Now she is working toward another comeback. And most days at the Losj Angeles Swim Stadium, her four reasons for retiring wateh critically from the pool's edge as she goes through her practice dives. They are: Mike, 8, Maureen, 6, Randy, 5, and Cynthia, 15 months. Three-Time Olympian If the training goes as day by taking the youngsters with her to the pool. They have a picnic lunch in Exposition Park.

At night. Pop does the baby-sitting. Her housewife duties don't allow hci as much practice time as other divers have, she says. "Most of the girls either go to school and have the vacation, or work in the winter and take the summer off for practice. My homework goes on all the time." There are other problems.

Juno is the wife of Russ Irwin, head of the parts department for an aircraft company. They were married in 1950. She was an Olympian in 1948, 1952 and 1956. When she competed in the 1952 games, she was months pregnant "Lack of divers" is the reason she gives for attempting her fourth comeback. "Diving seems to be in a period of lull among the women in this country right now," Mrs.

Irwin says. "The coaches should be striving to develop new talent, for without it some other nation will be winning the Olympic titles." Long Layoff She has been training since May. "I was anxious to get back into competition." she says. "I haven't competed in three years and that's the longest layoff I've had." Mrs. Irwin's figure is testimony to the worth of her daily exercise.

Cute, freckled and a compact 109 pounds, she looks younger than her 30 years. But she doesn't feel that youth is a necessary requirement for diving. "Diving needs perfection and' to get it you must have experience," she says. "I think in this sport experience is more important than youth." Special Problems Being a hou.sewife has its drawbacks.

lAP New It goes without saying that youngsters don't like shots. And believe it or not, doctors don't like to give shots to children. Doctors don't like to hurt youngsters. They give shots only because they know the child will benefit from the medicine poked him this way. Most shots hurt very little.

Some really don't hurt at all. Lilly had to have a shot. She closed her eyes, stuck out her arm. The doctor worked quickly and talked hard and fast; after a bit Lilly said: Please hurry doctor and get it over." "Why, child," said the doctor, "You had that shot long ago." Didn't Feel It "I did?" said the child in amazement. "I didn't feel it at all." This happens often.

Nevertheless children dread shots. When a child knows he is going tp get a shot he is apprehensive until it is over, then he can relax and enjoy the rest of the visit to the doctor's office. If a child has to wait a. little while before his turn to see the doctor, it's often a good idea for the doctor to bring the child into a side room, give him the shot quickly, let him go back and play until his turn to be examined comes up. Be Honest Much as children dislike shots it's necessary to be honest with them about it.

Mrs. Traymore promised Ted that the doctor wouldn't give him a shot today. Ted came happily into the examining room. Mrs. Traymore knew the child was due for a shot, in fact she had made the appointment for that very purpose.

She simply lied to her child because it was the easiest thing to do at the moment. It's impossible for a doctor to build up confidence in a child when the basis of trust is destroyed by direct lies. Not only was Ted full of resentment against the doctor but also against his mother. Occasionally one runs into a parent who uses the doctor as a threat over a child to make him behave. "If you don't eat those vegetables, I'll take you right down to the doctor and he'll give you a shot." This is the modem version of the old bogey man.

The great difference being that the doctor is a real person who is trying his best to establish a friendly confident relationship with the child. Make It Fun Try to make your visits to the doctor pleasant occasions. Explain to the child what is going to happen. You do not have to dwell on the unpleasant parts but don't lie about them. Many visits to the doctor have no disagreeable aspects at all.

Most children enjoy being weighed and measured and examined. It's fun to have your eyes and ears looked at and to read the eye chart. Try to go to the doctor when your child is not ill. The better your doctor knows you and your child the more he can help you keep your youngster in the best possible health, and the better able he is to treat your child when he is sick. A friendly relation between doctor and child is a great help to everyone.

When your child is sick and you take him to the doctor 's office be sure you explain to the child that the doctor wants to make him well just as soon as 1 possible. The confident child is more willing to carry out the doctor's orders than the one who hates and fears the doctor.
