By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York 'V Each year approximately 93,000 children are adopted in this county. But another 300.000 need homes. Carl and Helen Doss, parents of a dozen adopted children, call these 300,000 the "lost" be cause they are passed from one unwilling relative to another or placed in private schools, board ed out and forgotten. "We cannot be smug and say that our present-day haphazard methods and laws of child care are adequate so long as they al low such tragedies to beset the lives of our future citizens,"' said the couple. Their estimate of the number of children in need of parents is given in their new book, "If You Adopt A Child."

Book Tells Of Family They told of their own family in an earlier book. The Dosses, who live with their brood in Redlands, Calif., call their new work the only com plete adoption guide yet to ap pear. Certainly the two cover the field from the history of adop tion in this country Massachu setts was the first state to permit legal adoption with a law passed in 1851 to advice on where to turn if you want to adopt "The agency nearest your home." They believe an adopted child should know his heritage "and he should be told as soon as he is old enough to understand." Close friends and relatives also should know. "But otherwise," said the cou ple, "There is no more reason to go around declaring that your child is adopted than there is for you to go around declaring to all and sundry that you are married, a Democrat and member of the Masonic Lodge." Call For Improvement They called for improvement and uniformity of adoption reg ulations in the United States and Canada. "Else," they said, "black markets will continue to flourish. With the lack of national laws, there are no ways to stop inter slate racketeering of babies and no penalties for engaging in it." An adopted child's longing and need for love is greater than that of another child, said lbe Dosses, "because he has been separated from his natural mother, some times again from his boarding mother or mothers." They told of one 7-year-old boy who had been shifted from boarding home to boarding home, waiting for permanent parents, the social worker told him about a Mr. and Mrs. Jones who want ed to adopt him . . . and explain ed to him what the term meant. The next day the worker took the small boy to the Jones home to be introduced. The child gravely shook hands with his new father and then turned to the woman who was to be his new mother. "This is mama Jones," said the worker. "Not mama Jones," said the boy, as he put his arms around her neck, "but mama for always." Trees planted in New York state in 1956 would stretch from New York City to Salt Lake City, Utah, in a band 100 feet wide, the New York Forest In dustries Committee reported. size measurements a year ago The new patterns increased bust measurements one to two inches but they still are generally an inch short of the standard rec ommended by the government. Too Small In a "misses" size 16, for ex ample, the bust size was in creased from 34 to 36 inches in the new patterns. But the government's "commercial stan dard" recommends a 37-inch al lowance for a size 16. In many sizes, federal bosom standards are a good three inch es beyond the point from whicn pattern makers expanded one year ago. "I don't exactly know why," the home economist said. "I guess it's a combination of growth and better uplift brassieres. "Sizing has changed because of the uplift brassiere," she said. The actual measurements on which the government standards are based were made by Agn culture Department research workers in 1939 and 1940 Fed eral statistical experts have as sured any new mass measure ment of the American female figure probably would not show any significant changes in the most popular dress sizes. Major mail order houses ad opted federal bosom measure ments for their garments about four years ago. But they found last year's changes too great to make in a single jump. The Agriculture Department said thee new patterns ; narrow bust measurements. "These changes," it said, "Ap pear to be in line with the in dustry's staled reason for mak ing the change the appear ance of a new figure type result ing from the use of modern foundation garments." A home economist said this of ficial gobbledegook merely means that while uplift bras sieres have been expanding bos om sizes, modern girdles have been bringing hip measurements under better control.
