About one baby in every twenty is born prernatureiy. Why are we so con cerned about our premature ba bies? B-'caiiie premature births' cause nearly one half of the in fant deaths in Nebraska. In 1946, 27,7 "3 babies we re born in Nebraska. C40 infants (babies "YOUR under 1 year) died. 384 of these babies died because of premature j birth. ; The pre mature baby is very j weak and delicate, his body is ; underdeveloped. Therefore, the body does not function as' well as ' in the full term baby. Because ! the premature baby is fragile he will need very special care. What , special care does the premature i baby need? Warm, even heat, ; immediately following- birth. It : i is necessary to piace most oi , I them in incubators to maintain j the proper temperature. Many premature babies cannot l breathe the air into which they ! are born, and must have oxygen, i These babies mus't have the right 1 food, given carefully and at the : rig-ht time Premature babies have practically no resist : ance to infection. There i fore, it is necessary to protect them from exposure to any in fection. It is important that per ' sons caring for the premature J be free from colds, sore throats', etc. The premature baby needs rest and ouiet, and should be handled only w hen necessary care is being given. All this adds up to the need for the be-st possible medical and nursing care, preferably in a hospital where the special fa cilities, mentioned above, are a vailable. Many hospitals have purchased incubators for local use. The State Department of Health has distributed incuba tors to every county in the state. Several organizations have spon sored projects for the purchase of incubators for their local hospi tals. This is indeed a worthwhile and commendable project. M-.ro than 165,000,000 tele phone calls are made daily in ihr- United State's alone. - v FRIENDLY FORD i I Trrr t r ? rail i i gilJLJ?
