the
problems
of
disabled babies, her first
hard attack often renters on
the parents.
"Their guilt feelings are
sometimes something fierce,"
she explain ed .
"Some of
the parents have a terrible
time adjusting to the handi
rapped child
I find myself
being
harsh
w ith
the
parents."
In March, Mrs. Wolters
ventured into a new program
to help handicapped infants
in ths-ir homes. Her position
is funded through the United
C e re b ra l Palsy Assn, of
Oregon, which in turn is
p a rtia lly funded through
United Good Neighbors.
Through this program she
gains access to mentally
retarded children.
infants
with Cerebral Palsy and
infants that are develop
m e n ta lly or p h y s ic a lly
delayed She has nine active
rases and four infants whom
she sees on a consulting
basis.
The latke Oswego resident
brought to the program an
associate degree in Develop
mental Disabilities which she
earned at Clackamas Com
mumty College.
Although she must some
times lx- “mean with the
parents", the job has cap
tureil her heart.
"1 love it. It's frustrating
sometimes, but I cannot see
myself doing anything hut
working with these kids."
Any harshness she directs
at the parents is meant to
help the child
"The parents often treat
the child as a baby and try
to make
the
child
as
comfortable as possible. They
don't make demands ot the
child, which he needs."
Through her involvement,
which she admits can some
times become personal, she
teaches children to crawl and
ait up. This might not sound
astonishing to an average
parent, but to the parents of
a Mongoloid baby, it ran
seem like a miracle.
Parents will often watch a
disabled child perform for
Mrs. Wolters, but when she
leaves the chilli refuses to do
anything for his parents.
Again the child development
specialist must become the
harsh task master.
"I find myself tiring really
cold." she said. "I tell them,
’look, it's you, it's not the
child'.
It's very hard for
them to accept that."

her
clients'
homes through the aid of
public- health nurses.
The
nurses visit homes and
clinics and when they find a
disabled child, the nurses
offer Mrs. Wolters' services.
Som etim es the
parents,
em barrassed
and
g u ilt
ridden, don't want anyone.
"I would never go in
unless the parents want me
there," said Mrs. Wolters.
"That is why the nurse's role
is so special."
One family has a normal
baby normal except that he
is the child of a 21 year old
re tard e d m o th er and a
85 year old father The rhild
was simply not getting the
kind of social nourishment
found in normal families. In
this case, the young social
worker had to work with the
mother, to get her to help
her child.
in that instance, I was
there just to teach the
mother what to do, not to
open the door because the
child might go out and fall
down the- stairs. They also
leave their gas burners on all
the time to heat the house.
The next step is. don't heat
the house- with the burners."
Mrs. Wolters works with
her young charges through
three years old, although she
confesses she sometim es

Then
she
must
find
them
a
nursery school and that has
its own problems.
"Most nursery schools will
say, 'I'm sorry, we're not
qualified'
they won't even
give the child a chance. It's
frustrating, especially with
the- Downs iMongoloidl child.
They benefit so much by
being with normal children.”
says Mrs. Wolters.
" It just goes in a cycle,”
said Mrs. Wolters.
"When
one goes into a nursery
school I can take another.
When I came in here. I didn't
even have a desk and now I
have 13 children. I love it."
United Cerebral Palsy has
funded her position through
the end of the year, but she
feels the agency will fund the
position again and even open
a second slot in Clackamas
County if the money is
available.
"This is the first year for
this program in Multnomah
County
working with the
mothers and the rhild in the
home," said Mrs. Wolters,
"but it’s so necessary. A lot
if mothers just don't know
what to do with a handi
rapped child.
It's a very
panicky feeling."

"A W ill of Your Own," an
Extension bulletin recently
revised by Mrs. Johnston
and reviewed by the Com
mittee on Public Service and
Information of the Oregon
Bar.
While not everyone may
need a will, Mrs. Johnston
emphasizes, family members
should base the decision of
whether or not to make their
wills on knowledge of their
own situation, and what the
law determines will be done
when one dies without a will.
There are many reasons
for having a will, Mrs.
Johnston points out in the
bulletin.
In the rase of a young
family, it ran save costs and
the appointment by a court
of a guardian
for the
children.
It enables the
individual to give part of his
estate to a nonrelative or to
a charity, or to make special
provisions for a handicapped
or especially deserving child.
Other examples where a will
is helpful are listed in the
bulletin.

SWEET-SOUR SAUCERY FOR TROUT
There's an old saying
"Trout are good in the
creek, better in the basket,
best in the frying pan."
That's because pan-frying is
the best way to cook trout.
Like other fresh water
fish, trout do not require
much seasoning as their nat
ural flavor is sweet and rich.
Sauces that are often served
with pan-fried trout include
mayonnaise, lemon, tartare
and barbecue sauce
An unusual sweet-sour
sauce adds distinction to
this trout recipe The sauce
is a delicately flavored, col
orful combination of green
pepper, onion, crushed pine
apple and pimiento. It is
served over crumb-coaled
pan fried trout, with a gar
nish of coconut
For rich buttery flavor
when pan-frying fish, use
Blue Bonnet Margarine. Not
only does it taste like but
ter, but it produces the same
crispy coating and golden
brown color in frying. For
best results, heat margarine
slowly so it doesn't burn,

is hot. Do not crowd the A delightfully refreshing new flavor combination

2. Dilute the poison whenever possible Give glass of water
• Patient is unconscious or is having fits
• Swallowed poison was a strong corrosive
• Swallowed poison contained kerosene gasoline or
other petroleum distillates (unless it contains dangerous
insecticide as well, which must be removed)

Top quality red

Redwood furniture should
hr- stained with a jx-netrating
sealer, not just a top coat to
preserve it.
.A penetrating
sealer stain provides depth
of color and allows the grain
of the wood to show through
clearly.
You should be careful to
keep redwood

Remove soil and

Redwood stained by soft

thorough rinsing.
A good
hosing is usually all that is
needed to keep the frames
clean. An application of auto
wax will help protect the
finish.
It is adv isahle to store
redwood fu rn itu re under
shelter in winter months, or
at least to rover it. A new
coat of [»enetrating sealer
stain should be applied at the
ix-ginning of each season.
4. Directions for making patient vomit
• Give one tablespoonful (one-half ounce) of Syrup of Ipecac
for child one (1) year of age, or older plus at least one cup
of water If no vomiting occurs after 20 minutes this dose may
be repeated one time only.
• If no ipecac syrup is available, try to make patient vomit
by tickling back of throat with spoon or similar blunt
object after giving water
• Do not waste time waiting for vomiting, but transport
patient, if indicated, to a medical facility. Bring package
or container with intact label
