Dear Abby A thrift stop saves you gas DEAR ABBY: My friend and I are having a friendly argument. She says that while waiting in a long line for gas, you can conserve gas by turning off your engine and starting it up again as you inch along. I say you waste more gas that way. Can you get the facts? CALIFORNIA PROBLEM DEAR CALIFORNIA: Although Californians are the first in the nation to suffer gas pains, I fear that by the time this hits print it will have become a national pain in the tank. A spokesman at General Motors says: “It takes very little energy to start an engine that's already warm. You’re better off to start it up and shut it down again even if you are stopped for only 30 seconds.” So, don't be fuelish. Turn off your engine while standing still. DEAR ABBY: My daughter is planning her wedding and has asked me to be her matron of honor! I am overwhelmed. In fact, I was so touched I wept when she asked me. Now for my problem: I’ve attended weddings where the father of the groom was his best man, but I've never heard of the mother of the bride being her matron of honor. When I told some of my friends about it, they all reacted the same way? “Oh, really? (Incredulous laughter) She couldn't have been serious!” Do you think my being the mother of the bride and the matron of honor would call too much attention to myself? After all, it's supposed to be the bride’s day. Should I accept this honor? When I told my daughter I was thrilled that she wanted me but perhaps she should reconsider and ask one of her girlfriends instead, she said, "Why, Mom? You are my best friend.” What would you do? BETWIXT DEAR BETWIXT: I would accept with pleasure. DEAR ABBY: I hope it’s not too late to tell you how I got back with my ex. I was another foolish woman who filed for divorce, hoping my husband would beg me to reconsider. Well, he was as stubborn as I, and before I knew it, the divorce was final. x Six months later I decided to dry my tears and put my life together, so I took a course in creative writing at the local college. The professor gave us a weird assignment: “Write a letter to your worst enemy and forgive him in 500 words.” I wrote a letter to my ex. It was so good I decided to send him a copy. Immediately after mailing it I was filled with doubts. I felt like a fool, but it was too late. Two days later he was at my door —all smiles. He had been as miserable as I and wanted to try again. Moral: Some people write better than they talk. TONGUE-TIED TAMMY CONFIDENTIAL TO “HATES GOSSIP IN BLOOMINGTON”: When Mary talks about Susie, you can learn more about Mary than Susie. Getting married? Whether you want a formal church wedding or a simple do-your-own-thing ceremony, get Abby’s new booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding.” Send $1 and a long, stamped (28 cents) self-addressed envelope to Abby: 132 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif.

Temperament follows temperature

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) When summer temperatures heat up, tempers may well follow suit, says a Purdue University psychologist. Professor Robert A. Baron’s studies of heat and its effects on humans have led him to the conclusion that overall, people generally are more sluggish mentally during the hotter months. They can adjust to hotter temperatures as they can to higher altitudes but only to a point. “It’s an automatic physiological thing like the stress of noise,” he explained. Dangerous for kids SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Keep nuts especially roasted nuts away from chil.dren under 5 years old, says Dr. Bernstein. Bernstein, chairman of the University Medical Center’s Department of Otorhinolaryngology, says he and other doctors in his department treat many people who have accidentally inhaled solid particles such as nuts, many of them children. A child died recently because peanuts accidentally became lodged in his breathing passages, he said. What if, despite all precautions, an accident happens? “If a child is choking, try to have someone call an ambulance or do it yourself if no one else is around,” he said. “Then hold the child upside down and slap him on the back sharply several times. “If the child turns blue and stops breathing you should consider mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.”

“People can only take so much.” Baron, a professor of psychological sciences, has been studying the impact of heat on humans for the last eight years. He and his colleagues have compiled instances of serious group violence in the United States between 1967 and 1971 and determined from their data that aggression peaked at temperatures of around 81 to 85 degrees. “There is a definite relationship between heat and aggression,” said Baron. “From about the upper 60s Farenheit through the mid 80s, people become in-

creasingly aggressive. However, after that point, people become lethargic psychologically.” The biggest upswing in violence occurred when temperatures ranged from 76 to 85 degrees, he said. But once the mercury climbed above 85 degrees, aggression took a downturn, he said. “In other words, after a certain point in temperature, people feel so rotten, the last thing on their minds is aggression.” Baron also examined the role high temperatures plays in daily irritations. He concluded

that if you drive a non-air conditioned car during the Slimmer, chances are that yOur boiling point is far lower than the motorist who travels in cool comfort. Baron made that observation after studying drivers’ responses during hot weather when they had to wait behind a planted car 15 minutes after a stoplight turned green. Irritation and low tolerance were measured by drivers Ironking their horns at the car. Baron noted that drivers in airconditioned cars who sat behind the planted auto honked &ss than people whose cars didn't have air-conditioning. *,
