five years old, and Julie Ann,
two, who followed Laura after
Don and I had reflected deeply
and sought advice, could not
be healthier or more normally
But by no means have Don
and I forgotten our hopeless
ness and indeed our self-loath-
ing during those 40 days and
nights when we took turns
holding Laura in our arms, or
sat hour after hour beside her
bassinet, watching life drain
from her eyes.
We detested ourselves be-
cause of torrents that some
thing was wrong with Us
physically, or that a shameful
defect had been inherited from
our forebears (later proved
untrue), and that we were
thus responsible for this cruelty
to an innocent baby.
Never will we forget the
frantic drive, while our baby
was dying, to our church so
that she might be baptized be-
fore she left us. In some way
Kodiak mirror. [volume] (Kodiak, Alaska) 1940-1976, 1960-11-12
BY MARY STROUS

Our baby Laura was born on
Mothers Day seven years ago.
We lost Laura seven weeks
later on Fathers Day.
She gave a soft little sigh as
she died in my arms. My hus-
band and I buried her with the
rattle to which she had chung
tightly during her brief life.
But Laura, who died of the
terrible birth defects known as
open spine and too much fluid
on the brain, still lives in the
hearts of her father Don and
myself. When asked by stran-
gers, we always say we have
three daughters (instead of
really only two), and l want
to explain why.
We feel that each of us, in
Guiding our tiny Laura, is
brought into the world to serve
a purpose, even if our stay on
earth is as tragically short as
40 days.
For years we were numbed
by our baby's passing. But to-
day we recognize that in being
asked by The National Foun-
dation to renew our memories
of those despairing seven
weeks, my husband and are
somehow fulfilling the purpose
of Laura's fleeing visit with us.
That purpose is to repeat as
forcefully as we can the les
sons we have learned:
/. Scientists insist that par
ents should not be ashamed
over the birth of an infant with
a eongenital malformation; in
stead, face the situation bravely
and seek professional advice.
Feelings of guilt aren't justi-
fed.
2. There is no medical evil
dence that birth defects are
allDays hereditary; and
3. There is no evidence that
because a couple have had one
defective baby, they are likely
to have another. Doctors at
Columbus, Ohio, near our farm
at Laurelville, said our chances
of having another uniformed
baby were something like one
in 10000. donna Marguerite,

our congregation had learned
of the reason for our headlong
visit, and the tears of those
sorrowing folks flowed with
ours.
Our Laura was one of $50, 900
babies born each year in our
country with significant birth
defects; that tragic total is
growing with our increasing
population. Our baby was one
of $4,000 who in addition die
annually from These congeni-
tai malformations; and that
awful figure is also mounting.
At last, something construc-
tive is being done about birth
defects. With March of Dimes
contributions, The National
Foundation is directing a broad
study of this devastating puZ-
zle, just as it fought polio and
in time found the Salk vaccine
to prevent it.
With a donation in January
from each of us, in time there
will be many fewer Lauras in
our land.

Review of The Play

Bundle verb intransitive to
occupy the same bed without ua-
dressing said of a man and wom-
IN especially during courtship.
Webster's New Collegiate dict
ionary bundling present par
ticiple
In his forword to the reading
version of the play, Lawrence
Langner, the author, states: This
play, in its earliest inception, was
written as a social satire an at
tempt to show something of the
problems which any young man
or young woman coming from Eu-
rope to this country might en-
counter, whether in 1776 or in 1894
The subject Of bundling has con
siderable interest to persons liv-
ing in this area since according
to rumor and legend it is still
practiccd in some form or another
by certain peoples in nearby Penn
sylvania. Little booklets pertaining
to the practice may still be pur-
chased in York and Lancaster
