mm l LOCAL NEWS I SHIVA BASKETS .. . Sinai Hospital will conduct screening tests for Thy-Sachs disease beginning June 6. Tay-Sachs causes progressive destruction of the central ner- vous system and death by five years of age. There is no cure for Tay- Sachs disease. However, it can be prevented by screening prospective parents to find out if they are carriers of the Tay-Sachs gene. If both parents are carriers, they have a 25 percent chance of having a child with Tay-Sachs disease. About 85 percent of Tay-Sachs victims are Jews of Eastern European ancestry. A simple blood test deter- mines whether or not a per- son is a carrier. Sinai is offer- ing the test at two screening locations, the main hospital on Outer Drive east of Green- field in Detroit, and the new Berry Health Center on Or- chard Lake Road north of 12 Mile Road in Farmington Hills. Screening hours will be June 7-9 from 9 a.m. to noon. Specific appointment times will not be assigned, although patients are asked to call 493-6060 to let the office know what day they'd like to come in for the test. Tests can be done at other times by special arrangement. Results will be sent by mail or phone in about two weeks. The screening program is sponsored by the Sinai Hospital Guild and Depart- ment of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Red Cross Offers Classes The American Red Cross, Southeastern Michigan Chapter, will offer a variety of health and safety education classes during June. Health and safety educa- tion courses offered include "Multi-Media Standard First Aid," "How to Measure Blood Pressure" and "Babysitting." For information or to register, call the American Red Cross Oakland Regional Office, 334-3575. mii"mmil NEWS I"'" THE HEBREW MEMORIAL CHAPEL # get Sr-- '- will hold 0000 WITH GOOD TASTE Tay-Sachs Screenings Due A Thoughtful Expression...
