' ..-V" Recommendations of the nomi nating committee will go out to 1955 Baby Crop to be Large; Life Expectancy Br PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent ? Washington (U.R) The baby born in 1955 may look for . ward to lots of company and can expect a ripe old age. Dr. Martha M. Eliot, director of the Children s Bureau, Depart ment of Health, Education, and Welfare, says that if the pres- ; ent trend continues, the 1955 ?baby crop will top the 1954 rec ord high of an estimated 4,100, 000 by about 80,000. She also reports that the 1955 baby s , cnances of growing up are the best ever. Ninety-six per cent will reach 21, and life ex pectancy will be close to 70 : compared with 50 for babies born at the turn of the century. Some Prospects I What about all those years in between? Dr. Eliot never makes " such predictions, ; but statistics show these prospects: f More than 90 per cent will be born in a hospital, r About 51 per cent will be .boys. '" About three of five will be .born in cities or suburbs, v About, two of three will give f their first squawl east of the Mississippi river. ; About 42 per cent will have or acquire two or more brothers andor sisters. " Mothers of one of five will hold an outside job during the baby's lifetime. . ......

To be elected are a president, vice-president, secretary and three junior vice-presidents. The board completed plans for a series of schools of instruc tion for leaders of high school PTAs to be conducted through out the state in 'February. Mrs. J. W. Staggs, Milton-Freewater, vice-president, will take charge of the schools. Schools will be held in seven cities, including one in Medford for the south western' area of the state. The board also made first plans for leadership training classes to be held in July. It was announced that con gress membership now totals 90, 097, some 3,700 more than last year. Twenty -nine new units have ' been organized, and one new district created. The new district, to be known as Mid land, includes units in Wheeler, Sherman and Gilliam counties and Mrs. Jack M. Harris,' Con don, is president. Increasing While everything 1955's baby encounters will be of interest to the Children's Bureau, Dr. Eliot said those tots who arrive pre maturely will get special atten tion. Here's why: ine ; pnenomenai' progress made against infectious diseases in infants has left premature birth as the largest single cause cause of infant mortality. 4 The five top threats to infant life today are premature birth, congenital malformation, res piratory failure, birth injuries, and influenza. In 1916 the five were diarrhea, premature birth, pneumonia and influenza, con genital malformation, and con genital debility. With one out of 14 babies born prematurely and the death rate among them in their first month of life more than 20 times that for normal babies, solutions to present mysteries of crema. ture birth would do much to wards decreasine infant mor tality rates. Dr. Eliot points out that in many cases the reason for pre mature labor is unknown: what is known about preventing it is not always applied; and there is much yet to be learned about treatment.

A woman writes: (Q) "I have been married 27 years, have a son 25 who. k in the service, and a daugh ter of 23. I have worked for 22 of the 27 years and have i taken nothing but abuse and bruialiiy from my husband who drinks. Eight years ago the court recommended A.A. to him.- He went to the meet lags only when he felt like it. According to him, I am sup posed to take it. I would ap preciate your advice about what I should do. I earn a good living and could - support my self if I left him. My son continually after me to get a separation."

Be sure that the matter is handled through the courts so your husband will be legally responsible for your support. H e ha s shown no real desire to re form or to do what a man should do when he is married and Dr. Horlock " ' hi s children. Not only is he shirking his eco nomic responsibility by drinking up the money he earns, but he is also shirking his moral respon sibility to be a decent husband and a father of whom his family can be proud. . Your son and daughter are old enough to realize what hard ships you have had to suffer through the years to keep the home and family together. Now that your children are grown, you. are no longer called upon to endure these things.. .. : Furthermore, it it embarras sing to your children, as it is to you, to have people know that such a man belongs to the fam ily. Your children : would hesi tate to bring their friends home, knowing that their father might make a scene and - embarrass them. -, .; ., - ;" You have no responsibility to give , your husband ' another chance. He has had all the chances a man can reasonably expect, and he has not taken ad vantage of them. Now take ac tion, but, in doing so, see that the court awards, you money for support instead of " allowing it to go into drinks. (Copyright 1955,.: General Features - Corp.) NO DRIVERS LICENSE?; r.
