Newspaper Page TextThe Augusta News-Review - June 26, 1975 Linda Keyes Answers Your Questions Dear Linda Keyes, What determines a baby’s sex? Is there anything you can do to get a boy if you want a boy or a girl if you want a girl? S. DearS., The sex of a baby is determined at the time of conception and it’s the father who determines whether it will be a boy or a girl. Males produce two types of sperm in about equal numbers. They’re very similar except that one type produces a male child and the other a female and whichever type fertilizes the egg determines whether it will be a boy or girl. The egg produced by the woman has nothing to do with deciding the sex of the baby;neither do positions used in intercourse, time of the year nor phase of the moon.

What should you do? L. Dear L. If you miss three or more pills in your cycle (in a row or on separate occasions) continue on with the remaining pills, taking two a day till you’re caught up. AND use some other form of contraception for the remainder of the cycle. Do this even if the missed pills were taken later. ********** Our last two columns concerned vasectomy. Vasectomies are being done in several places in the Augusta area. Private physicians, (generally urologists), the Planned Parenthood Center, •724-5557 and the Richmond County Department 722-0440 are doing them. There’s a reasonable charge at the Planned Parenthood Center and for those who qualify they’re done free at the Health Department.

ELECTRICITY AND THE CONSUMER ■ ' -W Straight Talk by Bob Scherer President, HHHH Georgia Power Company These days we hear much talk about “the consumer.” Sometimes it seems “the consumer” has just been discovered. Since Georgia Power Company was formed in the late 1920’5, our only reason for being in business has been to serve that “consumer,” or customer. In our early years, it was easier to provide for our customers’ electrical needs than it is now. We were in an expanding economy, able easily to borrow money and achieve earnings necessary to finance the ever-increasing needs of a growing Georgia. For example, it took until 1964 to reach an investment of $1 billion in electrical plant to serve our customers. In just 10 more years, that investment increased by more than two and a half times to reach $3.7 billion in 1974. During this period we decreased our rates 16 consecutive times. Unfor tunately, those days of decreases are over. Since 1971, we’ve had to request annual rate relief to help us meet your future electrical demands. All this means is that we, like you, are facing the problems of inflation, reces sion and rising costs of doing business. It’s tougher to provide you with electric service today. But as the new president of Georgia Power Company, 1 want you to know that our newly organized management team is taking a positive view of the future. We are looking at every way we can to reduce costs while maintaining the level of service you, our customers, deserve. I would welcome your suggestions about how we can better provide for your present and future electrical needs. Write: Bob Scherer P.O.

Terrell “Business Administration is a good field, and offers me a possible chance to make a few extra dollars,” exclaimed La Ron Freeman, a 17-year-old young man with a determination to “move on up a little higher,” in a society that is extremely perplexed.
