STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS Through the courtesy of Family Services and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County Passive Infants Contrary jto what proud par­ ents have long believed, the most responsive, vigorous new­ borns may not be the infants who develop into the most in­ telligent and active children. Rather, according to scien­ tists from HEW's National In­ stitute of Mental Health of the Health Services and Mental Health Administration, babies who are more passive during their first few days of life are the ones who are more likely to mature into intelligent, re­ sponsive youngsters.

On the other hand, infants who breathe rapidly, are highly sensitive to touch, and who quickly react to interruption of sucking often exhibit lower levels of activity and perform­ ance at 2Vi years of age. Dr. Richard Q. Bell, chief of the NIMH child research branch, who headed the re­ search, says that, although vigor and responsiveness have been considered healthy signs in newborn infants, this is not necessarily true. "On the contrary," says Dr. Bell, "it is possible that a state of relative stupor could be a protective mechanism in the transition from womb to out- side-the-womb existence. Thus, this torpor could be a sign that the developmental processes are proceeding properly." The findings are based on study of 75 normal newborns. Their development was period­ ically checked by the NIMH research group. A sample of the original group was evalu­ ated at preschool age and again at 7Vi years of age. Saunas In Finland, saunas are often built as separate cabins made of wood, sometimes roofed with sod, and preferably next to one of the nation's 70,000 lakes. In southern California they may be built in colonial Spanish style complete with curved roof tiles and plaster outside walls. COMMENTARY THE LONE RANGER of the 1970s isKung Fu, which comes out of the blistering sun each week on ABC--not on a trusty steed and shoot­ ing silver bullets, but on bare feet and shooing away all comers with his style of oriental boxing. EACH WEEK the contem­ plative monk Kwai Chang Caine walks into a different town and helps the local citizens solve their most pressing problem. At the end Caine walks off into the wilderness, while old- timers like me listen for the hearty hi-ho-Silver of yester­ year. ONE MAY never know the true identity of the masked rider of the plains, but Kwai Chang Caine is in reality o n e D a v i d C a r r a d i n e , a trained dancer who has taken only a few kung fu lessons. WITH THE HELP of the Lone Ranger, Caine, Batman a n d o t h e r s , t h e n e t w o r k s might get most of their fall shows on the air the week of September 10. This was the date originally hoped for. Now that the four-month-long writer's strike is settled, ptogram producers are mov­ ing rapidly to catch up.

OBJECTIONS to this may or may not be out of place. However, writers and direc­ tors could be reminded that beauty, tenderness and sin­ cerity are also very much a part of reality. PERHAPS the message of the media would be better received if the accent of the communication were more balanced--a pinch more of beauty, a dash less of gore.

STAFF PHOTO/WAYNE GAYLORD TocJoj/s Health Nen/s Published by the Ameriban Medical Association ABOUT YOUR i HOME When Mrs. Rose Kennedy first; learned that Rosemary, her eldest daughter, then only a few years old, was mentally retarded there were few places she could turn for help. Rose Kennedy had never even known anyone with a re­ tarded child. Half-century later, she stands today as an expert on the needs, problems, and future of these special children. In an interview with Today's Health, Mrs. Kennedy discussed the role that both society and the indi­ vidual must play in aiding the retarded. "We must recognize that the mentally retarded are simply peo­ ple of a relatively impaired order of intelligence who need a chance," she explains. "With prop­ er care and training, more than 80 percent of the retarded can lead productive lives." being to woo the viewer back from the parched, dry summer TV fare so he'll be awake for the fall premieres which begin September 10. IN DAYS of yore football was thought to be a winter sport, but times have mend­ ed. If the trend continues, soon the gridiron will be sizzling year around. On July 27 ABC will cover the College All-star Game in Chicago; the next day "Wide World of Sports" expands to cover the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game at Canton, Ohio, where the San Fran­ cisco 49ers will play the New England Patriots. High on Mrs. Kennedy's list of priorities are the sheltered work­ shops that are being established all over the country to help the retarded learn productive skills. Another is the Special Olympics sponsored by the Kennedy Foun­ dation. "The Special Olympics af firms the ability of the mentally retarded to be physically active," she says, ^nd the greatest need is for volunteers Who will work with children on the program. Early medical attention is also important in helping prevent and detect any problems. "Every pros­ pective mother should see a doc­ tor regularly and often in the nine months following conception. "Yet," she says, "thousands of pregnant women -- an estimated 30 percent, or one in three -- do not see a doctor at all in this early period." But society must also take a step in changing its attitude to­ ward the retarded. "We must," says Mrs. Kennedy, "get rid of the totally false notion -- which still persists -- that mental re­ tardation (a relative lack of men­ tal capacity) and mental illness (malfunctioning of the originally intact mind) are identical, when they are not even related. "We must do our part as indi­ viduals to help 'normalize' these fellow Americans by not think­ ing about their differences and concentrating instead on the far more numerous respects in which the retarded are like us," she ex­ plains. "For they are, you know; In most instances, it's just that their minds are slower and they simply have to start earlier." WANT MO*E INFORMATION?
