Council made a fast trip to
Boise and back Tuesday,
July 5, when a patient in
the Council hospital needed
a blood transfusion and lab
work in a hurry.
The Sherrif was called at
2:00 A. M., left Council at
2:30 A.M. and was back in
Council by 6:15 A. M. It
took the lab about one hour
to do the matching.
The Sherrif's office in
Weiser, as well as the Police
in Payette and the Ada
County Sherrifs office
cooperated all the way.
In Weiser and Payette
road blocks were provided
so the vehicle could pro-
ceed through town with no
stops. Jim was escorted
from the City Center off
I
ramp by Ada County Sher-
rifs ,car to che hospital lab.
The patient for whom
the blood was procured is
doing fine now.

Researchers Link Alcohoi m
Pregnancy to Birth Dt fi
ONLY IN THE PAST four years have researchers recognized a link between
heavy drinking and birth defects. Now they have found that up to 40 per
cent of babies born to women who are chronic alcoholics during pregnancy
may have abnormalities that comprise ~'fetal alcohol syndrome."

Suspicion that alcoholism
during pregnancy harms the
unborn child goes back a long
way. Surprisingly, evidence
linking alcoholism and birth
defects did not come to light
until about four years ago.
At a March of Dimes-spon-
sored conference on birth de-
fects in 1973, we described
eight children who had come to
our attention because of strik-
ingly similar abnormalities. In
each case, we found that the
mother had been a heavy
drinker during pregnancy.
Since then we have pub-
lished studies of 41 children
with a pattern of birth defects
apparently caused by their
mothers' alcoholism. The find-
ings are not yet well known
outside of medical circles, de-
spite the fact that alcoholism is
a disorder of epidemic propor-
tions and its effect on unborn
babies appears to be a serious
public health problem.
While the affected infants
are not exactly alike, they have
much in common. Almost all
the infants are underweight at
birth, have abnormally small
heads, and are retarded in phys-
ical and mental development.
Symptoms
Most have poor coordina-
tion, narrow eye slits, and un-
derdevelopment of the mid-
face. Many of these youngsters
look more like each other than
like their parents or siblings.
About half have heart defects
and more than a quarter have
birthmarks and joint defects.
This pattern of defects is
called "fetal alcohol syn-
drome." To date, there is no
evidence that~ these children
catch up with normal young-
sters mentally or physically.
An obvious question is
whether this pattern occurs
only in children of the alco-
holic poor, and so might result
from malnourishment or con-
taminants of cheap liquor. The
answer is no.
We have seen the pattern in
offspring of alcoholic mothers
of all socio-economic levels,
and conclude that the effects
are directly traced to alcohol or
its breakdown products in the
body. There is ample proof
that:alcoho!j a_s. . thz
placenta'iLnto~'t~e" u~ba~y~s
tissues. There have even been
reports of babies born with al-
cohol "on the breath" and
blood levels in the range of
medically defined intoxication.
Dr. Widukind Lenz of Mun-
ster, West Germany, the physi-
cian who first reported a con-
nection between birth defects
and thalidomide, has called at-
tention to a 1968 study by Dr.
Pierre Lemoine of 127 children
of chronic alcoholics in Nantes,
France, who had the same pat-
tern of birth defects that we
have observed. Now that the
pattern is known, reports from
other doctors are accumulating.
Further Studies
Research supported by The
National Foundation-March of
Dimes seeks answers to ques-
tions about the number and
severity of alcohol-related
, LIFE
birth defects. We now know
what to look for in the way of
symptoms, and animal studies
are a step toward measuring
the extent of the problem.
The soundest advice for any
woman who drinks very regu-
larly and heavily is to avoid
childbearing. One who thinks
she is on a borderline between
alcoholism and just drinking
too much and too often, shogld
cut down sharply on alcohol--
mrticularly during pregnancy.
