ON of EAST March years is irreparable, doctors at a new arthritis treatment center at Philadelphia Children's Hospital, sponsored by five March of Dimes chapters in the area, check him regularly to ease his pain and avoid further damage. This same "team approach" is also employed by the evergrowing number of National Foundation-Marc- h of Dimes clinics for treatment of birth defects, another area in which the health organization is concentrating. Infants with any of hundreds of major4 birth defects are now examined by as many as 12 specialists at each clinic, working together as a team that might include a pediatrician, neurosurgeon, urologist, orthopedist and internist as well as others. For instance, consider the perils from one birth defect! chapter-sponsore- d i ON WEST COAST, Idtntical twin Cathy and Carol Gilo, 7 yoars, aro g roofed at March of Dimot Congonital Doftcts Clinic in Univortity of Washington Hospital, SoaHla. that surrounded Cathy and Carol Gile, identical twins of Vancouver, Wash. From birth, the children have been seriously ill with a succession of maladies pneumonia (each six times), ear infections (again, each six times) and other disorders which have meant prolonged hospitalization. Both were found to be afflicted with an inherited lack of antibodies, the substances in the blood which combat bacteria. At the University of Washington Hospital, Seattle, where 86 March of Dimes chapters in Washington, Idaho and Alaska have financed a birth defects clinic, the attractive little girls twice monthly are given injections which literally keep them alive. The Seattle "team." at the March of Dimes clinic watches over the twins devotedly. There are tens of thousands of Anthonys and Cathys and Carols in the United States today. One reason The National Foundation-March of Dimes turned to these diseases three years ago is that almost 700 babies are born each day in this country with significant birth defects, accounting for more than 21,-0deaths each year. Crippling rheumatoid arthritis affects 30,-0children and adolescents apart from the overall toll of 11 million American victims of rheumatic diseases. An increasing number of sufferers from these two cruel handicaps are receiving treatment from the specialist "teams" at March of Dimes-financchapter clinics. As more funds become available, additional centers will be es- -. tablished to provide medical care for even more victims of chronic crippling disease. . 00 ed ev aporation suppression is that the increase in water supply can be handled 'by existing storage and distribution facilities.

The book is fairly easy reading, but prophetically as tough as Jeremiah. 1 1 i s Dr. Melchoir Falyr "An (Inflation Primer" (Chicago: Henry iRegnery Company, $4).

Its arguments are both cogent and pointed. Perhaps more important: They are urgent. consultant. During this time he has turned his keen, incisive in tellect upon American facts and statistics. His diagnoses and pre dictions have been amazingly accurate. More than ,10 years ago for example, Dr. Palyi was talking about a possible "dollar cri-s- is that recently became so critical. It is made clear in this little book that we have reached the end of an era. It will not be rtir.Vl possible much longer to continue "rolling over" the national debt, printing more cheap money, and indulging in deficit spending. Yet, powerful politicians and pressure groups do not and will not recognize that this is the case. They seem determined to continue spending and borrowing, heedless of warnings of the coming chaos. "UEGAUHZED ROBBERY" These spenders also seem determined to continue spending and borrowing regardless of moral and ethical responsibility, which ought to be implicit in government, for maintenance of the stability of our economy and the value of the dollar.

POLICIES liAOK MORALITY Congress has continued to allow the misuse of the Federal Reserve System for monetizatlon of the national debt. As Dr. Palyi so unerringly shows, this is the crux of the problem. Over and over the Congress votes to spend without having the revenues to cover the spending. This action, itself lacking in moral basis, serves another wretched cause, that of inflating our currency. The government keeps "rolling the debt over," borrowing more and more and swelling the currency, so that price levels are forced up and up. . Apparently Dr. is con- Palyi vinced that we have already reached the point where it is most unsafe to keep refinancing more the debt and printing money. If the politicians are going to keep on spending at a rate so fierce that balanced budgets are unattainable, then we can be sure the "adjustmente" will come. They may be drastic in nature. ILet us hope we come to our senses, taking what steps are necessary to achieve fiscal sanity. The only possible remedy if we can do it soon enough is to balance the budget and the national stop monetizing debt . A NEWSPAPK WAS A RARITY Slflllc jii ' IN MANY AMERICAN COMMUNITIES! Then a newspaper was a thing to be marveled at for memories of the Press' fight for freedom were fresh in mind. Although newspapers are common in our country today, their existence should not be taken for granted. It is a wonderful fact that almost all of our modern communities have their own hometown newspapers, freely edited by membert of their own communities spreading the news, stimulating the business of the community, and keeping their readers informed of important events elsewhere. It is well to keep in mind that a free press and a free people are an unbeatable team. to your boclnoco as your tolophono Ao clooo tVlw device MMt cm hck ye MMtyr ffic aHtt your bwaiiMM tolaphon con will , . . right iff CALL: HEIFER JOURNAL OFFICE SUPPLY "OUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER IS A YOW IOCM emssNTATrvi HERITAGE TO PROTECT! aa 14 VMT IAIT 4 IAII CUT, C ' " " rc |
