In the latter case you have a little patch of dark hair pasted on some place where it isn’t need ed. Truth In Superstition These old wives’ tales are false, but, even so, carry an element of primitive insight; the fact, just now being investigated adequate ly, that the attitudes and emotions of the mother during pregnancy do affect the child. This is in contrast to the “scientific” assumption of long standing that what happens to the mother is of little impor tance to the emotional life of the child. It has been known that infec tions, the nutritional state, and organ dysfunction in the mother could affect the baby. Medical re ports now are decrying the misuse of drugs during childbirth, since irreparable harm may be done the child. Hears Before Birth Recent experiments confirm the fact that not only does the child receive sound in the womb, but that he can “learn” or be con ditioned to noises. At 7 to 9 months he is startled by a door- three daughters spent the week end with Mrs. J. S. Wheeler. Nancy and Linda Wheeler remained for a longer visit with their cousin, Margaret Wheeler. Miss Trudie Coker of Sumter and the University of S. C. spent the weekend with Miss Phyllis Wise. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Shearouse have returned to their home in Hot Springs, N.

Rhoden of Clinton visited Mrs. J. A. Sease Sunday. bell buzzer. If pressure is applied to the mothers abdomen at the time the buzzer goes off, he can be taught to respond in certain ways. For a period of weeks the baby will respond in the same way if the mother’s abdomen is touched. There are no nerve fibers con necting the baby and the mother, and each has a separate blood system. Then, how can a mother’s fears and anxieties reach the baby she carries? Mother’s Anxiety In sfrite of this lack of neural and circulatory connections, the fetus is an integral part of a total body-mind system, and partici pates in all that happens. When the. mother is anxious or fearful, glandular secretions be come concentrated in the blood stream. These are of such small molecules that they pass through the placenta into the child. Thus “blood-borne” anxieties or stimu lations of momentary or longer duration reach the baby. The average fears and tensions of daily living would have only im mediate effect upon the baby, and occasional periods of serious stress would be overcome. The mother being upset constantly can bring about and maintain a state of irritability and overactivity of the baby in the latter stages of pregnancy, which may carry over to his post-birth personality. This helps account for the fact that mothers who have many physical complaints have children that are more disturbed. To be sure, we cannot isolate pre-birth influences of the mother when the same mother continues to influence the child after birth. But any allaying of her anxiety before and while carrying the baby would also make her a bet ter mother afterward. Women in our culture often are conditioned to fear childbirth and parenthood. Pregnancy brings out their need to depend upon the husband, which modern women may resent. When he fails in meeting her needs, she is more frustrated and feelings of insecur ity may plague every waking and sleeping moment. There is something about being pregnant that takes a woman back to the time when she was a baby. If these early experiences were un pleasant and anxiety-laden, re living them keeps her upset now, further adding to her fears that she might not be an adequate mother. Suggestions What can be done? • Many of the fears could be worked out through pre-marital or pre-preg nancy counseling by well-trained ministers, doctors and other coun selors. Those arising or persist ing during pregnancy should be talked out with the doctor or a counselor. Because of heavy of fice schedules too many women are turned away with only super- Battle Of Kings Mountain Was Turning Point In Revolution YORK—It was the darkest period of the Revolutionary War in the South, shortly after the American defeat at Camden. The British overran Georgia and most of South Carolina; the conquest of the South seemed about complete. Lord Cornwallis marched his Redcoats unopposed into North Carolina and sent Maj. Patrick Ferguson on a scout ing expedition to the Allegheny foothills to suppress the American mountaineers. But the mountaineers had other ideas. They mobilized under Col. Issac Shelby and £ol. John Sevier. Ferguson began to pull back toward the main British forces, and withdrew into South Carolina. As the pursuing mountaineers advanced, they were joined by patriots under Joseph McDowell and Col. William Camp bell, later by Benjamin Cleveland’s border fighters. More and more recruits swelled the mountaineers’ ranks. Ferguson camped his 1,125 men atop Kings Mountain just south of the North Carolina line. There on Oct. 7, 1780, the Americans surrounded the mountain and advanced un relentingly up its sides. Ferguson’s entire force was de stroyed; its commander killed. The Americans lost 28 kill ed, 62 wounded. The victory was, as the historian, Bancroft, wrote: “Like the rising of Concord, and in its effects like the success at Bennington.” It fired the distressed Americans with new zeal and enabled them to strike back in the long re-conquest of the South. The site of this famous battle now is Kings Mountain National Military Park in York County. A state park with all facilities adjoins. Msy nrw?c rr .
