It is very important to have a good rapport to let your doctor know whatare your wishes and expectations. This was an !Important theme in the discussion at a Women Today workshop on "Birth- ing: Options and Opportuni- ties in Huron County" 'last week. Approximately 35 at- tended. Public pressure has resulted in many changes to city hospitals. These changes have been slower in local hospitals, but this does not mean our local hospitals are not receptive. Women Today has sent a question- naire to the 11 hospitals in and around Huron County asking about their policies and procedures in obstetric care. So far, five hospitals have responded either by filling out the questionnaire or meeting with a committee member. Kathi Wilson, workshop leader, explained the child- birth reform movement began more than 10 years ago. The first requests were to have fathers present at the births, to have a choice of medicated or unmedicated births and to do away with strapping a woman down and putting her in stirrups. This has been achieved at nearly all hospitals. Now the issues have become more complex. Women are questioning the routine use of internal fetal monitors the rising Caesarean rate, automatic episiotomies and the in- creasing use of syntocinon (a synthetic hormone) to start or speed up labor. Ms. Wilson explained that most larger centres no longer give women enemas or prep. The reason for prepping always was to prevent infection, she explained, but studies have found that shaving often increases the incidence of infection. Any woman applying deoderant after shaving her ay O � on arms knows the sting of many tiny nicks in her skin. These nicks from shaving can be an entrance for in- fection, hence a higher risk is evident from this practice. Although this has . been known for some years, 60 per cent of the hospitals in Canada still use this prac- tice. • Ms. Wilson recommended several books: The Silent Knife by Nancy Wainer - Cowan and Lois Eptner; olds a 11 irth Changing Childbirth, Family Birth in the Hospital by Diony Young; and, The Rights of the Pregnant Parent by Valmai Howe - Elkins. The Women Today group hopes to purchase some of these to add to its lending library for mem- bers. The birthing com- mittee will be continuing to meet. Anyone interested should write Women Today, RR 1, Belgrave. The group has two up- coming, workshops. A panel discussion on child abuse will be held April 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Vanastra Recreation Centre, Clinton and May 16 at 7:30 p.m., a discussion on wife battering will be held at McKay Hall, Goderieh.

'Beta Photo Join church "How to Make a Non -per- son". "I've shown it, not to be critical, but to help 'rede- velop an awareness," said Mrs. Bernie. The Ministry of Health consultant said there is one word she would like to see - out of the English language and that is senility. "It is important to recog- nize that under stress we all do strange things," said Mrs. Bernie. She listed a number of ab- sent-minded things she has done, but said because of her age she is not considered se- nile. Communication is also im- portant, said Mrs. Baillie. She pointed out if a person is on the receiving end of in- structions with no opportun- ity to clarify what is being said, there could be con- fusion. She put the audience to the test by giving 10 oral instruc- tions without supplying the opportunity to ask questions. Most of the audience did poorly. Mrs. Baillie then present- ed the situation where a nurse quickly tells an elder- ly, hard -of -hearing patient to put her sweater on and leaves before the patient understands what is being said. "What frequently happens is the nurse comes back and finds the patient wandering. Then the judgment is made that something is wrong. I suggest that something is wrong with the communica- tion." The board of directors for the Homemakers was named as follows: Marie Bolton, Gerry Bornath, Bev Brown, Elaine Gottschall, Lois Hod- gert, Jane LeVan, Ruth Linton, Betty McGregor, Irene Okahashi, Loretta Siegner, Alun Thomas, Thea Trick, Terri 'Frites, Helen Underwood and Paul Steckle.
