Mother gives birth to sextuplets

BIRMINGHAM, England (UPI)— A Birmingham housewife who wanted children so badly she took fertility drugs gave birth Wednesday to sextuplets. One of the babies died of shock and doctors gave the other five only a “50-50 chance” for survival. Mrs. Sheila Ann Thorns gave birth to the sextuplets on her 30th birthday by Caesarian section. The babies were delivered two months prematurely by a 28-man team of specialists. The last-born of the sextuplets, a girl, died of shock shortly after birth. Doctors said Wculloch' 10-10A

the condition of the remaining five —three girls and two boys named Ian, Roger, Lynee, Julie and Susan — was “still frail.” Mrs. Thorns, wife of Norman Thorns, a Birmingham draftsman, took the news of the death of the smallest baby calmly. “If I just get one or two alive out of this, “I’ll be happy,” she told a nurse. A hospital spokesman said the babies were all born within three minutes and weighed between two and four pounds at birth. All were born living. A hospital spokesman said Mrs. Thorn had been under treatment with Gonodrophin, a fertility drug, and that doctors had expected a multiple birth for the past four months. Several cases of multiple births in recent years have followed a course of gonadotrophin hormone treatment to promote fertility. In October, 1966, Mrs.William Cwikielnik of Boston, Mass., gave birth to septuplets after fertility treatment but all seven babies died. Mrs. Grigitte Verhaeghe-de Nayer of Belgium also gave birth to seven babies in 1966 as a result of the fertility treatment, but they all died also. There have been recorded births of up to nine babies, but none of them has survived. Three cases of octuplets, eight cases of septuplets and at least 12 other sextuplet births have been recorded in this century.

QUASAB COMES TO GREENCASTLE Quasar...cok>r TV that’s worth looking into

Quasar'"ColorTV is the set with the "works in a drawer" The works: 10 tubeless plug-in mini-circuits for solid-state dependability and fast at-home service. It's so dependable you get a two year guarantee. Quasar is worth looking into because it's a different kind of Color TV. It's all solid state (except the rectifier and picture tube). That's different. Most of the components (or works) are in a drawer, in the form of 10 plug-in mini-circuits. And that makes Quasar different... because it's a snap to service in your home. Quasar provides a difference in dependability, too. Because the mini-circuits are tubeless, solid-state devices, designed to work for years without burning themselves out. And that is a big difference. Tubes burn out as they work. In time, they just naturally go dead. Not Quasar! No tubes! But if Quasar should ever need service, there’s a pleasant difference there, also. A serviceman can replace a mini-circuit in minutes in your home, not the repair shop. If you've been looking for something different in Color TV ... something better, stop and see the 23in. picture (measured diagonally; 295 sq. in.) Color TV. It's worth looking into.

Two happenings at New York’s Grand Central Sta-

tion. as reported by Fred Birmingham: A college lad supplied the name of his blind date to the man in charge of the main information booth, and asked that she be paged, without revealing the fact that he was on the premises: he wanted to give her the once-over first. They did hi bidding and the ending was a happy one. The girl turned out to be a dazzler. . . . Two foreign gentlemen arrived in the Main Concourse one morning with a quantity of fresh fruit, vegetables and lumber. Turned out that they had paid a couple of plausible strangers a goodly sum for the right to erect a fruit and refreshment stand in the middle of the action. Obviously, points out Birmingham, the boys who used to sell the Brooklyn Bridge have now moved uptown.
