(AP) — The exhausted parents of premature septuplets cradled their stillborn baby girl and prayed for their six surviving infants as doctors closely watched the newborns for any sign of trouble. Doctors said the 72 hours after the multiple birth Tuesday would be the most critical period for the four boys and two girls. The tiny infants — weighing from one pound, one ounce to one pound, 13 ounces — were listed in critical but stable condition in intensive care. Their mother, who had taken the fertility drug Pergonal, was delivered in her 28th week of pregnancy, 12 weeks early. “We're not out of the woods,” said Samuel Frustaci, 32, an industrial equipment salesman whose wife, Patricia, 30, a high school English teacher, had the babies by caesarean section. “We encourage people to continue to be prayerful.” Mrs. Frustaci spent 15 minutes Tuesday afternoon cradling the body of the stillborn girl, who was the last child delivered. Doctors said Mrs. Frustaci would spend up to three days in intensive care, where she was in good condition, and up to seven days in the hospital. Her husband, exhausted “just trying to survive the day,” said he also cuddled the dead baby earlier and prayed for the other infants. “It gives you some inner strength to realize this (stillborn) baby had a fighting chance,” said Frustaci, adding that he and his wife were devout Mormons. “We feel very strongly this baby will always be with us.” BABY INDIVIDUAL Tes Pane, director of the obstetrical nursing service, said that having the parents hold the dead infant “helps identify that that baby, even though it is a stillbirth, is an PHONE: 750 West P.

Dr. Ragnar Amlie said premature babies weighing less ean two pounds generally have a 30-per-cent to 40-per-cent chance to survival. But Worcester said: “Every baby has a 50-50 chance, and I think really it’s better than that.” The surviving babies, designated only as A, B, C, D, E and F, were delivered within three minutes starting at 8:19 a.m. Tuesday. Frustaci said the babies will not be named for at least a couple of days, but their first names probably will start with the letters A through F. History of sextuplets ORANGE, CALIF. (AP) — Here is a list of dates and places of sextuplet births in which all the in- fants survived birth: May 2, 1985 — Four boys and two girls to Jane Underhill of Burwell, Eng- land. Nov. 18, 1983 — Six girls to Janet Wilson of Liver- pool, England. Jan. 11, 1980 — Four boys and two girls to Rosanna Giannini of Flor ence, Italy. Jan. 11, 1974 — Three boys and three girls to Cape Town, South Africa. The Guinness Book of World Records says the largest recorded multiple birth was nine babies — five boys and four girls — to Geraldine Broderick in Sydney, Australia, on June 13, 1971. None survived. Guinness cites three un- confirmed cases in which 10 babies were delivered at a single birth: on April 22, 1946, in Brazil, in 1924 in Spain and on May 12, 1936, in China. Guinness lists no cases of Susan Jane Rosenkowitz of septuplets all surviving. Lives, the towering mountains Trans-Canada Highway. home stretch. desire to gathered viewpoint. STEVE AND FRIEND .. . Jones shares a break with Journey for Lives runner Fonyo passes Hope HOPE (CP) — A tired and sore-legged Steve Fonyo walked through this community of 3,500 this morning, out of the high country and on his way into the flat Fraser Valley with eight days left until the end of his Journey for Castlegar resident Gwen ‘The 19-year-old, one-legged runner was bothered by a sore leg Tuesday — a problem which he probably will have to endure until the run ends. Fonyo said he could “hardly wait” to get away from he has been climbing and descending throughout much of British Columbia. His effort Tuesday, mostly downhill and under sunny skies, brought Fonyo to the eastern edge of the Fraser Canyon town and within two kilometres of rejoining the Along the way into Hope were the people, the only spontaneous aspect left to Fonyo's carefully orchestrated They honked, waved, readied their cameras, got out their wallets and eagerly waited for him to pass by. They all spoke glowingly of Fonyo’s achievement, his raise money determination to complete his cross-Canada run. Jim Fairbrother was one of about 10 people who to wait for Fonyo approximately three kilometres east of the Hope Slide for cancer research, his in Sunshine Valley, “If the young people today had 10 per cent of the guts that he’s got, and the determination, we'd really Steve near Manning Park last weekend. have a country,” said Fairbrother, a 42-year-old Surrey resident. Vera St. Louis, 68, said Fonyo is a symbol of great courage. By the time Fonyo completed his daily 32-kilometre quota, the donations raised on the road alone totalled $3,035. But the rally jumped three hours later in Hope's Memorial Park where Fonyo was presented with a further $17,333 raised by area residents. More than $7 million has been raised, including government pledges, since Fonyo began the run in St. John's, Nfld. almost 14 months ago. had cancer myself and I appreciate what he's trying to do,” St. Louis said. Further along the road, directly under the slide that claimed the lives of four persons in 1965, a group of about 40 congregated around Fonyo as he took a break. Langley resident Norma Ross, 53, said: “I think he's a fascinating man, I really do. B.C. Everybody should be proud of him.” Gerry Mattie, a 53-year-old Langley resident riding his bike to Ontario for a Boy Scout jamboree, donated $25 and said Canada needs heroes such as Fonyo. “I think that the Terry Fox incident probably did more to draw this country together than any of the politicians in my lifetime have,” Mattie said. “Steve's making it. We need people we can build legends around.” CosNewsPhoto by Doug Horvey He's just got the pride of T CHUR 1401 Columbia Ave. Sunday Services 8:00 a.m. & 10:00 a.m Robson Church 2nd and 4th Sundays 10 a.m. Rev.

