Their request was granted them, for it gave both sides good content. The old settlers did not want to share their growing corn for fear that the newcomers might eat too much of it. They preferred to get along as best they could and not to share the food that the newcomers had brought, preferring to endure any hardship until their own corn was ripe The newcomers likewise preferred to keep their own rather than share it with the older settlers for fear there would not be enough for all.

CHILD CARE CENTERS: We oppose the establishment federal of state, county, or city funded and supervised childcare centers.

Dr. Lee revealed that forty-fiv- e of the 607 midtrimester abortions done at Mount Sinai Hospital between April 1974 and October 1976 resulted in live births, including one set of twins. The infants showing signs of life were registered as live births, according to Dr. Lee, and taken to the neonatal nursery for active resuscitation. Physicians there decided how long to continue resuscitation according to the in- ABORTIONS INFANTICIDE: We support the Right to Life Amendment.

The Mount Sinai Hospitals survey also revealed that several other complications arose in the use of the drug in addition to the live births. In 118 (19.4) of the women, there was excessive blood loss of more than SOOcc and 2S3 (41.7) had incomplete abortions. THE MOUNTING SCANDAL While doctors in Mount Sinai Hospital made attempts to save the lives of these aborted babies, the increased number of abortions resulting in live births in other medical clinics raises questions of what it being done to protect their lives. More and more nurses involved in the abortion say privately that the aborted live babies are being left to die with no attempt to sustain life. There are now so many of these reports that a full congressional investigation is needed to determine the number and what procedures should be taken to protect the lives of these aborted babies. Another fallout effect from, the increased number of abortions that should be thoroughly investigated is the growing number of deaths of women following legalized abortions. It is unfortunate but its happening every day in Chicago and you're just not hearing about it", states Michael Grobsmith. chief of the Illinois Department of Public Health's department of Hospital and Ginics. Grobsmiths comments came in the case of Barbaralee Davis, who died at her home several hours after undergoing an abortion at a licensed clinic in Granite City, 111. Government health officials privately admit that the number of similar deaths arc on the rise throughout the nation any It is developments like these that caused Dr. Joseph Stanton, President of The Value of Life Committee, Brighton.

It can even destroy a nation. useful truth is equally of injurious falsehood. -- A ugustine thorough-goin- g provisions. Answering this suggestion, Washington, president of the convention, arose and solemnly declared: If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterward defend our work?

A gal er We oppose the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution of the United States as being the instrument that will demolish the rights of the individual, destroy the authority of the states as well as devastate the precious relationships within the family. We strongly urge the Congress of the United States to appropriate no new funds for International Womens Year and propose that all proponents or opponents of the ' ERA from this time forth finance their causes with whatever private funding they may obtain. We oppose the use of our public funds to promote or oppose any private lob- by. We recognize that any government which is powerful enough to give its people everything they want is powerful enough to take away everything that they have. Paul Scott Washington: The deadlock in Congress over the governments role in financing abortions is only the tip of the iceberg of the deepening crisis being created in the nation by the massive killing of the unborn. Another pressing but little mentioned life and death issue is the dilemma being created in the medical profession by the innumber of second-trimestcreasing abortions that result in live births. As if to show the world that they are flesh and blood like all of us and would like a chance at life here on earth, thousands of aborted babies each year are literally fighting for a few hours of life outside the womb. While most physicians are understandably reluctant to reveal the number of those aborted alive". Dr. Wing K. Lee, Director of fetal medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in H artford.
