I had a small paper label on string around my neck which read, "Unaccompanied Minor". And indeed I was unaccompanied, since more often than not other passenger sat beside me and only other children, if any, would speak with me. I kept anything of interest that was in the seatback pocket in front of me. For example, this packet of "Paludrine" tablets. One packet was in each of the seatbacks of a BOAC DC4-M "Argonaut" flight which terminated in Rangoon, Burma. I was of sufficient intelligence to know that one does not chew pills as if they were complimentary candy. Even so, though, as a grown-up I now see that the dosage (0.1mg) is so low that they are more a "Takes Good Care of You" promotion than a drug.
