THE MeHEWHY PLAJHDEALEB Thnndar- April 24. 1992 lalth Talk* Fractures A fracture s is a break in the Continuity of a bone, according to the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society III a HEALTH TALK. The break !• complete if the whole bone is broken through, while it would tee incomplete if only part of the bone were broken. A fracture is called closed when the bone is broken, but the skin remains in- > . t*pt; it is compound when there also a break in the skin. 3ecause of the break in the •kin, there is danger of foreign material or bacteria entering from the outside and causing infections in the wound and in the bene. This is a: serious complication and it is . why compournfractures are considered surgical emergencies. 1 When a bone breaks into two pieces, a simple fracture occurs, if more than two a comminuted fracture has occurred. Some fractures are called pathological. In other words, the pier- Son who has all the symptoms oi a fracture, yet has suffered only a trivial injury or gives no history of injury, has a pathologica. fracture. Just a slight twist oi, the arm or leg may have occurred. Usually, on x-ray examination this person will reveal evidence of a . pre-existing disease process which has lessened the strength of the bone. All fractures should be immobilized as soon as possible. In the home, for example, when a person slips and incurs a fracture, it is important to call the doctor immediately. Until he arrives, an outside support can be given to the injured part by tying a pillow about the leg or ankle. Ordinary newspapers folded into heavy thicknesses can bo used to support an arm, particularly if it is necessary to transport the patient a nearby hospital. If the thigh is involved a long firm stick or board can be securea with bath towels, handkerchiefs, napkins or other usually* thandy equipment. It should be remembered that in the fractures of the thj#h bone, it is most essentia, that there is complete immobilisation. It not, there is danger oi the patient suffering shock from movement of the fragments. This could prove very serious. Some people Wonder why thej are slow in bfealing fractures They do not r|p|ize that all persons do not ^rtianufacture ne» bone at the same rate. Some ai\ very slow in growing bone ant this leads to a delayed unio; while othecs may . develop nor Union, which is a failure of healing of the fracture. Many people Wonder if thej aches and pains associated wit}, the healing process of broken bones are real or imaginery. They are definitely feel, If a part of the body has been immobilized in a cast for a pesiod-of time, there would be a stiffness in the joints and injured part When removed from the protective cast. Add to this the fact that the area around the broken bone has . -!-r too and one can understand why there could be pain on attempted motion or weight bearing. Any swelling that occurs when the cast is removed is due to a temporary disturbance in the circulation of the injured part. Fractures are serious injuries and unpleasant complications may result. If it is possible to render first aid to the victim of a fracture until the doctor arrives, do so. If in doubt, do nothing. NEW AMUSEMENT FEATURE MAKES AMERICAN DEBUT "The most spectacular amusement park feature to be imported from Europe since the ferri.c wheel will make its American do but at Riverview Park this senson. The new ride is the "Rotor," invented in Germany but manufactured in England, which ranked as the biggest sensation of the Festival of Britain Funfair in London during the summer of 1951., - Housed in a 60-foot' structure of tubular steel, timer and canvas shaped like a small gas-holder, the rotor is both a spectacular ride and an outstanding spectator attraction. It is a huge vertical drum that rotates at high speed, "plastering" its 20-odd passengers to the wall by centrifugal force. When the drum has reached maximum speed, the floor of the rotor is lowered, leaving the riders transfixed on the sides of the drum. After a brief period of high-speed spinning, the floor is elevated to its normal position and the Rotor slows to a stop with the passengers again standing on the floor. Terraced galleries around the drum will accommodate approximately 400 spectators at a time, to observe the antics of those patrons who choose to be actus; riders. Hie rotor maintained a perfect safety record throughout the long run of the Festival of Britain Funfair as well as at subsequent fairs in England. - Backslider**™^'- --- - In Philadelphia, not long after police had praised 'a 20-year-old youth for his aid in catching two payroll bandits, they had to arrest him on a charge of robbing a man of 90 cents.

These women are associated together for fun rather than for service. Since service is the main theme of the Auxiliary and its related organizations the Parley does have a pet project also. They furnish entertainment and provide gifts for hospitalized war nurses. In McHenry there are only a small group of past presidents because the Auxiliary is still in its infancy. The McHenry past presidents' roll includes Catherine Weber, Minnie Green, Christine Krinn, Pearl Pietsch, Eddie Meath Myers and Henrietta Vycital. Last week the McHenry past presidents entertained at a dinner at the Legion home. The dinner was prepared and perved by, Delia Freund, Jeanette Vance, president of the auxiliary this year, and the two Miller girls, Dorothy; and her sister-in-law, Lil, with the assistance of a few others. There were women here from most towns in the county. Alice Barbian kept the crowd entertained and happy with her music. She promoted some good harmonizing of Sweet Adeline and other group singing while the "actors" prepared for their parts. She also furnished the music for the more serious moments during the meeting. She is adept at both types of music. The first Past President of tho county, Mrs. Celia Kuppe of Woodstock, was present as was this years president, Henrietta Vycital. Emily Pagels of Harvard is vice-president, Margaret Meyei of Fox River Grove is secretary and Helen Merwin of Woodstock is treasurer. Eddie Meath Myers was the guiding light of the evening's en tertainment. She presented a humorous reading of "family portraits" in a little girl costume in keeping with the characters of the portraits which were sketched by a relative of Eddie's. The next bit of tomfoolery was a travesty-written by Eddie on the present political situation. She called It "The Thru-Some T r u s o m s " .

The next skit was based on Chloe, with musical accompaniment by^Uice Barbian and Eddieas the "gold-digging Chloe. a young colored gal, who harasstd her boy friend with her unreasonable demands for luxury in return for her rather shopworn affection. Music and acting in this was also very good. Pearl Pietsch was the; long-suffering boy friend. All in all, the Evening Was u huge success and left the ladies eagerly anticipating the next meeting ojt October 16 in. Crystal Lake,-' . • MP.* by VH» • : NEW ORDINANCES * A license fee of $5 for both male and female dogs, $15 for a. cigarette license, 25 cent penalty for parking meter violations, increased fees for firemen and the chief and an increase in tavern^ and club liquor licenses from $500_ to $800 per year are included in new ordinances passed in Crystal Lake. Approval was granted all five ordinances but two dissenting votes were cast on two of them. On the matter of increasing parking meter "fines" from 10 cents to 25 cents, the motion was made by alderman Peter Kelder and seconded by alderman Andrew White. Mayor George Krause said he was not in favor of the meter fine increase and thought that it would bring in very little additional revenue. He said that in neighboring cities meter violations cost 10 cents and that he thought Crystal Lake should go along the same as the others. ESCAPED AUTO ACCIDENT IN 1851 "LUCKY. YOU" i fifpv-i How lucky are you? One good way to find out is by studying the 1951 story of traffic aocidents in the United Static just published by a large insurance company. This latest edition of the annual series is called, appropriately enough, "Lucky You." They make the point with facts and figures that if you were not involved in a serious auto accident last year, you are indeed lucky. If you are a speeder, for example, the 1951 record will show you how lucky you are to be alive and well. Nearly 14,600 persons were killed and more than half a million were injured last year by drivers who were exceeding the speed limit. One out of every three drivers involved in 1951's serious accidents wa i speeding. Last year, as in 1950 and previous years, excessive Speed was far and away the most dangerous mistake in driving.
