FUTURE BRIGHTER FOR
MOTHERS, INFANTS
NEW YORK - Scientists- gaz
ing not Into crystal balls but
Into laboratories round the world,
predicted at a recent meeting on
birth doferts that the following
life-saving advance* might be
come practical within the next
few years:
Medical and surgical treatment
of unborn babies Methods have
been devised which enable phy
sicians to detect some ll'.'e-threat
lening abnormalities affecting the
unborn. In medical centers In
this country and abroad several
infants have been partially re
moved from the uterus, treated,
then returned to the uterus. A
small number of babies — and
all the mothers — survived the
extraordinary treatment. As the
technique improve*, so will the
number of survivors, the scien
tists believe.

Companion
Your telephone directory is one of over 12
million which are distributed annually to more
than 1,000 cities and towns throughout the South.
Chances are it is a bigger book each year, for
its growth reflects the growth and progress of
your community.
A lot of work goes into making your tele
phone boow. It’s compiled with great care to
make it as useful and as attractive as possible.
You’ll find valuable information in the intro
ductory pages of the directory, including emer
gency and telephone service numbers as well as
local and long distance information.
And don't forget the Yellow Pages! It’s one of
the handiest ways available to find facts about
products and services.
As a companion to your telephone, the direc
tory is a vital part of your reliable and high
quality telephone service.

ITS EASIER FOR FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES TO
CONTACT YOU if your printed business or personal sta
tionery gives your complete name and address.
That includes your complete telephone “address," too—
not just your phone number, but your area code as well.
More and more busy men and women are tinding it valu
able to have their area codes printed on their letterheads
and business cards. ’ •
And, even if you don’t use printed stationery, it’s still a
good idea to let your friends know your area code along
with your phone number. And to use their area codes
when you call them. Remember, using area codes makes
your calls go through faster.

of the dreaded Rh blood disease
in children has been developed
and tested successfully on sev
eral hundred women. When a
woman gives birth some of the
infant's red blood cells may en
ter the mother’s circulation. If
she is Rh-negative and the baby
Rh-positive- her body produces
antibodies against the baby's
cells. During a subsequent preg
nancy, these antibodies may at
tack the blood of the unborn fe
tus causing the disease. The new
vaccine, given within 48 hours of
the birth of the first child, pre- -
vents the development of the
antibodies. Thus, Rh-disease is;
prevented While still being test-!
ed physicians predict its general
use within a few years.
Rubella immunity test, vaccine
by 1970's. Rubella- or German
measles. Is generally a mild dis
ease. However, when it strikes
a woman in the early months of
pregnancy, it may cause irre
parable damage to the unborn
baby. A new, apparently safe,
three-hour test to detect rubella
immunity has been developed re
cently- as has a vaccine to pre
vent the disease. Both are expect
ed to be ready for general use
in the 1970’s, about the time the
next cyclic outbreak of the dic
ease is expected. The last epi
demic occurred in the U. S. in
1963 1964, leaving a desolate
trail of damaged children.
Vaccine or not. a leading phy
sician at the birth defect* meet
ing urged that commbnittes un‘
dertake a massive 'family plan
ning campaign if a rubella out
break occurs. With the highly ef
fective pill and IUD, the phy
sician noted, women can post
pone their pregnancies until
such time as the epidemic is
stemmed — avoiding a lifetihie
of tragedy. '

DIETETIC CANDIES UPSET
TODDLERS' TUMMIES
New Havel). Conh. (WMNS)—
Mothers, beware that in the ef
fort to prevent cavities in yopr
youngsters' teeth, you don’t in
advertently cause them to have
runny tummies. A pediatrician
from the Yale - New Haven hos
pital reported in the New Eng
land Journal of Medicine that
children between 20 and 36 mas.
of age developed diarrhea within
two to five hours a'fter they had
eaten dietetic mints. Another phy
sician reported that one of his
adult male patients also develop
ed gastro intestional complaints
after eating ‘sugarless’ candy.

