New airports recommended
JEFFERSON, Ga. (UPI) -
Anticipating increased air traf
fic in northeast Georgia in the
next two decades, the Georgia
Department of Transportation is
recommending construction of
six new airports for the region
by 1993.
The “Georgia Airport System
Plan,” a two- year study re
leased to state officials late last
week, examines anticipated
needs in relation to existing air
facilities in the northeast area

of the state.
The study recommends relo
cating existing airports in the
Athens and Barrow - Jackson
County areas, and building new
airports in Greene, Oconee,
Oglethorpe and Walton counties.
The study proposes a new air
port for the Athens area by 1978
to replace the present Athens
Municipal Airport. The proposed
airport, to be expanded by 1993
to dual runways with an annual
capacity of 437,000 operations,
would cost a total $4.2 million
in federal, state and local funds.
The study recommends a new
airport for Athens, rather than
expanding the existing facility,

Dr. Lamb
eena S e girt
giiiM is too tall
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB -1 read
your column about the
woman who was worried
about her children growing
up to be too short. My prob
lem is just the opposite. I’m
almost five-feet nine and in
the eighth grade. Whenever I
meet someone I always dread
it because the first impres
sion they must have is, “Gosh,
she’s tall.” Or, “Is she really
in the eighth grade?” It has
caused me to be very self
conscious and have an in
feriority complex.
To keep from standing out
in a crowd I stoop, crouch,
and whatever else to make
myself shorter. Can you help
,me to get over this problem?
Is there anything that can be
done?
DEAR READER - Yes,
something can be done to
stop growth. First you should
have a careful medical ex
amination by an en
docrinologist (gland
specialist) to be sure you
have no medical disorder
that needs treatment.
If everything is normal and
it is just a matter of coming
into this world with a
blueprint for a tall body, then
you can be given hormones
that will stop the process. The
length of the legs are a major
factor in how tall a person is.
Within the shaft of the thigh
bone, for example, there is a
zone of cartilage just like a
round circular cross section
of the bone. It keeps growing
Ronnie Thompson raps Atlanta administration
ATLANTA (UPI) - Republi
can gubernatorial nominee Ron
nie Thompson has blasted May
or Maynard Jackson’s handling
of the city police department
and vowed to take immediate
action to fight crime in Atlanta
if elected.
Thompson told the Fraternal
Order of Police Saturday Jack
son has become “the No. 1
racist in the United States” be
cause of recent demotions with
in the police department.
“As governor, I would immed
iately have a meeting with the
metro Atlanta area elected peo
ple, including the mayors and
chiefs of police and other inter
ested officials, and set about a
course with deliberate speed,”
Thompson said later in an inter
view.
“Atlanta is No. 1 in crime,

number of homes.”
For Barrow and Jackson coun
ties, the study proposes a
single, new airport by 1983 to
support an anticipated increase
in air traffic from the Atlanta
area. The study said existing
airports in Jackson and Barrow
counties could not adequately
support increased Atlanta de
mand.
and the outer layer of the
cartilage disk calcifies and
becomes part of the main
shaft of the thigh bone. Car
tilage grows, but calcified
bone does not.
When you begin to mature
sexually the sex hormones
cause the cartilage disk to
calcify. The long bones then
quit growing. This, inciden
tally, is why doctors don’t like
to give sex hormones to
either boys or girls before
they have completed the
growth of the long bones. It
can stunt their growth.
So, you can take female
hormones and stop the
growth of your long bones
and markedly slow or stop
your continued growth. You
would still be a fairly tall
girl.
The next question that
comes up is, do birth control
pills stop growth in young
girls? By the time the ovaries
are active enough to produce
ovum and cause the
possibility of pregnancy they
are already producing a lot
of estrogen. This effect will
already have occurred, and
the small amount of female
hormones in the birth control
pill won’t be important then
from a growth standpoint. It
follows that a girl who is rea
sonably mature and having
regular cycles should be at
the stage where the long
bones will have stopped
growing.
Now, about that stooping
and crouching. That can be a
very unhealthy habit. The
bad posture that develops
can deform your chest cage.
The round shoulders and
slouched posture are not
going to make you very at
tractive. Part of a woman’s
good figure is dependent
upon posture. Besides that, it
can affect the full capacity of
your lungs to expand. This
will compromise your exer
cise capacity. It will become
more and more important as
life goes on. This is a common
reaction in tall people, but it
is a real mistake.
Boys mature later and con
tinue to grow longer than
girls, because they develop
slower sexually than girls, as
a group. A girl may be
mature endocrine-wise in her
early teens, but a boy may not
be until his early 20s. There is
quite an individual variation
in time span, however.
