Questions, Answers
Severe infections of the
ear are not as common as
they were before the ap-
pearance of sulfa drugs and
antibiotics. But while the
severity and frequency of
these infections have been
reduced, earaches sftlL oc-
cur.
Most ear bain comes dur-
ing childhood, .the reason
being that small children
have shorter passages for
infections to ^reach the ear.
When they get colds, they
do not blow the nose or
clear the throat as adults
do. This results in an ac-
cumulation of mucous which
may congest narrow pass-
ages and start an ear infec-
tion.
Infections of this type be-
gin when bacteria reach the
middle ear. The pain-inter-
mittant nt first, then1- con-
stant—is a sign that this has
happened. In this condi-
tion, pail) may be* followed
by drainage. The start, of
drainage may mean the end
of pain because the pressure
has been relieved. Tain sub
sides only when pressure
and infection have been
brought under control.
As bacteria multiply and
produce their poisons, the
body’s natural defenses rise
to fight the infection. Blood
vessels expand to carry
more blood to the ear. Se-
rum passes from blood ves-
sels into the middle ear to
try to neutralize the invad-
ing bacteria. White blood
cells, normally present in
the body, increase in num-
bers to destroy bacteria.
In mild infections the bac-
teria may be overcome be
fore reaching the middle
ear and there will be no
middle ear involvement. In
situations like this, the con-
dition often subsides within
24 hours.
Children with acute run-
ning ears should be taken* to
a phyiejan for examination
and treatment. While in-
fection of the mastoid part
of the ear bone is not as com-
mon as it-onee was, due to
newer drug therapy, it still
. occurs, The mastoid part of
li'ITi'c is connected to
the middle ear. Its cellular
composition resembles a
honeycomb. The cells con-
tain air and each has a thill
lining membrane. An in-
fection in the middle ear
may spread to the mastoid
air cells and cause them to
become infect ml. Tills in.

I receive VA’s vocational
counseling to help me get on
the right track?
A. Yes. In filling but the
application for a change of
course, indicate on the form
that you want vocational
counseling. An appoint-
ment will be scheduled for

Q. I hold a Korean GI

that would pay me a month-

A. No. The total disabil-

not be added to Korean GI
insurance policies that do
not pay dividends. That’s
the law.

Miss Ramona Naumann,
S-Sgt. Gerald Sondergaard
Are United in Marriage
Sunday afternoon, Oct.
13, at 2 o’clock, the Sacred
Heart Catholic Church in
Flatonia was the scene of a
very simple and impressive
ceremony at which, the Rev.
V. A. Raska officiated when
Miss Ramona Ann Naumann
became the bride of S-Sgt.
Gerald F. Sondergaard in a
double ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Herbert Naumann of Cis-
tern. Having been de-
prived of her parents, she
was reared by her half-sis-
ter, and her husband, Mr.
and Mrs. Jim Fajkus, of
Cistern since her infancy.
Their love, care and devo-
tion to her have justly mer-
ited her love, obedience and
honor^which the father and
mother deserve.
The groom is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Philip Arnalz
Miss Sylvia Fajkus of Hous-
ton and Miss Lily Harvey
Spies of Hallettsville, who
wore blue gowns of plain
and embroidered tulle over
satin, styled with low round
necklines off-shoulder fash-
ion, with double ruffles of
tulle. Their ballerina length
skirts were composed of 3
gathered tiers with two set-
ins of embroidered tulle.
Each set-in was edged with
double rows of tulle ruf-
fles.
All of her attendants
wore matching headdresses
and short gloves and car-
ried nosegays of one large
mum encircled with small
mums and satin streamers.
A-2C Robert Krokowski
of Lopez, Pa., served as
best man. A-1C Carl Brul
of La Gunta, Colo., and
S-S.E.T. Keith E. Benick.of

groomsmen. ,A-1C Eldon

tissue and form an abscess
in the mastoid which can be
relieved only through sur-
gery.
Earache in children may
stem from causes other than
infection. Nasal blocking
due to the congestion of a
cold, or large adenoids may
be responsible.* Blocking of
the eustachian tube pre-
vents air from approaching
the middle ear during swal-
lowing or yawning.
Don’t ignore an earache
and don’t probe into the ear
to relieve distress or. the
sense of pressure. Let your
physician decide the cause
and the method of correct-
ing it.

YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER
IS A REAL CONVENIENCE!
' f
A wonderful way for a busy young mother to
save countless hours is by shopping the ads in
her hometown newspaper. By knowing, before
she goes to town, which products she wants and
where to buy them, she can do an efficient job of
marketing While the housewife spends her time
becoming an expert nurse, laundress, cook, play-
mate, and bookkeeper, the local newspaper is
bringing her the shopping news. It tells’ her
about the latest products and services that will
help her accomplish her work most efficiently. II
tells her where to lind the best prices offered on
items she needs. It saves her many long hours of
"shopping around".
