PREGNANCY PLANNINGAND HEALTH

by Mr*. Gloria Rifpbet

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: In 1958I had surgery in which mytubes and my right ovarywen» removed. I was 18 yearsold at the time and it was anoperation which was necessarybecause of a bad infection.I still have my left ovary.What 1 want to know is this:

Some friends of mine havetold me that they have readof doctors inserting plastictubes in women so that theycould then have a baby. Myhusband and 1 want a babyvery much. I thought thatbefore I got my hopes up Iwould find out for sure if thiscould be done. Can you tellme? Hopeful

you are not careful; any gen-

eral soreness in the genital re-

gion; an urge to urinate often.

Syphilis will first manifestitself as an open sore or le6ionabout the size of a fingernailin the genital area -specificallyon the penis in the male or onthe labia in the female. Thesore appears at the point of

entry of the bacteria and us-ually is evident ten days aftercontact. It will "go away"even if not treated, but thisdoes NOT mean that you arerid of the disease at all. You

are still infected and can stillinfect others.

Here are some very goodreasons why you should worryif you think you have a vene-real disease and are i't beingtreated by a doctor.

Because venerealcause sterility, as in "Hope-ful's letter.

Dear Hopeful: I'm sorry totell you that experiments withplastic tubes have not been

successful. Please do not pinyour hopes on this. Doctorshave found no way yet tohelp women in your situationhave a baby. I'm afraid your

only answer is to consideradoption.

Because pregnant womeninfected with V.D. often givebirth to diseased babies.

Because syphilis in its laterstages can cause damage to es-sential body systems and mayresult in death. Nervous sys-tems are often so diseased that

serious mental and physicalimpairments results.

Because if you have V.D.you can easily give it to some-one else, which is no way at

all to show affection.

I am glad that you tookthe time to write, however, be-

cause I hope that your unfor-tunate situation will at leastserve to warn other readers ofthe dangers of untreated vene-real dir ease?in your case,gonorrhea, which is one of thebiggest destroyers of femaletubes.

Anyone who thinks hemight have gonorrhea or sy-philis should check with adoctor immediately beforethese gonorrhea or syphilisshould check with a doctorimmediately before these di-seases have progressed very far.

Venereal diseases are easilycured by doctors in the earlystages. However, doctors can-not "un-do" damage alreadycaused by the disease.

V.D. is passed exclusivelyby person -to-person contact.

Washing the sexual organswith soap *nd water, eitherbefore or after cpmtact. pffersNO protection whatsoever.The only way to avoid V.D.is to avoid having sexual rela-tions with persons you sus-pect might have the disease.

Gonorrhea manifests itself

as pain in the urethra, parti-cularly pain during urination;a milky or watery dischargefrom the urethral opening.This discharge is highly in-fectious and can carry infec-tion to the eyes, or throat if

Small Steering

Wheel AidSafety & Room

George Coggin, president ofCoggin Pontiac, has announcedthe arrival of Volvo's 1973line-up at his dealership. Ac-cording to Coggin, the newVolvos stress safety, comfort,engine performance, and de-sign. He also pointed out thatthis year, all models featurefuel injection.

The Swedish manufacturerhas made its most prominentchanges in areas designed to

improve driver and passengersafety. Among the safety fea-tures are child-proof rear doorlovks, heavier high-impact bum-pers mounted on hydraulicshock absorbers, a steeringwheel with a special column-collapsing device, cpmpletelynew safety dashboard and fire-resistant upholstery.

Coggin also pointed out thatthe smaller steering wheel with

its enlarged center hub andadded padding provides notonly easier steering and safetybut more knee room as well.

The steering column anchoragecan now displace on impact toalign the wheel with driver'sbody in an accident.

The new telescoping bum-pers are designed to absorb im-pacts up to five ftfues per hourin the front and two and ahalf miles per hour in the rear.

For additional body strength,boxed steel pillars are locatedat every corner of the passengercompartment plus another oneach side for sedans and two oneach side for the Volvo 145wagon. All model roofs arereinforced with steel crash sup-ports.

Coggin spokesmen express-ed pleasure that Volvo's con-cern for reduced exhaust emis-sions is reflected in the newmodels' fuel injection engines.The cumpter-monitored systemprovides more thorough fueleom bust ion and thus cleaner

exhausts by precisely regula-ting the air/fuel mixture undervarying conditions.

