Dear Consumer
Children's Clothes:
Coping With Growth
By Virginia Knauer . -
Special Assistant to the President
and Director
Office of Consumer Affairs
How our youngsters grow.
You may not have noticed their growth during
summer, but you find out when it's time to get them
ready for school and the fall and winter seasons.
Since all families struggle with this problem,
sharing solutions can be helpful
One mother I know puts ized (only lr shrinkage) or
mrt k.
w
PRE6NANCY PLA1WWB
HEALTH j
Mn firftfia RlMSttM I
away a small sum every week
during summer. By fall' she
has a nest egg for the shoes,
socks, shirts, jackets her four
boys need.
Another tells me that her
daughters' dress-up outfits
are always bought at a local
thrift shop. Run by volun
teers for the benefit of a com
munity charity, the shop
buys and then resells only
those used garments that are
in excellent condition. Since
youngsters almost always
outgrow their Sunday-go-to-meeting
clothes faster than
they outwear them, thrift
shops are good places to buy
children's clothing. (And by
selling the outgrown clothes
to the thrift shop, you have
extra money for newer
clothes.)
Here are other tips on
getting the most for your
money when you shop for
children's clothing.
Take time to comparison
shop. Look in different kinds
of stores: discount stores,
small neighborhood shops,
mail order companies and de
partment stores. Compare
prices, brands and quality.
Keep in mind how long you
expect the clothes to be
worn one season? two? or
more?
Look for sturdy construc
tion. Are seams straight, un
puckered, strong and wide
enough to avoid fraying ? Are
pockets reinforced? Do zip
pers work i smoothly ? Are
buttons sewn securely?
o Uead care labels and fab
ric content labels. If fabric is
not washable, add expected
dry cleaning costs to the price
of the garment.
If fabric is not Sanfor-
pre-Shrunk (only 3'ii ), gar
ment may shrink out of size.
If ironing is required, re
member that your own time
is worth money.
o When buying sleepwear
for small children (sizes 0 to
6x), be sure to buy garments
made of flame-retardant fab
rics, With rainwear, realize
that "water repellent" fabrics
only shed water. Usually,
only rubberized or plastic
coated garments are water
proof. Girls' fashion boots, in
cidentally, are seldom water
proof. For foul-weather gear,
look for labels that say
"waterproof."
Don't guess at sizes
they vary from brand to
brand. Have your child try on
each item before you buy it.
This is a must, of course, with
shoes both feet, since each
of us usually has one larger
foot.
Look for clothes that will
grow with the child. Stretch
fabrics are a boon. So are
garments for toddlers and
small children that are made
with special "grow" features,
such as extra sets of snaps
and hidden hems that you
can let down by pulling a
single thread.
There are several Fed
eral government booklets that
may be of interest to you:
Clothing and Fabric Care
Labeling (free), Clothing Re
pairs (25 cents), Fibers and
Fabrics (65 cents), Look for
That Label (free) and Re

Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
My husband and I were
married two years ago and now
I am five months pregnant with
our first child. We planned this
baby and I am excited about it
and everything, but I am also a
little bit. scared of actually
having it. The closer I get to
the ninth month, the more I
worry, What should I do?
Mrs.E.
Dear Mrs. E.:
A certain amount of fear is
normal and to be expected.
But you shouldn't keep those
fears to yourself. Talk them
over with your husband and
with your doctor. Your doctor
will be able to rid you of most
of your fears and give you
confidence if he knows exactly
what is bothering you about
childbirth.
ft might also help you a
great deal to attend classes for
couples who are going to have
their first baby. Ask you
doctor whether these classes
are being given at the hospital
where you will deliver.
The classes will give you a
chance to learn exactly what
will happen in lafeer ssLMffif
iyou will know what to expect.
IOU Will oe amc; w ;m.
questions and clear up your
doubts and fears. Then yop
will be able to look forward to
the happy event with
Excitement and anticipation.
Dear Gloria:
My husband uses condoms
to keep our family the right
size for us. Every so often he
skips and I get worried, but
since he uses them most of the
time I don't say anything.
Except for this I seldom have a
worry. My husband is a
wonderful man and we have
two lovelv children. Do you
think I should insist that he
uses something EVERY time
we have sex?
Mrs. F.
Dear Mrs. F:
It you and your husband
don't want another child
anytime soon, you should use
birth contcol EVERY TIME
you have sexual relations.
Studies have shown that it is
not just couples who do not
ever use birth control who have
unplanned and unexpected
babies. In many cases,
unwanted pregnancies occur to
couples who know something
about birth control and who
usually use some method of
contraception. The trouble is
that these couples "don't use
birth control EVERY time.
And as marry people could tell
you, you only have to be
careless or forgetful one time!
So, if you don't want to get
pregnant, use the method of
Sat., Sept. 15, lf7S THE CAROUNA
birth control you prefer, aad
use it every tune. If yea think
your husband doesn't
particularly like to use
condoms, you might want to
consider consulting a doctor
about taking bath control pills
or having an IUD inserted.
If you and your husband are
sure you do not want any more
children, I suggest you talk to
your doctor about a permanent
method of birth control-a
vasectomy for your husband or
a tubal ligation (tying your
tubes). I am sending you a free
booklet which describes these
permanent methods of birth
control.
Dear Gloria:
Is an IUD, such as the loop
of the shield, able to prevent
mmm
or do you have to aat
another method of IN
control for a while after tftfclt
tfMhiff 1 forgot to a the
doctor this. " Mrs, L
!-ar Mrs. L.
The IUD effective at soon
as it has been inserted by the
doctor. There is no need to use
any other method of birth
control. However, in cases
where there is a Bttie cramping
at first, the doctor may suggest
that you wait a few days
before having sex relations.
Address letters and requests for
a free booklet on birth control
to: Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee, 123

