their physical examinations
before school starts. Dr.
William Dietz is hopeful the
physicals can be done very
soon. "We’re all human and
have a tendency to wait until

It was suggested that the

Fickle?? The riddle of loving
By Karen Blaker, Ph.D.
DEAR DR BLAKER - 1
have a long history of falling
madly in love and then
becoming very disappointed
in my partner after about a
year
My friends laugh and
accuse me of being fickle. But
1 think I must have a serious
problem because I don't know
if 1 will ever be able to make
a commitment.
DEAR READER - You
are definitely not alone in
your problem But most peo-
ple go ahead and make the
commitment while they are
still blindly in love; they expe-
rience the disillusionment
when they feel it is too late to
change their minds.
For the first time, scientists
are trying to demystify the
elation and hungry yearning
characteristic of romantic
love. A doctor from the New
York State Psychiatric Insti-
tute highlights the problem by
proposing the following
riddle:
What do a lover and a
psychiatrist’s Rorschach ink-
blot have in common? You
project your own images onto
each.
Evidently we fall in love
with a “loveblot,” onto which
we project our images of the
perfect mate and the perfect
love affair
After the blindness of love
wears off — usually within
two years - we See the per-
son in a more realistic light. If
our partner cannot live up to
our image — at least to some
degree — the relationship will
begin to deterioriate.
ate love may then be replaced
by a sense of warmth, securi-
ty and intimacy shared with
your partner. And that’s pret-

CHOICES

My advice to you is to learn
to be a little more realistic
during the initial phase of a
romantic relationship. Expect
to feel some change after the
newness wears off.

My problem i*that during
Pregnant woman's needs
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB - Is it
really necessary for a preg-
nant woman to take prenatal
vitamins when she has previ-
ously had eight and nine
pound babies’’ I have several
friends who believe that this
is a factor in causing them to
have big babies and they’re
now doing without them They
eat nutritionally and also
have been taught that getting
fresh air and exercise are
good
DEAR READER - It
depends Whether any woman
needs additional vitamins or
minerals depends entirely on
how much she is getting in her
diet and how much of the vita-
mins and minerals are actual-
ly absorbed In general, most
women do need a little addi-
tional help during pregnancy
A baby does not become too
large because of what the
mother eats His normal size
is dependent upon inherited
characteristics or his own
genes You can cause a baby
to be smaller than its pro-
grammed weight by not eat-
ing enough, or not eating
nutritionaiiv or by smoking
cigarettes Women who have
really large babies are some-
times destined to become
diabetics. Of course, the size
of the baby also depends upon
bow long the pregnancy lasts.
The point is weU illustrated
by the premature baby which
is characteristically small.
Two of the main needs for
improved nutrition during
pregnancy are increased
amounts of calcium because
the baby's skeleton will
demand it, and increased
amounts of iron because the
baby’s blood needs iron to
form its own hemoglobin for
its red blood cells.
Now if you don’t get enough
calcium, you’ll lose some
from your own skeletal sys-
tem which is pretty hard on
your teeth. Before women’s
nutrition was improved dur-
ing pregnancy it was com-
monly said a woman lost one
tooth for every pregnancy
The recommended daily
dietary allowance of calcium
for pregnant women is K00
mg of calcium a day. When
she is not pregnant, during the
childbearing years the normal
woman may get by on as little
as 800 mg a day
There are also additional
vitamin requirements. After
all. it is true that you’re eat-
ing for two instead of one.
It is also important to the
developing baby for the
mother to get an adequate
amount of protein in the diet.
A pregnant woman usually
needs 30 grams more of good
quality protein a day than a
nonprepant woman, or a
total of at least 76 pams a
day
You’ll need twice as much
iron as the normal woman
needs during her childbearing
years during a pregnancy.
According to the National
Academy of Sciences’ Food
and Nutrition Board, the
amount of iron required is in
excess of what you can expect
to get through dietary means
and supplemental iron is
recommended. If you don’t
get the iron you are more like-
ly to have anemia problems
during your pregnancy.
I’m sending you The Health

Diet, Recommended Daily
Dietary Allowances (RDA).

minerals for pregnant and
lactating women.
The additional increase in
vitamin needs, as distinct
from the mineral needs, is
minor and could probably be
met easily with an adequate
diet.

