ABORTION - THE LAW
A young girl - pale and trembling, eye downcast - follows the
doctor into the bare, dingy room. The walls, once white, are
stained with a decade of grime. A single light bulb hangs over a
kitchen table.
This abortion scene, familiar to readers of the confessions
magazines, isn’t yet gone.
If the woman is rich she can fly to New York or Hawaii for
a legal abortion. If she’s not she must face the red tape and
delays of a hospital review committee (22 signatures on 14
documents here in Georgia), have an unwanted baby - or try to
find someone who will perform an illegal abortion.
“It’s real discrimination against the poor,” says Russell H.
Richardson, director of the Atlanta Area Family Planning
program.
Richardson points out that when the Federal District Court
struck down laws requiring medical reasons for an abortion, “at
first blush it looked like progress - but then hospitals almost
stopped doing abortions.”
The district ruling will be appealed before the Supreme Court
in October by the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia
.using female attorneys for the case. Because the situation is so
[fluid, a group of concerned citizens, chaired by Richardson, are
Ifieetin-’ informally on 22 June at L:3O in the Atlanta Stadium
area He 'ard Johnson Motor Lodge (South) to plan a statewide
conference on abortion this fall. “We need to be ready for the
impact that a more liberal* law or Supreme Court Decision
would have on Georgia,” Richardson said.
H.G. Whittington examines current attitudes toward abortion
in a book review in the “Psychiatry and Social Science
Review.” Discussing Robert E. Hall’s ABORTION IN A
CHANGING WORLD, VOL. 11, Whittington points out that
liberalized abortion laws, such as Georgia’s, “have been
ineffective in achieving either the public health or civil
libertarian goals that were sought by those promoting revision
of abortion statutes.”
He makes three points:
* that overpopulation must be controlled and that abortion
is a necessary part of a comprehensive birth control program
when other methods fail;
* that determining who can and can’t have an abortion
infringes on civil liberties (the right of privacy) and
* that medicine cannot predict which woman will suffer
mental illness from an unwanted pregnancy.
fie points out that even if psychiatry could make such

MISS MILDRED HUFF, HOME ECONOMIST
ATLANTA (PRN) Summer time is picnic time!
Have you ever gone into the kitchen to fix supper and
thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to get away from this hot house
and goon a picnic!”
Spur of the moment picnics are the best fun of all because
they’re so easy. Everyone’s excited about the unexpected treat
and YOU don’t have to go through the worry of pre-shopping
and preparation. What you see is what you get out of the
refrigerator or cabinets.
Our last picnic included 2 left over chicken drumsticks, end
pieces from 8 different loaves of bread, peanutbutter, canned
comed beef, pimento cheese, a tomato, celery, half a jar of
pickled artichokes, olives, chocolate chip cookies, and a box of
raisins. Our super dessert was a watermelon! It has been rolling
around in Martha Jo’s car trunk since she’d gone to her folk’s
farm the previous weekend.
Within 10 minutes we were on our way to Stone Mountain
Park with full baskets, leaving 4 cleaned out refrigerators back
at the apartments.
The only thing missing was potato salad.
Well, spur of the moment picnickers, or anyone who just
loves homemade potato salad, rejoice, rejoice! Instant potato
salad is here. The need to boil and peel the potatoes and hard
cook, shell, then chop the eggs is gone. This potato salad can be
completely made and packed to go in 10 minutes.
Instant Potato Salad
2 tsp - coarsely chopped celery
2 pkg. (2 oz. each) instant potatoes * C - c ,f arse| y chopped onion
(or the amount needed to make } s™ ll tomato, chopped
8 one half cup servings) “• pickle
Vi C. mayonnaise or sour cream /4 chopped cucumber
2 eggs pinch dry mustard
Bring salted water to a boil. Remove from heat. Dump in
potato flakes, mayonnaise and break in the 2 raw eggs. Stir
vigorously. Mix in remaining ingredients. Serve hot or cold.
Makes 6% cup servings.
Worried about breaking in raw egg? The hot water “cooks”
the egg as it blends into the potatoes. If you don’t have
cucumber and tomato, don’t worry. But they do add a special
flavor.
If you have questions or recipes you’d like to share, write to
me: Georgia Egg Commission, 1687 Tullie Circle, N.E., Suite
118, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
predictions, “the morality of condemning certain women to
personal misery and suffering, simply because they have
sufficient ego strength not to become psychotic, is open to
serious question. Nor is it ‘good’ social policy to reward mental
illness and punish adequate coping ability. And even if
phychiatry could predict, and was willing to be the agent of a
repressive society, the abortion review board is a very poor
instrument....”
Whittington concludes, “widely available abortion upon
demand would not endanger the public health, but would,
instead protect it. It would not endanger the public safety, but
it would greatly increase the safety of women experiencing an
involuntary pregnancy. It would not endanger the public
morals, but it would prevent the twisted interpersonal attitudes
and behaviors that so often grow out of involuntary pregnancy,
and lead to wasted lives and distorted marriages that breed
other generations of alienated and confused children.”
Almost all of the above was reported in the April-May issue
Metropolitian Atlanta Council for Health newsletter.

CAR SWINDLES
We are about to go on our
vacation. I hear that you can
really get gypped by filling
stations along the way unless
you’re extra careful. Can you
tell us what to look out for?
Unfortunately, unethical
gas station operators think
that an out-of-town tag makes
you fair game because you
won’t be around to complain.
In some cases, the attendant
has been caught punching
holes in someone’s tire, and
then selling him the
replacement. In another
swindle, the attendant drops
seltzer tablets in the battery.
This produces a white foam
that scares the motorist into
buying a new battery. There
are also cases in which fan
belts were cut nearly through,
the wire to the starter cut, and
liquid smoke (used by
magicians) was dumped in the
motor.
The best way to avoid
getting taken on a deal like
this is to simply get out of
your car, and watch what the
attendant is doing.
If a filling station attendant
tells you that the car needs
new parts or repairs, try to get
the opinion of another garage
if it is at all possible.
VETERANS BENEFITS
Can you tell me something
about veterans benefits under
the G.I. Bill?
Veterans benefits fall into
four categories; education,
home buying, job assistance
and medical care.
To be eligible for education
benefits, you must have served
six months on active duty
after January 31, 1955;
however, the whole six
months does not have to be
served after that date.
Additionally, you must not
have been dishonorably
discharged. You are also
eligible for education benefits
if you had to leave before
serving six months because of

a service connected disability.
Service with the National
Guard or Reserve Corps does
not entitle you to veterans
benefits. For every month you
spent in the service, you are
entitled to go to a VA
approved school for 45 days,
and the government sends you
a check every month. The
amount varies from SBI.OO for
a veteran with no dependents,
attending school half-time to
$230.00 to a veteran with two
dependents who is going to
school full time. For each
dependent after two, you get
another $13.00.
The government offers
financial assistance for
education of wives, widows
and children of servicemen
who were killed or totally
disabled in the line of duty.
When you are discharged
from the Armed forces, you

car.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You
should find it easier to express your
self, and your charm index rises. Activi

tures very carefully on weekend. Count
your change.

tivities calm down somewhat, although
mid-week is a grand time to entertain
a large group at home. Take extra pains
to be completely honest with spouse on
weekend.

ships and long-range plans come to the
fore. You may consider volunteering at
a children’s hospital or nursery-school.

life gets a lift, with much entertaining
in store. Consider very carefully any
major expenditures on home repairs;

adult-type field trip with many friends
mid-week. Travel fun but extra expen
