Notebook
Ida Risser
Often when I go to a public
gathering, someone will recognize
me from my picture in Lancaster
Farming newspaper. One of the
first things that they will say is,
“You are so busy, how do you get
so much done?” Now, I do not
believe that I do any more than
other people do. However, if I
really think about it, maybe I have
a few possible answers.

worthwhile to put in it. And, maybe
just writing things down makes
them appear more numerous.
Another thing, I have relatives that
never “walked” anywhere if they
could “run.” They were real
hustlers. Perhaps I’ve inherited a
bit of that trait.
Another answer might lie in the
things that I don’t do! My shopping
is confined to occasional visits to
the grocery store. I am not fond of

All of these things give me more
time to do what I enjoy. The
newspaper gets read, the house is
kept neat and I even take time to
watch the birds at the feeder that
my son made. When I saw 24 When this cold blood returns to

• Move the victim to shelter and
warmth as rapidly as possible.
• Gently remove all wet clothing.
The feeble amount of heat energy
the victim has left must not be
expended on warming and drying
clothes.
• Apply to the central core
of the body (head, neck, sides and
groin). Place the victim on a hard
flat surface, this will allow the
administration of cardio
pulmonary resuscitation should it
be needed.
• Wrap warm, moist towels - or
other textiles - around the victim’s
head, neck, sides and groin. As the
packs cool, rewarm them by ad
ding warm water (about 105 o F).

First aid advice ter hypothermia victims
Check the temperature of the
water with the elbow, it should be
warm but not to burn. Hot water
bottles and heated blankets can
also be used.
. • An effective field measure is
for one or two of the rescuers to
remove their own clothing, using
their bodies to warm the victim’s
naked body. A sleeping bag or
blanket should be used to conserve
heat.
• If the victim appears dead,
heart massage and mouth-to
mouth resuscitation should be
administered. Never put an un
conscious victim in a bathtuo. in
cases of mild hypothermia, dry
clothing and shelter may be all
that is needed before the victim
appears normal. However all
hypothermia victims should be
seen by a doctor. Maryetta
Dorricott, Delaware County Ex
tension home economist advises:
• Do not give the victim anything
to drink, especially alcohol.
• Do not rub frozen body areas,
especially with snow.
• Do not wrap a hypothermic in a
blanket without an auxiliary
source of heat unless it is to protect
him from further heat loss.
