Dicember 8, MO Technician uses new gadget By MRS. FRANK SQUIRE Shortness of Breath ... the facts: As long as you are breathing easy, you don't give a thought to it. When you do become aware of your breathing, it's usually because you're short of breath. and . . Shortness of breath on little or no exertion is never normal, regardless of your age, your "out- of-condition" state, or your general way of life. Shortness of breath may mean nothing or it may be a sign of something seriously wrong. It all depends upon the facts. How About Smoking Do you smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day? If you do, you're considered a heavy smok- er. Short of Breath ? You are short of breath if you are aware of labored, uncomfortable breathing. Anyone who is short of breath struggles to breathe, gasps for breath. Most experts think that heavy cigarette smoking can cause many lung conditions, of which shortness of breath is one symptom. Don't confuse shortness of breath with just rapid breathing. If you are in a hot, humid room, or you are very upset, you may breathe much faster than usual. Panting is normal in these cir- cumstances and is not real shortness of breath. It's A Signal Shortness of breath is not a disease in itself. It is a symptom of some underlying disease. The conditions most likely to cause shortness of breath are . . . How Long Has It Lasted? Shortness of breath may be a sign of some- thing wrong the first time it happens, though it may last only a few minutes. However, it is more usual for shortness of breath to come on so gradually, that you do not notice it for some time. asthma (an allergic reaction in the lungs) emphysema (in which the lungs over- stretch and hold in too much air) bronchitis (inflammation of the lung tubes) pneumonia heart disease (with lung congestion) Only when you think back over weeks or months, do you realize that there has been a change in your breathing. That flight of stairs seems so much higher than it was a few months ago I Other Symptoms Any unusual shortness of breath, by itself, may be serious. But it is especially serious when it is combined with such other symptoms as chest pain, cough, blood spitting, wheezing, quick gain or loss of weight. As soon as you realize that you are distinct- ly more short of breath than you used to be, see your doctor. It Can Be Natural Shortness of breath isn't always a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes shortness ' of breath is normal. For instance . . . Right after moderate exercise, if you've let yourself get badly out of condition. Right after setting-up exercises, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, or any heavy exertion. What To Do About Shortness Of Breath If you are short of breath, rest. There is no other specific treatment for shortness of breath in itself. Even when rest does bring relief, you should get a thorough checkup to find out what is wrong. If distress continues when you are rest- ing, better take action right away. Except for rest, the only thing you yourself can do for short- ness of breath is to see a doctor. When you hurl yourself into violent exer- cise — tennis, swimming — after a strict- ly sit-down winter. (It isn't very smart to do this, anyway.)

HURON COUNTY TB ASSOCIATION They learn to share ONLY 14 SHOPPING DAYS CHRISTMAS PS kids adopt Korean Principal Arthur B. Idle re- ported recently that collections would again be made among the pupils at the Exeter Public School to "adopt" Park Hung Jin, This will mark the fourth year that the Korean lad will be given assistance by the local school under the Foster Parents' Plan Incorporated, It costs the students $192 to adopt the youth and the money is raised in lieu of Christmas gift exchanges among the stu- dents. Mr. Idle explained that the project was undertaken when it was found many of the students were developing the attitude that Christmas was a time for tak- ing—not giving. He said the project has helped overcome the selfish attitudes of some children, as all the money that would normally be spent on gifts—even for the teachers— goes to feed and clothe Park Hung Jin. The school receives periodic letters from the Korean boy and there is little doubt as to the benefits he derives from the generosity of those in the Ex- eter school. Each of his letters contains some reference to the money and his thankfulness in re- ceiving it. In the last letter received from the case worker, the following information was detailed: Dear Foster Parents: Hung Jin, your lovely foster child, is well adjusted to his school life as a 3rd and gradu- ating school-year in m id d le school.
