This advice | may, be given only in contemplation of the physical re- | sults of such a policy. They overlook the advantage which | accrues when like marries like, in order to acquire some- thing like a reasonable prospect for harmiony, peace and | mutual helpfulness. While we would not decry the research of scientists or imagine that the physical qualities of the race cannot | be improved by what one might call ‘scientific breeding,” we are not sure that this:is.the only factor in raciak, im- provement, Surely, there is something to be said for men- } tal and spiritual qualities, which, in the long race of life have had much to do witn the happiness, quality prospects of the offspring. and | THE COURTS ACT TO PROTECT CHILDREN In a New York hospital, a three-year-old child, ill of peritonities, was about to die, according to the testimony of four surgeons, and:only a blood transfusion raised the possibility of saving the child’s life. In this situation, the mother of the child opposed the blood transfusion on the ground that it was contrary to teachings in the Bible. She quoted from Acts 15; 20, Levi- ticus 17: 12-14 and Genesis 9: 4. In addition, she quoted from a religious publication, which asserted that blood | transfusions were contrary to the Bible. Under the circumstan¢es, the question naturally | arises whether a parent, in custody of an infant child, has the right to make a life-or-death decision on the basis ot religious beliefs in contradiction to established opinien of responsible medical, -auithorities. A court order was sought and obtained, which authorized the hospital ane thorities to proceed with .the transfusion. ee The courts of this country have frequently assumed responsibility for the welfare of infant children. In con- nection with suits for. divorce between husbands and wives, the legal principle which is followed in most states considers only the welfare’ of the child and gives no re- gard to the rights of either parent when to do so would be injurious to the child. This controlling principle, connection with custody cases, other instances, as well. in | seems to be appliable to _ SLICE OF HAM 4 | By BILL GIBB j 2ehind such a cattle drive like an| No re ap Too Great | that | Johnson bagged his deer on | first shot this y | from his horse, hand and dropped the |a shot throvzh the head.
