Preserve clippings
in heavy plastic
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — For 30 years I have been saving
newspaper and magazine clippings that I pasted in scrap
books but eventually they would turn brown and fall apart.
Those magnetic photo albums with pull up plastic sheets
are the best thing I have found but I cannot afford to keep
buying them. Polly’s Pointers are some of the things I save
for future use. Could you suggest an economical way to
preserve my clippings? — LYNNE.
DEAR POLLY — I preserve magazines and newspapers
by folding in half, putting them in a heavy plastic bag and
sealing it with transparent adhesive tape. I have some that
I have saved for about 10 years and they still look like new.
- MRS.H.M.K.
DEAR LYNNE - Perhaps Mrs. H.M.K.’s letter will help
you. Mrs. J.C.A. also wrote us that she did this and put hers
loosely (if crowded the paper tends to “cut” in the folds) in
a dark plastic bag. Plastic trash bags could be so used. A
certain type or category could be put in to one bag and so
labeled. - POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with the flimsy boxes that
children’s games and puzzles come in. I have only one small boy
and I am sure mothers of several children are even more aware
of this problem. It is disgusting to pay a lot of money for such
things and then have to store them in paper bags or canisters
because the boxes are so flimsy they fall apart as soon as they are
used. My boy is not all that rough with his things so I am not un
reasonable in this. — NAOMI.
DEAR POLLY — I have found a good use for dried corn cobs. I
peeled some corn off the ear to feed to the birds and laid the cob on
the sink. While doing the dishes I had a pot with some dough in it.
I wet the pan and used the corn cob to scrape the dough out, threw
the cob in the garbage and had no messy copper scrubber to
clean. I now use corn cobs to scrape dishes and pots before put
ting them in the dishwasher and also to clean bugs off the car
windshield after a trip. — MARY K.

• Joints change
Ep J with arthritis
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB — My hus
band recently completed a
series of tests and learned he is
suffering from rheumatoid
spondylitis, Marie Strumpell
arthritis. This condition seem
ed to come from an old injury of
some 30 years ago. What is the
future of such a condition?
DEAR READER — This is
sometimes called a variant of
rheumatoid arthritis. The basic
changes in the joints are about
the same.
The unique feature of the dis
ease is that it usually strikes
young men (in about 90 per cent
of the cases) in their later teens
or early 20s. It begins with in
volvement of the sacroiliac
joints, where the spine joins the
large hip bones, of the pelvis.
The initial complaint is often
low back pain. Examination of
the spine, even with X rays,
may not show anything. It is not
hard to realize, then, that an
otherwise healthy, strong,
young man may get tagged with
a label of a malingerer or a
hypochondriac, when in fact he
has a serious problem.
The only way the diagnosis
can be made in most cases at
the beginning is from X rays of
the sacroiliac joints, not the
spine.
Later the involvement of the
joints may spread up the spine,
and the nature of the illness
becomes obvious. Hie joints in
the spine may become fused,
giving the patient a “poker
spine." He won’t be able to
bend over normally because of
his stiff back.
The usual tests for
rheumatoid arthritis may be
negative. This too makes early
diagnosis difficult.
I should point out to you that
the cause of rheumatoid spon
dylitis is unknown. It is not
believed to be associated in any
way with an injury. I would
suspect that your husband’s old
injury is unrelated to his dis
ease.
The treatment of rheumatoid
spondylitis is essentially the
same as that for rheumatoid
arthritis. For more information
on this send me 50 cents and a
self-addressed, stamped
envelope in care of this
newspaper, P.O. Box 1551,
Radio City Station, New York,
NY 10019, and ask for The
Health Letter number 4-11,
Rheumatoid Arthritis.
In nearly a third of the
patients other joints in the
body, particularly the knees,
will become involved. This may
be temporary, and the joints
recover entirely. In other in
stances the joints continue to
show progressive changes, and
the disease becomes almost in
distinguishable from ordinary
rheumatoid arthritis.
It is fair to say that the dis
ease is often milder than many
cases of common rheumatoid
arthritis. There may be inter
mittent attacks of low back
pain and between attacks the
patient may feel fairly well. Os
course, if the whole spine
becomes fixed, the normal flex
ibility is lost and causes dif
ficulty. So, there is a good
chance that your husband will
be able to live a normal life
span with the disease and have
a minimum of problems from
it, compared to a full-blown
case of rheumatoid arthritis.
It is important, though, that
all such patients be under
medical care. There is a great
deal that can be done to limit
joint involvement and to main
tain normal joint function. This
is a fairly continuous program.
Regular evaluations from a
physician to spot early
problems and take corrective .
action often means the
difference between serious
crippling and the capacity to
lead a fairly normal life.
