_'__i)0ito'r1{x pix His Trumped- Up

Excuses

DEAR MISS DIX: Lennie and I have been married five years and have two children. Up to a few months ago he was a good husband, never complained about the house. Suddenly he announced that because of my poor house keeping he did not love me any longer I'm ready to admit I'm not a world beater on housekeeping. but I certainly do an average. or slightly better than average job. The children are properly cared for and well behaved. I am a very good cook. as Lennie himself readily admits. and the house. is kept clean and reasonably tidy.

My weaknesses are that I don't. sew. can‘: run up sllpcovers or draperies, and am not handy with a paint brush. With the excuse that I don't keep the home as he wishes he has been going out with another woman, whom I shall call Sally. when I object, he adds jealousy to his other accusations and tells me I'm childish. Now. how far his (‘uln.plaint.s jllslliled, and should I accept his dates with Sally cheerfully and submissively?

Mona

ANSWER: Lonnie is a \|\‘(-‘nK character. Not only does he lack the decency to resist temptation. but he hasn’t even the moral stamina to accept respoiislblluy for his reprehensible conduct. Trump- ing up reasons will‘ you are to blame for his actions, he traiifers blithely the guilt from his should- ers to yours. He works on the '.hroi'y that if he bellows hard enough, no one will notice his own shortcomings.

HE LIVES LIKE A BACHELOR

As a married man. he has ab- solutely no right to be dating ali- ot-hcr woman. and if Sally had a conscience she wouldn' go otlt. with him. Perhaps _v0ll siren‘! a per- fect hoiisekeeper—»very few women are—but t.hat definitely domn't give him the privilege of acting like a bachelor Calling attention to your minor falllnizs as a house- wife certainly doesn't. justify his mayor lndiscretion. since Lennie has a. great desire to appear in the right at all times. it would be a good idea to let him find out how other people regard his extra- marital entertainnieiit. It certainly won't win the approval of anyone in either family. or of any friend or ncighbor with a proper sense of right and wrong. Public opinion may sway his attention back to home. where nagging or tears would be ftuile.

DEAR. MISS DIX: What ‘should a man think of a woman who, 2-1 hours after receiving an en-

gagement ring asks. for a small sum

of money to take care of some of her obligations. The episode has been repeated several times since the engagement six months ago. B. P.

That Body of Yours

By James W.‘ Barton, 'M. D.

l.\"I‘l<2NSl\'E TREATMENT PROGRAM FOR El.DEIlL\' STATE HOSPITAL PATIENTS As youngsters we thought of a state hospital. often called an asy- lum. as an institution in which they placed crazy people. Yet even then some attempt was made to make the lives of these lidividuals‘more

AN

interesting to themselves and less difficult for the attendants and guards.

One method of helping them help i.hemselve.s was the introduction of occupational therapy. Patients were taught .some useful employment which might mean some remuner- ation to himself or family. at pres- ent or in the future.

Today. an attempt is made to give these patients some form of treatment —— the shock treatment bPlng an example. The patient is given A form of shock—-electric. in- sulin. or metrasol — that lasts but a few seconds but from which the patient becomes brighter mentally. This brightness lasts for a consid- erable time in somexasrs and art- ually brings about a cure in many.

Unforttiiiamly. a number of these mental patients slip back so shock treatment may have to be used a number of times, Shock treatmem is now considered the beat “slngie" method of treatment for mental cases.

In Geriatrics. Allan R€Cl'll5Cl'lll- fer. Stuart Atkinson and John G Freeman. M. D.. state that over- crowded state hospitals are limping under an ever increasing geriatric «elderly persons» admission. I-‘our factors have been emphasized to explain the increase in the num- ber of elderly people entering men- tal hospitals:

1. The proportion of old Phople in the United States and Canada‘ has been increasing stetidily. I

2. The elderly are more prone to emotional disorders and deter- lnrnttive processes. For example. the i950 census showed that of the population 15 years and older in the amt servnd by the Fergus Falls Hospital .approximately l9 per cent were over so, while 38 per cent of new hospital admissions are over 80.

3. There iii a prevailing nega- tive attitude toward the cltlcrlv which was described by Dr. E. Gins- both a feeling and a convlctzwn berg as "an approach based unnii

that the elderly are a lost cause. that those advanced in age are are dnortied tn regression and de-

generation leading to such loss of vitality that they are placed outside of any lcllvl‘ social working group whether family. clan, tribe or soc- iety. Commitment of the aged per- son to a state hospital represents the ftill extent of this attitude,

4. The heightened tern of modern living. smaller families and smaller dwelling units. increased mechanical hazards. and the move- ment of population to towns and cities miikne home care of the aged increasingly difficult.

The tilm is to have an intensive program with a careful selection of the patients who would most bene- fit from a program charsctaised by a "team" approach consisting of I. paycliologlst. social worker. nurse and psychiatric sides. This program

appeals to all of us an it would be I program giving sympathy and

Home Nursing (St. John Ambulance)

Ever have to stay in bed for any length of time?

Chances are that if you did you lound certain parts of your body

getting irritated —-the end of your hips. knees. or shoulder blades.

Continued pressure on the skin. which cuts off circulation. causes the skin to break down and form "bed sores" or pressure sores. St. John Ambulance says this is one of the most important things to prevent when you have some one ill in bad because bed sores are often very difficult to cure.

What causes bed sores‘?

Watch for these things. says St. John:

—l..eaving a patient too long in one position.

—Leaving a patient too long on e bed-pan.

—Ailowing the weight of one part of the body to rest on an- other.

—Casts. splints, artificial limbs, —-Creases in bed clothes and crumbs in the bed.

Bed sores are partlicularly apt to occur over bones where there is little fat or muscle between the skin and bones. The very thin, the very old and individuals with poor circulation need special attention. as do patients wearing casts or splints.

eee

‘ To prevent. bed sores the follow- ing steps should be taken:

The skin should be bathed regu- arly ‘and dried carefully. Bony prominences should be massaged with rubbing lotion at least three times a day. Because bed sores snnieiitnes occur between the fingcra and toes of arthritic patients. their fingers and toes should be separ- ated with a strip of bandage or soft muslin.

Chanfle the patient's position frequently. Ilse rlentt. salt hrri llnfln

(bleaching agents should be avoid- “! Ind IMP well rinsed from the linen.) Keep the bottom had clothes free from IV r I n kl e s. crumbs and moisture
