Unusual Occupation

Post Staff Writer
"Everyday there's a new
challenge with the many diffe
rent people you meet!" ex
claimed Delois Rickett, 27,
who has an unusual occupa
tion for a woman—she's a
téléphoné installer for the
Charlotte Branch of Southern
Bell.
Two years ago Delois de
cided that she had become
bored with her eight years of
employment as a directory
assistant and various types of
clerks. She desired a change-a
job that presented a chall
enge.
"I'm out doing a job that
requires going up on house
tops, climbing telephone poles
and carrying a ladder," Del
ois explained, and continued,
"I work in rain, hail and
sleet."
The difficulties of her job
don't dampen Delois' spirit.
"It's a hard job at tirst, it
takes a lot of time to develop
mechanical skills. It's hard,
you have to stick with it," but I
love it," beamed Delois.
Is getting along with co
workers difficult for you be
cause you're a woman, I ask
ed.
"There's a fear of not being 1
accepted, it takes time to grow
on each other," replied Del
ois
Ms. Rickett is a native of
Charlotte, single and wishes to
continue as a telephone instal
ler for at least ten more years.

HEW Tightening Its Standards For Funding Sterilizations
ι ivuhii, CiUUMnun, anu wei
(are Secretary Joseph A Cali
fano. Jr.. issued regulations
this week tightening its stand
ards for [uncling sterilizations
and assuring that funds are
provided only when patients
have given their voluntary
and informed consent.
"These regulations are de
signed to respond to the con
cerns of many citizens, by
strictly limiting the use of
federal funds to sterilizations
for individuals who knowingly
and freely consent to them and
prohibiting HEW funding of
coerced and uninformed steri
lizations or of sterilizations
based on hasty decisions,"
Secretary Califano said.
"We will carefully monitor
compliance with these regula
tions," Califano said. "We are
instituting a bilingual educat
ion program lu inane certâfh
they are understood."
1'he regulations, replacing
rules published in 1974, make
the following changes in stan
dards that will govern and
limit federal funding of sterili
zalions uniy sterilizations
that meet these standards can
be funded with HEW funds:
-An HEW-approved consent
form, clearly and simply
spelling out the nature and
consequences of the operation
in a language the patient
understands, must be used It
will require certification by
medical personnel that the
patient has received, both in
writing and orally, an expla
nation of the operation, advice
about alternate forms of birth
control, and assurances that
no federal benefits will be lost
if sterilization is refused.
-The waiting period between
consent and sterilization must
be at least 30 days except
'~ttrca!>B> of prematuie delineij
and emergency abdominal
surgery. Previous regulations
required only a 72-hour wait
ing period. The wait is to allow
for reflection and discussion
with others, thereby reducing
the possibility of hasty, unin
formed decisions.
-To reduce the chances of
sterilizations being chosen un
der duress, a consent may not
be obtained from anyone in
labor of childbirth, under the
influence of alcohol or other
drugs, or seeking or obtaining
an abortion.
•-Interpreters must be provid
ed where there are language
barriers, and special arrange
ments must be made for hand
icapped individuals.
--Federal funding will not be
available for hysterectomies
performed for sterilizations
purposes. Patients undergoing
nysterectomies for ' medical
reasons must be advised oral
ly and in writing that sterility
will result, in order for the
operation to be financed w.ith·
HEW funds.
A distinction between thora
peutic (medically indicated)
and non-therapeutic (family
planning) sterilization is eli
minated and safeguards are
applied uniformly to all fede
rally funded sterilizations.
-Federal funding will not be
available for sterilizations for
individuals institutionalized in
onal facilities, mental
hospitals or other rehabilita
tive facilities.
-The prohibition against using
federal funds to pay for sterili
zations of mentally incompe
tent individuals and thope un
der 21 is continued.
Califano said, "The new
standards will take effect in 90
days. They will apply to all
sterilization procedures paid
for by Medicaid and family
planning programs funded by
I1ËW, as well as to steriliza
tions penormed on facilities
operated by the Public Health
Service and the Indian Health
Service."
HEW-funded sterilizations
account fbr about 10 percent of
all sterilizations performed in
this nation. The Department
paid for some 100,000 steriliza
tions in 1975.
·· · ··
"it is my nope tnat the spirit
of these regulations will be
adopted by all who would
perform or recommend steril
izations that are not paid for
by HEW, so that no person will
be denied the abilitv »n r
ceive or father a cl
she or he is uninformea or .
