Show TOP ENTERTAINMENT RELEKAHS SEAT NEW OFFICERS TALENT PICKED FOR DIMES' TELECAST lppjpl A gagman, psychologist, and Shirley MacLaine's boyfriend have been signed as headliners for the 1965 March of Dimes Telerama, scheduled on KSL-TChannel 5, starting at 10:30 p. m. Saturday, Jan. 16. This seemingly mismatched trio of talent were all eager to star in the 1965 plus marathon to bene- fit the March of Dimes in its fight against crippling birth defects. J 18-ho- IA ssb isr The gagman is Morey Amsterdam, "Buddy" on the Dick Van Dyke Show; the psychologist, Dr. Joyce Brothers, good looking, brainy and appealing star of her own TV feature or) Channel 5's "Midday"; and Shirley MacLaine's boyfriend, Bruce Yarnell, who won the hearts of more than a million viewers of the '64 Telerama on Channel 5, returns for his second stint. Top stage, movie and television actor and singer, Yarnell was elated on hearing he would return to Utah for another Telerama. .fl than "I never felt better working with the fine talent you had on that last show," he said.

You may be sure Joyce Brothers, a five foot, gentle-face- d blonde, will not be outdone by this master buffoon or a 6 ft 5 inch hunk of virility, who feels at home in almost every facet of show business. Literally hundreds of high calibre, talented musicians and variety performers from all over Utah will work with this top entertainment world trio, contributing their talents to help raise much needed funds for continued support of March of Dimes programs, which include the Birth Defects Special Treatment Center in Primary Children's Hospital.

Why does something go wrong when these tiny embryos are being formed? Can more of these children be helped with present medical knowledge? What more must we know to prevent this from happening to babies not yet born? I'd like to describe six of these important projects, which differ vastly from eacli other, but they have this in common: All are part of a nationwide search which has as its ultimate aim the prevention of birth defects in human beings. At present, these scientists might be working with test tubes or with animals, but each bit of knowledge sheds light on the problem of birth defects in humans. At the University of California in San Francisco, Dr. C. Willet Asling and his colleagues arc studying birth defects caused by temporary deficiencies of vitamins and minerals at crucial stages during pregnancy. They are experimenting with rats, trying to learn why certain embryonic tissues arc affected by dietary lack. This work may throw light on the mechanism of some birth defects in man.

There are special kinds of cells for bone, for example, and for the retina of the eye, and for the lungs and skin.n Usually, this process of works well and a healthy baby results, but sometimes, something goes wrong and the infant has one or more birth defects. If scientists knew more about the normal growth from single cell to baby, they would be closer to understanding how this process can break down, and perhaps be closer to preventing birth defects. At Yale University in New Haven, Conn., Dr. Dorothy M. Horstmann is studying the spread of the rubella virus, seeking means of detecting its presence in the body, and, in general, laying the groundwork for the development of a vaccine against this virus. Rubella German measles is usually only a minor annoyance to children, but it is a potential tragedy to women during the first three months of pregnancy. Research shows that if a woman gets this disease early in pregnancy, her baby has a chance of being born with one or more serious birth defects.

These studies are important because it is known that lack of oxygen can lead to some types of deformities in birth as readily as can certain chemicals or radiation. Dr. Grabowski's studies with chick embryos will add to the knowledge cf how certain agi-ntproduce specific birth defects. At Columbia University in New York City, the work of Dr. Melvin T. Grumbach and his associates revolves around these questions: Do people born with abnormal sexual charac s teristics have an abnormal chromosome pattern? Could these physical abnormalities be related to the specific chromosome defects? At Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., a team headed by Dr. Robert W. Noycs is studying the way a sperm cell penetrates an egg cell at the moment of conception in rabbits. They especially want to know whether abnormalities in that first penetration could be the cause of birth defects which (how up at birth or even in later vrm. E Not a nice thing to think about but you could be doing just that if you don't have a regular savings program. Paychecks have a way of disappearing into thin air. And your best intentions to save often get postponed until the "next time around." But there is an easy and sure way to save callc.l the Payroll Savings Plan. And it works automatically. You just ask your employer to set aside a small amount from your check ch payday to bo put toward the pur-- i i ;iaso of a U. S. Savings Bond. For example, just $4,33 a week adds up to the $18.75 you need to buy a ?25 Bond every month. More than likely you'll forget you even set it aside (a pretty painless way to feather your nest). This way, those few dollars you never see now will be keeping Junior in tuition and textbooks later. What's more, they'll be working for Uncle Sam to keep the world strong and free for his generation. So why don't you point your willJoin power in the right direction the Payroll Savings Plan, and see how you, too, can be a reformed fritterer. Keep freedom in your future with U. S.
