THE TROY RECORD, TROY, N. WEbNISbAY MORNJN6, DICIMBIR 29, 1971 Child Care By WILLIAM G. CKOOK, M.I). 1 read with interest the letter from a mother whose 4 year-old daughter suffers from frequent irritation of the vagina Slaving had the same problem two years ago, would like suggest that the mother look further than foods for causes of the problem. 1 found it necessary to use a mild soap, no bubble bath and to use only detergents for the wash that did not contain any enzymes.

1 hope the above will be of some help. Mrs. P. M. A--Thanks tor your letter.

Vaginal irritation due to bubble bath and detergents must occur very commonly, since dozens column readers wrote in to tell of their own experiences. So I'l pass your information along. In one ol your articles, you replied to a letter from mother whose 2-year-old son was suffering from Stevens-Johnson disease. 1 have a 2-year-old granddaughter who has exactly the same condition as described. She has been hospitalized innumcrabl times with a temperature as high as 105 degrees and rash all over her body.

The doctors here do not seem to know how to treat her She is at the present time in the hospital and the doctor did tel us there was danger oi brain damage if she continues to have these attacks accompanied by such high fever. I would appreciate any and all information you could senc me. Mrs. P. T.

M. A I appreciate your concern over your granddaughter, anc I hasten to reassure you that I feel your doctors are doing everything possible to treat and relieve her condition. The problem that your doctors (and all doctors) have in treating the Stevens-Johnson syndrome is simply that we don'l know what causes it. Although some cases seem tp develop as a sensitivity reaction to a drug, in other cases the condition appears spontaneously. Happily, in most children with this disorder, they ex.

perience only one attack. But in others, there's a distinct tendency to recurrence which may continue for several years. There's no specific treatment. Antibiotic drugs help only if there's an associated bacterial infection. The cortisone group of drugs also are not curative, but may help supress or block some the rash and other symptoms in severly ill children.

I feel certain your doctors are giving your child competent treatment. (Bed-Wetting Problem?

Employers are leery of hiring me because he tells them I'm impossible to work! with.

Hov can I get around this stigma? MALIGNED A--References are an import ant part of the employment pro cess on the American business scene. However, some employ ers do abuse their prerogative and lose sight of their respon Eibilities in this area. Employers realize personality problems exist and you can lake the sting out of your superior's tirades by explaining you understand your previous boss is still quite upset. Don't go into detail and don't distort the facts even if thej turn out somewhat unfavorable to you. The easiest way to keep your facts straight is to tell the truth.

In the future, never let your relationship with an employer reach such a point.

part of my duties with my company, I have to keep all home addresses and telephone numbers of the employes. One of the men here made some very obvious passes at one of the young married girls and she went out to lunch with him several times. Now she has left her job and he keeps bugging me to give him her home number, which apparently has been changed.

I just hate going to school and I hate being there am I hate doing homework, I hate school all the way around. Is there any way to keep from going besides having a private teacher? My family can't affort anything like that. School (Ugh!) Girl in Alabama! (A.) Take another look at school.

You meet friends there Without school you might have no friends. You might be very lonely. You might have no one to talk to. That would be a life much more to be hated than go ing to school. In school you are learning the patterns you will use al! your life: How to discipline yourself, how to meet schedules, how make friends, how to mix work with pleasure, how to get along with people, how to carry out orders (give them, too, in a number of student activities), low to find solutions to prob' ems big or little.

Please do not let a temporary negative attitude ruin your life. Please slay in school. MOM SAYS NO: (Q.) My boy fiend's mother thinks I'm the vrong girl for him. She wants me to be Miss America, get on he honor roll, go to church ichool instead of a public ichool, and get at least a bache- or's degree in college, preferably a master's. I am a nice girl and have good manners, and I do all ight in school.

But I can't be tliss America or any of those )ther things. The result is that my boy friend has to slip out to ee me and he has to call me vhen his molher is not at home. Ve love each other and I do not hiak she is fair. I do like her, though. What can I in daryland.

Ate Pet Foodi So He Might Help Others Ohio (AP) A Columbus garbage dump worker who died earlier this month at 85 ale pet food so he could give more of his $500-a-month salary to the poor, it has been revealed. During the last three years of his life, William Knapp kept enough of his salary to buy pet food and pay rent on the ramshackle, four-room house where he lived; a relative said. The rest he gave away.

