Judy and Danny Russow Will, Insurance Changes Not Same WASHINGTON (UPI) Consumers should not assume that changing a will means changing the beneficiary on a life insurance policy, "Many people make the mistake of thinking that by changing the beneficiary in their will, they have changed the beneficiary on their life insurance policy as well. This is often not the case," says George K. Flasket, President of the Independent Insurance Agents of New Jersey. Many states require that the holder of the life insurance policy submit a change of beneficiary request directly to the insurance company that issued the policy. Correction Fluid New Schoolyard Drug NEW YORK (UPI) The new drug being passed around school playgrounds these days is the same typewriter correction fluid that can be bought in any office supply store, health officials say.

Officials have been inundated with reports about abuse of the substance since March, when the medical examiner of New Mexico reported the deaths of five adolescents who had inhaled the fluid's vapors, then suffered sudden cardiac arrest. "We've known about the abuse of correction fluid for 10 or so years," said Charles W. Sharp, a biochemist at The National Institute on Drug Abuse. "But it seems we're hearing more about it in the last months." Officials say the fluid is an inhalant drug, along the lines of model airplane glue and pressurized cans of whipped cream that have been sniffed by people looking for a cheap way to get high for years. Correction fluids contain trichloral ethylene and trichloral ethane solvents that keep the fluid liquid but which also provide a mild feeling of euphoria when inhaled, said Sharp.

"It's similar to that giddy feeling of alcohol," he said. "It doesn't last as long. They have to sniff every few minutes to keep the feeling going." Both drugs enter the blood through membranes in the nose, then race through the heart to the brain, where they stimulate the nerve endings. It is not known if the drugs cause permanent brain damage, but health officials believe they can prod the heart into an episode of irregular beats that could lead to cardiac failure. "It could happen with just one exposure," said John E.

Smialek, the chief medical examiner of New Mexico who first published reports of deaths associated with the fluid. Trichloral ethylene and ethane are not believed to be any more addictive than coffee, said Sharp, who said they could, however, lead to abuse of other, more dangerous drugs. "Kids give it up after a while because it's not 'cool' anymore," he said. "They may very well take up drugs that are considered more desirable by their group." For a more potent high, some users will sniff bottles of typewriter correction fluid solvent, which contain higher doses of the two drugs. "The little bottles fit right up the nose," said Sharp.

"It's like buying a drug with a needle on it." Other users pour the contents of the bottles into paper bags and allow the fumes to build up for a few minutes before inhaling deeply. Secretaries, writers and people who use typewriter correction fluid daily are not at risk, said Smialek, who said the fumes from the small bottles are not strong enough to affect people who use the products correctly. The manufacturers of Liquid Paper, a leader in the industry, are aware of the abuse of their product and have agreed to include in its formula a dose of foul- smelling oil of mustard to discourage inhalers, he said. There is no move among health officials to ban the sale of correction fluid to minors, such as the ban put on model glue a decade ago, said Smialek. "The stuff we are talking about also holds true for Scotch Guard," he said.

"There are always substances that can be inhaled. We want to educate people to the problems with inhalant drugs the possibility of dying." While the use of correction fluid may be on the rise, the overall abuse of inhalant drugs by teenagers appears to be fairly minor. A 1984 survey by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed one in nine high school students had tried inhalant drugs at least once but only one fifth of a percent had used them within the past year. Approximately one tenth of a percent used them daily, according to the survey.

"Even so, five deaths in New Mexico, and just recently a sixth one, is a significant number when compared to our overall population," said Smialek. "I know from talking to other medical examiners from other states this is not isolated, we are not unique in this." Smialek said correction fluid is popular among school children because it is cheap and available. "No one looks too suspicious carrying around this material," he said. "So in that sense it's'safe'." For the same reason, sniffing correction fluid has become popular among impoverished adults, said Sharp. Recent studies have shown widespread problems with inhalants among poorer Mexican populations in Texas and American Indians in the Southwest.

"They would probably give correction fluid up if something better came along," said Sharp. "But this is all they can afford."
