Pediatricians Streamline
Child Poisoning Treatment
*T^-75Tfcm.-"?r-=^Today
mothers throughout America can
take heart if Junior swallows too
many aspirin tablets, drinks too
much kerosene or gets hold of
shoe polish instead of ice cream,
for the peditricians today have at
their fingertips data to identify the
poison ingredients in virtually all
products used around the home
and the recommended treatment
of the poisoning.
“Thanks to the splendid work of
the American Academy of Pedia
trics a new manual for doctors
containing a representative list of
694 products that might be poison
ous has been distributed to pedi
atricians from coast to coast," says
Dr. John Henderson, Medical Di
rector of Johnson & Johnson, man
ufacturers of surgical dressings,
baby and allied products. It was
his firm whose grant to the A
merican Academy of Pediatrics
made possible the publishing of
'Accidental Poisoning in Child
hood.'
Written by Dr. Edward Press,;
Chairman of the Academy’s Sub
committee on Poisoning and a
Field Director for the American
Public Health Association, the j
manual represents vast research ;
efforts for Dr. Press wrote to vir- j
tually every manufacturer of pro-i
ducts used in the home. Ingredi
ents that were poisonous in these
products were identified and the
proper treatment to combat the
poisonous in these products were ,
Identified and the proper treat
ment to combat the poiaoning was
compiled.
Treatments recommended repre
sent the combined experience of
hundreds of cooperating clinics
and poison treatment centers *
round the country in determining
the most effective and safest
method of treating all types of
childhood poisonings. Further,
the book represents compilation of
the vast experience of pediatrici
ans and doctors who have made a
special study of poisoning of child
ren.
The products, the poison ingred
ients and the treatment, while
encyclopedic in extent, ia so or
ganized and arranged in the book
so that, the important facts con
cerning practically any household
product can be quickly looked up
and the proper treatment deter
mined. The manual is available to
physicians at the American Aca
demy of Pediatrics, Evanston, Illi
nois.
“This represents the first
time doctors have at their finger
tips information so vital that the
difference of a few minutes may
mean the life of a child," stressed
Dr. Henderson. “This is truly, an
example of another outstanding
contribution the pediatricians of
America arc making to medical
science and the welfare and safe
ty of children.
"As a result of this work, a
child has a greater chance of sur
viving some of the most dangerous
poisons than ever before."
The book notes in its introduc
tion that the number of potential
ly toxic substances in the home
which may be accidentally swallow
ed by children is huge and is in
creasing daily. In 1954, there
were approximately 1,400 fatal
home poisonings and almost a
third were from the age group
four years and under.
This work was inaugurated in
1950 when the Academy named
Dr. George M. Wheatley of Metro
politan Ufe Insurance Company as
first chairman of a committee on
accidents. The work, a continu
ous long-termed effort by the
Academy, was highpointed by Dr.
Edward Press’ research and com
pilations.
Johnson & Johnson’s Dr. John
Henderson, author of “The Com
plete Book of First Aid," has
some words of advice to mothers
and fathers designed to minimize
poisoning in young children:
1. Keep all medicines in a safe
place, preferably locked, and
throw away prescription-type drugs
once their use for the given ill
ness is over.
2. Keep cosmetics, especially
permanent-wave sets and similar
articles out of their reach and
have a separate inaccessible place
for cleaning fluids, rodent poiions
and insecticides.
3. Don’t put chemicals or drugs
In a container that looks like
food — poisoning often occurs
from a child drinking a poison
ous liquid, such as kerosene, from'
Lk' 4
a pop bottle.
4. Never give or take medicine
in the dark—always first read the
label.
5. Never leave food exposed In
a room where you have just used
Insect spray nor permit your child
to play with any plant or insect
spray.
6. Never burn a gas or kerosene
stove or heater in an unventilated
room nor run any gasoline motor
in an unventilated space such as
a garage.
Alertness in the household can
do the most in child protection a
gainst poisoning and stop this kill
er of children.

