Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 14, 1966, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press thursday july 14, 1966 Don t take Medicine while children watch by Jean Carper from the Book stay u4vc Liy Jean Carper c Carper. Pablin Ltd of double stay and . Fifth of a series one mistake that can Lead you straight to the Emer gency room of a Hospital is t o u n d a estimate your child s s Are w in e is and ability. Paediatricians who investigate poisoning ters consistently hear this refrain from parents but i had to idea he could get at the two doctors from the University of Washington s school of Medicine recently Analysed 106 child Poison Ings. In cases where the child had to employ some skill to reach the Poison half the parents were shocked to discover he could do it. They never dreamed their child could perform such feats As opening doors unscrewing Caps squeezing bottles opening purses and remembering where Poison Ous substances were kept. Some Sample cases from the doctors study illustrate How ingenious be one 12-month-old girl was left alone in the Kitchen for Only a minute or so while her Mother took a screwdriver to her husband in the Back Yard. In that Brief interval the child pushed a chair to the sink climbed up and drank from a can of paint thinner on the dra inboard. Imitate parents the Cleverest stunt of All was performed by a three year old boy. After watching his father take Medicine from a locked drawer the child waited until he left the room., then picked up the Frey and did the same thing. The last incident Illus trates another important Factor that children often. Get poisoned As a result of imitating adults. A recent study by. Or. A if red Koumans o f Connecticut showed that seven out of every 10 children who took a poisonous dose of medi Cine did. So after observing parents take pills. He advises adults not to take Medicine while children Are watching. Another source of trouble is a youngster s older brother or sister. Even though a Small child is incapable of climbing to get. His own Poison a sibling May pro cure it for him. Typically an older child innocent of the outcome plays the role of doctor or Parent. A five year old went to. The garage and measured out Weed killer which he fed to his three year old bit her like Medicine. A two year old climbed up on the railing of his baby brother s crib and poured deadly Oil of Winter Green in his Mouth. You can t be too careful in concealing poisons from your child. If you Don t outsmart him he May out smart you. The most hard to Iive with poisoning is when you do it yourself literally feed Poison to your child. It s done More times than you imagine usually because an adult does t heed medical men s admonition to always read the Label immediately before administering medi Cine and never to use the Medicine if the Label is gone. The most common error is confusing deadly Lini ments for Castor Oil and. Cough Medicine. One Mother devoid of a sense of dosed her child with a Tablespoon of camphor ated Oil thinking it was Castor Oil. The Label had been washed off. Parents like children also mistake poisonous sub stances for food. One grand Mother whisked a solution of boric. Acid out of the refrigerator and added it to the baby s formula. A baby Sitter preparing dinner got White Roach powder instead of flour from a cupboard and used i t to thicken Gravy. Both she and a youngster who ate it were fatally poisoned. These instances Bear out. Once again what authorities. Have been saying for years poisonous substances should never be stored around food. While Many products Are termed potential poisons there s no hedging about the insecticides herbicides fungicides and rodenticide that have become such casual components of mod Ern living. They Are poisons pure and simple. Many contain natural minerals such As arsenic whose lethal Power was recognized Jong before the time of the borgias. More widely used Are synthetic Bug killers such As Dot and malathion. The latter was actually born in the German Poison iras Labora tories of the second world War. Often As would be expected the child eats or drinks the pesticide. Some arc done up in Sweet syrups or pastes to spread on food attracting s m a i i. Human scavengers As Well As pests. However the vicious 1 y dangerous thing about pesticides is a t have to touch them to his Mouth to he poisoned. He can inhale them or even absorb them through unbroken skin there is simply no margin of error for pesticides. They must be kept out of the realm of children either on High shelves impossible for them to reach or preferably locked up in a closet in the garage. Under no circumstances should an insecticide be transferred to an unlabelled c o n t a i n e r where its identity could be Tost. And even discarding the empty Container is a place where a child could retrieve it is hazardous. Children have been known to die merely from Licking the Mouth of an empty can of insecticide. Not All poisons around the House Are Man made. Unknown to you a Plant that could kill your child May be growing in your own Back Yard. What s the solution instruct children never to eat any part of a Plant not commonly used As food especially berries. Even on leaves sucking on Plant stocks and drinking water in which plants have been soaked May cause poisoning. If you even suspect that a death kept at Bay in soviet caucasus by Henry s.

