Two Families In One House?

DEAR MISS DIX: I'm a mother of two children and am a) years old. My family will soon be broken u my husband has been drafted. Our problem is whether I should remain in my apartment. or move in with my mother and stepfath- I)‘

Here, there are some things I will have to puy and bills to be paid. Also. there will be a lot of spare time on my hands but I'll have no one to stay with the child- reri. If I go with my mother she will be company for me. and a hclp with the babies. My rent would be less. and I'd have a chance to save for otir future home. I have an often heard. however, that nu house is large enough fm' two fair.- lliea that I hesitate to make the move. I'\e cnnsitlcred the matter from both angles. but can't seem to reach it dl‘('l.<l0Il.

That Body of Yours By James W. Baron, M. D. CEOIVI’

Many parents know the tcri-ii_v- ing sound at night of one of their children who has developed croup or. as it is called by physicians. acute laryngotracheo-broncliitis in the epidemic form. It is only a few years ago that there was reason for the great fear felt by parents be- cause many of these patients chok- ed to death.

In an address to the members of the Ontario Medical Association 'som€ months ago, Dr. M. E. Hobbs, Millbrook. stated that acute laryn- gotracheo-bronchltis in children in the epidemic form in winch it has been seen for the past two or three years is a most teriiiying iiiiil treacherous disease. Thus in the American Medical Review, Dr. Hobbs states further: "The gen- eral practltloner is often the one called in to see such a case and he must make the decision as to whe- ther or not. the child be sent to the hospital immediately." In these cases a conversation over the tele- phone may not be satisfactory and if any doubt is present the child should be seen at once. no Il‘llllt‘l what the hour."

It is now believed that most of these cases up caused by virus iii- fectlon upon which some other in- fection due to other organs is also present.

When the anxious parent is told that tracheotomy-—open‘ing up the windpipe — is the lifesaving Heat- ment. he is naturally afraid of this "operation." yet we have read of a case in World War II in which a soldier. who had been an orderly in a modern hospital. made an open- ing in the throat of another sol- dier. inserted his fountain pen. and thus enabled the man to breathe until hospital treatment was avail- able. If I remember oorrectly. this dramatic incident. so enthused a wealthy man that he paid the ex- penses of the amateur surgeon through a medical school.

Dr.‘ Hobbs states that the gen- eral public should be educated to the fact. that the modern croupete through which is circulated a mix- ture of air and pure oxygen, with the proper temperature and hum- idity, offers one of the best sale- guards ln preventing obstruction to breathing. For instance. the death rate 20 years ago in this disfuis" was about 30 per cent. '‘If all cases are now treated early and pronipts and

adequately. in hospital where needed. death rate is practically zero."
