Health And Safety Tips 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. Antl-RH disease vaccine. A vac cine to prevent the development Telephone Talk By R. B. MOORE Tom Telephone's 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. ' • a a »tt» 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 cian, plus monthly seif-examlha* 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 TAX LISTING THROUGH THURSDAY.

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.
