Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY I found an unfinished piece of em
broidery I had stitched as a child. It is six small coasters
and one large one to put under a pitcher. Now that I am
finishing the embroidery I would like to back each piece
or finish them off some way. Also, I want to thank Claire
for sending in the way to stiffen crocheted doilies as I
had been wanting to know how to do this for a long time
—DEB.
DEAR DEB — You might back your embroidered
pieces with a heavy cotton fabric. When stitching
around them leave an opening large enough to slip in a
piece of plastic cut from the top of a margarine tub or
something similar. Sew opening together by hand. This
plastic will provide protection for a table top and can be
removed when the coasters need washing or cleaning.
Also you might be able to buy metal coasters the em
broidery would fit in after being tightly stretched
around a piece of cardboard or plastic cut to the proper
size. The last idea would be more practical if each piece
were covered with thin glass cut to size. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I have quite a few Pet Peeves but one of
the worst is with the directions on things we buy, like in the
drug store, that are printed so small you cannot read them.
—MRS.T.H.
DEAR POLLY — To have a better pie crust make it as usual
but before adding the filling put the crust in the oven at 400
degrees for five minutes or until crust is warm and beginning
to cook. Add filling and the crust will not be soggy — the pre
heating does it. — ELLEN.
DEAR POLLY — There are certain occasions when many of
us like to wear white kid gloves but the cleaning is something
else. I found the solution is to first rinse in mild soapy
detergent, slip them on the hands and then rub the hands
together with just a bit of toothpaste as this mild abrasive
makes them come clean. Rinse in warm water, hang by the
cuff end and while drying blow in them ever so often to keep
the fingers open. This is for washable kid. I have also found
that toothpaste does a wonderful cleaning job on my eye
glasses. —CLARA.

Pinworm infection
hard to eliminate
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D,
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am
in need of answers about
pinworms. My 4-year-old
daughter has been infected at
least a half dozen times within
a year. At first it seemed like
every couple of months they
would recur. The doctor gave
me medicines to treat her.
Now within six weeks after
the last dose she is infected
again. It seems that the
medicine always takes care of
them because I check with the
flashlight at night.
She always starts out with a
bad stomach ache, then I
know enough to check her out
again. I have four other
children who have had them
only occasionally.
When I give the medicine
the entire family takes it. ]
told the doctor about the fre
quent recurrence. He said
sometimes the pinworms
stick up in the appendix and
don’t get treated. He stated
that sometimes when the
appendix is removed it is
crawling with worms. He also
stated that the worms can
cause symptoms of appen
dicitis, but that they did not
remove an appendix just for
pinworms.
I have also heard stories
about washing hands before
eating. What I can’t figure out
is why one child in the family
is so susceptible. An answer
would bring relief to our
minds.
DEAR READER -
Pinworms are a very common
infection. Fortunately they
usually cause more discom
fort than harm. The most
common symptom is itching
around the anal area.
The female worm crawls
out of the rectal area at night
and this is what produces the
itching feeling.
There is some disagreement
as whether pinworms actually
cause indigestion or upset
stomach as you suggest in
your letter. It is true that the
worms lodge in the blind end
of the large colon (cecum) in
the area where the appendix
is, but they may also be pre
sent in much of the large
bowel and small intestine.
There are usually eliminated
with adequate treatment.
The reason that recurrences
are so frequent is that the in
fection is so widespread. Most
likely your 4-year-old has not
learned proper hygiene yet. In
small children, scratching and
putting unclean hands to the
mouth is a frequent way of re
infecting oneself with another
cycle of eggs.
The eggs can also live on
bedding and other areas but
usually only for a day or two
because they don’t survive dry
air very well.
The best thing I can suggest
is to make a real effort to
teach your small child better
hygiene. Be sure at the begin
ning of treatment that she is
completely bathed and clean
and has clean underwear,
clean bedding and that this is
carried out regularly. Certain
ly all of the children should
wash their hands carefully
before eating snacks or
otherwise putting their hands
to the mouth. When one child
in the family is infected it’s
usually a good idea to treat
the entire family as you have
been doing.
That’s about all you can do.
Just keep in mind that they
are not serious even though
they are distressing.
Whenever they recur you’ll
just have to treat them again.
For information on when
and how to treat a cold send 50
cents for The Health Letter,
Number 3-2, Colds and Flu
Group, Prevention and Treat
ment. Enclose a long,
stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing. Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, P. O. Box

York, NY 10019.
