But with the birth rate al- ready easing after a steady rise in the 1950s many have made family planning-- through contraceptives or non-contraceptive methods--a part of every-day life One town council, which makes loans for home con- struction, grants less strin- gent terms if it knows that a couple practises family plan- ning. Couples realize they can get bigger mortgages if the wife is working, said one official on the council in Worthing, Sussex. If a man and wife say they plan not to have children for several years, the council takes the wife's salary into ac- count in assessing the risks involved in lending them money. "The privately operated Family Planning Association, which includes. contraceptives in its array of recommended birth control techniques, seems, gratified at the degree to which its views are accept- ed by Britons in general. One. Roman Catholic expert on marriage said there is in- sufficient awareness of how "responsible parenthood" can be practised through such non-contraceptive means as attention to infertile periods and use of the temperature guide. HELPS OTHER NATIONS The British government is offering . help to countries where mushrooming popula- tions pose acute problems in terms of health, economics and general social conditions. One recent aid. package to Pakistan included $75,000 worth of contraceptives. "However, by and large we don't normally provide such material," said an official of the ministry of overseas de- ernment emphasizes such ac- velopment. Instead, the gov- | tion as the granting of $150,000 | annually for five years to the | Britain's Family Planning Ideas Rewarded At Home, Sent Abroad International Planned Parent- hood Federation, which has headquarters in London. A new birth control law en- acted last summer met sur- prisingly little opposition, its supporters say. This was be- cause the Catholic position on such matters is so well known that a restatement was unnec- essary, says an official of the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council. The legislation empowers local authorities, with the health minister's approval, to give contraception advice to. women needing it for medical or broader "social" reasons Also allowed are any medi- cal examination, drugs or ap- pliances deemed necessary, all under the socialized Nation- al Health Service. NO PROTESTS Sponsoring the private measure was Edwin Brooks, Labor MP for a constituency in substantially Catholic Birk- enhead, Catholics in Britain form a _ minority 5,000,000 strong. Brooks reported receiving no. letters of protests from constituents, Since his meas- ure became law, local Birken- head autliorities have acted on it and even backed birth control help for unmarried mothers. "We don't want to encour- age boys and girls to sleep around," said the bearded, 37-year-old Brooks in an inter- view. But the high illegiti- macy rate in big cities means a strain on tax revenues and the denial to many of the chil- dren involved of any form of family life. Hence the need seen by family. planning sup- porters for making help avail- able to women both inside and | outside wedlock. Britain's population is well past 53,000,000.

All this in an area of 93,000 square miles means pressing demands on space as well as om the country's already over- strained capacity for import- ing feod. As a source of birth control help for underdeveloped coun- tries, Britain lags behind the United States and Sweden. CANADA HINDERED Canada's ability to help is curbed, say birth control backers, by an anti-contracep- tion clause in the country's Criminal Code, This brings promotion or sale of methods for "prevent- ing conception" under the heading of 'offences tending to corrupt morals," except where there is "lawful justifi- cation or excuse." However, changes in Canadian law are expected soon. There is no evidence of a population downturn in India resulting from strenuous birth control efforts. But results are reported from similar activi- ties in Japan, Formosa and Singapore. Birth control advocates in- clude many women anxious to free others the world over from what is termed enslave- ment to a year-after-year suc- cession of pregnancies. But enthusiastic as they are for their cause, the chief pro- ponents of family planning are fearful of overselling birth control in the emerging na- tions Walls in the west end of Kingston, Jamaica, an area of slums and black radicals, bear inscriptions charging plots to 'kill black babies" on the part of the elements be- hind birth control.

Robert Crawford, (foreground), was the mas- ter of ceremonies for the control bulks large, the Soviet Union has avoided any opposi- tion: to the idea but argues nevertheless that economic development should take priority in' aid programs for emerging countries. Both Russia and China, to- gether with other Communist countries, have family plan- ning programs for their own peoples. The British. Family Plan- ning Association says the pill has helped make birth control respectable in this country. However, it views as pre- mature the belief that Britain has outgrown Victorian ideas and achieved the status of a ; permissive society. The unmarried mother re- mains a pariah: to some ex- tent. And opposition to contra- ception is by no means a Catholic monopoly. The FPA says 78 per cent of all married couples in Britain practise some form of birth control and about 10 per cent of Britons have no access of their own to birth control ad- vice. This percentage the population's leged section--"victims of their own fertility," in the words of one birth control ad- vocate. represents underprivi- iS) Parrew 9-26 Cut large pieces jnet-- from old crinoline - rags. of nylon type half slips -- and use for scrub) BRAND NEW FALL ARRIVALS 463 RITSON RD.
