March of Dimes Mothers To Deliver Health Leaflet Mothers who will bel marching for the March of Dimes throughout the na tion this January will dis tribute millions of copies of a leaflet entitled "One Min ute Warning," which gives the latest facts about birth defects and arthritis. According to local March of Dimes volunteer leaders, these two disease areas are of con cern to millions of people in this country. About 250,000 of our children are born each year with a serious birth defect. Arthritis and the rheumatic diseases afflict upward of 11, 000,000 Americans. The National Foundation March of Dimes is fighting with the same three-pronged attackwhich helped conquer polio as a pub lic health problem.

Latest addition to this public education program, according to Dr. William S. Clark, direc tor of the medical department of The National Foundation, is the "One Minute Warning" leaflet. "Our purpose is to reassure the public that much is being done in the fight against these two great cripplers," Dr. Clark says. "The American people are financing the fight with their rnntrihutions to the March of Dimes, and they have a right to receive periodic reports of what is being accompnsnea.

Be sure to tell any other doctor you may consult, for treatment of other conditions, that you are pregnant. Take no drugs on your own initiative. Tell your doctor about any you have been tak ing. Especially, stay away from "tranquilizers," "mood adjust ers," and "happy pills." Learn your Rh factor, blood type, and your husband's. In form your obstetrician. Follow the diet your doctor prescribes. Avoid excessive smoking and drinking. If pregnant, don't knowingly expose yourself to infectious diseases particularly German measles. For the person who suffers from arthritis, the leaflet stresses: "Follow ONLY the ad vice of your doctor." Several other points of advice are given, among them, "Remem ber, there are no quick cures, no short cuts. Good results from treatment require time and pa tience."

Postal Savings To Be Terminated At Local Office Designation of Heppner as a postal savings depository will be terminated as of the close of business on January 29, Jim Dris coll, postmaster" announces. All remaining accounts will be transferred to Pendleton. All depositors have previously been notified of the impending action and those who so desired have withdrawn their deposits, he said. Those who wish to con tinue their accounts will be able to do so by mail with the Pen dleton post offcie. Business at the local postal savings depository has dwindled from a peak of S174,i)ui).uu, in the late 1940's to less than $18, 000.00 at the present time and reflects a trend in the savings and investment habits of the general public. The 2 interest rate compounded annually is less than is generally available at other sources which probably accounts for much of the decline, Driscoll said. Since the early 1950's the Post al Department has been divest ing itself of postal savings de positories in those communities where no particular need exists due to adequate commercial sav ings institutions, and particular ly where business has become static and reflects little use of the facility. In 1959 Heppner absorbed the remainder of the Postal Savings business from John Day, which in turn is now being transferred to Pendleton. "I do not believe that this par- ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH Rev.
