Diet May Be Cause of Birth Abnormalities Washington Malformation and sickness of babies, often blamed on defective genes, may also be due to poor nu trition of the mother; accord ing to the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable association. Even mental ability may be affected, as studies have shown that deficiency of folic acid in the diet of pregnant rats could disturb the ability of the offspring to learn their way through a standard maze. Absence of vitamin A in the diet of mother pigs caused blindness In the yftung ones. In the case of humans, it has been shown that incidence of abnormalities in births among women on poor diets could be reduced by dietary improve ment. Balanced diets of high qual ity foods are recommended rather than chemical suppli ments, according to the association. Wo Give di&l GREEN STAMPS ELLIS MARKET S20 Crater Lake Avenue 1rf OTtafnlv hp pomnlieated if anv one nerson believed in all the superstitions which persist in America, in spite of this being a civilized, educated nation. Forced to do a little research in connection with today's picture page, Potpourri discovered scores of superstitions of which we had never heard. Awwrlinir in th World Book, the root meaning of "super stition" is "that which stands above, or survives." This book also says that most superstitions grew out oi xne xacx mat in the early days of man, he was unable to understand much what nnnt nn in the world, and was frightened and v ....... ' - troubled Jy events. He believed they were caused by good or evil forces, which could be controlled if he had the power to do so. - .... Science nas aispeuea mucn oi mis iear, oui m yiwsv science and knowledge, many superstitious customs persist. Those listed in the book take up three or four pages. Since use of the ngnt siae is naxurai xo most persons, th.r nr th idea that anvthinz "left" was unnatural. The literal meaning of the word "sinister" is left. The sun, moon and stars were thought to influence human life and from this grew the pseudo-science of astrology. The belief that some person nave evu eyes uu in sists in some' parts of the world, and others use charms tn Wrivo avaav evil snirts. One of these is the horseshoe, which is said to bring good luck if hung over the door. Belief in the mystic power of the number tnree is raougm to stem from the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. ' " Sneezing is so tied up with Superstition that even today many person greet a sneeze with a good luck word. These include the German "gesundheit" which means good health, the Italian "felicita" which means blessing or good luck, and the "God bless you" of English speaking people. This practice grew out of the fact that early day people believed a spirit left the body when one sneezed. Why do intelligent, enlightened persons cling to super stitions, like the belief that Friday, the 13th is an unlucky day, and that the number 13 itself is bad luck? No one seems to be sure, but true it is. Mrs. Lenore Zapell, who is directing the coming Medford High school play which will be performed on Friday, November 13, doesn't dread this superstition, but won't permit whistling in the dressing rooms on opening, night. Mro VomMtnn uAikk riamfhter Nancv Dosed for one X,xw wv.., CJ " of today's pictures on superstition, added a new one to I . . 1 j i xi Potpourri's collection. If a snovei is carrea tnrougn uie house, it will bring a death in the family. A new book soon to be on the market has superstition as it topic. Called "A Brief Dictionary of American Super stitions" the book was compiled by Vergilius Ferm and is being published by Philosophical Libraryi Inc. Publication date is December 1. ; Because of the current television program investigations, many Americans have become more interested in the British system. William H. Stringer, chief of the Christian Science Monitor's Washington Bureau,' pointed out in a recent issue that Congress could set up a network like BBC. This would require "a board of governors to run a new, high-quality American network, the way a board' of regents runs a state university. Advertising blurbs would be excluded altogether, ...:iu u mi Klin -rtovincr tn-r ifc nrncrrams bv means of annual wiux uic mj v l o 1 lax or license on television' sets." 1 '.' - - There is another type of TV network in Great Britain, too, known s the Independent Television Authority. Of this Mr. Stringer wrote: The 4TA's programs are paid for Tt is a verv profitable enterprise, managed by a board of directors established by Parliament. But it is distinctly different from the American neiworns m tnis vital point: there are no sponsors! '".' . "An advertiser can purchase only a slice of time, an in terval between programs or at natural breaks in a program. (No advertising interruption at the most exciting moment.) The advertising 'slots run six minutes . an hour, with oc casionally an eight-minute interval. Advertisers can buy at peak listening periods, and pay more, or at other listening periods, and pay less. But they havehvt the slightest "say" about the content of any program." This arrangement is more like that of American news papers and magazines. Advertisers buy space, but have no "say" about the contents of the rest of the publication. O.S.

Walters, AAUW mass media chairman. Now in its fifth year, the story hour is designed to fill the need for quality stories for children. This program is presented by AAUW with the cooperation of KYJC. Select ed members read on a rotating basis, each choosing her own material. This provides a wide variety of stories for different ages and interests. Although it is primarily a public service project, the pro gram is sometimes sponsored by interested merchants. When it is sponsored, the money received is used for the AAUW fellowship pro gram. Each recent year the Medford branch has given at least one $500 grant. These are given to women students from this country or abroad who are working for advanced university degrees. Since it is difficult to learn whether there is a large lis tening audience, Mrs. Walters requests that cards be sent to KYJC with comments on the program or suggestions for stories to be read. - ; ., r-r .
