Siamese Twins Born
To North Dakotan
Fargo, N.D. (U.R) The petite
wife of a car washer gave birth
Thursday night to Siamese twin
girls. Doctors said chances that
they -can be separated are good
The girls are joined at the
lower half of the chest and the
upper half of the abdomen. They
are believed to be the first
Siamese twins ever born in
North Dakota.
The combined weight of the
children at birth was only nine
pounds, eight ounces. Doctors
at St. John's Hospital said the
children and mother were doing
well.
The girls' father, Lawrence
Newbauer, said "It's been a sur
prise and a shock."
"We've been expecting twins
for a week," he said. "I more
or less wanted twin girls, but
as far as Siamese twins, I never
dreamed of anything like that.
"I hope they can be sep
arated."

The Family Council
Editor's Note: The Family Council consists of a judge, a psychiatrist, a
newspaper editor, a women's page editor and two newspaper writers. These
consult with clergymen of all faiths and denominations. All letters are held
in complete confidence.
Lydia He's too choosy about
adoption.
George I refuse to take
potluck.
Lydia: George and I have
been , married five years, but
there are no children and ap
parently no hope of ever hav
ing children. We are both deeply
disappointed and have talked
about adopting children.
Unfortunately, we have de
veloped such sharp differences
of opinion that I'm afraid we will
never succeed in bringing about
an adoption. George has very
definite specifications as to the
kind of child, what it should
look like and what kind of par
ents it should come from.
I feel that attitude makes it
hopeless, in view of the fact that
the childless parents seeking to
adopt babies outnumber the
homeless babies many times
over. My own feeling is that I
want a baby whom I can love
and whose love I can win, and
the origin of the baby can just
as well be a complete mystery.
I have hesitated to tell George
exactly how I feel because I
have already so disappointed him
in not having babies of our own,
and I would like him to have
his way. I am afraid, however,
we will never succeed in adopt
ing a baby if we get too choosy.
George: I'm afraid Lydia is
letting sentiment run away with
her judgment. We chose each
other for certain qualities and
reasons, and we should be able
to choose a baby. If we can't
have our own, we should come
as close as we can by choosing.
I don't believe in taking pot
luck in a matter as important
as this. It may be unfair to the
child, as well as to us.
The Council: Both Lydia
and George are making mis
takes that should be corrected.
Lydia's big mistake is in fail
ing to tell George exactly how
she feels. She is allowing a false
feeling of guilt to distort her
attitude. She is not guilty of
anything. The failure to have
children is just as likely to be
due to the husband as the wife.
Even if it has been definitely
established in this case that the
wife alone is incapable of having
children, this is still not a matter
of guilt. It would become a mat
ter of guilt, however, if Lydia
were not to take her husband
fully into her confidence by tell
ing him just how she feels.
George is mistaken in his at
titude. There is no way of as
suring the physical, let alone
the mental and emotional her
itage of a child. George makes
assumptions about heredity that
have not been proved and that
are, at least to a great extent,
contrary to the weight of scien
tific knowledge.
Lydia has a sounder attitude,
but George's innermost feelings
cannot, however, be disregard
ed. These people must have a
complete understanding on this
subject, and they must discuss
it freely and frankly. Since Lydia
seems to have the greate need,
she surely should not withhold
her true feelings from her hus
band, who no doubt would
modify his own attitude if he
knew what her values were.
This couple needs education
on the subject of adoption, which
actually calls for more under
standing than becoming parents
in the natural way.

Modern farming equipment
ideas date to 2800 B.C., when
the Chinese invented a wheel
barrow type of drill for planting
and seeding, says the B. F.
Goodrich company in its 18th
annual Farm Handbook. The
Italians invented a two-wheel
seeder more than 350 years ago.

Faith...

one can possess ... a source of
love, comfort and strength which
is sorely needed in these troubled
times. Only you and I, as parents
can give this gift of Faith to our

know the joy of Faith tomorrow
... we must give our children the
