I resurrected my notes and determined to write them into an article, but they were about as complete as one would expect from a 15-year- old ''author." To find other details I referred to the various writings of two area historians, J. Evetts Haley and John L. McCarty. They had interviewed a number of pioneers back in the 1930's to gather information for their works. Haley's research unearthed Archeve- que's link with L'Archeve- que of Bayonne.

Insuronce. To Acquire Air Force Land The more than 2,000 acres which the City of Amarillo be deeded by the Air Force at Amariilo Air Force Base is enclosed in the dark border above.

BOSTON A A team of correctly predicted the sex of bahies prior to birth consecutive times using a new test. But the doctors warn that the test is not meant to "satisfy the of expectant parents. The new test, developed at the Albany N.Y. Medical College, is based on cells that are taken from the amnionic fluid siirrnnnding the nrsborn child in the womb by needle.

A series of chemical tests is then marie on the cells to find a tell-tale female chromosome. Each Female cell contains a pajr of X-chromosomes. Males have an X-Y pair. In the female cell, one of the chromosomes found, by straining, lightly coiled the side of the cell's nucleus. When it is found, the prediction is but without it.

Thp doctors, reporting their findings in the current New England Journal of Medicine, said they conducted the tests in connection with studies of women with an RR factor problem, an incompatibility between the mother's a child's blood. The scientists said early determination of an tinborn child's srx would be valuable if doctors suspected the po5- sihility nf a sex-linked hereditary disease. In some cases, they wrote, an accurate prediction might make a therapeutic abortion desirable, or in the future make possible corrective action. The report said that when proper tests could be made, the prediction was 100 per cent accurate. But they said thp test could not always be performed for various reasons.
