Otitis Externa is "Swimmer's Ear"
An infection of the ear canal brought on by the presence of too much
moisture in the external ear is commonly referred to as" wimmer' sear."
The &echnical or medical name for thi condition is otitis euerna, meaning
inflammation of the external ear canal.
,,/' Very often otitis ext.ema results from water entering the ear during div­
• ex' swimming. W�rmay become trapped in the ear due 10 the p-esence
of excessive ear wax. The moi lure soften and wears away skin lining the
ouler canal. This makes the canal more susceptible to infection. Otha'
of otitis extana include hair dye, hair spray, or excessive cleaning
olabe tM'I with couon wabs. The ear canal may itch and become in­
flamed. Fluid may drain from the ear at night and often can be seen on
pillows the next morning.
Although nonprescription ear cleaners are vailable, many uthorities

Malcolm Little's early life was
plagued with tragic circumstances
beginning with the murder of his so­
cial activist father. This incident
lead to a host of injustices that scat­
tered the Little children into foster
care.
Although Malcolm was a fine
student and class leader, frustra­
tion and anger as a result of racial
injustics and constant discrimina­
tion led young Malcolm to leave
school and lured him to a life of

"MALCOLM X LIVE!· is
designed to encourage young
people to use knowledge and
education keys to self ware

will show that Malxolm X remains
a compelling historical figure and
role model because his life
demonstrates the finer possibilities
of redemption from tragic cir­

tempt young people.
According to Gayle King,
MAAH curator of education,
"Malcolm's legacy is seen as the
abundance of talent and genius
locked up within so many of our
youth. What's important is that
Malcolm X ur ed his life around.

SHE HAS had eight operations

has had s ery on both eyes, hips,
legs, knees, feet and ankles, her
mother said. "Allover her body."
Dorothea has put her fife on hold;
at one time she wanted to be a nurse,
but she has high expectations for
Telica. And she would like to be
mobile; to be able to take Telica to
parks and flower gardens; to expo e
her to scents and sounds so she can
become more aware of her environ­
ment.
But she feels trapped. And aside
from wanting the e different thing
for her daughter, she thinks and ver­
balizes: "I had a normal baby and I
don't understand why this happened
to her."
othea, ho is a single parent,
� speaks a t tl\e psychological help
she had to get and said "If it wasn't
for my mother and father's (Carol
and Willie J. Leddell's) support' I
don't think I would have made it."
When asked if she would like to
have another child she said "No! I
have suffered to much."
Dorothea said her biggest desire,
at this time, is to be able to provide
Telica with what ever it takes to
make her lif more enjoyable.
