Instructed by Cecil Neil of Gai
nesville, Mrs. Hix likes to “paint
things that might not be here in
years to come,” she said, “like old
buildings, horses, mills. I photo
graph it and then paint it.”
Mrs. Hix said that she loved to
rin in treating flu or chicken pox and
an increased risk of Reyes syndrome.
The Institute of Medicine of the
National Academy of Sciences has
reviewed the pilot study and found
“strong support” for the link.
Although personnel from the Food
and Drug Administration, the Na
tional Institutes of Health and the
Centers for Disease Control will con
tinue the study through next winter,
the Institute of Medicine advised that
the federal government not wait to
inform and protect the public.
As a result, Health and Human
Services Secretary Margaret M.
Heckler has asked manufacturers to
remove any recommended use in flu
and chicken pox from aspirin-con
taining products aimed at children
and to add a warning to all aspirin
containing products against use for
flu and chicken pox in children and
teens. ,
The pilot study looked at the histo
ries of drug treatments and other
factors of 29 young people who got
Reyes syndrome last year. Use of

aspirin for flu or chicken pox symp
toms was the common thread shown
in 28 of the 29 (whereas ordinarily
less than half the young people with
flu or chicken pox would be expected
to take aspirin.)
U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett
Koop has said that most childhood
illnesses are self-limiting and usually
don’t require any medication at all.
Doctors often suggest that a child
with fever rimply be made comfort
able with cool compresses.
Of course, physicians continue to
find aspirin useful and safe for adult,
teen and childhood arthritis and other
conditions.
Reyes syndrome is a rare condition
a few hundred cases a year. It was
named in 1963 for an Australian
pathologist who described it as a
swelling of the brain, combined with
liver malfunction and blood chemis
try disorders leading in most cases to
death.
Improved recognition and early
treatment of the disease has helped
reduce the death rate.

rules on rezoning requests
Five zoning variances were ap
proved and another was postponed
for further study by the Forsyth
County Board of Appeals in its regu
lar meeting last week.
One of the variances will allow
four, instead of the required five,
parking spaces per 1,000 square feet
at a regional headquarters for Chem
lawn in the Windward development.
The firm will occupy 13,000 square
feet of a 20,000-square-foot building at
the intersection of Old Alpharetta and
McGinnis Ferry roads.
Under the Comprehensive Zoning
Resolution, 100 parking spaces would
be required at the site. 'Hie variance
granted last week reduces that num
ber to 80.
The smaller number of parking
spaces will allow for more grass and
provide extra space for screening a
dumpster which will serve the build

In other business last week, the
appeals board granted approval to
the following variances:
• Donald M. and Tina Ruth Youngb
lood, front yard variance of 37.50 feet,
for placement of a mobile home 52.50
feet from the right-of-way on Frix
Road, rather than the required 90
feet.
• Glenn Wilburn Whitt, lot size
variance, for replacement of a mobile
home located on a one-acre lot with
another residence. Whitt plans to
replace a mobile home that has been
on the property 14 years, rather than
moving to a new location, so that he
and his wife can take care of his
mother-in-law, who lives in another
residence on the lot. As it does in
other “hardship” cases, the appeals
board granted the variance provided:

• Robin Lathem, front yard vari

Action on a 25-foot front yard vari
ance was delayed last week by the
board because the applicants, Sathit
and Chacharee Chaiysin, were not
present.
The variance was requested for
placement of a house and garage 30
feet from the right-of-way instead of
the required 55 feet. The proposed
building site is located in Indian Knoll
subdivision.
The Chaiysins were represented at
the appeals board meeting by a local
realtor. Members of the board, how
ever, needed more in-depth informa

requested, and therefore wanted to
talk directly to the applicants.
