"The same studious consideration should be given to jolting transport vehicles which carry infants and small children bicycles and such powered vehicles as motorcycles and motor cars driven rapidly and habitually over rough roads," Dr. Caffey says. "The recurrent exposure to the snowmobile probably offers the greatest hazard to infantile brains and hearing," he adds, while "the pathogenic, brain-jolting whipiash potentials for infants and younger children who are carried habitually in soeerboats over rough water and in airplanes in rough weather are fete tor of St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Mansfield, officiating.

Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society. Crirw i 90 4 M'J By ALTON' BLAKESLEE NEW YORK (AP) Children are not cocktails that need shaking to be good, a physician warns. Angrily seizing and shaking a "bad" infant or youngster can cause brain damage, broken bones, or even death, writes Dr.

John Caf-fey of Pittsburgh. Some injuries are like those from "whiplash" in automobile collisions. Dr. Caffey tells of one powerful, 2.33-pound nursemaid who was blamed for killing three infants and injuring or maiming 12 others over an eight-year period. The 'ncidents a 1 occurred when she was taking care of youngsters in middle-class families who gave their children expert pediatricians' care.

The nurse was considered to be very kind to children. In another instance, the same woman caused a whiplash neck injury in a baby whose back she pounded to "burp" him. "Shakings are generally considered innocuous both parents and physicians," Dr. Caffey, of the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, writes in the American Journal of Diseases of Children. But he cites 27 recorded cases of injury or death from shakings, and thinks this "is only an infinitesimal portion of the uncounted thousands of moderate, unadmitted, undetected and unrecorded whiplash shakings which probably occur every day in the United States." An infant's or child's head is pretty large relatively for weak neck muscles, and violent shaking can cause neck injuries or burst blood vessels in the young brain.

Bones of legs or arms can be broken from the shearing action of the movements, Dr. Caffey says. Permanent damage to brains or eyes, mental re- Tagged by Nixon WASHINGTON (UPI) Benjamin F.

Pidwon BUCYRUS Mrs. Lula M. Pidgeon, 54, ofBucyrus RD 2, died Saturday afternoon at Bucyrus Community Hospital following a long illness. She was born Feb. 27, 1917, in Warren.

She moved to the Bucyrus area in 1969 when her husband, the Rev. Kenneth J. Pidgeon, became pastor of the North Robinson and Sulphur Springs Lutheran churches. She attended both the St. John's Lutheran Church in Sulphur Springs and St.

Paul's Lutheran Church in North Robinson and was a member of the North Robinson Community Club. Besides her husband, she is survived by her mother, Mrs. Mary Papke Huprich of Lake Milton. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at St.

Paul's Lutheran North Robinson, with the Rev. Michael Goldner, pas tardation or death can result. "The whiplash shaking of infants and younger children are precarious, pervasive, prevalent, and pernicious practices which can be observed wherever parents, parent-substitutes, infants and small children congregate; in the home, on the street, in buses, nurseries, kindergartens, day-care centers, orphanages, 'preschool' schools, in parks, playgrounds, shopping centers, and even in the waiting rooms of pediatric clinics. any well-intentioned, responsible parents, who think of nothing of giving a small child a 'good shaking or a series of such shakings, and would not dream of giving their children a series of 'good' blows or punches on the head. "Yet the cumulative pathogenic effects of repeated mild or moderate whiplash shakings of the head, though inapparent clinically, may be far more grave than sin JONES Phone 522-8111 681 PARK gle, even if heavy, blows or punches to the head." Dr.

Caffey also cautions about other accepted practices that shake the infant's head, such as tossing the baby into the air, giving him a violent ride while he sits astride the parent's ankle, holding the infant by his ankles and swinging him around the air, spinning until he becomes dizzy, or other rough play. He also casts a doubtful eye at many "toys and recreational contraptions which generate whiplash shakes and jolts to the head," saying they should be analyzed to see whether they could cause possible harm to infants and young children from prolonged use. "These items should include baby bouncers and infant jumpers and, for younger children, the swings, seesaws and play-slides in amusement parks, the powered vibratory and practice equipment in gym- MEMORIAL HOME FOR FUNERAIS AVENUE, WEST MISS COLUMBUS CROWNED Debbie Mohler, a 19 -year old speech and hearing major at Purdue University, was named "Miss Columbus USA" during a four-day Columbus Day observance in Columbus, Saturday.

The routine turns us into people we do not recognize. We tread our own private little mills, never thinking, never truly feeling, simply existing, and taking the path of least resistance, making life as easy for ourselves as possible. Today more than ever what Thoreau had to say about the human race is true; "To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face? We must learn to reawaken by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep." You can always expect personal service and quality from DEMYAN MEMORIALS, 166-170 Vennum 522-5021.
