Title:Description:Text transcribed from caption: C-46291 SIAMESE TWINS BAPTIZED PHILADELPHIA -- Clara (left) and Altagracia Rodriguez, the two Siamese twins separated in a historic operation in Philadelphia last September, pose for a picture after their formal baptism into the Roman Catholic Church at Children’s Hospital. Father Gabrial Rea, C.M., of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church, baptized the children. The girls, who were taken home to the Dominican Republic several days after the baptism, were given conditional baptism when they were born in August 1973, as they were not expected to survive. The ceremony in the chapel of Children’s Hospital was witnessed by the 23 members of the surgical team that separated the twins.

Their benefit performance for Soviet Jewry is being sponsored by the Spectrum, Philadelphia's 12,500-seat arena, and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia in cooperation with the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. The Panovs will be accompanied by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

He was imprisoned twice during 1972. Neither he nor his wife, who had been a solo dancer with the Kirov Ballet, were permitted to dance publicly in the Soviet Union for almost two years.

Description:Text transcribed from caption: C-46187 ELDERLY TAKE LEADERSHIP TRAINING COURSE PHILADELPHIA -- Dr. Arthur S. Flemming, commissioner on aging for the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, presents diplomas to some 800 older persons from the five-county Greater Philadelphia who participated in a two-day leadership training program under the sponsorship of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's Senior Citizens' Council. Dr. Flemming, who also delivered an address, presented the diplomas during the Senior Citizens' Council's second annual convention. The training courses are intended to develop leadership abilities in elderly persons taking the course, so that they may in turn help to guide other persons of the same age group to needed services. Workshops were led by professional social workers from the division of aging of Catholic Social Services. Topics discussed in the various sessions of the course included participation of senior citizens in the many cultural, recreational and educational programs offered through the facilities of public and nonprofit agencies within the area, how to locate and properly utilize health care and other social welfare programs, how to organize for political action, and other matters of interest and concern to persons past retirement age.
