Or life is over before it begins. Before birth, the fetus floats in a fluid-filled sac. Without breathing. Even the tiney lungs are filled with fluid. The unborn baby depends completely on the placenta for its oxygen and nourishment. But to prepare for breathing on its own, the fetus exercises certain muscles; these movements can be measured exactly. At the moment of birth, a normal baby opens its mouth, takes its first breath, 'then lets out a blasting cry. The cry helps force the liquid from its lungs. In a normal baby’s lungs, the millions of air sacs are coated with a substance' called surfactant, which prevents the sacs from collapsing completely when air is exhaled. It is in the air sacs where the vital ex change of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place. When the baby is prema ture, the lungs may be underdeveloped, without the necessary amount of sur factant, and respiratory distress syndrome may develop. Then liquid and plasma proteins may enter the air spaces of the lungs and produce hyaline mem brane disease, the leading cause of death among new born infants. To understand how this abnormality develops, Dr. Richard D. Bland of the University of California-San Francisco is studying the movement of liquid and protein in the lungs of fetal and newborn lambs. Dr. Blands’s research, which is supported by a California Christmas Seal grant, may help determine how the abnormality may be correct ed.

Representative Jack Flynt, Sixth District of Georgia, made the following statement today about his six day fact-finding mission to the Republic of Panama. “For the past twelve years I have been concerned about proposed and on-going nego tiations designed to transfer the Panama Canal and the ten mile wide Canal Zone to the Republic of Panama. I have always opposed these efforts, and whenever the opportunity has arisen, I have so voted to express this opposition. “During 1976, the efforts to push these negotiations through to Treaty have been intensified and a date for renewing negotiations was set for the week of February 14, 1977. These renewed negotiations have now begun and are under way. “It has been several years since I have been to Panama, so I used the recess period February 10-15 to fly to Panama and once again make an on the spot assessment. “While there, I participat ed in both previously arranged and spontaneous meetings at the American Embassy, Headquarters, Southern Command (Depart ment of Defense), with the Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, and officers and employees of the Panama Canal Company. In addition, I met and conferred with Panamanian officials, Pana manian business and profes sional men, and Americans managing Panama offices of American businesses. “The American and Pana manian negotiators are now meeting on Contadora Island in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 45 miles from the Isthmus of Panama. Every indication points to the negotiation of a Treaty which would surrender United States jurisdiction over the Panama Canal Zone and transfer it to the Republic of Panama. This transfer would transfer judicial and law enforcement jurisdiction in the Canal Zone and over American citizens to the Republic of Panama. It would also probably include provisions for gradual transfer of the Canal itself and Canal operations from the United States to the Republic of Panama. “I oppose the transfer of jurisdiction over the Zone itself and the Canal opera tions from the United States. “The Panama Canal, under United States owner ship and operation, has been open to international com merce ever since it was completed in 1914 except for a very short period of time when the Canal closed because of falling rocks and sliding earth into the chan nel. This was promptly cleared up and operations resumed. The maintenance of the Canal itself, including all locks, channels, and entrances have had a 100 percent maintenance record. There has never been any delay of a ship’s passage because of faulty main tenance of any kind. “The Panama Canal, under American ownership and control, has been a major factor, perhaps the dominant factor, in the economy of the Republic of Panama. Due to this infusion of American influence and American dollars into the economy, Panama today has the highest standard of living in Latin America, the highest per capita income in Latin America, and perhaps the strongest national economy in Latin America. Panama (City) is the banking and financial center of all Latin America and with 74 banks doing business there, it is probably second only to New York City in the entire Wester Hemisphere as a banking and financial center. “All these things taken together have made possible a stability in the and Government of Panama. This stability could not have been achieved without American influence mani fested through United States jurisdiction over the Canal Zone, together with owner ship and operation of the Canal. This entire operation has met with nearly perfect success since the original treaty was signed in 1903. I can see no reason to change something that has worked and is continuing to work so well. “We do not know what the result will be if the United States surrenders jurisdic tion of the Canal Zone and relinquishes control of the Canal itself. I think it unwise to trade off something that has worked so well for something of an unknown quantity and with so many unknown factors. "Under the Constitution, the House of Representatives will not have a direct vote on the ratification of the Treaty. The only voice the House will have in this matter is through the Appropriations process, through implimenting legis lation. or through direct action by the House on a resolution expressing opposition to the surrender ing of United States rights in the Panama Canal Zone. “Having just returned from both the Canal Zone and the Republic of Panama, I am convinced it would be a serious, perhaps tragic mis take for the United States to surrender the Canal Zone and-or the Panama Canal itself." Congressman Flynt has introduced a bill (H R. 31) in the current session of the 95th Congress concerning the Panama Canal. The bill provides "that it is the sense of the House of Representa tives that the Government of the United States maintain and protect its sovereign right and jurisidction over the Panama Canal and that the United States Govern ment in no way forefeit, cede, negotiate, or transfer any of these sovereign rights or jurisdiction to any other sovereign nation or to any international organization." mm I ITTua"* \ ■ ' J Punch a banker tonight.

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1977 Hints Given For Physical Exercises Have you been sitting around lately feeling kind of sluggish and vaguely out of shape? W'ell, one cause of that draggy feeling is lack of exercise. And when it’s cold outside, it really seems much more of an ordeal to get involved in vigorous physical activity.

For your copy of Adult Physical Fitness, send 70 cents to the Consumer Information Center, Dept. 33E. Pueblo. Colorado 81009. The booklet gives you three general types of exercise warmups, conditioning, and circulatory. “Always do right; this will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” . *J7 -MARK TV.M\ > f&iK Mi¥7 A rig hi*job assures kf 0 jj customer loyally. sSy jj Ph. 468-6475 The warmup exercises stretch and limber up your muscles and speed up your heart and lung action, so your body will be ready for greater exertion. This will reduce the risk of strain too. The conditioning exercises are planned to tone up abdominal, back, leg, arm and other major muscles. The circulatory activities are the most vigorous and you choose one for each workout. They include alternately running and walking , skipping rope, or running in place. All are effective. Be very sure before you start on any exercise program that you have a checkup by your family doctor. And tell the physician what kind of exercise you have in mind.