None of his friends or relatives know where the money went. "He did it kind of secretly," said Mrs. Kessie Barton, his sister-in-law. "There wasn't a person who would ask him for money for a good reason who wouldn't get 1 said the Hcv. Harry Me.

ycrs of First Pentecostal Church. When Knapp died Dec. 16, ho left $95 and a few possessions. His friends paid for his funeral. Knapp died at University Hospital, where Meyers urged him to go two days before his death, even though Knapp i like hospitals, "Willie said the Lord always tromised him a clean bed to die in," a friend remarked.

"It was a prophecy come true for him." 000. Authentic Regency furniture, endless wall-to-wall carpeting and high ceilings dripping crystal chandeliers "cost." What Borge did was sell his Hock Cornish Hen Farms and quickly shift the moneys from that to this. The house, which he speaks of rapturously, has 108 doors including closets. One side, completely glassed, allows him to enter the front door and see out the other end. In his more serious moments he says that on a clear day you can see forever (sigh).

his most serious moments he worries about how the easy accessibility could he the prop for a depressing cops-and-robbers routine. When a i switches to his wife, he's quick to stipulate that she. shops for nothing but her lingerie. He chooses her Pauline Trigere dresses, Norman Norell gowns, Birger Christensen furs. Sure, she's got a king's ransom in jewels but: "They're all locked up in a bank safe." The man is irrepressible.

Almost always on stage. Playing a game. Doing the slapstick thing which he feels is expected. Projecting the kind of harmless nonsense which is his signature. As a result, straight-line questions i become straight-line spoofs: Me: "Are you still interested in raising Rock Cornish hens?" He: "No, they do it themselves." Me: "I hear you're a fish lover." He: "Yes, I like i aides." Me: "You used to smoke.

Like for 45 years. You don't smoke cigarettes any more just a pipe. What happened? He: "I heard all that junk about throat cancer. So I gave up cigarettes. Didn't bother me.

Except for about a year." (To punctuate the latter point, pretends to have shaky hands and rolls his mischief-filled eyes toward the heavens.) Victor Borge is a romanticist. Nothing must destroy man's illusion about woman. The Borges have separate bedrooms. His is pale beige. Hers is dark brown.

Why, my dear, too much husband-wife "sharing" is disastrous the No. 1 romance killer, the end of the honeymoon. The Borges have a never-to-be-deviated-from marital rule: "We always dress for each other." There is another dimension to his sentimentality. He is rich and oh, my, does he envy the simple life! One day he was driving to Mew York and passed over a jridge. There, peacefully fishing in a pond, was his foreman on his day off, of course.

How passionately I envied him," says Borge. "How I wished I could be there, in his place, fishing. I thought: I'm paying for his salary and I'm off to perform. He's having fun." When the bee stings the French and Stanbury. Frequently he takes his wife to Paris for a buying spree at Christian Dior.

"I do have the good life," he says again. Is Borge convincing himself? Is adding up the trappings to make it come out an even dolce vita? The giveaway is the fact Borge loves to talk about costumes. Particularly hats. He's got all kinds. Bakers' hats.

Seamen's hats. Hunters' caps. I like to pretend that 1 AM what I envision," he says. His favorite pictures are offbeat hat pictures. It's a kind of escape mechanism that costs more than the price Borge: of the hat.

"I'm building a 65- foot power boat to move at high speeds." Before Borge leaves for a legal meeting, he has to resort to the funnies again. He says when his mother saw him, she was rushed to the hospital. We're back where we started. War Seen Only Answer In Mideast BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) The central commlltM 6f Egypt's Arab Sociilist Union reiterated Tuesday its resolution that war is the only way for the liberation of Arab lands from Israeli occupation, the Middle East News Agency said. The statement was issued after a joint meeting of the.execu- tive committee and the Egyptian Parliament Cairo to hear reports by Foreign Miru'i- ter Mahmoud Riad and.

Minister Mohamed Sadek on the political and military aspects of the situation in the Middle East, the Egyptiin news agency added. President Anwar Sadat addressed the closed meeting then answered members' questions regarding his efforts for a settlement in the Middle East. The statement charged that 'the United States and Israel were trying to replace French and British colonialism in the Middle East by subjecting and dominating the Arab peoples." "Israel, since its establishment, has not concealed its aspiration for a greater Isratl which extends from the Nile to the Euphrates, so armed aggression against us has not ceased "The only way to counter this barbaric war is by a just war from our side," the statement said.
