f THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1946 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN Accidents to Babies Can Be Prevented By EDWARD 8. KITCH Chicago, Oct, 31 -- (CP)--Patal accidents among infants are com- mon--and common sense can pre- vent them, Mrs, Anne H, Barnard, director of e Women's Division of the Na- tional Safety Council, knows the hazards and how to avoid them. Here is her advice to young mo- Accidents caused 58.9 per cent of the deaths of children under five last year--the lowest rate on record for this age group, Mrs. Barnard says most child deaths were caused by burns and suffocation, Poison ing, drowning and falling contribut- ed to the total of 7,912 child fatali- ties occurring in 1044. She says even the safety pin is unsafe because of the dangers of pricking a child or of its being swallowed. A mother so often sets a poor example by holding safety pins in her mouth while changing a diaper. Safety pins should be stuck into the mattress or cake of soap. When not in use the pins should be closed and put out of reach of busy little hands, A safety pin should not be used to fasten a blanket around an in- fant. This practice, a survey shows, is the principal cause of death by smothering. When placing a baby in its crib, + Mrs. Barnard suggests that no pil- low, no fuzzy or painted toys, be placed in the bed with him, A mo- ther should be sure the paint on the child's bed does not contain lead, Jest the infant's chewing tendencies bring about lead poisoning. Insecticides, medicines, sleeping tablet--it takes only one--deodor- ants and lye should be kept away from a child's reach, Electrical appliances should be carefully checked for possible faulty connections, Electric wall outlets should be protected, and a mother should be cautious with electrical heaters when bathing a child, Protectors should be placed a- round steam and hot water radia- tors, Mothers in rural communities should watch their babies when ex- Jeotd stoves are used for heating. alkers and creepers should be kept indoors when leaves and brush are burned during the fall cleanup. When a mother is busy in the kitchen, junior should be placed in a pen or highchair. Many children have been scalded to death because of over-fascination in mother's work. Unprotected wells, cisterns and garden fish ponds are potential hazards. Mainly, Mrs, Barnard says, it's a good fdea not to leave an infant alone for too long. Film Stars Stage Mannequin Parade + London, Oct. 31 -- (CP)--A man- mequin parade, featuring 150 of the most beautiful screen stars and models in this country, was the midnight highlight of a ball, spon- J sored by the Guild of British Crea- tive Designers, held recently at London's Albert Hall, Prices for tickets and seating ac- commodation varied from $277 for a loggla box of eight tickets to $2 for admission to a seat in the balcony, and proceeds went to the three principal charities of the textile in- dustry. The Albert Hall scene was tele- vised for the first time, and to light the largest interior ever televised 350 kilowatts of light were required, a battery of arc lamps throwing light from the top gallery. The ball itself was broadcast in the evening television program, but for the midnight fashion parade a preview was shot in the basement of the hall, where a studio was in- stalled. Fashion houses were left with an acute shortage of mannequins dur- ing the week of the ball, as nearly every "named" model was kept with rehearsals for some days before the show. Twenty-five leading designers showed fashions for home and ex- port markets in the high-speed par- ade, with six fashions a minute cir- culating in the light-flooded arena. % MR. and MRS. CLAIR JARED ALLEN who were married here last week. The bride, the former Evelyn Violet | Cochrane, is the daughter of Mrs. R. H. Howard of Oshawa and the late Mr. Cochrane, The bridegroom is the .on of Mrs, Norman Allen, of Bow. manville and the late Mr, Allen, ~Photo by Campbell's Studio Problems of Nurses Are Same Everywhere Problems of the nursing profes sion are the same the world over, with nurse shortage one of the chief difficulties everywhere, sald Miss Anna Schwarzenberg, executive se- cretary of the International Coun- cil of Nurses, who has recently re- turned from Europe, and who ad- dressed the banquet held in connec- tion with the annual gathering of the Registered Nurses of Ontario' in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, last evening. Miss Schwartzenburg, who gradu- ated in Vienna, took post-graduate work in Bedford College, London, and received her B.Sc, degree from Teachers College, Columbia Uni- versity, is Princess Anna