The officers for 1973 and 1974 were elected PREGNANCY PLANNING AND HEALTH by Mrs. Gloria Riggab ee Dear Gloria: I had a baby when I was sixteen, but now I am eigh teen. The question is can a girl get pregnant by dreaming she is having sex with the boy she loves. I don't 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 se xual intercourse ~ nothing else. It only takes ONE inter course to cause a baby to start to grow inside you. It doesn't matter that you don't have se -ery often. ONCE IS ENOUGH TO GET PREG NANT. If you don't want to get pregnant, you have two choi ces: (1) DON't have a sexual relations until you're ready to get pregnant again, or (2) use a proper method method of birth control EVERY TIME you have sex. The best me thods 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 ment 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 di rections carefully and use it EVERY TIME you have sex. Also, ask your boyfriend to use condoms (rubbers) EV ERY TIME you have sex. If you use foam and your boy friend uses condoms (rubbers), WSMEN on Wheels Plymouth's Liz Stimley In the Driver's Seat Drunken Driving You could be dead wrong if you think you know how many drinks you can have and still drive. A person's tolerance to alcohol varies day to day. Hunger, tiredness and other factors change the body's reaction. Drunken driving in Amer ica is the largest single cause of auto fatality. In 1971, these accidents amounted to more f deaths than the number of men killed and wounded in Vietnam. Congress allotted SG6 million re cently toward solving this problem. State and Lo cal government agencies have lowered |jermissible Blood Alcohol Content limits and increased penalties for of fenders, but the responsibility for stopping drunken driving remains with each driver. At some police depart ments, pocket sized cards con taining charts to estimate blood alcohol «>ntent per drink by body weight are free to every driver. The cards in dicate how much one may drink safely, and a good rule is to drink less than the card indicates. If vou give a party, moder ate tne drinks to your guests and close your bar at least an hour before they leave. Ex plain to them that you are against reckless drivers, as you pass coffee and sand wiches. Anyone may be a potential drunken driver-including you. at that meeting. They are seat ed left to right—Thelma Hill, President, Mrs. U.V. Allen, Recording Secretary. Standing Mrs. Plassie Harris, Correspon ding Secretary, Mrs. Marion Alston, Treasurer, Miss Julian you will be quite well pro tected from pregnancy. Everyone has a choice about "when" and "if" to have babies IF they use birth control correctly. Children are very special people and they deserve love and time and planning. I suggest you think all of this over very carefully. I 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 bet ter chance in life. *** Dear Mrs. Riggsbee: My girl friend is taking birth control pills and she says she 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. 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 prescribed 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 departments offer birth con trol pills free of charge. Many health departments also offer family planning services to the unmarried. So there is no need to take chances. either with your health or with the law. I suggest you check with your doctor or the local health department or the local family planning clinic. Dear Readers: Please include your name and address on all correspon dence to this column.

J. CLARK, M.D. One of the wonderful thinp about the human body is its ability to resist disease. We see one form of this ability when a person has an illness like rubella, and then deve lops an immunity which pro tects him against getting that disease again. Vaccinations given to children and adults work the same way. What happens with both vaccina tions and the natural form of some diseases is that chemi cal disease fighters called anti bodies are formed which at tack invading germs and pro tect us. Usually this is just what we want to happen. But not always. There are important exceptions and one in parti cular that concerns pregnant women. Red blood cells are sur rounded by a thin coating of chemicals like the skin on a grape. In about 85 per cent of all human beings the cells have this coat (their blood is carrying a baby who has in herited Rh positive blood from its father. People with Rh negative blood cannot tolerate Rh positive cells. Though one family in eight is threatened with a possible Rh problem, luckily the prob lem is met in only about one out of every 200 births. The reason for this is that the mother and infant have sepa rate blood supplies and their blood circulates separately, so their blood rarely mix. Sometimes, however, blood can leak from the baby to the mot ha, or the other way around. When it does, there is trouble. When a mother's Rh nega tive cells meet the baby's Rh The Mysteries of Mexico's Sacred Well MEXICO CITY —For over a thousand years, the Sacred Well at Chichen Itza in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula was shrouded in mystery. The Mayans who built it believed that the "Cenote Sagrado" was the dwelling place of Chac, the god of rain. Legend said that in times of drought, bejewelled maidens were thrown into the well as a sacrifice to the god. This belief persisted through the period of the Spanish Conquest, when Bishop Diego de Landa wrote: "They used to throw living humans as a sacrifice for the gods during the times of drought. They also threw many other things into the well such as precious stones." Almost four hundred years passed and the cloak of mystery about the Sacred i Well thickened. Then in 1904, Edward Thompson, United States' Consul in Merida, capital city of the Yucatan, bought the well, together with Chichen Itza, for $75. During the next three years, Thompson ex plored the well and found jade, copper, gold, clay, bronze, wood and bone objects. Most of the arti facts were Mayan in origin, but many were also from the Zapotec, Mixtec and Aztec cultures, with which the Mayans frequently traded. Thompson took his find ings out of the country and donated them to the Peabody Museum at Harvard Univer sity. Mexican authorities were powerless to stop him, because at that time there was no legislation prohibit ing the removal from Mexico of archeologi cal treasures. Furthermore, the country was in the throes of the first phases of a bloody and cataclysmic revolution. However, after the revo lution was over, the Govern ment. mindful of the need to preserve its unique cultural heritage, created the Nation al Institute of Anthropology and History. The Institute's purpose was twofold -to learn more about Mayan and positive blood, the mother's body produces *ti bodies, her chemical disease fighters, that resist and destroy the baby's cells. In some diseases this reaction is fine and protects the body against viruses and bacteria. But the reaction is automatic and, unfortunate- ly in the case of Rh blood cells, it works no matter how healthy the baby is. If the mother's negative cells mingle with the baby's positive blood, the antibodies develop and the baby's blood is gradually de stroyed. This loss of Mood causes the baby to make new red blood cells faster and they are sent into circulation only partially formed. Until World War II mothers who developed antibodies had little hope of delivering heal thy babies. Today a number of methods enable phyricians to know whether the mother is forming antibodies, bow seriously her baby is affected, whether the baby will have to be delivered early, and whether the baby will need a fresh supply of blood to over come the blood destruction set off by the mother's anti bodies. We will describe these me thods, and other advances which make it possible for many Rh negative mothers to deliver healthy children, in our next column. (Dr. Clark's column is pie pared with the cooperation of The American College of Ob stetricians and Gynecologists. Letters and questions should be sent to: Dr. John F. J. Clark, ACOG, 79 West Mon roe St., Chicago, Illinoii 60603.) other Pre-Columbian cultures and to protect all archeo logical treasures. In cooper ation with the Exploration and Aquatic Sports Club of Mexico and the National Geographic, the Institute sponsored an expedition to Chichen Itza to rescue the rest of the artifacts and to resolve the mystery of the Sacred Well. A team of expert divers explored the depths of the Cenote. They found numer ous Mayan artifacts includ ing wooden benches, statues of jaguars, snake heads and pieces of ceramics. They also found human bones and skulls. However, the re mains were not those of young girls, but of children! Were the children the in nocent victims of cruel sacrificial rites or did they accidentally fall into the well? The mystery will probably never be solved. When divers tried to explore the depths of the well they discovered the ruins of an ancient temple that had fallen in the well many centuries ago. These ruins have prevented scientists and archeologists from ac cumulating further data. And so. the Cenote Sagrado con tinues to guard its secret. 5A
