Astrology may add surer beat to rhythm method
A new method of natural birth control based on astrology has tripled the effectiveness of the rhythm method, Judy Nolly, an advocate and practitioner of astrological birth control, said Tuesday night.
Nolly told about 15 persons attending a United Ministries program that the technique had increased the effectiveness of the method from 30 per cent to 80 per cent.
Nolly said astrological birth control had been developed in the early 1960s by two Czechovakian scientists who wanted to reduce abortions without using contraceptive devices or pills.
UNITED WHELLS will provide free emergency transportation to those who have no alternative source of transportation, Moore said. The service will be mainly for low-income persons, she said, and it should also help people for needle回收 the free service.
More said that an attempt was made last year to provide the service, but that it failed because of an insufficient number of volunteers. This time, she said, enough volunteers will be secured before the program is initiated.
The service, United Wheels, is being organized by Headquarters, Inc., a crisis center in Lawrence, and volunteer Holloman House, referred service to several agencies in the area.

"Whoever calls in and says he needs to wear it will probably get a ride." Howard said.
A volunteer service will begin operation of a bus service in the transportation to people in the Lawrence.
Moore said Monday that the service, tentatively scheduled to begin operation April 15, would provide transportation from Lawrence and to Topeka and Kansas City.
Both organizations have been working since November to coordinate United Wheels and to recruit volunteer drivers for the service, according to Anne Moore, coordinator for the community office of Volunteer Clearing House.
Kathy Howard, a staff member of Volunteer Clearing House, said that no one would likely be refused a ride from United Wheels.
ACCORDING TO SHIRLEY REESE, coordinator of volunteers for United Wheels, about 45 drivers had signed up for the service. She said that this number was the minimum to get the program going, and that several more volunteers could be used.

Volunteers to organize ride service
"There will always be people who, if something comes up, won't be able to drive," Reese said. "So we'll always need more volunteers."
In the United States, she said, the method has been tested by Aquarian Research Corporation of Philadelphia with similar results. According to Nolly, since 1970, more than 20,000 women using the method have been studied by the corporation with 98 percent effectiveness of the method reported so far.
Reese said that so far the volunteers were people whom she had personally contacted about the program. She said that others wanting to volunteer could contact her or the community office of Volunteer Clearing House.
WHEN THE PROGRAM begins operating in April, persons needing transportation can call Volunteer Clearing House or Headquarters, Inc., according to Reese. Headquarters will then call a volunteer to provide the transportation, she said.
Moore said that three types of volunteers would be used: those scheduled to drive a certain day each month, those who would be called a day in advance and those living out of town, who would also be called a day in advance.
Transportation costs will be paid by the drivers, Moore said, although Volunteer Clearing House will assist out-of-town drivers in paying their costs.
Moore said United Wheels would operate on weekdays and possibly on Saturdays. She said she anticipated about one request a day for the service.
If a woman wants to calculate her cosmic fertility cycle, she has to know the day, year and approximate time she was born. Nolly said. The woman can then consult an astrologer for the angle of the sun and moon at the time of her birth (the natal angle).
studying links between a woman's natal baby or a difficult pregnancy
Astrology also has been linked to the sex of the child a woman bears, Nolly said. She said that when conception occurred while the moon was in a female sign (Pisces) she was a greater chance, Capricorn or Pisces), there was a greater chance the baby would be a girl.
She said that during some months, a woman's cosmic fertility cycle occurred during her rhythm cycle. During other months however, when the cycles occurred during different weeks, a woman is completely safe for only a week, Nolly said.

Neally said these scientists discovered that every woman had a monthly cosmic fertility cycle based on the position of the moon and the sun at the time the woman was born.
In order for astrological birth control to be successful, Nolly said, women must use a contraceptive.

She said the main reason astrological birth control would fail was that women practiced abstinence during their cosmic cycle, and not during their rhythm or ovulatory cycles.
