A teacher brought in a group from Bethel to spend the morning looking at Books, talking about them, listening to records, and taking a collection of 30 back to their classroom. This place was like a ''beehive" and you should have seen all the activity in so small a space. We still marvel and so did our borrow ers for we were constantly asked, "How do you manage?

WASHINGTON The black mar ket in babies Is thriving and will continue to grow unless citizens In sist oh good adoption laws and practices, says Dr. Martha M.. Eliot, chief of the U. S. Children's Bureau. -. - "As long as responsible citizens patronize the black market," Dr. Eliot says, "or ask doctors, lawyers, ministers or Others to intercede for them in getting babies from un married mothers and as long as our adoption laws and practices are in adequate this traffic will continue." Dr. Eliot was stirred by indict ments returned by grand juries in Essex County, Mass., Baltimore, Md., and New York City. She said the New York black market had ex tended to points all along the East ern seaboard and that participants in the baby-selling ring have been charging from. $750 to $2,500 per baby. - Some instances reported to the Bureau . concern the adoption of babies known to be syphilitic or to have other Inherited ailments. One woman was found to have placed her baby for adoption three differ ent times. The mother always show, ed up to regain custody of the , child and sold It again. One time she sold the Jnfant right outside the court 100m door. In addition to the black market, which involves the sale of babies for profit, there's the gray market, which is causing child welfare of ficials equal concern. The gray market, according to Dr. Eliot, in volves well-meaning citizens such as doctors, lawyers, and ministers, who "do not hesitate to make life time decisions for mothers and children and adoptive parents, which essentially are not based on medical, social or legal findings." Dr. Eliot urges that full legal protection be given parents, child and adopting parents in the trans fer of parental rights and that no transfer be valid and binding with- Hay wood Health By MRS. BARBARA ROUNTREE t County Clinical Nurse Most everyone is familiar with the saying, "A stitch in time saves nine". This phrase is often the ease in many phases, of life. Particu'prly ean. it mean the dif ference in health or sickness of children. Your child's health, growth and physical development depend largely on two things. , First, It depends on adequate nu trition .and by "adequate" we mean food of the .right kind and amount at proper times. A new-born baby's digestive capacity is very mall, and as the baby grows, the small but frequent feedings have to be Increased. Thus the importance of following your doctor's instructions carefully and making sure that he checks your baby's progress often. Secondly, growth , and develop ment depends on the child's free dom from disease. Prevention of disease cannot be guaranteed, but with our present day advancement of knowledge about childhood dis eases and with improved vaccines, many diseases have been controll ed or modified. : ' Every child should be immuniz ed against diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus at infancy (2-3 months) and against smallpox at 5 months of age. At present, there is a serum used in case of exposure to measles and this treatment usually prevents a severe attack. If the inoculation is given in the first four days after exposure, the disease may be pre vented. : . " " Immunizations have cut the In fant death rate noticeably in this country since 1916. According to 1916-48 data of the National Office of Vital Statistics for North Caro lina, deaths due to whooping cough dropped from 402 in 1916 to 34 In 1949. Diphtheria deaths dropped from 410 to 24 for the same period and smallpox deaths dropped from 13 to 0. '' ; ; One has to face facts and fig ures tell the story of how these diseases were dreadful and terri fying in the pre-vaccine days tak ing thousands of lives each year Today these diseases are not fear- ea, out some iniants never get this protection and, thus, the dis ease still exists. - ' Never, forget the Importance of such an important discovery as im munization. Visit your doctor or health clinic for information con- cerning your child s immunizations. Give your child a chance.
