" But other experts and parents aren't so sure parental involvement always helps. Says Stanley Salett of the National Citizens Committee on Education, "From our own experience, ex-perience, we know that there are times in the parent-child relationship when a parent wanting to help and a child resisting him can result in poor performance."

' March of Dimes Research shows drinking during pregnancy causes fetal alcohol syndrome The March of Dimes' Southern Utah Division will intensify its efforts to warn expectant mothers about the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy during National Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Awareness Week, May 10-17, 1987. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a combination of physical and mental birth defects that result from drinking during pregnancy. It is estimated that at least 5,000 babies each year suffer the effects of FAS that include growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, malformed organs and mental retardation. As many as 10 times that number may suffer from a milder form of alcohol-related alcohol-related damage known as Fetal AlcoholEffects(FAE). "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is one of the most common causes of birth defects that produce mental retardation," retar-dation," said Dr. Richard Morton, March of Dimes Vice President of Health Services. "But most importantly, impor-tantly, it is one cause that is entirely preventable." Morton said that heavy drinkers (those who consume six average mixed drinks of six cans of beer each day) are at the greatest risx ot bearing a child with FAS, but that nursing licenses. There is no cost to the volunteers. Due to the intensive training the nurses will receive, volunteers are asked to be available for at least a year. The amount of time will vary depending on disaster situations. Individuals interested in becoming becom-ing volunteers for this or other programs pro-grams should contact the Volunteer Center at 374-8108 by May 31, 1987.

"There currently is no way to predict how much alcohol is 'safe'," he said. "We strongly advise women planning a pregnancy to stop consuming con-suming alcohol before attempting to conceive and to abstain throughout pregnancy and nursing." "Women who drink and have unplanned un-planned pregnancies should abstain as soon as they suspect they are pregnant," 'he added. "Heavy drinkers should avoid pregnancy until un-til they are certain they can abstain from alcohol for the nine months from conception to birth." The identification of FAS was first reported at a March of Dimes conference in 1973. Since then, the foundation has funded numerous research projects aimed at investigating in-vestigating the effects of alcohol on pregnancy, and the Foundation has worked to educate the public about the dangers of maternal substance abuse. The most recent step in that effort ef-fort is a national media campaign, "Mommy 4 . . Don't" that was launched laun-ched by the March of Dimes last year. The campaign warns the general public, adults of child- bearing age and expectant mothers about the dangers of drinking, smoking and taking unprescribed drugs during pregnancy, and it encourages en-courages pregnant women to get early and regular prenatal care. The March of Dimes mission is to prevent birth defects and reduce their consequences. The Foundation pursues this goal through programs of research, education, and health services.
