You've just pulled into the motel, road-weary and hungry. And the desk clerk apologetically an nounces there's no room for you and your family, even though you made a reservation last week. This after a busyflay of sightseeing and driv ing is the last straw. Fortunately, though, there are steps you can take to nail down your motel room for the next time. First, you should know stantly live with the problem that you, as a customer, do have a firm leg to stand on. The American Hotel & Motel Association says in its Code of Operating Practices: "We pledge to honor con firmed reservations. If, for reasons beyond our control, a room is not available for a guest to who we have con firmed a reservation, we witl make every effort to get him Oi her a room at another hotel or motel in this area at a comparable rate and provide free transportation to that property." So, you should be able to expect a motel to assist you in finding another room and getting you to' it. You should not be stranded. You are justified, of course, in feeling that a re served room should be held for you. AH&MA spokesmen have conceded this to me and have also said that the as fociation is extremely con cerned about this situation. Unfortunately, though, the problem is not going to go away altogether. One reason is that per sons often extend their re served stays. Someone be comes ill. Weather is bad. A plane flight is canceled. This can leave fewer rooms avail able for incoming persons with reservations. Then, too, hotels con- of "no shows" travelers who make reservations and do not show up to claim their rooms. AH&MA records indicate tliat between 15 and 50 of their confirmed reservations wind up as "no shows." To protect themselves from "no shows," many mo tels and hotels "overbook." They confirm reservations for more rooms than they actu- ally have available. Here are some guidelines for you to help protect your self on room reservations and also to ease the situation for all travelers: , Ask if the motel or hotel subscribes to AH&MA's Code of Operating Practices and adheres to the code. Put your money on the In addition to making that reservation, send a de posit to cover the first night of your stay. Give your time of ar rival. Especially if you're ar riving later than 6 p.m., alert the clerk to hold your room. Notify the hotel about delays. Call ahead if weather or a change in plans suddenly causes a late arrival. Vacate your room promptly. Observe the hotel's check-out tine when you leave. If an emergency keeps you beyond your reservation date, notify the room elerk as soon as possible. Don't be a "no show." line. House, Amelia Charles, of the Office of Technical Cooperation the United Nations, and Roscoe Monroe, Assistant Director of NASA Equal Opportunity. The power lawn mower is "dangerous at any speed," but it is less dangerous at slower operating speeds. For this reason, North Caro lina State University extension specialists urge mower operators to run the machine at the slowest speed possible to get the Job done. Another factor: high blade speeds cause excessive mower wear,... , Jf-'' MjMM 1 Dear Gloria: I started taking birth control pills a month ago, not knowing at that time that I was already pregnant. Of course, a toon as I realized I was going to have a baby, I stopped taking them. Now I am worried that the pills may have harmed the baby. la this possible? Or could they cause me to lota the baby? My husband and I had not planned to have a baby Just yet, but now that we an expecting, I don't want to have anything go wiong,' - Mrs.W. Dear Mrs. w No, the birth control pills you took will not have any effect on the baby, nor will they cause a miscarriage. You did not mention seeing a doctor since you discovered you are pregnant. If you have not yet been to the doctor, please do so - regular doctor visits during pregnancy are very important, both for your health and that of your baby. Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: . There are so many kind of birth control pills now -not only different brands, but different strengths. I understand some puis are stronger dosages than others. How does a person decide which one she should take? P.R. Dear P. R.: A woman doesn't decide which type of birth control pill she should take. This is one reason the puis are not available except by prescription. A woman needs to be examined by a doctor and interviewed by the doctor or a nurse or social worker before a decision is made as to whether or not she should take the pill at all, and if so, which of the many types of pill now available she should take. Birth control pills are a drug, and just as with any other drug, even aspirin, there are a few women who should not take them. As I have'said before in this column, only a doctor is qualified to decide whether or not you should take the pill and what brand and dosage is best for you. That is why you should never borrow pills from a friend or obtain them in any way other than by a doctor's prescription. Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: I hope you don't mind getting a letter from a 12 year old gul Some girlfriends and I have bean talking about going swimming when you have your period. One girl who goes to high school says the girls go in the pool whether they are "rick" or not But some of us have been told by our mothers never to go swimming at that time of the month. What is the right thing to do about this? S.T. DearS. T: Of course I don't mind receiving a letter from a 12 year old. I am delighted to hear from anyone who has a (question concerning reproduction or any matters relating to this general area. Nowdays most doctors, health teachers and physical education teachers agree that it is perfectly all right for a girl to go swimming during her menstrual period, provided she wears a tampon to prevent the water from becoming contaminated Swimming or bathing in very cold water may stop the menstrual flow temporarily, but indoor pools are generally heated. It is true that, in your mother's day, it was generally said that it would be harmful for a girl to go swimming or even shampoo her hair, but this is no longer the case. The tfltent Happenings!

Many college seniors preparing to teach, teacners normal, healthy girl should suffer no ill effects from swimming, no matter what mth it is. And please, don't refer to the menstrual period as being "sick". This is another "old-fashioned" term which should no longer be used Having menstrual periods is a normal bodily function of a healthy female, not a "sickness".

