(News -Record photo) 'r« Now in Huron Billings natural family planning clinic by Elaine Townshend "The Family Planning Branch of the Health Unit should be able to provide family planning for all people," maintains Ruth Linton, a Huron County Public Health Nurse. "Some people can't use certain methods because of moral or physical reasons, but the il1ings natural family planning method can be used by everyone." A Billings clinic is being held at the Health Unit on Shipley Street in Clinton on the first Thursday of each month under the instruction of a qualified teacher, Mrs. Tina Bos of RR 2, Seaforth. The "Billings" or "ovulation" method of natural family planning is based on the observation of body signs and on periodic abstinence from intercourse during the fertile time of the month. All women can learn to interpret the signs correctly. For example, blind women are being taught to recognize the signs by "sensations," and women in undeveloped countries are being taught with the aid of pictures. Ruth and Tina list several other benefits of the Billings method: it requires no drugs ; it can be used at any time during the life cycle, i.e. pregnancy, breast-feeding, menopause, etc.; and it enables all pregnancies to be planned. A . medical husband -and - wife team, Doctors John and Lyn Billings of Melbourne Australia, researched natural family planning (NFP) in the 1950s. Their findings were first released in book form in Australia in 1964, and in the early 1970s, they conducted a series of tours in the United States. A nurse from Mississauga, Francis Asselin, attended one of the training programs in California, and since then, she has given an annual three-day course in Mississauga, that has at- tracted women around the province. Two ladies from Lucan, Anita Giesen and Else Vandenburg, participated in one of Ms. Asselin's progran•is, and now "they teach NFB in London. Tina learned the Billings method from them two years ago, and last year they gave two presentations at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Clinton. This year the Billings Clinic will be able to continue on a regular basis in Clinton, because Tina has become a qualified teacher. Last October, she accompanied Ruth to the extensive in- structional program in Mississauga and came home with the same feeling that most of the women ex- perienced : motivation to teach the method to other women." Tina adds, "All the in- formation cannot be obtained in a visit to a doctor, because it is too time-consuming." At least two hours should be allowed for the initial session, and the number of times the women will have to meet with the teacher again will depend on each individual. Tina hopes both husbands and wives will attend the clinic because "com- munication between the couple is important, and teaching them together en- courages this com- munication." Ruth would like to see more women from Huron County taking the course in Mississauga this fall. "Many of them would become motivated to teach the method to other women and this would mean mor teachers in the county," s� explains. Anyone, wanting more information on the Billings natural family planning method, may contact Ruth Linton or Tina Bos through the Health Unit in Clinton, 482-3416. 1ubson's 1; Tompang TOP PRICES FOR YOUR FURS SELL YOUR FUR PELTS THROUGH OUR MONTREAL AUCTION HOUSE TO A LARGE INTERNATIONAL CLIENTELE For more information call 648-2184 Woolwich Rd.
