OBSERVE STATE NURSES' WEEK 24-30 With the theme "Refresh: A Call to Service", Illinois Nurses' Week has been proclaimed for March 24-30 by Gov. OttoKernerto focus on the "thousands of Illinois nurses not currently in active practice who can return to take part in the challenging new world of nursing." Through the Illinois Nurses' association's federally-funded inactive health personnel project, special thrust is aimed at promoting new refresher courses in junior colleges, hospitals, adult divisions Of high schools and health agencies or in expanding existing programs to retrain nurses. Some 3,000 inactively practicing nurses indicated in a special survey of the Illinois Study Commission on Nursing that they are interested in returning to the profession. Because most of these nurses are married with children, the IN A project's aim is to help provide the shortterm courses to update their skills, and also to encourage child care programs, working hours and days which are adjustable to family situations, and satisfactory salary which will adequately compensate the nurse mother for her professional skills as well as for the homemaking services she will need to hire someone else to provide for her while she works. In addition to activities and displays which highlight this aspect of the Nurses' Week theme, the twenty district associations of INA will remind current practicing nurses that "refresh" involved continuing education to keep up with changing medical technology and health care through workshops, programs and publications of the INA. During this sesquicentennial year of Illinois, the Nurses' Week observance will also review the history of the profession in the state since the turn of the century and the formation of the state association in 1901. PROBATION REFUSED When his appeal was denied Joseph Belongia of 8909 Acorn Path, Wonder Lake, was sentenced to the state penal farm in Vandalia for one year for driving with a license suspended or revoked. Observe Poison Prevention Week (March 17 - 23) Q. We hear a great deal about the potential hazards of common householdproducts.To what are they referring? A. We are referring to the type of product commonly found in the home for housekeeping and medicinal purposes. Among these are the detergents used in automatic dishwashers, the furniture polishes and waxes, the drain and bowl cleaners, the lighter fluids used for outdoor grills and the pesticides. In addition, aspirins and other salicylates, and tranquilizers are among the medications involved in the large percentage of the accidental ingestions. Q. If there are so many hazardous products on the market, why are they permitted to be sold? Many of the estimated 250,- 000 products available at any one time to consumers may be harmful when ingested or swallowed - depending on the amount consumed. On the other hand, when used as intended or directed, these products can lighten housekeeping chores, provide more leisure time, and increase standards of living. We can see, then that our objective must be the proper use and storage of these products, with particular attention given to the instructions on the label. Q. Why do so many poisoning incidents implicate young children? Are parents not giving pro-' per supervision? A. The inclination of a child progressing from infancy to age 5 is to explore his environment. This is a natural tendency. Exploration involves seeing, reaching and tasting. Children have learned from their very beginnings = mother's breast, baby bottle -that they can achieve a gratification from placing things in their mouths. Until they become old enough to differentiate between edibles and non-edibles, and learn to protect themselves, we must free their environment from hazards. Interestingly enough, a review of the reported clinical cases indicate that children actually were under the supervision of adults in 95 percent of such incidents. The problem appears to be that parents are unaware of the potential hazards of daily-used products in the home - products, which can be purchased with ease in pharmacies, grocery stores, hardware stores, paint stores, and the like; which are advertised daily in newspapers, on radio and on television. (It should be noted that these advertisements are geared to these substances being used as directed). The situation is further aggravated by the factthatparents do not seem to appreciate the relationship between their children's development and the accessibility of the various household items. What is at present not within reach of the child who cannot walk or climb will soon be accessible to him or her «as he or she grows. Thus, the parent must change her patterns of storage as her youngster's capabilities increase. Q. What should I do if I suspect my child has swallowed a large amount of aspirins? A. Contact your physician. Generally recommended first aid procedures for this type of ingestion involve inducing the child to vomit (emesis). If you do not have a personal physician, contact the emergency room of your local hospital. Aspirins - and these are not restricted to the baby type - are the largest single item reported in cases of accidental ingestions among children less than 5 years of age. Parents should pay particular attention to the storage of this product, locking them up when not in use, and not taking , them in front of children. In no event should they be left on a bedside table - not even for an instant. Qo Does this same type of first aid apply to all other kinds of products or situations? A. Definitely not. Most medical authorities do NOT recommend that vomiting (emesis) be< induced if the product contains a petroleum distillate (such as lighter fluid, some furniture polishes and waxes) or a corrosive (such as drain or bowl cleaners). Always read the label. In addition, vomiting should NOT be induced if the child is unconscious or convulsing. Q. Can you give me some information on locking devices for medicine cabinets? A. Several companies are manufacturing medicine cabinets with locking devices. These are both for the sliding-door, as well as swinging-door, types. . SHOP IN MCHENRY If you are building or remodeling a home, you should specify this type of installation for your bathroom. In addition, several complies are^marketing chests with locks; these chests are designed to be inserted into conventional medicine cabinets. Other expedient alternatives are the use of drawers or trunks, which can be locked. One enterprising housewife attached a sliding bolt at the top of her linen closet and uses this area to store her medicines. EXHIBIT TREES The Midwest Bonsai society an organization whose members live in the greater Chicago area, are exhibiting their dwarf trees at the World Flower and Garden show in the International Amphitheatre, March 23'through 31. The MBS is dedicated to the promotion of greater knowledge and appreciation of Bonsai, the Japanese art of dwarfing trees - which is sculpturing in living form. Each "tray tree" is a duplication in miniature of nature's often gnarled and twisted trees, or that lone majestic sentinel one has come upon in some remote wasteland. The art of politics is changing. The smoke-filled room, for example, is likely to be fresher than the air outside. BIRD CLUB MEEMBEm BUSY "FLYmQ ABOUND" McHenry County Bird club" members do "fly around". A bus load of them traveled to Milwaukee Saturday, March 9, but two had not returned from Mexico, another just back from California was packing for the southeast, several were still in Florida and one pair were enroute to Africa. Those who were ohauffeured to Wisconsin included two new members of this McHenry county chapter of Illinois Audubon society. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond C. E. Paige, newf residents of Crystal Lake, who previously joined the national Audubon society and a Florida unit. There were also three non-members, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Anderson and Mrs. Gunnar Olsson, of Crystal Lake, who, like all the others spent thoroughly enjoyable hours at the Milwaukee conservatories and aviary. The next Illinois Audubon society wildlife film is the last of the five free, full-color motion pictures scheduled for their 1967-68 season. It will be shown in the James Simpson^theatre of the Field Musedm of Natural History, Roosevelt road and Lake Shore drive, Chicago, at -2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 31. As many McHenry county members as can will be attending. Roger Tory Peterson himself will lead a rare field trip to equatorial volcanic islands inhabited by some of the strangest creatures in the world - giant tortoises, sea-going lizards, penquins, Waved Albatrosses, and the beautiful Forktailed Gull. Through his camera the famous ornithologist will show the unique plant and animal life that gave Darwin the clues to his theory of evolution.
