PRE6NANCY PLANNING
®AND HEALTH
Mrs. 6loria Riggsbee
Dmt Gtorit:
I had a baby when 1 was six
ten, but now I am eighteen.
The question is can a girl get
pregnant by dreaming she is
maving sex with the boy she
loves. I dont have sex very
often. I don't want to get
pregnant again.
Too Young to Know About
Sex
Dear Too Young:
Sexual Intercourse causes
babies. Only sexual intercourse
nothing else. It only takes one
intercourse to cause a baby to
start to grow inside you. It
doesn't matter that you don't
have sex very often. Once is
enough to get pregnant.
If you don't want to get
pregnant, you have two choices:
(1) don't have sexual relations
until you're ready to get preg
nant again, or (2) use a proper
method of birth control every
time you have sex. The best
methods of birth control -- the
birth control pills and the IUD
--can be obtained from most
health department's free of
charge. Even if you are not
married, most health depart
ments will offer you free birth
control services, particularly
since you've already had one
child.
If you don't want to go to
the health department, go to a
drugstore and buy birth control
foam. Read the directions care
fully and use it every time
you have sex. Also, ask your
boyfriend to use condoms
(rubbers) every time you have
sex. If you use foam and your
boyfriend uses condoms (rub
bers*. you will be quite well
protected from pregnancy.
Everyone has a choice about
"when and if" to have babies
if they use birth control cor
rectly. Children are very special
people and they deserve love
and time and planning.
1 suggest you think all of
th» over very carefully. 1 think
you'll find that if you wait
until you're married to have
another baby, so you and your
husband can both take care of it
you and your children will have
a much better chance in life.

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:

11M kitchen appliance that is rising at an ever increasing
rate on the "most wanted" list is the automatic dishwasher.
Industry figures show that shipments have more than tripled
over the past decade, rising above the 2 million mark last
year. It reflects the reputation of today's dishwasher in han
dling after mealtime clean-up. This also reveals the emphasis
our society is placing on sanitation and health for the family.
If you want to join the
ranks of modern homemakers
who are eliminating the job
of hand waahing dishes, the
Kitchen Aid Division of The
Hobart Manufacturing Com
pany has a front-loading
portable dishwasher with fea
tures of built-in units, but
without installation coats.
These portables, from the
home of the newly developed
, "dishwasher with a brain,"
are notorious for their fine
features including Hydro
Sweep waahing action and
Flo-Thni drying. They boast
• specially built "Gold Seal"
motor with a five-year cus
tomer warranty. Here "con
sumerism" is programmed by
the manufacturer.
The top of the line Regency
has 8 push button cycles
which includes the exclusive

can get them for me. too, if I
want. I believe I have read in
your column that there is
more than one kind of pill. Will
you print which one is best.
Thank you.
E.
Dear E.
The only kind of birth con
trol pill anyone should take is
the one prescribed to her by a
doctor after he has examined
her. Never take any kind of
medication that has been pre
scribed for someone else. Some
women should not take birth
control pills and only a doctor
can say which type is right for
you.
You say your friend can get
pills for you. Why get them
illegally? Most health depart
ments offer birth control pills
free of charge. Many health de
partments also offer family
planning services to the un
married. So there is no need to
take chances either with your
health or with the law. I sug
gest you check with your doc
tor or the local health depart
ment of the local family plan
ning clinic.
Dear Readers:
Please include your name
and address on all correspond
ence to this column. Your name
will never be printed in the
paper, but the amount of mail
I receive makes it impossible
for me to include all letters in
the column. All letters will be
answered personally, however,
if you have included you name
and address.

SHOE SIZES
Shoe sizes are' deter
mined in numbers for length
and In letters for width.
The difference between
each numbered size is
minute —only one-sixth to
one-eighth inch, but it can
seem mountainous when it
comes to correct fit.

The portable line, like all
Kitchen Aid dishwashers, is
backed by professional expe
rience in the commercial
dishwashing field since before
the turn of the century. This
line is designed for mobility
and versatility, making it
ideal where apace is a vital
commodity. The front load
ing portable cap be stored in
any nook or comer of the
kitchen and brought into ac
tion when needed. If you
should decide to settle down
in the near future, there is a
convertible-portable, too, that
you can build in later. Top
loading units are also avail
able, and since none of the
portables require installation,
vou can use them immediate
ly and take them with you
when you go.
So if you become a desper
ado when faced with dirty
diahes, get with the action via
an automatic dishwasher, one
that moves with today's mod
ern way of life.
Give Decay the Brush

WOMEN ON THE GO keep tooth decay on the run by fol
lowing a daily program of dental care that can eliminate
tooth decay and keep teeth for a lifetime. Too many people
still believe that losing one's teeth is inevitable; not so,
report the makers of Crest toothpaste. In fact, by follow
ing these "preventive" measures, you can save not only
smiles, but expensive dental bills for your entire family.
Good dental health habits include a thorough brushing and
proper flossing at least once a day, brushing between
meals when possible, watching your diet and eating sweets
in moderation, regular check-ups and using a fluoride
toothpaste like Crest that strengthens tooth enamel to
resist decay. Crest now comes in two popular flavors—reg
ular wintergreen and new mint—both with stannous fluo
ride. They give you the double benefit of fresher breath
and healthier teeth.
