“My husband is a good
audience and supporter.”
A native of Port Arthur,
Mrs. Trotter began playing
the harp at age nine with the
urging of her father, 0. L
Lantz.
Lantz as director of the
Port Arthur High School
band was fiercely competi-
tive with the Beaumont high
school band. Consequently
when Lantz heard that Beau-
mont was using harps, he
was determined to get one
for the Prot Arthur band.
••To get a harp, he had to
make one himself," she said.
“And because I was at home,
I was the likely one to play
it." ,
"Dad visited the factory
and took the measurement!
• on the harp and studied hoa
to make it,” she said. “Il
took him one year to build
the single action harp nut ot
» hirdseye maple.
- "He even made a steam
box to bend the wood. From
hardware stores and metal
shops, he obtained the
material to make the tools he
needed"
When the harp was com-
pleted, Mrs. Trotter began
taking lessons from a
teacher in Beaumont.
"After two years, I
outgrew this harp musically
and needed a harp that
played in all keys with a
complete pedal system.
During high school Mrs.
Trotter participated in the
big production numbers at
halftime during football
games. A member of the all-
girl orchestra, she per-
formed for civic Clubs,
churches and school events.
“My dad made a clarinet
from a plastic water hose
and two mouth pieces and I
accompanied him on ihe
piano for the tape
recordings. He sent them to
the Garry Moore Show “I've
Got A Secret.” Lantz was
invited to participate and
appeared on the show with
full orchestra accompani-
ment.”i )

“Look. She’s patting her
tummy and panting like a
puppy, and it seems to do her
good!” ... from "Thank
You Dr. Lamaze" by
Marjorie Karmel.
When Dr. Fernand
Lamaze imported the child-
birth technique from Russia,
he not only adapted it to the
French life style, but added
improvements which are
included In the method to-
day. li ..
Besides the education of
prospective parents in the
physiological and psycholo-
gical aspects, the Lamaze
method teaches exercises for
prenatal preparation and
breathing techniques to aid
in labor and delivery. The
brain can only receive one
stimulus in its original
intensity. The goal is to
recondition the body and to
create a new center of
concentration causing the
awareness of pain to become
peripheral.
The., exorcises are
primarily to teach muscle
.control. In them the husband
or instructor will give the
commands “contract,
relax” to teach the expectant
mother to control her
muscles on command.
Even though these exer-
cises are not used hi labor
And delivery, they condition
the woman to relax and not
expend her energies on
tensing muscles and allow-
ing the uterus to work at
optimum conditions.
' Three types of breathing
are also taught in the course.
The first is the slow deep
breathing, expanding the rib
cage, not the stomach. This
is used in the early stages of
labor: Like the other types of
on a i
room,
ended with a
deep cleansing breath.
The secortd stage of
breathing is called panting.
It is a rapid superficial
breathing done in the throat.
This is used when the chest
breathing has become
ineffective. It includes an
acceleration and decelera-
tion in rate to tide the woman
over the peak of the contrac-
tion.

ience in childbirth.
Third in the breathing
stages is the pant-blow. It
combines the superficial
breathing with a forceful *
exhalation every four to
eight breaths. This is used in
the transitional stage of
labor aiding in controlling
the desire to push that would
cause the baby to be
delivered too fast and tom
tissue in the mother.
In both practice and labor,
the husband tiffies each
contraction, whether simu-
lated or real calling out the ,
fifteen second intervals. In
practice this indicates when
to change breathing
techniques. In labor it is a
gauge to the length of the
contraction.
Combined with the
breathing is the “effleu-
rage” or light massage.
Cupping the hands, the
woman lightly 'traces her
fingers from under her
abdomen, out and up and
repeating. This releases ten-
sion during a contraction and
provides another point of
concentration as well as
another stimuli to be
received by the brain.
Several exercises are
included for general condi- .
tioning of the body.

People watching is one of my favorite sports.
Last week I spotted a woman who fascinated me. She
was extremely attractive and had that (indefinable quali-
ty that implied wealth and good taste.
She was completely in command of her four story club
sandwich- no small task - and never dropped a crumb
while eat|ng lunch. Everything about her seemed right.
■■ Her dress was simple, evidently expensive and in good
taste. Hef’ hair was perfect and her makeup was flawless.
As I watched from the comer of my eye I realized that
what fascinated me was that she did not seem aware that
she was doing everything right.
My mind raced to the list of rules for poised young ladies.
Somehow the rules became a list of “don’ts” when it got to
Don’t blow your nose in public.
Don’t dig in your purse as if you have lost something.
Don’t chew gum or use toothpicks in public
Don’t fiddle with your hair or clothes in public.
The classic example mothers used in my day was Queen
Elizabeth.
“You never see Queen Elizabeth fooling with her hair or
yanking at her waistband while reviewing troops or
Christening a ship,” they said.
So I sat at the local greasy spoon thinking about Queen
Elizabeth and watching my new idol prepare to leave.
Then to my horror as she approached the cash register I
saw her yank at her wig and jam a toothpick into her
mouth while she started digging furiouslyimher imported
Italian handbag.
Then she smiled with relief as she pulled out her rhine-
stone studded cat eye sun glasses, yanked at her waistband
and walked out of my s’ght forever.
