CEREBRAL PALSY PATIENTS CAN NOW BE GREATLY HELPED

For many years a. child afflicted with cerebral palsy in brain dis- turbance that causes paralysis, par- tial paralysis, even more severe crippling than infantile paralysis. speech defects) was considered. in addition. to be feeble-minded and incapable of being helped mentally or physically. Today our nerve specialists are finding that about 60 per cent of children with cere- bral palsy are educable with intel- ligence quotients (I. Qfs) from '10 to 130.

About the only treatment here- tofore has been given by the 07' thopedic surgeon. but it is now recognized that more than mus- cles are involved in this disease, although muscle training and mus- cle balance are important. occupa- tional therapy for the teaching of hand skills, for self-help in eating and dressing; speech treatment to promote the ability to communi- cate as well as to improve breath- ing. chewing, sucking and facial contraction patterns; special edu- cation to participate in class situ- ations as with normal children so that they become an integral part of society; drugs to decrease teii- sions and rigidities and control convulsions.

In the Journal of the American Dental Association. Dr. Manuel M. Album. of Philadelphia. chief of the dental service of the Philadel- phia society for Crippled Children states:

"Undoubtedly. for the first time In the treatment of cerebral palsy patients, a drug has been found which is safe and harmless and yet produces a satisfactory degree of relaxation. Mephenesin enables the dentist, heretofore afraid of mgiicung injury to himslf and to the patient. to treat cerebral palsy patients successfully."

The drug was found to relieve muscle spasms and rigidity and could be given without fear that the drug would lose its effect if given often or regularly.

An unique feature of this drug is that in the usual dosage it has no depreaant effect upon the

LADIES: I

By RICHARD KLIINEII. NEA Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK-(NEA)-some of you old-timers may remember a man's garment with the quaint name. "vest." It vanished. almost. from the American closet some- where between Pearl Harbor and chlorophyll.

But now it's coming back. Not as a matching part of a suit so much as a separate, contrasting piece of wearing apparel. The fancy weskit (which is a. vest with delusions of grandeur) is now blooming on some of New York's most distinguished male torsos.

This is a sudden, and almost in- explicable. trend.

"Three. four months ago," said a vestless clerk in a fancy Fifth Ave- nue shop, "you couldn't have given this thing away."

The thing he was pointing to was a Tattersall weskit. a white job with a plaid of brovm and red stripes. Looking at it. lying on the counter. it seemed lik: something only a movie actor or rookie Lvmkle would wear. But. when you try ii on. you begin to feel definitely deb- onair. Also a .little warmer.

I I It

As the man was saying, the de- mand for fancy vests began pick- ing up in the late summer. Nobody qiilte knows why, but there are a few loose theories kicking aroma: the garment district.

"Just like any other fashion for men," said a vestless executive of the fashionable Witty Brothers, firm, "it started in England. Some lord or other was seen wearing one. Then the boys at Eastern colleges copied it, and we were off."

A vestless expert on men's clothes had another idea. Men's overcoatsp, he said, aren't as heavy and buikyi -and warm-as they once were. For sioiple weather protection. men needed something else in wear. Or- dinary vests they consider old-fasli- ioned. sweaters aren't dressy. armor

plate is passe. The weskit filled the hill.

0 O 0 Ever ready to cash in on a trend. men's wear manufacturers have

been quick to jump on the vmt wagon. Now they're making separ- ate vests in solid colors-such as. no

Industry le;de:s .say it is eco- nomically unsound to sell a vest with a suit these days. except with certain ultra-conservative models. Most men don't want vests. they say. - "Usually," said a vestlem manu- facturer. "if a customer sees a vest on the hanger with the suit, he'll say. "What's with this suit. Left

For Tomorrow

WHILE the sustained gaiety and enthusiasm of holiday zest may be having normal reaction. it is likely that there may be some measure of paying the piper with an irk- some but insistent need for count- ing the cost. particularly if the generosity and extravagance might have dug into the budget. It is in- ventory time in the home as well as in the workaday world. But on the whole. the prospect is not gloomy. Also. there could be a worthwhile raise in sight. a pro- motion or token of preferment.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may find their anniversary branching out on a pleasant, happy and pie- thorlc note. With promotion. pre- ferment, favors and a generally fortunate and propitious time ahead. Opportunity may come knocking at the door with expan- sion, rich fruition for worth-while” talents. ambitions and accompllsii- ments. It is a fortuitous period for reaching out for public place. hon- ors, as well as for social aims. New ventures should thrive and invest- ments are not too hazardous.

