1 believe you sometimes
advise parents about MX
education for their children. I
haw always answered my
daughter's questions frankly
and thought I had a good, dose
relationship with bet.
But just the other day I
found her in her room reading
a trashy paperback book. Just
glancing through it I saw words
pertaining to sex that were
straight out of the gutter! Iam
so shocked and hurt that she
would read this kind of filth.
She is only 13. What did I do
wrong?
; Mr&P.C.
Dear Mis. P.C.:
Please try not to be upset
over the book you found. It is
natural for adolescents to be
curious about this type of
reading material, no matter
how well educated or how
dose to their parents they may
be. Kids hear others talk about
a book and feel they must read
it too, because they think they
may learn something about sex
they don't already know, or
simply because it is the "in"
thing to do.
Perhaps one reason you are
worried is because your
daughter is so young. It is
difficult for those of us who
are. parents today to realize
that children become
sophisticated at a much earlier
age than we did, because of the
movies, television and
magazines to which they have
been exposed all their lives.
Therefore, even though we
may feel that the child is too
young to know about sex, it is
important to
questions as honestly as
possible when they are asked.
Many parents might find
answering their children's
questions easier if they read
Dr. David Reuben's book
"Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About Sex"
first. It's a frank and open
discussion which might help
parents to be "frank and

Console yourself, Mrs. P.C
with the knowledge that you
have done the beat and trust
that your daughter will paas
safely through this phase, at
the majority of children do.
Dear Gloria;
I am six months pregnant
and the doctor at the clinic
ays that I am O.K. but I am
worried about something and
can't help it. Lately I have
been having nightmares about
monsters. They are terrible and
I wake up scared to death. My
mother and I are both afraid
this is a sign that I will have a
deformed baby, What do you
think? I don't want to bother
the doctor with a question like
this. He might think I am
crazy.
MraT.U.
Dear Mrs. U:
First of all, you must not
worry that a doctor would
think you are crazy for asking
a question like this. Doctors
are use to questions of all sorts
and they wdcome a chance to
calm a patient's fears by
answering them.
Now, about your fear of
having a deformed baby. The
odds are overwhelmingly
against this happening. In
almost every case of a
pregnancy where there is a
defeat in the fertilized egg,
nature causes this imperfect
egg to be expelled from the
womb-- in other Words, a
miscarriage takes place. Such a
miscarriage occurs within the
first few months of pregnancy.
So the very fad that you have
carried this baby. six months
with no problem is a pretty
answer their twmmm
honestly

In spite of many old wives'
tales, dreams cannot "mark"
your baby. Relax. Think about
something else. And don't
watch any "horror" movies!

Puppies On The Way?
So, it happened. Tour dear
dog's first litter is on the way.
Well, believe me, it will bring
happiness to your house. You'll
see how much so when her
nine weeks are up and she
beams up at you with the
arrival of the newest members
of the family.
Between now and then, how
ever, there are some important
things to do. Assuming that
you are a novice about this,
here are a few basic tips:
Don't fret; relax. It's been
a perfectly natural function
for centuries.
Read a good book on the
subject.
Keep her in top physical
condition, especially avoiding
overweight.
Take advantage of your
veterinarian's basic care and
guidance program. Start today.
During the first four to five
weeks of pregnancy, she re
quires no more than .normal
good care and unrestricted ex
ercise. After that, her daily ex
ercise should be under control;
avoid, jumping and rough play.
herding
Throughout pregnancy and
nursing, pay attention to her
diet. She needs a high quality
food well balanced with- all
the essential nutrients, vita
mins and minerals such as
ALPO provides to properly
nourish herself and the de
veloping puppies.
Authorities recommend ' a
high quality protein. Meat,
rather than the filling starches,
provides protein of higher nu
tritive quality plus a high con
tent of dietary-essential amino
acids. Further, the Daggs ev
perlment (Howell's Dog Care
& Training) found that milk
production in the mother dog
was influenced by different
kinds of protein fed to her.
Daggs concluded that rela
tively high protein diets stim
ulate lactation and that animal
proteins (especially liver) are
better suited than plant pro
teins to the synthesis of milk.

quantity into two meals a day
to avoid the discomfort of
large meats.