of making a living. The struggle
for plain economic survival was
uppermost in people’s mind.
The 40s weren’t so frivolous
either. There was the war and
the break-up of famliies and the
loss of loved ones. That wasn’t
much fun. Now we are in the era
of the fabulous 50s and again at
mid-century we hear all the talk
about our youth going to the dogs.
• * * *
There have been dozens of
hearings on juvenile delinquency
and kids taking narcotics. The
papers are full of storise about
young thugs and sex crimes. A
visitor from Mars would be almost
certain to think that this is really
the "lost generation."
As for myself, I have always had
a hunch this was wrong. Back in
the 20s, youngsters were not as
wild as they were painted, nor
were they as radical in the 30s as
some would have us now believe.
As for the present generation, it
seems to me they are well-man
nered. better-educated and more
thoughtful than ever.
I have never been able to prove
this, but now the learned Nation
al Education Assn, has produced
a report which confirms these
feelings.
THE OVERPAINTED PICTURE
—The N.E.A., in a 60-page, well
document ed study entitled
"Teacher Opinion on Pupil Be
havior,” says that any general as
sumption that the nation’s chil
dren have "gone to the dogs” i3
all wrong.
Of course there are trouble
spots here and there. School
are over-crowded and the chil
dren’s courts come across cases
of parental neglect. But looking
at the picture as a whole it is not
as bad as drawn in the dally pa
pers.
Giants Glad
To Acquire
Robinson
: SEE HIM AS "CURE-ALL" FOR
WHAT AILS THEM
New York . . (CNS) . . Maybe
' Dodger fans were upset and in a
turmoil over the Jackie Robinson
sale to the New York Giants, but
the Giants fans were quite happy
about it all. And particularly
Chub Feeney, Giant Vice Presi
dent, who had pulled the "coup."
As he puts it: "I feel so much
better about it now. Just having
Jackie on the club should give us
a big lift — one we needed badly
after losing guys like Jackie
Brandt, Bill White and Willie
Kirkland to the Army. I feel
wonderful now.
“I know Jackie is going to do a
lot of things for us. First, he’ll
Florida Orange Juice Everyw here
Big juicy oranges are coming from Florida now and will bo
abundant all fall and winter. Orange juice is the best natural
source of vitamin C and most economical, so drink it often to ward
off colds this active season.
Luckily, Florida orange juice is available all year because top
quality fruit is processed at its peak and few if any nutrients are
lost because of the quick and expert methods used. Pictured are
the various forms modern orange juice , takes.
The handy No. 303 can and large economical 43-ounce cans of
single strength juice can be stocked on pantry shelves with no
thought of spoilage. Frozen orange concentrate cans tuck neatly
sway in freezer compartments at home and can be reconstituted
with ease. The familiar 3-ounce can has a sister-pack nowadays,
an economical and convenient 12-ounci.r.
Alongside milk containers in dairy counters and delivery trucks
•cross the country is a new form of America’s favorite breakfast
beverage. Called chilled orange juice, it is freshly squeezed, then
poured into waxed containers to be rushed to consumers along with
their dairy supplies. Another variety is labeled store-squeezed; many
super-markets conduct juicing operations during the fresh fruit
season, bottle or jar it for immediate sale. When properly covered!
and refrigerated, both these forms of juica retain flavor and vitamin
C content for several days

We’d been awfully worried about
that spot with White gone . .Then,
too, Jackie can help in other ways.
As I see it, he should help Willie
Mays most of all. He’ll give us a
real threat back of Willie. The
pitchers won’t feel so free to walk
Mays with Jackie coming up next.
They’ll know how tough Jackie is
in the clutch. He should help
Willie just by being on the club.
“Maybe he isn’t the ballplayer
he used to be. But all I can say
is that he didn’t look slowed down
To us last year. He hit .398 against
us in the Polo Grounds."
Feeney didn’t mention the help
at the gate, but he implied that
he expected more Giant fans out
to the games with Jackie. In
other words, the Giants see in
Jackie a “cure-all” — to fix up
i what ails the Giants most — the
spirit and the will to win.

UNION CITY, N. J. — “Humility

of Samuel Cardinal Stritch as arch
bishop of Chicago for “sixteen

brain-pressuring years”, Dan Herr,
publishing executive, declares in
the leading article of the January
issue of The Sign, national Catho
nc magazine published here.
| “At sixty-nine,” Herr asserts,
"the Cardinal, despite the pleas
of relatives and friends, refuses to
lessen the pace.. .making between
400 and 500 public appearances a
year... .His answer is always the
same, ‘There is so much to be
done’.”

and construction buildings to cost
$13,000,000 more.
“When confronted with the
record of these and other equally
impress'..e accomplishments,” Herr
says, “Cardinal Stritch is inclined
to minimize his part in them, re
calling an old Latin proverb which
freely translated, reads, ‘What has
been accomplished by others is
considered to be the work of the
reigning Pontiff’.”
Herr, a writer, columnist-critic
and president of the Thomas More
Association, Chicago book publish
ing firm, quotes the Cardinal's
views on contemporary art, music
and literature, the international
scene, social action, anticlericalism
and integration.
“Cardinal Stritch,” he states,
“still seems puzzled as to how and
why he became the archbishop of
Chicago. His diffident manner,
gratitude for small kindnesses, so
licitude for those about him leave
no doubt of his humility_Today
in Chicago his flock looks upon
Cardinal Stritch with an intimacy,
i tenderness, and a love that
seems unlimited.”
