Dear Abby: Wife has hobby-collects garbage
DEAR ABBY: We need advice desperately. We have a dear young relative (married a year) whose house looks like a disaster area. Would it be wrong to ask if we could go in and clean it up for her? You never saw such a mess in all your life! ABSOLUTELY ANONYMOUS DEAR ABSOLUTELY: There’s a wise old truism, “Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he can eat for a lifetime.” Subtly offer your young relative a few tips from an “old veteran” on how to make housekeeping easier. If she reacts with appreciation, dig in and teach her. If she reacts with in-dignation-back off. DEAR ABBY: In a recent column a woman complained that her husband was not allowed to play tennis on a certain tennis court because he wasn't “properly attired." (He was wearing regular street trousers and shirt. He was told he had to wear white tennis shorts and white shirt.) The wile asked if you knew the reason for inis ruie, and you said you didn’t know for sure, but it was probably because white looks better and is cooler. Well, 1 know the reason. While clothing does not show
Hints from Heloise: Several hints to help the handicapped
DEAR HELOISE: You asked readers to keep sending in hints for the handicapped. Here are a few that we use for my husband. I hope they will help someone else: At the dining table, a chair with wheels makes it much easier to get the chair “legs” under the table. Place a small dinner bell at bedside, next to the chair where a handicapped person sits, and in the bathroom too. Put a rail around the “john.” It helps them to pull themselves up. Install a lift chair in the bath tub. It’s handy if you don’t have someone to help you.

perspiration they way colored clothing does, and tennis players sweat a lot. MARTHA POST: LAKELAND, FLA. DEAR MARTHA: Your explanation sounds reasonable. But read on for a few others: I believe I read somewhere that the reason all tennis players wear white is because it shows off their suntans. TENNIS PRO IN WORCESTER, MASS. Tennis players are required to wear white on the courts because if the players were permitted to wear colored clothes, you'd have stripes, wild patterns in clashing colors, and a mess of distracting designs. It might distract other players, and would certainly look like the dickens to spectators. REASONED IT OUT IN YPSILANT’I Why do tennis players have Lo dress in white? Simple: Because white is cooler. Don’t ask me why, but it is a known and proven fact. You’ll notice that people who live in the desert are always dressed in white for that reason. COMMON SENSE FROM ORANGE, TEXAS Tennis players must dress uniformly because it’s the

Notes & Quotes: Cutting heating costs
By BETTY H. SENDMEYER Extension Home Economist Don’t be tempted to wrap your home in plastic to winterize it. Plastic on the outside of the house not only keeps air from seeping into the home but also puts a vapor barrier on the wrong side of the wall. The result is a home with moisture condensing in the walls. This encourages the decay of the wood structure. The ultimate result could be the rotting of the home’s wood and deterioration of other materials. Better solutions to air leaks and high energy consumption are available, and their costs can be much less than plastic sheeting. -- Caulk around windows and doors, and any place where two surfaces connect and the materials gap. - Use a “draft dodger” at the bottom of doors or around the baseboard to prevent drafts. (A draft dodger is a fabric tube, approximately 2 inches in diameter, filled with dry sand. Scrap material can be used to make the dodger.) - If you do not have storm windows, add thin sheets of plastic to the inside of the windows. This keeps the vapor barrier to the warm side of the room. -- Use old bed sheets or other large pieces of scrap material as lining or interlining for draperies. - Close draperies when there is no sun but open them to allow the sun to warm the home. - Put a piece of masking tape across any unused electrical outlets.

paralyzed hand is excellent too as is a homemade pully to pull and exercise arms. Thanks, Heloise. Keep up the good work. Ann Levora * * * DEAR HELOISE: I save tomato sauce cans that hold exactly one cup. I keep one in my oatmeal, pancake flour, flour, and sugar cannisters. They really come in handy for measuring. I never have to look for a measuring cup. Sure saves time. A Faithful Reader * * * LETTER OF THOUGHT DEAR HELOISE:
-- Close off all unused rooms and close off the heat to these rooms. - Reduce thermostat temperatures, especially during the nighttime hours. A thermostat timer can warm the house before it is time for you to get up in the morning. -- An electric blanket will keep you warmer and use less energy than warming the entire house. - Limit heat to special activity areas, living room or family room for example, and heat these areas with space heaters only' when the room is in use. - Use fabric wall hangings on the outside walls. - - % - Arrange furniture so that upholstered pieces are on outside walls. - If draperies are not floor-to-ceiling, add cornices or seal off the top of draperies by placing a piece of cardboard between the drapery rod and the wall. - Be certain that fireplace dampers seal tightly. If the fireplace is not used regularly and does not have glass doors, seal it off with cardboard and masking tape. The cardboard can be placed on the top of the inside of the fireplace opening but be careful to remove it before starting a fire. - Weather-strip doors. Strips of rubber weather-stripping are available and are easy to use. - Other inexpensive energy-saving devices are available from local hardware stores, discount stores and energy stores.

This is a hint for people who collect houseplants. Insert a plastic fork, tines pointing up, near the rim of the pot. Then tuck a small piece of paper in the tines with the name of the plant, watering instructions, fertilizer date, or any other information that you want to remember. Sure is handy. With this trick, you won’t be apt to forget anything or make mistakes in the care of your plants. Mary Layman * * * Love your hint, Mary.
