Sex education in the classroom
By ROBERT
WALLACE, Ed.D.
Copley Newt Service
Dr. Wallace: b it true that
they are going to ban tex ev-
ocation from the classroom?
If this is tree, when will kids
get the necessary facts?
Most parents wait antil it is
too late or they are too em-
barrassed themselves to do
the Job correctly. — Julie,
Seattle, Wash.
Juiie: Each school district
regardless of the state or
province makes its own cur-
riculum. This is usually done
by school personnel and ap-
proved by the school board
When dealing with sex ed-
ucation, this process usually
works in reverse. Some par-
ent complains to a school
board member who then
convinces the entire board of
education (which has the
final say) that the sex educa-
tion program should be
revised or eliminated from
the classroom.
It is entirely possible for
sex education to be banned
in Seattle, but taught in
Everett or Tacoma. Your
high school principal can
give you the answer to your
question.
Dr. Wallace: I just asked a
girl to go oat with me but
sbe refused. When I asked
ber why, she said that sbe
did not know me very well.
Sbe is in one of my classes
and when I say, “Hi,” to ber
she says, “Hi,” back.
I really would like to go
out with ber and I don’t be-
lieve she gave me a good
enough reason for not dating
me. Could you please give
me a suggestion or two? —
Tony, Nashua, N.H.
Tony: I’d make it a point
to talk to her every school
day (more than just, “hi") for
two weeks, then ask her out
again. If she refuses you
again, than chalk it up to ex-
perience and look for anoth-
er girl who will appreciate
your charm.
Dr. Wallace: My sister has
a terrible problem. She is so
overweight and sloppy look-
ing, that I refuse to be seen
with her in public. She is
only 10 and I'm 13, but sbe
could not care less bow she
looks. My parents eat the
correct foods and are thin
and so am I.
My sister always sneaks
the wrong foods and eaU
junk food for lunch. My
mom says that no one can
help ber until sbe decides
that she has a problem and
wants to do something about
it.
is what my mother said
true and if it isn’t, what can
we do as a family to help
her? — Claudia, Burlington.
N.C.
Claudia What mother
says is about 95 percent true
and yes. the family can help
Offer encouragement not
discouragement, keep nu-
tnent-nch snacks available
at home and ban fattening
junk foods Offer small
rewards for lost weight, and
start being seen with sis in
public, regardless'

Recurrent acid indigestion
DEAR DR LAMB - I have
had an acid problem since 1
was a young man The only
time 1 have relief is after my
meals. I don't have the condi-
tion constantly When I do
have the symptoms. 1 must
get up in the middle of the
night and drink some warm
milk 1 would like to know if
there is some medication that
would counteract the acid
who have ulcers
Your emphasis on getting
up at night also may mean
that you have leakage of your
stomach contents into your
lower esophagus while you
are lying down The burning
in the lower part of your eso-
phagus can occur then even if
there is no ulcer
You could use any number
of antacids that you could buy
health

DEAR READER - Many

I think it is an abuse of these

digestion, but if you have
current episodes it is a good
ea to consult with vour

iiickly Untreated ulcers can
leed, perforate or enlarge
suiting in larger scarring
nd deformity when they do

Your symptoms are strong-
r suggestive of a response to
cidity — which could be the
Iscomfort of an ulcer
esponding to acid. Meals
(ten relieve such symptoms
history of getting up at
ight to get some milk for
slief is common in people
products to use them on a reg
ular basis without a medical
examination Nevertheless. I
am sending you The Health
Letter number 10-4, Use and

the basic information you
have asked for Others who

For regular treatment the
liauid antacids are far more
effective than the pills Mod
ern antacids that are not
absorbed are much safer than
the persistent use of baking
soda, once a popular home
remedy

from the mail the Food and

It is synthesized in various
ways, one of which starts wuh
sugar Sodium ervthorbate is
an antioxidant whose color
fixative properties are used in
cured meats to keep them
from turning brown or other
wise changing color Its use
also enables processors to
reduce the amount of nitrile
that they would otherwise
have to use to preserve meat

sound to some people like
earth bait, ervthorbate is
not a fancy name fqr earth

DEAR READER - Your

his mother and his home with
the other boys And at his age
that reaction is not unusual
It's true that he won t have
any friends left if he continues
bossing them around but tell-

change his behavior
Accept the fact that, in this
situation he probably will
never be able to act like the
other boys, because you are

everything else I have made
so far and know for certain
that I love learning to sew
But it s gotten to the point
where I now avoid attending
the classes because 1 am so
tired of the skirt and don t like
the way it looks on me ! will
never wear it
It seems silly to quit
because of one failed project
but that s what I feel like
doing Any suggestions'*
DEAR READER - Yes
Unless the sewing teacher will
not let you continue if you
don’t complete each and eve-
ry project you start, tbere is
another solution to your prob-
lem Stop working 00 the skirt
and start something ebe.
At some point in the future
you may want to finish if or
even throw it away . Or some-
one in your sewing daas
might want to finish it and
keep it for her own wardrobe.
Continuing to learn how to
sew seems mote important to
me than finishing any ooe par-

DEAR DR LAMB - 1 was
losing weight rapidly and the
doctor found out through a
blood test that I had an
overactive thyroid I was put
on Tapazole for six months
and that corrected if Now six
months later it is starting to
act up again 1 am not sup
posed to use salt because of
high blood pressure, but I read
that you must have iodine for
your thyroid to function well
fs there any source of
iodine I would be able to lake
other than iodized sail" I
would rather regulate this
thyroid with natural products
than with medicine
DEAR READER An
iodine deficiency usually
causes a low thyroid function
and may cause a goiter
Iodine drops are sometimes
used to prepare for thyroid
surgery but if you have an
overactive thyroid simply
increasing your dietary intake
of iodine will not solve your
problem
Nevertheless, to answer
your question, the main other
source of iodine is sea food
And that is good food to help
avoid fattv-eholesterol depo-
sits as well If you really-
needed iodine you might also
want to use kelp, a sea weed
rich in iodine But I strongly
suggest you follow your
doctor's program for you
Overactive thyroid problems
do fend to recur and that is
one of the difficulties in man
aging such cases
