COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
A number of misconceptions
cling to the retarded. Some of
them perhaps remain from the
time when only the most trouble
some were identified and the large
majority yer unknown. Miscon-
ceptionS frequently encountered
are discussed below.
l. Delinquency
The idea that most mental
detectives are delinquent, has
proved to be false. The per-
centage of delinquency among
them has been found to be
only a trifle higher than in
the normal population.
2. Institutional Care
1t was formerly thought
that all mental detectives
should be sent to institutions.
1t is now known that the great
majority get along fairly well
in the community, and that
only a small percentage re-
quire institutional care.
A belief still commonly held
is that severely retarded chill
dren should go to institutions.
If home care is good, the sew
erely retarded child gains
little by institutionalization
In some cases, however, it is
necessary to relieve the family
of his care.
Another fallacious idea is
that sending a child to a res
idential school disposes of the
problem. This is usually far
from true because the average
length of stay in institutions is
only a few years.
8. Capacity For Work
The old idea that the retarded
are incapable of productive
work has been found to be
only partly true. A few are
self-supporting, and even
assist their relatives A large
number are partly self-sup-
porting. Another arge group

that the winner would spare

The people felt that any,
thing would be better than
Batista. They did not know
that they were moving from a
murderer to a madman. Many
Of them do not know it yet,
because the only information
they get comes from the gov
ernment newspapers and the
government radio.
There are 1000, 900 people
and they are spread 725 miles
across the land from. Pinar
del Rio to Oriente. They are
basically poor-poorer than
the people of Mexico and
Guatemala and Venezuela
and any change in their lives
must be for the better. Under
Batista, the average field
worker earned one peso q
day. Under Castro. he earns
one peso, so centavos.
How can anyone oppose q
man who has raised wages
so per cent? Castro has torn
down SlumS and put I'D pre-
fabricated houses. He has
bulldozed wild growth of the
land and planted cotton. He
has forced drug manufac-
turers to stamp the retail
price on the bottle before it
gets to the drug store.
The people, like children,
hang their heads when Com
munism is mentioned. They
know that there is something
bad about this. They don't
know what it is, but they
know 1t is bad. Many of the
men stay away from church,
but send their women to
listen. They come home with
news that the new political
party - Partido Socialistica
Populare-is Red.

feelings Of guilt and a better
income. refuse to join the

slowly. The political philoso-'

choice between Batista and

pan Of Castro-C Communism

made a bad mistake, 1t is
that he made his sharp left
turn before he reached an
intersection. The people
aren't ready for it.
When I asked the Cubans
how their peso matches the
United States dollar they
said Even" This explains
why many of them do not

MIAMI, Fla.-The majority
Of all Cubans in Cuba indorse
Fidel Castro. This is q bitter
truth. It would be q good
thing II all of US looked it in
the eye. We are fond Of think
ing that people under the
heels Of oppressors are dying
for us to liberate them. It
just isn't so.
SINCE 1S45, we have been
waiting for the people Of
Poland, Rumania. Estonia
and Latvia to rise up in
righteous wrath and kill the
despots. They haven't done it.
There are no signs that they
will do 1t. Only in Hungary
did the heel press too hard
on the Magyar necks. There.
the Communists had a chance
to see how the opposition
built UP, where the leaders
came from. what the opening
day targets would be.
I have talked with Cubans
Of all kinds In what is now
Castro-land. It isn't easy to
win their confidence, but,
once it Is won, they spill
over with the hard logic Of
Communism. Those who IA
vor Castro are ashamed to
admit it. Those who oppose
him are afraid to be heard
talking against him. 1t isn't
an easy assignment.

notes. and subtracting the
lies and the obvious bias, ! am
left with these figures: When
Castro came into power in

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
young son has me terribly
worried. If he ate tin can
his middle initial co would
really stand for GOAT. I
can't understand how he can
eat things like sand, clay,
wood, stones, coal and ashes.
Furnishing him doesn't help.
Can you possibly explain? Is
this q disease? Is there any,
thing to do? Mrs. N.
THIS SORT Of appetite is
not unusual, neither is itrare.
In fact, the medical term for
It is Plea. Most often, chill
dren grow out Of 1t without
any treatment.
There are some youngsters,
however, who seem to crave
such things because they are
anemic. When you treat them
with iron pills and their blood
improves they get over the
habit. It might also be a good
idea to check on intestinal
worms, too.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
an intestinal worm problem
in my home. One Of my
youngsters has been saving
cramps, losing a little weight
and generally feeling run
down. The doctor discovered
what he calls infection with
"ascaris lumbricoides." Is it
a dangerous condition? Mrs.

probably prescribe piperazine

is usually helpful in eradicat-
ing them. But I've said they
can be stubborn. Sometimes
the treatment has to be re-
peated within a week or two.
Or, another kind of drug
used.
Intestinal worms are quite
common. Take pin worms, for
example. One estimate is that

Americans suffer from them.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
have been having indigestion
for months. Yesterday I was
confronted with the diagnosis
Of gall stones. One doctor
says there's no hurry about
having an operation. An
other says I should resort to
surgery as soon as possible.
Vaguely, I recall a column
in which you said there was
no hurry. Mrs. w., Arizona.
THINK I ought to qualify
that again as I have before.
When you have an attack Of
acute appendicitis there's no

have the appendix out right

However, unless the gall
stone attack is an acute one
with possible dangerous, i'm

said that there is usually time
to give it unhurried consider

Sometimes the choice rests
with the patient: sometimes
it doesn't. For example, if you

DEAR ABBEY: The tradi-

tion. It was said that If the

also turned all the mirrors to
the wall so they wouldn't get
dark and smoky. Then they
