17--Leader-Times Banning, Pa. Leaving 3 Dead, Tons of Tuesday, Aug. 19, 1969 Rock Music Fans Depart Muddy Festival Grounds WHITE LAKE, N.Y. Woodstock Music and Arls Fair ended after an all night concert Monday, leaving in its muddy wake three young rock fans dead and 5,000 injured--100 ol them suffering from bad trips on LSD. Tons of trash littered the 600- acre dairy farm where the three-day festival of rock and folk music played to an unexpectedly large audience, of 450,000 at its height Saturday.

The third fatality occurred Monday during the exodus when an unidentified young pedestrian was struck by a car on route 17B just east of the fair grounds. State police said he was carrying food and a festival program. The other two deaths were a youth run over by a tractor while sleeping in a field Saturday and another who apparently took an overdose of heroin Sunday. A force of 230 state policemen kept traffic flowing almost normally on roads leading from this rural community in the Catskill Mountains Monday, unlike Friday when some cars heading to the fair were trapped for as long as seven hours on two-lane Route 17B. Hitchhikers lining the shoulders of the highway carried signs asking for rides to destinations as far awav as Quebec and Florida.

One youth was headed for the Panama Canal Zone. Despite the rain that turned the fields to seas of mud and the lack of easily available food and shelter that sent young people foraging on farms and in villages and towns for miles around, both the festival crowd and local residents ware enthusiastic about each other inmost cases. Woodstock Ventures the promoters, said they lost money on the fair. An i a 150,000 persons bought tickets in advance, paying $7 for one day or $18 for all three, but no money was collected from the 300.000 who turned up without tickets.

OJDear Helen: I wrote to Tigers, the battalion in Vietnam that wanted mail from home, and got a very i nice letter in re- ipiy- The problem is that my parents don't think I should cor- respond with this man. They say he could be of a different race, or otherwise "not the right kind" and that later in life someone would hold this against me.

They're very big about their "Mayflower roots." I don't want to marry him, or even meet him just want to cheer him and his friends up a little. After all, I'm 18, and not a giddy little girl who. falls in love with a letter. Talking about my town or school won't "lead him an." I respect my parents' opinion, but answered the letter anyway. They didn't "forbid," just "warned." What's your opinion? WONDERING P.S.

I'm really arguing with myself, aren't Dear Won: I think you just won the argu- I merit. Happy writing! And congratulations for away from the nestf H.

Do you have any real great suggestions? READER Dear Reader: You're doing something special for your mother every day, Honey, just by showing her how much you appreciate her. This is the greatest gift a parent can receive! But I understand that "something more" feeling. When you love a pei-son, it's such fun, making her happy. So how about a "Mother's Day in Bring her breakfast in bed, and let her get up to find notes, hi unusual places the refrigerator, on the vacuum sweeper, the curtains, the sewing machine, even around the cat's neck telling her in many ways she is Mom of the Year. Then, take over housework, even to cooking dinner, and end up with a movie or play attended by the whole family.

I guarantee your mother will be the proudest gal in 10 counties and you'll probably hear her telling the grandchildren all about her wonderful surprise, 20 years H. Dear Helen: My brother won four merit awards in the 9th grade, and gets "A'' in all his citzenship grades, so my mother thinks he can do no wrong. Every time I tell her he hit me, she asks, "What did you do to HIM?" I don't do anything. He knows he can get away with murder, almost, so I have to be his slave. If I won't, he slugs me, and I get the balme.

