REDWOOD is
u. S TREE

When Christ was born in Beth
lehem, the giant redwood tree that
is now the US. National Christmas
Tree had already been growing
for 1000 years.
Located in Kings Canyon Ma
tional Park, Calf, the tree is a
"Sequoia gigantea" - a confer
Gus, evergreen tree - and its age
is estimated, from its annual rings
Of growth, at 1000 years. It's ma
jestic redwood trunk rises 267 #.
The US. Department of the In
terror officially designated this red
wood as the National Christmas
Tree on April %, 1925. Earlier, it
had been named the General
Grant Tree, for the 18th President.
In December, Christmas services
r held annually at the base of
the tree, climaxing a month-long
Christmas Festival celebration by
the citizens Of Sanger and neigh
boring communities of Fresno
County, Calf. Members of the Ma
tional Park Service place a wreath
at the base of the tree.

mentally retarded or malformed.
BY the same token, the tests when adequately
developed would also reassure the vast majority
of young couples of the likelihood of their hav-
ing normal, healthy families.
What if a young couple agrees to undergo
these searching tests, and the results show they
might have babies with %congenital malforma-
tons? Would such a marriage be forbidden2
Tests Are No Bar To Marriage
"By no means" DR.. Cooke said in a recent
interview. "'The tests should be voluntary. An
unfavorable prognosis or prediction should not
provide, in my view, either legal or moral
grounds for advising against marriage.
"The results of biochemical examination of
their blood and cell engines should be made
available to prospective parents and the outlook
for their offspring made quite clear. But ulti-
mate decision as to marriage should be left to
the individuals themselves"
DR.. Cooke added that g~enetic defects in the
husband and wife may also be the cause of
childleSsness.
Pursuing his line of thought further, DR..
Cooke said that our young people should be
given a better understanding of this subject.
Proper instruction would minimize anxiety and
permit them to plan their futures in a mature
manner. The noted pediatrician would like to
see more genetic investigation and counseling
of patients by physicians-he calls it "anticipa-

He Defines Birth Defects
DR.. Cooke says there is a great confusion re-
pardine the term birth defects" Medically,
these are congenital anomalies caused by genetic
factors or by injury to the embryo during Its lie
in the womb. Most of the general public mis-
takenly believes that birth defects are limited
to those apparent at BIRTH, such as missing ex-
tremities, an enlarged head (hydrocephalusl or
open spine (spina bifidal. But many more subtle
birth defects are not disclosed until maturity
and even middle age.
For example, severe high blood pressure ap-
pearing in later life has been shown in many
instances to result from congenital malforma-
tions of the blood vessels of the kidneys, a dis
order present at birth but unacceptable at that
time. Birth defects also account for many cases
of diabetes, theological disorders and govt that
do not become apparent until middle life. The
list could be substantially heightened. DR.. Cooke
pointed out.
The Birth Defects Special Treatment Center at
Johns Hopkins is one of a rapidly growing num-
Der of centers in various parts of the nation
financed by National Foundation chapters using
March of Dimes contributions. They provide
comprehensive medical care for victims, with
emphasis on early diagnosis, prevention of dis
ability, rehabilitation and expansion of knowl-
edge concerning birth defects.
In addition, the voluntary health organization
has established university afiliated birth de-
fects clinical study and research centers in
Columbus, Ohio, Oklahoma City, and Nashville.
Tenn. A similar program of March Of Dimes
supported treatment and research centers in
arthritis is also in effect across the country.
Birth defects cause q 900 deaths each year
in the United States" says DR.. Cooke. That's
twice the toll taken by tuberculosis and ten
times the annual number of deaths from whoop-
ing cough, measles, polio and infectious hepatitis
combined.
"The National Foundation-Marc of Dimes
is taking a historic forward step in searching for
a preventive. Until it is found, one thing we
might do is to determine, before marriage, what
types of family genetic histories are likely to
lead to the calamity of major birth defects. The
means to do it are within our reach"

good thoughts for Fourth of July These stated
boasfully but with humility. He says:
Ours is 4 country
"where farmers ouproduce all other farmers and the
people are better fed for fewer hours of work.
where the benefits for unemployed wage workers are
higher than wages in most Of the world
where GIFTS charity by private persons year after
year the worlds greatest;
where thrcefhs of the people their own homes
where an Is million people stock in the nations
industries
(which after defeating them has aided its enemies to
rebuild themselves;
(Which hes extended 500 billions in aid less fortunate
countries
(which has no wishes for conquest;
whcre with less than six and onehaf percent of the
worlds people G5 percent Of the worlds passenger
automobiles:
where more negroes go to college and more negroes
automobiles than all the people of their elsewhere
earth;
where we have the RIGHT TO CHOOSE work,
homes religion, education, and how spend money;
land which liberty has made rich and productive.
MAY then, thoughtfuly, and sincerely celebrate our

Mr.. and Mrs. White and theiI
four children, aged 9 to IA, be
came aroused just in time to make
their escape. A passing mail man
noticed the smoke coming out OF
the attic and notified the Deer

The fire, apparently caused by
defective wiring, ignited in a
closet just off the living room
The actual fire damage was con
fined to the area around the closet
but intensive heat cracked all the
windows and scorched the walls
