Chronically III Child
Means Family Problems
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Press International
New York IUPD In 30,000
homes across the nation there
are children suffering from
puzzling chronic illness
juvenile rheumatoid a r t h
ritis. It sets the joints on fire and
burns the body with fever.
' Medical problems aside,
the parents of these children
face a complicated challenge
In the child-raising arena.
The children are seemingly
well one day and acutely ill
the next. Many of them, at
various stages, require long
periods of hospitaliation.
. The problem of the parents
is this: How do you arrange
ihings including your atti
tude to guarantee -that the
.chronically ill child will
grow up to be a pleasant
"young lady or man instead of
a pampered, spoiled invalid?
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Mor
row of Rochester, N.Y., are
iinwilling experts on the sub
ject. Eileen Morrow, 6, has
Been sick with rheumatoid
arthritis since her third birth
day. .- The Morrows have seven
other children, ranging in
age from 4 months to 11
years.
. When Eileen first became
111 the Morrows went through
a period of high hopes that
she would get' well fast. They
have learned that this Is a
game of "blind man's buff"
that only makes the situation
worse.
Four-Point Program
The Morrows have hit
upon a four-point program to
help Eileen and the family.
They recommend that other
parents with chronically ill
children consider the points
and perhaps adopt them in
the handling of a like
problem.
First, the Morrows believe
In facing facts. They recog
nize the fact that Eileen is
quite ill e v e n though she
sometimes seems quite well,
"We don't at any lime pre
tend that there's nothing
wrong with the child," Mrs.
Morrow said.
Next, the Morrows believe
In treating Eileen In Just the
Way other children are treat
ed in their household.
"She gels her share of
love and prayers, but we try
Picnic Postponed

not to pamper her. She gets
her share of discipline, too
when she needs it," Mrs. Mor
row said.
The third point in the Mor
row program: See that Eileen
gets proper medical care, in
cluding every break that
modern science can muster to
help her live with her
problem.
And the fourth point: En
courage those outside the
family to treat Eileen as a
normal child.
Eileen, blond and blue-
eyed, just returned from her
latest hospitalization. This
one was at the National
Foundation's Arthritis clini
cal study center in Strong
Memorial hospital, Rochester.
She was no stranger to her
brothers and sisters when
she returned from the center
supported by the March of
Dimes. She was no special
character expecting to be
waited on and pampered.
This is because the Mor
rows, during the six months'
hospitalization, tried to keep
Eileen in place as a working
member of the family. It
sounds like a magic achieve
ment considering that Ei
leen left the hospital only for
several weekend visits home.
Here is how the miracle
was accomplished:
Visit Often
To counteract the effect of
Eileens long hospitalization,
the Morrows frequently took
the other children to the
arthritic study center to see
Eileen.
After a while, the entire
family four-monther except
ed was familiar with the ins
and outs of Eileen's tempor
ary habitat. The well chil
dren also met the persons at
the hospital helping Eileen.
On other occasions, Eileen
was issued a weekend pass by
her doctors and allowed
home to visit. At home, she
talked about "my room at the
hospital."
She also talked about
my" physical therapist, doc
tor, nurse. And when she
talked , the other children
knew exactly what she was
talking about. They had been
to the hospital and just let
Eileen try to pull the wool
over their eyes!
This two-way familiarity
also means that Eileen did
not have an advantage to
wheedle special favors. The
other children knew that
their sister was not in
world too much different
from their own. She was in
a place where everyone
knew the Morrows and the
Morrows knew everyone.
During the hospitalization
oilier things were done to re
mind Eileen that she wasn't
being left out of family life.

