(CP Photo) FOR BETTER HEALTH Early Care Prevents Complications Of Burns By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD PROPER early care can often prevent the almost nightmare complications of severe burns, such as infection and excessive scarring. All burns require a lot of individual attention with no short- cuts. A physician should be in at- tendance as soon as possible with any severe and extensive burn. He will be able to treat whatever shock is present and relieve severe pain and suffering. If the burn occurs around the joints of certain parts of the arms, legs or neck, it may heal with a large amount of scar tissue forma- tion. This scar tissue is not only disfiguring, but can also cause a deformity and prevent the person from properly using"the affected part. FACIAL BURNS A burn on the face sometimes leaves disfiguring scars, or fixes the chin firmly against the chest, or makes the face so disfigured that the mouth cannot be opened without first closing the eyes. Once the wound is allowed to heal by scar tissue and the exten- sive scarring has appeared, it be- comes wu very difficult task to cor- rect this condition. After the patient is in good con- dition following the severe burn, and there is no infection or open wound present, skin grafts should be begun. Not only does skin graft- ing give a better appearance to the wound, but it will also prevent much serious disability. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. M. P.: Is the frog test for pregnancy reliable? Answer: Yes, this test is quite reliable in most instances and usu- ally faster than the normal rabbit test. Another factor about this test is that the frog does not have to be destroyed after the test has been completed. POTATO WORRIER Many Causes For Lower Consumption By ARTHUR WASHINGTON (AP) -- On the wall of his office hangs a chart at which William M. Case can look --gloomily--all day long. t shows the number of pounds of Potatoes eaten each year by each person in the United States. As the line nears the present, it staggers and droops almost as alarmingly as a sales record for high button shoes. "In 1910," Case said sadly sur- veying the chart, '"we ate 180 pounds of potatoes per capita. In 11950, it was down to 100 pounds. We've got to eat more potatoes." POTATO'S GOOD FRIEND Case has.been one of the pota- to's best friends ever since his boyhood days on a farm near Es- therville, Ia. Later, he worked with potatoes as a horticulturist and marketing expert in Colorado. Now, at 57, he's executive director of the National Potato Council, and a fulltime ambassador from the potato kingdom. Case lists several §asons why the potato, once such an essential {in almost every American's diet. (has faltered so much in the past | half century. : 1. Good times. "Potatoes. tradi- tionally, are 'the poor man's food. Now he's able to afford more frills than just meat, potatoes and gravy." | | Of Spuds 2. Less manual labor. "Did you know potatoes are the ideal energy food? Well, we don't do so much manual labor, so we don't need so many potatoes." 3. Dieting fads. "I don't know why potatoes are always blamed. Why, a piece of pie is three times as fattening as an eight-ounce po- ato, a doughnut twice as fatten- 2." 4 4. The working housewife. "She dashes home at 6 o'clock and hur- ries to get a meal ready for her husband. She doesn't have time to peel potatoes." CONSUMPTION HIGHER Nevertheless, Case is sure pota- toes are making a comeback. The chart doesn't show it, but con- sumption has crept up to 105 pounds per capita. Case believes that modern health studies, which show so many mean more potatoes for youngsters of the future. He also believes the potato may be the best line of defence against starvation in case of an atomic war. | "Potatoes can be grown in every state," he said. "They're also the one crop that's hard to destrcy. Invaders can burn storage places and destroy the grain, but they can't plow up all the potatoes." Enterprising TV Program Said Violation + PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Tele- vision station WPTZ Friday de- fended its filming a police arrest and interrogation as "news that the public is entitled to know through its newspaper, radio and television shows." Stan Lee Broza, WPTZ program manager, issued the statement in reply to a Philadelphia lawyers claim that WPTZ invaded the right of privacy of his client by filming the police proceedings and then showing them on a news telecast. On Aug. 24, WPTZ telecast films of the apprehension and interrog®i- tion of two men in connection with a $3,178 payroll robbery last June 11. WPTZ news editor Dick Mec- Of Rights Cutchen and camermen Le Roy Bell were present during the ar-! rest and questioning by Det, Sgt. David Litvin, at which time they made the films. A lawyer for Al White, 21, one of the men charged Wednesday be- fore magistrate David Keiser that the WPTZ action constituted an in- vasion of his client's right of priv- acy and that "he was arrested, tried and convicted on a television program before he was arraigned before a magistrate on specific charges." White and Samuel Hatchell, 22, | both of Philadelphia, were held | without bail by magistrate Keiser on burglary and larceny charges. poorly developed youngsters, will F PRINCE ALBERT By Lightning E.
