Most of the modern apartments are very small and not every family is lucky enough to have a granny nearby. Nor are there enough nursery schools to aid

working mothers.

The result is that Hungary’s

Today’s Hungarian youth, not j unlike its Western counterpart j is interested in seeing the world,

television and the auto.

Both halves of the average statistics, an abortion is peryoung married couple work to i n Hungary every three make these comforts available, nriinutes. In 1962 the number of I abortions was 20% higher than the total of live births. There

were 129,957 that year.

Although abortions were legalized shortly after the liberation of Hungary in 1945 (due | to the many cases of rape by “liberating” Mongolian soldiers), during the 1950’s birth control was a forbidden subject. Doctors performing abortions | were liable to seven years imprisonment and loss of their i license. Contraceptives a 1 s o ;

! Although since 1956 and es- ! pecially within the past twoj years birth preventive measures are available, they are relatively ! unknown in the vast rural areas ! of the country. Thus, abortion | remains the most prevalent j method of birth control. A pregnant woman who does j not want her child can appear 1 before the local AB, abortion

Hungarian doctors and statisticians now are urging that youth be fully instructed in not only the facts of life but in the love of children. All agree, however, that the woman should have the right to determine the number and spacing of her children to their and her best advantage. The situation in Hungary threatens to become even worse within the next 30 rears when the number of active young workers will be the lowest and the number of retired persons the highest. Thus the government and schools are pushing a campaign for more babies in Hungary,

hoping for success despite the rising standard of living which has so far brought cars but few babies.

Reptilmania Slithers Along

NEW YORK UPI — Make way for reptilmania—a new way of talking that’s inspired by all the reptile-looking togs and accessories now popular. Reptilmania for sneaker is snaker; for kooky, it’s crocky; for babydoll, it's crockadoll. The craze for reptile started in the rarified world of haute couture with alligator coats, lizard hats, snake shoes. It descended to medium price

with mock crock and fake snake, the cheaper pressed leathers designed to look like real snake. Now there's an aerosol product that sprays a reptile pattern on shoes. It goes on like a polish but breaks up into the snake look. Manufacturer of same reports teen-agers are spraying the stuff on sweat shirts, knee socks, hair bows, loose-leaf notebooks, and telephones. (Lady Esquire).