Women's News
Candidate for Congress
Outlines His Philosophy
Outlining his philosophy of
government, with emphasis
on public education, Dr. Ed
win R. Durno yesterday told
Republican women that "I
am totally opposed to federal
aid to education as to the ele
mentary and secondary level"
and later said student popu
lation in institutions of higher
learning could be double with
out spending another cent on
classroom space if only the
institutions would revise their
class schedules."
Dr. Durno, Medford physi
cian and state senator who is
a candidate for election to
congress from the fourth dis
trict of Oregon, spoke at a
combined meeting of the Med
ford unit, Oregon Federation
of Republican Women, and
the federation's state board
yesterday noon at the Red
Cross building.
The speaker said that a
space utilization study made
on the Oregon State System
of Higher Education for the
legislative fiscal committee
showed that in some Oregon
colleges, classroom utilization
is only about 20 hours per
week. Colleges and universi
ties should work out a sys
tem whereby classrooms are
used on a Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday schedule the same
as Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, Dr. Durno said.
Also, afternoon use is not
as heavy as morning use, he
added, and said this could be
corrected.
Differences Explained
The candidate stressed that
he was not objecting to the
building requests of Oregon
schools as concerned dormi
tories, special rooms or other
needed buildings. He pointed
out that dormitory space is
badly needed, and that the
cost of these buildings is self
liquidating. "These bonding
programs should not be con
fused with the recent space
and time utilization studies"
Dr. Durno said.
Dr. Durno said that he had
been accused of "being against
education and added that
this was far from the case.
No sane person is against
education," he added, saying
that every parent wants his
children adequately educated.
He stressed that the Oregon
legislature in 1859 provided
$2(10,000 for educational tele
vision, $740,000 for the edu
cation of mentally retarded
children in local school sys
tems; $250,000 for gifted chil
dren and additional scholar
ships for teachers, adult and
vocational education and that
school for social workers
had been created.
Elaborating on his opposi
tion to federal aid to educa
tion on the elementary and
secondary levels, Dr. Durno
said it would bring "super
vision, dictation and finally
control."
The candidate declared that
he believed In local autonomy
for school systems, that local
funds should be supplemented
by state assistance, but never
to exceed 50 per cent of the
cost of educating a child.
Questions Asked
Speaking of taxes and the
cost of education, the candi
date asked a number of ques
tions early In his speech which
he said voters and taxpayers
should "meditate on." They
were: Are we going overboard
in construction, in curricula
and administration? Are we
utilizing the buildings and
the administrative personnel
properly? Are 152 days of the
year and the present hourly
usage antiquated and archaic
was born, Mom and infant
on the way home from the
maternity hospital, stopped
off at Eileen's hospital to
visit.
Eileen beamed for days,
talking about her baby sister
to everyone. She was secure
In the knowledge that she
was part of a tightly knit
family.
Pain Abated
"The hardest part of Ei
leen's sickness," Mrs. Morrow
said, "is not to do special
things for her especially
when she is In pain. It breaks
my heart when she is in
pain."
Temporarily, the medical
specialists who make up the
staff of the center have suc
ceeded In abating the pain.
The swelling of Eileen's
wrists, knees and ankles has
been reduced. She can move
about pretty well almost
like a normal child.
She no longer has high
fevers for long periods of
time.
In the fall, the Morrows
hope to enter Eileen in the
first grade at the local school
where four of her brothers
attend.
"We can Just hope that all
goes well," Mrs. Morrow said.
"We want her to be treated
like a normal child in school.
But the Fall is the time her
diseast flares up worst."
with the present day explos
ion of school population? Is
our present method of taxa
tion for education the cause
of the taxpayer's revolt? Is It
fair for itinerants and non
property taxpayers to possess
the right to mortgage our
homes for the education of
their children?
"Should the state, through
its general fund largely de
rived from the income tax, not
bear a greater burden of re
sponsibility? Would not this
be a more equitable source of
educational revenue with
net receipt's tax or a sales
tax, which would make every
body pay something for the
services of government in
general and education in par
ticular? Should the state's
participation approach 50 per
cent of the cost of education
of a child? Should the federal
government more actively
participate in elementary and
secondary education, as well
as in our institutions of high
er learning?"
Dr. Durno said the dignity
and freedom of the individual
comes with, and is preserved
by, education.
Quotes Jefferson
The candidate opened his
talk by quoting Thomas Jef
ferson, to the effect that "I
place economy among the
first and most important vir
tues, and public debt as the
greatest danger to be feared.
To preserve our independence
we must not let our rulers
load us with perpetual debt.
We must make our choice be
tween economy and liberty,
or profusion and servitude.
. . . If we can prevent the gov
ernment from wasting the la
bors of the people under the
pretense of caring for them,
they will be happy.
He then elaborated by say
ing international relations
should be an ail-American
and bipartisan effort; that we
should work for the elimina
tion of the super state; must
preserve local autonomy and
state's rights, the dignity and
freedom of the individual, the
integrity of the family as the
basic political unit; inflation
must be controlled; that so
cialistic experimenters should
be eliminated from congress;
farm subsidies and support
programs should be eliminat
ed; said It would be an evil
and expensive day if medicine
is socialized in America"; said
urban renewal and other
large building programs are
unnecessary and undesirable
In our state; said he believed
in the cooperative effort of
public and private. agencies in
the field of natural resource
development.'
The candidate further said
government should have an
interest in social reform and
said labor and management
are "inevitable partners in
the creation of America's
high standard of living" ra
ther than enemies, a3 Karl
Marx had declared.
Closing his statement of
principles, which Dr. Durno
said would be the basis of his
campaign, he declared that
"working for the full devel
opment and orderly utiliza
tion of our natural resources
is the most important contri
bution that I can make to you
as your congressman."
"Timber is the greatest of
all resource crops in our
state," Dr. Durno said. "Pro
cessing of forest products is
our first Industry. The man
agement of this renewable
resource should be on an ec
onomic and not on a political
basis."
The closing paragraph of
his statement was "Finally
promise to devote my full
time to the activities of gov
ernment as it affects you. I
promise that I will faithfully
carry out my assigned dutiei.
and that I will not meddle in
the affairs of foreign coun
tries." This brought spontan
eous applause from his audi
ence. Dr. Durno was introduced
by Mrs. Frank Bash, club
president.

you don't talk too much. The
same amount often means the
difference between starvation
or subsistence for a family in
Korea.
Or, as Robert W. Sage of
Seoul puts it, "eight dollars
will buy an awful lot of rice
The sum represents the
cash contribution made each
month by an individual
school, club or other organiza
tion to a needy child through
the Foster Parents Plan
(FPP). "Parents" contribute
in all $180 each year, the rest
going for clothing, food pack
ages, medical and social serv
ices, and in the case of Korea
where grade school is com
pulsory, for textbooks.
FPP is a non-profit organi
zation helping 18,000 children
in Belgium, France, Western
Germany, Greece, Hong
Kong, Italy, Viet Nam, and
Korea.
Sage, a handsome 48-year
old bachelor, set up the
branches in Pusan and Seoul
in 1953, immediately after
the Korean cease fire.
The director, in the United
States for his first vacation
in seven years, said that FPP
is taking care of 4,500 Korean
children, some orphaned and
some with one parent, usually
the mother, living.
"There are plenty still in
need." he said, "and if we had
the foster parents, we could
easily double that number."

Korea stopped to fix a flat

Sage said one of the elder
residents asked if they could
help get the children into an
orphanage about 25 miles
away. The alternative: Prob
able death from freezing in
the winter ahead, because the
villagers all were too poor to
take the two in.
"We packed the kids in the

out. On the way td the orpha

I'd keep them."
