A newly-revised ediiu&i of an

booklet, “If Your Child Has a
Congenital Heart De(.*ct," shows
two adddinn-il defects found sus

not listed in th«* first edition pub

defects are known as transposi

The defects deitiTibotl and illus

Coarctation of the aorta is a
constriction of the large artery
which carries blood from the
heart to the rest of the body. In
most cares repair consists of cut
ting out the pinched area and
sewing the ends together. If .he
section to *> removed is too long
for this a proa oh. a graft may be
used to bridge the gap.
Patent Ductus arteriosus is an
opevi passageway between two
major b|<HKl vessels, the pulmo
nary artery and the aorta, whieh
is needed before birih as a bypass
of the baby's lungs. iThe unborn
child's lungs do not function, i
Normally, this duct close* at or

Tetralogy of Pallor is a combi
nation ol defects named for the j
Pn-nch physician who first dis ,
cribed it. The commonest cause
of "blue babies.-' it usually in- .
eludes a ventricular septal de
fect; an aorta that arises from
both sides of the heart instead of,
only from iho left; a narrowed
valve at the opening of the pul
bonary artery leading to the
lungs; an enlarged right ventri- {
cle or pumping chamber. When
the first three are relieved by '
surgery, the fourth i-ondition cor
rects itself.
Transposition of the great ves
sels sends blood that is low In
oxygen back through the circu
latory system because the main
body artery lacrta* and the pul
monary artery to the lungs are
reversed. It too is a cause of
“olueness." Surgery can relieve j
the effects in some patients and i
in a few cases has brought about!
complete cure.
Tricuspid atiesia means .hat !
there is no opening between the I
upper and lower right chambers.;
Jn order to reach the lungs, .he j
blood flows through an artrial
defect into the left side of (he
heart and enters the right ven
tricle through a ventricular sep
tal defect, from which it passes
into the pulmonary artery. It al
so is a ‘‘blue baby-' condition. Sur
gery cannot vet produce a com
plete cure, but it can relieve the
effects in some patients.
In atrial stenosis and pulmon
ary valvular stenosis, a heart
valve is narrowed, obstructing ,
normal blood flow. Partial or j
complete cures can be effected by !
surgery.

BILLION DOLLAR BABY!
OUR greatly reduced “Big John” freight rates on grain
are proving to be a real bonanza for the South, owning
the door for the development of a great new livestock and
fat-cattle industry. Agricultural experts and colleges in
{the South say it can become a billion-dollar-a-year
industry,
! Until a few short months ago, high freight rates on
grain moving from the grain-surplus Midwest to the
grain-deficit Southeast blocked the development of this
industry. Then “Big John” came along. This is our
lightweight, high-capacity freight car that made it pos
sible for us profitably to offer greatly reduced rates on
grain. So now, for the first time, it is possible for the
v»uth economically to bring in the grain needed to raise
< cattle and hogs at home instead of sending the livfrj
ck elsewhere for fattening and return. At present^
• South annually consumes one billion pounds more
cef than it produces. The same is true of pork.
Conditions are ideal for the development of this indus
try in the South. As it grows and expands, more feed
mills, feed lots and packing houses will be needed and
tailW Vam^sixsL* l&rma will hasea greater
tunity to profit and grow. New job* will be created. Fam
ilies in the South will eat better at lower cost.
To help the South realize the full potential of this
promising young livestock and meat industry, Southern
created a new Department of Agri-Business Services.
It is staffed with men having life-long and successful
experience m agriculture, livestock and poultry raising,
and related activities. These specialists already are hard
at work helping the South write still another chapter
in Its inspiring story of successful economic growth
and diversification.
This is one more way in which Southern is increasing
It* usefulness to the South. All in the South benefit.
