DEAR ABBY: I am a volunteer with the Society for the Prevention ot Cruelty to Animals. So far this summer we have had several cases ol pets who were overcome by heat prostration after having been left in automobiles parked in the hot sun. A few years ago you had a terrific piece in your column about this problem. I am enclosing it. Would you please consider a rerun? EILEEN K.

If you must leave your pet locked in a parked car —leave him home! P.S. My pet consultant says, “NEVER park a car in the sun —even with the windows open —if a pet is inside.” DEAR ABBY: 1 have a strange problem. Should 1 be the matron of honor at my ex husband’s wedding? 1 know the woman he’s marrying (slightly) but we’re really not all that close. I neither like nor dislike her. I still can’t figure out why she asked me. My husband has asked our two children, ages 5 and 9, to be in the wedding party, so, of course, they will be there. I am not carrying the torch for my ex, but I have no desire to attend this wedding. How should I handle it? I don't want to make up any lies. EX WIFE WITH NO REGRETS

Hints from Heloise Some slick advice on disposing of old car oil

DEAR HELOISE: I must comment on the hint suggested by you concerning the disposal of car( crankcase) oil. The lady made an excellent suggestion of using the same plastic container to dispose of the oil. However, 3he should be aware, as the rest of the population, that the dumping of oil, even in designated trash areas, is contaminating our environment. Dumping used oil in the garbage and eventually landfill is polluting and in many places, illegal! Our group has had a nationwide program to encourage the public to return the oil, in a clean container, to service stations. These stations return it to recycling acilities who transfer the oil nto reusable car oil, heating *il, and oil for other uses. We are encouraging all eople to find service stations /hich will accept their oil. Almost any gas station has a holding tank for used oil and will take it off your hands. So

please, let’s all pitch in and help each other. Marsha and Judy * ★ * Marsha and Judy, I hope you don’t mind but I have combined your letters so that I could include both, as they are very good and really do get the message across. We checked this out and many places do take old oil Heloise DEAR HELOISE* I keep a bowl in my refrigerator to put all of the little ketchups, mustards, etc., that my family does not use while at the fast food restaurants. In my cupboard is a smaller version for all the sugars, salts, peppers, etc. You’d be surprised how many you normally just throw away! They’re perfect to put in lunches or picnics, or if you just plain run out of this or that . It really is a shame to throw these “little amounts” away, because little amounts add up

DEAR EX: Why lie? Decline with thanks. It’s not necessary to explain why. DEAR ABBY: Did a letter in your column ever ring a bell with us! Upon retiring and moving to San Diego several years ago, we started to hear from acquaintances from our home state. They said, “We’ve heard so much about San Diego —we’d love to come out and spend a week or so with you —seeing the sights and enjoying the weather.” Here’s how we handled it: We’d write back saying, “We’re so happy you’re planning to come to San Diego. When you get here and yet settled, be sure to give us a ring. We’d love to get together for a drink.” You’d be surprised at the number of people who wrote back to say, “We’ve changed our plans ... we’ll take a rain check.” We enjoy guests, but not the type who invite themselves. NO FREELOADERS IN S.D.

to “big amounts”! Mrs. Laura Tall ★ ★ ★ LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: One Sunday afternoon while hubby was sleeping, I, as a new bride, decided to surprise him with a beautiful chocolate cake. The recipe called for a cup of coffee, so that’s just what I put in a cup of grounds, that is! I had assumed the cake was to be crunchy. Needless to say it was so crunchy we had to throw it out. - DUMB BUNNY ★ ★ ★ DEAR HELOISE: I was putting away my garden hoe and rake after planting onion sets. The sets had come in one of those mesh bags so I used the empty bag to clean the hoe and rake. It really did clean the mud and dirt off. I’ll never throw away those mesh bags again.

HINTS FROM HIM DEAR HELOISE: I have a hint that some of your faithful readers may be able to use. I got into bed the other night just to remember I forgot to close the curtains. I got up to turn on the light and couldn’t find the switch. The next morning I took some glow paint I had and put a dot on the switch and two drops on the pull string of the curtains. Now I don’t have to turn on the lights to find the pull string. A Single Man ★ * * DEAR HELOISE: On very hot nights, my son likes to sleep in shorts and Tshirts. Several shorts had lost the gripper fasteners and I was ready to throw them into the rag bag, although they were perfectly good otherwise. So I took white twill tape, (any suitable ties will do) and stitched it on in place of the fasteners. Mrs. Adele
