Openings in the skull through

Enlargement of the head water

elevated by a fat pad or covered

When the blind type Of spina
bifida causes symptoms, these
symptoms usually develop at pub

growth of the bone than Of the
spinal cord. This may result in

ANSWER: For some people yes.
An individual may become as DE-
pendent on phenobarbital as others
do on alchol or opium.

900. The record to date reveals cause for both encouragement and concern. There have been indiVidu- als. parishes. and dioceses which have responded with sacrihcial loy- alty. Others have not as yet given full support to this appeal.
 Every diocese and parish-espe- cialiy those which have not as yet met their share of our total goal = can use the coming weeks and months to enlist every individual member of the Church in this cause which demands a worthy response from all. Every diocese should con- tinue its effort until it can honestly feel that 1t is carrying its share of the total load.
 The suffering and starving people of the world call to us. The wal shattered churches, hospitals, and schools in the Philippines and China call to us. Those who depend upon the Church to build the foun- dations upon which lasting peace can alone be built call to us. The unprecedented opportunities to ad- vance the cause of Christ in the world call to us. We need all the @, ,SOO, 900, and more, to answer these calls. Far more than money we need an awakened Church membership which will, with Q keer sense of responsibility, go forth tC meet the crisis of our day with g determination to make Christ known among the peoples of all na- tionS.
 It is late, but not too late, to wir a great victory.
 Sincerely yours, l HENRY w. ROBSON, l Bishop of Southern Ohio