To be continued Indonesia still totters on Brink of disaster by Dennis Bloodworth Singapore special opens As the Gim Erack edifice of president Suka Rno s personal Empire finally Breaks up onlookers hold their breath for this calculated act of demolition could still bring Down with it the whole Flimsy Structure of Indonesia s internal peace and Unity. For seven Nightmare years during which be wielded sole sex e c u t i v e Power the has served i s people with slogans instead of sound government has commanded them to eat Maize in order to crush Malaysia and has squandered the riches of their islands on unproductive gee Gaws notably g u n s r aircraft prestige projects and child less women. Comparing himself with Christ Hitler Buddha and Thomas Jefferson he has led his flock of 105 million debtors to the Brink of economic and political ruin dancing and piping All the Way to be isolated from the United nations and. The world and embraced Only by peking. However on july this Bald old Man decked out in his Best Beri boned uniform bowed to the constitutional will of the 542-member peopled consultative con Gress the highest instance of the indonesian state. He had designed it himself to. Be one of the world s biggest rubber Stamps but now it had suddenly stripped him of authority and left him Little More than Bis Sukarno is no longer president for life but Only until general elections Are in 1968. He is no longer empowered to Issue decrees or make National decisions. He has been called upon to explain the abortive communist coup of oct. 1, 1965 and the economic and moral decadence of the Republic when under his care it. Gea. Suharto holds effective executive Power and has been instructed to form a new Cabinet by mid August. The Congress has mean while decided to review the political manifesto which was the basis for or. Sukarno s indonesian Revo Lution. The peking Djakarta Alliance lies As irremediable broken As a cracked Axle and a special congressional commission will callously pick Over the teachings the Laws and the decisions that the Bung so vigorously promulgated saving Only those bits that can be used for cannibalization in indo Nesia s new Era of democracy 1 commentators on the spot earlier feared an ugly show Down Between the masses that were mounting bitter anti Sukarno demonstrations in the streets of the capital and a Congress hesitant to be harsh for fear of splitting the country. But the con Gress has been unexpectedly Tough. As More troops and tanks moved into the City sources close to Gen. Suharto Dis closed that Indonesia s new rulers were in fact deter mined to end Sukarno s life presidency even at the risk of civil War and the con Gress has gone even further by Banning communism and demanding a new Cabinet in order to placate the extremist muslims and the embittered student leaders who would otherwise have clamoured for or. Sukarno s dismissal altogether. They had some cause to be fearful. The anti Sukarno fronts in the capital were matched by the mass of his supporters in Central and. Cast Java and on july 4 Djakarta itself awoke to find the Walls plastered with anti army slogans by javanese who so the authorities said had filtered in from the provinces. Or. Sukarno had the backing of the remnants of Indonesia s left Wing p o lit i Ca 1 move ments and of a Section of the once powerful nationalist party. Whether Indonesia slips e a is 1 y i n t o her unaccustomed constitutional Robes or they Are blown to rags in another fratricidal explosion will still depend on the future. Submissive Ness of or Sukarno an arrogant and s t u b b o r a Malayan Mussolini who is used to ruling his state like a Sultan it is understood that Gen. Suharto and can. Nasution May have obtained his acquiescence to Congress by using confessions of or. Sub Andrio the jailed former foreign minister which would incriminate the presi Dent in last year s coup. But he has shown that he still his cards to play. Be has obliged the Congress to recognize that he and not Gen. Suharto has the constitutional right to form the new Cabinet and although he must form one accept Able to Congress with Suharto As its effective Leader he can doubtless bedevil the consultations about its formation or. Sukarno s ability to fish in troubled Waters has been enhanced by the Deci Sion to hold general elections astutely suggested by himself for this automatically resuscitate energies and r i v a 1 r i e s among Indonesia s quarrel Ling political parties. Or. Sukarno is also Refus ing to sign the Bangkok pact to end Indonesia s military confrontation against Malaysia until after elections have been held in the North Bra de states Sarawak and Sabah to determine w h e t b e r the people want to be part of the new federation or not. This is precisely contrary to the will of the new indonesian leaders but if they by pass or. Sukarno they May risk further trouble the president meanwhile Bequeaths them an estate that is like a great gloomy debt Ridden ruin. The Price of Rice has risen More than 12 times in a year and. Although Indonesia should buy about on and a Quarter million tons annually to feed the population her coffers Are almost empty and she owes More than two billion dollars in foreign Loans on which they cannot even raise the interest payments. Yet if the new govern ment is not up to the herculean task of relieving the people s suffering it May in toe fact the Wrath of anti Sukarno St and pro Sukarno St mass organizations alike while or.
