Daughter, 30, wants to know ‘who’s my dad?’ By Abigail Van Buren ® 1*73 *r CDiciw TribuM-N. Y. Newt Sratf., Inc. DEAR ABBY: I am 30 years old and reasonably well adjusted altho I grew up without a father. My mother told me that a few months after she married my father he was killed in the war. It didn’t take too much intelligence to figure out that if my father had really been killed in the war he would have been considered a hero in the eyes of his widow, and she’d have kept his memory alive with pictures, letters and souvenirs to be shared with his family. It also seemed strange to me that I had never met one relative on my father’s side. I have concluded that I am illegitimate. Believe me, I love my mother and I am not judging her regardless of what the facts were, but I would like to know who my father was. Should I ask my mother! CURIOUS DAUGHTER DEAR CURIOUS: You say you “love” your mother, and I’m sure you do. For 30 years you’ve given her no reason to suspect that you doubted her explanation. Leave it that way, dear. DEAR ABBY: I have a 14-year-old daughter who is so boy crazy she worries me sick. All she thinks about is boys. She’s got boys’ names written all over her books. And every piece of paper by the telephone is marked up with initials and boys’ names. When the doorbell rings she runs like lightning to talk to any delivery boy it happens to be. What really bothers me is she lies. I don’t allow her to go in cars with boys so she walks to a girl’s house and the boys meet her with a car there. I found this out by reading her diary. I asked her for the truth and she lied to cover up her lies. How can I get the truth out of her? MRS. G. DEAR MRS. G.: The only reason children lie is because they haven't the courage to tell the truth. Give your daughter that courage by assuring her that no matter what she has done you will understand and forgive her. Perhaps your threats are too frightening and your punishments too severe. Give your child plenty of love and expect the best, and you’ll rarely be disappointed. DEAR ABBY: I am a 29-year-old single woman. I am reasonably happy and normal in every respect, and believe it or not, I am not desperate to get married. Nobody can believe this. I have several relatives who are determined to find a husband for me. They have given my telephone number to dozens of men, from 25 years old to 60! I’ve been called by widowers, bachelors, and men who have been married from one to five times! I have dated any number of these strangers and have found them to be boring, presumptuous, arrogant, immature, and in general a waste of time. When a friend suggests a blind date, I ask the friend to invite both of us to a party so we can meet. But with relatives giving my phone number to every Tom, Dick, and Harry, I am on the spot unless I say, “I’m going with someone,” and I hate to lie. So, what can I do about these well-meaning relatives? NOT THAT DESPERATE DEAR NOT: Treat them as friends, and ask them to invite you and the man they had in mind to a party. Or if a stranger calls who sounds interesting, make a coffee date with him. That way you won’t have to invest a lot of time on a pig in a poke, and he won’t invest a lot of money on a gamble. CONFIDENTIAL TO “S" IN ROSEBURG. ORE.: Tell your “ex” that the key to your home does not go with visitation privileges to see the children, so please return the key. And if he doesn’t, have your locks changed. DEAR ABBY: Recently when my sisters and I were faced with closing the house in which our parents had lived for many years, we came upon several boxes of old pictures and snapshots. Many were of friends our parents had known over the years, but whom we barely knew. We hated to destroy them, even tho they meant nothing to us, so we hit upon the idea of sending them to the families of those involved. In this way we contributed richly to the picture collections of many families. The letters of gratitude we received more than compensated for our efforts. SENTIMENTAL IN ABILENE, TEX. DEAR SENTIMENTAL: What a beautiful idea! CONFIDENTIAL TO WEDDING LIST PROBLEMS IN WATERLOO, IOWA: Do not send an invitation to anyone hoping she will decline. She may not. Probiema? You’ll feel better If yon get It off your chest. For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L. A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. For Abby’s booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding,” send 61 to Abby, Box 69760, Los Angeles, CaL 90069.

Opening lead - jack of clubs. Luck is a huge factor in many hands, but there are times when good play can overcome bad luck. Take this deal where declarer encounters unreasonably bad luck. Let’s say he covers the jack of clubs with the queen, which loses to the ace, and that East returns the queen of spades. South loses the king to the ace and back comes a spade to East’s ten, followed by still another spade.

Declarer ruffs, draws trumps, and later goes down one when he attempts the diamond finesse and it fails. Unquestionably, South is unlucky. The ace of clubs, ace of spades and queen of diamonds were all poorly placed. Were any of these cards in the opposite hand, South would easily have made the contract. Despite all this, declarer should make four hearts. His first play is highly crucial. He should play the five of clubs from dummy, not the queen. It is surely right to credit East with the ace of clubs, considering West’s opening lead of the jack, and following low from dummy is consequently sure to bring home the bacon. Presumably the jack will win the trick, but, whatever West plays next, South is on Easy Street. Thus, suppose he shifts to a trump. Dummy wins and leads the king of clubs through East’s ace, establishing a club trick on which South later discards a spade. Declarer’s only losers prove to be a club, a spade and a diamond. Note that East cannot stop the contract by overtaking the jack of clubs with the ace. In that case South would lose a club and two spades right off the bat, but that would be the end of the road for the defense.
