Show 4—Tbs Herald Journal Sunday July II ! 1972 Probation Officer Recalls 27 Years To begin with Horace Carlson was apprehensive about the future of each youngster he faced as probation officer for the First District Juvenile Court Twenty-seve- n years later as he prepares to retire at the end of this month Carlson feels he has become more patient "Seeing my own children grow up has helped me in helping other people's children and I have learned that a great many (4 the young people in trouble seem to come out of their Much of it is all just growing up" he believes Admittedly there are some offenders who will end up in prison but the remainder stay in the community and seem to manage to live fairly successful In Carlson's with society opinion "when one commits a serious crime it should be handled effectively Much of the ungovernable behavior should not be handled in court at all" The more he has worked with the various volunteer programs the more convinced he is of their potential "I have a certain hope and feeling that these volunteer people can really help kids with problems” he stated adding that "the fact that they are close and able to discuss the problems with some older person is a great asset in their lives" He acknowledges the fact that there are some “willing and anxious workers" in the welfare and courts who want to bring about an immediate cure for all the ills of society “It takes patients however and it helps when parents are cooperative I have learned to work with parents as I have with their chikfren and sometimes have to spend more actual time with the parents Some of these parents have turned out to be my best friends" the retiring probation officer stated There are some parents who have lived rigid lives themselves and have had difficulty in accepting a deviant kind of behavior on the part of a child “People who have grown up with this seem to be more able to handle it" he pointed out In Carlson's opinion the traditional worries about working mothers broken homes and low incomes do not have much bearing on whether or not a child is going to be delinquent "life goes on and it is amazing how well we solve our problems despite what some people feel are handicaps We have seen similar things occur in what many people would call perfect hume environments" he observed There are a few crimes Carlson indicated which are associated with a certain type of personality "and these people really never quit Sometimes I think such a tendency is socially hereditary for every In regards ar Research Showing Way For Diseases “I have peat optimism in the infinite potential of men and that research will allow men to realize this potential” com-- ’ mented Dr Theodac T Puck at the conclusion of a week's stay at Utah State University Dr Puck head of the Biophysics Department at the University of Colurado Medical Center said that research is showing the way for diseases and defects to be diagnosed in the unborn child “This increases the chances fur a couple having a normal child but brings with it moral questions" Dr Puck commented He said that moral and condemnation of abortion has a real basis if the concern is that it will lead to the cheapening of human life Huwever he feels that if two basic guidelines are followed research will provide greater flexibility to enrich human life religious Careful to point out that he advocating his opinion at point and not scientific he said that the guidelines "no parent shall be forced to bear a child with a gross disease and every child born should be granted a developmental history to allow him to reach his full genetical potenwas this facts were tial " Dr Puck feels that human genes should be mapped so that i scientists can learn when someone has missing or extra genes “A chromosone study on humans now runs about 6100 hopefully research will reduce this cost to 25 cents” he added Research should provide that “this has been a valuable asset and at the present time it is used almost every night particularly for runaways and kids out on the street late at night It has limited use as it should” he declared For 19 years the probation officer lived in a building which no only served as his family residence but as the juvenile court and detention center The new arrangement has been a decided improvement "I will really miss my association with the youngsters Even those who commit serious crimes and end up in prison often come back to visit and I consider many of them my very dose friends" he explained Coming to juvenile court he said is an extremely traumatic experience for some but the mure hardened youngster seems to take it more in his stride He is hupeful that with the use of more and more voluntary workers fewer young people in trouble will come before the court Before his appointment as the probation officer for Cache Rich and Box Elder counties Carlson taught schools in Idaho in grades two to 12 He also taught for a period of time in the Cache County School District He holds A M degrees from the University of Idaho and UCLA in Old English and History He was to the community Horace Carlson child in a family may be the same way Yet again a child may get hold of himself after seeing the mistakes of his brothers" During the last five years the local juvenile court has only sent two or three to the State Industrial School With the use of ' voluntary workers and committing some of the cases to Family Services there has been control mure of an open-typ- e “We can't eliminate the Industrial School however any mure than we can eliminate prisons We will always have to have them" he said Confab Served Hy(Ie Park Valuable Purpose Water Emphasis by the press on the mittees which did most of the negative and the bizarre gave

funding would be available and what we would qualify for under this arrangement If it appears feasible we would take it to the citizens of the community to see what their desires are" Mayor Thurston

