P™no„ A9 l ee '7' ,h ,he Su P reme Court Decision Which Said That
P egnancy Benefits May Legally Be Excluded from Disability Insurance
Plans Sponsored by Employers?

I disagree with the decision
because it’s to the point now
that a woman almost has to
work, and if she has to be out
because of pregnancy, then
she should be entitled to
some coverage.

Whenever possible, a child
should be mentally prepared
before being admitted to a
hospital. This is not possible
in emergencies, but is
possible when advance notice
is given. Children fear the
unknown, but face situations
quite calmly when they have
been properly informed
about what will take place.
They should be told that
they are going to the hospital
so that the doctor can make
them better. Be sure to let
the child know that the
nurses and doctors are their
friends, and will be doing
everything possible to help
the child. A little preparation
in advance may save the
child a lot of anxiety.
Everyone in medicine has
only one purpose....to help
the patient. That's the reason
we always take the greatest
possible care when filling
your prescriptions. See us
when you need medicines.

I agree with the decision. I
think planned parenthood
would result in planned
disability, and disability is
something we normally think
of as accident-related type
disabilities.

I disagree. Though it
shouldn’t be, a woman’s
having a baby is sometimes
taken for granted and usually
her salary is necessary to the
family and a benefit, which
could apply only to women,
should not be omitted by an
employer.

OI.I) YEAR-NEW YEAR
Rev. F’eter A. Washington,
C.SS.R.
St. Mary’s - Jackson
The end of the year is a
time for reflection, for
looking back and taking
stock of how we spent the
precious time given us. It is a
time of thanks - thanks to
God for life and its blessings,
for family and friends.
The beginning of a year is a
time of hope, of looking
ahead with the determination
that it will be a better year;
that we will not repeat the
mistakes and failings of the
last year.
We stand on the threshold
of anew year. We cannot
service Sunday after a
lengthy absence due to
illness.

I disagree with the deci
sion. It seems to me that it
penalizes motherhood, and I
think a woman should be
given all the protection she
should receive.
promise ourselves that we
shall see its end. for time
may run out before the year
ends. Even this should not be
a disturbing thought to put
before ourselves on New
Year’s Day. This year could
well be the happiest and most
fruitful of our lives, if w'e
thought of the termination of
time and readied ourselves
for a final accounting before
the judgment seat of God. As
good Pope John reminded
us: ' Any day is a good day to
die. " Any day is a good day to
die. if we are ready. And if
we are not ready, a consoling
thought at the beginning of
this year is that we still have
time to get ready.
This is one of the primary
purposes for celebrating the
beginning of anew year. It is
a chance for us to start a
new. a chance to take stock of
things, to align our goals and
freshen our attitudes.
Christ, who gave us
himself on Christmas, has
just handed us another gift,
the invitation to initiate a
new beginning new year.
Time is the one fixed
quantity in our lives. We can
change a lot of things about
our lives; where we live, our
friends, the things of this
world that we possess, even
our appearance. But not one
of us can lengthen, by a
single second, the amount of
time that God has assigned to
gaeh of us. Let’s keep this in
mind and make the best use
of our time during 1977.

Boredom Helps
Children enjoy stim
ulating activities; not only
experiences and playthings,
but they also need a chance
to be bored, according to
leading human development
specialists. Too much
stimulation can produce a
passive child, one who looks
to others for ideas and ac
tivities. rather than coming
up with his own, the
specialists say. Children can
use unplanned time. Empty
hours can force them into
thinking up way’s to enter
tain themselves. Thus,
boredom is often a fertile
ground for creativity.