Dr. Peter Scholefield, ex ecutive director of the Na- tional Cancer Institute of Canada, said the money slated for cancer research from Fonyo's cross-country fund-raising run “will be very significant,” even though it seems small compared to the billions of dollars being spent to fight the disease world. wide. Fonyo, who is to complete his run May 29 in Victoria, has raised more than $7 million so far, including gov. ernment pledges. About 40 per cent of the total raised is slated for research, with the remainder earmarked for pa- tient services and public ed ucation programs, and some- what less than 10 per cent going for expenses incurred in the run. Scholefield said the money raised by Fonyo is significant because it's “money over and above what's normally do nated.” Last year, the Canadian Cancer Society raised $26 Westcoast Seafoods located at Castlegar Mohawk FRIDAY, MAY 24 10 a.m. to7 p.m million, with much of it coming during its April door. to-door canvass. This year's drive, while not complete, is lagging — $10.5 million com pared with $11.3 million at the same time last year — but it's difficult to say whe ther the Fonyo effort has directly affected the society's normal fund raising. The cancer society drive raises roughly $1 per man, woman and child in Canada, the institute director said. The $22 million raised by late Marathon of Hope runner Terry Fox — most of it dur- ing a telethon, as he lay dying — almost equalled that rate. “The big difference, though, is that this is extra money,” Scholefield says. In Canada, the money raised by the cancer society is augmented by federal and some provincial govern ments, totalling about $2 per capita.

Hydro ordered to clean up PCB spill VICTORIA (CP) — Envir- onment Minister Austin Pel- ton said Tuesday he has or- dered B.C. Hydro to clean up a spill of polychlorinated bi- phenyls (PCBs) in north- eastern British Columbia which the New Democratic Party says was caused by government neglect. The spill from a B.C. Hydro storage site at the Kennedy sub-station near MacKenzie, about 170 kilometres north of Prince George, was discover- ed during a routine inspec- tion May 7. Last Friday, the ministry issued a warning against fishing or drinking the water from a stretch of the Parsnip River and the Colbourne Creek. The hazardous liquid was believed leaked from one of the 14,000 unused electrical capacitors at the site. The chemical had been widely used as a coolant in high voltage power equipment until it was linked to birth defects and skin rashes, and banned in 1979. Pelton told the legislature that the spill, although small, was in which electrical equipment contain- ing PCBs located in the province.” The Crown corporation will build a covered storage facility at the Kennedy sub- station by October this year for all unused electrical he said. could “pose a long-term haz- ard to humans and to fish life.” In addition to immediately containing the spill, B.C. Hydro has agreed p inspect all stored electrical equip- ment and place any leaking units in containers, Pelton said.

Dr. Gerry Karr, a Pentic ton internist who took over the post at the association's weekend convention in Whitehorse, said the legisla. tion does not provide a solu- tion to the problem of medi- cal manpower and distri bution in the province. Doctors need billing num bers to be paid by the provincial medicare plan. The bill is a successor to Bill 50, which Health Min- phy ’ billing Karr said the association would “co-operate with other parties in any committee which will seek fair and last- ing solutions to the manpow. er problem” but “will not be- come involved in any process which is directed at provid. ing regulations to help the minister limit manpower sup- plies through controls on bil- ling numbers.” Karr’s only response was " when asked if the asso- ation in the courts should it be passed in Victoria. ister Jim Nielsen last week. Meanwhile, in Victoria Nielsen said Tuesday that the doctors should go ahead and sue the government. “Whatever they want,” shrugged Nielsen. “It's their privilege — if their lawyers need more bucks.” Karr said the association is eager to work with parties on any committee seeking sol utions to the problem, but believes the latest bill is not the answer. The proposed legislation also authorizes the estab- While ging that British Columbia has more doctors per capita than any other province, Karr told reporters at a news confer. ence the proposed legislation would “selectively discour. age the best doctors from even considering practise in this province.” He said the legislation, if passed, will result in doctors avoiding practising in remote areas of B.C. for fear of being “locked in,” and this will make worse, instead of bet- ter, the shortage of doctors in such areas. — SOCIAL / ECONOMIC ‘Sharing Approaches That Work” Orgonizotions, clubs, societies ond enterprising individuals B.C.

Landscaper Terry Robert- son, 21, of nearby Pickering, said he pooled resources with his three friends to buy five $1 tickets. Gary McCrerdie, vironment critic, said the spill was “not something that just happened overnight.” She told the legislature that Hydro was told to re- move the capacitors several years ago, but managed to convince the government “to agree to let those capacitors be stored just inside a wire fence, in the open air, cov- ered with snow several months of the year, and to remain there until some fac- ility for destruction was available to them in Alberta.” “It is absolutely immoral,” she said. “I'm just shocked that this has happened.” 21, of Pick » Tim Scott, 23, and Dave McKellar, 23, of Toronto are out-of-work la- borers drawing unemploy- ment insurance benefits.
