A last-minute deal between Flynn's organization and the present Ward 22 Democratic Committee leadership prevented the submission of two separate slates of candidates for the 21-member body. "A compromise slate was worked out between the Flynn organization and the present Ward Committee," according to Joe Hogan, who sits on the committee. Hogan called the resulting slate a "unity coalition.'' One of the precipitating factors in the narrowly-averted crisis was the committee's decision this year to ex· pand, as was its choice after a recent change in state law, from a Ward 22 Democratic Committee Chairman Bartholemew McCauley.

TOXIC SHOCK UPDATE We don't hear as much about toxic shock syndrome anymore because reported cases have dropped from 1,000 in 1980 to 150 last year. In 1980, the syndrome caused near panic among women. The condition was eventually linked to super-absorbent tam pons left in place for extended periods of time. There is still an association with tam pon use, and also with the contraceptive sponge. The risk of toxic shock, however, is considered very low. To help prevent toxic shock syndrome, menstruating women should change tampons frequently and watch for the symptoms. They are high fever, rash with peeling skin, vomiting and diarrhea, severe muscle aches, deliriwn, and low blood pressure with shock.
