A successfully airborne ski-glider is the con cluding sequence of Gizmo, demonstrating that sometimes the most am bitious dreams really can get off the ground. A winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, Gizmo was praised by New York Times film critic Janet Maslin as "a film guaranteed . to make you smile," by col umnist Rex Reed as "a full scale comedy riot," and by Mademoiselle magazine as "like watching Buster Keaton, Woody Allen and James Bond all rolled into one."

Magie, Ph.D., MP.IL Within two generations an interesting change in atti tudes toward breast-feeding has occurred. Fifty years ago it was common to see a young mother stop and breast-feed her baby in public. No one thought anything of it. In those days it was the woman who smoked a cigarette in public who was considered odd. Today, a woman with a cigarette hanging from her lips passes almost unnoticed. It is the nursing mother who is looked at as an oddity. . Paradoxically our society accepts the health-destroying habit of cigarette smoking but gives little encouragement to the health-promoting practice of breast-feeding. Certainly there are some instances where formula feed ing is necessary when the mother may be unable to breast-feed her baby. Such situations are uncommon, though. The usual reason given for bottle-feeding is that it's more convenient for the mother. She is then left free to pursue the lifestyle of her choice without being present for her baby's nutrient re quirements. It's convenient too in that fathers can assume a more active role in caring for the infant. But the mother's lifestyle and convenience are only two considerations. The baby has needs too. Recent studies show that touching and caring are as important to the baby as the nourishment received during breast-feeding. Severe emotional changes developed in baby monkeys who, were deprived of this closeness. Cuddling during nursing and the feel of the mother's steady heartbeat seems to be psycho logically important to the baby. The nutrient content of breast milk is also important. In the first place, the mother's milk contains some substances that help protect the baby from diseases. A recent report from England showed that breast-fed babies had fewer respiratory virus infections. Mother's milk also contains better protein than formula milk. Her milk protein is al most two-thirds lact albumin and the rest casein. Formula milk is usually mostly casein, the protein found in cow's milk. In addition, the blend of mother's milk is always at the correct level to meet the specific needs of the develop ing infant. Breast-feeding may help control over-feeding as welL The baby nurses untO he is satisfied, not until the bottle is empty. The phrase "nature is best" is applicable. Man's limited knowledge cannot duplicate the intricate balan ces found in natural systems. by the Health Department. Gen eral Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, as a eommunity service.
