Croup Causes and Tonsillectomy Questions Answered
A reader asks about croup in a four year old, its sudden onset at night, and whether tonsil removal helps. The expert explains croup is a laryngeal spasm from throat infections, not cured by tonsillectomy, and offers immediate steps: call a doctor, possible antibiotics, steam treatment, cough medicine for older children, and hot chest packs. In severe cases a life saving tracheostomy may be required, though rare. The note ends with a reminder about diphtheria immunization and a caution about worrying over tapeworms after medical evaluation.
Auld Lang Syne 25 Years Ago
Community notes recall the golden anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Angelton at their Price farm home southwest of Ottawa. They list local events including tonsil removal for Galen Heritage and John Stratton Page leaving for a geophysical exploration job in Dallas with Magnolia Petroleum Company. The Elder Mercantile Company sent experts to Pomona to install a furnace for J. T. Oldnaker. New Sunday School Baseball League grounds under Fred Martin, Clarence Sheldon, and J. W. Hopkins are taking on a major-league look. A Washburn and Son trolley behind the offices accelerates ice deliveries. The item closes with a prayer for humility in Jesus.

Two Goofing Off Periods By HAL BOYLE
New York AP notes two annual business slumps the winter and summer doldrums. In summer, morale wanes as staff chase vacations, long coffee breaks, and calls to travel agencies while sales lines suffer. Some firms close, but relief comes only when Labor Day ends the mood and workers commit to earning year end bonuses.

Doubt Dams Would Work In Montana Floods
Gov Tim Babcock told the Missouri Basin Interagency Committee that small dams on tributaries would limit floods more effectively than large river dams. He cited plans for Fort Benton and Fort Peck developments costing nearly 357 million dollars as not financially justified, noting most damage was in tributaries with minimal Missouri River impact.
