Pill is misunderstood, can be benefit
Birth control pills are the most
popular world-wide reversible
method of birth control.
Their effectiveness, when used
properly has been proven.
In the past the media has often
focused on possible serious health
risks associated with birth control
pills, but since the introduction of
the pill two decades ago many non
contraceptive benefits have been
documented.
Provide some protection
against:
. ? Benign breast disease
?Ovarian retention cysts
?Iron deficiency anemia
?Pelvic inflammatory disease
?Ectopic pregnancy

?Rheumatoid Arthritis
?Endometrial Cancer

The birth control pills may
Health Hints
lesson the pain and discomfort
often associated with fibrocystic
breast disease.
This is a condition in which the
breast tissue becomes thick and
forms lumps, which are painful.
The benefit may be due to the
fact that the hormones stay consti
tant while on the pill. Normally the
hormones rise and drop during
each menstrual cycle.
Chances of developing an
ovarian cyst may be lessened by us
ing the birth control pifl.
The reason for this benefit is
believed to be due to the fact that
the ovaries are not producing eggs.
While on the pill ovaries are not
working so they are able to rest.
This condition is similar to the rest
ovaries receive during pregancy.
The pill will lessen a women's
chance of having anemia.
The reason for this is that a
woman usually has a lighter
menstrual periond while on the
pill. In fact, her menstruation may
only lasr^i day or two.
PID (Pelvic Inflamatory
Disease) which is inflammation of
the ovary, tube and uterus may be
prevented by using the birth con
trol pills.
PID is very painful and can
cause sterilibilty by blocking the
tubes with scar tissue.
The pills may help prevent PID
in several ways.
1. They cause the mucus to
become thick and form a plug in
the cervix so bacteria cannot get in
side the uterus.
2. Bacteria grows well in the
presence of blood. For the pill user
there is less blood in the uterus.
It is estimated that birth control
pills cause less ectopic pregnancy
because they prevent PID.
An ectopic pregnancy is when
the body implants outside of the
uterus and begins to grow, often in
the tube. This could be very
dangerous, because the tube could
break open and cause bleeding,
other serious complications and
even death.
Rheumatoid Arthritis, en
dometrial cancer and ovarian
cancer may also be prevented to
some degree by using pills, but that
is still under intensive study.

doctor or the Hoke County H.D.

Families can save
with discount buying
By AMcc L. Pettllt
How Extearioa Ageat
Buying the family clothing from
discount stores can mean a savings
of around 20-304b on each item
purchased.
To get the best buys, however,
the apparel item should be needed
to fill in the gaps of a wardrobe or
extend the wardrobe. No matter
how cheap the price tag, if the item
does not make a needed wardrobe
contribution it is not a good buy.
Discount store hopping with
friends acts as a means of enter
tainment as well as finding suitable
clothes. Before you go on your
shopping venture, make sure you
prepare yourself for the trip. Here
is a "to-do" list:
?Make a list of the types of gar
ment^) you need to supplement
your wardrobe. Do this by looking
through your wardrobe. Other
things to consider are the color(s)
and fabrics that are acceptable.
?Give yourself a maximum
allowance to spend. Do not get
carried away with your findings
and overspend. If you exceed your
allowance, you have not ac
complished a savings. Remember
this deficit spending will have to be
made up somewhere else.
?Learn to calculate the approx
imate retail price of an item. This
calculation will help you evaluate
whether your finding is a terrific
buy or not.
?Familiarize yourself with dis
count terms:
Discount Terms
To get the best buy, learn what
the terms mean. The following are
ones which you should review
before going discount shopping.
Discount Merchandise
Overeats, Overstock, Over Runs
- Terms used for surplus goods.
Can also refer to merchandise pro
duced after an original order has
been filled.
Cancellations, Closeouts,
Discontinued - Terms used for
merchandise no longer being pro
duced.
Irregular - Terms used for mer
chandise which has one or more
defects in it. These defects may or
may not affect the garment's ap
perance or usefulness.
Seconds ? Term similar to ir
Front Burner
regulars usually defined u having
more serious defects than ir
regulars.
First Quality - Term which
means no flaws or defects.
Sample (Salesman's, Show
room, Manikin) ? Garments show
ing a manufacturer's line of
clothing to buyers.
Store Categories
Factory Outlet - Places where
the consumer buys directly from
the manufacturer at prices lower
than retail.
Wholesaler's Outlet ? Store
operated by wholesalers who
distribute goods for several
manufacturers.
?Know the particular discount
store policies. In most instances all
sales are final. So before you buy,
make sure the garment is accep
table to you. If you have any reser
vations, don't buy.
?Take the time to evaluate the
construction and fabric quality.
Keep asking yourself what is
wrong with the garment. Learn to
be critical in judging quality.
?Adhere to good fitting
guidelines. A loose fitting is better
than one that is too tight. Always
try on each garment. Just because
two garments are sized the same
and have the same name brand
does not mean the fit will be the
same. Also, if you are buying for
other family members, it is best to
have them along for the fitting
unless you are an astute judge of
sizes. Does the garment pull or feel
uncomfortable? If so, don't buy it.
This may indicate poor construc
tion procedures.
?Judge your appearance in the
garment. Does it enhance the way
you look? If not, don't make the
mistake of buying it. -In essence,
looking good in the garment is the
bottom line in deciding whether to
buy or not to buy the item.
Other Discount Shopping Sugges
tions:
?Call before you go to check on
store hours if you are unfamilar
with the store.
?Know what the discount store
specializes in.