When asked about Volvo'sacceptance by car-buyers in theDurham-Chapeil Hill area, Cog-gin said, "We were very pleasedwith our Volvo sales figures forthe '72 models. .And with theimporvements and modifica-tions on the new ones, I thinkwe're going to be seeing lots ofVolvos on the streets aroundhers."

Another Volvo feature thatCoggin pointed out is place-

According to the WorldHealth Organization the Irishrank high on the list of well-fed peoples. This is probablydue to the large agriculturalpopulation and the plain butwholesome and cheerful foodthe Irish prepare so well.Irish soda bread, heatherhoney and stew are wellknown all over the world. Andso is Irish Coffee, with a jig-ger of fine Irish Whiskey in it.

Irish whiskey is made fromthe same grains as Scotch butis fuller-bodied and without asmokey flavor, a good heart-warmer for a cold Fall day.

T. M. Coleman, director ofPaddy's Irish Whiskey whichis distilled and bottled in theRepublic of Ireland, describeshis product as "smooth to thetongue, down-to-earth whiskey

for down-to-earth people."Coleman has an unusual familyrecipe for Irish coffee passeddown for generations and amarvelous Irish chicken dishflamed in whiskey, fine forcompany. Serve the chickenwith Colcannon, a delectablemixture the Irish make withbuttered green potatoes.

said, "makes it possible for the

driver to operate the wind-shield Wiper and washers, direc-tional signals, high beams, horn

and overdrive without takinghis eyes off the road or hishands off the wheeL."

In summing up Volvo'schanges for '73, Coggin con-cluded, "The changes they'vemade and the standard equip-ment features they've addedon all models are designed toprovide greater safety, comfort,convenience and engine per-formance in the medium-sized,medium-priced cars."

The next great ice age will beupon us in about 10,OM years.Certain inconveniences will bebalanced by sharply slashedsales prices on air-conditioners.

OUR HEALTHBy C. H. Tracy, M.D

While visiting my sister-in-law's new-born baby, I no-ticed an egg-shaped swellingon the baby's bead. Is thisnormal?

The egg-shaped swelling thatyou mention does occur fre-quently with new borns. It's

usually caused

ing no after-Dr. Tracy effects, since it

does not extend into the skullor involve the brain in anyway. You might have noticedthat most newborn babies areborn with a peculiar shapedhead, Which... will usually: re-turn to normal shape in oneto three weeks, or sometimeslonger. The reason for anelongated or irregular shapedhead is "Molding" which alsotakes place during the birthof the baby.

With summer over, I dreadlosing the tan I've worked sohard to get. I've purchased asunlamp on the recommenda-tion of a friend and wonderedwhat the benefits are? Will itreally help me keep my tan?

There are no physical bene-fits derived from a sunlamp,however, using one to keep orproduce a tan can give a per-son a sense of improved healthmerely because of the sun-tanned skin. Sunlamps can beextremely harmful to the skinand eyes unless used carefully.It's recommended that you al-

ways wear goggles to coveryour eyes, never look directlyinto the light, and only ex-pose your skin to the lampfor 3 minutes at a time. It'salso a good idea to turn yourface constantly when usingthe lamp.

Regular use of the sunlampwill keep your tan longer,however, you will notice thata tan, whether acquired bythe sun or by sunlamp, willfade if not attended to al-most dally. Also the tan youget from a sunlamp tends tohave an artificial look.

It'i necessary for me toshave my legs every day. Somepeople have told me the rea-son for this is that I startedshaving at a fairly young age,and now the hair on my legsgrows in faster and heavier.Is there any truth to this? Al-so; rily legs get very itchyafter shaving. What can bedone about this?

What your friends have toldyou about leg-shaving is mere-ly an old wile's tale, andthere's absolutely no truth toit. Hair does not grow anyfaster or thicker just becauseyou've shaved it. It alwaysgrows at the same rate.

As for the itchiness you mayexperience, my suggestion isto use a body lotion beforeyou begin shaving. Keri Lotionworks better than soap andwater, or shaving cream. Rubon a generous supply, tosoften and moisturize theskin. When you're throughshaving, remove excess creamwith a towel or cloth. KeriLotion leaves a protective filmthat will help keep your legssmooth and free from irritat-ing itch.

and D. A. Julius of Miami saythat all other departments haveoutlined programs of great in-terese and variety.
