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. . ......
More than half of the 1955
Vafoio. will mmnlatA VirrV ,.1iaa1

ably will go to college.
They'll marry at a younger
age than .' did their parents. A
bridegroom's average age has
dropped from 26 at the turn of
the century to 23V&. A bride's
average, has dropped from 22 to
20.

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.

No wife is required to put wo

(Q) "I have been married
27 years, have a son 25 who.
k in the service, and a daugh

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." '

" ' 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.
