There Really Are People Who LiUe In
Glass Houses At Your Local Hospitals

There really are people who live
in glass houses Suburban Hospital
has a number of them. But you
won't find them throwing any
stones for a while-they're much
too weak for that.
The hospital nurses call them
"preemies". They are the babies
who were born from a week to two
months too soon and must have
individual care, sometimes as long
as three months or until they have
attained the weight of five and a
half pounds.
Premature births-leading cause
of death in the first month of life
are far less apt to end in trag-
edy at Suburban Hospital today
than they were several years ago.
The reason-five incubators-all
given to the hospital through the
generosity of local service groups.
They cost $3.50 each.
To take care of the "preemies, "
of which there have been as many
as five at one time, Suburban Hos
pital has turned over one room for
the exclusive use of the incubators.
Formerly the incubator babies
were kept in the hospital nursery
with other new babies. This was
not satisfactory because of the fire.
quent need for administering oxy-
gen, which can be done safely only
under certain conditions.
Mrs. Beulah Cavey of the Nurs-
cry staff explained that "preemies"
must be kept in temperatures
ranging from 80 to 95 degrees and
must be supplied oxygen constant
ly. Some of them are too feeble
to swallow, and must be fed by
gavage. In everyday terms this
means tube which extends into
the baby's stomach. Others are
given fluid under the skin through
injection.

Reminiscent of the Tydings- But
Ter controversy following the 1850
Congressional election is the kdi-

Gov. Carroll issued his proc

candidates for Congress and the
Tilden and Hendricks presidential
electors of the State of Maryland
duly elected. He has also signed
the certificates of election of mem
bers of Congress from this State,
including our honored representa-
tive, Mr.. VIM. Walsh. 1t is quite
gratifying to our people to know,
that, in spite of all the unfair de-
vices resorted to by the Republic
cans in this district to secure a
majority for their handsome, rosy
checked and emulous candidate,
Mr.. McComas, and the groundless,
slanderous and pusil luminous
charges of intimidation and fraud
in this county, with the sordid
hope of counting out Mr.. Walsh,
they have accomplished nothing
but their own discredit, and the
Maryland delegation in the next
Congress will be as at present, an
unbroken Democratic representa-
ton"

Parents May Win
Prizes In Safety
Play Yard Contest

Off-street play yards to protect
their young children from traffic
hazards have been entered by 81
Montgomery County parents in the
1851 Summer Play Yard Contest
being sponsored by the Montgom-
cry County Safety Board, County
Council, School and Police officials,
Stephen James, Chairman of the
Safety Board, announced today.
This is the third summer that
parents of the County have been
urged to provide a safe place away
from the growingly hazardous traf-
fic for their children to play" Mr..
James said. This summers cam
paign will result in five Montgom-
cry County parents sharing cash
prizes for the best homemade play
yards. Five cash prizes Of $25,
$40, $40 and S. will be awarded
to the parents who construct the
most attractive off-street play
yards at the smallest cost. A
similar set of five prizes is being
offered to groups of parents who
develop a neighborhood or block
play yard, contributing to the safe
ty of the area at the lowest cost.
However, no entries have yet been
made by groups of parents, al
though there were entries in the
l949 and 1850 contests.
Accidents to very young chill
dren, especially of pre-school age,
are more frequent during summer
months and injury accidents to
school children increase during va
cation time. 1t is not too late for
parents to set aside a yard, or part
Of a yard, or an adjacent vacant
lot and equip them for child play
to avoid the tragedy of an accident.
Entry forms are available from
Sergeant Charles 0. Seek of the
Bethesda Police Station, Safety
Police Coordinator for the county,
who has been assigned by Chief
Charles M. Orme to aid the pro-
gram.
Parents who entered their play
yard in either of the last two Con-
tests are invited to re-enter, pro-
vided they have made some i'm
provement in their play yard.
There is no cost for entering the
Contest. Parents need only file an
entry form indicating their inter-
est and the location of the play
yard.
Surely there must be some Rock
vile or Gaithersburg parents who
are eligible for this contest.

The Social Service League
And What It Does For Us

We usually talk about Red
Feather services in terms of how
much money we must raise, how
much the agency needs to operate,
how many people we served in each
department ad infinitum. These
are very important statistics but
the following story is perhaps
worth more attention-because it
could happen to you.
Mr.. Us wife became i'll. The
doctor advised an immediate opera
ton, and told Mr.. j. to expect a
long period of convalescence for
his wife. The doctor said she
could not do any house work or
care for her two children for some
months. Before she could complete
plans to enter the hospital, she and
Mr.. J. had to find some way for
the children to be cared for during
the emergency period. No relatives
were available to help out, and it
was impossible for them to find
a housekeeper for this length of
time to come into the home. Their
neighbor was a member of the
Board of Directors of the Social
Service League, a Red Feather
service, and she suggested to Mr..
and Mrs. j. that here would be the
solution. Mr.. J. appealed to the
Social Service League for foster
care for their children, both of
them toddlers on whom the Us
showered a great deal of devotion.
Working with Miss Elizabeth
O'Molley, an agency social work
er, plan was worked out for the
children to be placed in one of the
Leagues approved and supervised
foster homes where they would re-
ceive the loving care and attention
to which they were accustomed,
and would continue to lead nor
NAL, healthy home life. Mr.. and
Mrs. J.were satisfied and pleasd
with the plan. They readily COM
pleted arrangements and then not
flied their doctor that Mrs. J.
could now get the needed medical
attention without the worry of how
her family was going to get along
without her.
After her disqualification, Mrs. J.
returned home for her GONZALES
cence, which was aided by the
knowledge that her babies were
well and contented. Her husband
was able to give her all the at
tention she needed, which speeded
her recovery. AS she progressed
she was able to visit the children
while they were in the care of
the agency's foster parents, which
meant she could watch their
growth and progress without the
burden of their physical care to
slow her recovery. The family is
now once again reunited, healthy
and happy.
The Social Service League stands
ready to help parents who need
temporary foster care for their
children, no matter what the rea-
son. The agency's chief focus is the
preservation of the family as I'M
it, but there are times when this
cannot be accomplished. In cases
where there is no hope of the fam
ily's reuniting, or where a normal
family life is not available for the
child, plans are made to place the
child for adoption through the
agency's adoption service.
When our troubles become too
much for US, it helps to know there
is friendly place to talk them
over with someone who under
stands. Trained and skilled case
workers are available to help in
dividuals and families to determine
the basic cause of their difficulties,
and to find a solution which makes
it possible for them to find happier.
