MEDICAL
JOURNAL
__!r|_ft
According to a recent
broadcast sponsored by the
Columbia-Presbyterian Medi-
cal Center and The Prudential
Insurance Company, women
who are extremely overweight
or underweight tend to give
birth to smaller-than-average
babies.
Dr. Roy Petrie, associate
professor of obstetrics and
gynecology at Columbia-
Presbyterian Medical Center
compared the weights of
nearly 300 women with those
their newborn babies
and found a significant cor-
relation.
“Women who are under-
weight tend to have babies
who are very small. The same
is also true of obese or over-
weight mothers. The under-
weight mother, herself being
undernourished, needs addi-
tional calories and energy to
get herself in good condition.
Nature is going to take care
of putting those calories to
mother first and then sub-
sequently to the baby. On
the other hand, an overweight
mother—who
rns—more
energy to maintain her daily
requirements needs a certain
amount of calories to do this.
Whatever is left is sent to the
baby.”
Dr. Petrie referred to small-
er babies as being “growth
retarded.” He said, “The
smaller baby doesn’t seem to
function as well as a baby of
normal weight.

Austin, Texas after a
lengthy illness; a graduate

lege, she had taught Phy-

sheer Campus in Austin.
In an era when recrea-
tional facilities where ra-
cial segregation was sev-
erely restricted. Aunt
Much whose career
seemed to he thrust for-
ward by her own sense of
mission, trained young
women to be ladies. She
was one of the most
sought after Chaperones
in Texas.
During the summer
months, she saw many
children with nothing to
d*. Recognizing a need
for an activities program,
she started Day Camps
offering Recreation and
Arts and Crafts. Thou-
sands of young children
have been helped through
her efforts.
Aunt Much was a mem-
ber of Zeta Phi Beta,
the Austin Board of Di-
rectors for Parks and Re-
creation and David Cha-
pel Missionary Baptist
Church where she served
in the Jr. Mission and
also taught the Jr.Class of
Sunday School.
The daughter of the late
Junious (Uncle June) and
Knavie Gregg preceded
her in death. She was on
one of 13 children, 11 of
which preceeded her in
death. Leaving to mourn
her death, is her foster
