Dear Abby Bedroom Babe Ruth acquires fan club DEAR ABBY: Please tell EXHAUSTED IN HONOLULU —the 63 year old wife who complained that her 58-year-old husband of only five months was an “absolute sex machine" and that his demands were exhausting—to send him out my way. I live in Waipahu, Hawaii, and I would certainly appreciate a man with his drive. Mv husband of 37 years doesn't believe in romantic build ups, candlelight dinners or wine. Just “Boom!" (And his "booms" came about as often as World Wars!) Just tell EXHAUSTED to put her husband in a car and drive down Waipahu Street and I’ll be waiting for him along with my two lit ties ones —one kid from each World War! WAITING IN WAIPAHU DEAR WAITING: Although your offer was one of the first, I received many. Head on: DEAR ABBY: This is for EXHAUSTED IN HONOLULU: Our bridge club of three tables meets every Thursday. We are between 40 and 75 years old. We would be very happy to help this woman solve her problem by offering our assistance on an odd even basis every day except Thursday, our club day. Each of us could rotate on eight hour shifts, or be available four days on and four days off—like firemen. We ail lead very active lives but can manage most any schedule to help a sister in distress. Bless that poor unfulfilled man. lie's only 58. May he have many more happy years and die with a smile on his face. Sign us ... LAKE ALUVA-WAUNNA MANNA DEAR ABBY: EXHAUSTED IN HONOLULU should be married to my husband. He's a nice looking man, 49, and he’s been too tired for lovemaking for as long as I can remember. But he’s not too tired to play tennis, jog, ski cross country, and disco dance by the hour. We sleep in a king size bed and he stays as far away from me as he can get without falling off the edge. I’m 45, neat and clean, have a nice figure and not obnoxious in any way. HUNGRY EORLOVE IN COLORADO DEAR ABBY: Thanks for printing that letter from EXHAUSTED IN HONOLULU. Her letter made my day. At last an honest woman who isn’t ashamed to admit that she could do with a lot less sex than her husband. I thought I was the only woman in the world who felt that way. I’m a widow, but when my husband was living I thought sex was one of the most overrated things in the world. What a lot of mess and bother for something that lasts 10 seconds! If EXHAUSTED would like to meet a 64-year-old woman who shares her love for Hawaiian music and island flowers, please give her my address. I live in Hilo, and we have a lot in common. NO LONGER EXHAUSTED

Makin'things Homemade craft serves several purposes in water

By STEVIE BALDWIN If you have children and your budget is resultingly tight, buying a boat for sailing and fishing can be an expensive decision. The cost of even a modest 12- to 15-foot sailboat is more than $1,500, and even then you have a single-purpose craft. Our children have been bugging us to get a boat we can use for weekend fishing,'camping and sailing. So we decided to design a craft that could serve all these purposes. The only problem was that it had to cost less than S4OO to build, everything included. Hence, the dingy/sailboat, which can be sailed, rowed or driven with a small motor. THIS PROJECT took Ed six days to build, and was constructed using ordinary handheld power tools, lots of wood screws and epoxy glue. The two good basic features of this boat are its wide beam (which seats two abreast), and a fixed narrow keel, so it can be sailed or used as a fishing boat in shallow streams. It is 13 feet long, and has frames placed 2 feet apart. Ed built the whole thing on our patio, using two 10-foot-long 2-by-4s nailed on top of saw horses to support the frame temporarily. The materials needed are 30 feet of l-by-12 hardwood (oak or equivalent) for the frames, three 4- by 8-foot sheets of Va- or 3/8-inch-thick exterior grade plywood and miscellaneous hardware for the rudder. You also will need 300-plus 1-inch wood screws and 200 or so I-V2 inch