FOUR CHECKS'FOR
CANCER DETECTION
New York (VVMNS) — Earli
er detection and treatment are
the roads to cancer survival —
and that’s why the American
Cancer Society urges the follow
ing regular, routine physical ex
amination. Ahnual chCst x-ray;
annual rectal -examination, sirtce
three out of four of those Who
develop rectal can could be saved
with early detection} annual
breast examination by a physi

tion; annual pelvic examination
with Papanicalou test.
GARDEN TIME
The pruning of ornamental
shrubs is one garden operation
that is most likely to be neglect
ed, poorly done or overdone.
Many gardners still think that
they are not doing a good job
Unless they do heavy cutting or,
sometimes- de-homin'g. Such
treatment results in destroying
the character of the plant and it
may requiretwoor three years to
overcome such severe pruning.
In the meantime, the plants look
ugly and their growth processes
are slowed down due to the
heavy reduction of leaf area
Frequently, the wrong plant is
selected for a particular location
when preparing the landscape
plan for your home, and then
an effort is made to keep the
plant in bounds by pruning. It
is much the better plan to select
the right plant for the right lo
cation in the beginnning, and
thus your pruning problems are
reduced to a minimum.
If you have plants which need
pruning, now is a good time to
get the job done. I like what I
choose to call deep pruning. This
type of priming is employed to
correct growth in such broad
leaved evergreen plants as Bur
ford’s Chinese holly, ligustrum
sasanqua camellia, photinia and
other similar types. Tfc> me, it is
a sensible treatment because if
you had not seen the plant be
fore pruning you probably could
ndt recognize that it had been
pruned at all.
As an example we might con
sider two Burfordi plants grow
jrtg in good locations. They are
about six feet tall and have a
spread of about eight feet. They
need some corrective pruning but
no severe treatment.
Remember that yoti are going
deep by removing whole branch
es from the inside and some shor
ter . laterals from the periphery
or outside. This will require care
ful study before you do any pru
ning because you want to accom
plish two things: maintain the
general shape and character of
the plant: and select only those
branches which will not remove
too much foliage in any one area
of the plant The idea is to open
up the. plant uniformly rather
than leaving gaping holes here i
and there. This iwill admit light
penetration and promote the
growth of foliage on the inner
portions. ■ I
Now is a good time, also, to s
check your shade trees. There
are always some smaM limbs
which have died due to shading.
Ttthse are rather easily removed
arid- in many cases, you can re
move them yourself with a pru
ning safe, if the trees 4re not
too tall. Removal now will pre
vent wind breakage dhrlng sum
mer storms and cluttering your
lawn grasses.
If yod have large limbs to be

Frozen Foods
Are Plentiful
In Market Today
RALEIGH — The consumer's j
vote of approval for built-in maid j
service foods is shown by the
stock of convenience foods in to
day’s markets, says Mrs. Ruby
Uzzle, extension consumer mar
keting economist, North Caro
lina State University.
A typical market dispalys more
than SO feet of frozen foods, 100
different mixes for cakes and
other baked foods, at least 30
different kinds of baby foods
and many easy-to-prepare dish
es.
More than 2,000 new food i
terns have appeared during the
last 10 years. Among them are
hundreds of partially prepared I
and ready-to-serve foods' Mrs.
Uzzle points out.
Among convenience foods are
cut-up poultry, precooked meals,
prepackaged vegetables, foods
packed in many different size
packages and fresh fruits and
j vegetables the year round
i When a Tar Heel homemaker
; buys convenience foods, she
she should consider the cost of
: convenience and her demand for
i service, quality' nutritive value,
i packaging, time and storage. Us
ually, the more servive added to
a product, the more it’s likely
to cost.
Some of the more expensive
convenience foods include those
that are completely prepared or
those that are put up in small
packages, such as frozen potato
soup- or variety packages of ce
lieutenant in 1931 held positions
as a provost marshal in the U. S.
and in Japan.
Returning to Army reserve
status in 1953, Colonel Cox was
accepted for flight training, and
before being recalled in 1956 he
completed helicopter flight school.
Colonel Cox went to Germany
in 1960 and became commander
of the 524th Transportation Com
pany before going to Corpus
Christi, Texas in 1962 as com
manding officer of an aviation
maintenance unit
In 1964 he went overseas to
Korea to command the 19th
Transportation Company (medi
um helicopters) where he won
i the Republic of Korea’s Presi
dential Citaion. His New Cum
berland assignment as executive
officer for the Directorate of
Maintenance followed a year’s
tour in Korea.
Colonel Cox’s parents, Mr. and

Katherine St., Kings Mountain.
real, Mrs. Uzzle explains.
Built-in maid service reduces
cost of canned fruits and vege
tables, frozen fruits and vege
tables and frozen concentrated
orange juice. Although trimming
and slicing are included, savings
in transporting less bulk help
pay for the cost of added ser
vice.
