Red Cross Asks More Volunteer Aid At Hospital THE WELL CHILD Bodies Of Children Remarkably Resilient By DR. WAYNE BRANDSTADT For Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Wiii illness series of illnesses stunt your child's growth? Doctors formerly answered this question with an unqualified yes. But now, H. V.

Meredith and V. B. Knott have made a study which indicates that for the mos't part this is not so. THEY EXAMINED a group of 66 boys and 73 girls of age 5. They observed the boys for five years and the girls for four.

they avoided having to take into account any influences of puberty on the growth of these children. They made periodic measurements of height, weight, length of limbs, width of face, shoulders, 'Super Paycheck Protection" provides a Lifetime Benefits for sickness, accident one? illness!

They also made a detailed study of the number and severity of the illnesses these children 'had and at the end of the period of study they separated for comparison the 20 per cent who were most healthy and the 20 per cent who vere least healthy.

The healthiest boys had had less than 16 illnesses in the five- year period, with a fetal of less than 65 days of illness. The least healthy boys had had 19 or more illnesses with a total of 140 or more days of illness. Thefr maladies included acute kidney disease, rheumatic fever, nonparalytic polio, anemia, asthma, severe mumps, middle ear infection, pneumonia, severe Influenza, sinusitis, bronchitis, and appendictis. The healthiest girls had had an average of seven illnesses with an, average of 50 days of illness in the four-year period; and the least healthy firls had had 15 or more illnesses with 120 or more days sick. Their illnesses were es- esntialiy the same as those of the least healthy boys.

All of these children had good medical care. The least healthy boys showed a smaller gain in weight and smaller gain in chest, arms, and leg girth than did the healthiest boys, but the least healthy girls showed a greater gain in weigh! and an equal or greater gain in chest, arm, and leg girth than did the healthiest girls. For both sexes these differences were too slight to be considered signifi cant. Other measurements show ed no difference in the two groups It may be concluded, therefore, that a temporary setback due to illness is rapdily and completely compensated for during convalescence. It cannot be denied, however that such diseases, as severe rickets with extreme bowing of the legs, a condition that has become rare in this country can permanently reduce a child's stature same may be said for sev ere and prolonged malnutrition and for some forms of anemia In poliomyelitis that affects onl one limb, its growth may be stunt By KATHY PETERSON Dear Kathy: 1 have a problem.

I'm star- crazy. I'm trying to save enough money to sec my star before I marry. Since I'm 15, I have plenty of time for marriage. My parents think I'm a little silly to plan to drive to California, but I couldn't stand not seeing my favorite star. He will always be my first love.

I'm serious about it. Everyone else would be, too, if they had someone like him to look up to. I'm getting a car when I'm 18. All I want is to show everyone that I know what I want and that I'm not a kid any more. Please.

Kathy, what's your opinion about this? WrHe soon. --So Serious. Kathy 1963 Words Of The Champions No. 1 Dear So Serious: If you're honest, you'll admit that your dreams don't just include meeting your hero. They include a pic- ure of him sweeping you off your feet and making you THE girl in his life.

Right? The chances are just about on a par with the possibility that you'll inherit a million. A GOOD ACTOR is supposed to inspire a feeling of personal contact in his audience. That's his job. Many people can attend a play and be moved by the star's performance. They would consider it a privilege to meet him.

The average person goes home remembering the nice experience, but looking for real rewards in everyday life. Others DO have someone to look up but it's someone they know. When feeling for someone so remote becomes most important thing in your plans, it proves that something is lacking in your personal life. You must be dreaming instead of doing. People will not accept you as a grown-up if you ignore daily problems for wild lopes about the future.

EVERYONE dreams a little, but constant dreaming just develops a deeper and deeper hunger for things you can never have. Really doing gives satisfaction. The need for more volunteers at the Beckley Veterans Administration hospital was stressed by Mrs. Deane Brooke, chairman of volunteer service, at a Thursday meeting of the Board of Directors of the Raleigh County Chapter of American Red Cross. She reported the hospital now las 28 volunteer workers.

Patients leed personal articles, such as! The board voted loi buy these articles following her report. Twelve high school girls, members of the Junior Red Cross, also work at the and Red ross Parties are given monthly for the patients, she added. Mrs. T. C.

Moorefield, executive director of the county chapter, said a $1,000 annual budget was submitted by Mrs. Sherl Winter, program consultant and Junior Red Cross chairman, for work in educational relations. This be used for the Junior program in the county's elementary and secondary schools. Robert Thompson, 1962 United Fund chairman for the chapter, reported on the success of the campaign. Money will be paid to the seven agencies either monthly or quarterly, he added.

Riner, chairman of first aid, reported classes for State Road personnel have just been completed and classes are being scheduled for students at Beckley Junior High School, beginning after the first of the year. Mrs. 0. M. Jones has resigned from the chairmanship of the Gray Ladies.

Mrs. Paul Earwood, of 123 Quesenberny was appointed as 1963 chairman. The meeting was attended by about 15 persons, Mrs. Moorefield said. The next meeting is scheduled the second Thursday in March.

ISO 'fifth SqOS rinl- Code No. 41 REVIEW AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COVERAGE How much insurance should you carry on your family car? Unfortunately, there is no pat answer but if is important to review your coverages periodically to be certain you have adequate protection.

This 5s particularly important in increase of liability insurance--the kind that peys ffie cost of claims against you on accident vhich results in death, injury or property damage to others. Every state has a law under which a driver who is unoble to furnish proof--either by producing on insurance policy or substantial bank balance--that he wcs financially responsible at the time of an accident faces the loss of his automobile registration or driving license, or both. These laws, which are subject to change, specify minimum limits of coverage. You should, however, consider more than minimum insurance coverage, depending on your financial resources and the extent of prepsrty you need to protect. Without adequate coverage, a judgment against you could take away your home and life savings.

Many outo owners also insure their cars For "comprehensive" and collision damage, for the costs of msdical care and even for accidents caused by uninsured drivers. Comprehensive insurance protects the car owner from loss by fire, theft, windstorm, hail, Hood, glass breakage and many other perils. Your independent agent can provide advice about the insurance coverage best suited to your family needs. R. D.
