The Wingham Advance-Times, 1975-05-15, Page 25ON THE BUTTON --Button, button, who's got the button? The personalized notepaper you've made, that's who! • CHILD'S PLAY\ Button people brighten notes By BUROKER • & HUNTSINGER Stores display such amaz- ing varieties of notepaper styles and colors, it becomes quite. a job selecting just the right kind to express one's particular mood or per- sonality. Stationery comes in an al- most lmost equal variety of price ranges as well. Inexpensive notepaper can be day and casual. There is also the for- mal, impressive type which can be costly enough to look like linen or parchment. But , any plain standard sheet of typing paper can be transformedinto attractive notepaper, the sort of cre- ation liat proves ideal for writing lhankyou messages or thinking -of -you greetings. Other than a few bits of colorful .cloth scraps, white glue and: felt pens, no other Material is needed once you raid the family button bol. The first step is 'to fold an ordinary piece of letterhead in half, then fold it again. You may cut the last fold to make two little letters, or use the extra thickness. so the fin- ished notepaper will resem- ble conventional stationery. Naw, hunt through that but- ton box:- Every family seems to collect odd ones, buttons too. few for most garments but too pretty or unusual to be thrown away. Find ones with only two holes. These promptly become two eyes once the button is glued onto the paper. Place a penned dot below to represent .a mouth, and a picture is started. The three samples in the accompanying illustration show what a few more pen lines can create: a clown's ruffled collar, an old man's side Whiskers, the neckline of a lady's fancy gown. Cut scrape into shapes suit- able for these miniature por- traits. A triangle cone, a stovepipe hat, or a feathered bonnet — all can be quickly made. In no time at all, little cartoon characters will brighten up the front of a cor- respondence note. Aside from decorating sta- tionery, these funny little but- ton people can even aid your writing skill. It'seasier to say to a distant cousin or aunt, for instance, "I hope this happy clown will tell you how much I am enjoying the presentyou sent me." These characters can speak for themselves as well as convey your thoughts or wishes. 4.

Will my daughter have psychiatric problems if she gets an abortion? A. This question is argued both ways. Probably the best answer depends upon knowl- edge of the individual, how and why she became preg- nant. There is a lot of varia- tion in emotional stability. *It is important that she be coun- seled, really counseled, so that she is sure of what she wants to do.

YOU CAN FIX -IT By Gene Von SANitINA An inexpensive hand sander helps you to get the most out of the abrasive paper you are using. It is so designed as to relieve your fingers of that tiring job of holding the paper fn place, and it fits comfortably in the palm. simply to decide where and how an abortion' is to be done and how niuch it will cost. A certain number of women have psychiatric problems af- ter normal, full-term deliver-' ies. It is thought that many of aktiese have had problems be- fore their pregnancies began. It is conceivable that similar complications will occur with induced abortions. " An investigation of groups of women after early abor- tions, after late abortions, and after normal deliveries, found very little difference between the groups. We have seen a few young women who have seemed de- pressed for several months after their abortions, but were unable to decide just why. Was it loss of the pregnancy, loss of the boyfriend, failure of the contraceptive? Many have accepted their abortions as a nuisance to get through. Some older women leak; back on their 'abortions as cause of many later disabilities. But, all these cases are comparatively few in number and -hard to fit into statistical tables. There are marked 'changes in people's attitudes about abortions and your daughter may not think as you do. If she considers it careful- ly beforehand and comes to a firm decision, she probably will have no psychiatric pr2b- lems whichever way she de- cides.- Q. What effect does heroin have on women's menstrual periods 'and the chance to get pregnant? A: Reports about female peroin addicts state that be- tween 75 per cent and 90 per cent of the women who had regular menstrual periods be- fore taking heroin, became ir- regular, or stopped menstru- ating all together while ad- dicted. About half of them be- came regular again when they went off the drug. When pregnancies occurred, the drug intake had been de- creased. Men suffer from im- potence and decreased libido. There are similar effects with methadone, taken as a substitute for heroin. About half these women had loss of menstrual periods. However, many of these menses re- turned after some, months on the drug. The effects of both heroin and methadone on menstrual periods are effects on the hypothalamic gland in the brain, a very sensitive regulator of women's func- tions. Q. I haven't been able to feel my IUD string for sever- al weeks. How can I be sure it is still there? A. Visit your doctor, or clinic, and get an examina- tion. Sometimes the string is up in the vaginal vault behind the cervix and a woman does not reach it; sometimes, if it was short originally, it curls up in the cervical canal; sometimes it comes off. You want to be sure you are not pregnant (as the uterus enlarges, the string is pulled up out of feel and sight) and you want to be sure the IUD has not been expelled — per- haps during a menstrual pe- riod — or has moved out of the uterus into the abdomen. The doctor will examine and test for pregnancy and, if �ss©ry, take X-rays to de - its presence and po- sition, The planting season. , just around the corner, ,acid you (ore probably already. dreaming of salad greens fresh from the gar- den.
