ASSOCIATION OF OUTPATIENT DIRECTORS
The purpose of this communication is to
make known the existence of the Association for Pediatric Ambulatory Services. This organ-ization (formerly the Association of Pediatric
Outpatient Directors) has as its objective the
promotion of improved patient cane, teaching and research in ambulatory pediatric clinics. The Association is independent and unaffiliated
with any other pediatric organization. The charter members are individuals whose interests
and activities are for the most part concerned with outpatient department functions.
Member-ship in the Association is open upon application
to others interested in various aspects of
ambu-latory pediatrics.
Meetings of the Association will be held
an-nually in conjunction with the spring meetings of the American Pediatric Society. The annual meeting will consist of two parts: An open
sci-entific program at which papers dealing with
teaching, patient care and research in
ambula-tory pediatrics will be presented, and a
busi-ness meeting for members of the organization. For further information write to Dr. Fred-erick Blodgett, Secretary, Grace-New Haven
Community Hospital, Howard Avenue, New
Haven, Connecticut.

Dr. Herbert E. Coe, of Seattle, Washington, received the William E. Ladd Medal for out-standing achievement in pediatric surgery at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. William W. Belfond, Presi-dent, in awarding the medal, stated that Dr. Coe can truly be regarded as one of the fathers of children’s surgery in the Western
Hemi-sphere. Another pioneer was Dr. William E.
Ladd, the man for whom this medal is named.
Only two previous awards have been made by
the Surgical Section since the plan was estab-lished in 1954. Dr. Coe was introduced to the field of pediatrics in 1919. He has served Seat-tIe’s Children’s Orthopedic Hospital for oven 50
years. He has been a Fellow of the Academy
since 1936 and was a leader in the formation of the Surgical Section. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree at the University of Michigan, studied pediatric surgery at Boston Children’s
Hospital and was a member of the Board of
Governors of the American College of Surgeons for 19 years.

CHILDREN’S BUREAU PUBLICATION
Mongolism, which occurs in about one in
every 600 or 700 babies, is the subject of a
new Children’s Bureau publication, The Man-goloid Baby. The publication, one in a series for parents who have children with handicapping
conditions, tells what is known about mongol-ism and advises parents on the kinds of
adjust-ments they may need to make if they have a
baby with this condition. The publication points out that one of the decisions parents must make
is whether they will be able to or should try to care for the mongoloid baby at home. It warns
against a hasty decision which might ignore such factors as the needs of the baby or his
effect on his parents or other children in the
family. The Monogoloid Baby outlines some of
the sources of help which parents can find
either on a community on state basis. The
pub-lication is available from the Superintendent of
Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office,
Washington 25, D.C., for 10 cents a copy.
