\ SECTION 2 - PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MAY 4,1979 Spring Cleaning Calls For Caution More eye accidents happen at Jkome than anywhere else. An •estimated 41 percent of the one million Americans who today have vision impairments caused by eye injury suffered the damage around the house. The National Society to Prevent Blindness (NSPB) says that some 90 percent could have been spared. Spring cleaning, with its special hazards, calls for eye safety precautions and protection. The strong chemicals that are needed to tackle household grime and garden pests can cause painful injury, burns and even total blindness if they come in contact with the eyes. "Eyes are especially vulnerable to ammonia, lye and other harsh agents found in today's potent cleaning solvents and insecticides," said Virginia VS. Boyce, NSPB's executive director. The sociey urges homemakers to have foresight to avoid injuries. "Read package label instructions before using^these products," advised Mrs. Boyce. "Many contain special warnings and directions," she went on to say, "and accidents can easily result if they are ignored. When chemicals are propelled under pressure by a spray, the injury is likely to be even more severe. Be sure to check to see that the arrow on the nozzle is pointing away from you when using spray cans. Store these products out of the reach of ever-curious children.

FRONT ST., McHENRY precautions as simple as these," stressed Mrs. Boyce. Eye protection is important whenever power tools like drills, lawn mowers edgers and chain saws are used to get homes and gardens into shape. The rocks, wood chips and other particles of flying debris thrown off by these machines can seriously injure the eyes. "Lawn mowers, which can propel metal and other objects with the speed of a projectile, are a frequent cause of home eye injuries," Mrs. Boyce reported. To prevent painful, vision- threatening injuries from • penetrating chemicals or flying • particles, the society urges spring cleaners and gardeners to protect their eyes with safety goggles. This inexpensive protective eyewear can be purchased at many hardward stores, or check "Industrial Equipment Supplies" or > "Safety Devices" in the yellow pages of your phone book. "If you're using chemical cleaners, pesticides or fer­ tilizers, or of pruning and mowing are on the agenda, these goggles can be sight- savers," Mrs. Boyce said. The society urges this emergency treatment if chemicals come in contact with the eye: Hold the eyelids wide open and flood the eye with cool water immediately, continuing for at least 15 minutes. This can be done by either placing the head under a faucet or pouring water from any clean con­ tainer into the eye. After completing this first aid procedure, seek medical at­ tention., These and other first aid suggestions for eye emergencies are listed on a sticker that can'be affixed to the inside of a medicine cabinet, available free from the National Society to Prevent Blindness, 79 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10016. The National society, established in 1908, is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public and professional education and research.

Woodrow Wilson (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is apsychologist on the Family nhrice and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping - Counseling with the Family of Origin"). Many times in a counseling situation, an adult client will focus on particular areas of difficulty with his or her parents. The issues often times remain unresolved throughout the therapy process, even though the client makes repeated concerted efforts to deal with these feelings. When a client is having relationship difficulties with a spouse or child, the client is urged to include that person or persons in the counseling sessions to directly confront the problem with the other person present. Until recently, however, there has been little effort to include the parents of adult clients in the counseling relationship, despite the fact that the parents have had more impact on the client than any other two people in his or her life. Most people when asked to include their parents (who are often elderly) will have a series of objections: the parents are too old; the problems are irresolvable; they will refuse to come; or they live too far away. It has been the experience of most counselors that include the family of origin in the! counseling process, that the: parents seldom refuse to be included. In fact, it is far more likely for the client himself to resist this process than the parents. Our parents have a special kind of relationship to us, a kind of authority that does not usually completely disappear even after we reach middle age. Most people feel un­ derstandably reluctant to ask questions or confront parents with feelings that have been kept from them for years. The closeness that can result from really talking to parents (with the help and "protection" of the therapist) is astonishing to most of the clients who have chosen to take that risk. Needless to say, the client must have absolute trust in the therapist, before such a risk becomes a possibility.