Schwar- zenberg of Austria, and the only ranking princess in the nursing profession of the world. But no one has yet sat down and figured out what the demand is likely to be within the next 10 years and the possibilities for meeting it, sald the ICN secretary. "People are deeply concerned, innumerable sur- veys and much study have been de- voted to the subject, but what we have to do is face squarely where we are heading. It is not enough to study the situation--we must do something about it, If we realize we are not going to have enough nur- ses we must cut the demand on the nursing profession." Remarking that she had attended six conventions in various coun- tries since last July, Miss Schwar- zenberg spoke of the conference of the northern European countries held in Oslo in the late summer, and of the co-operation between these countries to make this gathe ering possible. Speaking of conditions in north- ern European codutries in particu- lar, she sald there was a striking similarity between the thinking of nurses there and here in Canada. And, since problems in both places are similar, naturally the nurses over there are anxious to exchange ideas for overcoming them with Canadian nurses. Nurses here could give practical assistance by making |X it possible for scme of these nurses to come as delegates to the spring meeting of the International Coun- cil of Nurses, to be held in Atlan- He! Oy, In May, she said. ss Jean I, Masten presided at the banquet, attended by about 700. Special guests were about 60 stu- dent nurses from the various hos- pitals out of town and in Toronto. Deer sometimes eat their shedded antlers for their calcium content. High Blood Pressure Cause Still Unknown One of every three deaths would be postponed, years of worry, econ= omic dependence and illness would be remitted if high blood pressure and its related diseases could be abolished, This is the opinion of two Ameri- can medical men expressed in an article in a recent issue of Hygela. They are Irvin H, Page, M.D., asso- clate member of the Rockefeller In- stitute and doctor of research for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and A. C. Corcoran, M.D., of the Rockefeller Institute Hospital who specializes in the physiology and pathology of hich blood pressure and kidney disease. The authors state that as yet the causes of this condition are still un- known, However, it has been re- cognized that it occurs in the course of such diseases as Bright's diseass, inflamation of the kidney and tu- mors of the adrenal glands, It is also know that certain gen- eral measures can be taken to re- lieve high blood pressure. Among these are the avoidence of unpleas- ant emotions such as fear, anger or anxiety which may temporarily in- crease arterial pressure; moderation in diet and, in the presence of ex- cessive fat, deliberate, slow reduction of body weight to a level preferab- ly a little less than normal for the patient's height and age. SQUADRON DISBANDED London--(CP)--No. 147 Dakota Squadron, R.AF. which carried 152,000 passengers and 42,000,000 pounds of freight in two years, has been disbanded. Hollywood Happenings By BOB THOMAS Hollywood, Oct. 31--(AP)--Ingrid Bergman fans (and who isn't?) won't be getting their usual ample supply of their heroine on the screen next year. If her stage play, "Joan of Lorraine," is a success -- it opened in Washington, D.C., the other night--she is contracted to be in it for eight months. Then she'll probably return to toil for Alfred Hitchcock in "Under Capricorn," from the novel about 1900 Australia. Enterprise will have a virtual Berg- man monopoly in 1947; "Arch of Triumph" is her only new picture. After all these years of announce- ments and postponements, it looks as if Toronto-born Mary Pickford finally is getting close to beginning production on a picture, Hollywood skeptics will believe it when it hap- pens. / Ray Milland may be tired of cos- tume pictures, but apparently he'll do "Ivanhoe" . . , The Sinatras are completely domesticated again and Nancy will accompany Frank East for his singing engagement at the Waldorf-Astoria. Friends hear that Toronto's Bea Lillie is heading here for the holi- days and may talk a picture deal . . Painter Norman Rockwell Is doing portraits of Edge" cast , , /Ray Evans and Jay Livingston, who clicked with the song "To Each His Own," have the chore of writing "Dear Ruth" and "My Favorite Brunette," from the pictures of the same names. Errol Flynn is reported collecting $1,000 a day for the use of his, yacht by the Orsen Welles company in Acapulco . . . M.G.M.'s reissue of "Rage In Heaven" was a wise move; it was a well-acted forerunner to the present "Psycho" films.
