Thank heavens I was at the back
of the room. Most of my effort
was concentrated on coordination
as I valiantly attempted to stay
upright in spite of the tangled
mass below my waist which were
my legs (I think.)

After surviving a few “trips”
ind dizzy spells, I decided that I
was progressing quite well. Then
came the abdominal exercises
during which I had to kick start
my lungs on two separate occa.

After one hour, | emerged a
‘new” human being, even if
somewhat disheveled. I distinctly
remember being slightly disap.

My first waking though the
next morning was “Thank heav

night." My entire body was a
mass of pain. Needless to say, I
was unable to undergo any fur
ther “exercise” for at least a
week. All is not lost because
baseball season is here and fool.
ishly, I again decided to “sign
up”. (I REALLY want to be “just

Other effective birth
control methods

Last week I discussed meth
ods of preventing a pregnancy
by using oral contraceptive
pills. This week | shall discuss
the advantages and disadvan
{ages of some other methods of
contraception.

The most effective method
is sterilization, such as a tubal
ligation or a vasectomy. Of
course these methods are irfe
versible, so are only suitable
for couples who have complet
ed their families. After a vasec
tomy, men should confirm a
negative sperm count. About |
in 1,000 couples conceive if
the count is not done. A vasec
tomy can be done using only
local freezing. It is wbout a 30
minute procedure

For a tubal ligation the
women is anaethetised—put to
sleep. Rarely do women get
complications from a tubal lig
ation. Their risk is the same as
for any operation. Women who
have had a tubal should not get
more infections. They also do
not get Premenstrual Syn
drome(PMS) or menstrual
cramps because of the tubal

If a less permanent method
of contraception is needed,
then the oral contraceptive is
the first choice. If a women
chooses not to use hormonal
methods of contraception she
will need to consider a
mechanical device. One fre
quently used is the ‘IntraUterine
Device (IUD)

This is usually a T-shaped
piece of plastic with copper
arms. A doctor must insert the
IUD into the uterus. It pre
vents a fertilized egg from
implanting. It can be left in for
2-4 years. It is not as effective
as the pill (used properly) so
pregnancy is occasionally pos
sible. With an TUD.4 in 100

men get pregnant. They

also available as an injection
“Depot Provera”. This works
the same was as Norplant, but
each injection last only 3
months. So she needs to get an
injection of Depot Provera
every three months

With Depot Provera a
women may take up to two
years to conceive after the last
injection. It's use is mainly for
women who afe not planning a
pregnancy soon. Like those
women using Norplant,
women using Depot Provera
may experience irregular peri-
ods. About half of the women
using Depot Provera stop-hav-
ing periods after 6-8 months of
use. Norplant and. Depot

quite safe. They do not cause
cancer and are effective—only

This precision tool chest is, shall we say,
“precisely” what Do-it-Yourself enthusiasts need to
organize and protect the large investment they
have made in tools and hardware. For those who
spend hours making things for others, it's
something they deserve. If you are one such person

why not build this chest for yourself?

This popular design has all the elements
regularly requested by our readers: lots of space
(it’s 24 inches wide, 19 inches tall and 11 1/4 inches
deep), lots of drawers (13), a flip-up lid for the large

storage compartment on top, brass knobs, handles
and corner protectors ag well as a felt-lined interior.
For ease of construction, we've drawn detailed
plans to guide you through the project and have
included a bill of material, cutting schedule,
diagrams and a dozen photos accompanied by step-
by-step instructions. And, being made almost
exclusively from! plywood, the tool chest is both
easier and less expensive to build than you may
have imagined.
For your copy of the plan for this tool chest, ask
for patter No. 788 and send $8

Plans for a workbench are also
with complete
instructions for our professional
model which is five feet long and
two feet wide with ample work
space and storage for larger tools.
Ask for pattern No. 535. It too is
$11.77. If you are thinking of
designing an entire workshop, ask
also for our book Home
Workshops. This 112-page color
book will show you how to properly
light, ventilate, construct and
equip a full-fledged workshop. Ask
for book No. 2398 and send $15.95.
For both patterns and the book,
send only $35.
