DEAR ABBY: What should
do about my 17-year-old
sitter? She's sat with my
children for two years and I
thought her to be an ador-
able upright girl. She asked
permission to have a few
friends in while she sat, and
I agreed. Soon the few
friends" grew in number
until she was having parties
of u or more boys and girls.
My husbands liquor started
to disappear. Things came
to a head when we came
home at l am. and found
her so drunk she could hard
ly talk. Not wanting to re-

Lead Poisoning in Children
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Diagnosis is the most i'm
portant part of medical care.
. CONSIDER a 2-year-old
youngster who is brought to
the doctor complaining of ir-
ritability. loss of appetite,
nausea and vomiting. Nothing
seems to help.
The child gets worse. 1t is
time to look carefully for un-
usal causes. A common one,
often overlooked, Is. chronic
lead poisoning.
Most patients are between
the ages of one and four.
They may live in slums and
poorer areas where loose
plaster and taking paint on
the walls are a source of lead
in the paint. These children
have . habit of eating the
stuff. After a while symptoms
appear. The children become
anemic and pale, and some
times they have convulsions
and drowsiness.

turn her home in that condi-
tion, I phoned her mother
and asked If she could stay
all night. The next morning
I Scolded and lectured her
and she cried and begged me
not to tell her parents. I kept
quiet. Tonight she came to
sit, and I smelled liquor on
her breath, so I sent her
home and said we changed
our minds about going out.
NOW, should we tell her
parents?
NO NAME PLEASE
Absolutely! You do this
girl no favor by covering up
for her. Her parents should
know. Tell them at once.

The most important part
Of treatmen is prevention.
Making a study of walls,
plaster. woodwork. toys that
may be within reach of the
innocent child.
The next important step
is early diagnosis. This can
be confirmed by a study for
lead in the blood and urine.
Once the diagnosis is made,
effective treatment is made
with EDTA calcium DISC
dium ethylenediamine tetra-
cacetate). This binds the
lead into a harmless material
that can safely be excreted
(eliminated) by the kidneys.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
doctor mas made a diagnosis
Of hypothyroidism. He has
had me on one grain of thy
roid extract for over three
months, but ! still feel tired.

Isn't thyroid treatment sup
posed to help? Sincerely.
Mrs. c., Miami, Fla.
I HAVE OBSERVED hun
dreds of patients with de-
creased thyroid action. Years
ago the diagnosis was proved
by physical examination and
basal metabolism tests. Late
ly, doctors are also using a
laboratory test called the
protein-bound iodine test.
AS in your case, the present.
ing symptoms of most pa
tients was tiredness. Most
patients improved after TAX
ing thyroid extract daily.
For improvement, II is nee
essary that each patient re-
ceive a sufficient amount of
thyroid extract.
OF course, thyroid is not a
drug to fool with. 1t should
never be taken without the
supervision Of your doctor.
I recall one patient who
felt fine when he took five
grains of thyroid extract a
day. Whenever I lowered the
dosage to three or four grains
he had his former symptoms
of fatigue again. When I
raised the dosage he improved
What is true for thyroid Is
also true for many other
drugs. Many are ineffective
because they are not taken
in sufficient amounts.

Star Staff Writer

Should tomorrow's Federal
employees work in monumental
structures along a new East
Mall or in picturesque Office
buildings scattered around
downtown Washington?
This question was pondered
today as the National Capital
Planning Commission Regional
Council sat down for its 10Th
discussion on how the Wash
ington of the year 1000 should
look.
Staff members told their
chiefs it is urgent to decide on
the East Mall in order to guide
the people intending to build in
that area and the businessmen
who are planning the rejuvena-
ton of downtown.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission passes on the
location and general design OF
Federal buildings. Although nc
final decision was made, the
majority of the council seemed
to agree it would be better to
help the downtown area by
locating Federal buildings there