How To Stretch Your Car's Gas Mileage
The nationwide energy crista is upon
us, and it's testing the Ingenuity of car
owners. In one sense, it's even creating
a little nostalgia. Not since the World
War 11 days of gas rationing have mo
torists focused so heavily on stretching
gas mileage.
Those who drive high-horsepower gas-
guzzlers are feeling the greatest pinch
as some service stations have curtailed
their operating hours and others have
put a 10 gallon limit on gas purchases.
But engineers at the Wix Corporation
Technical Laboratory in Gastonia, N. C,
say there are some basic steps every
motorist can take to improve his gas
mileage and, in the bargain, make his
car run smoother.
First, they say, car owners should
change the air filter on their car every
10,000 miles or with every engine tune-
up, whichever occurs, soonest, wix en
gineers point out that a Clogged air filter
can decrease a car's mileage per gallon
by as much as one-third.
They also suggest that motorists
avoid running their car with toss than
half a tank of gas. Oil refineries, in com
mon with their customers, are scraping
the bottom of their tanks these days ,
and that sometimes results in pumping
contaminants into the gas line. This
kind Of thing normally wouldn't occur
but as fuel levels drop to unprecedented
lows, rust, dirt and other contaminants
sometimes get into gas lines and event
ually into your oar.
Your car's gas tank also can -produce
rust, catch dirt and trap water as it
grows older, and this is another reason
to avoid running the tank below the
half-full level. Modern automobile gas
filters are workhorses when it comes to
removing contaminants from the gas
line before, they get into the engine
itself, but the increased flow of contam
inants tends to plug filters more quickly
and shorten their lives.
Unfortunately, there are no warning
signals for this kind of fitter failure.
When the filter gets completely clogged,
it simply shuts off the gas flow. In re
cent laboratory testa on filters made by
Wix and other major manufacturers,
Wix engineers found some that became
clogged after less than 100 miles of us
age with commercial gasoline.
The best protection against finding
yourself stranded as a result of an un
timely gas filter failure, engineers say,
is to carry a spare in the glove compart
ment of your car. This is especially im
portant if you don't have a standard
car. Service stations and repair garages
dont always hive the right filter in
stock for your car, so it's much safer
to have your own on hand in case of
need.
Your car's oil filter has no direct in
fluence on gas mileage, but engineers
stress that keeping your cart engine
clean is the most important single as
pect of good oar care,
Crankcase buildup will reduce engine
efficiency and increase consumption of
oil and gas, the engineers Point out, so
dirty oil filters can exert a strong indir
ect influence on gas mileage; The oil
filter should be changed every 4,000 to
6,000 miles or every time the crankcase
is drained and refilled with new oil.
A complete change-out of the three
basic filters air, fuel and oil on
the modern passenger car amounts to
only about $10, so regular filter changes
can more than pay for themselves in im
proved gas mileage and smoother en
gine operation. - .

way we have of expressing ourselves.
That's one b( the reasons the. National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It's simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people.
That's the National Black Network-a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere. .
It 's a bet that when you listen to an NBN

. Adult education officials at
nine community colleges with
education programs for
inmates of correctional
institutions agree that
cooperation between
community colleges and
correctional institutions
produces good results.
They also agree that lack of
coordination has damaged and
even stopped some programs.
'Those are among the
conclusions of a report by
Larry Bumett Wilson, a North
. Carolina Central University
political science major. The
report was done by Wilson
whtlo Ka whs an intorn with the
IT .1 1 Ill ...... . , . - j i . ...... '
Institute of Government in
Chapel Hill this summer. He
made his studies for the N.C.
Department of Community
Colleges;
The nine, community
colleges studies by Wilson
include Caldwell Community
.College and Technical
Institute, The College of 'the
Albemarle, Guilford Technical
Institute, Halifax County
Technical Institute, Isothermal
Community College, Johnson
Technical Institute, Martin
Technical Institute, Roanoke
Chowan Technical Institute
and Rockingham Community
College. .'!-,;
Their programs range from
on-site programs at youth
centers to enrollment of
inmates . on study release in
regular classes with other
.students. Caldwell Community
College serves four correctional
units, in Caldwell, Catawba,
Alexander, and Burke
Counties, and offers
educational and vocational
programs.
Other . schools serve one or
two. correctional units. Some ,
Offer only educational
programs.
Comments by the
community college,
administrators indicate that
tack of coordination, is a major
problem. They cite."red tope,"
the inability to arrange,
-adequate transportation to the
colleges, and the inability to
both inmates nd . schools W v
instaices jr the coordination
problem, ;. '
Wilson focused primarily on
! unanimous conclusions by the
M mn 1st rato rs. These occurred
ufnr 26 ttenw In a
quet.rbniiaire he prepared.
) Thi niittistratrs of the
community college agreed,
Wilson reported: (JT':
-l-That ?Slri pgrams and
projects betMieeh community
colleges and teehnicsl institutes
and correction subsidiaries
have been good in promoting
public relations with the
inmate population.
That all staff instructors
participating in correctional
education are professionals in
the field of adult instructional
techniques.
that there are no inmate
enrollment quota systems in
policy or practice and that
three should not be any such
quotas.
That off-site rather than
on-site settings (the site
referred to is the correctional
unit) are preferred for
education programs.
That women should be
equally employed as
instructors.
. That inmates respond better
to written academic material
than to programmed material.
That In Adult Basic
Education texts used, the
predominant age group of
characters shown in
illustrations should be adults.
(Wilson says inmates are
discouraged when they are
i ' taught with the same children's
materials which produced
,fall ur.es when they were
children.)
That community colleges
aire independently providing
Inmates with materials and
' supplies for classes under their
supervision. (Community
college' budgets and federal
grants support these programs,
Wilson notes.)