Woody Allen was ecstatic about a movie he happened to write, direct and star in and did everything but urge the studio audience to leave immediately for the cinema. Ted Sorensen, one of the Kennedy family a i launched his campaign for senator from New York. Hedy Lamarr, a breathtakingly beautiful grandmother, asked everybody to. withhold judgment on her career until they read her autobiography "Hedy." Delighted About Series Another beauty, Leslie Ug- gams, revealed under pressure from Griffin that she is delighted about her forthcoming CBS series, "The Leslie Ug- gams Show." Moms Mabley, a great soul singer, told a joke that shook the network censors, and then sang a lament from her new album that will do its sales absolutely no harm. This is no reflection on Merv or.

for that matter, on Johnny Carson of NBC or Joey Bishop of ABC who also have to make the same compromise to persuade celebrities to appear. So the deal is network airtime (and commercials sell for many thousands of dollars a minute) for your pet project or personal publicity provided you do a turn to earn it. And having established that, let us proceed to see what Merv did with the opportunity for a network show after five years successful syndication. Carson is funnier, Bishop cornier but Merv strikes a nice smooth balance that lends point to his opening remark that Auditions for the Musical Theatre Guild's production of "Mame" will begin Sunday, Aug. 24, for performance Oct.

Case Records of A Psychologist Ellen's query is typical of young wives who are expecting their first baby. So scrapbook this case or mail it to young married couples. For lack of knowledge about what to expect in childbirth, often terrifies women, yet childbirth is usually a simple process and not unduly painful nor dangerous. although he had read a great deal about the three-way competition he thought there was room for everybody. "I'm going to try to entertain you," he said.

After the show Merv said he had a two year firm contract, with four years of options. He said there was a danger with three shows competing for the same celebrities. It's just a gamble that you'll get them on a good night, Merv said, adding: "I recognize there'll be plenty of dial turning this season." And so there will. Jokey, hokey and folky. Take your choice.

D. CASE K-580: Ellen aged 23, asked me to address her Women's Club. During the luncheon following my 1 A.M. lecture, a number of young wives sat near me. Three of them were expecting babies within the next few months.

"Dr. Crane," Ellen began, "I wonder if you'd explain what goes on when we are due at the hospital? "For we three wives have never had a baby before. "And some of our doctors are not very talkative, so they just expect us to follow orders blindly- "It would relieve us of a great deal of anxiety if we realized what to expect." Childbirth Strategy During the last month of pregnancy, the unborn baby usually is hanging head downward in its mother's womb. And when the muscles of the womb begin their rhythmical contractions, say at 10 minute intervals, that means labor has started. The purpose of those contractions is to move the baby's head slowly downward through the pelvic canal.

For the baby's bead acts as a round dilator. You expectant mothers should then relax and let nature take its course, for this slow descent gradually dilates the canal without injury to the baby's brain. Too swift a descent may cause internal bleeding inside the baby's skull and produce a spastic child, so don't try to hasten things until your physician asks you to "push down," which comes late in the process. The length of labor averages about 18 hours with the first baby and 10 or 12 hours with the next. When you enter the hospital, a doctor will have the nurses give you an enema and also ask you to empty your Wackier, for the less obstruction in the lower pelvis, the easier the head will descend.

And the doctor will make a rectal examination by finger in order to feel through the rectal wall and detect how wide the cervix is. For the cervix is the neck of the womb, through which the baby's head must pass, and it takes hours for complete dilation thereof. During labor, try to relax between contractions aud drift off into sleep for a few minutes. If you get a steady ache in front of your tailbone (coccyx), that means the baby's head is being shunted off the back wall of the pelvic canal, which is slightly angulated, like the elbow in a stovepipe. When the baby's scalp begins to show, you will probably bo given a full anesthetic, prior to an episiotomy.

In episiotomy, the doctor makes an incision at the 4 o'clock position, to widen the vaginal opening and also prevent an accidental tearing into the rectum. When the baby's head finally slips out, its shoulders and the rest of its body easily do likewise. While the mother is still unconscious from the anesthetic, the umbilical cord will be clamped off and cut. And the repair of the episiotomy will then be made. So send for my booklet "Facts About pregnancy," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 (Always write to Dr.

Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) No Market LOS ANGELES (UPI)--The thief who stole the sole copy of a film of the 1906 'San Francisco Earthquake from the Los Angeles County Muslim of Natural History won't find a ready market for it. Asst. Curator James Zordich explained that because of the film's age and nitroglycerine base there is a distinct possibility the film, worth $5,090. will explode if run through a modern projector.
