A million American moth-1
ers will stage a “protest!
march” during January.
They are protesting been that
birth defects have too
long neglected. Even more,
they are demonstrating their
hope of assuring a Happy
Birth Day for 11,000 Ameri
can babies born each day,
700 of whom come into this
world with birth defects that
disfigure, disable or kill.
During the traditional
Mothers’ March for the March

and contributions for the 1966
March of Dimes fight strike against

tribute a new leaflet, entitled
“Happy Birth Day,” telling
members of their communities
what they can do in this im

plains what to do “If you are
about to be married, if you are
expecting a baby, if a birth de

you have with a defec

For the third consecutive
year, actress Jane Wyatt is
serving as national chairman
of the Mothers’ March for the
March of Dimes. Speaking about the to

informative aspects of their
duties, she says:
“Most of your neighbors
don’t know very much about
birth defects. If they did, there
would be twice as many March

ters right now. If they did,
every parent in America, every
young person who hopes some
day to be a parent, would re
act to the facts just as you and
I do. And they would want to
do something about it, get out
and march, ring doorbells,
make a contribution.
“All March of Dimes pro

out, “are ultimate important goal approaches of

Fatigue Sympton
i *— Of Exhaustion
| A
By Wayne G. Bramdstadt, M.D.
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Q — What is the difference bet
ween physical, mental and ner
vous exhaustion? What are their
symptoms? What is the best way
to prevent them?
A —By physical exhaustion
we usually mean that due to pro
longed physical exertion as in a
long-distance run. Mental ex
haustion implies staying too long
on a task that requires great
concentration, as in cram
mlng for an exam. Nervous ex
haustion is that due to a series
of frustrations or to insufficient
rest. It may occur after several
nights of late hours or interrup
ted sleep or after working un
der tension for a period of weeks
or months.
The chief symptom of all three
is an overpowering fatigue but
it Is often surprising bow quick
ly a person who Is physically or
mentally exhausted can be re
vlved with a short nap, & cup of
coffee, or a change to a differ
ent set of interests. The victim
of nervous exhaustion is much
harder to revive. He is usually
irritable and suffers a decrease
in general efficiency.
The best prevention for all
three Is to get your rest well be
fore the point of exhaustion Is
