RECREATION Its a pity, said a professional in Spain, that you Americans make so much of going to church on Sunday and then close your churches for the rest of the week. But its a greater pity for your young people that you practice the same philosophy with your recreational activities. You make a big deal of operating them for three months a year, then close them down for nine months.

Although this advice might sound startling at first, there are sound scientific reasons for it. Too often the story of prenatal care has been too little and too late. More than one pregnant woman has gone to the doctors office only to have the nurse ask her, Is the baby kicking yet? No? Well, come back in three or four months. I believe that girls should begin preparing for maternity as early as eight to fifteen years of age. We have grown used' to thinking of prenatal care as protecting the mothers health, and certainly the mortality of mothers has been reduced, but now it is the babys turn. We know that the fetus needs protection, too. The future mother can take a giant step in that direction during her own childhood by forming and following good health habits. There are also medical steps that can be taken to protect the fetus even before conception. I think that within the next ten years it could become a matter of routine for a young woman to undergo a series of tests which may predict the future health of her children as soon as she begins to think seriously of marriage. The blood test for venereal disease that is now required before marriage could be used to make tests for other factors in each partner that might cause birth defects. Rh is one good example. A vaccine is now available to prevent Rh disease in the - incom-patabilit- y newborn. Chromosome examinations could be made in advance to find out if there are any irregularities in the genes of either partner that might damage their offspring. Enzyme tests could check on possible metabolic disorders that could affect the babys body chemistry. Many of these errors can now be treated successfully. Tjssue cultures can tell the carriers of cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that often Dr. Virginia Apgar makes rounds with a fellow physician on the pediatric ward of hospital where a number of children are under treatment for birth defects. kills the infected child early in life. We now have treatment methods that are of great hjlp to victims of this disease. Genetic counseling based on medical tests and analysis of tile medical family tree of each partner might also prevent heartbreak later by indicating the chances a couple face of giving birth to a child with serious defects. The couple can be told the risks and then make up their own minds about what course to take. Where the risks are high, adoption of children is an excellent solution. known to have infectious disease, and not to take any medicine or drugs unless they are prescribed. Unnecessary X-ra- will also be avoided. As the pregnancy progresses, there are many things the physician can do to protect the health of the mother and baby. For example, if the woman has such diseases as diabetes or syphilis, there is treatment available. Before too many years have passed it should actually be possible to operate on the' baby within the womb, if necessary.