PHILADELPHIA Nixon's (UPI) -Ppopularity jumped 45 percentage points during the Democratic National Convention according to the Sindlinger Political Confidence Report The poll said Friday that of 1116 persons interviewed by telephone during the convention 512 per cent said they would vote for Nixon if the presidential election were held now The poll was conducted between Monday and Thursday night The poll asked the question: "If the presidential election were being held today would you yourself vote for the of President Nixon?" Yes answers were 542 per cent no answers were 310 per cent don't know or can't vote answers accounted for the rest In answer to the question "If the presidential election were being held today of all of the candidates you can think of who would you say right now is your No 1 first choice to be the next President?" 515 per cent said Nixon 74 per cent said Sen Hubert Humphrey 17 per cent said Sen Edmund Muskie 31 per cent said Sen Edward Kennedy: 132 per cent said Gov George Wallace 117 per cent said Sen George McGovern— the actual Democratic nominee— and the rest was divided among Reps Wilbur Mills and Shirley Chisholm and Sen Henry Jackson The poll did not ask a question which directly compared President Nixon to Sen McGovern however The poll said Nixon's 512 per cent rating was the highest such rating in the past two decades resident Heatstroke poisoning by snakebite burns and insect stings are some of the hazards of summer and internal poisoning also occurs sometimes from d picnics when food has been heat-spoile- Because anyone can be placed situation if a faced with any of these problems Logan Safety Council Chairman Ed Pehrson has compiled sane tips for aiding people with these distresses Heatstroke he said is one of the easier emergencies to identify because it usually occurs after prolonged exposure to high temperatures The victim feels weak and nauseated often complains of dizziness or a headache He stops sweating and his skin becomes hot and dry His body temperature rises rapidly In severe cases he may heroine unconscious A mild attack merely calls for a bit of rest in a shaded spot Put cold wet towels on the victim's head and give him several glasses of odd water one every 10 or 15 minutes In case of severe heatstroke the main problem is to cool the victim off quickly Lay him in the shade and pour buckets of cold water over him Wrap him in wet towels or a wet sheet and keep pouring on more cool water Massage his legs trying to work blood upward towards in “life-or-deat- his heart When he has fully recovered consciousness start giving him cool drinks but no stimulants The safety council chairman pointed out that a person who has taken prison by mouth may turn suddenly ill have convulsions or start vomiting He may have difficulty seeing If the poison was a strong acid or alkali there may be burns on his mouth There are two general ways to treat internal prisoning one is to dilute and neutralize the poison in the victim's stomach the other is to make him throw up the poison as quickly as The method to use possible depends on the kind of poison If you can find the container which held the poison call the doctor tell him what the prison was and ask him what to do If you can’t get the doctor read the label on the poison and see if it prescribes an antidote-th- en do as it says It is wise— just in case the emergency ever arises— to have two simple remedies available on your top pantry shelf One is activated charcoal which can't be mixed with water and is effective in absorbing poisons The other is syrup of ipacac which induces vomiting If you know the poisoning was by strong acid alkali (lye or drain cleaner) gasoline or kerosene don't induce vomiting Tty to dilute the poison in the patient's stomach with water and baking soda for acid water and vinegar for alkali and plain water for gasoline and kerosene But not enough water to induce vomiting Fur prisoning by snakebite it is best to keep the victim absolutely quiet to slow circulation and spread of the venom Immobilize the bitten part Send for a physician at once or transport the victim to a physician's office or hospital serum is the best treatment If medical help can be reached within one hour that is all that is necessary Cut the wound only if te professional help is not available or if the wound begins to swell becomes inflamed and painful If it's necessary to cut sterilize a razor blade or knife in the flame of a match Make shallow cuts about inch deep and inch long across each fang mark Do not cut deeply Suck venom and blood from the wound and spit it out The venom is not an internal (stomach) poison but rinse your mouth with water occasionally if possible Continue the suction for about an hour There is no reason for panic-m- ust snakebites in this country are far from fatal Snake venom spreads very slowly through the system affording plenty of time 'n get help And few people who are bitten actually get enough venom to do any serious harm Pehrson points out that it is important to "make sure everyone in your family reports bee wasp or other insect one-eigh- th stings" one-four- th Some people One should Special Award be alert for any peculiar symptoms In the treatment of severe bums the big question is how soon medical help can be expected If a doctor or ambulance will be there soon or if you can get the victim to a hospital quickly don’t attempt to dress the burns If help will be there shortly the most important thing is to keep the victim lying down and as quiet as possible to lessen shock Keep the burned area as clean as possible-- do not touch it with your hands or pull away bits of clothing or debris which may be clinging to the flesh If help is delayed and pain and shock are intense cover the burned area with the cleanest dry dressing you can find Excluding air will lessen the pain Do not use salve ointments oil or antiseptics If the victim is conscious make a solution of half a teaspoon of baking soda or a teaspoon of salt in a quart of water Give the victim a half glass every 15 minutes to replace lost body fluids Stop giving him fluid if he starts to vomit In the case' of bums which cover less than 20 per cent of the body area pain may be relieved and healing speeded by immersing the burned area in cold water as promptly as possible Use a large basin or other vessel and add water and ice cubes If the burned area cannot be immersed apply cold wet towels or gauzed pads Continue treatment changing cold wet towels frequently until pain is relieved and dues nut return when the treatment is stopped Newsman Dies MIAMI ( UPI )— Edwin C McDonald chairman of Thompson
