CHILD GUIDANCE - Marriage Seldom Success For Student Mother-to-be By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. 'The increasing number of gnancies out of wedlock in h school is a matter of con- cern to all parents and society in eral, This problem is not limited to the slums and seems to be no respecter of social, ed- ucational or economic levels. Sometimes the pregnant girl quits' school and marries, when "there is mutual agreement be- tween her and the expectant father. This may be the easiest solution for the young couple cherished family ideals. Some pregnant girls and their parents, facing reality and per- sonal responsibility, choose to bring up the child in the home of grandparents or another rel- ative or friend and to live down the social stigma in the home neighborhood, or even in a com- munity far from it. In some cases, the relative adopts the child, making his fu- ture status easier. Sad is the plight of the illegitimate child and their families, But mar- riage under these conditions rarely turns out well. Then, there is the pregnant girl who does not always know who the father 'is. There seems to be a growing practice whereby the newborn baby is placed t h a social agency for early adoption. This practice guarantees the child a home with two parents. It less- ens the social stigma to the child's unwed mother and the maternal grandparents. TAKES ITS TOLL But such an "'easy" solution takes its toll. The young mother may have regrets about giving up her child. And she and the unwed father may be seriously affected by this departure from who goes through life with his mother's maiden name. Perhaps the most tragic and|wouldn't solve the problem of physically hazardous attempt at Jsolving the problem of the un- |wed mother-to-be is through \abortion. FACED WITH DILEMMA As we try to evaluate the problem of pregnancy out of wedlock, we are faced with a dilemma, After "the damage has been done," we want to be humane toward the girl and her child, We also wish to support tf cherished ideals of family ife. : We are gratified when the girl, after seeing her baby taken away from her by adop- tion and returning to school and to her old friends, is accepted Yet we must keep asking, "What effect has all this on the other students and neighbor- hood youths who have not ven- tured into such sex liberties? Hardly can we cease to be humane toward the erring girl and her child and we abhor the very thought of parents disown- ing their daughter who is preg- nant out of wedlock, as a few parents do, CONTACT AGENCY Pregnant girls treated this way should get in touch with a welfare agency or directly with the Salvation Army which has a good program for these un- fortunate girls, whether they have any money or not. Some may suppose that as high school youths get more worldly-wise on birth control, pregnancies might decline. Such is possible, but that principle, or keep down the in- cidence Of venereal disease, now rapidly on the rise among our youth. The big challenge is to pa- rents with babes in arms to strive to bring up these children with reasonable restraint tem- pered with love and under- standing. The prevalence of excessive permissiveness in child-rearing hardly is favorable as an effec- tive weapon against high school pregnancies.

GIFT BOXED FREE WAY THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, June 11,1964 |] Ruffles, Flounces Need Extra Care To Stay Fluffy By ELEANOR ROSS The newest look in loung wear is the airy flounce, th wide ruffle, the graceful cape- let that goes over nightgowns or pajamas, Fabrics float in such a man- ner as to create real news in silhouettes, This means that in order to retain their subtle "shapes," this season's house- coats, gowns, robes and cu- lottes, must depend on frequent laundering, proper drying, and in some instances, skillful hand "pressing." Limp, wrinkled fabrics promptly lose their winged prettiness, And certainly not the slightest touch of dirt is to be tolerated on these delicate fash- ions--most often found in the current color favorite, white. Among the newest fabrics is Dacron - cotton dotted Swiss, which lends itself well to self- ruffling from neck to hem. Like the more familiar nylon tricots, it is washable by machine and requires little if any ironing. ANOTHER FAVORITE Cotton eyelet is another favor- ite that depends upon the beauty of the fabric rather than trimming, and needs only easy washing-machine care. Even the shift, in its newest versions, is more than a gar- ment with two straight seams. It may be box-pleated, done in linen-like rayon or, in airy cot- ton. it may be accented with a huge polka dot bow at the deep plunge neckline. ve to spend time on the iron- ing board, all of these loungers do need hand-shaping after laundering. While the fabric is still damp, finger-press ruffles so that they look lively and fluted when dry. Return box pleats to their proper folds with a brisk shake of the garment, then renew creases by running finger and thumb firmly along the edges. USE PADDED HANGERS Smooth sashes and rows of ruching. Hang capelets care- fully on padded hangers, so they will retain their -bias or circular cut without sagging. Fluff up the big fabric bows, | and puff the = shirrings on sleeves and bodices. While the automatic dryer can «+; complish a certain amount of pressing, fine details must be done by hand. So if a dryer is used, be sure to take the garments out of the machine before they are com- pletely dry. Hang them care- fully, then apply the finishing touches. A garment which is best drip- dried should be "'shaped" while| wet so that the weight of the dripring water can pull it back ah Even though they may never to the original lines, ~)herney's} FURNITURE WORLD SAVE ON ROOM SIZE RUGS 1 ONLY 6'9" x 9' WINE ORIENTAL AXMINSTER RUG & ONLY 46" x 66" SHAGGY WOOL ACCENT RUGS . ; 4 ONLY 6' x 9 MULTICOLOURED | 9 BRAIDED RUGS '| 39.95 29.96 2 ONLY 4' x 6" RED ORIENTAL RUGS .| 18.95) 13.95 att ranen avec n 1176.40140,00 Were: 1OLeOn ae 189.00/143.00 99.95| 74.95 | 1 ONLY 9° x 18 HARDING NYLON (CINNAMON) 2 ONLY 9' x 12' BARRYMORE Give Father come fort plus smart style ing in'these breeze- lightweight short sleeve dress Distinctive collor styles... for cool shirts.
