Fire Destroys LaFountaine School
About 509 pupils of the LaFountaine school were anticipating a longer vacation when fire destroyed the old building and the gymnasium on Wednesday of the Christmas vacation. However, arrangements were made to transport the high school pupils and teachers to the Noble township: school in Wabash county. Junior high school pupils and teachers were taken to the Lincolhyille school building for their classes. The remaining first six grades were kept in the new building that was completed in 1960. It adjoins the old part which was destroyed by fire so school will be delayed until the damaged walls are taken down and the evidence of the fire are taken away. The cause of the fire has not been determined. It was discovered about 11 Wednesday evening and seemed to have started in the northwest comer of the gym. Wooden bleachers and flooring, tinder dry, burned rapidjy an<J flames swept along halls and into the rooms of the old building. Firemen from LaFountaine, Wabash and Marion fought the fire.

Mothers-to-be Must Diet Properly, March of Dimes Research Shows
No doubt many a healthy young mother-to-be has wondered why her doctor puts so much emphasis on proper diet during pregnancy—especially if she’s never been ill a day in her life, and she has a yen for wholesome foods. . But there’s good reason for it. More and more it’s becoming evident that for the sake of her child a pregnant woman must have a diet adequate in vitamins and minerals, particularly in the early stages of the baby’s development. The reason lies in the dread words: birth defects. , Until about 20 years ago, scientists generally went along with the idea that birth defects in higher that includes man—were due for the most part to heredity. So if a baby had picked out the right ancestors, he had a better than good chance of coming into the world perfectly norrpal, and sound of mind and limb. Complex Factors Involved Today, however, doctors know the story is not that simple. An increasing number of studies have shown that a wide variety of factors play a part m the birth picture. If a mother gets either too much or too little of such vital substances as hormones, oxygen, minerals or vitamins during certain stages of her pregnancy, the baby may fail to survive, or may be born malformed. Under a research grant Irony The N a ti° n al FoundationMarch of Dimes, Dr. Marjorie Nelson at the University of, California has been trying to determine just how the absence of a vitamin or mineral may interfere with normal prenatal development. She has found that in rats the absence of even a single one of certain important minerals or vitamins during early pregnancy can produce drastic effects. Apparently nature has set up a delicate balance which a mother’s body must maintain. If this balance is upset even for a relatively short time, permanent damage may result to the offspring.

Dr. Marjorie Nelson, March of Dimes grantee at the University of California, inspects research specimens under the microscope. It's part of her study to determine the influence of vitamin and mineral deficiencies as causes of birth defects. In her San Francisco labo r ratory Dr. Nelson has demonstrated that even a temporary deficiency of a vitamin such as folic acid during early pregnanfcy can cause birth abnormalities in these young laboratory " animals. The defects may range from the relatively minor to the very severe which include brain damage, displacement of intestinal, organs, cleft palate or serious malformations of the heart and eyes. Timing Is Critical When Dr. Nelson puts the normal pregnant animals on such a folic acid-deficient diet during the second week of their pregnancy, at least 80 per cent of the embryos die or are malformed. However, if she carries out the same experiment about a week earlier or a week later, the young appear to suffer no adverse effects, thus under", ning the importance ofi proper diet at the critical stages of pregnancy. In a woman, the comparable period of pregnancy extends primarily from the second to the eighth week of the baby’s development. Radioactivity Used Dr. Nelson has also obtained a high incidence of skeletal defects in young rats when the
period. The Dim & Bradstreet Reference Book lists all manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers who seek' or grant commercial credit. It does not include some of the service and professional businesses such asbeauty and barber sh’ops, security dealers and real estate brokers. Aubrecht added that during the past year 351 changes were made in the Dun & Bradstreet Reference Book listings of Kosciusko county businesses, including names added,

mother animal’s diet was deficient in the mineral manganese. She is extending these studies with support from The National Foundation-March of Dimes using radioactive material in the diet to trace what gogs wrong inside embryonic to hinder their normal development. According to Dr. Virginia Apgar, director of the division of congenital malformations of The National Foundation, “Dr. Nelson’s project a direct bearing On the question of birth defects in humans. It is definitely known, for example, that> severe folic acid deficiency in a woman can lead to loss of a baby during early pregnancy.” And As Dr. Nelson has pointed out;* equally significant, the congenital malformations in the young animals that survive are irreversible. No amount of vitamins given later in pregnancy can undo the damage • once a deficiency has occurredduring the critical period of pregnancy. ‘ Clinics Are Established Because of the increasing problem of birth defects—it is now estimated that significant malformations occur in one in every 16 babies born in this country—each year—The Na- . tionai Foundation - March, of Dimes has recently established ,a number of Special Treatments and Clinical Study Centers for coping with this crucial medical question. The Birth Defects Treatment Centers are in Jackson, Miss.; Atlanta, Ga.; Seattle; Portland, Ore.; San Francisco; Little Rock, Ark.; Indianapolis; Morgantown, W.

In addition, Birth Defects Clinical Study Centers are located in Oklahoma City; Nash- 1 ville, Term.; ands Columbus, Ohio.
