Supremes Will Be Calmer On This Atlanta Visit Chances are better than good that The Supremes, who will appear in concert here Wednesday, April 19, at 8 p. m. at the Municipal Auditorium as the featured performers in an all-star show, wilt not be as jittery as they were the first time they sang before a home town (Detroit) audience. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, who make up The Supremes, the leading female singing group in the music world today, were better known in Europe at that time than they were in Detroit, the town in which they were born and raised. Appearances at the Eden Roc in Miami and the Copacabana in New York had given the girls stage presence and in England they made history when they became the first vocal group ever to attain the voveted status of topping the British record polls. Even so, their nervousness was apparent when they opened an engagement in the Rooster all, a leading Detroit night club, a scant four miles from Detroit's Brewster Housing project, where they had been reared, friends since childhood, and formed a singing group that performed at church functions, parties and social events. But their anxiety was dispelled as soon as they completed their two "warmup" numbers and the adult crowd was swaye dby their artistry and responded with two standing ovations. It was then that the singing group, whose Motown Records have sold millions of copies, knew that they had a "new" following in the Mom and Dad ranks whose kids had known all along that The Supremes were "super" and "groovy' and all the other superlatives the youngsters reserve for favorte entertainers. After the Detroit opening Berry Gordy, Jr., president of Motown (that's a contraction of Motortown) Records, who discovered the girls ad this to say; "They said they were more nervous tonight than in their opening at the Copacabana in New York. It meant more to them, coming home. "I remember when they came to see me. They were about 14 at the time. Skinny kids. I sent them back to finish high school, but I knew they had something. A sound. But more than that they had love inside. Love for their families, for each other. And they haven't changed. These are the young women who will appear in concert here April 19. They call their sound "blues wits a pop baet" and that's a pretty good description of it. It has been good enough to earn them three Gold Records for three consecutive hits that sold more than 1,000,000 platters each and scared them to fame and fortune. Their singing is a pleasant blend of voices and their repertoire run the gamut of popular music. Wth record sales topping the 4,000,000 mark and royalties for the past four years well into six figures, The Supreme aren't letting their fame go to their heads. Each lives on an allowance of $50 a week, the remainder being earmarked for savings accounts and solid investmentc. Meanwhile, not only have their record carters flourished, they are now in demand for ersonal appearances, network television programs and motion pictures.

The number if persons killed in these accidents is also down slightly — 71 deaths this year against 77 for the first quarter of 1966. Figures compiled by the Atlanta Traffic and afety Council show that there were 52 fatal accidents in the five - county area this year, compared to 68 for the first three Months of 1966. Multiple deaths, or more than one death per accident, account for the difference in the figures for accidents and deaths. George Goodwin, President of the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council, said. "The Council is pleased with the fact that there have been reductions in both categories. The efforts of local law enforcement officers and officials aimed at accident causes have obviously played a part in bringing about these reductions. However, all - out efforts by law enforcement officers, traffic court judges, government officials and the help of the driving public are needed to continue the reduction of this needless loss of life and to reduce it even more. The application of the principles of defensive driving could help tremendously in avoiding and prevening accidents." Mr. Goodwin pointed out that a study of the March accidents showed that leaving the roadway and head-on collisions continued to be the major causes of traffic deaths. These are the main categories usually associated with high speeds or speeds too fast for existing conditions, leading to drivers losing control. "Learning the conditions involved which lead to loss -of - contra and the defenses against them is a vital part of the eight - hour defensive driving course being taught in classes throughout tin area by the Atlanta Traffic and Safety Council." Mr. Goodwin said. He quoted from National Safety Council statistics that, "Nine out of ten two - car collisions could have been avoided by either driver." The key to the whole theory of preventing traffic accidents is an old established three - part plan: 1. Recognize the hazard, 2. Understand the defense, and 3. Act in time. The accompanying table shows the five - county traffic death breakdown including a separate listing for the City of Atlanta. Some of the Atlanta deaths and accidents are duplicated in the Fulton and DeKalb County totals.

PRO FOOTBALL STAR BOB HAYES SAYS: Advances In Treatment of Birth Defects Face Talks Progress in treatment of children with birth, defects and prospects for future advances will be discussed by nearly 250 medical directors and staff specialists of 82 March of Dimes - financed Birth Defects Centers at a national conference in Chicago, April 12-14. Dr. Daniel Bergsma, New York, Director, Medical Department of The National Foundation - March of Dimes, will lead the conference at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. "Our primary purpose is to consolidate the rapid stride that have men made in the treatment of birth defects as the March of Dimes Center network has grown," Dr. Bargama said. "Through continuous exchange of ideas and comparison of methods and experience, we seek to improve the quality of care for children born with serious problems caused by prenatal development." Conference speakers and work shop loaders wil be outstanding experts in clinical medicine and research from the nation's leading medical institutions. Following its victorious fight aginst-polio, the National Foundation - March of Dimes turned its attention to birth defects which strike an estimated 250,000 babies born in the U. S. each year. Birth defects take an annual toll of approximately 500,000 fetal deaths and 60,000 deaths among children and adults. Almost 80 per cent of birth defects can be treated, and often cmopletely corrected. If early diagnosis, modern medical care and rehabilitation are obtained. Once available in only a few major medical centers, such, comprehensive care is now increasingly available through March of Dimes Center in nearly all parts of the nation. "Rapid communication of new knowledge gained through clinical research is essential if children born with defects are to derive maximum benefit from medical advances," Dr. Bergsma said, "This conference will be a person-to-person extension of our Center communications system to speed new knowledge to every part of the nationwide network." Pediatricians, orthopedists, neurologists, urologists, geneticists and many other medical specialists will attend the Birth Defects Centers Conference along with psychologists, physical therapists, medical social workers and rehabilitation experts from Center teams. The "team approach" at March of Dimes Centers bring together the skills of all these highly trained specialists to deal with the complex medical, social and economic problems caused by the birth of a child with disabling, defects. In addition, each Center provides continuous, coordinated medical care in a single setting, eliminating the confusion and frustration, that can result when the parents of a child with complex problems must be referred to one specialist after another, at different locations. Since the first March of Dimes Center, was established in 1960, three types have evolved. One is the Evaluation Center, of which there are now 24 in 16 states. This consists, of a diagnostic service where a team of specialists determines each infant's medical problem and recommends specific treatment in consultation with the referring physician and the parents. The second type in the Birth Defects Treatment Center, usually established in a teaching hospital or in affiliation with the medical school of a major university. In addition to diagnosis, these Cen ters provide expert treatment, for inpatients and outpatients and conduct accredited teaching courses. There are now 46 March of Dimes Treatment center in 38 states. The third type is the Birth Defects. Research Center which focuses on special aspects of birth defects. There Centers conduct programs of basic laboratody research; seek new surgical, medical and rehabilitation techniques through clinical research, and train physicians and other specialists in the newest methods of total care for the patient and his family. The National Foundation-March of Dimes finances 12 of these center in 11 states. INFLAMED EYES? PRESIDENT TOURS THE SOUTH — Making his first official visit to the South since his election.
