FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1972 10 ~epiNna JOURNAL-REGISTER By Lawrence Lamb, M.P. Dear Dr. Lamb - Each winter I have one chronic sore throat after another. My problem is that I cannot take an antibiotic to clear up the sore throats. I have a re- action and break out for several days. My doctor has been giving me antihistimine with antibiotics for the last year and a half and has tried new drugs hoping I won't re- act, but so far I have always broken out in a rash. Now he is afraid to give me anything but antihistimine. My ques- tion is how dangerous is it to take an antibiotic and break out? Dear Reader - Most cold and throat infections are caused by viruses. Antibiot- ics are of no value whatever in treating these ordinary virus infections. Antibiotics are helpful in eliminating some organisms that are much like viruses which is why it is useful in \virus pneumonia,\ which is not caused by a virus. Strepto- coccal sore throats (caused by bacteria not viruses) are properly treated with penicil- lin. Anyone who has an al- lergy reaction to antibiotics is doubly foolish to be taking these medicines. It is true that antibiotics help clear up secondary infections and doc- tors sometimes give them for that purpose. Antibiotics can sometimes produce very severe re- actions including joint pains and symptoms similar to rheumatic fever. I can under- stand why your doctor doesn't want to give you any- thing more than antihisti- mine. These won't cure your cold, but they may make you feel better. General sympto- matic treatment is usually all that is indicated in most sore throats and colds. This may include aspirin and for a sore throat warm salt wa- \\0'000010IQIQOOIUOOI'OOI 000000000000 Sepe ea! ete, PefeZeZeZ Voice Bridge Concern | MIDDLEPORT - Jaycees here are concerned about the hazardous conditions that have existed for pedestrians on the High Bridge across the Erie Canal at the foot of Vernon Street in Middleport. \The safety of the children and the people of Middleport should come before anything else,\ said Michael - Nilsson, - Jaycee president. \Two and one-half months have passed and nothing has been done to rectify the con- ditions that exist and that were pointed out by the Jaycees to the Jaycees - DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB § Antibiotics Useless -In Viral Infections ter gargles may help you feel better. Dear Dr. Lamb - I am 14 years old and I am only four feet seven inches tall, I would like to know if it is possible to receive a hor- mone from the pituitary that would help me grow some more. I heard about it in my science class. Dear Reader - One of the hormones from the pituitary gland that rests just under the brain is the growth hor- mone. It is essential for normal growth. However, at 14 years of age you can't be certain that your normal growth cycle has been achieved. You may simply be growing slower. If the rest of your development is still delayed by the time you reach 16, then you might want to have a careful evalu- ation by an endocrinologist (gland specialist). Usually individuals don't stop growing until they are in their later teens or some- times early 20s. Individuals have different rates - of growth. Most people seem to 'have the idea that to grow rapidly is good. Apparently this is akin to the old Ameri- can custom that being first is best, but that isn't neces- sarily true. In fact, in animal studies those who grow slow- ly during their developmen- tal period rather than matur- ing early tend to have a longer normal life span. So, your short height at 14 years of age may be an indication that you are going to live a long and healthy life. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

Local 1212 of the IBEW, representing camera, lighting and audio technicians, struck CBS Nov. 3 citing jurisdictional issues in provisions of a new contract. AFTRA members voted 211- 159 late Wednesday to honor Local 1212 picket lines. Howev- er, union leadership has set no date for implementation of that order. . A union spokesman said early today that AFTRA executives would meet this morning to discuss the situation. Should AFTRA exercise the mandate voted by its member- ship, such AFTRA members as Walter Cronkite, Roger Mudd, Dan Rather and Daniel Schorr would be affected. Another related union, the Writers Guild of America, was scheduled to meet today to determine what action they will take in connection with the IBEW picket line.

In her own words, the text of her latest report follows: It's been very busy with me here. Last month from Oct. 23-27 we had a half-term in school, which gave me a whole week's vacation. So I decided to do some sight-seeing, A teacher, who is a. friend of my English family, invited me to visit Bath, England. For four days I saw a great deal of Wiltshire county. The - scenery was quite tremendous - very much like that in Pennsylvania. I visited several castles; saw historic ruins, such as the famed Stonehenge; and toured the Roman Baths. All this was very exciting. My stay there was ended all too soon! On the way back to Tiverton we came by train - my very first train ride ever! To me it was a wonderful way to travel, and very much like our subways. | When I got back I had the sad news that my best girl friend and her family were moving to New Zealand. So, of course, we threw BENEFICIAL BOOZE BERKELEY, Calif. (UPTD) - Like man, the plant world has its citizens who turn to alcohol to solve a problem. Because of a minute quantity of alcohol present in certain varieties of barley, the grain has been able to ward off damage from greebug, an aphid which has become a serious pest. Scientists are trying to find out if this form of natural resistance can be incorporated into all grain varieties, says the California Farm Bureau Federation. a big going-away party for her. She left on Oct. 28, and we figure on getting letters from her regularly. A few weeks ago I went to Bampton fair, which is an historical event to which every one goes. It is famous for auc- tioning off every year over a hundred ponies - Dartmoor ponies. I took a lot of slides of this fair to show when I come home. I've taken about 300 slides already. What better way is there than to share with you all the many great things I've been lucky enough to experience here? | .._ __ _ ». Did you all enjoy Hallowe'en? I hope so. I was thinking of you all on Oct. 31. Unfortunately here in England they don't celebrate it. I tried very hard to find a pumpkin that 1 could carve - but no luck! Here we do celebrate \Guy Fawkes\ night on Nov. 5. All the small children build bon fires: and shoot off fire-crackers. Guy Fawkes historically was sup- posed to blow up the Houses of Parliament on Nov. 5, 1605 with gun powder, but he failed. The children burn a dummy effigy of him in their bon fire. But this Nov. 5 it rained, so they didn't burn his effigy. I was, of course, disappointed, to say the least! As I've pointed out before, English schools are quite dif- ferent from ours. Even though they are far more exacting than ours I don't think they benefit from it. The students tend to be well educated in one sense, but they are not well-rounded per- sonalities - if you know what I mean by this. They, also seem to be less mature emotionally than ours at the same age. I find this to be very surprising. Maybe their strict rules don't give enough responsibility to them, and what is more some of the rules are rather ridiculous, it seems to me.

Now, what does this really have to do with education? But I enjoy school here on the whole. I'm in the lower 6th class, and evidently the school is more slack when it comes to restraining us. My homework consists entirely in essay writing. I've been doing essay after essay till I think they're coming out of my ears! However, I don't really mind, for at least I'll be able to write a good essay when I come back home. My English family is already getting ready for Christmas. On - Saturday we baked Christmas cakes have to sit for a few weeks before they're good to eat. I've been told that I have the honor of stirring the Christmas pudding this year, for the one who stirs | the pudding can make a wish atu Father Christmas will see that it comes true! I think I'll wish that all these gorgeous Christmas cakes and pudding don't make me fat! Have you all read that on Nov. 20 the Queen of England will celebrate her 25th wedding Sincere MR. & MRS.