(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN )
"If I take a vitamin pill, it
won’t matter what 1 eat."
There's a false sense of
security connected with taking
vitamin pills, but the fact is, no
pill can provide the food fiber
and trace elements one needs
every -day.
Under certain conditions such
as pregnancy, illness or special
diets, we sometimes need extra
vitamins and minerals. But
these extra nutrients can best
come from eating little extra
amounts of the foods that
supply the missing nutrients,
rather than from vitamin pills,
according to Dairy Council, Inc.
dietitians.
Vitamins are not something
to buy at the grocery store and
swallow at random for "good
health,” they say. Without the
guidance of a physician or
dietitian, there’s danger of not
knowing which vitamin or
vitamins are lacking in ■ their
diet.
In one study of teenagers in
Idaho, 28 out of 100 students
were taking vitamin pills,
principally B-complex pills. A
study of their diets showed that
only two of the 28 had poor diets,
which were lacking in calcium
and ascorbic acid (vitamin C),
not B-vitamins.
Sometimes people feel that
since a little is good, a lot must
be better, and take more than
one pill. The fact is, for a
vitamin to work as a vitamin in
your body, it must combine with
protein in the cells. There is
only so much protein available,
and once it is all linked with
vitamins, any excess vitamins
you take in cannot possibly
funtion as a vitamin. The only
way it can function is as a
chemical, or drug, and this can
be unhealthy.
Studies are going on all the
time to determine the
relationships of the various
vitamins to special body fun-
tions.
Extra large doses —
megadoses — of vitamins are
potentially toxic. Rut smaller
amounts of vitamins in the form
of food or pills can be helpful.
During pregnancy, for
example, doctors and
nutritionists agree that a
pregnant woman usually needs
extra calcium, and more of
vitamins C, A, B1 and B2, which
are mostly found in fresh fruits,
vegetables, and dairy products.
Women who take birth control
pills often have a greatly in-
creased need for vitamin B6,
found in cow’s milk. This
vitamin helps the body use fat
and helps the nervous system
run smoothly. Insufficient B6
intake in these woman may
result in certain symptoms of
depression.
Smoking can reduce the
body’s amount of vitamin C,
found mainly in fresh fruit.
Scientific studies have shown
that the blood levels of vitamin
C were as much as 30 percent
lower in smokers than in non-
smokers.
Everyone’s diet should in-
clude a wide variety of foods.
No single food supplies all fifty
needed nutrients, and many
nutrients must work in pairs to
be effective. Choosing a variety
of foods from the four main food
groups is the best way to get all
the nutrients we need. The food
groups, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
include vegetable—fruit;
bread—cereal; mjlk—cheese;
and meat—eggs. (

FRIEND OF SINNERS
Behold ... a friend ol lav collectors and sinners.
Matthew 11:19
A\UI( lords enemies were being derisive when they
^ J called Him a friend of sinners. Most of them scru-
pulously avoided the dishonest tax collectors and
the harlots, or they treated them condescendingly. That’s
why they ueie dumbfounded when they observed )csus
eating with such men and women They may have thought
I le-was not living up to the standard of the man described
in I'salm I, who maintains a discreet separation from the
-'"ungodly the sinners, and the scornful. These religious
hypocrites did not realize that it s possible to be a friend
of evildoers without being influenced by them or giving
lac it approval to their sinful conduct.
A snvall-town mayor was known for his godliness and
genuine interest in others. One day he warmly greeted a
young man who had just returned to tire community from
prison. Six months later the youth stopped him on the
street and said, "Sir, 1 want to thank you for what you did
for me." "What do you mean?” asked the mayor. "When I
came home ftpm the penitentiary, you spoke to me in
a way that made me realize you really cared for me. Your
concern turned me around, and I have accepted Christ as
my Savior.” I ittle did that mayor realize at the time what
an impact his kind words had made upon the young man.
We cannot fulfill our calling as Christians if we keep
ourselves aloof from the unsaved, or manifest a holier-
than-thou attitude. We must not be their companions, but
we can show them love without encouraging them in their
sin or participating in it ourselves, like Jesus, each of us
should be a friend of sinners, —H.V.L.
I would be friend of all—the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift.
I would he humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift. —Walter
1HOT: We can measure our likeness to Christ by our sensitivity
to the pain and trials of others.
