Dear DIR. SteincrOhn:
Hundreds Of victims Of the
common cold would be for
ever grateful II In your coll
umn you would explain the
true meaning of @stuff q cold
and starve a fever" Years ago
I read that this was originally
"stuff q cold and you will
have to starve q fever" But
through the years the ver-
sion was shortened, leaving
us with the Oft-quoted and
Oft-misunderstOod version we
now have.
When the cold bug gets
the best Of some Of us and we
have TO see our doctors for
relief. the advice Is always
80 eat lightly, take plenty Of
liquids, etc. But our we'll
meaning but mislnformed
friends always pooh pooh his
directions, saying, But
everybody knows you stuff
. cold and starve q fever"
Mrs. G. Z. II.
~ I would be dishonest with
myself II I donned the robes
of a seer and took 1t upon
myself to hand down an ora
cular decision in this matter.
.9U. q doctor. one Of about
400, 900 in the United States,
know Of no "cure" for the
common coldD Frankly. ! be-
lieve that in some cases the
"starvers" are right: In
Others, the suffers"
In my first years Of prac-
tice ! used to advise people
with colds to feed up" And
i used to put those with
fever on liquids - orange
juice. broth. water. ginger
ale, etc-until their fever
came down.
After observing hundreds
of patients I came to the
conclusion that people with
simple colds got well whether
they were starved or stuffed.
And I also became convinced
that those with fever who
were starved got UP out Of
bed weak as newborn puppies
or kittens. Deprive any
healthy person Of needed pro-
teins, fats, minerals and vi
vtamins for q week or so and
4 you produce q similar effect.
I allow a patient with a
cold to "starve" or stuff"
depending upon his craving
for food. AS for fever patients,
, j don't believe in Withholding
desired nourishment. They
can have a sirloin ana baked
potato If they wish. If they
are not hungry, I don't force
food-but try to get proteins
in.

in an accident three years
ago. He left three children
just about the ages Of my
children-l0. IL and IS.
] want the children to get
together regularly because
these cousins are all they
have from my side Of the
family. They should really
know one another. Some day
they may need one another.
We don't live IN the same
community. but 1t is only q
matter Of q two-hour bus
ride for the children to come
together. But my children
are seldom invited and my
brothers children seldom ac-
cept my invitations.
Paula C.-Sandra seems to
think I have become an out
slider, almost an enemy. since
my husband died. I have the
same family feeling toward
her and her children that ]
always did.
I certainly do want her
children and my children to
be friends. but I ind you
can't railroad kids Of that
age into anything. They like
their cousins. but they have
other friends. other interests.
Sandra would like the chill
dren to visit back and forth
every week end. My children
seem to want to be with their
own friends.
Their cousins have been to
camp every summer and
know all sorts Of sports and
things that my children know
nothing about. ! guess they
feel a little left out or over
Swallowed by their cousins.
Sandra wants me to force
the children to get together
more regularly, but I'm
afraid that would only make
them dislike one another.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Paula has q most legiti-
mate point. Forcing her chill
dren to visit their cousins
when they don't want to
would promote bad rela-
tons, rather than good ones.
It is often hard for sisters
and brothers to see that their
children have little interest
In knowing one another.
Very often it is the fault Of
parents. who tend to make
comparisons between the
children.
Sometimes, even when the
parents don't make COMPARE
sons. the children do. them
selves. If a cousin Of his own
age is more accomplished or
attractive or has more adj
vantages. a child will avoid
contacts with that cousin.
In their friendships chill
dren tend to choose those on
their level or friends they can
feel q bit superior to in some
ways. II parents try to push
q friendship with q child be-
cause he has some superior
quality, they win meet with
q lot Of resistance. Usually
they viii be forced TO drop

A new branch Office Of the

Miss Mabel r. Cook, exec
utive director reported this
yesterday in her review of
the organizations activities
at the District Of Columbia
YWCA's 53rd annual meet
ing and luncheon held in the
Mayflower Hotel.
Miss Cook said the North

ers in that area to decide
what programs are most
necessary.

Offices. The new approach to
"Y" activities is pertinent

Guest speaker at yester-
days meeting, which about
500 persons attended, was the
Rev. Ralph w. Sockman Of
Christ Church Methodist in
New York.
The Rev. Sockman, whose
sermons are broadcast each
week lauded the "Y" and said
1t helps develop mass living
into community living.

cause of the city's transient

Women 'Sedrchinq'
Says OAR Head
BY RUTH DEAN

The women Of this coun-
try are deeply concerned,
more deeply worried" about
this nations problems than
in perhaps any period we've
been in since the war, Mrs.
Frederic A. Groves, president
general Of the National Soc
iety, Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, declared yes
terday.
Just returned from a two
month tour Of IL Western
and Southwestern States,
Mrs. Groves said she found
among the women she met,
as well as in letters which
come across her desk, "a
searching" for the answers to
the problems which face the
nation, "a desire to sift in
formation, new and old, to
arrive at a reevaluation."
Does she feel that this new
searching for the answers
will be reflected in resolutions
to be taken up by the society
at its 67th Continental Con-
gress which opens here next
week?
Mrs. Groves would not in
dictate just what action the
society will take on specific
matters, but said she felt
sure they will consider the
problems posed by the educa-
tional crisis brought on by
Soviet Russia's launching of
Sputnik. last October.
The president general ex-
pressed the hope that I'VE do
everything we can to de-
velop young scientists" but
warned, Il do hope we don't
lose our entire sense Of pro-
portion.
I'VE need scientists but we
need leaders too. We have

make and who may not be

Montgomery County sentinel., 1958-12-18

A total Of 1895 pints of
blood were provided free last
year to patients in Montgom-
cry County hospitals, it was
reported this week by the
county Red Cross Chapter.
However, some changes have
been made in the blood program
of the Red Cross here, the group
reminded. The changes includes:
. Due to increased operating
costs and a lower budget (as a
result of unsuccessful fun d
drivesl, charge of $3.50 is made
for each pint of blood to defray
some of the costs of collecting,
processing and transporting
blood.
. This small fee, which actual
~ pays only part of the $500
cost of collecting, processing and
transporting each pint of blood,
is collected by some hospitals as
part of the blood administration
charge, or absorbed by the hospi-
tai in that charge.
sNo person ever is denied Red
Cross blood. Anyone who is a
patient in a hospital which "whol-
ly participates in the Red Cross
Blood program is eligible for free
blood. In this county those hos
pitals are Montgomery General
and Washington Sanitarium.
These hospitals get their total
supply from the Red Cross.
. In the case of a partly par
ticipating hospital, like Suburban,
which now has its own blood
bank, patients can get Red Cross
blood which is replaced on a pint
by-pint basis under the following
conditions: (a) when the patient
has given blood within one year
Of his need; Cb) when the patient
is a member of a particiating
group currently meeting its quo.
ia; or (c) when a patient is a rela.
tive (husband, wife, child, parent
or economic dependent), of don
or or member of a participating
group.
. If a prospective patient ex.
poets to need blood, he can clear