Fattem Seaboard Coaches Meet: Prexv is Named mmwmmm v ' GREENSBORO - Nineteen football coaches from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association met in Greensboro, June 8-9, to discuss items of mutual interest. In its second year of organization, the Eastern Seaboard Coaches Association members elected A & T's head football coach, Hornsby Howell, as their president Coach John Marshall of Livingston was selected vice-president. Beginning in 1973 the CIAA and ME AC coaches will sponsor a banquet for members of the two league's all-conference teams. At that time a "Coach of the Year" will be chosen from both conferences. The coaches, who will meet in the Gate City again on August 11-12, passed a resolution calling for the honoring of football "letters of by athletes at aid CIAA intent" signed the MEAC institutions. "We're trying to exchange ideas'?, said President Howell. "Honoring the 'letter of intent' to play at an institution is spelled out in both conferences' bylaws", he said, "but in the past some coaches just ignored this fact". After a meeting and social on Friday night, the grid coaches held a breakfast Saturday morning along with a final meeting during which DeWayne Jeter of Virginia State was elected secretary of the group and Tillman Sease of Howard University was chosen treasurer. Eddie McGirt, Johnson C. Smith coach, will serve as president of the Constitution Committee while Elizabeth City's Tom Caldwell will chair the Program Committee. The Eastern Seaboard Coaches Association is open to membership from football coaches in the seven team MEAC and the 12 team CIAA. Coaches from Cheney State College and .Federal. City College also hold membership. Willie Smith has hadL$ ; recruit a" football team, rind a home for his family and get moved all at the same time, but he says he's had pV lecruiting year anyhow. Smith was named in February to succeed George Quint as the head football coach at North Carolina Central University. He got a late start recruiting and he just got his family moved to town last Monday. But "I am very well pleased with our recruiting progress", said Smith, formerly the head coach at Maryland-Eastern Shore. "We did get a late start, but we think our signees are good. We're pretty proud of them and their credentials". Central has signed what Smith termed "very, very key prospect from Pittsboro' . They are Archie Cross, a 6-3, 245-pound tackle and Steve Alston a running back, who stands six feet and weighs 175 "We have made good inroads and hope to sign three boys Trom Durham High", Smith said. The Durham prospects are Bobby Miller, David Johnson and Anthony Price. "We have had the good fortune to sign three quarterbacks, although two of them can play other positions", said Smith. Central signed two players from the Baltimore area, Ricky Moore and Charles Armwood. Coming from Virginia is Tommy Mills, another quarterback. "Both Moore and Armwood are about 6-2 and weigh around 190 pounds". Armwood led Northwestern High to the Maryland State Athletic Association championship last season, beating Moore's Dunbar High team In the finals. Mills is from Hampton, V'a., and is the smallest of the three quarterbacks signed. He's small, but a good option specialist. He has speed and quickness. "We felt it to our advantage to sign these three young men because they are outstanding athletes". Morjre also lettered in track and basketball. He was a receiver and a running back as a prepster in addition to being a quarterback. "He has the size and strength to be a defensive back", Smith said. Mills also may play some defense with the Eagles. ; While the task of recruiting JH BSE : ' v' BSSa WILLIE SMITH has been under way, Smith has been chatting with his staff and getting acquainted with them. Two new members will join the NCCU football staff. "Bill Thomas of Tennessee State will join us", said Smith. "He will work with the linebackers". Thomas is 27. Harry "Choker" Edmonds, who resigned as Central's basketball coach last season, is the other new member of the football staff. Edmonds will work with defensive backs. Stonewall Jackson will handle the offensive line, and Ted Manly will work with the offensive back. TO ENHANCE his recruiting opportunities, Smith plans to attend a couple of prep all-star games over the summer. "We're especially in terested in interior iineman. We would like to land about three linemen this year, he said. Smith said his aim in recruiting was to stay within the state. "We may get two or three players out of state, but I plan to roam every nook, crook and corner to find the good athlete in the state". He has talked with the returning players and is "very impressed with their enthusiasm. They have the desire to do the things that are necessary to have an outstanding season. They are my kind of people. Thiry have a certain kind of leadership about them, and they have addressed themselves to the football program well". Smith said the Eagles would use the wishbone as the basic attack, "but we'll make some adjustments and provisions": tlmero To Stage July 4th Charity Ail-Star Game Baseball and Jury 4th are two great American tiiJtftoatt and what better time e)eff : there be for the GreeoshOSw "Old Tuners Baseball Club" to hold a charity game in the Gate City. That's right, the "Old Timers" will meet the Brown-Summit All-Stars on Independence Day at the Greensboro War Memorial Stadium to benefit the Black Child Development Institute in Washington, D. C. , "Old Timers" club manager Jerry Jarvis hopes the game will enliven the Gate City's baseball fever and simultaneously provide financial assistance for two worthy organizations. BCDI-SP works in five southern states including North Carolina. The major thrust of the group is to help community people, child care center operators, parents and teachers to organize into state federations which they believe can become viable advocacy groups for improving the quality of education for young Black children. The "Old Timers" are composed primarily of a bevy of local baseballers, some formerly in the minor leagues, who love the sport.
