PREGNANCY PLANNING
@AND HEALTH
Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee *
Dear Gloria:
I am 54 years old. My
periods stopped in November,
1969, for 13 months until
December, 1970, when I had
another completely normal
period. I went to our .family
surgeon for a physical exami
nation and a pap smear. He
told me everything was OK
and he could not find any ab
normality. He said he felt like
I just had another ovulation
left in my body and that this
was it.
Six months have passed and
I have had no more periods.
Do you think I still could be
come pregnant? I certainly
would not want it to happen at
my age, for the risk would be
too great. When I asked the
doctor, he just laughed and
said he could not guarantee
that I would not get pregnant.
Would appreciate an answer,
for some of my friends have
similar problems.
Mrs. F.
Dear Mrs. F.:
As your doctor has told
you, no one can guarantee that
you wont get pregnant. Or
dinarily, doctors advise women
to continue to use birth con
trol for at least one year or
as much as two years after
their last period (even if that
General Motors Gives $75,000
To United Negro College Fund
NEW YORK, N. Y. -
General Motors Corporation
has donated $75,000 to the
1971 campaign of the United
Negro College Fund, a 25%
increase over last year, it was
announced today.
Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.,execu
te director of the UNCF,
expressed the Fund's gratitude
for the gift which, Mr. Jordan
says, brings GM's contributions
over the years to the UNCF, to
$1,200,000.
"We are tremendously in
cpired by this support from
one of the greatest corpora
tions in the world," Mr. Jor
dan said.
Richard C. Gerstenberg,
vice chairman of GM and vice
chairman of the UNCF** Na
tional Corporations „ Com
mittee, said his company feels
its contributions to the UNCF
are "more of an investment
than contributions, because we
have seen the dividend it
pays."
Mr. Gerstenberg said the
continued existence of the pre
dominantly black schools is
"vital."

last period was very short and
lasted only a day or two). In
your case, since you did have
a normal period after a 13
month absence of menstrua
tion, you probably should
figure on using a reliable
method of birth control for
another 12 months. If nothing
else happens, this will mean
you will have gone a full 18
months without a period and
you should be safe after that
time. As I |am sure you know,
it is very important that you
continue to see your doctor
for a physical examination and
a pap smear at least once a
year even after you have gone
through your change of life

Eximbank
Bill OKd ' I
WASHINGTON - The House
voted Thursday to expand ex
port credit financing by the Ex
port-Import Bank but blocked
a move designed to liberalize
East-West trade.
The bill, passed by voice vote
after sharp debate, would ex
pand the Eximbank's lending
authority, primarily by remov
ing its transactions from the
government's unified federal
budget.
The major fight came as the
House, by a vote of 207 to
153, retained the current ban
on Eximbank financing of ex
ports to Communist block coun
tries supplying materials or aid j
to North Vietnam.
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Mrs.'
Frankie Freeman, national pre
sident of Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority, is spending the next
six weeks in seven African
countries meeting with govern
ment and private officials in
the housing industry to discuss
their housing needs and pro
grams.
Mrs. Freeman also is ohe of
the two official representatives
of Aid for International Deve
lopment (AID) of the State
Department at the United
National Housing Conference in
Togo for West African Coun
tries.
She will return to the
United States in time to share
her observations before the
national convention of Delta
Sigpia Theta in Houston,
August 8-13.
For 20 years Mrs. Freeman
served as attorney for the St.
Louis, Missouri Housing Au
thority. She presently is a
member of the U.S. Civil
Rights Commission.
Mrs. Freeman said, prior to
her departure for Africa, "I
will be discussing with African
officials how- people, and
women in particular, are in
volved in the process of meet
ing housing needs in their
respective countries."
Housing, Mrs. Freeman
added, is one of the major
program interest of Delta
Sigma Theta. She pointed out
that the Houston Alumnae
Chapter has bought land and
broken ground for a housing
development to provide home
ownership for low-income
families. Recently, the Detroit
Alumnae chapter co-sponsored
with the Michigan Civil Rights
Commission a housing seminar
which was addressed by Mrs.
Freeman.
According to Mrs. Lynnette
Taylor, Executive Director of
Delta Sigma Theta, a national

TO 808 HOPE
JRP
Comedian Bob Hope accepts the 1971 Lions International
Humanitarian Award from Dr. Robert D. McCullough of Tulsa,

the major concerns of Lions Clubs throughout the world.
The presentation was made this past weekend in Washington,

fTIPS ON
* CAR CARE
ti
Don't Let Your Car Lose Its Cool
Here are a few tips that could save your car and
you from spending a hot summer afternoon steaming
by the roadside.
Give your car's cooling system a simple inspection.
Start with your radiator, engine block and heater hoses.
Check these for cracks, a
sure sign that hose failure
is not far off. Another test
for hoses is squeezing them.
If the hose remains col
lapsed after you squeeze it
down, instead of springing
back, it probably needs
replacing.
If you find one hose that
needs replacing, it is wise
to replace all your car's
cooling hoses. All too often
a motorist replaces a bad
hose only to find, much to
his chagrin, that 20 miles
down the "pike" his trip
is terminated in a cloud
of smoke.
One of the most common
causes of overheating, ac
cording to B:F.Goodrich
car care specialists, is a
stuck heat-control valve
in the heat riser located on
the lower right side of your
car's manifold. When
working properly, this
little gadget warms up and
then opens. When corro
sion or engine deposits
build up on the heat-con- |

trol valve, they can cause
it to stick closed, leading
to engine overheating.
Spraying the heat riser
with a solvent/lubricant
that can be purchased at
most automotive stores
will cure the problem and
prevent its recurrence.
The belts that drive;
your car's fan, alternator
or generator, and air con
ditioner should also be in
spected for wear, damage
and tightness. A screech
ing noise from under the
hood as you start or accel
erate your car is a sure sign
that a belt is loose or worn.
If tightening a belt doesn't
cure its screeching prob-,
lem, the belt should be
replaced.
If your car checks out
in all these tests and still
seems to run excessively
hot, it should be taken to
your local car care center
where an expert can check
the condition of its water
pump and thermostat.

If you're going to
college to be a leader,
why not take the
leadership course?
I! you're good enough to get an
Army ROTC scholarship, it'll pay
lor all your tuition, books and lab
fees. And give you year 'round
spending money.
If you're a high school graduate
and you take ROTC when you get a
crack at a three-year scholarship in
your freshman year. Or a two-year
one the year after. Or one that'll
pay for your last year.
With Army ROTC, you never lose.
Even if you don't win a scholarship
and the folks wind up footing the
bills, you get an Army commission
when you graduate. That makes a
college investment pay off a lot
better. For years to come.
As an Army officer, you'll ex
ercise leadership. Manage men and
material. Work closely with people
from all walks of life. From all over

For example, in May the
survey indicated that there
were 84.1 million men and
women in the civilian labor
force; 6.2 percent were out of
