intervals. The Sabin vaccine is given by mouth. A calculated amount is poured on a cube of sugar and made palatable. Both vaccines are exceedingly safe and produce a high degree of immunity. No child should be deprived of this remarkable protection especially since there was not one single case of Polio reported last year in New York State in children who had been completely vaccinated. * * • Is it possible for some people not to run a fever during an infection? The statement is made by some people that “no matter how sick they are they never run fever.” Almost always this is a false notion. Fever is an indication that the body’s defense mechanisms are actively protecting it against the invasion of bacteria. Only in rare instances of severe illness does this protective device fail. When people are really sick because of severe infections, fever is present. • • •

In every possible circumstance these children should be released from the binding limits imposed on them by the anxiety of their parents. • • • Are there any advantages to the Salk vaccine over the Sabin vaccine against Polio? Immunization against Polio by both vaccines is used. The choice depends on the judgment of the physician who gives

UPI — A mother of six children who needs two heart valves replaced said she had been notified to report to famed heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey. Mrs. Phyllis Wright, 40, said she appealed to the Houston, Tex., specialist after a Chicago hospital decided against surgery for her as “too risky.” “I have three boys to raise so I have to get well,” Mrs. Wright said. “If anybody can do anything for me, Dr. DeBakey, with God’s help, can.” DeBakey on April 21 implanted an artificial heart in a 65-year-old Illinois coal miner who had staked his life on an historic medical breakthrough. The artificial heart worked, but the patient, Marcel L. De Rudder died last week of a ruptured lung. Mrs. Wright’s family physician, William S. Van Bergen, said she had made the appeal to DeBakey herself. He said he was sure DeBakey would not decide what action to take until he examines Mrs. Wright, but that he believed another artificial heart attempt was not in the making. De Rudder, Van Bergen said, was “on his last legs when he went down there. Her condition is not critical.” Mrs. Wright said she had returned home a week ago after three weeks of examination at Wesley Memorial Hospital In Chicago. She had been scheduled for surgery at the hospital April 29, she said, but the doctors there informed Van Bergen they had decided it would be “too risky.” Van Bergen told Mrs. Wright of the decision and she wrote DeBakey. Today, she received word to report at Houston May 19. US. Troops May Como Homo Soon WASHINGTON UPI — The State Department’s chief Latin America official, Lincoln Gordon, told Congress Monday the 6,000 American troops on peacekeeping duty in the Dominican Republic may be coming home soon. Gordon testified that there isevery reason to expect that the June 1 Dominican elections will be peaceful. He said the American troops that comprise the great majority of an interAmerican force there may be withdrawn “in the not too Aim, tant future.’*

NOISES IN HEAD — Dorian Figueron, 88, a Puerto Rican In Miami, Fbu, looks a bit careworn over the noises he bean tn his head. The "dying puppy" noises can sometimes be beard 10 feet away. He’s had three operations, which have helped. He fell and fractured his skull two years ago—that started it Famine Hits Three Million NEW DELHI, India UPI — Three million people in a 10,000-square-miles area in the Orissa state of Eastern India are in the grip of famine, news reports from the area said to-

day.

The correspondent of the Hindustahn Standard said he personally came across mothers who had left their suckling

babes by the roadside because, reduced to skin and bone by hunger, they could no longer

breast-feed them.

He said in some cases parents were offering their children for sale for 50 cents. The correspondent met one farm laborer who had just left the body of his six-year-old daughter on the sandy banks of the river because he had no money to pay for cremation. The child had died of hunger. The landless farm laborers, constituting one-fifth of the population, were the worst hit. One of the causes of famine is not so much the lack of food supplies, which the government claims is adequate, as the lack

of money to buy food.

Only 25 inches of rain fell this year in Kalahandi and the neighboring districts, where the

average fan is more than 50. This meant less jobs for farmworkers who are hired on a daily basis. Wandering like cattle from village to village, these workers now are forced to depend on charity from the government. President-Elect Friend Of US. BOGOTA UPI — President elect Carlos Lleras Restrepo, a 3-1 victor in Sunday’s presidential balloting, said he considered “friendship with the United States” the comertsone of Colombian foreign policy. However, he said, “this does not exclude cordial discrepancies that could arise about certain points of the continental

policy, within the International agencies.” Restrepo made the statement in a victory speech after his overwhelming defeat of opposition candidate Jose Jaramillo Giraldo, a little known lawyer who was the candidate of the National Popular Alliance, a dissident wing of the conservative party headed by former dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla. Jaramillo conceded the election Sunday after 90 per cent of the votes counted gave Lleras 1,353,980 votes to his 583,985.