A child born on this day has much promise of a successful. pro- gressive and perhaps conspicuous career-influential and honored.

s it eally Love?

From Short Acqueinfsnco If Would Seem Doubtful,

.j...... .

DEAR MISS DIX: I've known at bay for two months. and he lug been called back into as ice. I-la says he loves me and want: to marry me. My parents liked him until I told them how-we felt. now they are furious. We are willing to wait until June. but no longer. I am 17, he is 24. We are too much in love to wait until he comes out of service.

, K. '1'.

ANSWER: You can try talking younelf.inte believing this is true love, but the overwhelming chances are that it's merely infatuation. On In short an acquaintance. love seldom develops. Your feeling can be put down to the emotional ltresl of your friend's-call to service. A uniform does something to at girl that transcends all sense and sensibility. Waiting until June will probably cool your ardor.

DEAR. MISS DIX: I am very interested in I girl of 18. Even though her behavior is ebovc reproach, her parents will seldom let her go out with boys. I havq thought of asking them to accompany us- to a show sometime. so they can see ilie sort of entertainment we like. I M. S. ANSWER: When parents take this unreasnnable attitude toward a girl of 18, they are actually reflecting on their own methods of child rearing, A parent who has done a good and responsible job of bring- ing up children should be able to trust them by the time they'vI reached I8. .In order to allay your own doubts. it would be a good idea to talk to the parents. ask them what their objections to you are. and perhaps you can come to an understanding of just what priv- ileges their daughter may enjoy. Push this idea of taking them out with you sometime; maybe a little entertainment is whet they need

Muriel Nlseeu

I am in love with a fine man who has fallen All I want to do new is hurt him. How can I do it? . D. ANSWER: Why waste time on vindicliveness! It's a futile and harmful emotion that will wind up harming you much more than your faithless sweetheart. Use this energy in finding another beau.

DEAR MISS DIX: in love with a married woman.

DEAR MISS DIX: Seven years ago I married a widow of 32, fourteen years my junior. In the past year she has left me twice. The first time she came back after ten weeks. now she has been gone three weeks and I don't know where she is living. She has a good Job. but is in bad health. Before she left she said she wouldn't

return until I promised to adopt the illegitimate child of I friend of

hers, I don't feel like taking on this responsibility. E. E. WIFE LACKS STAMINA

ANSWER: Your wife certainly seems to lack the physical and

mental stamina to undertake the care of a child; this. coupled with your own understandable disinclination to the idea. would make it vi highly undesirable project. Part of your wife's present trouble may be worry over the friend. Why not get in touch with your wife and suggest that proper adoption authorities he approached to take care of the child. I think if her mind it put at rest about the baby Ihelll get over the idea of adopting it herself.

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married nine years. during which my husband worked three. We have now been separated since July. My six-year-old daughter has become a different child since her fath- er left. She has gained weight, has a good color. and a much better disposition. - My problem is that I don't have the money for a divorce. and my husband keeps calling me at work. I'm afraid of him. and if he doesn't stop bothering me I'll have to give up my job.

M.W ANSWER: Your husband isn't likely to keep away on your say-so: therefore it will be necessary for someone to warm him not to bother you. The personnel department at your place of employ- ment may be able to help you. I-would also suggest that you consult your clergyman. whose authority may be respected by your husband. Either of these two agencies will direct you to legal help, which you need in establishing your status as soon as possible.
