I've been to several doctors. and the reports are the same: ., "Nothing physically, .----wrong---no reason why you Shouldn't have a baby." Then they ask: "What about your husband? Has he been .checked?:: This is 'the problem. My husband refuses to go to a doctor. Don't you feel a wife has the right to know if her husband is sterile? Why is he so stubborn?

The articlewritten by a. psychologist said a mother' .should not cast herself in the role of "drill sargeant" or "goon -squad leader" by insisting ithat her children hang up their clothes, put things away, etc. "Let' the bike rust. out in the rain," the "expert" said. "See hoW he like's a rusty bike." "Let the dirty blousespi4eTtij in Pie corner. When she wartts clean. , blouse tell her you- re p siafty; there ' aren't arty clean blouses because you didn't see any in.the clothes hamper." The amthor went on to say it was "normal" for kids to be lazy and the way to get them to sharpen up,is to let them learn the hard -way the penalty for disorder. I've worked my head to the 'bone getting my •kids to keep their ,room S clean and their • personal belongings .in good -HEALTH & SAFETY condition -and now I read THIS. If you say the guy is right I'll take the gas pipe. What's the verdict? -San Diego Mother Dear, San: Leave the bike to rust in the rain huh? Sorry, I think it makes more sense to tell the kid tb put his. bike away and if he doesn't move-teli him again in a no-nonsense voice that gets:some action.

"Braces" which realign teeth -riot protect -them against decay. In fact, the device itself can collect food particles around the edges of , its springs and bands. 1f,the mouth isn't kept scrupulously clean throughout --the duration of the treatment, more decay can result from bacteria buildup on the trapped food particles. In orthodontic treatment, the danger areas are not where the braces are, but where the.braces aren't. Poor oral hygiene 'and orthodontic treatment are enemies - they must never be allowed to meet. There " is no point in straightening the teeth if the child will not look after them during the 'treatment and afterward. It is up to the parent more than ever to' see that the child gets proper guidance at 'home to maintain good cleaning habits. Teeth straightening must involve the co=operation of the parents, the child and the dentist. - Canadian Dental Association.
