The unborn baby has such "a i over for herself. seeming avidity for vitamin B12 that by the time he is born i he has much more of it than his mother has yet the mother j seems to have quite enough left j This clearly indicates that vi tamin B12 plays a stellar role in the marvelous biological com plex of mother unborn child, but what role. That is the new. BUDGET WATER COMMISSION WATER FUND July 1. 1957 to June 30. 1958 r:ce;pts- tstima'ed Cah rn Hand June 30. 1957 Estimated Water Revenues ..

Now comes the yet-to-be-nail-: ed-down indication of B12's high ! involvement in reproduction. This indication began with tests of 528 healthy adults to get an idea of how much B12 normally is in circulation in the blood. Scientists Make Study From these figures, four scien tists got a line on how much women have when they are be tween 15 and 50 years old and are not pregnant. This was the base for "paired'' mother-infant studies in two hospitals, one in Norristown, Pa., the other in Houston, Tex. At the time of deliveries, blood samples were taken from the mothers and also from their babies by way of the um bilical cord. Consistently in both places, baby B12 was higher than maternal B12, in some cases 100 per cent higher. In a few it was five and six times higher. The scientists were Drs. Wil liam P. Bogcr, Gilbert M. Bayne, and George D. Beck of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and Prof. Lemuel D. Wright of Cor nell university. Their report was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. In previous studies of B12 con tent of adult blood serum, they had established a maximum quantity and found that any thing above that amount was un usual. Yet 28 of 96 infants had at the time of their birth B12 levels higher than that ''critical value." "Some of the values noted were of the same order of mag nitude as those 'eliminated' from our analyses of "normal" adult subjects because of inability to explain such values," they re ported. "It was in these very' cases that the differential between mother and infant serum con centrations of vitamin was most marked. It almost seems that the infant had an avidity for vita min B12 but not to the obvious detriment of the mother." "The uniformity of these ob servations in favor of the infant, 89 of 96 pairs (92 per cent) begs explanation," they said, adding that they had further studies in progress. They analyzed blood samples from Texas as well as from Pennsylvania to be sure tha't what they found in one place, also obtained in a far dis tant place. A geographical difference did appear Texas mothers and ba bies generally had higher B12 levels than Pennsylvania moth ers and babies. So did a sam pling of non-pregnant Texas women. This, too, is unexplained. Animal Teaser Given Sentence in 'Cage' Syracuse, N. Y. ffl A teen ager arrested for annoying ani mals at the local zoo was given a chance to see how it feels in a "cage."

Larger Paymenls Are Available for Losses Salem Former armed forces personnel who received govern ment reimbursement for loss of personal property in connection with their military service, may in certain instances now receive a larger payment provided they apply by July 7, the Oregon de partment of veterans' affairs has reported. The state-veterans' department said the military personnel claims act of 1945, which origi nally limited payment to S2.500 for loss, destruction or damage to servicemen's personal proper ty, has been amended to raise the limit of such claims to S6.500. This means that any person who filed a claim under the orig inal act and whose reimburse ment was limited to 52,500 by reason of that act, may now file an additional claim for the dif ference, up to $6,500. The deadline for filing under the amendment is July 7. Appli cation is filed by writing a letter to the military department con cerned. In the eVent the serviceman has died, his survivor may ap ply. Survivors entitled, in order, are the spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters.

I am 17 and I I'm having a lot of trouble with i my mother. She is a terrible snob. When I bring home a girl friend, Mother looks her up and down as if the girl was in a shop window. Later she asks me all about the girl's family, what her father does for a liv ing, what kind of home they have, etc. Most of the time Mother de cides the girls I go out with 'aren't good enough." These girls I go to school with. Plenty of fellows would be glad to go out with them. Mother thinks I'm such a prize that I should go out with only "the best." She doesn't realize that there are lots of girls who don't agree with her. Some of them won't go on a date with me, no matter how hard I try. Just the same, I think the ones I have gone out with are pretty neat. I have no com plaints. Mrs. H. V. Stewart seems to be going out of his way to spite me in the matter of girls. I am not such; a terrible snob as he thinks.

Others are very poor. I have all the sympathy in the world for them, but these girls are not very at tractive in their manner & dress. Stewart just doesn't seem to see the difference between these and the nicer girls that I point out to him. Through my friends, I have arranged wonderful dates for Stewart. I also give him plenty of money for these dates. Half . the time he tries to get out of it. and the other half he comes home saying, "terrible." m The Council: If Stewart is going out of his way to spite his mother in the matter of girls, she can outwit hirr by not telling her opinions at all. Once Stewart is a free agent in the matter, and is not forced into spiteful behavior by a fool ishly domineering mother, there is a 50-50 chance he'll find girls that meet some of Mrs. H. V.'s requirements. Left to his instincts. Stewart is very likely to develop high er and better standards than hii mother's. He'll probably look: for girls with some physical at tractiveness, health and plea sant personality. These qualities will stand up much better under the stress of life than attractive manner or dress. Mrs. H. V. should not lean son far backward to be nice to peo ple. It is hard to see them from that position. Sympathy tends to blur the vision too. An un emotional, straightforward look (not up and down and no tears, please) will result in a clearer view of Stewart's friends. Bribing Stewart to go out on "wonderful dates" is bad taste, bad morality and won't work. Simple introductions to the chil dren of friends is another story. But Stewart will have to carry the ball from there. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)

He is Igor Stravink sky. The fore- Aline rfosfiy most living creator of modern music is the elder statesman of many great names of art, literature and mu sic who have formed a colony in the land of the motion pic ture. Authors Gerald Heard, Christopher Isherwood, Aldous Huxley and John Van Druten, composer George Antheil, violin ist Joseph Szigeti and cellist Igor Piatagorsky also make their homes in Southern California. Few film celebrities . realize Stravinsky lives but a stone's throw from their habitats. He and his wife, Vera, dwell in a modest home in the hills above the Sunset "Strip" a nightclub and restaurant row where sport cars roar and actors engage in late-hour fisticuffs. Stravinsky, a small, delicate man, travels six months of the year to conduct his works, frow his rarely heard '"First Sympho ny"' -to his famous "F i r ebird Suite," in European cities. Last Monday Los Angeles was honor ed with hosting the world pre miere pf his ballet "Agron" and the American premiere of his "Canticum Sacrum" at a mem orial concert at UCLA. President Eisenhower sent telegram congratulating the com-o poser on his 75th birthday Tues day. Artist's Plans Revealed While other men think of re tiring at 75, Stravinsky already is planning to conduct in Japan. The composer still works as much as 15 hours a day in his dark, crowded study. Stravinsky does not write music for movies but other ser ious creators work for the film indutry. Isherwood wrote "Diane" at MGM. Antheil has written music for many movies, including "The Pride and the Passion." All of these notable men live quietly, perhaps one reason why they are virtually unnoticed in the whirl of show business.
