Ballet and Children's Museum Dinner Are Highlights of Social Scene
By KATY ATKINS ARD MEMBERS of the Children's Museum had a dual purpose dinner at the museum Wednesday as they celebrated the museum's silver anniversary and entertained Dr. Herman Shibler and the school commissioners board. Mrs. Louis Bruck, the commissioners’ representative on the museum board, was hostess at one of the tables. Appropriately, Mrs, Walter Hiser, in charge of decorations, used material from the museum for the tables. Groupings of Spanish and Portugese figures stood on silver plaques in the center of each one. Greenery on either side served as a forest for charming glass animals blown by a staff member. These included giraffes, ostriches, reindeer and dinosaurs. The buffet table was centered with a much larger pair of Estonian figures made in a DP camp. Henry Peirce, new board chairman, and Betty, of course, were among those on hand, as were Mrs, Russell Ryan, Mrs. Eli Lilly, Mrs. Richard Lieber and Bud and Mary Stewart Adams, It was in the old home of Mary Stewart's grandmother, Mrs. John Carey, that the museum came into existence and | was housed for many years.

Pregnancy Normal, Not an lliness
By ANNA ROOSEVELT and DR. LEO DOYLE
OUR reaction to pregnancy will depend on many factors. You can
be certain that the response will differ from’ your sister,
. your friend or that of the
girl next door. ’ No two persons react exactly in the same way, and right from the start don’t judge your emotions in terms of others’, ,, even the author’s. Some girls weep when they find themselves pregnant, and others laugh. Each may do so for different reasons. One
"This article e begins a sixpart series to appear in The Sunday Times’ women's pages. It presents thoughtful, practical advice on the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy—material of value to the prospective father as well as the expectant mother. Condensed from the recent: hook, “Your Pregnancy,” the articles have been written by a famous mother, daughter of the late President, and by a specialist in childbirth. Dr. Doyle is a former professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California.
may cry from Joy or from disappointment. So it is with laughing; it may signify happiness -or anxiety. But either event is a normal reaction to a rather profound change in one's biological status. That is what we wish to emphasize; the reactions we talk about are the ones encountered in the majority of women. To begin with, we have to accept the fact that pregnancy, labor and delivery are normal functions of the human race. They are not illnesses or diseases. Pregnancy is an extremely satisfying experience for most women and many feel happier than at any other time. But just because it is a thrilling experience to the majority doesn't mean that every girl is happy about being pregnant. She may not want to be pregnant at this time. It may also be uncomfortable, annoying or occasionally frightening. All of this may occur in the same individual for reasons that are normal for her. No girl or woman is abnormal because heér pregnancy isn’t like a nine months’ Christmas party, and the doctor or writer who trims up pregnancy like a Christmas tree is not fair to his patient.
Basic Drive PREGNANCY as a personal experience is usually a pleasant episode. The process of reproducing need not be uncomfortable or unpleasant. Pregnancy and delivery are the first of a woman's contri-
‘ butions to her biologic func-
tion. The rearing of the child to“ take its rightful place in society is the second and most important part of her function. Pregnancy can be a most

satisfying and gratifying episode, for by recreation you are able to achieve a most important accomplishment. This feeling of accomplishment is a basic and fundamental drive in all of us, Fear, Anxiety ALL OF pregnancy ig not Joy and happiness, as we have indicated. Every girl who becomes pregnant has some apprehensions. This is justifiable in many instances. Everybody has some fear when faced with the unknown. The woman who becomes pregnant is entering an experience about which she
knows little, especially with her first child.
It is this encounter with the unknown that causes most of the apprehension and anxfety in pregnancy. As we all know, a certain amount of wondering about what is going to happen occurs constantly in ouf everyday life. For instance, a visit to the dentist calls forth a lot of imagining as to whether we will have pain as a result of the visit. And so it is with pregnancy. Heed Doctor MOST OF you have heard a great deal about this business of having a baby. All of your friends and family have told you tales of what one should expect of pregnancy, labor and delivery. Intellectually you may reject some of the stories teld by friends, but the words of your mother and immediate family are a little difficult to ignore. After all, close members of your family have been giving you a great deal of advice for many years, ever since you were born. Then on whom should you count for advice on accepting or rejecting all you are told? This “person” is your doctor. He is the one who has had previous difficulties trying to teach his patients to
be careful about the lay information they receive during their first pregnancy.
Open Mind MOTHER, and even the
prehensions without having any idea they are doing so. It's hard for some to believe but there is a great difference between “experiences” of the layman and actual medical © and psychological knowledge. It is unfortunate that many mothers have had unpleasant pregnancies, labors and unhappy marriages. For them reproduction “is woman's cross to bear.” This attitude is to be deplored in the strongest possible manner. Keep an open mind about all advice—it may be wrong! Don’t let the unhappy experiences of anyone, your mother, your sister or your friends, determine your attitude and reaction to pregnancy, unless

Right Atmosphere YOUR personality, and that of any individual, is largely formed during infancy and childhood. The adult years add little to the character developed during that period.
