THE
PILL BOX

AUGUSTA AREA PLANNED j
PARENTHOOD ASSOCIATION!
MALE PILL TO BE TRIED Clinical trials of a contraceptive
pill for men are in the planning stage in London, to begin in
about one year. The drug has been tested successfully on male
animals. Professor Dennis Lacy, head of the Department of
Zoology at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical School, who has
been working on the project for twelve years, told a press
conference that he hoped to apply shortly for a license to carry
out the trials. These would initially be limited to about one
dozen carefully chosen men.
CHICANOS PRACTICE BIRTH CONTROL The Population
Research Center of the University of Texas at Austin is about
to complete a study entitled “Family and Fertility Among
Mexican-Americans” which is based upon personal, in-depth
interviews with 348 couples who live in Austin. It discloses that
7 out of 10 married Mexican-American women in that city have
used birth control pills at one time or another. To quote Dr.
Harley L. Browing, director of the center: “We wanted to find
out in this study if the general low socio-economic status
among Mexican-Americans could explain the high fertility rate.
In other words, so they have more children because of their
Roman Catholic culture that encourages large families or
because they’re poor and uneducated? This study is indicating
to us that the latter (poor and uneducated) is true, that it’s not
the easiest thing in the world to control fertility, and that
education about contraceptives makes a big difference.”
ACCESS TO ABORTION FAVORED The National
Association of Social Workers at a recent meeting went on
record as favoring legalized abortion despite strong opposition
from some of its members. The following statement was issued:
“We stand with a client in her rights to make a free decision on
abortion plans without coercion and unhampered by unrealistic
laws, inadequately delivered health services and insufficient
medical lacilities, and insensitive and punitive attitudes of the
health professions and ancillary personnel.”
S7O BILLION WORTH What differnece does it make if
Americans have two children per family or three? Plenty,
according to a presidential commission, in terms of the
demands placed on our society. It can mean S4O BILLION
MORE a year for public education, perhaps S3O BILLION more
a year just to maintain present health standards. The
Commission on Population Growth and the American Future,
assuming a population of 300 million by the year 2000 with
three children per family, also concludes that the economy will
have to produce 20 PERCENT MORE that would be necessary
to provide the two-child family with the same standard of
living.
ROOM FOR ONE MORE? One of the oldest and truest of
folktales concerns the farmer with a problem: how could he get
his crop into town quickly and inexpensively? His ten-ton truck
was a non-polluting camel, and his answer was of course to load
up the beast and walk it off to the city. The only decision was,
when to stop loading? No parallel at all between the camel and
our Earth. We think: “Always room for one more. We can use
vastly more air and water than we recycle forever without
worrying, just incidentally adding 72 million more users each
year. Something will come up. If we can go to the moon we
can probably eat granite. Or perhaps, if we set our minds to it,
a shuttle can be arranged to planets in Alpha Centauri, the
closest star and solar system. (Some shuttle: a spacecraft
moving at a million miles an hour would only take 3000 years
one way- and if the two people who began the trip multiplied
at our present 2% increase rate, when they arrived at their new
home, their family would include 10,000,000,000,000,000
rocket mates!) We can work out the details later.” When will
we ever learn?
CAPSULE IN TROUBLE A quest for a once-a-year
contraceptive device, under study at Michael Reese Hospital in
Chicago, has hit a snag. Investigators report that there has been
an unacceptably high expulsion rate from the uterus of the
intrauterine capsule in which contraceptive harmone
(progesterone) is contained. The IUD capsules, made of silicone
rubber, have been tried in various shapes and sizes, but 21 of
the 109 volunteer women under test have expelled one or the
other after a few weeks or several months. So it’s going to be a
while longer.
NEW INSURANCE BENEFITS Legal abortion, maternity
benefits for single persons and hospitalization for alcoholics and
drug addicts have been included among many new benefits for
members of the Wisconsin State Employees Association. The
changes have been agreed upon between the state and Wisconsin
Blue Cross-Surgical Care Blue Shield, Milwaukee, which carried
the insurance.
SUPPORT DIMINISHING A recent sociological study
conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the
University of Chicago has found that support among U.S.
Roman Catholic priests for their church’s teaching on birth
control and divorce is waning sharply and also that a majority

(L to R) Regional advisors, James C. Abbott, W.H. Harper, Jr., Governor Carter, and
Central Savannah River Area Planning and Development Commission Chairman,
Leroy Williams.
Governor Jimmy Carter has
appointed two regional
advisors for each of the 19
Area Planning and
Development Commissions in
the State to assist in the
administration of his Goals for
Georgia program.
The advisors from this
region are: James C. Abbott,

BOOKLET OFFERED The Massachusetts Commission on
Christian Unity (818 Middle Street, Fall River, Mass. 02721)
an ecumenical group, is providing clergymen with a publication
containing official positions taken by religious bodies on the
subject of abortion. The preface states: “The morality of
abortion is an important question in our society today.... True
understanding of one another’s positions cannot but help
advance the goals of ecumenism.” Write for your copy, if you
are a pastor.
ACOG SPEAKS OUT The American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists urged at its May meeting that legal
restrictions against prescribing contraceptives for minors be
lifted and that decisions on abortion be left to doctors and
their patients.
PSYCHOLOGICAL RELIEF Legal abortions have brought
psychological relief and happiness to most patients, A New
York sociologist told the American Orthopsychiatric
Association at its conference in March. Dr. Joy Osofsky
reported that interviews with 380 women showed that 76% felt
no guilt reactions at all, although 44% of them were Roman

