Mothers March this Sunday The March of Dimes Foundation refers to its annual campaign as the Mothers’ March, and dozens of these concerned women will be in evidence this Sunday up and down the streets of Greencastle and Cloverdale. But if the homeowner takes a second glance at the face above the name tag, he may discover that some fathers, grandmothers, and DePauw students have joined the effort. There is something about making things good for children that appeals to almost everyone. WHEN THE VOLUNTEERS set out in their neighborhoods, they will probably be asked, “How will my money be used?” - a reasonable query from people who often see their contributions sent to other parts of the country. Almost half - 40 per cent - of the donations collected here are used in this area. Francie Buchanan, unit coordinator in obstetrics at the Putnam County Hospital, described aid given to the local hospital. Since 1981 all newborns have been placed in a radiant warmer, a piece of equipment provided by the foundation. Over the past few years three local nurses have used foundation scholarships to attend a High-Risk Mother and Baby course sponsored by Riley Hospital and the IU Medical School and its School of Nursing. In addition, children who are born with defects are supplied with necessary equipment and supplies. To further help the families of central Indiana, generous support is given to the activities of Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. RESEARCH STILL ACCOUNTS for the major share of the March of Dimes dollar. Seeking to find the causes of birth defects and the means of preventing them is a continuing, long-range program. Foundation spokesmen point to some real triumphs: we now have vaccines for rubella and Rh disease, which once killed or damaged thousands of babies. Another milestone is fetal surgery - surgery performed on an unborn baby to correct a birth defect. When the people of the March of Dimes Foundation decided to focus their energies and resources on the fight against birth defects, they knew they were facing a formidable opponent: A group of diseases which were and still are the primary threat to children’s lives and health. As the originators of the door-to-door campaign to raise fuqds, they depend on volunteer marchers and the generosity of the public for their success. Most of the marchers in Greencastle and Cloverdale will be calling early in the afternoon. They will ask, if you can, to contribute to their goal that all children have a healthy start in life.

on their farm. Among advantages listed were better warming of the soil, weed control, water retention, earlier planting, erosion control, fuel and labor saving and less compaction of the soil.

ALSO SPEAKING was Gary Bymaster, who spoke on advantages of using the computer in farming. Information fed in can rapidly provide answers that would be difficult to get otherwise. He brought with him a computer for demonstration.

Dear Abby Daughter'panting' for school attention DEAR ABBY: I am at my wit’s end and don’t know where to turn for help. We have two daughters, 9 and 7. Our 9-year-old has given us a minimum of problems in school and out. The 7-year-old is the problem. She does fairly well in school, but she has presented what I consider a unique problem. I’m really not sure how to put this, but her teacher has told us that her behavior around the little boys at school needs looking into. She pulls up her dress and pulls down her pants. She was sent to the principal and punished for this once and promised not to do it again. Well, she broke her promise, and I don’t know how to handle it. She’s a normal little girl. She goes to church, and we have tried to set a good example at home. We can’t understand why she acts this way. WHAT’S A MOTHER TO DO? DEAR MOTHER: Your little girl is trying to get attention, and is using the most outrageous way she knows to get it. Please take her to a family counselor. Explain the problem to the counselor and leave it to her or him. Your problem may seem unique to you, but it’s a very common “look at me” game most children play at some time in their lives. * * * DEAR ABBY: To quote the letter to you from Christine Jorgensen: “In the past, Abby, you have recommended the Janus Information Facility as a counseling source for transvestites and transsexuals.” Leaving aside transsexualism, why, Dear Abby, is it necessary to refer so-called transvestites for counseling at all? “Transvestite” has become, in the last half-century, a male-only word, and is therefore sexist. Since we don’t refer women for “counseling” for wearing men’s clothes, advocating the need for counseling for men who wear women’s clothes is perpetuating a sexist myth. True sexual equality will never be realized until men are allowed to be as feminine as women are now allowed to be masculine. J.F. IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR J.F.: In the last half-century women started wearing trousers for reasons of convenience rather than compulsion. (“Rosie the Riveter” would look rather silly repairing a fuselage in a skirt.) Men, on the other hand, took to wearing feminine attire because it provided some kind of sexual thrill. Big difference. Counseling helps people to understand and come to terms with their feelings, hence only men who cross-dressed felt the need to be counseled. But even more in need of counseling are those who are unwilling to accept that everyone is entitled to be himself or herself without apologizing. * * * DEAR ABBY: Would you please let the reading public know when the words “further” and “farther” should be used? Most people in the media use “further” when they should use “farther.” We need further information. WORD LOVER DEAR WORD LOVER: You need to look no further than “Watch Your Language” by the late Theodore B. Bernstein: “The general preference is to restrict ‘farther’ to ideas of physical distance, and to use ‘further’ for everything else.” * * * You’re never too old (or too young) to learn how to make friends and be popular. For Abby’s booklet on Popularity, send sl, plus a long, self-addressed, stamped (37 cents) envelope to Abby, Popularity, P.O. Box 38923, Hollywood, Calif. 90038.
