April Is (AP) -. Life is a
torture, a misery to me with
out my husband" wrote Mary
Todd Lincoln after the death
Of her husband.
Living in a boarding house,
Is most revolving to my sons
and myself. and certainly the
thought that his family would
have had to come to this
would have been a most aggra-
yating sorrow to one so de-
voted to his family, as my
husband was-and still is, in
his heavenly home"
Thus wrote the widow of
Abraham Lincoln. a woman
who pleaded for financial as
Sistance after she determined
she did not have enough money
to buy a home for herself and
her sons.

A member of Maryland's
Board of Natural Resources
yesterday asked Congress to
explore the possibility of at
tracing volunteer conServa-
tionistS to help preserve and
develop natural resources.
David Hume Of Charles
County, previously had made
a similar suggestion to his own
State board. AS a member Of
President Kennedy'S Advisory
Committee on Natural Re
sources, Mr.. Hume told a sub
committee Of the Senate Com
mittee on Interior and Insular
Affairs
There is no field Of natural
resources which cannot be the
subject of a great benefit sim
ply by bridging the chasm be-
tween the public and govern
ment and bringing the general
public into this field to help"
He contended government
cannot do the job alone and
called for a program to encour-
age public participation.

HEART MURMURS OFTEN


 NORMAL
 By Madison S. Spach, M. D.
 Department of Pediatrics
 Duke University
 School of Medicine
 Heart murmurs are extremely common in perfectly normal chil- dren. At least three out of ten nor mai children have a heart murmur at some time during childhood. These completely. innocent heart murmurs occurring in normal chil- dren are referred to as functional murmurs."
 By definition a heart murmur means that the doctor can hear noises other than the usual heart sounds when he listens to the child's chest. It is by listening with a stethescope and by few simple tests that the physician can usually tell the difference between inno- cent murmurs and those that result from actual abnormalities.
 There are generally two groups of heart disease in children. The most common type, congenital heart disease, is the result of faulty development of the heart before birth. The next most common heart affliction in children is rheumatic heart disease.
 Although many forms of congeni- tai heart disease and rheumatic heart conditions can be quite ser ious, there may be children with either type of heart condition of mild nature which allows the child to lead a normal life.
 In congenital or inborn heart disease, if the condition is severe enough to cause ill health, usually surgery can be performed to re- turn the heart to normal. Such op-

nal. These children require perio- die medical check-ups but may never require correction of their defect as long as the heart func- tion stays normal.
 When a child has rheumatic fever, the main danger is that the heart may be involved with result ant damage to the valves of the heart as well as to the heart muscle itself. Many children will recover from an attack without the heart being damaged.
 For reasons yet unknown com pletely, the onset of rheumatic fever is related to infections caused by germ called the streptococcus. By treating streptococcal sore throats with penicillin attacks of rheumatic fever can be prevented. Also, once an attack has occurred, the daily administration of small doses of penicillin can prevent further occurrences.

 There are other children who have heart murmurs from mild heart abnormalities, yet the heart function remains completely nor

Authority to organize the MO

agricultural cooperatives the right
to act collectively in marketing
their agricultural products without
violating the antitrust laws.
Each MO member is required

to the idea that the basic farm

This can be remedied either by
legislation or by action of organi-