advisors then met with the
Goals for Georgia project
director, Kirby Winters, for a
more detailed discussion of the
Goals program.
“Goals for Georgia is the
first program of its kind in any
state in the nation,” the
Governor said. “It is designed
to give every citizen an
Catholic. Most of the women interviewed requested
contraception information and did not view abortion as the
preferred method of birth control. “Woman’s right to control
her own body and not to bear unwanted children should not be
obscured by slanted psychological studies of the past,” stated
Dr. Osofsky.
VENDING MACHINES APPROVED The Toronto Board of
Health has endorsed a proposal to place birth control device
vending machines in public buildings throughout the city.
Prophylactic (condom) dispensers have been operative in other
Candian cities and commissions from sales might be used for
research or scholarships, it was proposed. The aim is the
reduction of venereal disease.
CARE PLAN OFFERED The Population Council in New York
City has recently outlined a plan for providing maternity care
and birth control services to people of underdeveloped nations
at a projected cost of 60 cents per person annually. Authors of
the plan, which would capitalize on the fact that women are
most receptive to family planning immediately after giving
birth, expect the program to prevent millions of unwanted
births and at the same time improve maternal and child care

ATLANTA (PRN) - Plastic
worms go with hot weather
just as surely as does ice
cream...but of course, not for
the same purposes. As I travel
around the state, one on the
most frequent questions I’m
asked by anglers is “how
should a plastic worm be
fished? I hear so much about
using them, but I never have
much (or any) success with
them.”
I’ll be frank with you on
two points: (1) I’m really no
expert on plastic worm
fishing, though I’ve had good
days with them and (2) if I
can get a bass on a plug I’d
rather. Nonetheless I’ve had
expert advice and instruction
in worm fishing from some of
the state’s best in that field,
opportunity to have a voice in
determining what our state will
be like in the years to come. A
large measure of the
responsibility for making sure
that every Georgia citizen has
this opportunity will fall upon
these regional advisors. They
are serving without
compensation out of a desire
to help government be more
responsive to the people. I am
confident that they will do a
great job.”

and maybe enough of it
rubbed off that I can pass on a
few tips that will help you. If
my suggestions don’t work,
remember that I didn’t claim
to be an expert, and then go
find a good worm fisherman
and ask him to show you.
That’s the best way to learn
anything about fishing
anyway.
Explaining worm fishing is
difficult; there are many ways
to hook and fish a worm. I’m
convinced, however, that only
two methods are worth
mentioning, so I’ll stay with
them
First, you need two items
primarily created for worm
fishing, and that includes
sinkers and hooks (of course,
you’ll need a pretty stiff rod
conferences this summer to
encourage the people of
Georgia to “speak their minds”
and let the Governor know
some specific ways to improve
the operations of State
government. The newly
appointed regional advisors will
represent the Governor at these
conferences. In addition, they
will be speaking to civic groups
and other interested
organizations encouraging
individual involvement in the
Governor’s program.
The entire Goals program is
being administered by the
Georgia Planning Association
with the assistance of the Area
Planning and Development
Commissions. A broad
cross-section of local
communities is expected at the
regional conferences.
According to the Governor, no
suggestion should be
considered too minor to be
included in the program. All
constructive recommendations
are welcome and each one will
be carefully considered for
inclusion in the final Goals
plan.
The date and time for each
of the regional conferences will
be announced later by the
Executive Directors of the
Area Planning and
Development Commissions.

and a sturdy reel..a medium
rod will do, but not as welll
Two types of sinkers are best,
egg shaped and bullet shaped.
Bullet shaped are best. Both
egg and bullet shaped sinkers
are put on the line so that
they’ll slide freely, then the
hook is attached. One method
I’ll discuss requires a hook
with a wire weed guard, the
other does not. For those who !
don’t use the weedless hook,
it’s best to get the new special
hooks with the bend near the
eye of the hook to help hold'
the worm on properly? Use
large hooks, preferabley 4/0 to
6/0.
The weedless hook method
is relatively simple. Just run
the point of the hook all the
way through the head of the
worm, fasten the weedguard,
then cast. The nonweedless
hook should be threaded
through the center of the
worm from the head toward
the tail for about an inch or
more; than bring the hook out
of the worm, turn it over and
insert the point back into the
worm barely far enough to
cover the barb. Smooth the
worm along the shank of the
hook and, especially if it’s a
straight-shanked hook, insert a
toothpick through the worm
and the hook eye, clipping off
the ends next to the worm.
This holds it on.
Cast the worm to thd
bottom of a deep, snagfilled
hole, and let it sink. Give it
plenty of time, maybe a
minute, or even more. But
don’t let the line go
completely slack or you may
miss a strike on the way down.
Now, with the worm on the
bottom, slowly crawl it back
to you. Some folks reel the
worm in for a few feet then
stop, but most make slow
sweeps with the rod tip, then
reel in slack. Anytime
something stops the worm,
point your rod tip in the
direction of the line, allowing
slack, and wait to see if the
line moves off. If it does, wait
till the line is tight, than strike
hard. If the line doesn’t move,
edge it forward only a foot or
two, and be very aware to
determine whether a strike
will come. My experience
indicates this is when most
strikes will come, because the
first stop is a snag and when
the worm crawls over it, a fish
grabs it.
I’d better point out that
some top-drawer worm anglers
who use a nonweedless hook
inbedded in the worm say it’s
necessary to strike back the
instant the bass hits.