Hill, North Carolina 27514.
Says Comprehensive Health Care
Approach Appears Best
ATLANTA - A report
released recently by the
Southern Regional Council
:uments the widely held
inif matff HeafUti
professionals that the
comprehensive health care
approach is "the only
meaningful way toward
improving the health status of
the poor."
Authored by SRC staffers
Robert E. Anderson Jr. and
Susan Morgan, the 36-page
report describes some of the
special health needs of the
poor, surveys the kinds of
services available at
comprehensive health centers
and briefly examines some
health delivery alternatives.
Comprehensive health care,
administered by the federal
government through the Office
of Economic Opportunity
(OEO) and the Office of
Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW), treats a patient and his
health needs in a total manner,
not separating medical needs
from social and environmental
factors.
Comprehensive health
encompasses a host of vital
services including in addition
to primary medical and clinical
care such services as
improvement of environmental
conditions, mental health
counseling, free medicines and
eyeglasses. Care is implemented
through the team approach in
which the patient has access to
a wide range of medical and
health service specialists under
one roof.
In rural areas, the centers--which
number seventeen
presently in operation
throughout the South- have
been instrumental in improving
environmental conditions, such
as impure water and other
sanitation related health
hazards. Rural residents, for
instance, often develop
dysentery through drinking
impure water. The centers both
treat the patient and work for
the Improvement of the water
supply which produced his
illness.
The report also focuses on
urban areas, where lead paint
poisoning in ghetto housing,
continues to mens nee young
children who eat paint stripped
from windowsllls and walls.
The report points out that
the South still lags far behind
the nation in health care. In no
Southern state is the physician
to population ratio equal to
th national average. For
examole. there are 47 counties
in the eleven Southern states
which do not have a single
Twenty-three of these counties
are in Texas, 11 in ueorgia,
four in Florida, two In Virginia
and Tennessee, and one each in
Mississippi and Alabama, fi
In 1967 in JacksonHinds
County, Miss, when a
comprehensive center there
submitted its equal proposal to
OEO, the physician to patient
ratio for the part of the county
outside the city limits was 20
per 100,000 compared to 86
per 100,000 in Mississippi as a
whole and 142.6 per 100,000
for the nation.
Added to the low ratio of
physicians to patients in the
South, is the fact (based on
HEW figures) that the poor
suffer chronically disabling
illnesses at a rate more than
three times that of persons
with family incomes of $7,000
or more. In other words, the
more a person is likely to need
a physician, the less likely his is
to see one.
The report notes that
location of the centers has
been based on several needs,
poverty of the target
population, unavailability of
other forms of health care, and
other health status indices.
"In Miami where an
HEW-funded center is located
in the Model Cities area, the
median age of death in the
target area is 60 compared with
the Dade County median of
70," the report states.
The report also illustrates
some of the impact me
comprehensive centers have
had on the health problems ot
the regions they serve.
In Lowndes County, Ala.,
until recently the site of a
comprehensive health center,
infant mortality rates declined
from 46.9 per 1,000 live births
in 1967 (the year the center
opened) to 28.3 in 1971. The
Council report contrasts these
figures to those in neighboring
counties which showed little
change over the same period
and in some instances actually
showed slight increases.
Medicaid, which was
designed to help provide
medical care for the poor
remains an unfulfilled promise,
according to the SRC report.
To be eligible for Medicaid id
all but two of the Southern
states one must be receiving
nubile assistance. In no
Southern states are more than
30 per cent of families below
the poverty level actually
receiving public assistance,
SRC points out.
Medicaid services mandated
by the law are not always
completely implemented

It'; attention to detail that's thft mark of craftsmanship.
Littlethings. Like the way nails are angled, the way boards
are joined things that, ignored, can turn a beautifully built
home into a beautifully built headache.
Today, too often the details are ignorecL,?w . Jjjjf,.
That's why, at Ervin, we do the best we qekep crafts
manship alive and well. We continually trf tfe)ve our
already high standards making refinementifjggicjn, spec
ifications, and perfecting new construction methods.
Our system of checks and approvals carry all the way through
to the moment you open your door. And if there's ever a prob
lem, we have a warranty program ready to correct it.
Whether building homes, apartments or condominiums,
we know that if the little things aren't right, the big things won't
be right either.
So though the Ervin Company offers one of the widest
selections in the Southeast, no matter what price, style and
location matches the way you live, you'll always know the way
we put it together.
The right way. A nai! at a time.
