Nine "do's" can help the
expectant mother be good to
herself and her baby.
"Every mother-to-be
should consult a doctor
during pregnancy-to have
the advantage of a medical
program tailored to meet
her individual needs.
"Also, there are general
procedures considered
appropriate for most ex-
pectant mothers,"
--Regular visits to the
doctor are a must-beginning
when the first signs of
pregnancy occur.
Between visits, jot down -
questions to ask the doctor
during the visit.
On most visits, the ex-
pectant mother's weight will
be recorded, her blood
pressure checked and urine
tested. In later months, the
doctor will liaten to the
baby's heartbeat.
- A pregnant woman is
responsible for eating a
balanced diet-important for
mother and baby.
For additional help on
what to eat, the specialist
advises expectant mothers
♦0 contact their county
Extension agent (home
economics) located in or
near the county courthouse.
-- Weight-conscious
pregnant women are smart
women. Be sure to follow the
doctor's instructions on the
right amount of weight to
gain--or lose — during
pregnancy.
- Remember that the
The Cajuns, descendants of
Acadian refugees from Canada,
have a mixed white, Indian and
Negro ancestry They preserve
French-Canadian folk customs
and speak a distinctive French
.dialect
Although most male animals
of the deer family are called
bucks, the male red deer is a
stag and the male elk or moose
is a bull

"blues" or "touchy feelings"
are typical during preg-
nancy, although many ex-
pectant women feel better
during this period than at
any previous time.
A pregnant woman can
feel anxious about many
things. Sharing these
feelings with her husband
may ease worrisome or hurt
feelings.
- Exercise in moderate
amounts is good for most
women-especially pregnant
ones. Discuss the right kind-
and amount -with the
doctor.
- More rest and sleep are
required during pregnancy.
Short rest periods taken
frequently are better than
resting when fatigued.
Regular eight-hour nights of
rest are healthy.
- Dental health is im-
portant-just as general
physical health.
Be sure the dentist knows
about your pregnancy-as a
precaution for X-ray or
medication.
- Travel or employment
may be curtailed, especially
in the later months of
pregnancy.
The doctor will say when
to stop travel or work and
when they can be resumed
after the baby is born.
- Comfortable clothing is a
real issue during pregnancy.
Loose, but attractive,
garments are a must-so that
blood circulation is not
hindered.

'Star Wars'
Raking In
Millions
I/)S ANGELES -
The good men wear white,
the bad guys wear black and
there's no sex, character
development or social
criticism. But "Star Wars"
has managed to break
theater records all over the
country, and to send 20th
Century Fox's fortunes
rocketing.
By Monday, 12 days after
its premiere, the George
Lucas science fiction epic
that took $9 million to make
lad grossed $5.2 million in 45
theaters.
The biggest money-
making movie of all time
was "Jaws," which took in
$192 million. "Jaws" grossed
$21 million in its first 10
days, but that was in 409
theaters.
The day before "Star
Wars" opened, Fox stock
was selling for $11.75 per
share. When trading closed
Monday, it was at $21.
"We can't see any other
reason than 'Star Wars' for
the way the stock has taken
off," said Phillip Myers,
Fox's director of corporate
affairs.
The country apparently
was ready for an escapist
movie.
Among the good guys in
the flick are two robots, See-
Threepio (C3PO) and Artoo-
Detoo (R2D2), and a hairy
creature named Chewbecca,
who co-pilots a space
cruiser.
The human hero's name is
Luke Skywalker. He's
played by Mark Hamill.
Skywalker finds that he
stands between the
villainous Galactic Empire
and the destruction of
freedom in the galaxy. With
the help of a laser-like sword
called a "light saber," he
comes to the rescue.
The special effects for all
this have won critical raves.
Theatergoers are "seeing
something they can't
possibly live as a normal
human being," said Ashley
Boone, marketing vice
president for Fox, who is
looking longingly to the end
of the month when "Star
Wars" goes into hundreds
more theaters.
Albert Szabo, the 58-year-
old manager of the Avco
Cinema Center in Los
Angeles, said, "I have never
seen anything like this in 30
years in the business. They
are filling the theater for
every single performance.
This isn't a snowball, it's an
avalanche."

WASHINGTON - Eat-
ing daffodils may be hazardous
to your health These and many
popular flowers, ornamental
shrubs and colorful weeds are
poisonous, says National Geo-
graphic.
Young children are particu-
larly vulnerable, but even
adults often become unthinking
nibblers of poisonous plants
"For many it's just sort of an
automatic thing to do," said
one naturalist You snap off a
blade of grass or whatever and
absent-mindedly stick it in your
mouth."
Commonplace plants like wis-
teria, Carolina jasmine, aza-
leas, rhododendron and even
honeysuckle have poisonous
parts. The bright berries of pri-
vet hedges, pokeweed, orna-
mental yew trees, mistletoe
and night shade i;an be dan-
gerous if not deadly Glossy
ieaves of English ivy or poin-
settia plants or a twig of olean-
der may be fatal

Texas' Economic
Growth Surging
DALIES, Tex.
Texas' economic growth in
1977 will surpass that of the
rest of the nation by a
significant margin, ac-
cording to predictions of the
Texas Commerce Ban-
cshares Inc. of Houston and
the First City Ban-
corporation Inc.
"Consistent increases in
production, employment and
population produce growing
local markets and op-
portunity," reports "Texas
'77", the Texas Commerce
forecast publication. "As
state output increases, so
does the level of income
generated by that produc-
tion."
Texas residents should
have ample means for
"increased spending and
improved standard of
living," according to the
forecast.
"Texas '77" reports the
outlook for the Dallas-Fort
Worth area is bright,

you can control the amount of electricity yo j use. a large part of the control over your
bill is in your hands.

you spend for electricity

equal to at least an R-19 rating in the
ceiling and R-11 in the walls Insulation
pays Tor itself within a few years in re-
duced heating and cooling costs
• Weatherstrip windows and doors, then
keep them closed
• Eliminate excess heat with draperies.
storm windows, reflective films, window
shades and overhangs
• Set air conditioning thermostat at the highest
comfortable setting, around 78 degrees
• Clean or replace air conditioner filters every
month or—even better—every two weeks
• Have leaky hot water faucets repaired immediately, they waste both water and the
energy used to heat it.
• Check the temperature control on your
water heater For most needs, the cor-
rect setting is 135 degrees; water heat-
ers used for baths only may be set at
110 to 120 degrees

to cut your use of electricity—and the size
of your bill
