i riULiii'i • • lui/n > , lumuuitii! Just a few of the beautifully created and lasting treasures from the Christmas House featured on Holiday Hospitality day, Oct. 3. Christmas House To Be Featured In Home Tour The pretty young misses who tend to the Christmas House for Santa and his elves have become carpenters this year. One of their members is restoring a post-Civil War home in Woodstock. As each room acquired some modern convenience, the industrious little ladies snatched up the treasured old wood to create the clever and attractive decorations which will be on sale at the James Green home Holiday Hospitality day, Wednesday, Oct. 3. Some of the most interesting and charming wood pieces are the Ecology Boxes. Six sewing machine drawers rescued from Grandma's stuffy old attic have been turned on end, sectioned with the old wood, and banded with velvet ribbon offering a unique and quaint item to be enjoyed year round. Other jewels from wood are the varied table decorations. Certain to be a favorite is a triangle shaped piece sprouting a dimpled pixie among the greenery. In addition to beautifully beaded and ribboned tree or­ naments are others using paint, decoupage, felt and wax. Any of them would lend just the precise touch to any holiday tree. The always popular candy wreaths and felt wall hangings will be available as in the past. However, the Gift Corner, a new feature, may steal the show. Year around treasures to please one and all can be found here in abundance. A blending of Christmas spirit, joy in doing and a sprinkle of mischief have made the Christmas House a popular stop for the Holiday Hospitality day visitor. ^ ^ ^ ^ ̂ ̂ ^ ̂ ^ ̂ ̂ ̂ Community Calendar * * * * * * SEPTEMBER 16 St. Patrick's Annual Parish Picnic - City Park -- 2 p.m. SEPTEMBER 17 McHenry Business & Professional Women's Club - Dinner Meeting -- Andre's Steak House, Richmond -- 7 p.m. SEPTEMBER 19 Luncheon, card Party - St. Peter's Hall -- Spring Grove -- 12 o'clock Noon.

Toda/s Health News Published by (he American Medical Association Sexist and authoritarian . . . These are the two adjectives au­ thor Barbara Seaman used to des­ cribe some American gynecolo­ gists, obstetricians, and pediatri­ cians. The accusations were made in a TODAY'S HEALTH debate with a leading expert in obste­ trics and gynecology. "I have found in my research that some doctors want to make decisions for the woman not only on birth control techniques, but also on whether or not she should have natural childbirth or breast­ feed her baby," says Mrs. Sea­ man, Author of "The Doctors' Case Against the PilL" She feels that the Pill has been unwisely thrust down too many women's throats with the assuring words: "Don't worry your pretty little head." As a consequence, women are having complications after discontinuing use of the pill, Mrs. Seaman believes. Fred Benjamin, M.D., of Queens Hospital in New York City, agrees and advises women to use the dia­ phragm instead. "I tell my pa­ tients no woman has ever had an endocrine upheaval from using one, and no woman has died from it, and you cannot say that about the Pill." "And it never perforated a uterus either, and you can't say that about the IUD (intrauterine device)", Mrs. Seaman added. As for the mother's right to have the baby by natural child­ birth, Dr. Benjamin says, "In the vast majority of cases there are no medical contraindications and if a woman wants to have her baby this way, I'm all for it." The doctor points out that one exception is a weak uterus that might rupture unless she has a Caesar ean. "If a woman wants to breast­ feed her baby, why should some doctors insist on making the deci­ sion for her?" Mrs. Seaman asks. "Now here, too," Dr. Benjamin answers, "I feel that if a woman wants to nurse her baby that is her right and I, for one, encour­ age her. I happen to believe it's VOLUNTEERS FOR VETERANS - Pat Spoto, left, Kay Kastings, Ethel Hagberg, Dora Krocker and Mary Kuemmel are Downey hospital volunteers.

Mary Kuemmel, Downey Veterans Hospital chairman for the Ladies auxiliary to VFW Post 4600, recently received a pin in recognition for having volunteered over 1,500 hours. Dora Krocker has served over 1,000 hours and Pat Spoto, 100 hours. A total of over 3,700 hours have been donated as volunteers by members of the Fox River Ladies auxiliary to VFW Post 4600. the better way for a variety of reasons: Human milk is ideal food for a newborn; it has the right composition and is free of bacteria; it is simple, convenient, economical, and always the right temperature." If your doctor objects to any particular method of birth con­ trol, childbirth or infant feeding, Dr. Benjamin suggests you ask: "Why are you opposed to it? Please explain your position to me logically. I'm a reasonably in­ telligent person, and I want to know." WANT MORE INFORMATION?
